Five months later

"Good morning Chief Brunner, I hate to deliver bad news but it seems that my flight will be delayed by a few hours, there's terrible weather going on. I think I'll be landing in New York at around nine o'clock maybe ten," a female's voice spoke on the phone to the chief of surgery Dr. Brunner.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I do hope you make it here safely. Please contact me once you land in New York, I'm very please to be working with you," Chief Brunner told the female.

"Thank you so much for understanding, I'm very happy that I'll be working at Pacific Coast."

...

"Morning, can I get a white chocolate mocha please?" Marina asked the girl behind the counter at Starbucks.

"Sure and what's your name?" The girl asked.

"It's Marina M-A-R-I-N-A, thanks." She walked over to where Nico and Jason were sitting and waited for her coffee to be made.

Currently Jason was at a loss because he and Piper had a fight, and it was apparently a big one.

"So you said no," Marina stated, because it wasn't really said as a question.

"I- well I said I'd think about it," Jason said.

"Which is a no."

"Well to be fair, you guys have been dating for what? Nine months? Close it being a year and she wants you to move in with her?" Nico asked trying to give Jason advice from the information he got.

"Not to mention that she's still rooming with Lucy. I mean how's that gonna work out? You two are gonna be forming your lives and your relationship together and Lucy just lives there?" Marina asked Jason.

"I don't know guys. I don't know what to say or what to do," Jason groaned in frustration.

Two weeks ago Piper had asked Jason if living together would be such a bad idea. Jason had told her he wouldn't mind if they lived together. The next day Piper proposed to Jason to moving in with her. At first Jason had been speechless, but quickly recovered to say that he'd give it a thought. Yesterday, Piper confronted him and asked him if he had thought about what she asked him. To be honest, Jason had given it a thought and decided that he wasn't ready for that type of commitment and so he told Piper the truth. That's what started the argument between them. Piper claimed that Jason was afraid to commit, Jason pointed out that they hadn't even made a year to even think about moving in. Piper called Jason a coward, Jason told her that she was taking things too fast. And so yesterday had left a bitter taste in Jason's mouth as he left her apartment in a foul mood.

"Not even a year dude, what's the rush? I mean Nico and Percy already made a year and they haven't moved in together yet," Marina said.

"She's right, we haven't made that kind of change in our relationship," Nico agreed.

"Yeah, but you have two drawers filled with your clothes at Percy's and you guys adopted a dog together, that's like having a kid sorta," Jason pointed out.

"True, they did adopt an adorable dog and if they lived together, it would seem as if they had started a 'family' together. The way I look at it is that adopting a dog is the first step in making a relationship solid and bound to last for a long, long time. 'Till death do you part' sort of thing and they're relationship is solid, my opinion only of course," Marina explained and then got up once they called her name. Once she got her drink, all three residents got up and started to make their way to work. It had been a month since the interns took their intern test to see if they passed and became residents. And when they did become residents, work got a bit more stressful. They would now have to teach new interns and actually perform surgery.

"I tried explaining to her that everything felt rushed and I wanted to take things slow, and she just got even more mad and we argued back and forth. Thank God Lucy wasn't there or she would've suffered through all of the screaming," Jason said in a defeated tone.

"Another example," Nico spoke, "look at Lucy and Octavian, they have been dating about as long as you and Piper. Yet we hear no talk of them moving in together."

"He's got a point Jase," Marina agreed.

"Can't you try to make her see reason?" Nico asked him.

"I'm gonna be honest here, and you might get offended, but barely a year and already she wants you to move in? It's a stupid idea that's premature and could very likely ruin your relationship," Marina bluntly stated.

"Is moving in with someone that bad of a thing to do if you've gone out with the person for a year?" Nico asked her.

"My opinion only, but it depends in the type of people invoked in the relationship. Sleeping over a person's house and spending one or two days entirely with them is completely different than actually living with them. You both have to learn how to live with each other and coexist together. You're going to learn if the person is messy or a clean freak or somewhere in between. Moving in too early when you're still getting to know them; because let's face it, we never really stop learning about our significant other we just learn a few tricks, could ruin your relationship. All I'm saying is if you are considering it, think it through carefully. You don't wanna make a mistake you'll regret."

