Against the Odds

"Hey, when you and Arizona get to the wedding tomorrow don't sit down," Miranda told Callie walking up to her.

"What do you mean don't sit down?" She asked confused.

"Just find a place and stand there,"

"You want us to stand in the back, then we won't be able to hear anything."

"Stand in the dam front."

"Then we will be blocking everyone's view."

"Just Pick a spot," Miranda snapped. "It's not complicated. Ughh, You know people allow you to open them up with a knife. If they knew you couldn't follow simple instructions, they would run like the wind from the place."

Callie stared at Miranda before it finally clicked.

"Are you trying to say, will you do me the honor of being my bridesmaid?"

"Does the whole thing have to be about you?"

"Aww we're bridesmaids," Callie awed hugging her immediately.

"See this is what I was trying to avoid," Miranda huffed.

"Wait a minute, the wedding is tomorrow. Why are you just now asking us last minute?"

"Because Ben has been getting on my nerves about this wedding. The invitations, the venue, and even down to the food." She replied.

"It's y'all's first wedding though."

"Don't you think I know that? I am a surgeon and he is an intern. I don't want to sit around and talk about decorating and all of that all day long. I mean don't get me wrong. I loved taking the girls with me to find my dress and to get theirs. I'm glad we were able to have that experience."

"You should have told us and we could have gotten ours then too. It would have been a great day."

"Do I look like the woman who wants to talk about hair and makeup?"

Callie laughed, "Hold your nose and it will be over before you know it,"

"You know when I first married Ben I was a little heartbroken about the wedding. I was pregnant, in college, and was not speaking to my parents, so they weren't there. It was not the ideal wedding but now, I actually loved the simplicity of the courthouse. If I didn't stop my husband, I kid you not, there would have been a Santa Claus and elves running around."

Callie giggled. "A Christmas wedding is nice. Are you having Carolers?"

Miranda rolled her eyes and turned to walk away.

"Wait what color do you want the dresses to be?"

"Red," she called back, shuffling down the hall.

Miranda eventually found Meredith and told her about being her bridesmaid and what color she wanted her to wear.

"Mommy." Mariah cheered and Miranda turned around quickly.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Miranda asked smiling at her daughters.

"Grandma's looking for you."

"Oh no. She's here at the hospital, where?" She questioned. She knew they had come to take her home and she didn't want to.

"She is talking to Uncle Richard."

"Ok, how about this. I will up you guys allowance for 2 weeks only if you go back and find your grandma and tell her that I'm in surgery."

"That would have worked if I wasn't standing here." Elena chastised, putting her hand on her hip.

Miranda spun around with a sheepish look on her face.
