New Start Greys Anatomy

1.02

It's only 6 in the morning and Aelia is already exhausted. It's been 2 weeks since moving here and starting her new job and two weeks since the kids started at their new schools

Aelia was up late last night having to leave work at 7 to pick up both Liam and Ian from football and soccer tryouts; she also had to pick up Debbie from her debate club. She had to rush and be back at the hospital but 7:30 like promised

Carl had a project for art class that she helped him with and than help Lip with finding a job, even though she told him he didn't need one he said he wanted to work to earn money for his car in his words "I don't want you spending all your money so I'm going to put and your going to half"

Aelia smiled at his little brother before agreeing. She had stayed up until 4 and only for 2 hours of sleep, had to get the kids fed and dropped off to school and at her job by 7:20 when her shift starts

It's going to be a long day

Aelia rushed towards her friends putting her hair into a messy ponytail "Hey, where were you?" Meredith asked, cutting off her conversation with George and Izzie. Aelia huffed trying to catch her breath "Just... dropping something off" She told them blonde

It's not that she's embarrassed with her siblings, it's just that she doesn't want her co-works to know about them. If they did, they would treat her differently, whenever someone find out she had raised her siblings on her own they either ask where her parents are and if she regrets raising them and how she's a terrible person for not giving them to DCF and letting them have a good life

Or they're in awe and say she's brave for raising 5-6 if you count Fiona- of her siblings but the truth is, she wasn't brave, she was just terrified of what would happen to her sweet little siblings if they were put in foster care

"You okay, Aelia?" George asks, shaking her shoulder. Getting out of her thoughts she nods not noticing him, Meredith and Cristina looking at her in worry. They've noticed how they're youngest coworker seems to always be tired but still works to the best of her ability and they know she's hiding something just not what

Before her friends could voice their concerns for the younger woman Dr. Bailey made her way to the group of interns giving them their task for the day. Aelia and Meredith were in charge of trauma today

As Bailey turns to leave, Meredith steps up holding a cup in her hand "Dr. Bailey, I was hoping to assist you in the OR today and maybe do a minor procedure. I think I'm ready, mocha latte?" She offered

Seeing Meredith try and get OR times the rest of the interns swarm around Bailey trying to get in the OR. Aelia shakes her head and stands back already knowing her resident wouldn't like this one bit

"Stop talking! Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what it is? Making your resident happy. Do I look happy?" Aelia snorts at the look on Bailey's face "No! Why? Because my interns are whiny. You know what would make me happy? If you would all be like Aelia and do what I say" she points to Aelia who started to head off towards the elevator to get to the emergency room "No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy, I'm Mary fricken Poppins"

Bailey snatches the latte out of Meredith's hand and walks up the stairs "What are y'all still standing there for?" She asked, seeing the four of them standing at the bottom of the steps, "Move!" The four interns scatter in panic, Meredith following her younger coworker

Aelia was filling out some charts when her pager went off, 911 to the ER. Rushing she meets Meredith at the doors
