Christina was abruptly awoken by the sound of the alarm clock going off. She lifted her head to look at the clock and saw there red blinking lights telling her it was 4:00am.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." She mumbled as she threw the covers over her head and burrowed herself deeper into the bed,

"No, no, no." Burke said as he entered the bedroom. "Time to get up Christina." Burke said as he pulled the covers back to reveal her face.

"I'll get up in a minute. I promise." She said pull the covers back. Burke however, hand securely still on the blanket, wouldn't let her and a slight tug of war ensued between the couple.

Christina finally gave up letting go of the covers and taking her pillow and covering her head with it. Burke couldn't help but smile.

"Christina." He said again.

"Oh Fine!" she said as she hastily got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Burke smiled once again before heading back to the kitchen.

Burke sat at the kitchen table drinking his coffee and reading the sports page when Christina finally rushed in dressed for work.

"You look like crap."

"Thank-you." Christina responded. "That's what covering 3 on-call shifts in a row will do to you. And I wasn't even on-call last night and I still only got 3 hours of sleep."

"Sorry." He said smirking. "I made breakfast."

"No time." She responded as she poured coffee into her thermos.

"Yeah I figured. That's why I put it in a to-go bag." He said as he held up the bag for her. Christina stopped pouring to look over at him. She smiled as she walked over to the table and grabbed the bag.

"How considerate of you." She said. "Thank-you." She bent down to give him a kiss. "What time you coming in?" she asked grabbing her keys off the table.

"I'll be leaving in a few minutes."

"Ok see you there!" she said heading out the door.


SGH 3rd Floor Nurse's Station

Izzie, George, Alex, Meredith and Christina were all at the nurse's station waiting for Bailey to start rounds. Christina sat with her head resting on the desk. No one had paid much attention to her until she began snoring.

"Christina!" Meredith hissed from where she stood on the other side of the desk.

Burke was walking by as this was going on and took one look at his girlfriend and began shaking his head. Meredith's attempt had failed and she looked to him for help as the other interns looked on amused and Christina continued to snore. He slowly walked over to where she was seated and knelt down next to her.

"Christina." He whispered in her ear as he shook her gently.

"Burke not now, I'm tired and I'm not in the mood." She responded sleepily and returned to sleep. All the interns dissolved into laughter, while Burke visibly blushed. He quickly decided on a different approach. He got up really close to her ear and screamed, "Dr. Yang!". This jolted her out of her chair and caused her to yell "Ready for surgery!" Everyone began laughing even harder as Christina slowly got herself together.

"That was mean." She whispered accusingly to Burke who stood next to her showcasing a smug smile.

"I was thinking I could make you dinner tonight, and maybe we could rent a movie or something. You know spend some time together." Burke whispered to Christina as Bailey rounded the corner to the nurse's station with a young man on her tail. Christina was looking down at a chart as she answered.

"Can I choose the movie?" she asked without looking up.

"I guess I could live with that." He responded.

"You got yourself a deal." She said closing the chart and smiling up at him. She was interrupted by Bailey's voice, but didn't bother taking her gaze off the man in front of her.

"Everyone, we have a new transfer assigned to me, this is Devon, I'm hoping you guys can take the time to show him around today, show him how we do it here at Seattle Grace." Christina's head shot away from Burke at the announcement and she fixed her stare at the new intern. She immediately made eye contact with Devon and without even thinking grabbed hold of Burke's hand. Burke looked down at her confused but she kept her eye's on Devon and her vice-grip on him through Bailey's introduction.

"Devon, this is Izzie, George, Meredith, Alex, and the girl in the back grabbing one of our attending is Christina." Bailey said casting a weird look in Christina's direction. Bailey's words broke Christina out of her reverie and she immediately broke eye contact with Devon and let go of Burke's hand as if she had been burnt. Burke continued to look at her with a mix of confusion and concern.

"You'll have to excuse her, she hasn't been feeling well this week." Burke awkwardly explained. Everyone continued to look on in silence until Devon decided to break the silence.

"Christina and I have actually met." This announcement drew many curious looks, especially from Burke whose concern continued to build. "We went to medical school together back in L.A." he explained never taking his eyes off of Christina who stood there motionless with what could only be described as a completely shocked expression on her face. "It's great to see you again Christina." He said as he moved forward to hug her.

As he approached her, arms wide, her face became panicked and she quickly side-stepped him causing her to bump into Burke and slightly lose her balance until Burke steadied her with his strong arms. Christina looked up at Burke and then back to Devon and quickly took off down the hall slipping into an elevator before anyone had time to react. Everyone was once again silent, trying to decipher for themselves what was going on, and expectantly looking at Devon. He blushed slightly and said, "She's obviously overcome with joy at my sight."

"What the hell is going on here?" Bailey finally burst with impatience. "The interns I have now are already handful enough, the last thing I need is to be transferring in more drama." She spat this out in annoyance at the turn her morning was already taking. "Well?" she encouraged when Devon remained silent.

Burke and the other interns were also eagerly awaiting an explanation. Burke had wanted to chase after Christina immediately but he knew from experience that he needed to give her some time to cool off.

"Well, It's not a big deal but…." Devon began uncomfortably "Chrissy and I used to date in medical school."

"Chrissy!" Burke spat out, drawing stares from everyone in the group. Everyone except for Devon understood his irritation. Devon just shot him a questioning look and continued. "Yeah, we dated for about 3 ½ years, but it ended badly. I'd rather not get into it."

Burke had heard enough and took off towards the same elevators that Christina had taken off to a few minutes earlier. All the interns stared after him as Bailey spoke.

"Is this going to be a problem Dr. Savage? Should I have you placed with another resident?"

"No ma'am! I'll talk to Chrissy, I'm sure that we can be adult about this."

"Mhmmm, somehow I doubt that." She said skeptically as she began walking away. "All right lets start rounds."
