AN: Well I hope you enjoy this chapter. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! I love reviews that inspire me to keep writing… lol anyway… Oh and by the way, since I don't know a lot about hospitals and operations excuse me if I get some terms wrong, or don't at all include operating scenes…
Disclaimer: Grey's Anatomy is not mine, and neither is Alex Karev/ Justin Chambers though I sincerely wish he was lol…
Christina was watching as, Dr. Burke, the father of her unborn child performed open-heart surgery with George O'Malley sweating nervously in the back. She was sitting down in the room overlooking the OR with a look of pure fascination, which was partially masked by the effects that morning sickness brought to her face. On her right was Hunter, on her left was Izzie then Alex. Hunter and Izzie were vigorously taking notes on the procedure. Hunter would momentarily look up worriedly at George. When she saw him make a mistake she would correct him to herself two seconds before Dr. Burke would.
Christina was hardly able to pay attention to the surgery. On any other day, or month maybe, she would have been able to muster up all her excitement for the surgery but one, she was still recovering from this mornings bout of morning sickness, two, her boyfriend, who did not know she was pregnant, three, she wasn't actually down in their in the room so she didn't technically have to pay attention, and four, she was pissed that Dr. Burke chose George, who almost killed a patient, over her, his girlfriend to help with the surgery.
"You okay?" Christina looked to her right and saw Hunter looking at her concerned.
"I'm fine…" Christina said and stared at the glass, pretending to be watching the surgery. She could feel Hunter's eyes watching her meticulously. "Seriously… I'm fine."
"Okay…" Hunter said, of course not believing her.
"You should be watching the surgery." Christina said after 5 minutes of Hunter analyzing her.
"And you should tell me what's wrong." Hunter said quietly.
"You act like we're best friends." Christina said "Uh, you've only been here for, like, 3 and a half weeks."
"Yeah, I know…" Hunter said, and then dropping her voice so low that no one but Christina could here. "Now how long have you been pregnant?"
"Wha-?" Christina started and then stopped. How does she know…everything! She thought credulously. "You're an evil seer aren't you?"
Hunter laughed. "Pretty close, but no."
By the end of the surgery, George had managed to safely assist the doctors. Hunter had managed to figure out one of Christina's secrets and Izzie and Alex had managed to get into another fight. They left the room arguing heatedly, Christina and Hunter behind them.
"Are you scheduled for any operations?" Hunter asked off-handedly to Christina.
"No, why?"
"Hmm, me either… let's talk."
"Ugh, I should've seen this coming." Christina groaned and followed as Hunter pulled her onto the elevator. Christina pushed the button to go up. Hunter and Christina waited awkwardly for the elevator, neither of them talking until they heard the sharp ding and saw the elevator doors open. Hunter let Christina get into the elevator first and they didn't not speak until the doors closed.
"Whose baby is it?" Hunter said bluntly.
"Look, I haven't even known you for..." Christina started, one hand to hear head and one on her stomach. "I mean this baby-" DING, the elevator lurched to a halt and the doors opened. In walked Dr. Burke.
"Hello, ladies." Dr. Burke said professionally, he nodded to Hunter and then looked at Dr. Yang. "Yang."
"Dr. Burke." Christina returned. Hunter watched as both of there faces warmed. The elevator stopped on the next floor and Dr. Burke got off. Hunter wached Christina as she watched Dr. Burke walk off.
"You little… slut!" Hunter attacked playfully when the elevator door closed again. "You're screwing Dr. Burke!"
"I plead the fifth…" Christina stated with a smirk on his face.
"You haven't killed anyone… whore."
"Tease." Christina shot back.
"Whoa, who have I been teasing?" Hunter asked.
"I dunno, I just figured you had someone hanging."
"No you're just trying to change the subject." Hunter said.
"Yes, and apparently I failed." Christina replied.
"So," Hunter said as the elevator stopped again. "Are you dating?"
"Yep," Christina replied as the doors opened. In walked Dr. Derek Shepherd, and Dr. Addison Shepherd. Hunter snorted as she saw the two of them walk in. She had heard of the little love triangle that had occurred between the two and Meredith Grey. Christina elbowed her in the ribs, and Hunter quickly covered her amused face.
"Hello, Dr. Shepherd… Shepherds…" Christina said awkwardly, the doors closed and the elevator went down. "Damn," She said to Hunter. "That was our floor."
"Hello, Dr. Yang, Dr… Reid." Hunter nodded in reply to her last name. She had managed to reach a straight face.
"So, how's the OR this morning?" Hunter said. Addison cocked an eyebrow, noting the amusement that Hunter was trying to mask.
"It's great." Derek answered sarcastically. "Nothing like dealing with ruptured bowels in the morning…"
"It could replace the smell of coffee, I'm sure." Addison added.
"That's disgusting." Hunter said as the elevator stopped and the doors opened again. In walked Meredith Grey. Immediately, Hunter burst out laughing. Christina jabbed Hunter viciously in the ribs and Hunter literally had to choke to stop laughing.
"Dr. Shepherd." Meredith said solemnly to Addison and then nodded to Derek. The doors closed and if you were standing on the floor the doors closed on you would have seen. Hunter in the very back of the elevator looking very amused, Christina next to her looking nervous, Dr. Derek Shepherd looking uncomfortable, his wife next to him looking like she had a pencil up her butt, and Meredith slowing inching her way to the back looking rather pissed off. The Elevator went down.
"Oh, I thought it was going up." Meredith said looking annoyed, not only had she gotten into an elevator with her ex-boyfriend and his wife, it wasn't even going where she wanted it to go, a lot like her life.
"Oh you know it was going down." Hunter said under her breath.
"You just wanted to watch them in action." Christina said in a low tone. Meredith glared at the both of them.
"Yes," She replied in an angry whisper as the elevator doors opened and the couple of Shepherds got off. "I just wanted to bask in their loving ambiance."
"Knew it." Christina replied. The doors were just about to close when Derek's hand shot between them, the glided back open and he got into the elevator.
"I think this is your floor, Dr. Shepherd." Meredith said annoyed, fighting the urge to push him out. The doors closed.
"Look," Derek started, ignoring the fact that Hunter and Christina were in the elevator. "I don't understand why you're treating me like the frigging common cold."
"You don't understand?" Meredith almost yelled. Hunter and Christina pressed themselves on the other side of the elevator trying to be as far away as possible. "Let's start from the beginning shall we? We had a one night stand that turned into a relationship, we go out for, what was it 2 months? And at the end of this two months your wife shows up, who you didn't even tell me about. Then you try to get back together with me, and now you're getting back together with your wife. Now tell me, am I supposed to treat you any other way?"
"Maybe like he's the flu?" Christina piped up, it was Hunter's turn to jab her in the ribs. The elevator doors opened.
"Try AIDS." Meredith said angrily, and walked off of the elevator. Derek Shepherd stood there fazed, Hutner and Christina got off of the elevator and followed Meredith to the on-call room. Hunter turned around the see the elevator doors close on Derek looking hurt and confused.
