Home (Grey's Anatomy Series)

Hesitation

Getting out of bed, I hurry into the bathroom before locking the door.

"Elena?" Jackson whispered as he was in out closet.

Twisting a towel around I place it right at the crook where the wooden floor and the tile meet.

Running over to the toilet, I grabbed my hair and tried so hard to throw up quietly.

"Elle?"

Gasping for air, I held my stomach while I threw up again.

"Were you called in?" Jackson asked again but this time he knocked on the door.

Wiping my mouth with toilet paper, I flushed the toilet and opened the door.

"Yeah, sorry." Striding over to the closet, I grabbed some pants and an oversized t-shirt on a hanger.

"Do you want me to wake up Theo?"

"No, I'll just call the babysitter."

Heading downstairs to my purse, I grabbed my phone and dialed Patty's number.

"I'll leave the key in the mailbox," I whispered to her.

"Okay, thanks."

"What did she say?" Jackson asked as he came downstairs.

"She's on her way."

"Great. I'll warm up the car."

Zipping up my boots, I grabbed my sunglasses before heading back upstairs and down the hallway to say goodbye to Theo.

"I love you, bud," I whispered.

"Love you too, mam."

Kissing him on the cheeks, I ran down the stairs one more time and to my car, before waiting for Patty.

"I'm here, you two can go." She said as she parked next to us.

"Thank you, again!" Jackson yelled as we headed straight to work.

Walking across the street with Jackson, we went through security before I went to the left side of the hospital.

"Whoa? Where are you going?" He asked as I let go of his hand.

"Um, Alex needs me for a consult. I won't be long."

"Okay, just remember that Callie needs us to go over the cadaver procedure later today."

"I will, I'll see you for lunch?"

"Yeah. Love you."

"Love you too."

Heading up to the 4th floor, I walked out of the elevator and continued to go down the hallway and asked for Karev.

"He's in Room 352."

"Thank you," I said to a nurse.

Opening the door to the examining room, Alex was already sitting down and setting up the sonogram.

"You made it? How was the drive over here?"

"Fast. Jackson was called in too."

"Any morning sickness?"

"Yeah, luckily he was in the closet so he didn't hear much."

Setting my purse on the counter, I take off my jacket before sitting back on the examining table.

"Any cravings?"

"Um, everything. I ate pickle's with Hot Cheetos."

"That's not bad?"
