A/N: Here we are! The much anticipated Episode 3! We left you hanging with that little display between Ruby and Dorothy. Who else could be hiding love affairs? Let's find out!

"A history? Isn't that against hospital policy?" Regina asked, brown eyes widened in amazement that the leggy brunette and one of her fellow interns could have a past strong enough for them to both risk their jobs. She glances back at the couple as they leaned close to talk quietly, showing no concern for where they were or the people around them.

"Oh, completely, but they had a whole relationship before Dorothy even applied to be an intern here." The blonde followed her line of sight to the couple, tilting her head a bit. "I guess they're kind of cute."

"How do you know all of this?" The brunette asked, turning away from the blatant PDA and began making her way towards the panini station she had spotted on her way in, the thought of a warm, crisp pressed sandwich loaded mozzarella and spinach sounded divine right now.

"I know everything." Kathryn glanced sideways at her with a smirk. "Everything." She reached one of the coolers and grabbed one of the chilled glass bottles labeled Teavana. Regina eyed the beverage before grabbing one with a different color seal on the lid, peach green tea sounded healthy enough.

"Good to know." She murmured, smiling at the gentleman behind the counter. "Hello, can I please get a chicken caprese panini, please? Thank you." She turned back to the blonde who was perusing the menu with pursed lips.

"What sounds better, the cobb salad or the tuna melt? I'm really not feeling salad today. I'm getting the tuna." The blonde hummed softly before placing her order at a separate counter, turning to wait for the petite brunette to catch up.

"So now what? Do we just keep it to ourselves?" Both women stopped to select a container of fruit before making their way to pay for their lunches.

"Yes. If the chief finds out the interns are fucking the residents then he'll give us a speech and probably switch our majors." Blue eyes rolled towards the ceiling before meeting chocolate ones again. "We can't have that, now can we?"

"Fine. I won't say anything, but it's only because I'm new and I'm trying not to make enemies on my first day." She grabbed her tray and followed the taller woman out into the main dining area, her eyes scanning for a table.

"Well, Dorothy hates everyone, so don't take it personally. It's the residents that you really don't want to make enemies with. They can ruin a career before it even starts." The words were said easily but the truth in them didn't go unnoticed.

"Noted" Regina murmured, shaking her head a little to stave off the chill that had just skittered down her back. "Let's find somewhere to sit."

"Over here ladies " Jefferson waved his hand in the air signaling them to come over. Regina turned to give Kathryn a look before noticing that Kathryn had already started walking over to him.

"Hey Jeff" Kathryn said sitting on the opposite side of him as Regina took a place in front of him, settling her napkin in her lap.

"So did you see Dorothy swallowing 's face?" Jefferson asked, plucking a french fry from Kathryn's plate and wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. "No mystery there."

"Oh yeah we saw the whole thing, groping included." The blonde replied, snatching the fry back and popping it in her mouth, sticking her tongue out at the offended look on Jefferson's face.

"Gross" Regina shook her head and started eating, lifting her eyes when she realized the opposite end of the table had fallen silent, finding two pairs of eyes studying her like a science experiment. "What?"

"Either she's really straight or she's a textbook." Jefferson said finally, shaking his head as he turned back to his chicken salad, spearing a portion of the leafy greens along with a strip of chicken.

"There's no way she's straight. Not a chance. Have you seen her with Dr. Swan? It's like watching a school girl crushing on her teacher." The blonde shook her head,pointing her fork at Regina. "No, there's no way."

"I am not crushing on my teacher!" Heat flamed in olive cheeks as the rebuttal left pink lips, brown eyes flicking between the two accusing gazes in front of her. "I'm not!"

"You so are. You made her a pie. A whole pie!" Kathryn waved her fork around, narrowly missing poking Jefferson in the cheek. "No one just makes a pie for no reason. That was a crush pie."

"Well I technically didn't make it for her, I just made it. She just happened to be the one to receive it. It doesn't prove anything aside from the fact that I like to bake." The brunette argued, popping a grape in her mouth.

"It proves everything." Was the only response that came from the smirking blonde.

"Whatever. I'm not a textbook." She grumbled, spearing a strawberry and chewing it harder than necessary.

"Okay then what do you have against interns sleeping with their residents?" Jefferson challenged, grinning at her as he chased a cherry tomato around his plate.

"It's just wrong. You shouldn't sleep with your boss. It goes against everything!" The brunette sputtered, her fork clattering on the tray as she picked up her tea, pulling off the seal and twisting the cap off.

"Well, technically, I'm sleeping with someone else's boss." Kathryn supplied helpfully, drawing shocked looks from both of her table mates. "So, not the same thing, right?"

