New to Seattle

22. Disappear

Arizona's pov

Seeing Michelle taking care of the baby makes my heart flutter. I've known her long enough to know that if she ever allowed it to happen, she would be a fantastic mom. I understand why she doesn't want to be a mom. I feel the same way. I like being able to hand them back again.  I can't believe how well she was sleeping when i came into the NICU. Especially with all of the babies around her. This is like her form of hell, yet she was so relaxed. Maybe Callie's baby has changed  how she feels when it comes to children. As soon as the power in the hospital came back on Dr Stark came back in to check on the baby. Michelle handed the baby over to him and he put her into a hospital cot to check her over.

Stark- thank you Dr Grey. She is a lot more stable now and holding her temperature well.

Shell- so she is okay?

Stark- for now she is, yes.

Shell- okay good... I'm going to go now, okay?

Arizona(following her out)- Grey? You okay? You did good, you know that right.

Shell- um, yeah, I'm fine. I just got to um, get some air.

Arizona- want me to come with you? I'm not needed anymore.

Shell- nah, its okay. I'll see you at home, okay?

Arizona- sure, okay. Oh Callie wanted to see you when you get a minute.

Shell- oh, okay. I'll go and see her now, before I leave.

Michelle's pov

I made my way through the hallways towards Callie's room. I knocked so she knew i was there.

Callie- Shell.

Shell- hey Callie. How are you feeling?

Callie- I'm good. Tired and cant wait to be able to see my baby. How is she doing? Arizona told me Stark had you up there holding her.

Shell- she is doing well. She is just like you and Mark.

Callie- Thank you for doing that for her. I know you don't like kids.

Shell- It's okay. She is actually very cute. So I didn't mind doing it.

Callie- really?

Shell- yeah. It was weird, I've never felt anything towards babies but it was different with her. It felt like i had to stay with her in the end. Like she needed me because she couldn't have you.

Callie- wow. I need to ask you something important.

Shell- what's that?

Callie- you can say no and i will completely understand...

Shell- what is it Callie?

Callie- would you be her godmother? You have done so much for me and her already and I just want to show you how thankful i am...

Shell- okay.

Callie- okay? You're sure. You're not just agreeing because...

Shell- i said okay and I mean it. Just don't expect me to babysit. I still don't like kids.

Callie pulled me over and hugged me so tightly. Why is everybody so big on hugging.

Callie- I've chosen her name too. I hope you don't mind but I'm naming her after you too.

Shell- okay?

Callie- Sofia Michelle Sloan Torres.

Shell- I love it.

Callie- thank you Shell. You really are my best friend.

I smiled at Callie as she pulled me into yet another hug.
