"Seriously, I would never say no so see that," Alex said as the intern group came out of the room. "What the hell have you been doing? I've looked for you all over the place," Bailey said coming up to them. Before one of them got a chance to say something, Bailey spoke again.
"If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it and get your ass down in the ER…NOW." The interns hurried down the hall and Bailey shook her head. "I know they're up to something, I just have to figure out what," she said to her selves, as she walked down the hall after them.
"Did you see Bailey's face?" Izzie said almost laughing. "She can't find out…" Izzie started.
"We have to pretend everything is normal or she will…"
"Band us from surgeries; put us on sutures..."
"rectal exams, she will…"
"Kill us," Cristina ended. They opened the door to the ER, finding people in every hospital bed in the room.
"Gosh," George said looking at an older man with a scissors in his stomach. "You better get started. This is your last day as interns and I want the job to be done properly. The rest of the week you will be studying for the intern exam." The interns turned to face Bailey who was tagging at them for the last time, at least as interns.
"Get started," Bailey said raising her voice. The group started to separate, and ran in all kind of directions to patients.
Alex, George and Cristina sat in the cafeteria as Izzie and Meredith came up them.
"So who's in?" Izzie said sitting down beside George. The others interns raised their hands as a yes. "Okay so were doing a CT and find out what's inside those "breaths"," Izzie said looking exited. "If Bailey finds out she will make our last day as intern's a hell…"
"That's for sure," Alex and Meredith said together. Izzie waved her hand, her mouth full of chicken sandwich. "What's why we will be doing it now, after lunch cause Bailey's in surgery then."
The other interns stopped chewing, and suddenly they all got up and hurried down the hall. "I meant…" Izzie screamed. "After lunch," she said to her selves before she got up and followed them.
"Mr. Karakinos were going to do a blood test now to find out what you have inside your chest…" Mr. Karakinos stared at the intern group.
"I can't have breasts right? I'm a man…" "
I can tell you for sure that it's not breasts, beasts you have but something was growing inside there and the CT will show us what." Izzie opened the chart again. "You know they though I was physic when I told them my chest were actually growing to breasts…" Cristina stepped closer.
"When did you first discover it?" "About two months ago, and for one and a half I figured out something was really wrong."
"Uhm, will you excuse us for a moment Mr. Karakinos?" The interns stepped out in the hall. "We need some blood tests done and the CT, but we need an assignment from an…"
"Attending, right. How do we do that?" Alex said and sighted.
"We can't go to Burke or Bailey or…" Izzie's face got lighter. "Shepherd," she said looking at Meredith. "What?" Meredith said surprised. "Yes, you can get Derek's signature, Mer you can convince him…"
"And lie to him? He's the chief, you really think that's a good idea?" Cristina and the others nodded. "Uhm, Bailey," George said to warn the others. They all turned to see the upcoming Bailey.
"I'm going into a long surgery now and I need you to…check some patients and deliver some blood labs." She looked hard on them. "Don't do anything stupid; even if it is your last day as interns I still have the responsibility over you." She met their eyes, searching for something and when she didn't find anything she turned her back to them and left.
"Okay, Meredith go find Shep…"
"But what am I going to tell him?" Meredith said frustrate. "You'll come up with something, just make sure he signs the papers," Cristina said and the others left. "Great," she said lowed to her selves as she made her way to Derek's office.
"Derek, hi," she greeted as she found him in his office. Derek looked up from his desk finding his fiancé, no his pregnant fiancée standing nervous in front of him. "Hi there," he said back smiling. "I um, well me and…" She cut her selves off.
"Can you sign these papers? There's a patient who needs a CT and well Bailey's in surgery and burkes not here and…" "Who does this patient belong to?" Derek asked looking at the papers Meredith had given him. Meredith sighted.
She couldn't lie; he could read her as a book. "We transferred a patient from physics to surgical cause he has growing breasts and we think there may be something in there but for sure we need a CT and someone has to sign those papers…"
"You stole a patient?" Derek said surprised. "Well um, no we, okay a kind off but he is a surgical patient and…" Derek had to smile. He made a quick sign and at the papers before he got up. "Now I'm the attending on the case, let's go." Meredith smiled too and they left the office, heading back to the patient's room.
