A/N: Happy Wednesday, my loves! Here is Episode 2, yes I did say Episode. We figured that Anatomy was so much like Grey's Anatomy we may as well do episodes instead of chapters. Enjoy!
By the time Regina had finished with Emma's rounds the blonde was elbows deep in pie. Ruby knocked on the solid wood door before letting herself in without waiting for an answer. Emma rolled her eyes as this had become common practice for the leggy Gyno specialist.
"I was told to inform you that Blanchard needs a cardio consult for a- pie!" Ruby ran over to where Emma was sitting and grabbed a fork from the counter, leaning forward in an attempt to snag a bite of the baked treat.
"This isn't for you. It's mine, get your hands off." Emma chuckled and pulled it away from her, poking at her hand with the prongs of her own fork.
"But I'm your favorite." Ruby fake pouted, doing her best puppy dog impression.
"Who lied to you?" Emma teased and sat the pie back on the desk, nudging it towards the brunette.
"I did." Ruby smiled and dug her fork into the pie, moaning as she stuck the forkful of flaky crust and still warm apple pieces into her mouth.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is that the 'cardio goddess' I keep hearing about? Isn't she a Mills? And where did she get all that ass from?" Ruby said to Emma as she watched Regina walk by, the younger brunette's attention focused on the chart she was reading.
"Yes, that's my intern. Yes, she's a Mills. I wouldn't call her a 'goddess' until we actually see her with a scalpel and I have no idea where she got any of that from, but you know the rules." She pointed her fork at the other woman in warning.
"Okay, but the rules don't state that I can't stare at her ass. I just can't fuck her, but we all know Zelena's been breaking that rule since she started. So, why can't I break it too?" Ruby inquired, leaning forward for another bite of pie. "Holy shit, this is good. Where did you get this pie?"
"Because, unlike her we would like to keep our jobs. Regina made it, something about baking when she's excited, I think." She shrugged a bit and took another bite of the pie, humming at the taste. Cinnamon had always been one of her favorite flavors in desserts.
"I mean I guess so." Ruby rolled her eyes before she turned to look at the blonde. "She made you a pie? Like, put on an apron and baked it in the oven, made you a pie?" She grinned at the older woman like the Cheshire Cat. A voice from the doorway halted the conversation as they both swiveled to look at the new arrival.
"Okay, . Ms. Williams is all prepped and ready for you in the OR." Regina came over to them with her glasses pushed up atop her head, her hair piled into a neat bun with a few strands hanging free to frame her face.
"Alright, Regina. Thank you. Go get me a cup of coffee and then you may head to lunch. Thank you for the pie by the way." Emma said looking down at the pie and then a stack of papers next to her.
"Thanks love." Ruby winked at her and ate a huge spoonful of pie. "It's delicious."
"It's no problem at all." Regina smiled and blushed at receiving compliments from the heads of two different departments. "How do you like your coffee?"
"Black. No cream but a whole lot of sugar."
"Alright." Regina nodded and walked out of the office, waiting until she was out of sight to have her fangirl moment.
"Okay she's got a nice ass, but she's so innocent Emma." Ruby turned to her friend once she was sure the new intern had gone on her way.
"You don't know that. She could just be really nice. Not all nice people are innocent."
"Yes, I do. She blushed when I said 'thanks love'. She's lucky you're not drunk and at a bar."
"And why is that?"
"Because, you're not as charming when you're intoxicated."
"And you aren't as obnoxious." Emma chuckled "Now get out of my office." Emma pointed to the door.
"I'm taking this with me." Ruby picked up the pie and walked out of the office.
Emma shook her head and rolled her eyes as Ruby left, frowning a bit at having lost her treat for the day.
Regina stood at the coffee machine waiting for the line to die down, realizing she had chosen to fetch coffee for her boss at one of the busiest times of day.
"Hey beautiful" Regina turned around to find Kathryn holding a hot cup of coffee, her brow raised and her eyes lifting to meet Regina's in a way that told her they had been examining something far more interesting a moment before.
"Oh hey, Kat." Regina smiled
"So, how's Swan? I heard she's a hard ass." The blonde took a sip of her coffee and wrinkled her nose before reaching over to grab a few cups of creamer from the cooler nearby.
"She's not that bad. We really haven't had any real conversation other than her saying that I was annoying cute." The brunette shrugged a bit.
"You are though!" Kathryn gasped, squeezing Regina's arm as if to prove a point somehow.
"I am not." Regina chuckled, batting the well manicured nails away from her bicep.
"You are too, but that's good. That means she likes you."
