So how's everyone liking the fic thus far? I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I do writing it. Here goes a little brother and sister interacting/bonding!
A/N also if there are any beta readers out there who would like to lend me their help I'd appreciate it tons. The story's still a work in progress.
Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's!
"Allison!" I practically ran through Plastics trying avoid my brother at all costs. Every since my arrival two weeks ago to Seattle he'd been bombarding me with questions as to why I was there.
"I have a consult. Can't talk right now Jack. Lunch?" I threw a "sorry" over my shoulder before stepping on to the elevator. I wasn't above lying especially to my relentlessly noisy brother. I knew I'd have to explain myself eventually, but I wasn't ready and frankly neither was he.
Before the doors could close completely a rather aggravated and flustered resident entered. "Dr. Edwards."
"Dr. Harper. Good morning." Stephanie looked up from the array of charts she held.
I surveyed the woman in front of me. The woman my brother had so heedlessly abandoned at his wife's wedding. I felt for her, really felt for her. I knew exactly what it was like to have your heart ripped out and butchered. Yet that didn't compare to what my brother had did, publicly humiliating this woman in front of her friends and colleagues; not one of his finest moments in life if you ask me. "You know for what it's worth. I think my brother is a complete asshole for how he ended things between you two."
Shocked propelled from Steph's face. Turning she stares at me skeptically her mouth slightly open. "With all due respect Dr. Harper. Its water under the bridge. And honestly you're the last person I should be talking about this with."
My laugh could be heard I'm sure two floors up. "I'm not going to fire you or anything, if you choose to speak ill about my brother to me. I don't have that power and trust me I've shared a few choice words with him after I heard about what happened. I'd been looking forward to meeting you. Especially after my mother's all to distinct description of you." She altered her gaze momentarily, a deep flush rising from her neck. "Listen I wanted to let you know it wasn't right what he did. I know that, you know that. I didn't agree with it at all. More importantly I don't want that to effect our relationship. You're a good doctor Edwards and from what I can an even better friend. Don't let my overly narcissistic brother ruin you."
"Narcissistic?" Her smile beamed brighter then I'd ever seen.
"Ok self-loving." I rolled my eyes and held up imaginary quotations. "I mean the guy doesn't eat leftovers. You can't get more high and mighty then that." The elevators doors ding announcing my stop. Giving her one of my trademark winks I side step out of the elevator. "You have a wonderful day Dr. Edwards and I look forward to working with you." With that the doors close to a brighter and cheesing Stephanie. Ok, so I admit I was a bit hard on my brother but he kind of left his girlfriend/date at a wedding and ran off with the bride, he really didn't have much room to scrutinize.
I head for the my office hell bent on getting my things so I could leave the hospital before my brother had time to put a man hunt out for me. Like I said the guy was relentless, I'd have to see him at home eventually. Seeing as I'd arrived at Seattle on such short notice; I still didn't have a place to stay and I'd been crashing at my brother's. Glancing at my Varonchan and Constantine vintage watch given to me by my grandfather once I'd graduated med school; I figure I had about ten minutes before Jackson realized I was completely full of it and came barreling through my office doors. I took a sharp left and didn't see nor expect to run full force into an nearly out of breathe resident. The impact was forceful and I had to brace my self on the nearest gurney to stop from toppling over.
"Ugh! Ow ow ow ow!" Regaining my heart rate back to normal I peer over to the clearly in pain resident laying on the floor. Her blaring pager inches away from her.
"Maybe you shouldn't be running through the halls like roadrunner. At least he beeps to let you know to clear out."
Rolling over the resident eyes me evilly. Getting up and clutching her back to apply pressure to the sore muscle she adjusts her wrinkled blue scrub top. "Maybe you should get out of the way when someone's being paged 911. This is a hospital."
I was surprised at the sheer boldness of this woman. Sure I wasn't sporting my lab coat or scrubs but even in my civilian clothes people didn't tend to address me with such attitude and dismissal. The continuous ringing of her pager broke our stare down. Sighing I walk over and pick up her pager handing it to her but not before noting just how attractive the mouthy and beautiful blonde really was. Annoyance poured from her gaze and to my out stretched hand, her eyes flickering momentarily to my badge I perched along my belt loop.
"Dr. Harr… Harper." A second passes before her eyes damn near bulge from their sockets. If I hadn't just had the breathe knocked from me I would've laughed. "Dr. Harper as in new Head of Ophthalmology, as in relation to Dr. Avery, as in relation to Harper Avery?"
"Yes new Head of Ophthalmology. As for Jackson I claim him sparingly." I cant help but smile at her clearly stammered appearance. "You know I could probably page Ortho and have Dr. Torres come and remove your foot from your ass." I smile at my own candor, this resident was sweating bricks.
"I didn't know. You weren't wearing…. I mean I'm sorry." The chiming of her pager ended her stuttered apology.
"Leah let's go!" Dr. Wilson who I knew to be Alex Karev girlfriend ran by her bucking it for the stairs.
Grinning I adjust myself relishing in the pure discomfort of this resident. "You should probably go Leah. Looks like there's an emergency you need to tend to; after all this is a hospital." She gives me a weak smile before heading once again in a full out sprint to the stairs. I didn't know who this Leah woman was but I had every intention on finding out as soon as possible.
So she's finally met Leah Murphy. Kind of rude encounter don't you think? Was she flirting? Did it seem that way to you guys? Let me know what you guys think. RR please
