Hi! Guess who's back? Well, I won't be able to post regularly, I can say that now, but, it'll come in time. New Story. New Original Character story. Wow. Now, I must tell you, you've met this lady before, a couple of times in passing. That being said, this story will exist in the realm of SHLEB, now known as Place for Us. So, everything that had happened, and hadn't happened will for the most part coincide. YAY! MORE MARK AND LEXIE! Wow, that was supposed to be a secret. But, This character's name is Dianna, and guess who she's portrayed by? I'll give you one guess. Yep, Dianna Agron. I know, I'm obsessed. There will be a link in my profile to her outfits, which will be added along with their chapters. I've made way too many, but who knows? So, here goes! I hope you love it!
. . .
She sat in the chair against the big, glass, office, drumming her pale pink nails on her Michael Kors phone case, waiting for it to vibrate.
"Are you Doctor Phelan?" asked the man who had just exited the office. He looked up from his phone and held a hand out.
"I am. And you must be Doctor Hunt." she smiled, gratefully taking his hand.
"It's very nice to meet you, please, step into my office." the pair entered the office and Dianna shoved her phone into her Tory Burch tote. Her crisis would have to wait. She sat in a chair identical to the one in the waiting room, but this one stood in the inside of the office, not outside.
"Doctor Phelan, have we met before?"
"No, I don't think so. I've never been to Seattle before. I thought it would be a nice change of pace. I guess I just have one of those faces." she smiled, smoothing down her gray jeans.
"Must be. You look very familiar to me. But, lets get down to business. You're here for the Pediatric Fellowship?"
"Yes sir. I did my residency at John Hopkins, and, as I said, I wanted a change of pace." she pulled her resume out of the tote and handed it to the man. He skimmed over it, nodding slightly every few seconds. After about three minutes of examining, he cleared his throat.
"You went to Columbia?"
"I did."
"We have a few employees who went there, also a few who worked at Hopkins. You seem to be qualified for the job, and you have glowing recommendations, so, I'm offering you the job."
"Right here?"
"Right Now." he said, retrieving a few forms from his desk. He handed them to Dianna, "Take these to Patricia, she's right next door, and once you fill them out she'll send them over to HR and take your scrub order, and we'll embroider your lab coat, get you an ID badge and a cubby in the Attendings Lounge, and you'll be all set to start work on Monday."
"Wow! That sounds amazing, Doctor Hunt. Thank you so much for this opportunity."
"It's my pleasure. I can tell you'll do a great job at this hospital."
"Hey," she said, turning back from the doorway, "Do you mind if I look around, meet the doctors in charge and such?"
"That sounds like a great plan, actually, my meeting was just cancelled, and i've got some time to kill. You need a tour guide?"
"Of course, Doctor Hunt. Let me just go talk to Patricia and do that stuff in HR."
"And we'll meet back here in an hour?"
"Perfect, Doctor Hunt."
"Owen, please."
"Ok, then. It's Dianna." she smiled closing the door behind her. At least she had one person on her side. Because there was a long day ahead of her. More Like a long week. Actually, she had a long life ahead of her, and it had just begun.
. . . . . . . . .
"Wow!" Owen laughed, "You're back already! With twenty minutes to spare!"
"Well, you can thank Patricia. While we were doing the paperwork she called down to HR and they set me up with my lab coat and ID and cubby, so all I had to do was get my picture."
"She's great, isn't she." he said.
"She really is." Dianna started, "So, how about that tour?"
"Sounds awesome, can I take your coat?" he asked, reaching out. She untied the brown belt and let the wool fall off her shoulders, revealing a green blouse, with tiers of ruffles. He took the coat, placing it on the rack and led her out of the office.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"Oh, Doctor Robbins! I have you're new fellow here." said Hunt, and Arizona spun around.
"Di?" she asked, walking towards the woman.
"Ree!" she exclaimed, hugging the other surgeon tightly.
"Doctor Phelan, you know Doctor Robbins?" asked Owen.
"Phelan?" asked Arizona quietly, grabbing Dianna's wrist.
"Uh, it's my middle name." she whispered, looking at the other woman.
"Why?" she asked, searching the younger woman's eyes.
"I'll explain. Soon. I promise."
"Doctor Robbins is the head of Pediatric surgery at Seattle Grace."
"Oh my God, that's amazing." she said, smiling largely at the other woman. Just then, Alex came over, wondering about the squealing and hugging.
"Di, this is Alex Karev, he's the other Peds attending." Dianna held out a hand and Alex shook it tightly, and she saw his eyes roaming her body. She was used to it. Dianna had always be that girl who was obviously pretty. After she got her braces off, got contacts, and found the right bra, she'd been called perfect. Always perfect. She didn't mind. She wasn't a bobblehead blonde, she wasn't some sort of slut either. She was smart, kind and generous. She cared about other people, put her best into patient care. Arizona cleared her throat, and Alex's eyes snapped to her face, dropping her hand. He smiled.
"I'm Alex Karev. If you need anything, just tell me, okay?"
"Kay." smiled Dianna as his eyes returned to her body.
"Alex, will you push back my 11:00? I've decided to accompany Chief Hunt and Dianna on their tour." Arizona said, wrapping an arm around Di's shoulder.
