CHAPTER 5
"Hey there Zola! What seems to be...oh. I see. Okay. It's okay Zola. We'll just patch you up here and you guys will be on your way!" Said the overly perkey Arizona Robbins. 
"Arizona, can we do a CT just to make sure there's no bleed?". I ask, worriedly. 
"It's not really necessary, but sure Grey. I'll go order one. But if it comes out clear, no MRI. okay? just stitches. If she does have a bleed, I will be able to do it with Derek standing behind me telling me what to do, since the other Neuro guy quit on us." 
"Am I allowed to be in the OR too if little Zozo needs surgery?". 
"I can make an exception. I won't tell the chief you're at the hospital, if you don't go walking around. Deal?"
"Totally. Should I go order the CT?"
"Nope, Grey. It's all on the tablets now, remember?"
"No... I think I might have been either with Bailey when you switched, which was just over a year ago and that interfered with Emilia, so, no I don't remember."
Waiting for the CT was just about the longest wait ever. When Arizona finally got back with the scans.

* in OR, Zola did need surgery to out slight haemorrhage.*

"Hey there Zola! How's your head feeling? Daddy is very good and he fixed you up so you're good as new!". I said to her as she saw me sitting in the chair in the ICU room. 
"Momma, where's Daddy and Bailey and Emi?". 
"They're around dear. It's okay. Just rest. Do you want something to eat or drink?"
"No thanks Momma. I wanna see daddy and thank him. "
"Okay Zozo. When he comes back you can. "
Ring ring ring ring went my phone. I look at it and see that Derek is calling. Wait, I thought that he was going back home. But with the location device, it says that it was just right down the street from the hospital. I answer but Derek is on the other line. It's and EMT. 
I go outside to look for him and tell a nurse to look after Zola and the kids for a second. All I see when I get outside is a blinding light and then black. 
I wake up, later, but I have no clue how much time has passed. I look around, still at Grey Sloan, in the ICU, but not the normal one. I look at the monitors and see an extra I an extra strap running over my stomach. But what could it be for? I just had a baby, and I can't be having another one. I page a nurse in here, asking if she knew where my husband was. She didn't know but that she was going to find him. 
I ask another nurse to page him. I hear a pager going off in my room, but don't see anyone. I look through a shade and I see Derek.

"DEREK! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!". I scream at the top of my lunges, trying to break through his sleep. I look closer and see that he's intabated. This can't be good, I think to myself. Derek can't really be hurt, can he? He has to live! 
"Ma'am, I need you to stay in bed, please.". Said a nurse.
"Do you know who I am?"i screamed at her.
"No... should I?"
"Yes! I'm the one who started the conduit trial on the sheep and Baby Nathan! Now let me see my husband or I will fire you right now!". 
She backs away and then runs down the hallway. 
I get up, not struggling at all, and walk over to the plastic wall and look at Derek. 
"What are you doing out of bed Grey?"
Oops, busted by Dr. Bailey. Not a good idea. At. All. 
"Hey Bailey, why the hell is Derek there?!" I say loudly.
"So that's where Shepard went." 
So she didn't know where he was either. 
"Hey Grey, get back in bed. You need to be resting. During your surgery," she says as I sit back on my bed. "We found something that looked...odd. We saw that right after you had Emilia, you apparently got pregnant again. So that's why we have the monitor where it is. Addi flew in just for you, because she's the best."
"Bailey, this is impossible, Derek and I barley even had sex and this happens again?!". 
"First, don't talk to me about that ever again, and second, this is weird, I do admit that. So what are you going to do about it if Derek doesn't wake up?"
"He will. See, he moved his head and his hands are moving for the... DEREK! DONT TOUCH THAT TUBE!!!" I shout at him. Thankfully, he stops and looks at me. His eyes get really big as he looks at me. His eyes aren't in my fave though, they're on my stomach, where the monitor strap is placed. His eyebrows go up, probably in disbelieve. 
"Bailey, can you go get him please and raise the damn plastic between us? there's no deadly virus or anything. We'll be fine. I promise Bailey. "
