"alliya, hey, i need to get to work and so does dad," i shake alliya awake slightly and she tosses before turning to me.
"good morning," she smiles, rubbing her eyes before getting up and out of bed, going to her dresser and picking out an outfit.
"what do you want for breakfast? something quick because we need to go," i ask her and she shrugs.
"do we have lucky charms?" she asks and i nod.
"do you want me to pour you a bowl of that? i can braid your hair while you eat," i suggest and she nods, stripping her clothes off and replacing them with the ones she picked out.
it's been a little over a week since we brought alliya home and she was adjusting really well. she wasn't hesitant on calling me mom and jackson dad and she knew her way around the house. it's great having her around and tomorrow i have an ultrasound planned with arizona so that we can find out the genders of the twins.
everything was going great.
key word : was.
i had gone downstairs to pour alliya her bowl of cereal as well as grab myself a banana, which i quickly scarf down before alliya comes in and sits down at the table, digging into her cereal at an instant.
"good morning," jackson smiles, walking into the kitchen and kissing me on the cheek as he passes me.
"do you have any good surgeries planned for today?" i ask him and he shrugs.
"i'm not sure yet. we don't have anything planned but i'm either on owen or teddy's service today, i'm not sure who," he responds.
"i think i'm on arizona's service today with alex, which means my day is going to be nothing but interesting. i love peds, it's what i want to go into anyways,"
"i think i'm pulling more towards plastics. mark and i clicked well and it's pretty interesting. neuro is definitely still something i'm interested but i'm a little torn,"
"must suck, i've wanted to be on peds since i was alliya's age," i stick my tongue out at him, teasingly.
"yeah yeah, you're lucky that you're pretty. but we're going to be late if you guys don't hurry up," jackson says, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"do you want me to make your iced coffee?" he asks.
"depends on how well you can make it," i respond.
"hot coffee over ice, shake it, add milk, cream, sugar, and caramel. it's not that hard," jackson chuckles and i nod.
"fine, i'll be the judge of how well you can make it,"
jackson gives me the eye as i walk out of the room and go to grab a decent pair of shoes that matched my outfit, which was finally showing my belly bump. not many people at the hospital have asked about it because typically my scrubs are loose enough to cover the bump. i mean for gods sakes, i'm 18 weeks pregnant with twins, i should be showing by now.