"Go Kat!" Jeff high fived her with a wide grin. "Who is it? Oh! Is it the cutie in Radiology?"

"Wait, what?! You're sleeping with a resident?" Regina gawked at her friend in disbelief.

" , the blue eyed one in Trauma. So cute. He's dating Dr. Blanchard from Peds, supposedly. That's what she says anyways but she doesn't seem one hundred percent there if you ask me." The blonde made a circular motion with her finger beside her head before shrugging and returning to her food.

"Wait, so you're sleeping with Nolan who's dating Blanchard?" Jefferson clarified with a furrowed brow as if he were attempting to do a difficult math problem in his head.

"Yep" Kathryn nodded "Well, slept with. We're not really like, a thing."

"Kathryn, the home wrecker. I can see it now." Jefferson held his hands up as if framing a shot for a photograph and cackled wildly.

"Shut up, Hatter." she chuckled, throwing a fry at him and finishing the last of her tea.

"Wait, so is everyone sleeping with someone they aren't supposed to?" Regina asked in confusion, the look on her face a mixture of concern and astonishment.

"No really, everyone has their own set of problems. Like Lacey, she partied her way through medical school and somehow was still smart enough to pass." Kathryn replied, leaning back in her chair .

"That's not really a problem. That's just poor decision making." The brunette pointed out, pushing her empty plate away.

"You didn't let me finish" Kathryn pointed an accusing finger at her. "Her older sister Belle wasn't an intern at 24 like Lacey is. She took an extra year off after high school because she was in a 'serious relationship' with her ex boyfriend and she thought they were going to get married. That didn't happen. So, after that whole thing she decided to go to medical school. Although Belle is now the head of the Neuro ward, she's still got a year less of medical training than her sister will have." She shrugged a bit, examining her nails to make sure she hasn't chipped any of them.

"So sibling rivalry?"

"Kind of. They used to be super close but now they aren't as much anymore. Like Graham said before, she's a wild child. She really likes to party and Belle just doesn't see that as a respectable medical intern." The blonde supplied, reaching over to steal one of the remaining cherries from Regina's fruit cup.

"Wow, you really do know everything, don't you?"

"It's best to always be prepared, sweetie. Know all the players of the game and most importantly, know their weaknesses."

"Hey little sis, Kat, Jeff." Graham said as he and Neal sat down on either side of Regina,

"Graham" Jeff smirked and continued eating, resting his cheek against his hand.

"We were just talking about everyone sleeping with their bosses" Kathryn supplied helpfully, smiling coyly "Or other people's bosses, as the case may be."

"Ah, the topic of the day. It's only a matter of time before Gold finds out." Graham hummed around a mouthful of beef and bun, taking care to keep his beard neat and clean.

"True. He can't fire all of us for sleeping together, though. He should have thought of that before hiring young interns and hot surgeons." Kathryn shrugged as if it was an obvious thing to consider when hiring new staff members.

"Preach" Jeff chirped in agreement, stealing one of Regina's grapes and tossing it into her mouth, his eyes widening as he spotted Dorothy heading towards them.

Every set of eyes at the table followed his gaze towards the brunette, at least three pairs of eyebrows rising.

"Hey Dot." Jefferson grinned at the taller woman like the cat that ate the canary.

"Hey guys. Have you seen the surgery board? It's completely clear. There's not a single thing on it and it's kind of freaking me out." Dorothy motioned behind her back in the vague direction of the surgery floor, taking a seat beside Jefferson.

"Well tomorrow is Killmen's Day." Kathryn supplied helpfully, pointing a carrot stick at the other woman as if to make a point. "It's going to be crazy busy and they're going to need all eight ORs prepped and ready."

"What? What is Killmen's Day?" Regina looked between her friends in confusion, brows furrowed in concern.

"Killmen's is a bar nearby. Basically, they hold a bike race through Boston and the first 20 people back to the bar get free drinks for the year, but it's through a subway and people always tend to get hurt. So the hospital makes sure to clear the surgery board and have a full staff on hand to handle the overflow. The ER is always packed and there's a constant rotation of surgeries through the ORs.." Dorothy explained, twisting the cap off of her Iced Coffee and taking a sip.

"So, it'll be a hectic day and all of our residents will be up our asses." Neal spoke up for the first time since sitting down, resting his head in his hand.

"Who said we didn't like anal?" Jefferson cackled, winking at the suddenly blushing Peds intern.

"Gross" Kathryn chuckled, shaking her head a little before shooting Regina a smile.

