Meredith's POV
Forty years ago, The Beatles asked the world a simple question, they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely the surgical wings of hospitals. Cristina, George, Clarissa, Izzie and I are all in the NICU watching over the quints.
"I have the best quint. Lucy, she just smiled at me." George tells us while smiling at Lucy.
"She's nine hours old, George. Besides Charlotte's the best and clearly smart. She's got wrinkles on her forehead, very serious." Clarissa looks over at me with a wounded look on her face and I hug her close to my chest.
"You are clearly my smartest little one." I whispered to Clarissa before kissing her temple which earns me a smile from her.
"Julie has her organs on the outside of her body and she's still alive thank you." Cristina says while Clarissa was looking over at Emily Russell.
"Okay, A. This is not a competition and B. my quint kicks your quints' bums. Emily is strong, she will not let go of my finger." Clarissa says when Alex enters the room and gives us a smile before walking over to Kate's isolette.
"Kate's the best one." Alex tells us when Dr. Bailey enters the NICU to see us fawning over the babies.
"Who's on call tonight?" Dr. Bailey asks us.
"I am." Clarissa says, causing Alex and I to look at her because technically she's been here for the past two nights taking care of Dorie.
"All right, the rest of you go home. Sleep. All five quints are still alive. It's a good day." Dr. Bailey says before everyone else but Clarissa and I leave the room.
"What's going on with you? You aren't supposed to be working nights for at least another few weeks because you've been watching over Dorie for the past two nights."
"I just switched with someone else to work tonight." Clarissa says while fiddling with her glasses.
"I know you're lying little one. What's really going on?" Clarissa clenches her hands into fists and her eyes go wide with anxiety.
"Please just stop Mommy. It is safer if you leave it alone." Clarissa begs me and I realized that she was being forced to do this.
"I'm not going to leave this alone, but I'll let you calm down. Then we will talk about this." Clarissa nods and I exited the room, bumping into Arizona.
"Are you watching over the quints as well?" Arizona asks me.
"No. Clarissa is but she's not supposed to be since she has been working for the last two nights straight. Can you please watch over Clarissa while I go find Addison and Amelia?"
