Shapeshifter!Trinity who actually shapeshifts to the age she regresses to.
Probably some AU where everyone knows she has powers and is chill with it. Maybe people ask her to cover for them for a few minutes but Dana always knows it’s her because “Emma doesn’t talk like that” 🤨 She’s gotten good at imitating Javadi and Dennis because of how often she hangs out with them. Mostly the attendings see through it going, “Trinity we know it’s you go back to charting”
Anyways she’s been playing around with that power for a while until one day Baran gets out of bed wondering where she is and just sees a baby crawling around the floor. One look at her big green eyes and ‘oh great it’s just Trinity’
Baran will watch her like a HAWK. That baby is going nowhere. Which is perfect for her, Trinity is attached to her hip at all times when she’s that little. Yolanda would put a sling around her because she knows the second Trinity is out of their sight it’s over for them.
It’s worse when it happens at the hospital. Maybe one day they lose a patient and it hits her harder than most. Dana would tell her to get some air and take 5 in the break room. After like 20 minutes she gets worried so she heads over and finds baby Trin ripping up paper on the floor.
Then she’s gotta get Al-Hashimi to get her and of course Baran keeps her by her side (unless she’s in a trauma) then she passes her around like a hot potato between the staff.
Literally a stupid idea running through my head LMAO. i also got out of a concert rn so i apologize for any typos very sleep deprived 😭
Little!trinity teething/biting anything to give some relief?
She chomp (based on @goodnightbeas shapeshifter au!)
Emma was trying to be a good babysitter. She swears! Trinity had shifted into an older baby, not quite a toddler, and was TEETHING HARD. It was awful. She had one sharp tooth and the other canine was breaking through.
“Come on Trinity, let’s try this one.” Emma held up another tether, this one frozen. She was attempting to replace her arm, which Trinity had decided was her favorite teether.
Trinity took the toy in her hand, and put it in her mouth. She gnawed at it for 10 minutes, before returning to Emma’s arm after a brief whine.
“Now that thats over.” Baran sighed, having gotten changed into a hoodie at the end of her shift. Emma thankfully was happy to hold Trinity for a little while, during handoff and a last minute trauma.
“Ma! Ma!” Trinity squealed. Reaching for Baran who took her in her arms. Trinity immediately took Barans hoodie strings and began to chew on one of them. Content.
“She was good, I think she might be teething or something in this form?” Emma said, rubbing where Trinity had gummed/used her one tooth to chew on her.
“I hope she didn’t hurt you or cause too much trouble.” Baran sighed, “it’s always hit or miss with this age.”
“I’m okay!” Emma said, patting Trinity’s back once.
“Ma! Home!” Trinity said. Tucking her head into Barans chest.
“Yes, azizam, we’re going home.” Baran said, “Thanks again Emma.”
“No worries.” Emma replied and turned to get ready to leave for the day as well.

🔥 “hide and seek”
Robby hears the sound of Gloria’s heels before he sees her.
Fuckkkk.
“Dr. Robby, a word?” He groans. Nothing good ever came from those words. “Sure, Gloria.” He mutters under his breath.
Gloria speaks with him in front of the nurse’s station with Dana attempting not to overhear. “Dr. Robby, is it true that there is a toddler wandering around the ED unsupervised?”
Word of Trinity’s shapeshifting abilities hadn’t really left the emergency floor. Only Walsh and Yolanda from upstairs were the only outside two that knew about it.
He didn’t really care, everyone had their ways of coping with their shitty lives. And she was always making people laugh in the ED big or little with her powers. He shrugs. "Uh, not that I've heard of."
Gloria gets that 'are you fucking kidding me' look in her eyes. "Well I've had patients report that they've seen a child just run around with a stethoscope." Robby has to bite back a smile. He didn't know how Baran was keeping her supervised when she was regressed. Sometimes she'd follow Yolanda to the elevator alllll the way up to the surgery floor and she wouldn't notice until she gowned up.
"I'm sure its just some patient's kid getting into mischief." He looks past Gloria's head and sees Baran with Trinity on her hip before her eyes go wide and she ducks into a hallway. Gloria rolls her eyes.
She obviously doesn't believe it but she didn't have the time nor patience to go on a manhunt for a child.
"Just handle it." She grumbles before heading back up to the elevators.
