Chapter 19

Meredith: "Okay. Okay. Oh."

Arizona: "She looks good. Her weight's up, and, uh, her previous incisions have healed. The labs are within normal limits...and she's super-duper cute, aren't you? Okay." she comes into the room with a smile

Derek: "So it's an uncomplicated hernia. So you don't have to use any artificial closures, right?"

Arizona: "Yeah, no. No, it's really simple. Good. I'll do a short incision in her suprapubic crease to do a traditional exposure, and then I'll...finish with a...chupo" she says in a singsongy voice making the couple look at her confused "Oh, God. I'm sorry."

Sky: "That's what Callie calls a pacifier." she clarifies for the two making them nod their heads 

Arizona: "But Zola hasn't eaten because of the surgery. She's probably hungry. Um, you might want to try to soothe her with the pacifier. Come here, baby. Come here, little baby. Chupo. Oh, yes. There you go. Ooh. Chupo."

Meredith: "Wow."

Arizona: "All right. I'll call you when I'm ready to come take her up."

Derek: "See? We'll figure it out." he smiles at Meredith before walking out the room after Arizona lefts

Sky: "You'll be fine." she reassures Meredith before walking out the room 

➿

Callie: "Oh. Hey. Rivers. Uh, my knee replacement got canceled, and I need to break some bones."

Sky: "Aren't you supposed to mend them?"

Callie: "Well, it's my first day back, and I left my baby for the first time since we got home. I need to remember why I love being a surgeon so much or I'm afraid I will walk out of here and never come back. It doesn't have to be big. Just a sprained ankle, hairline fracture, anything."

Sky: "Okay." she nods going over to a computer to look up something for her

Callie: "Oh, my God. Anytime I hear a baby cry, it makes me think of Sofia. They all sound like her. Wait. That really sounds like her" they turn around to see Mark holding Sofia by a nurses desk and a bunch of nurses surroinding him "What? What are you doing here?" she asks moving over to him 

Mark: "It's bring your daughter to work day."

Callie: "No, it's not."

Mark: "I bathed her, changed her. I fed her, I napped her. Hi. We read a book, played with that little hanging, jingling thing...and it was still only 11:30. I needed some adult contact."

Callie: "Please take this baby away from me."

Mark: "Sure."

Callie: "I'm serious. Take her, Mark."

Mark: "Okay."

Callie: "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This baby's crack. She's a crack baby."

Mark: "You shouldn't call her that."

Sky: "Torres. You're in luck. Motorcycle crash 20 minutes out." she comes over to them after getting off the phone 

Callie: "Yes."

Sky: "Hi."

Mark: "Hey." they smile at each other as she gets a page

Callie: "Okay. Oh, I love you, but mommy's gotta go to work. Take her, Mark."

Mark: "Give me the baby."

Callie: "Just physically lift her from my arms" he takes Sofia out of Callie's arms and she starts crying a little "Oh, no."
