"So wasn't that just the most amazing thing you've ever seen?" Derek asked as he met up with Sarah and Casey after his surgery.

"Dad, that's like the 5th craniotomy I've seen you do, the excitement is starting to wear down."

"Ouch, that hurts kind of."

"Oh you know it's bound to happen Uncle Derek. We need something different. Maybe, I don't know, next time we can scrub in?"

"Clever. But I don't think so. It was a good try though."

"Yeah, I thought so too. But hey, you can't blame me for trying. Hey Case, you want to go find Bailey and see what she has?"

"Sure!"

"Be sure it's nothing too late, we're out of here by 7!" Derek yelled down the hall as Casey and Sarah ran to find Bailey. He had been standing there for a couple minutes before his wife showed up.

"Surgery went well?"

"Yep, but it turns out our daughter is getting bored with watching, and thinks it would be a good idea if we let her scrub in."

"Does she really think we'd let her do that? She's only in the eighth grade."

"Apparently she thought she'd give it a try."

"Yeah. So anyway, speaking of our daughter, where is she?"

"Her and Sarah ran off to find Bailey and see if she has any surgeries coming up."

"So technically we have some time to kill."

"Yeah I guess we do."

"So….on call room?"

"Definitely."

"So have you figured out your schedule for tomorrow yet?" Casey asked Sarah as they sat in the gallery waiting for the surgery to begin.

"Not really. I have it, if that's what you mean. But I really don't want to look at it because then I'll know that the summer is really over."

"Yeah I guess. But at least we're in the same class."

"True. I don't think I'd be able to endure the year if you weren't with me."

"Awww! Sarah that's so sweet!"

"Shut up."

Down in the OR Bailey was getting ready to operate on a 27 year old female who was in a car crash and was bleeding internally. Apparently she had been rushing to an appointment that she was late for.

"Stupid." Bailey had called it.

It was another routine procedure, one that Casey and Sarah were starting to get tired of.

"Where's the good stuff?"

"I have no idea, but I don't see why we can't scrub in if it's just routine."

"Yeah, our parents really should just give us a chance. We don't have to do anything, maybe just watch from a closer view."

"Yeah, but I highly doubt that will happen."

"You never know."

Bailey's surgery finished about ten minutes before seven, and Casey and Sarah headed back to meet their parents.

"You ready to go?" Derek asked as they met up at the nurses' station.

"I'm not sure if that's a good question to ask. Of course I'm not ready to leave this place and go spend my days learning in a classroom."

"Ok then."

Derek, Meredith, and Casey walked out of the hospital and into their car. Casey looked back at the building one more time because she didn't know when she would be back.

I love reviews!
