Meredith's POV

"Why does this always happen? She is suppose to be our babysitter so that we can work!" Derek was frustrated, well we both are. Caitlyn doesn't need to be with us at the hospital while we work, yet here she was in his office as we speak.

"She's a college student though. She can't help it that her teacher shifts the class every now and then."

"Meredith, her classes change like every other day, it seems!"

"Derek, calm down," I smiled at my husband. "I'll have Caitlyn stay with me in the clinic and if something comes up, I'll get someone to watch her or take her to the daycare. Okay?"

"Okay," he smiled knowing I liked having Caitlyn with me anyway. "I love you." He said with a kiss.

"Love you too." He started to walk off to go meet some of the other doctors that needed his approval, as chief of surgery. He stopped for a second and turned to look at me.

"I'll meet you when your shift gets done and we can go out to dinner as a family okay?"

"Sounds good," I smiled at him as he walks away and then turn around towards his office. Our 4- year-old daughter smiled Derek's smile at me.

"MOMMY!"

"Hi baby. You're going to come to work with me okay?" She nods; her blonde pigtails bob up and down with excitement. She jumps off the couch and comes over to grab my hand. As we walk to the clinic, she tells me about pre-school and her best friends. Caitlyn never seems to mind staying at the hospital. To be completely honest, she seems to like being at the hospital while Derek and I work then staying at home with Bridget, our suppose-to-be babysitter. But then again, I was like that too.

"Dr. Caitlyn Shepard, here again?" Bailey smiled at Caitlyn and Caitlyn's smile brightened the whole room.

"Yes, Mommy brought me to do consult," she joked trying to sound like a real doctor.

"Oh, we if you're here for a consult, you better let your mom go put her scrubs on." I looked down realizing that I was still in the clothing I put on to go pick up Caitlyn from pre-school in.

"Mommy go put your pretty clothes on!" Caitlyn demanded. She likes Derek and I better in our scrubs it seems. Once I asked her what I should wear on my date with Derek and my date, to see what she said, and she grabbed my scrubs for the next day and said "Your pretty clothes!"

"Ok Dr. Caitlyn, I'll go put on my pretty clothing." I smiled at my daughter, the best part of Derek and my life. Bailey grabbed some blank paper and some crayons.

"Would you like to start the pre-round notes?" I heard Bailey ask Caitlyn as I started to walk away. I smiled as I thought of how I was going to get to spend time with my daughter, which made me happy.

"Why are you so smiley Mer?" Christina asked me when I walked in the locker room.

"I get to spend the rest of the day with Caitlyn."

"Bridget bailed again? You guys really need to replace her." Christina said and true there were times when I thought about doing so, but she was good at taking care of Caitlyn when she was there.

"I thought you liked her."

"Yeah but I would rather have someone who is going to not bail on taking care of my goddaughter." Christina really liked being Caitlyn's godmother. And I smiled at her.

"I don't know though, Caitlyn really likes Bridget."

"Just think about it." WE both walked out and Christina walked towards the ORs while I walked back towards the clinic, and more importantly, my daughter. I noticed Mr. Clark, who had been here years ago with his wife.

"Good afternoon Mr. Clark. What brings you here?"

"Just checking up on something," he mumbled as he walked away. Checking up on something? He could have just said "Getting a checkup" I thought, shrugging. Once I arrived at the clinic. I went to check on Caitlyn, before starting to help Bailey with the patients.

"Mommy, I love your pretty clothes." She smiled at me, with the Derek smile and the McDreamy eyes.

"Thanks, baby." I smiled back at the best thing in our life.