Dana smiles. "Smooth." Robby rolls his eyes and heads over. "What was I supposed to tell her? That we got an R2 shapeshifter who loves causing trouble?" The charge nurse just shrugs and looks back down at her iPad.
Robby glances in the corner of his eye to see Baran kneeling down and talking softly to Trinity.
Yeah. Right call.
"trauma bay." 🌄
Yolanda was preparing to put a chest tube in a patient that was just brought in. She can't remember the casualty, all she heard was 'chest tube' and she was all in.
The nurses next to her prep but the second she's about to make the incision the trauma door clicks open and she feels tiny hands wrap around her legs.
The abruptness of it almost makes her drop the scalpel. She looks down about to yell at the interruption before she sees who it is.
Okay, guess this is happening.
She starts the incision slowly. "Trin, uh who's supposed to be watching you?" Kim and Dennis are trying and failing to hold back their laughs.
"Mama." Trinity babbles, tugging on her scrubs. Yolanda huffs out her nose and continues the incision. "Wanted to play with Landa."
Dennis snorts.
'Well, uh, Landa's kinda busy right now you-you think you can find Baran?" She looks over at Kim for help. The nurse smiles and is able to pry the little from Yolanda's legs.
"Let's get some popsicles and then I can help with your charting!"
"Yaaayyyy!!!-" The trauma door shuts.
"Not a word." Yolanda growls to Dennis.
Dennis just smiles, mentally filing it away into his blackmail cupboard.
"ohh shit." 🧸
Dana walks over to the break room and sighs. Trinity was supposed to be back a while ago. She lightly knocks. "Santos, you okay in there?"
What answers her is giggling (?) and the sound of torn paper. Curiosity gets the better of her and she opens the door.
What she sees is baby Santos, ripping up some hospital files and squealing with glee. Dana instantly remembers that thing she told her about her age regression and how her shapeshifting sometimes played a part.
Dana just shakes her head. "Now little one how about we get you a snack?" Trinity looks up at her and squeals reaching up.
Dana swiftly picks the baby up, hoisting her on her hip. On the way to the charge nurse desk Baran catches sight of them and her eyes go wide.
"Mama!" Trinity squeals, squirming out of the charge nurse's grip to get to her. Baran immediately grabs her and starts mumbling apologies.
“Sorry her powers sometimes- agh I just-“
Dana stops her. “Oh, it’s perfectly fine.” She ruffles the little’s hair which has her giggling.
“She’s adorable like this.”
Baran kisses Trinity’s head and sighs. “We swore it wouldn’t happen at work.” She mumbles something over her forehead in Farsi and Trinity squeals and nods.
“Now I’m gonna get her some snacks.”
“She’s not leaving your sight I see?”
“You know it!” Baran walks off but Trinity peeks from behind her and waves quietly at Dana.
how do you feel about little!trin or shapeshifter!trin becoming overly infatuated with yolanda all of a sudden??
like we see she normally gravitates towards baran, but what if one day she randomly decides yolanda isn’t half bad to be around so she starts clinging.
like only agrees to nap if yolanda is going to lay with her to fall asleep. won’t eat unless yolanda feeds her. doesn’t want bath unless yolanda comes too. yolanda gets zero breaks from trin. like trin will 100% be in such a clingy mood she’ll cry at the bathroom door if yolanda has to go.
yolanda being caught off guard by being the sudden favorite, but also cherishing it, and being very lovey, and gentle with her. soaking up every moment of clingy trin because it’s rare she gets to be the favorite.
and maybe some baran jealousy? like she tries to step in to help since trin isn’t giving yolanda any breaks whatsoever, but trin refuses and clings harder to yolanda. maybe it hurts her feelings and yolanda comforts her after trin goes to bed?
thank you for reading this request, i hope you like it!! if not feel free to scrap this idea ◡̈
AWW I love this!!
a bit short, but hope you enjoy!
did shapeshifter!trin
In my mind Baran had to take a trip back to her hometown in California leaving Yolanda to be the sole caregiver of Trinity for a week and a half. It goes decently the first few days, mostly them staying out of each other's way.
Trinity's ultimately closer with Baran because in my head her situationship with Yolanda left her feeling shitty, Baran found her on the fourth, Yolanda and her reconciled, but Baran's always been there for Trinity emotionally that Yolanda hadn't gotten to quite yet.
