Chapter 15
Hey guys! Sorry for not updating this past 2 months, ever since January I've been out during weekends, my shift from work changed too so I don't have time to squeezed in updating. But I have every intention of finishing this by at least May. I already did some few chapters and just waiting for Derek to show up too before posting. Anyways, nice to see the kids in the latest episode, the way he talks about the kids. I am hoping that we could see more about MerDer this coming episodes. Also, sad about Deluca dying, imagining Mer waking up from Covid and finds out about Andrew.
Appreciate people leaving some reviews! I enjoy reading them!
MEREDITH
I yelled on top of my lungs that I'm pretty sure the whole household heard us but I don't really care at this point, after few minutes of panic attacks Derek manage to calm me down.
"Mer, you had shots." He reminded me. That's when it hit me and made me remember that I did had a shot late last year. "Yeah, you pretty much announce either you want more and we are out of condoms or, we forgot condoms and knowing you friends? I'm thinking the first one." He chuckled as he picked up his pants. "I'll get my clothes okay?" He said as he bent down to kiss me. I nodded in response and picked up his pillow and hugged it tightly, the smell made me smile, his scent.
After him leaving the room, I picked up my red robe and went straight to the bathroom to full the tab and fixed the temperature. I was brushing my hair when Izzie without knocking went inside and went straight to the bathroom.
ve
"Sooooo, I bumped to McDreamy in the hallway. Must say Mer, you weren't kidding when you said, you couldn't stop thinking about it, I mean, the whole house felt it." Izzie said in a grumpy voice.
"Were we that loud" I asked.
"Mer, I grew up on the trailer, so when I say loud, you guys were loud."
"What time did you got home?" I tried to change the subject.
"I'm happy for you Mer, I just hope he does not crush you again." She said not answering my question.
"Thanks Izz." I just said when we heard the door opened and Derek entered.
"Well, I'm gonna go now and eat breakfast. I cooked, I'll leave some for you guys, given that you need the energy for today from all the activities you did last night." She said and left the room. Derek smirked when he heard that as he placed his overnight bag in my couch.
"So? Shower?" He asked, as he stripped down his pants with his boxers and run after me and carry me to the shower as I squeal and giggle.
After over an hour we were in the kitchen and eating our breakfast when George entered the room with his jacket on his hand not looking up.
"Hey Mer, I know you renovated the house, but maybe I don't know… add sound proof?" He said still not looking up as he put coffee on his cup. "I mean you were loud before but now?" Now he looked up from his gaze and he know face to face with Derek who is eating his breakfast. I watched George's face changing from goofy smile to horror to confusion.
"Dr. Shepherd!" He exclaimed. He looked at me in confusion and turned again to Derek who is smiling.
"Good Morning Dr. O'Malley." Derek greeted back.
"You are here! In our house! In our kitchen!"
"Yes I'm here." Derek stood up from his sit. "Coffee Mer?" He asks me I nodded in response and watch him picked up two coffee glasses and pour some on both.
"What the hell Mer?" George hisses in whisper making sure Derek does not hear it.
"Relax George. Derek and I have been together now for weeks. In time you'll know. But apparently it is now the time."
"What? I thought you and Wil are together? For weeks? What the hell?! No offense Dr. Shepherd"
"Non-taken."
"So it was you guys from last night?"
"Hmmm" Derek cleared his throat and sat and placed a cup of coffee in front of me.
"Seriously, how many people heard us?"
"Alex heard you too, I hitch with him on the way home last night." George said as munch his food.
"Great." I exclaimed and stood up to wash the dishes.
"George, could you please try not to tell this to others yet? Mer and I want it to be private, we will tell Webber but the gossip, I just want to give want she wants and needs, and if this is, I don't want to screw it up, co could you please tell this to Alex too?"
"Oh, this is serious?" George asks him.
"Pretty much." I said.
"Yeah" Derek said in unison .
"OOooookay.I have to go and visit Mom, I'll see you guys at the hospital" George said and left the room.
Third POV
Meredith and Derek arrived at the hospital from different cars, parked side by side. They were walking side by side not talking but smiling widely, they were waiting for the elevator to arrive when Cristina stood beside Meredith.
"You had sex." Cristina said in dead pan and slightly looked at Mer's left side.
"Shut up!"
