Maturity
As Richard Webber stood on the balcony looking down at the hospital where he had spent most of his life as an intern and as chief of surgery he was hit with a wave of nostalgia. He didn't think he could leave this all behind especially when he had nothing to look forward to when he left; his wife had left him for some other guy one that didn't work ungodly hours but the standard 9-5 and she had taken the house, which he had paid for. In rare moments he would dream about kicking her and her younger toy-boy out of the house and then see what she would do, but by God he still loved her and for that reason his house had become a hotel and his home the hospital. So in totally he was now not only out of a wife, a job but also a home. Looking down to the floor again he wondered whether in 10-20 years the new chief of surgery would be standing here and thinking on the same thing, he hoped not. He hoped that he had taught his children; interns, residents and attendings that surgery that saving lives should not be their sole focus in life, that being a person was. He sighed and rubbed his now throbbing temple as he watched Yang and Burke, the two interns he felt were most at risk of forgetting their lives outside the hospital.

"Burke, Burke" Christina called as she followed him over to the desk
He picked up one of the files opened it and began to read, his eyes were fixed to the writing upon it and not on her "yes Yang"
She stood moving in closer to him and then glanced around to ensure that nobody was listening in on the conversation, once she was satisfied she hissed in a loud whisper in his ear "So seriously, we're going do this here"
He closed the file slowly and deliberate knowing that patience wasn't her strong suit before finally looking up at her "do what"
Her body stiffened with frustration "You're letting frickin O'Malley in on surgery instead of me" she leaned closer "your fiancé"
He smiled in a way that he also knew irritated her, it was a nice smileand nice to Christina meant calculated and cool and unaffected. The last of which was the key to her frustration because it told her under no circumstances would he budge. "I thought we weren't going to mention that in the hospital" he smirked "isn't that what you wanted"
"No" she shook her head "yes! Damn it Burke you're doing a cardiopulmonary bypass and by the power of Seattle state everything's that's yours is half mine"
"We're not married yet, and secondly the cardiopulmonary bypass isn't mine it's the patient's"
She relaxed her stance knowing that mentioning marriage would give her some brownie points but as the damn smile remained a fixed feature on his face she became highly annoyed- not that it showed to anyone but him "Oh that just a technicality, seriously come on I'm a good surgeon, I'm a great surgeon and damn it I deserve the surgery"
"Really, why"
Christina faltered "because I'm well, I, didn't you just hear what I just said"
Burke finally dropped the smile and his face became stern and serious "In the hospital I think it's better if we maintain an intern-attending relationship, I think they boyfriend- girlfriend thing led to a lot of complication. And besides all your fellow interns are great surgeons who deserve an equal opportunity to partake in my surgery"
Christina narrowed her eyes "complication huh, oh ok well see how well you do" she whispers "without any sexy striptease in the hospital huh." She unclips her pager of her trousers and reads the incoming message before walking away.
Burke stands and watches her for a while before he walks off in the opposite direction.
------
At the top Webber looked down and shook his head as he watches another of his intern-attending relationships.
------
Derek Shepherd walked up towards his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her
"Hey" he smiles down at her as she giggles and pushes him away
"Derek not at the hospital, I want to maintain a professional relationship" she looks at him "Derek I'm serious this is me trying to be responsible and mature and you're not helping" he pouts "Derek"
"Fine" he stands up straight "you wanna work with me today"
"No" she begins to walk away
"No" he echoes as he follows her "why"
"Because you'll break me"
He smiles like a little children "I can break you; I didn't know you could be broken"
"Derek" she sighs his name in a manner in which he adored "please be mature. Because seriously I can't work with you I know we'll end up doing something that we're not suppose to be doing and somehow someone will find out, and then my reputation as a dirty mistress will return"
He walks around her to whisper in her ear "ah, so this is about your reputation"
She turns and stares at him as she raises her voice "No this is about our reputation as a mature responsible couple, and damn it you will not MCruin it do you hear me Mcdreamy"
He grins at her "Yes Dr. Grey"
"Good" she watches him for a while before turning and walking away "stop staring" she shouts as she continues to walk
"How'd you know I was starring" she turns around so she's walking backwards
"I know you" she turns back around and begins walking

