Chapter 2: Patrick and Robin

Patrick voiceover: "Throughout your residency you look at the surgical board probably a million times to see when you have to perform surgery. You always remember the one thing you learned about that board as an intern: A quiet board is never a good sign."

"You okay?" Patrick asked as he and Derek walked toward the surgical board.

"Yeah, I'm just tired because I didn't get that much sleep last night because of Meredith's snoring,"

Patrick laughed a little.

"I didn't sleep much either, I think Robin's trying to turn me into an icicle,"

"Why would you think that? Just because she steals the covers and insists the fan is turned on every night," Derek said teasingly.

"Yeah it kinda gave me that impression," Patrick said rolling his eyes.

"So how are things with you and your brother Nick?" Derek asked changing the subject.

"He still refuses to talk to me or my father because he has this idea that our father chose me over him when that's not the case, Bobbie neglected to tell him she was pregnant after they broke up and he left Port Charles and met my mom and had me,"

"He shouldn't take it out on you because your dad didn't know about him," Derek said as they approached the surgical board.

"I know but Nick doesn't see it that way," Patrick said scanning the board for his name.

"I don't have any surgeries until later this evening," Patrick commented.

"I don't have any until mid-afternoon,"

"It's a quiet board," Patrick stated.

"That's never a good sign," Derek added.

After a few minutes of silence Derek spoke.

"If you don't have any surgeries until this evening you could have more consult time with Robin…If you know what I mean," Derek said mischievously.

Patrick smiled.

"I like the way you think Derek,"

With that they walked away from the surgical board.

Izzie fumbled with the door handle to the on call room until the door flung open. She pushed Nick, the newest doctor on staff against the wall as they kissed.

"Lock the door," Izzie said breathlessly after they pulled away.

Nick reached over and turned the lock on the door and they made their way over to one of the beds. Izzie lay down on the bed and they kissed again, this one lasted longer and was more passionate than the first one. After they pulled away Izzie sat up and started pulling Nick's scrub top off but was stopped when her necklace got caught on it.

"Ow!" Izzie exclaimed when Nick moved slightly in attempt to unhook his scrub top from Izzie's necklace.

"Sorry,"

As they continued trying to untangle themselves they were oblivious to the chaos going on in the E.R.

"Where's Stevens and Dr. Spencer?" Bailey asked yelling over the noise of the E.R.

Bailey looked around but didn't see them so she yelled for the intern that was the closest.

"Karev go find Stevens and Dr. Spencer,"

Alex nodded and thought I know exactly where they are.

He turned a corner and opened the door to the on call room. He laughed at what he saw: Izzie's necklace caught on Nick's scrub top which was half on and half off0

Izzie saw him laughing and shot him an icy glare.

"This is good Izz, really good," Alex said still laughing.

"Alex just shut up and unhook us,"

"Okay come on," Alex said as he started walking out of the room.

Izzie did move she just stood there and when Nick tried to move she held him back.

"Do you want to get unhooked or not?" Alex asked as he turned back.

"Yeah, just not out there," Izzie said pointing towards the hallway.

"Too bad you have to get unhooked out there because we have a patient in the E.R. that might need emergency surgery,"

Izzie rolled her eyes and followed Alex.

"You couldn't make this easy could you?"

"You know that's not in my nature," Alex responded sarcastically.

Izzie didn't say anything she just rolled her eyes again.

Once they got in the main area and Bailey saw what had happened she said "Karev unhook these two then all three of you get your butts down to the E.R. we have a severe head injury from a car crash and he is seeing double vision,"

Alex nodded in understanding.

"Who's doing the surgery?" Nick asked.

"Dr. Drake and Dr. Shepard and they need two interns to assist," Bailey said seeing the look on Nick's face at the fact his brother was the one performing the surgery.

After Bailey walked away Alex unhook Izzie and Nick and they all went to the E.R.

Alex and Izzie exchanged glances once they walked into the E.R. It was in complete chaos. They didn't have much time to think about anything because they heard both of their names being called.

"Dr. Stevens, Dr. Karev we need you over here now, you're both going to scrub in," Patrick yelled from across the room.

Izzie and Alex didn't hesitate, they went to scrub in while they got the patient ready for surgery, but they had no clue what they had gotten themselves into…

"You okay?" Patrick asked as he and Derek walked toward the surgical board.