Meredith could hear Derek chuckling silently at her left side. When Derek elevator opened, the chuckling stopped, she looked up and saw Rose standing at the back side. Cristina is the one chuckling now.
"Oh God, this is super awkward." She whispered in Meredith's but not really a whisper.
Derek cleared his throat when he heard Cristina, when they arrived at the fourth floor hop off and Cristina and Meredith walks out, Meredith not looking at Derek, trying to avoid his eyes.
"Well that was super awkward, like I can feel the tension and I could slice it with a scalpel."
"Yeah, I know, don't remind me."
They changed into scrubs and started walking to the station with their interns, Meredith saw Nathan standing and talking with Nurse Debbie, with two cups of coffee, while Derek walking towards the station with two cups of coffee too.
"Well, this days seems to get better and better." Meredith sighed from the sarcastic comments of Cristina and stood beside Nathan who handed her the cup of coffee.
"Good Morning Dr. Grey, Coffee?" Meredith accepted the coffee and saw Derek stopped from walking and looked at the hand of Meredith holding the coffee from Nathan. She heard Derek cleared his throat and offered the coffee to Bailey who is watching the scene unfolding.
"Coffee Dr. Bailey?"
"Is this Mocha Latte?" Bailey said raising her eyebrow.
"Nope, just black with one cube of sugar." Meredith heard, just how she likes her coffee.
"Oops sorry." Nathan said beside her.
"It's okay."
"Dr. Grey, I believe we have patients from the clinical trial to see?"
They were walking silently until they reached the patients room, Dr. Nelson waiting for them and Meredith introduce them.
"Dr. Grey, is this him?" Betty greeted them her parents helping her to lay the bed.
"Him?" Derek asks charmingly.
"Oh, she has a pet name for you."
"The Brain butcher."
"Oh." Derek exclaimed.
"Beth! I'm sorry." Beth's mother said.
"Oh no, that's fine. That's us." He said including Dr. Nelson.
"Hi, Dr. Shepherd." Derek offered his hand to Beth's both parents and shook it. "Pleasure."
Derek, offered his hand to Beth but her right hand is now working due to the side effects of the brain tumor.
"Oh, the hand's just for show." Beth reached for his hand using her left hand and shook on it. "So come on, tell me how this works." She continued.
"You're are going to inject a live virus into her tumor" Beth's Dad said. Derek and Dr. Nelson agreed.
"And that's safe?" Her mom's asked.
"The virus is still in testing stages. I've made some adjusted, Dr. Nelson too, that would hopefully destroy the tumor." Derek finished.
"Hey, Tumor destroyer. I like that."
"Has this ever worked before?"
"No." When Derek couldn't reply. Meredith but in to answer Beth's mom question.
"So I'm your lab rat."
"Beth.'' Her father trying to stop her from talking.
"I'm just saying, my name will go down in the annals of some book. That's kinda cool.
"Not if I beat you to it." Voice from the outside said.
They all turned around and saw a lean white guy standing in the door.
"Oh, this our other clinical trial patient."
"Jeremy." Beth said smilingly widely.
"You didn't call." Jeremy said as he enters the room.
"They know each other?" Meredith asks the parents. Meredith saw how the parents change from worry to horrify while looking at Jeremy and Beth.
"I thought you backed out." Jeremy continued.
"Aww, as if I'd break our pact?" Beth said as now Jeremy standing her side. "Come here." Beth, reached out for his face and kissed one another.
"They know each other." Derek said as he turned around.
They left the room with the parents and let Jeremy and Beth talked inside.
"What is he doing here?" Beth's mom asks.
"Oh, his surgery is this afternoon." Dr. Nelson said.
"I knew she didn't find this clinical trial on her own. Bizarre experimental surgery, it had to be Jeremy."
"They met when they were both being treated at Mayo last year. They went through chemo, radiation, a support group." Her father finished her mother's sentence.
"You don't want them to be together?" Meredith asks them.
"Look, we like Jeremy. He's good enough kid, and I feel for him that he's going through this alone, but we worry about Beth. She thinks that she's in love with him. We just don't want her getting so attached to someone that might…"
"Die." Derek finishes.
"If something happens, if he doesn't survive, Beth won't want to live. She's my only child. She has to want to fight to stay alive."
They all nodded at the parent's sentiment and knows that it is a difficult time for them, that maybe Beth might not want to live if Jeremy dies, Meredith looked at Derek and think of the possibility if that happens to her.
