The rest of the day, and basically the entire night was chaotic at the hospital. Everyone was busy.
Rose took Susan to the social workers' office. They were looking for another family member to go and get the girl.
"I have a grandmother. In England. My mother's mom" Susan said. "I haven't seen her in years. They stopped talking. I don't even know if she's still alive" she said.
"Yeah she just showed up here" Clarissa, another social worker, said staring at a computer. "She's the only one" Clarissa added looking a bit worried.
Susan wasn't sure if she felt sad or happy.
"Look Susan, that's probably a good thing. It's different and she seems really nice, see?" Clarissa said noticing the girl's face and turning the screen so she could see her grandmother's picture. She let out a little smile. She remembered her grandma, and it was all good memories.
The truth was that her grandmother moved back to England when she found out Sean was abusing his own child. Susan was 9 at the time. She tried to take Cecilia and Susan with her but Cecilia refused to go. So she went alone and cut all contacts because she refused to be involved in something like that.
"So what's gonna happen to me now?" Susan asked.
"We are going to call her and explain what's going on" Rose said.
"And I'll just have to go to England?" Susan said.
"That's up to your grandmother" Rose said.
"But what if she doesn't want two kids?" Susan asked.
"Susan. Olivia is not going" Rose said.
Susan's stared at her confused.
"What do you mean she's not going? She's my sister. You can't just take her away " she said really fast.
"Susan. Your parents never adopted her. They were foster parents. That's all" Rose said.
"What? You can't..." She said confused. "She's been with us for almost a year now. This doesn't make any sense"
"Look. Your parents file looked perfect. A good house, good jobs, an older child doing great at school. There was no reason why Olivia wouldn't stay with them for as long as the state allowed to and they would take her." Rose said.
"So what happens to her then?" Susan asked a bit angry. The thought of losing her sister was killing her.
"She's going to an orphanage till we can find a new family for her" Rose said.
"An orphanage? You can't send her to an orphanage" Susan said with tears filling her eyes.
"Susan, I know this is hard but we'll do everything to make sure she's okay and she's safe." Rose said.
"Do you promise?" Susan asked fearing for the child's future.
"I swear to you" Rose promised.

Amelia stayed on her spot the entire night. She only left the room once to go to the bathroom and managed about 2 hours of sleep. Doctors and nurses went in and out all night checking on the girl, but no changes. They had to put a feeding tube on Olivia and Amelia felt really bad.
Callie stopped by to check on Olivia and on Amelia too. She explained what happened on the girl's leg.
"Luckily the bone wasn't completely apart. I thought it was from the way it looked when I saw her leg. So I opened and luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought. I didn't have to put anything in there" Callie said. "I just need an X-ray in 2 days to make sure it's healing okay. She might need a cast though" she added.
"She's a tough girl" Amelia said smiling at the good news.
"She'll get better" Callie said. "She might just end up with a pink cast and a new mother" she said smiling at Amelia. Owen had told her what Amelia wanted to do.
Amelia just stayed there silent staring at the little girl.
"Hey" Callie called her and Amelia looked at her. "I think it's a good idea" Callie said. "I can see it" she smiled and Amelia smiled back. Suddenly Callie got paged.
"I gotta go." Callie said. "Oh and I'm the godmother!" Callie said smiling as she ran out of the door.
.
Amelia was certain of what she wanted to do but that night she went over everything about a million times. She knew it wouldn't be easy. She knew there would be tough times and likely a lot since Olivia had gone through so much. But she wanted to be there for the girl. She knew she could do it.
It was almost 7am when Meredith walked in.
"How is she?" Meredith asked at the door and Amelia looked up.
"The same" Amelia said sounding defeated.
"Did you sleep at all?" Meredith asked but Amelia didn't answer and stood up.
"How did you know?" Amelia asked serious.
"What?" Meredith asked confused.
"Zola. How did you and Derek knew she was your daughter?" Amelia asked really fast.
"Um... It was Derek. He just knew. I walked in one day and he was playing with her and he was so happy." Meredith said smiling as the scene came played in her mind. "He just looked at me and said it" she said.
"And you?" Amelia asked.
"I don't know. I just did I guess" Meredith said. "Why?" She asked. "Are you..?" She asked surprised and a bit confused.
"Yes" Amelia basically spitted out.
For Amelia's surprise, Meredith nodded yes.
"I can do it, right?" Amelia asked.
"It's hard but... You can" Meredith smiled. She could see how much Amelia wanted it. She had in fact seen it already, everyday after the child left the hospital. And she knew about Amelia's son.
Amelia smiled at her. "Thank you" she said.
"You'll be a great mother" Meredith said smiling and Alex walked in.
"What's wrong?" Amelia asked.
"Nothing. She's heading to a room" Alex said.
"Any changes?" Meredith asked and Alex shook his head no and looked at Amelia as if he was apologizing.
Meredith helped him with Olivia and than left. Alex and a nurse finished getting Olivia to her own hospital room.
"I told them to get the big couch for you" Alex told Amelia.
"Thank you" she said smiling at the couch on the corner of the room. There was a chair close to the bed and a tv facing the bed.
But Instead of the couch, she took a spot in the chair and grabbed Olivia's hand.
"Anything just page" Alex said and walked out.

Around 8am Rose took Susan, who had spent the night in her office while they waited for her grandmother to arrive, to go see Olivia.
As soon as she saw the girl bruised and full of wires and tubes laying on that bed she started crying. Rose hugged her.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" Susan said letting go of Rose and staring at Amelia.
"It's okay" Amelia said standing up and hugging the girl. She couldn't deny she was a bit angry at Susan but she new the girl was just a kid too and she must have been so scared. "It was not your fault" Amelia said running her hand on the teen's back and the teen sobbed. After calming down a bit Susan let go of Amelia and asked "was it you that Olivia called?"
Rose and Susan could see Amelia trying hard not to cry as she nodded yes.
"Amelia. She trusts you more then anyone She's ever known." Susan said. "I've never seen her being like that with anyone else. She loves you. You gave her your number so she would have a escape. So she would be safe. And it's not your fault that Sean lost his shit and did this. You gave her hope. It's not your fault Dr Shepherd. It's his." Susan said fast. "And he's gonna pay for it"
Suddenly April interrupted.
"There's a Meryl Davis looking for you Miss James" April said and Rose looked at Susan.
"Who is Meryl Davis?" Amelia asked them.
"My grandmother" Susan said slightly smiling as her eyes filled with tears.
"Let's go?" Rose asked Susan who nodded excited.
"Rose could you come by later please? I need to talk to you." Amelia said fast before the women left.
"Of course" Rose said. She had not heard from anyone Amelia's plans but she could see that there was no way the woman would let that little girl go away again.
Amelia sat back on her spot and the two women left the room.
.
Susan froze as she walked into the social workers' office and saw her grandmother. The woman looked gorgeous and very nice.
"Susan?" Meryl said with a slightly British accent.
"Grandma?" Susan said and ran and hugged the old lady.
"Oh love. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" Meryl said as the teen cried in her arms. Susan let go and Meryl asked "how's the little girl?"
"She's in a coma" Susan said sadly.
"I never even knew about her" Meryl said. "I'm so sorry Susan. I should have taken you with me"
"If you had done that I don't even want to think what could have happened to Olivia" Susan said.
"They'll take good care of her Susie. You'll see" she said hugging her granddaughter again. "And about you. I've got you, okay?" Meryl said.
"Okay" Susan said.
"I'm never leaving you again" Meryl said.
.
Rose left the teen and the grandmother talking at her office and headed to talk to Amelia.