The trio walked in silence after that to the hospital. Both Jason and Nico pondering about Marina had just said.

"Okay, how exactly do you know all of this?" Jason asked breaking the silence.

"A friend I had back in college moved in with her boyfriend when they had dated for only eight months. She claimed that they were both in college and mature adults, not to mention that she just absolutely loved him with all her little heart. Four months later, she comes begging me to take her in my dorm, since the rest are filled. After she settled in she kept on talking about how different everything seemed after she started living with him. I kept the important information stored safely for future reference in case I ever became one of those people."

"One of those people?" Nico asked her.

"Yeah, the ones who think that everything will work out fine if two people love each other enough."

All of the head surgeons, attendings, and fellows were sitting down in the auditorium, talking amongst themselves while waiting for the Chief to get there. He had said that he need to make an important announcement that morning and requested every surgeon to be there. Once Chief Brunner made his way to the center, it got quiet around.

"Good morning, fellow colleagues, I have called upon this meeting to address some important news. Starting tomorrow, we will be welcoming a new doctor who will become the new head of trauma," Chief Brunner let the news sink in. Everyone had started to whisper among themselves and some started to ask questions to the chief.

"Wait, isn't Dr. Yew the head of trauma?" Will asked while looking over to where Michael Yew sat.

"Yes, but Dr. Yew will soon be leaving us, unfortunately. He has been offered to become the Chief of Surgery at a hospital in Seattle, Washington. That is a great opportunity, one that must not be passed up and he will be missed dearly at Pacific Coast. It truly was great to have worked with you, Dr. Yew and we were very lucky to have you here with us. We wish you the best of luck in this new path in your life. Now there will be another doctor who will be taking over as head of trauma and we will be very lucky to be working with a brilliant mind. Please welcome the new doctor with open arms. Now then, that is all I have left to say, doctors you are dismissed," Chief Brunner said and soon other doctors started to get up and make their way out of the auditorium. Dr. Yew stayed behind and was discussing things with the chief.

"I can't believe Yew's leaving," Will said as the rest of the surgeons made their way out. He had wanted to stay behind and talk to Michael but he saw that the conversation would have to wait until later.

"Why are you gonna miss your drinking buddy?" Apollo asked his brother.

"Well yeah," Will answered as though that should've been obvious.

"I could be your drinking buddy," Thalia joked as she slung an arm around both brothers.

"Wow, that'd be great," Will said sarcastically.

"Well, I can see when I'm not wanted," Thalia huffed and untangled an arm from Will.

"It's not that Thalia, it's just that Michael was a high school buddy and college buddy, I'm gonna miss him is all."

They made their way down the stairs and to the main desk where they could get new charts and updates on patients.

"Well, there's always Skype," Thalia spoke up.

"I wonder who the new head of trauma is gonna be," Percy wondered out loud as he and Luke made their way down to see Bertha Miller, a patient of Luke's who had originally come in to see him because of the stroke she suffered last month. Upon arriving, Dr. Castellan ran some tests and found some blood clots in her brain, so he called in Jackson to take a look.

"Who knows," Luke said, not really caring who the new doctor would be.

"He said it was someone who was brilliant."

"And why do you care?" Luke asked Percy.

"I don't know... I just have a bad feeling about this," Percy admitted, "I've had this feeling for a while now."

"Could be due to the fact that you never told Nico the full truth about your ex. Maybe it's guilt," Luke huffed in annoyance. All he wanted was for Percy to tell Nico the truth, because they were starting to get serious and the more he put this off, the worse it could get. Who knew how Nico would react to the news.

"I will tell him," Percy defended himself.

"You've already made a year," Luke countered.

"I am going to tell him, just let me figure out how..." Percy said sounding exhausted.

"Hey Nico," a voice spoke drawing Nico's attention.

"Oh, hey Marshall. What's up?" Nico asked him, a bit surprised that Marshall was talking to him again since after the incident he seemed to have distanced himself for awhile.

"Uh, I just wanted to know how Marina's doing, i-is she okay?" Marshall asked nervously.

