Ana giggles, looking at all of the paint swatches in Home Depot with Tamara.

"so, what are you thinking?" Ana asks Tamara.

"maybe like this kind of bronze color" Tamara says, holding up one of the paint swatches.

"ooh, I like that" Ana agrees, softly.

"are you sure this is okay?" Tamara questions. 

"of course, my apartment is now your apartment, we're going to redecorate both yours and Lucy's rooms" Ana replies, softly.

"you're very..." Tamara trails off making Ana glance over.

"I'm very what?" Ana questions, softly.

"odd" Tamara finishes.

"okay... is that a compliment?" Ana asks, softly.

"well, yeah, I've just never met someone so..." Tamara trails off again.

"sweet" Tim finishes for Tamara, wrapping his arms around Ana from behind.

Ana giggles, leaning back into him.

"you should sit down, princess" Tim murmurs, kissing the top of her head.

"but I'm helping Tamara choose what she wants to paint her room" Ana protests, softly.

"I've already chosen, so let's get to the car" Tamara decides.

The pain of labor has been very hard on Ana. She still has belly fat from being pregnant and the labor was very painful, even more painful than it normally is because of the Pitocin. There were some after effects and it made labor very bad.

She still winces occasionally and the doctor is only begrudgingly allowing her back to work after he realized there was no real way to stop her from going to work. 

"m'kay" Ana agrees, softly, watching as Tamara orders the paint.

"how are you feeling about work tomorrow? no one will be upset if you want to take another week off" Tim murmurs into her ear. 

"I'll be upset, I don't like being holed up in the apartment, plus I want to see you in your Sergeant's uniform" Ana replies, softly.

"it's not that different from my normal uniform" Tim answers.

"still wanna to see it" Ana giggles.

"fine, fine, but you'll be with Harper and she'll know if something is wrong" Tim decides.

"sounds good" Ana nods. "there's a new rookie coming in and apparently he's a lot so I'm sure Harper will like the help"

"or the sanity, you make everything better" Tim replies.

Ana blushes, leaning into him.

"So, uh, rumor is we're getting a new rookie today." Harper says, standing next to Ana in Grey's office.

"we?" Ana asks, turning to look at Harper.

"you're officially my aide" Harper answers.

"oh, cool" Ana smiles.

"We need to talk about him." Grey adds, smiling at the cute interaction between Ana and Harper.

"Okay. That doesn't sound good." Harper frowns but there's a knock on the glass door.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Tim asks, entering the office.

"Yeah. I'm afraid I got a complaint about your uniform." Grey says, gesturing him in.