"She does? She doesn't seem to have any interest in teaching me at all. She just kind of says 'here do this', but she never really shows me anything" The taller woman waved her hands as she often did when she talked.
"It's your first day. She'll get more invested in you as time goes on. Just give her a week or two."
"Okay, I believe you."
"What are you here for anyway?" Kathryn looked around at the crowded area they were in.
"Getting Emma coffee and then I'm going to lunch." Regina motioned to the cart ahead of her and rolled her eyes at the fact that the line didn't seem to be moving at all.
"Aww, she has you doing little assist jobs. I like it. It's cute." She smiled "Sit with me at lunch?" The request came out as more of a statement, but the brunette nodded anyways.
"Sure, that sounds good."
"I like you Mills. You're nothing like me which makes me even more interested in you. I'll see you later." Kathryn smiled and walked away with a wave of her hand.
Regina shook her head and looked forward. She reached down to grab the coffee in front of her when someone grabbed it from her.
"Hey! What the hell?"
"Sorry love, seniority" Killian said in a sly voice
"Seniority my ass. I waited in line you didn't. Give me my coffee. Now!" she barked.
"Feisty. I like that in a woman." Killian chuckled keeping his missing hand behind his back as he took a sip of the coffee.
"Screw you." Regina rolled her eyes and grabbed the next one
"I'd love you to." he teased
"Okay, what's your problem?!"
"Nothing I'm just getting acquainted with the cardio goddess that's all."
"Well here." Regina held out her free hand "I'm Regina."
He held out a prosthetic hand covered in a blue glove, "Killian Jones, pleasure to meet you."
Regina gasped and pulled her hand back "You're the asshole everyone's telling me about"
"In the flesh, technically speaking of course." He waved the prosthetic hand a bit before lowering it to his side.
"I should have known." As she started to make Emma's coffee, focusing on the amount of sugar she was adding to the hot beverage.
"You'll learn to love me, darling, it just takes a little time. Trust me."
Regina rolled her eyes "I don't trust you as far as I can throw that fake hand of yours."
Before Killian could respond, a voice bellowed from behind him.
"Jones, let's go. Your coffee break was 15 minutes ago." August said banging his hand against the door. "We aren't paying you to socialize. We're paying you to work."
"Dr. Booth?" Regina asked, a tinge of confusion lacing her voice.
"That's me. Surprised?" The man looked over at her with a raised brow.
"A little, I thought you were a woman. No offense intended, sir."
"None taken, Mills. Best get that coffee wherever it needs to be before it gets cold."
"So did I." Killian sighed and walked back over to him with a grumble.
"Bye bye Killian." Regina teased as August pushed him out of the room.
Regina chuckled to herself before walking out of the coffee room and heading towards Emma's office.
"Here you go , this is for you." Regina handed her the coffee cup before walking to the door.
"Have a good lunch, Mills. I'll see you when you get back." Emma waved her off before looking back down to her desk to continue her work.
Regina made her way through the winding corridors of the hospital until she located the cafeteria, looking around slowly as she made her way past various stations serving everything from salads to burgers and pasta. She spotted Kathryn sitting on a bench, sipping her coffee from earlier and she made her way over, laying down with her head in the blonde's lap.
"What's wrong?" Kat looked down at her in concern, running her fingers over the the brunette's forehead.
"I wanna do something. I can't just do rounds and prep for a whole day. This is so uneventful." Regina sighed and sat up, rubbing her eyes a bit.
"Okay, well let's make it eventful. Who do you think is getting the surgery at the end of this week?" Kathryn took her hand and stood her up, leading her towards the stack of plates hear the beginning of the line.
"Dorothy. She's too focused to not get the surgery." Regina said almost immediately, taking a plate and handing one to Kathryn.
"Oh, is she now?" Kathryn nodded her head in the direction of Ruby and Dorothy across the cafeteria, standing close together. At first glance it would appear to anyone else as nothing more than a casual conversation between friends, but Regina's eyes caught sight of Ruby's hand move to rest on Dorothy's arm before sliding down to her waist and then further south to rest on her ass. Dorothy, for her part, seemed perfectly happy for the attention and remained where she was, leaning a little closer even.
"Oh my god! When did that happen? Did I really miss that much?" Regina gasped and turned to Kat with wide eyes. There was nothing worse than being the last to know something, except maybe being the one caught with your pants down in an on call room.
"Well, let's just say that Dr. Lucas and Dorothy have..." Kathryn thought for a moment about the best way to phrase this to the innocent brunette "history together."
A/N: Ooooh, nice little cliff hanger! Let us know what you think and what kind of "history" Ruby and Dorothy have together. Also, who doesn't love pie?