"Yeah, she's fine now, she was fine four months ago. I don't know if you know this but she's incredibly strong. I think she's one of the strongest people I know."

"I know that I, I just wanted to... make sure she was okay. Thanks by the way," Marshall said to Nico as he walked off.

Nico finished signing his charts and grabbed another one before heading off to cardio. Nico was going to be in on a surgery with Dr. Castellan repairing a ruptured artery from a patient that suffered a stroke last month. So far, things were going great in his life. Nico had a very caring boyfriend, who he was blissfully happy with, an adorable dog, and he was soaking up experience while working on cardio and general; he really liked working on general. He had only been a resident for all of three weeks ago but he seemed to be focused on only cardio and general. It was exciting to be working on general because he would deal with different parts of the body and it was always a great learning experience. Nico could wrap his head around the surreal way his life was going. He was happy; truly, joyfully, cheerfully happy. He had made a year with Percy not too long ago and Nico started thinking that it was time to tell his dad. Percy had yet to tell his mom, but she was very smart and she could tell that Percy seemed to be very happy. Sally; that was her name, wanted to know why, at least that's what Percy had told Nico two days ago when she had called her son and Nico was in the shower in Percy's apartment.

Nico could not get over those mesmerizing sea-green eyes, the way that Percy made him feel. With one look it would make his stomach flutter, he felt as if he couldn't breathe, pinned still in his spot like statue by those eyes of his. He felt such adoration and love? Was it love that Nico was feeling for Percy? Could he be in love with that beautiful man he called his?

'I love you, Percy' Nico thought to himself and it didn't sound so bad. It actually felt good to think it. He wanted to say it out loud, he wanted to say it to Percy.

"I'll see you tonight, okay?" Apollo told Leo and kissed him on the lips before leaving the on-call room.

"Okay," Leo told no one in particular because Apollo had left before Leo could say anything.

Leo let out a huff before falling back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Lately things involving Apollo and sex were presenting a problem for Leo. Whenever he saw Apollo, he felt his heart quicken its beat and stomach sputter. Leo, of course excused those little flutterings as feeling anticipation for the amazing sex he was going to have with Apollo. It absolutely had nothing to do with the fact that Leo could be attracted to Apollo in a level that bordered over the physical side. Because then that would mean that he was developing feelings for the flirtatious man. Besides Leo did not by any means have any sort of feelings for the other man whatsoever. Sure he was funny, so funny that he would have Leo doubled over in laughter sometimes. He was very caring and kind when he allowed Leo to see that side of his that Apollo kept well hidden. He was smart too, and not just in the field of medicine but also about other things as well, it was mostly about history and politics. He wasn't as conceited as he made himself out to be. In fact Apollo could be very selfless and that had surprised Leo pleasantly.

Everyday Leo got to know Apollo more and more, he felt himself falling for him more and more, but he refused to believe it let alone acknowledge those feelings. And he couldn't very well tell Apollo that he was suddenly falling for him rapidly. Leo had no idea what to do and he was starting to rethink this whole 'no strings attached' business.

Marina was once again on cardio with Luke and Nico. Luke didn't mind Nico being on cardio, he had a natural talent for it. And it wasn't like he minded Marina being on cardio so much either. Except for the fact that Luke could barely think straight with her around. For the past year Luke had tried to convince himself that he was not attracted to her. At first he had thought she was cute, but since they were coworkers; Luke also being a firm believer that getting intimate with a coworker would be bad for the work flow, and was a big NO, never pursued it. At first it seemed innocent, a small quickening pace of the heart whenever they touched accidentally, his eyes lingering on her curvy body for a few seconds more than was needed whenever she walked away, and a few naughty thoughts that would make the front side of his pants grow.

After a few months though, things got a bit different. Whenever he was around her, he felt his stomach clench tightly, his heart beat fast, he felt light-headed and felt like he needed air to fill his lungs because he forgot to breathe. Whenever they touched or bumped, it was electric, he would easily be distracted by her beautiful smiles and in those candy apply green eyes of hers, he could be lost in them forever. He found himself thinking about her more often than he dared admit, even to himself. He found himself craving to be around her, he wanted to spend more of his time with her and when he was with her, he felt unguarded. He didn't need a reason to be guarded when with her. That was why having Marina on cardio sometimes, was a challenge. He just could not focus with her around.