Until one night. Baran had been gone for three days, making Trinity avoiding shapeshifting all together. Yolanda wakes up to Trinity shifted to a toddler and crying loudly. She automatically assumes it was a nightmare and gathers her up.
"I know Baran's better at this, but- I can try."
When Baran comes back Trinity is following Yolanda everywhere. Like a little shadow she's trailing behind her. Baran tries not to question it. Trinity had hugged her tight when she got back before going back to Yolanda.
Yolanda goes out to a surgery thing with Emery one night and Trinity just won't let her leave. She's clawing her dress and whining.
"Baran, can you-"
Baran pries Trinity from Yolanda and she seizes her moment to slip out. "Be back late!"
Trinity sits by the door for about 20 minutes until Baran calls her for dinner. She was moping around about how much she missed Yolanda.
Baran is fighting back the jealously and angrily chops veggies. "Mama? Mad?"
"I'm fine Trin." She grumbles. She hated that this was getting to her. Sure she was gone for a bit, but was that really enough for Trinity to stop caring?
Trinity nervously looks at her. Did she do something wrong? Mama never really got upset at anything. They eat dinner in silence and Baran cleans up and takes Trinity upstairs.
After a quick bath she cuddles into bed with her and a storybook. About halfway through the book Trinity asks, "Landa back soon?"
Baran closes her eyes and takes a breath before shutting the book and getting up. She shuts off the lamp and starts heading out. "I'll be in the guest room. Get some rest."
Trinity holds her bear close as Baran leaves. Did she do something wrong? Why was Baran upset with her?
20 minutes later Yolanda comes in and walks upstairs. She peeks into the bedroom and sees Trinity in bed, asleep and alone and furrows her eyebrows.
She walks over to the guest room and opens the door to Baran on her phone and..
crying?
Yolanda approaches her. "Woah, hey what happened?"
Baran jumps at her voice and looks up. "It's nothing, I'm just being dramatic and too much and-"
"Slow down." Yolanda whispers. She sits on the bed in front of her. "What's up?"
A few more tears fall down Baran's face. "I-The second you left Trinity wouldn't stop complaining. Just talking about how much she missed you and how great it was when I was gone."
She wipes her eyes. "This is pathetic why am I crying? Why did I drag myself to the guest room instead of-"
"It's okay." Yolanda whispers, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"We spent a lot of time together while you were out. Got a lot of bonding in."
"But that doesn't mean she doesn't like you anymore, okay? You know how clingy she is when she's that small, hell she was like that with you when you first found out."
Baran smiles as Yolanda grabs a tissue.
"Let's get some rest with our girl okay? We'll both sleep better."
Yolanda changes into pajamas and cuddles into bed besides Trinity as Baran gets under the cover on the other side.
oh god.. shapeshifter au— dana who keeps stuff for a particularly tiny trin behind the nurses station. whitaker who’s constantly having to pull stethoscopes and other medical supplies out of her mouth. night shift hand offs and baran is panicking because she can’t find trinity anywhere, only for ellis or abbot to show up holding a squealing toddler by the ankle- “did you lose something?”
Wait this is adorable omg
I’d think Dana has like pacifiers, teething toys and other toys stashed in a drawer that if she’s on Trinity duty she’ll give her. Trinity is a runner, so she’ll keep her on her hip while she’s answering the phones and running the nurse’s station.
Trinity obviously gets bored of this after a while and tries to squirm out but Dana has a vice grip on her. She’s taken care of babies before she’s got this.
Then she’ll distract her with that pacifier and pat her back so she falls asleep on her shoulder.

When Dennis has to watch her it’s chaos. She’s always getting into something. He takes his eyes off her for ten seconds and she’s gnawing on an id card or a stethoscope.
Then he has to take it from her and of course she starts SOBBING. Has like 5 seconds to calm her down before Baran hears it and runs over.
He’ll then give her like a plushie and she’s immediately calm. She’s also more of a runner with Dennis because she knows she can slip past him easily.
Yolanda will usually find her first and be like, “Was Dennis watching you.” And Trinity will babble and giggle and she just rolls her eyes fondly.
“Now let’s go find your Mama.”
“Mama!!!”
—
At shift hand offs Baran is tearing apart the ED looking for Trinity. Joy was supposed to be watching her but then she clocked out on time so who knows where the baby was.
