Love and Tragedy.

Chapter 26

Meredith

I sit on the chair next to baileys hospital bed with Zola in my lap.

They wouldn't let me in any gallery room or any or room for that matter. Zola was sitting on my lap but moved onto the bed.

"Be careful, your brother is hurt remember." I tell her and she nods. She kisses the top of his head and then starts to color on the coloring book on the table thing.

"Mommy is Bailey going to die?" She asks out of the blue I give her a confused look but she doesn't say anything.

"No honey, he's going to be fine, he just hurt his arm. "What about Addy?" She asks still coloring "no Addy is in surgery and is going to come out and be fine." I tell her "I heard grandpa talking to another doctor about how they had to shock Uncle Alex and Ellis. Doesn't that mean they died?" "Yes, but they got there heart beat to start again and so they came back." I tell her.

"Can we do that with daddy?" She asks and I understand how she can be confused. "No baby, daddy's brain got hurt and so he went to sleep and he was never going to wake up." I tell her tears wanting to come out of my eyes.

"Could that happen to Alex and Ellis?" "Yeah it could." I tell her biting my nail "but we have to keep our hopes up that won't happen." I tell her "wait so if they died, does that mean they get to see daddy?" She asks "im not sure Zo you're going to have to ask them when they wake up?" I tell her.

"Okay. I'll ask daddy to send them down." She tells me and I know exactly what she's talking about. Everyday she will talk to Derek usually before she goes to bed, but sometimes other times through out the day. 

She then closed her eyes and I could see her lips moving, She misses him so much and it hurts me, she is always so strong, she is honestly a perfect mix of me and Derek and I'm s glad she got to know him even though she might hurt a little more.

She often tells the other kids story's about him, mostly Bailey, she once told me she felt very bad for Ellis because she never got to meet daddy. Her heart was pure gold and she is really just such an amazing child, all of my children are.

Richard comes in and pulls a chair next to me "Any news?" I ask still looking at my two children "Not really. They believe Addy could be almost done but Amelia doesn't want to say anything just yet." he tells me "God you should see her, running around like a chicken with her head cut off, she won't even let shadow Shepherd help." he tells me and I have a little laugh "That sounds like Amelia." I tell him.

I look at Bailey and move a stray of hair out of his eyes and right after almost like reflex his eyes open. "Hey Bubba." I greet him with a smile. "Hey it's my little champ." Richard says and Bailey smiles "What happened?" he asks confused "Remember the crash?" Zola says in a question form. "You broke your arm bud." I tell him my hand resting on the top of his head. 

"Dr. Grey?" Bailey says from the door way and then she notices Bailey awake. "Oh hey isn't it my little minnie me?" she asks and gives him a big smile which he returns. I stand up and give him a kiss on his head and I go outside to talk to Bailey with Richard following me.

Once we get outside of the room I look through the window and see Zola chatting like crazy to Bailey. "The other diver." she starts "His blood work came back." she pauses looking at me and I nod my head "He was very, very drunk." she tells me and my throat feels like there is a huge bubble in it and I also feel angry.

"Is he alive?" I ask her and she nods her head slightly which just adds to my anger.
