AMBER

My name is Amber Evans. I've just been hired as the Head of Orthopedic Surgery at Grey+Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle, Washington. I just moved from Denver where I did my residency. I have a daughter named Hannah that came with me. She just turned two years old and her father and I were acquaintances at our small town High School but ended up doing our residency together. After a night of celebrating a particularly tough surgery, we ended up in an alleyway, against a dumpster. I'll probably never tell my daughter that, unless I really want to gross her out. Luckily, he didn't freak out and we decided to remain friends and do this together. Cole is a great guy and an amazing father. He was happy for me with this job offer. His wife-to-be adores Hannah as well. We decided while she's still young, we can take months, except during the summer when they will keep her for almost three months since Allie is a school teacher and has the summers off.

In my contract, I was able to negotiate cost of travel for my daughter. I was surprised they agreed but I'm a great surgeon and it was clear that they really wanted me. Chief of Surgery Miranda Bailey explained their last Head of Ortho moved to New York a few years ago and they were just substituting Residents and Fellows from different Hospitals. Today is my first day and I'm pumped.

I've dropped Hannah off at the on-site daycare and headed down to Chief Bailey's Office. She asked me to meet her there to sign the last of my contract and then accompany her to a welcome party in my honor. I tried to tell her it wasn't necessary, but she insisted that she wanted me to meet the other head of departments. It's not that I didn't want to make friends, but I just wanted to get settled in to a routine.

Clapping her hands loudly, Chief Bailey addressed the room. "Quiet Down, Everyone. Thank you all for making time in your busy schedules to be here. I would like you all to meet our newly appointed Head of Orthopedic Surgery, Dr. – "

In the back of the room, I heard a door open and close. Before I could look up, I heard a voice I didn't think I'd ever hear again.

"AMBER?"

Oh FUCK.

"Amber Evans." Bailey finished, looking up at the outburst. "Karev? Do you have something to say?"

I looked up to see the man who had the outburst and our eyes locked. His eyes were searching mine and I knew that look. I've known that look my entire life. He's trying to figure out if I'm hurt or if I need something. I stared back at him with absolutely no emotion. I didn't even think to check if he was still here. I knew he did his internship in Seattle and had met his now ex-wife here but he had plans to move on to bigger and better things. I hadn't seen him in almost ten years.

Everyone in the room was looking from Alex to me. I decided to break the ice first. "Alexander. Nice to see you, Big Brother."

The entire room silenced and a few people had their mouths open in surprise. I really hadn't done any research on my fellow surgeons, which was my fault. This wasn't going to be easy. The last time I saw him was at the trial for my brother who attempted to murder me while in a raging bipolar episode. He showed up, he committed Aaron, sent my mother to rehab and asked if I was okay before he split. He left a card on the front door of the house. I've kept it after all these years.

Amber,
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Aaron is sick, he always has been, like mom. You need to get out of this town and stay away. Make something of yourself. I believe in you.
I've left for Seattle. I'm sorry, but with everything going on in my life, I can't be apart of this family anymore. I have to worry about me, my life, my career.
I won't ever stop loving you, little sister. I hope you can understand. I've deposited some money into your account at the bank. Get a new phone, get a new number and get out of here. It's the only way you'll have a normal life.
I love you, kiddo.
Your Big Brother,
Alex

"You went to med school?" he asked, still looking dumbfounded that I was here. Two women were on his sides, both having a protective arm around him.

"Welcome to Grey+Sloan, Dr. Evans...Everyone, get back to your cases." It was clear that Bailey was trying to diffuse the situation. Everyone started piling out of the room but the two women on my brother's side didn't leave and neither did Baily. I heard Alex tell them it was okay and to go on. Bailey took the cue as well and the next thing I knew it was just the two of us, about ten feet apart, staring at each other.

"You're going by Dad's Name?" Another question escaped his mouth. I couldn't believe after all this time those are the first two questions out of his mouth. How about, how have I been? Well, I guess I shouldn't be too upset, I'm sure this is a serious shock to him. This has clearly been his home for a while and here I am, reminding him of all the bad times.

Sighing and rolling my eyes, I figured it was easier to just get this out of the way. "Yes, I went to Med School and yes, I use Dad's Name. Nana and Papa were always good to me and I had no good role models with the last name of 'Karev'. I've been fine, by the way. I've made something of my life, I'm happy and I'm excited to work here. If you have an issue with that, I'm sorry. I knew you did your internship in Seattle but Grey+Sloan didn't sound familiar. I honestly didn't think you'd stay in the same city and I didn't really have any inkling or care to check on if you were still around here. I haven't thought of you in years, so I hope we can exist at the same hospital with no issues. I'm glad you're doing well."

"Amber, I – "he started but I held up a hand.

"I understand, Alex. No need to rehash old wounds. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd really like to get started on my first day."

With that, I walked past him and out the doors of the conference room. Swinging a left, I didn't even notice the three women who last left the room waiting outside, looking curious and worried. It was clear that Alex had a support system here. I have no idea what this is going to do to my new job. I just need to go and find work.

I hope you all enjoyed! This is going to be a multi-part story, bring in a lot of the staff from Grey+Sloan, I hope you'll stick around!