"I'm going to assign my interns for today and I'll meet you at the lab." Meredith said to Derek as they watch Dr. Nelson leave.
"Yeah, sure." Meredith sighed. This morning they were in a happy bubble, finally things are going smoothly, but for some reason, after the incident in the nurse station, Derek has somewhat become cold, she know she didn't took well with Rose incident, but what does he expect? She's trying.
Few minutes later, holding the files for the clinical trial, when she bumped into George and Izzie. She laid the folders and files and instructed her interns with Lexie joining in so fix the papers patients and virus formula they will going to use.
"Every page goes in every set of documents, miss one, and you're on scut for a month. These are the most promising trial patients. I don't want any mistakes." Meredith said the last workd as she leans towards Lexie's ears.
"Smartass." Lexie slyly said back to her.
"Last night you were very loud Mer, even George can't sleep." Izzie started.
"Yeah, I suggested to sound proof her room."
"Maybe, asks her boyfriend to soundproof the room as he is obviously causing the noice."
"Screaming orgasm." Cristina butted in from Meredith's behind.
"What did I say about shutting the help up about this?"
"She's crazy." George said pertaining to Izzie, who is obviously had a lack of sleep.
"Who's crazy?" Alex appearing on Meredith's left side. "Oh, Mer's crazy last night, you and Wil are so getting on in, I even though that something's wrong cause all the things falling on the floor. I thought something's wrong, I was literally about to knock the hell out when I heard her scream." Alex finishes as he chuckled.
"Oh, not just screaming orgasm, more mind blowing things falling from on the floor orgasm." Cristina butted in.
"I'm just helping Meredith collate, I'm on my way to check our patients."
"Take you time."
Meredith's face now all red as she knows all the nurses from the floor could hear them.
"We've had this discussion, and decided it's not appropriate to call Izzie crazy. " She looked at Izzie and smiled. "She's spirited." She finished.
"Spirited." George joined.
"I'm not crazy, you are crazy, and do it somewhere else if you are going to be that loud. Go back when you fixed the room!"
After few minutes, she assigned her interns and collected the files and went to the Lab to meet Derek. She entered it and saw Dr. Nelson, Derek, and Rose looking at the screen.
"The Cytoplasmic viral particles in the malignant cells but not in the normal tissue…"Dr. Nelson said to Rose, she looked at Derek who is standing behind them just looking at the floor when Meredith entered.
"Thank you for answering my questions, I'm just so amaze on what you guys are doing, helping people who thinks they don't have a chance." Rose said still looking at Derek.
Derek looked at to his right and saw Meredith standing with open mouth, she raised her brows at Derek asking him with her eyes on what is she doing here.
"Hey, combining the FR190 and trichostatin increases the expression of the virus in the tumor." Derek started to Meredith, ignoring her obvious question as it is not appropriate to answer her at the moment.
"Did you introduce them during the M phase of the cell cycle?"
"Exactly." Derek replied now smiling after all the ignoring phase he did earlier.
"Champagne with our name written on it."
"She understands how brilliant you are Derek." Rose said.
Ignoring what Rose just said, Meredith explained the patient.
"Okay, so Jeremy West, is patient number 12, and patient 13, Beth Monroe. Jeremy is suffering from grand mal seizure, and Beth is paralyzed on the right side."
"They are both young, which makes them both resilient." Dr. Nelson said.
The all left the room leaving Rose as they talked about Jeremy's case and what best possible outcome and what they should inject on him.
Meredith is inside Beth's room preparing her labs as she was listening to Beth and Jeremy's conversation.
"Hey, I forgot to tell you. Guess who called me. Carrie from our support group. She didn't sound so good."
"She didn't make it, her husband told me that they tried radiation on last time and she just didn't make it."
"At least we don't have to worr about that. You know?" Beth reach out for Jeremy's hand.
"This surgery will work. Okay? And if doesn't, at least will die quick"
"Dr. Grey, I thought we talked about changing Beth's room. It isn't sunny enough in here." Her mother said.
"The room is find, and it's right down the hall from Jeremy."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Monroe, I checked and there isn't enough room available, not in a private room. Meredith said and winked at Beth who is looking at her.
Suddenly Jeremy started seizing, Meredith asks for Beth for a pillow as she held it against Jeremy's head.