"Dr. Castellan?" Luke heard the voice of the one person who he could not get his mind off of. "Are you okay? You looked kinda out of it for a second," Marina asked him, concern lacing her voice and he felt her touch his hand that sent electric shocks up his arm.

"Uh, I'm fine. Just a bit distracted?" Luke fumbled for words.

She smiled an easy and warm smile, "you? Distracted before a surgery? Someone on your mind?" Marina joked harmlessly.

Luke felt his face heat up from the smile he saw gracing her face, and even more so by the question she asked him. Could he really be that see-through? Was it that obvious?

"Uh- no it's uh..." Luke stuttered trying to articulate a sentence of some sort but only ended up feeling like a fool.

"You're very eloquent Dr. Castellan," Marina quipped as she grabbed his arm and led him to prep Bertha Miller.

Marina had woken up that morning, thinking back on the past year and how it started out. To say that it was bad was an understatement. It was the single most horrible thing to have happened to her in a long time. Ever since she started working in this hospital as an intern and then as a resident, two things would keep her distracted. Well two people actually, her brother Marshall; whom she had no idea worked here, oh what twist of fate so cruel! And Luke Castellan; whom she just felt this undeniable but yet like always she would deny, attraction towards.

The past year all she did was avoid Marshall at all costs and try her best to get rid of her stupid crush on Luke, but neither of them seemed to be making it easier for her to do. Marshall tried whatever he could to work with her and it didn't help that Luke had started being nice to her and giving her those smiles that made her go all weak-kneed and threw her off balance. That stupid little crush of hers just kept growing throughout the year, and the more she denied herself of these feelings, the more they seemed to grow. It seemed highly unlikely that if she confessed to Luke, he would feel the same way for her. It was stupid and she seriously had to get over got up and went to take a shower, already she could hear a bed creaking constantly from another room and surprisingly it wasn't from Leo's room, it was from Hazel's. Which meant Frank had stayed over.

Once again Marina was on cardio along with Nico; he was seriously talented on both cardio and general, and she felt her stomach flutter as her heart beat fast. She saw Luke standing there looking up from his chart and seemingly lost in thought.

"Dr. Castellan? Dr. Castellan?" Marina got close to him and finally he seemed to snap out of it, "are you okay? You looked kinda out of it for a second," Marina placed a hand on his and she felt a fire burn across the joined hands and make its way inside her.

"Uh, I'm fine. Just a bit distracted?" Luke stutterd.

"You? Distracted before a surgery? Someone on your mind?" Marina smiled at him jokingly.

She saw his face heat up and her heart started to beat fast. 'What if he does have someone on his mind? Someone he likes?' Marina panicked, she felt uneasy and out of breath.

"Uh- no it's uh..." Luke fumbled.

Marina quenched down on the on her panicky feelings and said in the most normal voice she could muster, "you're very eloquent Dr. Castellan." She garbed his arm and led him to prep Bertha Miller.

Marina felt her stomach clench tightly and her heart cracked just a smidge at the thought of Luke loving someone else.

"You don't understand, I think you're moving too fast Piper, we need to sow down a bit," Jason said to her.

They had gone the whole day ignoring each other, well Piper had gone the whole day ignoring Jason whenever he tried to talk to her. And now they were both at Piper's apartment, arguing back and forth once again. Jason had followed her home since she wasn't talking to him at work, or answered any of his calls or texts. It was completely childish the way she was acting towards him.

"Piper," Jason huffed, growing impatient, "please talk to me."

"You don't want to live with me right? Just say it!"

"I might but right now I don't know because it's too early to tell!"

"You don't want to live with me because you're scared!"

"You're being juvenile!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes because I am telling you I'm not ready, why can't you just accept it?"

"Because you're afraid to commit just like my ex-boyfriend! You're just like him! He didn't want to move in with me and I would always ask him why. He never told me and I had to find out that he was cheating on me! And with you it's like the same thing is happening again. It started out the same as with my ex and it ended bad. And with you it's going to happen too!"