Dr. Webber stood at the top starring for a further hour and had witnessed another couple of interaction now of which were particular related to their work and all of which could end us as potentially hazard to the working environment. After Grey and Shepherd, he then saw O'Malley and Torez having a particular dramatic scene in the middle of the floor which left O'Malley kneeling on the floor collecting a whole bunch of papers. Then came his personal favourites Karev, Montgomery, Stevens and Sloan who were all so wrapped up in their personal traumas that none of them could see the disaster waiting to happen. Fortunately for them before he stepped down from Chief he would ensure that all these personal problems would be fixed, or so help him God he may just find himself staying on for a further 5 years until the maturity level of this hospital grew.

"Quiet down everyone" said Webber as he watched the ruckus his announcement had made to his staff "I said quiet down, now." He slammed both palms flat on his table making all the occupants jump "sit." They all quickly shuffled into a seat if one was available. "Now it is my duty to ask any of you if you feel particularly opposed to this idea" he paused as everyone's hand went up "but I don't really care what you think" their hands dropped "I have been watching you all over the past 2 hours and do you know what I've seen" he paused for dramatic effect waiting to see if anyone was stupid enough to answer "I'll tell you what I've seen shall I, I've seen exactly how screwed up the lot of you lot are"
"Hey Chief don't you think your exaggerating a little" asked Derek
"Yeah, I mean sure we have some problem but it hasn't interfered with out work" Addision in put. "Hang on did we just agree" she turned to he ex-husband in shock
He tilted his head "I think we just did" and then turned to mouth to Meridith "see I can be mature"
Webber pinched the bridge of his nose "before I leave the hospital I need to be sure that you guys can manage without me, because at the rate you're going the board isn't going to approve any of you as Chief."
From the back of the room where he stood George put up his hand
"Dude you don't have to put up you hand" Alex muttered as he shook his head in disbelief
"Hey who asked you Karev"
"Look I was just sayin'"
"Quiet" yelled Webber "this is it! You guys will be having therapy, all of you, and until the new psychologist gives you the OK, you will all be on probation, until they say that you are ok you will all stay in therapy! Do you understand" a murmur of yes sounded "now get back to work"

DEVELOPMENT
(VOICE OVER)
A great psychologist once said that around the age of 6-12 a child is still very much Egocentric (unable to take another's view point) in their thinking and that as a child grows and develops into adulthood they begin to lose such self-centred thinking to one that is highly altruistic. While we all like to believe that we are all truly grown and no longer bare resemblance to our childhood counterparts the fact remains that we are in fact still the same chubby, self-centred individuals that we once were. The only difference is that now we hide it better or we like to think that we hide it better because at the end of the day no one likes to think that they haven't changed.

"Is this really you when you were little George" Callie asked as she picked up a framed photo
George moved into view so that he could see what she was holding "and you can put that back"
She smiled "I think it's cute, I think you're cute"
He frowned "no it's not cute, I'm not cute" at her continued stare "look I'm a grown man and that picture is of a child that of which I know longer am"
She slowly puts the photo back "geesh no need to get upset, I was just looking"
He moves and takes all the frames of the mantel "we should probable get rid of these"
"George their just photos"
"Yes but it's about what they represent"
"Which is?"
He shakes his head "see you just don't get me" he leaves the room
"Callie" nods Izzie as she passes the room
"Izzie"
Izzie points down the corridor "so was that George"
"Yeah I was looking at his photos, his so cute in them"
"Oh no, you didn't not the photos"
Caille finally turns to look at her "All I did was look at them, and he went on about what they represented"
"You said you understand right"
"No" she moves in closer to Izzie and whispered "why what do they represent"
Izzie ignores her and looks down the hall "Oh poor George he must be going through hell right now" she turns back to Callie "you just don't get him do you" she walks down the hall to no doubt find George, leaving Caille.