"We need a new sets of lab here before surgery."Dr. Nelson said as he leave the room.
George entered the room with hands full of papers.
"Hey, the chief wants to talk to one of you who is in charge of the clinical trial."
"Okay." Meredith said.
Meredith went to the chief's office and knocked.
"You want to see me?" Meredith greeted.
"I got a call from the IRB. The national board that oversees and reviews clinical trials. You've had 11 deaths. They're giving you one last patient. You get it today under the wire and hope for the best. AT midnight if you lose him they're gonna shut you down. Period." He said as he stood up and leave the room.
Meredith absent mindedly walks towards outside and breathe. She knows she had to tell this to Dr. Nelson and Derek.
She asks for the nurse to page him at the resident's lounge. She started telling him what the chief said to her, she saw Derek face fall.
"They thinks I failed?"
"You haven't failed yet."
"I failed Mer, I'll sign and discharge Beth."
"You can't send back home, you have your last shot. You have until Midnight."
"Jeremy's surgery is today."
"Then we move him up and Beth's this afternoon. Fit them in before midnight."
"If I get the dosage right."
"And you are close. You haven't failed."
"Are we going to far here? Is my ego to big here?"
"Your ego is in the right amount of size."
"Two patients, bend the rules without breaking them, you'll clear it with the chief?"
"Yeah." She nodded eagerly. Derek is about to leave when she grabs his arm. "We are okay right?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry about this morning, I got jealous, we started amazing this morning then with Rose in the elevator, then I got jealous with the coffee, then I feel like jerk. I'm sorry."
"You know you have nothing to be jealous about Nathan right? He is just a friend."
"I know, and he gets you."
"Yeah because we somehow have the same situation."
"Like?"
"Our love of our life is out there but we can't have them. And now, for him at least."
"Okay, and I'm sorry about earlier, she was just there when I got in. I…. didn't know, believe me."
"I believe you." She squeezed his arm and nodded as she turn away to prepare Jeremy's surgery.
After preparing for Jeremy, she met with Derek to go to Beth's room.
"I got Jeremy's labs back. And he's good to go."
You got chief's sign off on that?" Derek said as they walk and turned and saw Beth trying to walk out side her room.
"Where are you going?" Derek said as Beth about to fall.
"My mom went to call my grandma and my dad went to the cafeteria. There wasn't a wheelchair in my room. I just want to see Jeremy. Please." Derek and Meredith placed her in a wheelchair as she said that. "I don't want the seizure to be the last time I see him. Please."
"Okay, we'll lead you to him." Meredith pushed her to her room to talk her down from panicking.
"Am I going to get to be alone with Jeremy?" Beth asks Meredith while she fixes her hair. Derek sitting at the other side of the table. "I mean, alone alone?"
"Alone?" Meredith asks as she looks up to Derek whose giving her a lopsided smirk, knowing exactly what Beth means.
"We've never done it, either of us. We've been waiting until we both were tumor free, but surgery, anything could happen. We can do it, right?" She looks up to Derek confirming if they could do it without repercussion of the action. "It won't kill us or anything?"
"No, no." Derek stood up from his sit and walks towards them, sitting in front of Beth, while Meredith sit on the other side of the table.
"I mean, you've done it, right?" She asks them innocently.
"With each other?" Derek looks at Meredith and smirked.
"I've …. He's done it, and I've done it." Meredith rattle in response now not looking at Deek as she knows lust suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"How was it like? Was it magical?" Beth persistently asks them.
"Yes." Derek replied now looking at Beth.
"It can be."
"With the right person."
"Jeremy is my right person, I think if you found the right person that would be it. You can do anything, and knowing that I have this tumor? I can't imagine being with anyone else but with him." Beth shared. Now Derek looking at the ground thinking of the past on how he was able to do that to Meredith.
Here is a teenager, she knows what it should be, while him, tortured himself just to prove something to Meredith, gave them months of heartache because of what he did.
They lead Beth to Jeremy's room and left her there to give them privacy on what they are about to do.
They were both standing in the door, looking out for possible interruptions for the two.
"Have I ever told you how sorry I am for what I did? For giving up?" Derek said as they both leaned in the door.
"Yes you did." Meredith smirking at Derek.
"For how sorry I am for not sticking up with you when you needed it the most? When that time you understood me staying with Addison and yet I run the next problem we had?"
