Friday came by really fast.
Amelia was scared about the meeting and also about Olivia's check-up. The girl had to do X-rays, a blood test, and also get her kindergarten shots, which Amy knew could turn out to be chaotic.
The check-up was at 8 so she woke Olivia up at 7:30 because she couldn't eat anything till her blood test. She got a jacket for the girl and headed out, taking Olivia in comfy pajamas to the hospital since she was very sleepy.
Olivia fell back asleep on the drive to the hospital holding her blanket and with her pacifier. Once they got there Amelia carried sleeping Liv inside.
"Hi" Alex said approaching them. "How is she?" He asked.
"She's doing good" Amelia said.
"Let's do the blood test first and then she can have breakfast and we'll do the rest" Alex said.
Amelia entered and sat on the chair, Olivia woke up.
"Hi" Alex said.
When the girl saw she was already in the hospital she hugged Amelia tight.
"It's okay honey. It's just a little blood test" Amelia told the girl.
"No" Olivia said. She wasn't crying but she was scared.
"It's just like the one I did, remember?" She said.
"It won't hurt. I promise" Alex said. Olivia sat up straight and she was very brave and let Alex do it just fine. She did say Au a couple times and rested her head on Amelia threatening to cry but she didn't.
Once done, Alex checked her fever, her bruises and everything else. When he was over he said Callie would take the girl for X-rays but before that she could have breakfast and she asked for cereal at the cafeteria, so Amelia took her.

At the cafeteria Amelia got Cheerios for the girl and sat down with her.
"Hi Olivia" Dr Stephanie Edwards said when she spot the girl.
"Hi" Olivia shyly said.
"How are you doing?" Dr Edwards asked.
"Good" Olivia said.
"Edwards!" A doctor called and Edwards smiled at the girl and ran away. She was working and busy. Amelia and Olivia laughed.
Olivia ate and then Amelia picked her up and went back to the peds floor to look for Alex.
"Amelia?" Callie asked as she spotted Amelia in the hallway. Olivia was hiding her face on Amelia's hair when Amy turned to see Callie.
"Hi" Amelia said.
"Alex just headed to surgery" Callie said. "Arizona will take over" she added. "She's waiting for us"
"Okay" Amelia said.
"Is she asleep?" Callie asked since Olivia didn't move to look at her.
"Oli." Amelia said trying to get the girl away from her neck but Olivia held her tight. She knew the girl was awake.
"Oh I see... She's shy again" Callie said and went to face Amelia's back. She lifted Amelia's hair and was able to see Olivia's face. "Hi" she said and the little girl smiled, Callie laughed.
"Let's go?" Amelia asked smiling and they walked there.
When they got to the X-ray room Callie went to get the girl.
"Remember this Livy?" Callie asked the child. "Is just a picture like last time okay?" She said putting her hand on the girl's side to pick her up. Olivia held Amelia tight. "It's okay munchkin. It won't hurt" Callie said but nothing.
"Amelia will wait right outside with me. She won't go anywhere" Arizona said and Olivia let go.
"There you go" Callie said smiling laying the girl down.
They did X-rays of her chest and she did great. Amelia waited outside and as soon as it was done Callie took Olivia back.
"She did super good" Callie said smiling handing the girl to Amelia.
"Let's go get your stitches out?" Arizona asked.
"Is that gonna hurt?" Olivia said almost crying.
"No. No honey. It just tickles a little" Callie said.
"Tickles?" Olivia said and Amelia said "yeah. It won't hurt"
"Can we go do that?" Callie asked smiling at Olivia.
"Okay" the girl said and rested her face on Amelia's shoulder and put her blanket on her face.
They went in and Amelia sat Olivia on the exam table but the girl wouldn't let go of her.
"Lay down. I'm going to be right here baby" Amelia said.
"No" Olivia started to cry. She was scared.
"Oh baby don't cry. It's won't hurt" Amelia said trying to wipe Olivia face but the girl kept trying to hid it on Amelia.
