GREYS ANATOMY| Amelia x OC

And then there were two.

Izzie has been lying on the bathroom floor ever since Denny died and it's getting a little old. Alex, George, Christina, Meredith, and I are all outside trying to get her to come out.

"Ok she's been in there all night, we have to do something" says George
"Yeah" we all agree looking at Meredith
"Why're you all looking at me?" She asks confused
"Well this is familiar territory for you" says Christina
"Unfamiliar!" She says
"You're all dark and twisty" Christina says back
We all agree and start giving examples of why she's so dark and twisty.
"So all the sudden I'm the President of people with crappy lives?" She asks
"We have to do something, someone has to go in there" George repeats

We all push George in there but he doesn't really get much out of her. Mer starts cooking in the kitchen because apparently that's what you do when someone dies?

"Yeah I know what to do when someone dies, I am a Jew. I know food and death. It's shivah" Christina says
"Is it Shivah Even if she's catholic?" Mer asks
"Well, shivahs what i know how to do so... yeah it's shivah"
"Elena" Meredith says
"Hm"
"Your brother died"
"Last time I checked, yes he did"
"What'd you do"
"Drank and got put into rehab"
"So... not shivah"
"Not shivah"

They both looked at me for a moment before I looked at mer
"What's wrong with you" I asked her
"Everything with me is fine. It's Izzie that we're worried about"
"Oh, what did you do" Christina asks
"Denny died, Burke got shot, let's just have some perspective and remember what I did is a tiny, slightly small-"
"Whatever. Spit it out" Christina cuts her off
"I lost my panties last night"
I spit out my water and Christina's jaw is on the floor.

I'm in the pit when a paramedic runs in with a baby
"What's going on?"
"Premature newborn found in a trash can at turner prep school. The umbilical cords still attached."
"You didn't start an IV? He's dehydrated." Alex jumps in
"We couldn't find a vein"
"I need to get an IV access" says Alex
"Get me an I.O. Needle, and I need a neonatal intubation kit." I say
We both look at Olivia who's just staring at the baby.
"Olivia, go! Move now!" Alex yells
"They pulled me from the floor. I'm just down here helping with the flu overflow... how old is that baby?" She asks
I Pick the Baby up and alex grabs the stuff as we see how many people are infected.
"Wait, wait, wait. What are you doing?" Asks Olivia
"You think we're going to leave this sick, premature infant in the ER?" I say
"He has to be admitted, you can't just take him"
"Just page Addison Shepherd and tell her to meet us in the NICU" Alex tells Olivia

We have a group of nurses helping the baby as Addison walks in to look at the chart.
"Karev, Torres?"
Alex starts "premature newborn make with Petechiae"
"What's his platelet count?"
"17,000" I say
"17,000!? Did you transfuse platelets?" She asks me as she looks concerned
"Yes but it didn't help"
"Where's the mother?" She asks
I look at her with tears in my eyes.
"I don't know." We both say
"Doctors, I'm not asking you where the mother is for my health. I expect you to use your brain. Where is the mother?"
"I don't know" we both say again, this time louder.
"The baby was found in a trash can at a Highschool." I say wiping my eyes on my shoulder
"They left him in a trash can." Addison repeats
"He's got some inner abdominal bleeding on CT, you wanna run some more tests?" Alex asks
"Dr Shepherd?" I say
"I need a stat ultrasound and for you to infuse 2 grams of IVIG, if there is no cranial bleeding. And find out where the mother is, I need to test for maternal platelet antibodies." Addison says
"Can't you just do surgery to fix the abdominal bleeding" asks Alex
"If I wanted to kill him, I could do that, damn it. Who does this?" She says to herself as Olivia walks in to tell her some people are here about the baby.
"Elena come with me, Alex do what I said"
"Why her?" Alex asks
"Because she puts people in their place without getting physical"

We approach a group of highschoolers and their parents who are arguing about who's baby it is.

"Hi this is doctor Elena Torres and I'm doctor Montgomery-Shepherd, we're treating the newborn. He has an emergent blood condition. I need to know whose baby it is I'm dealing with."

All 4 of the girls deny knowing anything about the baby, their parents also don't know anything.

"One of you must know something ortherwise your parents wouldn't be here." Addison says
"Can't you just do some sort of DNA test do that the rest of us can get out of here?" One of the mothers asks
Addison sighs and looks at me.
"DNA results take days, and frankly I'm not concerned with getting the rest of you 'out of here'  because if this baby isn't treated, he's going to die." I say maybe to aggressively

Addison offers to do vaginal exams on each girl but that was shut down pretty quickly by the parents.

"A child's life is in jeopardy here. And it's not your consent that I need." I say looking down at the girls

Alex and I are talking with the girls as Addison talks with the parents. They all stick to their word because none of them even come close to confessing. After that we give everyone a break while is three discuss everything.

"How do you not know your kids pregnant." Alex asks
"You love your kids, you wanna see the best in them." Addison says
"Okay, then how do you have a baby and then throw it in a trash can?" Alex fires back
"Something happens,  and you panic. You freeze, and you want to hide it and pretend like it didn't happen. I get that." I say
"You get that?" Alex asks
"I do."
"I just don't get what happens afterwards. I don't get how you go back to class and pretend like everything's fine. Everything's not fine." Addison says
"You don't" I say
"What?" She asks
"I was their age when I was pregnant. Nobody knew except Callie. Not my parents, not my brother. I put my little girl up for adoption because I knew I couldn't do it. But you don't forget about it" I say
The room is quiet until alex gets the blood results back. And then there were two.

We brought the last two girls in to look at the baby.
"There he is. That's your son. I want you both to look at him, because it's not true that you did something wrong. You both are wrong. You're wrong for covering this up. You're wrong for lying about it. You're wrong for letting this little baby, this sweet, innocent, beautiful little boy suffer like this. You're wron-"
I Cut Addison Off "he's dying, and it's your fault. It's both of your fault. And thing is the truth will come out. In time, it will come out. It always does. It just does." I say
"What do you know?" One of the girls asks me

"I was your age when I found out I was pregnant. I was scared out of my mind, I didn't tell my parents or anyone. When I went into labor I was at school. I freaked out, ran away home, and had my sister take me to the hospital where I delivered my beautiful baby girl. But I couldn't keep her because I knew I couldn't take care of her. I put her up for adoption because I couldn't think of any other thing that would keep her safe. You put your baby in danger, you tried to kill your own son. That'll stick with you, but you can't stay frozen forever. And when the truth comes out, this baby will be dead."

A second later one of the girls looks up at me.
"Please don't tell my mom okay?"
I pull her into a hug and thank her for telling the truth.

Flashback to this morning

I walk into the bathroom and lay next to Izzie. I don't say a word I just lay there.
"Are you gonna say anything?" She asks
"No, not unless you want me to"
"How did you handle your brother dying?" She asks
"You don't wanna know, but I did showed" I say to her
She laughs "a few more minutes"
"Okay" I say as I leave the room
