Who: Cleo and Cuddy and open
What: Meeting
Where: Apartment building
When: Backdated to their arrival

Evie had cried her heart out all the way up the beach, at a pitch that made Cleo afraid that their baby daughter was actually in pain. Her heart broke for them both. Quinn was the calming influence in both of their lives and he was gone. How Cleo had reacted to him being gone the last time was not an option, as she was, for now at least, the soul carer for their baby, and right now, there seemed only to be Cuddy here to help.

Cleo turned her head and caught sight of herself in a window as she neared the apartment building. A large chunk of hair brown wavy hair had changed to a stark, shining white. A nightmare come true. She shook her head to force back tears and walked through the doors of the modern building, looking for Dr Cuddy.

	"Us to. I just have to make sure I keep away from old habits, easier here," Cleo replied (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And you have my support. Hopefully, I can make it a little easier. I can at least give you and Evie that check up. Just let me get Rachel settled." Cuddy helped Rachel onto the couch, found a game for her on the phone, and then led the way into the bedroom. "This way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cleo shifted Evie higher on her hip and followed. "Are you sure Rachel will be alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We'll leave the bedroom door open. If she needs anything, she'll call for me." Cuddy had done it before, usually when checking on House. She wasn't' sure if any of them would be alright when faced with the latest strange situation. Or if she'd find a serious, hidden injury on Cleo or one of the babies. She'd rather not have Rachel witness that, just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Are you sure your three are OK?" Cleo asked. She wasn't immensely concerned about herself, but she definitely wanted Cuddy to check Evie over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think Rachel and I are fine. I'm going to check on the twins again too." Cuddy felt as if she was lacking again, in the instinct to simply know her children's state. It was easier to have patients who could talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You don't need to worry about me, honestly. No Fiesta, so I'm safe," Cleo tried to joke (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2017-01-20 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Fiesta?" Cuddy asked. Ever since her college days as 'party pants', she associated the word with celebrations and mojitos. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I die getting hit by a car, it's fine," Cleo replied. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you know how it happens, you can change it." Cuddy said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If we're here for more than a year, I'll miss it anyway, so it'll changed," Cleo replied. "And I didn't have...this," she gestured to her hair. "But then there are new dreams with it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2017-01-21 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	A year? Cuddy supposed it was possible. She'd been to a place before the island for more than a year, and on the island for years. "Let's check Evie first." She suggested. "You can sit on the bed with her, if it'll make it easier." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cleowhosees 2017-01-22 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	Cleo settled down with Evie. "It's always you that sorts her out. Dr Banner when I was really sick, but always island doctors." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2017-01-22 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad I can help." Cuddy moved a chair near to the bed, and sat down, giving a smile to Evie. "Hi Sweetheart." She reached up and gently ran her fingers along Evie's head, checking for bumps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cleo smiled, her daughter was beautiful and she'd keep it together, even if Quinn never got here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't feel any swelling so far. That's good." Cuddy said. "Remind me, How old is she now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Seventeen months...next Tuesday," Cleo replied. "And your three? It was hard for her to make friends there, with Tim hating me so much most of the Sully's judged me on my past and let that leak through to Quinn and Evie." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2017-01-23 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Seventeen months. They grow up so fast." Cuddy said, gently examining Evie's stomach. "Rachel just turned six. It's incredible. She was only three when the island brought her to me. And the twins are over 5 months old now. Maybe they'll be friends as they grow up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Evie was literally born as the Island dragged me back. I popped back in in late stage labour. I hope they can be, and we can be too," Cleo suggested (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
