The next day was Valentines Day, Ben woke up and walked around his empty apartment, this was supposed to be a day about love, and he felt so alone, but he did have one person on his mind, and that was Miranda, he was curious to know if he was on her mind. Ben took a shower, got dressed and put on his best smelling cologne, today was going to be the day he made Miranda Bailey his. As he was leaving his apartment he felt his phone vibrate, he looked down at the screen and read Monica then declined the call. He walked towards the car and made his was to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital he looked at the OR board and noticed a surgery he had with Dr. Bailey that day. He noticed that was his only surgery for the day so he went to the anesthesiologist attending's room and cleaned up, making sure he looked fresh and good for Miranda. "Ben!" a man yelled running into the room. It was Dr. Harrington. He was short, fat, ginger man with square glasses. "Roof collapse! We need all hands on deck!" Ben nodded grabbed his coat and headed out, he made his way to the OR board and noticed his presider was pushed. Rats! He thought, now how is he going to find time to talk to her? Ben was walking down the stairs when a voice caught his ear.

"That's a holiday!" That's all he heard, and he knew it was Miranda; he spotted her and ran up to her from behind.

"Dr. Bailey!" He yelled jogging up to her; she slightly glanced at him than away. " Our appendectomy is pushed, that's a shame I was really looking forward to that." He noticed she was avoiding eye contact and walking at a bit of a faster pace, was she trying to get away from him?

"Yeah, well, um" She tried to talk while adjusting her jacket but she kept looking down.

"Well maybe we can make up for it, dinner tomorrow?" he asked

"No" She snapped back at him. His heart dropped, but he had to play it cool. "I'm um, busy, I have surgery, I always have surgery." He lightly smiled trying to handle the rejection.

"Right, well, uh, I'll see you in the OR then!" He finished lamely; she rolled her eyes and walked away. He turned around mentally hitting himself. What an idiot! He thought to himself. Well any chance of that happening is over, might as well just give up now. Maybe surgery will help ease the pain of that fast rejection, he looked at his schedule and died a little bit inside, he had a 6-hour procedure, with Dr. Bailey in 30 minutes. Wow apparently the rejection wasn't enough embarrassment enough for one day. He made it to the surgery and put the patient under, up first he was avoiding eye contact, but then he reminded himself something. I'm Ben Warren! He thought to himself, who cares if I got rejected I need to shake this! While giving himself this pep talk a familiar face walked in, it was Arizona Robbins.

"Hi Dr. Bailey! I was hoping you would let me observe your surgery?" She looked up at her with a bit of a glare and nodded. She watched her work and the surgery went on again, and finally Arizona spoke "Nice work Dr. Bailey" Ben glanced up from the chart when she said that and looked at what was going on inside the patient. "Dr. Warren" Arizona said, he looked up and met her eyes; he didn't even think she knew whom he was. 'Did you know Dr. Bailey almost left general surgery for pediatric?" Ben was a bit confused but went along.

"Um, no I did not" He spoke

"Yeah! She almost said no, to general surgery but then she thought about it and she changed her mind, she wasn't afraid to rethink her decision, she just needed to be asked again" Arizona said with a huge smile Ben could see through her mask. Then it clicked, she was there when he asked her out, and she wanted him to ask her, again. Maybe she knew something he didn't? He cleared his throat.

"I see, clearly." He responded with a little bit of a confidence boost.

More time passed and Dr. Bailey continued to work in silence, "So, how is he Dr. Bailey? It looks like you are nearly done, and its just in time for Dinner!" Ben glanced up noticing what Arizona was doing. " And um, maybe even some dancing!" he glanced over at Miranda who looked beyond the point of irritated and he felt bad, he wanted to help out tell Arizona to knock it off, but he knew him contributing would only make things worse. "The patient looks good" He could tell Miranda had enough at that point.

"He'll be just fine!" She snapped, causing Arizona to jump a bit, but it sort of called to Ben a little bit, her snapping like that, it was sort of, sexy. "He wont be dancing anytime soon. And when the time comes and he WANTS to go out dancing, he will be perfectly capable of making that determination himself," Ben looked down into his chest pretending to read labs, it was obvious she was talking about him, he wishes he could go back and just un ask her out, so she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. " With out any help, from anyone, and I don't need your help here, so if you are through helping me you can go." Arizona tried getting a word in but Miranda cut her off. "Now." Arizona shrugged her shoulders and left the room. Ben decided to say something, maybe lighten the mood, and apologize for starting this whole mess.

