Hola! Como Esta?
Kinda AU.
I only own my mind.
Enjoy.
.
I close the door of the white 2010 Toyota Corolla. "Thank you, sir." I state with a tight smile.
"No problem, Lady." The Uber driver coughs out. His raspy voice indicates he's a heavy smoker. That and the 8 cigarettes he's lit since we've left the airport.
I slowly turn looking up to the large hospital in front of me. I look up to the big sign reading, Seattle Grace Mercy West. Well.. here goes nothing. Picking up my three large duffle bags, I sling two on each shoulder and carry the last one in my left hand. I walk through the large glass doors up to the front desk.
"Hello, I have an appointment with Doctor Richard Webber." I say standing straight.
"Oh.. um yeah.. I can… Right .. I'll page him" The red headed nurse says nervously looking me up and down.
"Thank you." I say looking around, assessing my surroundings. By the end of the week I'll know the ends and outs of this place. Every entry, every exit. I'll also need to assess the roof as well-
"Captain Robbins! Its nice to meet you! I'm Doctor Richard Webber, Chief of Surgery here at Seattle Grace Mercy West." He says quickly, shaking my hand.
"Good afternoon sir." I pull my hand back with a nod.
"Well, let's head up to my office to discuss business shall we?"
"Of course, Dr. Webber." I agree following him.
We start to walk up the set of stairs. At the top of the stairs we make a right and continue down the large hallway. We stop at the first door on our right, I presume is his office. Opening the door he immediately offers me a seat in front of his desk. I lay my three bags down beside me and sit in the cushioned chair. I look passed him to see the large window directly behind him, a horrible placement. Sitting in front of a large window like that on base would be a huge mistake. but then again this isn't the base- 'You aren't on base, Arizona.' I think to myself to myself.
"That's quite the drawl you have there Captain, where are you from again?"
"I was born in Charleston, South Carolina." I disclose hesitantly.
"Alright well, I am so pleased to have you here Captain, Or would you prefer Doctor?" He says with a polite smile.
"Whichever is fine, sir." I state as I continue to look beyond him.
"Well, Doctor Robbins, Thank you for accepting my offer. You'll be a great asset to this team."
"Of course sir."
"Now I know you are probably terribly tired, so I will let you get to the hotel and settle in, then first thing tomorrow morning I'll show you to your new Kingdom. " He says standing and taking my hand once again.
"Yes sir. What did you say the hotel was called again?"
.
The yellow taxi pulls up to the hotel. I get out, wrapping my bags around me as I did before and step in to the luxurious hotel.
"Hello, Welcome to Hotel 1000, name?" The elderly woman says curtly.
"Robbins."
"Ah yes The Grand Luxe Parlor Suite! Great choice! Here are your key cards, would you like us to bring your bags up to you?" The grey haired women asks.
"No thank you. Have a good day." I answer, picking up my bags per usual.
Walking in to the luxury suite, I am immediately impressed. This is a big adjustment but any good Marine can assimilate quickly and diligently. And thats just what I'll do. Sitting down my three large bags in the sitting area I open the double doors leading to the sleeping area. I plop down on the bed and lay back. God this feels so good. I pull out my phone and set an alarm for 2 hours from now. 'I'll take a quick nap then unpack and eat' I whisper to myself.
Buzz-
Upon hearing my loud alarm, I shoot up from the comfortable bed, accessing the room. 'Take a breath Arizona, you're fine.' I think laying back down on the bed, closing my eyes one last time.
.
"Dr. Robbins! It's great to see you again. I'm going to take you up to see the Pediatrics department then I'll have someone else step in to show you the rest of the place." Dr. Webber declares leading me to the elevator. "Alright here we are at your new domain." He says taking me to the nurses station. There's eyes on me everywhere. You don't have to be a Marine to see it, to feel it.
"Ladies! This is Doctor Arizona Robbins, The new Chief of Pediatrics!" The seasoned man states proudly. The four nurses at the desk look up at me with a cautious smile and a hello.
"It will be a pleasure to work with you all." I say through tight lips.
After the Chief takes me through every door in this department, I have found the quickest exits and safest spots on this floor.
"Alright, I have paged someone to come show you the rest of the hospital, they should be here momentarily. After you are done I have a consult for you at 3."
"Yes sir."
"Uh Dr. Robbins, you don't have to call me sir. Dr. Webber or Richard is just fine." He says witch a chuckle.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was raised to respect my elders. To be a 'yes/no sir/ma'am' type of woman." I say with an extra drawl of my accent.
