Trust Issues (Grey's Anatomy)

A Hard Day's Night

s1, e1

The loud screaming of the alarm awoke the two sleeping figures in the bed, both refusing to move and both wanting more sleep, but the screaming never stopped.

A hand slammed ontop of it and the alarm stopped mid-screech. "Get up." One of the occupants whispered to the other. "You need to get ready. You can't be late." The voice tried again after no response.

"Baby, you need to get up." The response was a groan. "Alright, I don't want to do this, but you leave me with no choice, Liv." He walked out and the room was met with silence, how she liked it.

But, the silence was short lived. "Go get mommy, Lottie." Was what Liv heard when she started to wake up more and then she was met with the weight of someone climbing over her body.

"Mommy, wake up! You need to work! Mommy!" The six year old giggled as she tried to wake her mother, not knowing she was already awake. 

In one swift motion, Olivia was now sitting up and holding her daughter to her chest, delivering kisses to her forehead and tickling her sides, resulting in loud squeals filling the room. "No, mommy, no! Stop it mommy! I can't breathe!" The little girl laughed.

Within a few moments, the laughter stopped and the family was now seperated, Olivia in her bathroom getting showered and ready for her first day. Jay was downstairs making breakfast for the family of three, and Lottie was getting herself dressed for school, or trying to.

After ten minutes, Olivia was dressed into a pair of leggings, a strappy t-shirt and a hoodie, with her sneakers on her feet and her hair tied up in a messy bun. She was on her way downstairs, with purse in her hand. "Mommy, help me! I'm stuck!" Olivia heard, followed by a series of giggles coming from the six year old's bedroom.

"What have you done, Lottie?" Olivia asked, trying to keep a straight face but failing when she walked into the room and found her daughter with her top inside out, backwards and stuck on her head. "You banana. Hang on, one second baby."

Olivia placed her purse on the corner of the bed as she pulled her daughter's top over her head, turned it the right way out and put it back on her daughter. "There all fixed. Now lets go, daddy's made breakfast and then mommy has to go to work." She told her daughter, taking her hand and heading downstairs.

When they made it into the kitchen of their apartment, they found Jay with three plates set on the table and three glasses of orange juice. They sat down and ate breakfast together as a family, before Olivia had to get ready to leave. "I love you." She told her husband as they kissed, to which their daughter laughed, once more.

"Ew!" The couple smiled and went back in for another kiss, "Ew!" they were interupted again by the sounds of laughter.

Knowing she was forgetting something, she looked around, "My purse! I've left it upstairs." She quickly jogged back upstairs and found it where she left it, on her daughters bed. Shutting the door, she went back downstairs to where her daughter was finishing her breakfast and her husband was washing up.

"Right, I've got to go." She swooped up her daughter in a bone crushing hug and pressed kisses to her daughters head. "I love you. Have a good day at school, Lottie. Have a good day at work, babe." And then she was gone.
