Clarissa's POV
"Welcome back chief and nice hat." Dr. Webber looks up at me and gives me a smile.
"It's good to be back Clarissa. Uh what can I do for you?" Dr. Webber asks me before I hand him Ellis' patient chart and he flips through it.
"It is Ellis sir. I am sorry for not telling you sooner. I know that you two are close, but I was forbidden to tell anyone except for our friends. Now that she is a patient here, I can disclose that she has Alzheimer's. She seems to be reliving the heyday of her residency a lot these days. And I just thought maybe if you could stop by and say hello, it would mean a lot to her."
"Do you and your mother need a day off?" Dr. Webber asks me.
"Dr. Bailey already gave us the day off."
"Of course she did. And of course I'll go see her." Dr. Webber says before handing me the file back and I walked out of the office. Walking down the halls of the hospital, I could feel eyes on me and I couldn't help but clench the chart in my hands.
"Um...if you could just hold still." George tells Ellis as I arrive at the patient room and see him struggling to treat Ellis.
"I'm in the middle of my work day Thatch." Ellis says, referring to George as Mommy's father Thatcher Grey.
"Thatch? No, I'm Dr. O'Malley. Okay. I just need to check your..." George tries to say and I entered the room.
"You promised me that you would let Dr. O'Malley treat you." Ellis looks at me and sighs.
"Of course darling." Ellis says when I usher George over to me.
"She is allergic to penicillin and Thatch is Mommy's father, Thatcher Grey."
"It says on her chart. Clarissa, are you okay?" George asks me with a look of sympathy in his eyes.
"I will be. Do you know why everyone is looking at me?"
"Izzie told Derek about the diapers and he told everyone else. Nobody gave a rat's ass though and I believe they're just looking at you because of everything you are going through. The nurses are telling everyone that if they find out that they're mean to you, they won't work with them." George tells me.
"Thank you George." Walking out of the room, I keep walking until I bumped into someone and I looked over to see a young woman around my age. She had brown hair like me but green eyes.
"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry for bumping into you. I'm Alexandra Grey, but everyone calls me Lexie." Lexie tells me.
"Dr. Clarissa Grey-Montgomery. Are you Thatcher Grey's daughter?"
"Yes. Are you my sister?" Lexie asks me.
"No. I am Ellis' biological daughter, but I was adopted by my big sister Dr. Meredith Grey and her girlfriend Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery."
"Oh. I just came here to drop off my application for the residency program here and then I'm going to help my mother with my other sister Molly." Lexie explains to me.
"I do not know if Mommy wants to meet you yet, but I can ask. We can be friends though if you want. I always wanted a big sister. "
"Sure." Lexie says before we exchange numbers.
***************************
Addison's POV
"She's got a good grip." Amelia says as she enters the room with Meredith and Clarissa following closely behind her. The baby was gripping my finger and I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Yeah."
"I don't think, ...it doesn't look good." Meredith says, looking at the chart.
"She's a got a resistant strain of pneumococcus. The antibiotics aren't working. She's just too far gone... She does have a good grip."
"Clarissa met one of my half-sisters through Thatcher. Her name's Lexie and they're both friends now. Though Clarissa told her that I might not be comfortable with meeting her for a while and Lexie agreed waiting until I want to meet her." Meredith says before Amelia takes Clarissa out of the room.
"You're open to meeting your other sisters?"
"The fact that Lexie agreed to do it on my terms makes me more inclined to do so. Clarissa is thrilled to have an actual big sister instead of a mother figure like me." Meredith tells me and I give her a smile.
"Virginia told me that Derek knows about the diaper thing and he told everyone else. The nurses are making sure nobody gives Clarissa a hard time or they won't work with them." My pager beeps and so does Meredith's. The two of us run out of the room, seeing both Cristina and Clarissa in gurneys. Amelia was in tears and Meredith hugs her close while I go over to Cristina since I knew she was pregnant.
"They'll be okay Mer." Meredith nods before I follow Bailey and Burke.
**********************************
Meredith's POV
"What happened?" Dr. Webber's checking on Clarissa's breathing just to make sure that it's not anything serious. Cristina's having surgery to remove a fallopian tube and my mother has a tumour in her liver. Just a fucking great day!
"Clarissa went to the bathroom and when she didn't come back, I decided to text her. Olivia came running over to me, telling me that the interns from two of the other residents stopped her from leaving. Then they blew really strong perfume and cigarette smoke into her face, causing her to have a really bad asthma attack." Amelia explained to me while the tears were still falling down her face.
"It's not your fault. She should be safe in the bathroom just like everyone else. Did she say anything to Olivia before collapsing?"
"That a couple of the doctors kicked her head when she fell to the floor. Calling her a diaper wearing retarded bitch." Amelia tells me and my fingers clenched into fists.
"Excuse me for a minute." I walk away and bumped into Izzie, pushing her to the ground and kicking her.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Izzie shouts as I pulled her off the ground and pushed her against the wall.
"You and Derek should be in hell for what you did to Clarissa! You told Derek what Clarissa told Miss Roche and he told everyone else, resulting in the interns from two different residents almost killing her." Walking back to the room, I bump into Alex and he looks into the room where Clarissa laid. Virginia was doing an exam on her while Amelia was trying to get Clarissa to use her inhaler.
"What happened?" Alex asks me.
"Izzie told Derek about what Clarissa told Miss Roche and he told everyone else. The interns from two residents gave her an asthma attack and kicked her head. I kicked Izzie's ass and when I find Derek I'm kicking his ass too."
"Oh no Meredith, he's mine." Alex says before walking away and I entered the room.
"How's everything going?"
"Clarissa seems to be responding well to the tests. I do want to get an MRI done to really make sure that there's no damage. Richard wants her to stay the night just to make sure nothing's wrong." Virginia says, causing Clarissa to pout and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Sorry little one, but you're staying here. Cristina's in surgery because of her pregnancy."
"That is why Mama is not here." Clarissa said when she realizes that Addison's the one operating on Cristina.
"Exactly angel." Amelia tells Clarissa with a smile on her face, relieved that Clarissa's alright.