"Okay, you've gotta meet Meredith and Derek, Jackson and April, Cristina, and Mark and Callie. Then, we can swing by day care and you can meet Sophia."
"Sophia?"
"She's my little girl. She's precious. She looks like Callie, but she has a little bit of Mark in her."
"You didn't want kids, Ree."
"Yeah, but Callie did. I love Callie so much, that I couldn't imagine life without her. And Sof's perfect."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"Okay, so you said Meredith and Derek?"
"Oh, wait, I see Callie and Mark! Sloan, Calliope?!" she yelled, and the two whipped their heads to face the three doctors.
"Sloan?" asked Dianna quietly.
"He's heart broken, not on the top of his game, so just watch your ass. Otherwise, he's harmless."
"Watch my ass? What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
"Hide your ass. Pull down your shirt, lean against something."
"Hey, babe." said Callie, leaning to kiss Arizona on the cheek.
"This is Dianna. She's my new peds fellow."
"Does Dianna have a last name?" asked Mark, trying to inspect her body.
"Sloan, actually."
"Wow, that's crazy." Callie smiled.
"Arizona!" stressed Dianna.
"Oh, sorry. Phelan. Doctor Phelan." said Arizona, looking at Dianna apologetically.
"Ok, Doctor Phelan, how do you know Arizona?" asked Callie,
"I was actually her patient when I was a teenager. She's the reason I became a surgeon."
"So, what? Heart problems, brain tumor, car crash, fire?" asked Mark
"Uh, hey, we're gonna go see Sofia," dodged Arizona, "You wanna come with?" Dianna smiled Gratefully.
"We actually have a surgery, but give her a kiss for me, okay?" said Callie, kissing her wife on the cheek.
"Deal." Arizona said, waving slightly to Mark, and he flashed her an award winning smile. "Bye, Mark." she sighed, and gestured for Dianna to walk in front of her.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"Hey, thanks for saving me back there." said Dianna, glancing at all the little kids in the daycare center.
"It's no problem. But, Dianna, you don't have anything to worry about here, no one will judge you."
"I don't want to be that girl, I don't wanna be the girl who's parents beat her. I don't want to be the girl who had to sneak in the ambulance bay after walking ten miles to the hospital, go in the supply closet, find the pager you hid for me, page you and have you come stich me up in the dark."
"You don't have anything to be ashamed about, it wasn't your fault."
"It wasn't my fault that I stabbed my father? That I almost killed him?"
"It was self defense!"
"Do you think that matters to all these people who grew up with surgeons for parents? There is an Avery here. A Grey. And a million other trust fund babies!"
"Derek Shepherd, the best neurosurgeon in the nation, his dad owned a convenience store. Karev? He raised his two younger siblings after his dad walked out and his mom went insane. Jo Wilson, one of the greatest interns i've seen in a long time? She lived in the back of her car. And Me? My dad was in the Marine Corps, and I was an army brat. But I sure as hell had to work for where I am now. My life is no where close to easy, I only have one leg for God's sake! And yeah, you almost killed your father. BUt you saved your self. You saved a life. And that's what surgeons do, we save lives." silence. "So, now you want to tell me why you've been giving people crap?" Dianna's phone rang.
"Don't answer that! Tell me what's going on!"
"I have to answer it. But then i'll tell you."
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
"So?" said Arizona, signaling for Sofia to go play with her friends. "Are you gonna tell me why you're going by Phelan, not Sloan?"
"That was my Private Investigator." said Dianna, a look of confusion dawning on Arizona. "I didn't hire him to follow anyone, I hired him to look into my father. I had a suspicion. I thought my parents had another kid. So when I saw the picture in the medical journal, I started thinking. I wondered If I had someone who knew about me. I wondered who my sibling was, what he was doing. So, when my mom died, I used my inheritance to hire a PI. He's been looking. And he just called to tell me that my suspicion was right."
"I don't, I don't get it?"
"He just called to tell me that Mark Sloan is my brother."
. . .
Ok. there's the first chapter. Just the foundation. This story's for fun, for me to get all my ideas out, but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to what they'd like to happen, I'd be happy to hear them. But here comes the hard part. For any story to be good, there must be some sort of romantic storyline. As I figure most of you know, Lexie's gonna come back, and for those who read SHLEB which is now called Place for Us, you know what'll happen. But what you don't know is how much Mark struggled when Lexie was in New York. So, anyways, Dianna needs a love interest. I'll take any suggestions, but really who i'm thinking is either Alex, or Owen. God, y'all don't even know how hard it is for me to say that. While I didn't ship Crowen, they were always just kind of a natural endgame for me. And If Cristina is gone, well, let's just say if MArk had survived the crash and Lexie hadn't, if some fake author went and set him up with a figment of her imagination, I'd probably be pretty pissed off to say the least. Now, NO OFFENSE to anyone. I am trying to compromise with y'all here. Alex and Jo, well, Jo's the intern I hate the least. But, Alex and Izzie always meant something to me. Not a big something, but more than nothing. Jolex, it isn't really on my radar. So, we will vote. Comment your pick, or another suggestion, and whoever wins will go in my Selected Character by next chapter. If I have offended anyone, PM me and I will formally apologize next chapter. I'm very sorry, but it needs to be done. Also, if anyone has questions, comments, or concerns, either PM me or review.