"No it's not, I won't let it happen. I won't," Jason told Piper gently.

Neither of them said anything, the silence falling heavily on both. They both seemed to have calmed down considerably, especially Piper. She had fallen in love with her ex so fast and they were both moving at a fast pace in their relationship. It was what she was used to living her life as, in a fast paced way, relationships were all fast paced; they included love and family. She found that he had cheated on her for a whole year, and that had broken her heart and shattered her confidence.

Slowly, Jason made his way to her and wrapped his arms around her. He hugged her tightly to his chest and didn't let her go.

"I'm sorry. You were right, I'm sorry Jason," Piper whispered sounding regretful for her behavior.

"It's okay," Jason whispered back as he ran his hands up and down her back.

Will and Marshall had gone home together, since Marshall was going to be spending the night. After the incident had happened, Marshall had leaned on Will for moral, emotional, and physical support and had slowly opened up to him. Their relationship blossomed, and they grew stronger together. Marshall had told Will about how his father used to beat him and Marina, but he would take most of those beatings so as to protect his sister. He loved Marina with all his heart and there was never a day that Marshall hadn't forgiven himself for leaving her. He wanted to make things right with her again. He told Will how his mother had come to this country illegally but got her citizenship and married their dad. At first his dad had been a caring and loving man, but suddenly it changed and he never found out why. It had started with him beating his mother and calling her names, but he got bored of her when she started to take pills, any kind to numb the pain, and instead she lay there like a corpse.

So he turned to his children. He would torture them everyday. If they made a sound as he beat them, then they would go to bed hungry. They would kneel at his feet and grovel for their food, they ate out of dog bowls and would only get up until he told them to. He was quick to anger and never fully satisfied.

Finally Marshall had a chance to be free when he went off to college, call him selfish but he just didn't want to go back. He was scared and got used to not being abused. He had gone back for Marina but by that time, she had already been gone and his father never told him where she went. 'Good riddance that filthy bitch.' He said as he drank away his dignity. But he had looked for her for a good year and a half, hoping to find her. He never did and he would sometimes cry himself to sleep some nights, thinking his baby sister was dead by now.

When he first saw her working as an intern at Pacific Coast that first day, he froze. He couldn't believe his eyes and he wanted nothing more than to run up to her, hug her and see if it wasn't an illusion. But Marina had acted as if she didn't know him. She barely glanced his way, didn't acknowledge he existed and that had hurt. He would try and talk to her or Nico but she would ignore him. Eventually he got frustrated, and well exploded on her. The result was terrible to say the least. He got his answer as to why she ignored him, he supposed.

He told Will about his hopes and dreams. How he wanted to have kids and become an amazing surgeon. He wanted to have a family and raise his kids properly without ever hurting them like he and Marina had been hurt. And Will loved every second they spent together, every time Marshall opened up to him, Will soaked it up and he loved Marshall even more than before.

A woman walked into Pacific Coast Hospital and made her way around looking for someone specific. She had blonde hair that was curly, intelligent storm grey eyes and a skinny frame. She walked with a purpose down the halls of the hospital, and it had nothing to do with the new job she got. No, it was to see her husband. She knew of the lover he had for over a year now and had waited of him to come back to her, like he always did. But it seemed like this time it was different because he didn't come back, it seemed as though he had gotten smitten with his new lover. She turned down a hall and there she saw them, laughing together, holding hands, giving each other kisses. She strutted their way and when her husband looked up and saw her coming, he paled. He froze right in his spot with eyes wide and looked at the man next to him. He was good looking she had to admit, even to herself. The man had midnight black hair that curled around the ends, dark brown eyes like chocolate, olive toned skin and a small smile graced his face.

"Uh- Nico, there's something... something I- I forgot to tell..." Percy stutters and was starting to sweat, knowing he had run out of time.

The woman came to a stop in front of both men and looked at each of them in an unnerving way.

"Percy?" Nico questioned.

"Hello, I am Annabeth Jackson, the wife of Percy Jackson. And you must be the whore he's been sleeping with."

Okay and that's a wrap! I am currently writing the next chapter which I should have it out by friday so until then! Have an amazing day!