"She's nice, chatty." Miranda cut him off.

"Stop talking."

"To be fair I never said a word about dancing, although," Oh no he stuck his foot in his mouth again, yes he would love to go dancing with her but it was obvious she didn't even want dinner with him, so he wasn't going to make her feel uncomfortable like that. Luckily she cut him off again.

"Shh! What is all this bleeding!" she said looking around in the chest cavity. Than she located it, ah! Splenic artery is ripped, ah he is goanna loose this spleen!" she said going to work. " Okay lap pads!" Dr. Bailey finished up with the patient and some how go him breathing and stable, Ben was amazed. He went into the anesthesiologist attending's room and laid on the couch. He was exhausted, sort of ready to just go home and sleep. He pulled out his phone and saw a few notifications, 2 missed calls from Monica, and one from his mom. He ignored the calls from Monica and called his mom back.

"Hello" He heard through the phone.

"Hey Mom! I'm just returning your call, sorry I was I surgery,"

"Oh Benji! Aren't you always in surgery!" He chuckled a bit being friendly towards his mom.

"Yeah pretty much! So what can I do for you?"

"Oh I was just working with Camille and I noticed you never RSVPed for her wedding! You are coming right? It's at the end of March!"

"What miss my little sisters wedding? I would never! Of course I'm coming, I just don't know if I'll have a plus one yet I guess." He was hopping Miranda would go with him, but he figured he was planning way to far a head. "But yes I m going, even though she beat me to the whole getting married thing."

"Oh honey, you are the one who said you didn't want to date until your schooling and training was over! Well its over now! You did have Monica but"

"Mom, please don't bring that women up."

"Ben, I'm just saying."

"MOM"

"Okay, okay. Well please, just find a nice girl, I just want to stick it to that dourine that all 3 of my kids got married before her!"

" Mom Curt is still single"

"Curt is a work in progress sweetie, only so many woman will put up with him." They both chuckled a little.

"Alright mom, well I'm goanna get back to work, I love you!"

"Love you too Benji! Take care!" Ben disconnected the call and got up off the couch, he needed to check if he had another surgery today so he got up off the couch and went to the OR board, right next to where Miranda Bailey was saying, he decided to break the ice a little bit and start a conversation.

"Congratulations! I thought we lost him, but you" She cut him off again.

"I can't talk to you" Ben ducked his head away a little.

"Right, look, I'm sorry, I thought you and I might,"

"I can't talk to you, you make me nervous." He did not expect her to say that, " I- forget what I, and I say things I don't want to say, and I-I cant, I just go stupid!" he was smiling on the inside but trying to not make it show on the outside, " I like you, that's all, there!" He finally allowed himself to smile on the outside; she liked him this whole time but was too afraid to admit it.

"Alright" He said smiling and chuckling a little.

"So if you want to go to dinner, fine, I will, um, show up and try to talk."

"How's tomorrow night?" He asked throwing it out there again.

"Fine, I might have surgery."

"I-I might join you" He said smiling, he turned away and walked around the corner, he walked a little bit then turned into an empty room. " Yess!" He yelled. He regained his cool then went to the locker room, to change. He changed into his day clothes and started to head for the door, he felt someone push his back and he turned around, it was Cynthia, " Hey loser, he said pushing her head a bit."

"Yeah I'm the loser, she said pushing back, I herd you were in a 6 hour procedure with Dr. Bailey" She said her name in a seductive way. " Were you guys naming your children during, " she joked as they walked outside towards the parking lot.

"Yeah no," He chuckled " But She did agree to go on a date with me tomorrow night." He said a bit quite. She hit his arm getting exited and doing a little dance.

"HA! I told you! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Ben laughed at her then pushed her towards her car.

"Goodnight Cynthia Rose!" He said with a laugh

"Good night Benjamin Warren! Hope you have sweet dreams about you and your future wife tonight! She said with a laugh getting into her car.