"Oh uh alright. Well, I'll see you at 3 then" He states nervously.
As he turns I lean slightly against the nurses desk. I close my eyes only to pop them open again to hear a whisper coming from my left.
"I heard she's the biggest bitch in the world, but apparently she's a great surgeon, that's why Webber hired her." One very squeaky voice says.
"Well I don't care how good she is, we don't need anymore assholes here. They got rid of Hahn, they'll have to do it to her too." An equally squeaky voice says.
"Haha! we'll just hand her to Torres! She's good at running them away!"
Their words don't effect me much, being a Captain, you get used to it. I wonder who this Torres is though-
"Hi Dr. Robbins, correct?' I turn to see a women shorter than me.
"Yes, Hello Dr.-
"April Kepner!" She says with a bright smile.
"Kepner" I repeat.
"Uh well.. I'll show you around, Lets roll!"
.
"And this is the Cafeteria and the last stop on our tour, when did you say your consult was?" Dr. Kepner asks turning to me.
"3"
"Ah well that gives us plenty of time to get something to eat and you can ask me anything you'd like!"
We sit down in one of the corners of the cafeteria at a small table. I open my can and take a bite of the sweet diced pineapples.
"So, any questions I can answer?" The redhead challenges taking a bite out of her sandwich.
"I don't believe so. You were very helpful."
C
"Hey asshole! give me my apple back!" I roll my eyes at my man whore of a best friend as we flop down in the cafeteria chairs.
"What apple, Cal?" he says smugly, taking a bite out of my apple. "Hey did you see the new Peds Chief?"
"No I didn't, why?" I ask with a raise of my eyebrow.
"She's hot, but I heard she's a class A bitch."
"And where did you hear that? the nurses that do everything other than their jobs?" I retort annoyed.
"Hey they do their jobs! Sometimes. Whatever. Look, She's a Captain." Mark finishes like he just solved the biggest mystery.
"And what the hell does that have to do with her being a- Is that her?" I say looking over to my right to the back of the cafeteria.
"Yeah! that's her! Hot right? I'll have her in my bed by the end of the night"
.
I look up from my empty can to meet the most beautiful chocolate orbs I've ever seen. Beautiful .. but I'm here to do one thing and one thing only. A good Marine doesn't sway from his or her mission.
Beep Beep Beep
"Crap, 911. Do you think you'll be okay?" April stands looking down at her black pager.
"Of course. I've memorized the whole hospital already." I say with a straight face.
"Oh do you have photographic memory? That's cool!-
"I was joking." I say raising my eyebrows.
"Well.. then you aren't very good at jokes" She says quickly with a smile. "Hey if you need anything just page me- 473" Kepner tells me backing up.
C
"Well there's your chance, April just left" I giggle to Mark.
"Oh watch and learn Cal." Mark says getting up and walking up to the beautiful woman.
.
"Hi.. I'm Mark Sloan. Chief of Plastics." A man with salt and pepper hair says as he sits in front of me. "You're Dr. Robbins, new Peds Chief right?"
"Yes" I say curtly.
"Oh well.. I was wondering if you'd like to get a drink tonight, There's this great bar across the street all of the surgeons go to, we call it Joes but-
"No, thank you" I finish quickly.
"O.. Okay. Bar scene not your thing, We could go out to dinner-
"No sir, You're not my "thing" Have a good day. " I state without reserve as I get up walking towards the staircase.
C
"He shoots, he misses horribly! It's all over! It's all over!" I say laughing as Mark walks back over with his tail between his legs.
"Whatever. Like I said, Bitch"
.
"Oh Hi! Dr. Robbins, We're just waiting on Dr. Torres to get here- You two will be assigned to this case." Dr. Webber says with a short smile. Torres that's the name those nurses-
"Torres! Hey! Dr. Robbins this is Dr. Callie Torres, Our Chief of Ortho" I turn to see the beautiful chocolate orbs holder.
"Ma'am." I say shaking her soft but rugged hand.
"Okay Ladies, I have a Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip for you two. Now, The patient's name is Max Hester, he's only 1 year old. Him and his parents will be here tomorrow morning, they're flying in from Mayo so I'll need you two to study up and find the best solution.
"Yes sir." I stand straightly, opening the door for Dr. Torres.
"Thank you" Callie says smiling sweetly at me.
'A good Marine doesn't sway from his or her mission'