"I understand it Derek, I know why you did it." She hold his left arm and squeezed it assuring him that she understands and that is all in the past.
"I love you." Derek said in whisper as he leans towards her.
Meredith smiled widely at what he said.
"I have never in my life gotten a patient laid, much less two patients."
"It's really sweet."
"We are pimps. Yentas" She giggled at what He said.
"They're so in love."
"Oh yeah."
"It's all new and fresh and exciting."
"I'm never been a fan of new. I like to know the person, their bodies, what makes them moan. Your moan, your screams, you begging. I love those. I love you." He whisper the last two sentences to her making sure she can only hear it.
Meredith blushed by what he just said, flashing back all they did last night and this morning in the shower. She was about to reply when she saw Beth's parents walking towards Jeremy's room.
"Something happen? Beth isn't in her room." Mrs. Monroe said.
"Oh, well, that's because I had my intern take her down for a pre-op MRI."
"Thank God, I thought she is somewhere lying in pain." Mr. Monroe said.
"No, she's not in any pain." Derek respond which earned him a side push from Meredith.
"We should go to the conference room, there's a lot of paperwork you haven't filled out yet." Meredith lead them to the conference room where papers are.
"I'll be here, doing my things." Derek watched Meredith leave with the parents trying not to laugh.
Meredith left the parents still doing the clinical trial paperwork when she bumped with Nathan.
"Hey, how's your da going?" He asks Meredith.
"Still haven't have my lunch yet and I'm about to do an operation with my clinical trial."
"Want me to buy you sandwich? I'm about to meet Owen for lunch." He offered.
"I already bought granola bars to snuck in for us, and eat it real quick, Derek still haven't had his lunch yet."
"Oh yeah, you and Shepherd, heard from Yang all other gang already knows about it?" We are now both standing in front of the elevator waiting for it to open.
"Yeah, pretty much, just so you know, I wouldn't be here without your help Nathan."
"And I wouldn't be here without you." Nathan offered a hug to Meredith which she returned. He kissed her forehead as the elevator opened. She nodded and entered it.
People don't know the story of Nathan and Meredith, how they help each other these past couple of months from just getting through the day to being where they are right now. And she knows people put malice with their relationship. But she just ignores them which is where she is good at now that she realize it.
"Bye." Nathan said as the doors close.
Meredith saw Derek still standing in front of the door, for over an hour now. He smiled when she saw her walking towards him and shook his head.
After asking a few joking remarks with the two. Derek told Beth that they have to take Jeremy to the OR now.
"Okay." Jeremy said. "Okay. So I… I'll see you after."
"I'll see you after the surgery." Beth agreed still holding Jeremy's hand, as he was about to lay on the bed Beth pulled him.
"Wait, Jer.. What if you die?"
"I won't."
"What if I die.?"
"You won't."
"Okay, but.. You changed my life, Jeremy West. You made it better, you made it brighter, full of joy… and if I die…"
"Don't you dare die, Okay? We're not finished yet. I'm not yet finished loving you. I will never be finished loving you." Jeremy said to Beth as he kissed her.
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead. Get our head chopped open. I'm right behind you." Jeremy nodded to Beth as he laid in the gurney. Beth wiping the tears away. "Do not kill him." Beth said to the both.
"Are you nervous?" Meredith asks Derek as they fixed the virus.
"I have you…" he said in whisper. "And my ego to keep me warm."
"Can't you feel it?"
"What?"
"The Majesty of lifesaving."
"You became an optimist." He said matter factly.
Dr. Nelson, preparing the Drill and Derek, now on support as he entered the virus into the head when BP started to drop.
After a few minutes of trying to revive Jeremy, the all know inside the OR that he is gone.
Derek looked at Mereith, she can see tears in his eyes as he removes his head gear and called the time of death, the love of Beth Monroe which they both feel the lost.
"Time of death, 11:47." Derek finished and walks out the room
Meredith follow Derek, into the scrub room, people now fixing Jeremy's body.
"Derek…"
"We lost him Mer. We failed over and over, I know you expect greatness for me, but I don't think I can do it. I feel like I'm just killing people. This clinical trial is making me a failure. And I feel like I'm failing you over and over and over again."
