The two women decided that taking things on head first would be the best way to deal with what was going to happen. So they both got ready and headed off to the hospital together hoping that it was all just a bad dream that they both had.
Simultaneously they took a deep breath before they entered into the main lobby of the hospital each trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone that might see them. Their efforts were obviously futile because as soon as they entered a nurse walked up to them briskly stopping in front of the two women before speaking. "The chief would like to see you two." With that said she turned and headed in the opposite direction from which she came.
The two women turned to each other obvious dread and apprehension taking over their features at what would surely come of this. They made their way slowly towards the chief office each dreading what would surely happen to them because of the previous day's indiscretions.
As they walked slowly heads slightly bowed they got many looks from the people around them some smiled others pointed while whispering to the person next to them, but many of them actually stopped to give them hugs which they returned stiffly and rather awkwardly looking at each other with scrunched brows until they would remember how many of these they had passed out the previous day. So they sucked it up and passed out the hugs albeit a bit begrudgingly and no where near as warmly as the day previously, but whether or not people noticed they could not say for no one mentioned it.
Finally with a huge sigh they reached the now foreboding door of the chief's office looking at it as thought at any moment they expected it to eat them alive. They stood there for several seconds neither wanting to be the one to have to enter first finally with another huge sigh Cristina rolled her eyes lifting her hand and rapped on it two solid times. Callie just shot the shorter woman a small grateful smile before turning back to look out the door.
Within seconds the door swung open reveal a beautiful blonde that Callie was sure she had never seen before. Callie looked at the woman taking a step back at the upset look she shot the two before turning her back on them and walking swiftly down the hall. The two dark haired woman looked at each other questioning before shrugging it off and entering the now opened door with some gentle prompting from the chief.
Both women quickly took a seat opposite the man behind his desk who sat with a small almost serene smile on his mouth. Demeanor relaxed not at all wound up like it would normally be. They each shot him hesitant smiles in return of the relaxed smile he was giving the two of them. Each subtly glancing at the other from the corner of their eye, they were wondering exactly what the other thought of the situation.
Finally Webber adopted a sterner look on his face looking at the two women smile gone and each tensed up at the moment he looked at them preparing for the worst. "Now Dr. Robbins informed me of the going ons of her floor yesterday involving the two of you," he gave them each a pointed look before continuing. "Now along with her a few others also told me of your behavior after Dr. Bailey initially informed of these actions yesterday." He continued in an even voice. "Although I see no real problem with these actions other than my finding them immensely hilarious for reasons unknown to myself" they each had confused looks on their faces by this point watching as the man's lips twitched slightly at the sides. "This is a hospital but more importantly Dr. Robbins comes highly regarded in her field and I would like to keep her here. So I believe each of you owe her an apology." He stated evenly.
Both seemed to pause at his words not really able to grasp the man's motives. He was simply letting them off with apologizing by now they were looking to each other seemingly for answers clearly confused. "Oh, and I also would like to know for myself exactly what happened yesterday and why of course." He stated almost as an after thought throwing the women for yet another loop.
Callie's mouth opened and closed a few times before nodding firmly prepared to explain the situation fully. "Well sir, Cristina and I," she looked at the small woman before continuing. "We weren't exactly ourselves yesterday."
He looked at each of the women for a few seconds. "Why?" it was a simple enough question, but still how much should they really tell? And besides that, was it better to tell him or him finding out some other way? The hospital had a horrible reputation for gossip.
"Well sir there was a slight mishap." It was Cristina who began to answer and Callie looked over slightly relieved that she would not have to be the one to tell him. He nodded letting her know he was both listening and she should continue so she did. "Yesterday a patient came in DOA, but a bag was brought with him. It contained cookies that were prepackaged and I had been in the pit the whole day so I grabbed them not really thinking much of it. I then ran into Callie and each of us ate them; later we figured that the cookies must have contained hash or cannabis." Her voice was even and devoid of emotions as if she were just speaking the weather to anyone.
He looked at the two lips lightly twitching before he could no longer contain it and laughed lightly. "I hope that has taught you about taking food from patients regardless if they are alive are not." At this Cristina nodded. "Now I will see you another time."
He nodded to the two women who again looked at each other and slowly stood to leave. Before fully making it to the door Callie's curiosity could no longer be contained and she shot Cristina an apologetic look before turning to the man. "Sir," Dr. Webber looked up at his name being called at and to the woman. "Not that I don't appreciate it because I do, but why are you being so calm about this?"
He took a moment looking at her passively before a slow smile reached his lips tilting the corners up ever so slightly and he answered simply. "I was young once too doctors and I understand that this was a mistake; we all do things that are not perfect."
They both simply nodded not sure what to think of at the moment and exited the room.
