CARINA'S POV

I've had a long shift and I just want to sleep. Amelia's shoes are by the door so I presume she's in the guest room. Andddd y/n is asleep with her face in a plate of onion rings? Erm okay let's just move her face out of the grease so she doesn't get a reaction.

- y/n : Mhmm

- Carina : Go back to sleep bella. It's just me

- y/n : Mhno I need to change the sheets

- Carina : It's fine. Stop moving. Shhh

- y/n : There's crumbs in the bed though. I don't want to make you sleep in pizza and onion ring crumbs but I don't want to sleep without you an-

- Carina : Shh bella. We can sleep in the living room. The sofas are comfy enough. I'll change the sheets in the morning

Me and y/n are curled onto the sofa basically becoming one person due to how little space there is. It's nice to be close to her, we might not get this for a while if Andrea gets the baby then y/n will be over there helping. She's very good with Isabella though.

- y/n : I can feel you staring my love

- Carina :Your alarm is going to go off soon

- y/n : Let's make the most of it until then

- Carina : I'm not going to argue

- Amelia : Y/n. Remove your hand from Carina's pants. We're going on a trip next month

- y/n : I'm busy-

- Amelia : Arizona checked the schedule. You now have the 24th-28th off. We're going to see Mom and Lizzie. Carina you're welcome to come. The boys are staying with Arizona, she's volunteering to cover Carina's service.Y/n, you're definitely coming

Y/n definitely doesn't want to go but Amelia isn't going to let this go.

YOUR POV

There's a reason I haven't seen my mom or Lizzie for a few years. 1) They didn't want addict me, why do they get clean me. 2) I'm happy now. 3) I have a new family and new sisters.

- y/n : You got the right idea but the wrong bitch. I don't want to go see mom

- Amelia : You're whining like a child y/n

- Carina : I'll come with you

- y/n : No it's fine. I don't want to put you through that

- Carina : I'm coming bella

- y/n : Ugh. Okay we're going. I've got to get ready for work because I'm meeting the social worker today

Okay so I've got to delay this social worker so Andrew can arrive. Shouldn't be that difficult. Just ramble, I'm good at rambling.

Andrew 🔪

Andrew 🔪
On my way!

Y/n
Okay Mr enthusiastic

Andrew 🔪
Stfu. I'm approved

Y/n
Lovely. Come join
me in the NICU.
Social Worker still
hasn't arrived

This social worker is late and I'm not living for it. If she's not going to be on time she could've called. I'd prefer her to be even later because she called then just late and she didn't call.

- Andrew : I'm here. Shit- let me catch my breathe, I ran. Where is she?

- y/n : Not here yet. You'd think you'd arrive early or call ahead

- Andrew : At least I'm here on time

- y/n : Yeah, true. Hello?

- Sue : Sorry I'm late, my previous court case overran

- y/n : This case shouldn't last long

Don't screw this up Andrew. Don't screw it up.

- Andrew : Hello. I'm Dr Andrew Deluca. I've just been approved as able to adopt. I'm hoping to foster-to-adopt Isabella. Is that do-able?

- Sue : I can certainly look into it. You've obviously recently passed the accommodation inspection. Are you able to take on a baby? Do you have experience with infants?

- Andrew : I'm learning as I go however my sister and her girlfriend live next door and they have offered to help me

- Sue : It'll be a few weeks but I'll see see what I can do. How soon could Isabella be discharged?

- y/n : The next month? These things can't be forced. She could go forwards or backwards, we're doing everything we can to get her healthy and home

- Sue : Sure. Thanks. I'll look at your file and ask my senior. Bye

Well that was pretty pointless. She didn't even look at Isabella.

- Andrew : That was nerve racking

- y/n : You'll be fine. She's your daughter we've just got to wait for her to want to come home.

- Andrew : I need to go see my sister

- y/n : And he's off. Bye Andrew. 'Bye y/n/n have a good day' Jeezzz

God I hope Andrew can get Isabella.