"Why don't you sit down here Amy and she can hug you and we can do her back first and when she sees it doesn't hurt she'll lay down and we'll do her tummy" Arizona said. "How about that? Is that okay?" She asked Olivia and the girl nodded.
Amelia sat on a chair and placed Olivia on her lap hugging her. She pulled the girl's shirt up and for Arizona's surprise her back only had one tiny purple spot. It had been healing perfectly.
"This looks very good Livy" Arizona said sitting on a chair in front of Amelia. She took the bandage off and said "it's perfect" when she saw the two perfect little lines.
"Alright. So Livy it's just gonna feel a little funny okay? I won't hurt" she said and Olivia hugged Amelia tighter. The kid was holding her tears, she was really scared it would hurt.
Arizona started and Olivia just flinched a couple times. She was done super fast. Arizona put a new bandage on and that was it.
"You did so good" Callie told the girl.
"Let's lay down now?" Amelia said standing up with Olivia in her arms.
"No. I wanna stay with you" the girl said tightening her hug.
"I'll be right here. I'm not going anywhere" Amelia said sitting Olivia down. "Lay down baby. I'm right here" she said and Olivia laid down. Amelia pulled the girl's shirt up to show her stomach and kept running her thumb on the girl's cheek.
"It's gonna hurt" Olivia said looking at her tummy and almost crying.
"Look at me. Don't look over there. It won't hurt. Your back didn't hurt" Amelia said.
"But my tummy hurts already" Olivia said, letting her pacifier fall from her mouth, crying a little and scratching her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Well be very careful so it won't hurt okay?" Callie told the girl.
"Amy" Olivia cried opening her arms so Amelia would hug her. The woman did just that and said "you're gonna be okay. I'm right here". Amelia got the pacifier and put it on the girl's mouth. "I'm right here baby" she said kissing the girl's forehead.
Arizona started and Olivia silently cried through the entire thing. It didn't hurt but she was really nervous and scared so she was unable to hold her tears in. The three women kept telling her how good she was doing and that it was almost over.
"All done. Now just a little cream okay and a bandage, alright?" Callie said.
Olivia kept hugging Amelia till they were done and then Amelia picked the girl up and rocked her a little so she would stop crying.
Suddenly Owen walked in.
"Look who's here!" Amelia told Olivia but the girl didn't even move.
"Hi Oli" Owen said and as soon as Olivia heard his voice she turned around to face him.
"Come here" he said opening his arms and the girl went. She laid her head on his shoulder.
"She just got her stitches out" Amelia said smiling at the scene. She could see how much the little girl liked the man.
"You did? That's so cool Oli" he told the girl.
"I wanna go home" she cried.
"It's almost all done" Amelia said standing up.
"It's 9 already" Arizona said.
"Let's do hers first and then the others" Amelia said.
"Oli. Let's sit back down so we can give you your shot okay?" Amelia said. "Where do you want to get it?" She asked the girl since the day before she had done stomach and leg.
"Leg" the girl said.
"Come here" Amelia said.
"I can hold her" Owen said.
"Would that be okay Olivia?" Amelia asked. She rather have him holding the girl for that.
"Yeah" Olivia said and Owen sat down with the girl on his lap. Amelia pulled Olivia's pants down and Arizona went to give the shot. It was fast and easy. Olivia just flinched and held Owen lab coat tight and that was it. No crying or even Aus. Arizona pulled the girl's pants back up.
"Look at this brave girl" Callie said. "Not even an Au" she said smiling and Olivia hid her face on Owen's chest.
"Now your school shots and we can go, okay?" Amelia said and the girl just stayed there silent.
"It's on her arm right?" Amelia asked Arizona.
"Yeah" Arizona answered.
"It is?" The little girl asked relived.
"Are you okay with that?" Callie laughed and everyone was smiling glad she wasn't screaming that she didn't want more shots.