"Neal I don't think we've ever formally met." Regina holds out her hand "I'm Regina. It's nice to meet you."

"I'm Neal. It's nice to finally meet the cardio goddess." he kissed her hand and Regina looked at Kathryn in surprise, the blonde had clearly taking a liking to her and she didn't want to cross any invisible lines.

"Don't worry he's gay. Almost as gay as Jefferson." Kathryn waved her hand dismissively, effectively ruling out Neal as any form of competition should she have the desire to pursue the brunette.

"Which says a lot." Neal chuckled, releasing Regina's hand with a smile and returning to his food,

"Anyway just try and be as helpful as you can tomorrow and stay out of Mulan's way. I've heard rumors about how power crazy she gets during Killmen's day." Dorothy interjected, tying her hair back from her face and effectively exposing the blossoming red mark on her neck. Kathryn choked on her tea as she spotted it and clapped a hand over her mouth.

"There are going to be so many surgeries up for grabs tomorrow. Just wait for it. It's going to be epic." Neal beamed cheerfully, opting to ignore Kathryn's struggle not to dribble tea down her own chin.

"I'm excited." Regina admitted, smiling at the surrounding interns. "I think it's going to be great."

"Good." Graham smiled "you should be." He checked his watch before grimacing "I've gotta go. Belle's doing this Neuro thing and she wants me there." Graham stood up and kissed Regina's forehead softly, squeezing her shoulder. "I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay that's not even a little fair. She's new." Jeff pouted, huffing a bit.

"What?" Regina looked over at the sulking man in concern before her eyes moved on to Kathryn for answers.

"Jeff has had a crush on Graham since the beginning of the medical year." The blonde offered as an answer. "He thinks he's super hunky."

"Graham's not ga-"

"Gay, we know." they all said together, silencing the petite brunette.

"Oh" Regina shrugged and looked down at her pager as it chirped. "Emma needs me. I have to go." she stood and deposited her trash into the receptacle before making her way into the hallway to wait for Kathryn so they could return to their Residents together.

"I really don't want to go back to Ruby." The blonde stated once she had rejoined her friend, both women making their way towards the elevators.

"Why? I thought you really liked her." Regina inquired, looking over at her friend.

"No reason. I'm just not having the best time standing next to her while she's in between someone's legs trying to explain pregnancy to me. Like lady, I get it. I took Biology, Egg, Sperm, baby. Done." She rolled her eyes and held the elevator door for a few nurses as they approached.

"I know the feeling. Emma's been in her office all day doing god knows what besides eating pie." She chuckled a little, shaking her head.

"I don't know. I feel like today's been too easy. We need a challenge. Something to get our blood pumping." Kathryn hummed thoughtfully, waggling her eyebrows at her friend with a smile.

"A challenge?" The brunette looked over and raised an eyebrow. "You mean like a competition or something?"

"Not really. Maybe challenge is the wrong word. It's more like a really late night at my house with a lot of pizza and some wine. That's what we need."

"That sounds good to me, but what about Killmen's day?"

"We'll be fine it's not like they'll let us have any of the fun surgery's anyway. We'll probably be in the ER doing blood draws or cleaning up vomit." The blonde shuddered a little as the stepped off the elevator.

"Okay I'm taking your word on that." Regina laughed and stopped at the entry to the hall leading to Dr. Swan's office.

"I'll tell Jeff to wait for you after we get off so he can take you to my place." Kathryn stated, waving as she headed towards the Gynecology wing.

"Alright,deal" Regina smiled before quickly making her way down the hallway towards Emma's office.

" ? You paged me?"

"Yeah I did. Sit down"

Regina looked concerned, her heart thudding in her chest as she took a seat in front of the older blonde's desk slowly.

"Cora and Henry Mills?"

"What about them?"

"They're your parents?"

"Yes they are"

"That's amazing. Wow"

"It is?"

"Yes"

"Why"

"Your mother's known as the Queen of Hearts. She's saved hundreds. Your father's the same. Together they've come up with the best methods in medical history."

Regina nodded "I know, but they call you the Saviour. That's really impressive. You've saved the unsavable."

"Everyone is savable until I can get my hands on them and tell you otherwise." The blonde stated easily, leaning back in her desk chair.

Regina blushed at the assertive tone in her boss' voice, ignoring the small shiver that ran along her spine.

"I simply find it impressive that you're what? 22,23? And in the position you are it. It's mind blowing yet something to be proud of. That's all."

"Th-thank you, Dr. Swan."

"Call me Emma."

A/N: Oh my! I'm sure Regina will call her anything that she'd like! Did y'all enjoy? Let us know before next Wednesday!