"Derek, you are not. This is the part of it, we will lose, and I know the lost is great, the lost of life can't be return, but we have to give it to the people who sacrifice their life to get where we are. They don't deserve us to stop. We owe it to them to try."
Derek nodded and listen to Meredith. Few minutes after they both agreed to visit Beth's room to tell her the news.
As they enter the room, Beth already knows the news they are about to bring in.
"Don't say anything. You don't have to say anything." Beth said
"I'm so sorry." Meredith started.
"Don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say anything! Don't you say anything to me!" Beth becoming hysterical. After her parents making her calm down. Dr. Nelson started explaining what happened in the OR with Jeremy.
After explaining to them, Derek started talking.
"Given the situation, I would understand if you didn't want to proceed with the surgery." Meredith looks up at Derek questioningly, Derek looks at her and shakes his head.
"But uhm… we did learn from Jeremy, and the formulation of the cocktail will be adjusted."
"We have not yet had a positive outcome. And we would understand Beth, if you change your mind. It is still up to you Beth."
"I want to surgery, I want the surgery today."
Derek nodded and looks at Meredith. Meredith understand the look and proceeded to prepare Beth to the OR.
"Beth, we're not letting ou have the surgery, because you want to die with Jeremy."
"If I go home, I die. In a few week, few days."
"We don't want to lose you." Her mom replied.
"You won't, 'cause I'm not yet finished. Daddy, he loved me. Jeremy really loved me. And he'd be so mad if—if I just gave up. Please do the surgery today. Mom, I have to do the surgery."
They both leave as Meredith finished preparing Beth for surgery, Dr. Nelson left to aemnd the calculation of the virus.
"How could not encourage Beth to do the surgery?"
"Meredith, she needs to know everything in the table. We have to give her options."
"Okay, but Derek, this is it. Don't give up on this." Derek nodded not looking at her.
They are now in the scrub room. Derek being silent. After scrubbing, Meredith left Derek to join Dr. Nelson prepare the virus they adjusted earlier.
Derek entered the room, Nurse Rose, handed him his surgical towel as he walks towards Beth who is not lying on the gurney about to sleep.
"You don't have to do this." Derek said to Beth.
"What are you scared?"
"I am."
"Me too. So let's just… Leap. Okay?" Derek nodded smilingly.
"Okay."
After the surgery, Beth is asleep, Derek and Meredith lookin at her stats, Dr. Nelson went home.
"Derek, he is still alive. This might be it. We got this far."
"For how long?" He replied. "Have dinner, you haven't had you lunch yet, we only had granola earlier."
"Eat with me, you haven't had you proper lunch yet too."
"I'll stay with her."
"No, when Beth wakes up, she needs us to be alert. SO we will eat together and stay with her together. Okay?" Meredith said to Derek and pulled his hand and walks towards the cafeteria.
They got their food when Izzie sits down while munching her granola bar.
"Alex, asks me to cover him for the rest of the day, and this night, Ava, was in the ER. She almost die Mer."
"She what?!"
"She slashed her wrist." Izzie said.
"Where's Alex?"
"I talked to him, I uuhh, I entered Ava to the psych. She needs it. He went home, and I need to go home Mer, and I don't have a car, so can I borrow your car? Derek can drive you home or Nathan. Please, he needs someone to be with him right now."
"Okay, they are in my cubby, under my clothes." Izzie said her goodbyes and went home.
After finishing their food, Meredith went straight to Beth's room to check on her. When she arrived her parents are watching her.
"Why isn't she still awake?" Mrs. Monroe asks.
"Sometimes brain surgery could take lot in the body, we just have to wait."
"But she cannot wake up?"
Meredith ordered scans and MRI to her intern, when she got the result, she placed it under the lights when Rose entered.
"Are those Beth's films?" She asks Meredith.
"Yes, these are from two days ago and this is today. Would you hand me the calipers, please?" She asks Rose.
Rose went around her and handed the calipers. Meredith check the height and width of the tumor. And serious face turns into bright smile.
"This one is smaller than that one. The tumor's shrinking, the virus is working."
"Oh my god! Congratulations on your major medical breakthrough." Rose said as she leaves the room. "Stuff of legends."
She smiled at what Rose said and quickly went to her cubby to change to street clothes. When she entered the lounge she saw Cristina reading some journals.
She stripped of in front of Cristina, putting on her jeans and red long sleeves, fixing her hair and getting her things.