"Yeah. It doesn't hurt on the arm, right?" Olivia asked. As far as she remembered injections on her arm never hurt so she was happy it would be on her arm.
"Right" Arizona said smiling. She wasn't lying, only one of the 4 shots Olivia needed hurt.
"Okay. So you'll be a big girl and you're going to sit still for me, okay? No jumping" Arizona said.
"Can you hold my hand?" Olivia asked Amelia, who smiled and grabbed the kid's hand. Arizona did the first one and not even a word, she was fine. The second one she said "ouch" but didn't cry. The third there was and "ouch" again and tried hard not to cry as she stared at Amelia. The fourth hurt and she couldn't help and cried. She started sobbing and her pacifier fell.
"I'm sorry. This one does hurt a little bit. I'm sorry honey" Arizona said.
"No more" Olivia cried.
"You're all done" Callie said.
Olivia looked at Owen's eyes and he stood up and just held her tight and rocked her slightly. He knew she was in fact in pain. The shot she took burned.
"Just showers still, okay? No baths." Arizona said.
"And she needs to come back in 2 weeks for her cast" Callie said handing some papers to Amelia.
"Okay" Amelia said and turned around. Owen had taken Olivia outside to try to distract her because she was still crying.
"Oh I got her something" Callie said and ran out to the nurse station. She ran back with two pink crutches.
"Oh my god" Amelia said laughing.
"Look at that Oli" Owen said and Olivia turned to face Callie.
"Do you like it?" Callie asked. "You can walk now" she told the girl.
"What's that?" Olivia asked confused and with a wet face.
"These are called crutches and it helps you walk when you have a cast on." Amelia said. "Do you wanna try?" She asked and Olivia nodded yes.
"Alright" Owen said putting Olivia down. Callie adjusted the crutches and put it under Olivia's arms while Owen helped the girl stay up.
"Now you're going to hold this tight" Callie and the girl did it. "Good job. Just like that. And now take step with this leg. This one you keep off the floor" Callie explained and Olivia did it.
"Look at that" Amelia said kneeing down next to Owen.
"It's too hard and it hurts a little" Olivia said after taking two steps. Amelia went behind and Olivia sat down on Amelia's lap on the floor.
"You'll get the hang of it" Callie said. "And it's pink!" She smiled big at the girl. "Did you like it?"
"Yes, thank you" Olivia said. "But can you carry me a little more?" Olivia asked turning to face Amelia.
"Of course I can" Amy said and hugged the girl while everyone smiled.
"Alright well… we gotta go" Amelia said standing up and picking Olivia up.
"Already?" Callie asked giving the girl her crutches to hold.
"Yeah. I'll stop by later if I have time" Amelia told Callie but looked a bit to Owen.
"I see" Callie smiled. "So bye Olivia. And I'll see you sometime right?"
"Yeah. But not for shots or exams, right?" Olivia said.
"Right. I promise you a playmate soon with my daughter, Sofia, okay?" Callie said.
"Okay" Olivia said.
"Bye sweetie" Arizona said.
"Bye" Olivia said and rested her head on Amelia's shoulder.
"Bye Oli" Owen said kissing the girl's forehead.
"Bye" Olivia told him and started to suck her thumb. She looked very sleepy.
Owen kissed Amelia on the mouth and she walked out.
"Oh so it's like that now?" Callie asked him.
"What?" He said.
"No more sneaking around?" Arizona asked.
He laughed and walked out.
"Shit" Callie said picking the pacifier up.
"Run" Arizona said and Callie just ran after Amelia. She found them waiting for the elevator.
Ämy! You forgot this" She said handing the pacifier to the woman.
"Thank you" Amelia said trying to hold a child, crutches , her purse and a pacifier.
"Wait Let me help you" Callie said and grabbed the crutches, the bag and the pacifier, and walked to the car with them.
When Amelia got to the car Olivia was already out. She put the sleeping girl on the car seat, put the crutches on the passenger's seat and the pacifier on her purse, and headed to Judge Richardson's office.