Yolanda’s like, “Don’t panic we’ll find her.” And after a few minutes of searching Abbot rounds a corner holding her going like, ‘Y’all forget something?”
And he passes her over. “She was in the break room with Vivi eating gummies.” Baran sighs in relief and they head home.
—
A bonus one I have is if there’s like a Code Pink up in maternity or something going on nearby that leaves the hospital on lockdown or something Baran takes no chances.
She has this wrap so she can wrap Trinity around the front of her so she can always keep an eye on her. Trinity hates this, she just wants to explore but Baran is too paranoid to let her run around when she was little. She’ll usually doze off after Baran hums a lullaby and massages her scalp.
She’ll even steer away from traumas and keep to easier cases so Trinity doesn’t have to be moved.
Other doctors will offer to watch her, but realistically she’ll only pass her over to Yolanda or Dana if she really needs to step away.
When ever you're available I would really like it if you did baby shapeshifter! trinity where trinity turns into a baby and she gets really fussy, so as a result baran has to put trinity in the baby wrap, since trinity just wants that close contact with her mama?
yep!
finally got some free time good lord im fucking exhausted.
lullaby. 🎶
Trinity wails in her playpen. Throwing toys around, banging her rattle against the rails, wanting something.
But Yolanda and Baran can’t quite figure out what it is.
“Hun, come on, shhh,” Yolanda picks up Trinity and tries to hold her close to her chest and she kicks and screams. “Ok-Trin-hey, we don’t- ow!”
“Baran this isn’t working!” Yolanda holds Trinity as far away from her body as she can to stay away from how hard the baby was kicking and screaming. Baran turns from the kitchen and groans.
She was cooking dinner tonight, and Trinity being upset was making this harder than it already was. “My hands are a bit full Yoli, you sure she’s not hungry?”
Yolanda looks at Trinity and attempts signing before the girl nearly kicks her in the nose. “Alright nope.” She puts her back down in the playpen. “Tapping out, I’m not trying to get bruised.”
Trinity whines at being put down and starts shaking her rattle as loud as possible.
Finally Baran relents and puts the spoon down. “Yoli keep an eye on the stove, I’ll try.”
Yolanda heads to the kitchen and Baran kneels in front of the playpen. “Trinity.” She starts gently.
“You want to tell Mama what’s wrong?”
Trinity puts her rattle down and fiddles with her hands before looking up at Baran timidly.
Baran reaches a hand forward and twirls Trinity’s hair around her pinky. “Come on my love, whatever it is, you gotta tell me. Yolanda and I aren’t mind readers.”
Trinity then reaches her arms up and Baran tilts her head before bending down to pick her up.
Trinity coos and buries her face in her chest right above her heart, nuzzling into her warmth. “Oh my love was that all?”
“Just wanted to be close to me?”
She walks over to the coat hanger to grab the wrap to tie around her. “Sweet girl you never need to ask for cuddles.” Trinity babbles something into her chest that’s likely a jumbled up version of all her thoughts.
Yolanda makes the rest of dinner and they take a seat at the dining table.
Trinity had finally calmed down. She was warm and happy with everything she needed.

a bit short i apologize but im doing family stuff all weekend so im not on my laptop except for homework 😭😭
Shapeshifter Trinity who starts babbling in Farsi and Spanish and Tagalog and Baran and Yolanda think it’s the cutest thing ever
this is actually perfect
please correct me on any tagalog and farsi i get wrong im only decently versed in spanish 😭
"Mama! Mama! laruá-ju-juguete!"
Baran squints but her eyes widen in realization as Trinity points to her rattle sitting outside the playpen. "Want your toy hun?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Wow B you're getting better at translating." Baran smiles at Yolanda's words.
"It was your idea to have her try and be trilingual."
Trinity babbles excitedly and gnaws on her rattle. "Mamí!! milk!" She babbles something else unintelligible and shakes her rattle around. Yolanda doesn't need to be told twice and heads towards the fridge to grab a bottle and milk.
When she hands it over to Trinity, the toddler snatches it and coos as she drinks it. After she finishes she hands it over with a giggle. "Mamnoon Mamí." Yolanda tilts her head until Baran giggles proudly from the kitchen.
"You say you're welcome Yoli."
Yolanda laughs and kisses Trinity's head. "You're welcome darling, you're getting good at your languages."
Trinity immediately goes back to playing and babbling excitedly.
