I am sooo sorry for not updating! If you have any ideas on where this story could go, please let me know! Also I'm updating this on my phone so please forgive me for any typos.
Lyla could barely stay in her seat any longer, she was so eager to meet up with her dad and go shopping with Zola and Sofia. She was currently seated in between the two in algebra 2, but the numbers weren't making much sense at the moment. finally, the bell rang and the girls jumped from there seats and made there way outside to the sidewalk, trying to spot Marks fancy plastic surgeon car.
"there he is! " Zola noticed, walking over with the other girls. they put their bags in the trunk, and hopped in.
"hey girls! So, where are we headed first?" Mark was so excited to spend the afternoon with his daughters and niece. it would be great bonding time for himself and Lyla, but also would keep her comfortable having Zola and Sofia there too.
"well, I need some new white jeggings, a new top, New boots, and a cute new dress for this hospital event you guys are making me go to." Sofia informed Mark, referring to her moms and mark.
"yeah, I need a new dress for that thing too. I'm guessing so will Lyla, because you are officially not only part of our blood family, but our hospital family as well!" Zola looked at lyla, trying to make her feel included.
"well, you girls lead the way. but, I want to see what your getting. make sure its appropriate." mark said.
"daaaaad, its always my moms that worry about that! Even you said yourself, boys will hit on us whether were wearing turtle necks or spaghetti strap tanks.' Sofia complained.
"yeah uncle Mark, you're supposed to be the cool one!" Zola added.
"to be honest, all of your moms made me promise I would filter what you're buying." he defended.
"I'm just so happy to be here with you guys. I wish I could have been going on these shopping trips forever." lyla said.
"but now you can come with us every time!" Zola exclaimed
The girls wore out mark after just a few stores. Lyla too, actually. She wasn't used to Zola and Sofia's crazy shopping habits. But, she already knew that she could definitely catch on, quick. After finally wrapping up the outing, they were on their way to Meredith and Dereks for the party. Lots of people would be there, but that wasn't out of the ordinary. Oftentimes, when it got dark in the winter, they would all havehuge snowball fights in the big field next to the dream house. usually, it was kids versus adults. Other times, they would have sledding races down the big hill. It was always a competition. but, that was to be expected seeing as though they were all surgeons.
"Mom! I had the most fun today. thanks for letting me go."lyla exclaimed to her mom as they walked into the house.
"oh honey, I'm so glad. Their are so many people that are very important to me that I'd like to meet. some of which you may have heard of from Sofia or Zola." she brought lyla over to where everyone was standing. waiting to see her.
"Alright, this is Richard Webber, a great mentor and boss." she motioned to Richard who waved at Lyla, and handed her a gift. Next, her mom introduced her to Callie and Arizona, both of which had tears in there eyes due to the emotional setting. they scurried up to her with more gifts and hugs.
"Oh sweetie! This is so wonderful! We are so happy that you are part of the family now. Welcome!" Callie was so excited, which made Lyla even more happy. it also reassured her that she would fit in with everyone. Next was Bailey and Ben. Ben had not known Lexie that well, but Bailey sure there was Alex and Izzie, Teddy and Henry, Cristina and Owen, and Jackson and April. Lyla was a bit overwhelmedbut everyone was so welcoming and they all seemed really nice. After being introduced to all the adults, she went to see all the kids. the little girls loved her, and the boys had crushes on her. pretty similar to how it was with Zola and Sofia. After hanging out a while longer, they went to eat. there were two tables, one for the kids and one for the adults. She sat between four year old Paige and 21/2 year old Lexie. Because she was new, all the little kids wanted to sit next to her.
"Thank you Aunt Meredith, dinner was great. thanks for letting me come." Lyla went into the kitchen to help Meredith put away the dishes, hoping to get to see what her aunt was like.
"Oh, really I an just so excited to get to know you. really. And you are welcome here any time, day or night. actually, I offered to your mom that you guys can stay here while she gets back in her feet. More so so that we can spend more time together. she smiled and enveloped her into a tight hug.
"Seriously! That would be great! Thank you"
"You're welcome. Now, I believe that the snowball fight is starting. Let's go."
