It's almost lunch time which will give Aubrey and I the perfect chance to talk and see if we can get anything further figured out involving the baby. We are running short on time. We need to get a plan in place before it's too late and we are scrambling ( Read more... )

I hand Lexie my keys and tell her to go on inside while I open the back door and smile at Ana sleeping in her car seat. I undo her harness and gently pull her from the seat, laying her head against my shoulder. This little girl has my heart and there is no denying that. Especially when she begs for a princess costume and she gets it. I'm sure ( Read more... )

I walk up towards my office, leaving Cristina to do some prep work before our next surgery. This morning was a nice change and hopefully this evening will be more of the same. I drop my briefcase down and check my messages before I head up to Derek's office to ask him about this evening. I should probably warn him that Meredith may be coming, but ( Read more... )

After changing into my scrubs I head out to the nurses station to refresh myself of what surgeries I'll be doing this afternoon. Sometimes it feels like they all blur together when you work so many days in a row. I really need a day off to take Ana to the park or something, but I suppose I'll have enough days off when the new baby comes. That's ( Read more... )

I'm surprised to see the time on the clock as I'm looking over some charts at the nurses station. I would have thought it was a lot earlier than it actually is. But I guess you lose track of time when your in an OR most of the morning ( Read more... )

I glance at the clock, finally breaking my attention away from the Knicks game I was watching. Lexie should be here soon as long as she didn't get held up at work, which could always happen. I force myself up off the sofa, I can come back to the game ( Read more... )

I can't get over how enchanting she is. At first I thought maybe it was the physical features but after talking to her, really talking to her for the first time, I've decided it's so much more than that. There's a degree of mystery to her- some form of self preservation, no doubt- that I find intriguing. There's a sense of humor and integrity and ( Read more... )

I really thought the special assignment Sloane sent us on would lead to an early, easy day. I could not have been more wrong. After running around all day, we came back to be dropped into more plastics nightmare with this patient. I sent Avery home a while ago, and I've finally got the situation under control ( Read more... )

I leave work before five for the third time this week. If they want to kick us out before we can log double over-time hours, I'm not going to stop 'em. I love being a surgeon as much as the next highly-competitive egomaniac at Seattle Grace. But I'm starting to realize it isn't everything. I don't want it to be. Not anymore. This time off has ( Read more... )

I sign the last of my charts at ten minutes to five. I head to the locker room and change into the street clothes I brought with me this morning. I make sure I have everything I need before heading towards Addison's office. Tonight is going to be a good family night out. We're going to eat lots of food and just enjoy spending time with our ( Read more... )