"You can't tell Bailey, or Burke or anyone else but special Bailey. She's like a war machine today, but anyway…don't tell the other interns that I told you. You have to say you found out, and the patient thinks we were allowed to transfer him, so you can't tell him…"
"That you stole him?" Derek finished, and smiled at her. "Just do as I said." Meredith stopped outside the patient's room. "And you have to tell physic that he's transferred, they won't accept an intern doing that…" Derek putted his hand on top of her mouth."I got it, stop worrying. I'll go give these papers to the nurse," he said and walked to the end of the hall to the nurse's station passing by Cristina.
"You got his signature?" Cristina said coming up to her. Meredith nodded. "Yeh, and Derek." Cristina lifted her eyebrows. "He's helping us with the case…"
"You told him?" Meredith shook her head. "Oh yes you did. Seriously you think that was a good idea?" Meredith lifted her shoulders. "We won't get too far without an attending anyway. It's not like we can put him into surgery by ourselves." They stood there silent for a moment. "So, you and Burke?" Meredith started. "Were fine," Cristina said quickly.
"Does he still think you should be religious?" Meredith asked curious. "Nope, he's been giving up on that," Cristina replies short playing with her watch. "So you're good?"
"We're good." Meredith nodded. "Good." Derek came up to them and broke the awkward silent. "Now he illegally at our service and he take's for a CT in about 20 minutes." Cristina opened the door to the patient's room and they stepped inside finding Izzie, Alex and George. "Dr…"
"Shepherd," George finished for Izzie. "Hi. Mr. Karakinos," Derek said coming closer to him.
"I'm Dr Shepherd as you already know," he said taking a quick glare at Izzie and George. "I'm the Nero specialist and the chief at the surgical floor." Derek explained the procedure to Mr. Karakinos as the interns sent Meredith weird glares.
"Dr Yang and Dr Grey here will take you for a CT now. I'll be back later," Derek finished before he left. "I have to say there's a lot of doctors her," Mr. Karakinos said and Izzie smiled to him. "We will be back soon," she said and Alex, Izzie and George left.
"Then let's get you for a CT Mr. Karakinos," Meredith said smiling.
"Please call me Benjamin."
"Pretty good surgery hah? Not bad for being your last as an intern," Derek said and he and Meredith stood over the sink.
"Can't complain," Meredith replied back, grinning. They stood there washing in silent, before Derek suddenly asked. "Have you made a decision yet?" Meredith didn't look at him and took some paper to dry her hands.
"Not yet." Derek nodded as he also dried his hands. "I'll see you at home?" Meredith said before she stepped out of the sink room. Derek stood left, thinking about the surgery. The surgery Mr. Karakinos had had been successful, and he would be just normal again.
What if everything were that easy to fix?
Not all problems has an easy decision.
There's not short cut's on everything.
Something is suppose to be harder, or it wouldn't be so special.
His mother use to say that. He had never really figured out what she meant with that, not before he met Meredith.
Meredith wasn't a short cut, or an easy woman to fix. She was hard and tuff, but she was worth it. Meredith was worth it, and he could wait until she was ready. A few other people came into the sink room, and Derek left.
He headed back to his office. "Dr Shepherd," he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Miranda," he said turning around to face her. "Excuse me?" Derek smiled. "Fine, I'll just call you bailey then." Bailey shook her head.
"You think you're charming, but going behind my back like that I can not allow you to. You may be my boss, you may be all or our boss but supporting my interns for steeling a patient…"
"It's their last day, tomorrow and the rest of the week they will be studying." Bailey shut her arms out. "They were right you know?" Derek said lifting his eyebrows before he carried on.
"Of course they were," Bailey mumbled as she shook her head and left the hall.
As Derek parked with the house, he saw a light on in the kitchen. He smiled, and walked inside. As he came to the kitchen door, he saw Meredith with her head over a cooking book. He grinned when he saw her face. It looked like she read a book on Greek and didn't understand something at all.
"Hi," he said stepping into the kitchen. "Oh, you're home," Meredith said surprised as she closed the book and sat down with the table. Derek sat down on the opposite of her, and she gave him a plate with spaghetti.
"You made this?" Derek said looking at Meredith. Yes why?" Derek smiled. "Oh nothing, it looks very good," he said smiling.
"So, uhm…" Meredith started as Derek ate. He looked at her and smiled. "It's good, thank you." Meredith nodded. "I wasn't going to ask about that," she said and Derek stopped chewing.
"I have decided now. I know what I'm going to do…about the baby."
Derek played full attention at her as she looked at him…
