Lot to learn
"Okay guys let´s start this!" Cristina meant when she entered the o.r. her sterile hands holding up and ready to get dressed.
"Where´s doctor Altman?" Bookie, the o.r. nurse, asked and looked for the attending.
"She´s not coming. An emergency I´m going to lead this surgery." Cristina replied and showed her to dress her up what she immediately did. A whisper ran through the team but the resident ignored it and went to the patient who was already narcotized.
"Scalpel!" she ordered and held out her hand in which Bookie put in the sharp surgical knife.
"Doctor Altman...the girl has contractions we need to do the c-section now!" Lucy meant strict looking from the monitor to the cardio-goddess.
"Doctor Fields...If you open her abdomen now she will bleed out. Moreover I need the patient to lay quiet and not to have the procedure down there." Teddy replied and Lucy bit on her lower lip. Alex who sat by the monitor watching the discussion between the attending looked at the intern Steve who shrugged also watching the women arguing.
"You know the longer you two concentrate more on each other than on the patient the more it gets complicated." Alex noticed and the two surgeons looked at him.
"As I know you are just a resident doctor Karev so this is none of your business." Lucy answered annoyed when she turned to him and then looked back to Teddy. "You´ve got two minutes before I need to deliver the baby." Teddy nodded and Lucy went back to her chair and sat down.
"If you ever gonna say something against my work I will make sure you won´t see an o.r. from the inside for a long time." she whispered to Alex who swallowed and concentrated on the monitor but was also kinda turned on by her attitude.
"Izzie...I told you...you should at least try to forgive Mer and Cristina." Bailey meant sitting next to the blond and brown eyed woman who looked at the needle in her vein.
"If you don´t want to pretend that you are my `friend´ you don´t have to." Izzie replied not looking at the carrying attending.
"I want to...Izzie right now high toxic chemicals are pumped through your veins and all you do is sitting here with only me. An attending who taught you one year but you hardly know instead of your best friends and boyfriend!" When these words came out of Miranda´s mouth Izzie looked at her with tears welling up in her eyes.
"He´s not my boyfriend anymore."
"Iz- Izzie...I mean I heard the rumors and it´s terrible what he did but do you really think that you can take this fight without him?"
"I live better without Alex. And like I said: If you don´t want to support me you can leave too. You have surgeries or some important stuff to do for sure." Izzie meant looking again down at her vein expecting Bailey to go. But instead she took the other hand of the patient and held it. By the touch of the woman´s warm hand Izzie turned her head towards her and Bailey gave her a comforting smile which let her smile back and feel better in only a few seconds.
"Webber took over my surgeries so I can be here."
"Okay doctor Grey...are you ready?" Richard asked when they stood in front of the narcotized patient. Meredith nodded and held her hand out so the o.r. nurse could give her the scalpel.
"You can expect that there´s a lot of blood and it will be complicated because his organs are on different places. But I´m here if you need help." he continued while Meredith cut the first dermal layer.
"Thank you." she murmured asking for the cauter with her hand. She opened the second layer and then the third till she arrived at the peritoneum. Meredith looked up to the head of general and after he nodded she continued to open it too. Suddenly a lot of blood came out of the man´s body and streamed down over the sterile cloths on the floor. Frightened Meredith stepped back when the blood splashed on the floor and her shoes.
"You need help?" Richard asked and Meredith shook her head coming to the patient again. "He loses blood. What are you doing now?"
"We need blood...type A...A...now!" Meredith shouted overstrained. " Draw!" she meant and Webber put the suction device inside his body. "I think the blood comes from the liver but I can´t see anything...there´s...there´s too much colon." the resident explained while feeling through the organ mix. Webber also looked inside and thought about what to do.
"Maybe if you examine the colon if it has damage and then put it back at the place it should be." he noticed.
"I...I think...I think I feel something...a hole...yes a hole. Okay I´m going to put the colon aside so I can reach the liver." she meant and put the colon on his old place carefully.
"Um...Meredith? It´s not the liver...and it´s also not only blood." Webber said looking at his resident. Meredith who looked at him and not in the body the whole time now looked down to see that she held the colon in her hand and that there were several holes from which blood but also excrement came out. She looked back at the chief and they watched each other for a few seconds.
"I think I need help."
A paramedic entered the e.r. and explained the problem to a nurse.
"47 year old male. Broke his hips during yoga."
"Doctor Torres?" the nurse asked and Callie stood up from her chair. "Broken hips!"
"Yass!" Callie grinned walking around the desk.
"Hey...I´m awake!" the patient complained.
"I´m sorry." Callie replied sarcastically and still smiling. "Okay Mr...Harrison...how did this happen?"
"I had an appointment with a doctor once and he meant that-"
"Listen! I don´t want to hear the story of your life. I want to know how this happened." Callie interrupted him.
"I was about to tell you. The doctor meant that I was too fat and ate too much...wait no...this was another doctor...the male doctor told me that my joints were too stiff..."
"Mister Harrison...you just have to tell me if you fell down or something like that." Callie meant annoyed while the paramedic carried the patient to an empty bed.
"Please call me Bill. So however I heard from many doctors that I was too fat and unatlethic and my joints were too stiff. And you know you can´t do a lot of sports with
stiff joints. I tried running, I tried soccer, I tried skiing and even swimming but it all hurt and I loved to eat so it didn´t work. Then I read on the internet that yoga avoids ravenousness and is good for the bones so I tried it and it was really funny." the man explained and Callie looked at the paramedic who also looked annoyed. "By the way do you have cookies? I really have appetite for cookies."
"Mister Harrison-"
"Bill!"
"Bill...if you could tell us what exactly happened that you broke both sides of your hips it could help us more then telling us what you want to eat." Callie explained.
"Of course...so I did yoga for like one week now and I liked it. This morning I wanted to eat chips and they are on the highest shelve because you as you can see I´m small and that was that I can´t reach them. So I tried to do yoga to get rid of the feeling to need them and I did it in the kitchen. My swing was too strong and suddenly I laid on the kitchen floor. Great...Now I want chips again."
"Okay thank you for the exact explanation, I will examine you." Callie meant with a fake smile on her lips and filled in the chart.
Lexie stood in the hallway her hand on her forehead looking out for Mark.
"Damn it!" she cursed when she couldn´t find him and went back to the e.r. where Callie got a case in the meantime.
"Wow...that was a short chat." Callie noticed when Lexie passed her. The anger and sadness boiled up in Lexie´s blood when she stopped and her hands turned to fists. She turned around and ran back to Callie who looked at her surprised.
"You! How can you dare to give me life lessons and to tell me what to do and then make fun of me? How could you dare to sleep with my boyfriend? Like what the hell was driving you that you thought you could just have sex with Mark when we had an argue? What kind of stupid human being does this?" Lexie yelled and the whole emergency room including the personal and the patients were looking at her. Callie gasped and opened her eyes wide when she noticed that everyone was watching them.
"Doctor Grey maybe we should discuss this somewhere else." she whispered still looking at the others.
"Why? Because you don´t want to have a bad reputation? Because rumors spread through the hospital like fungus in a wood? I know it! I had to learn it! And you...you flirt with my boyfriend after he believed these rumors and he was broken...that´s the only reason why he slept with you! Because he was broken, alone and sad and you were there and Mark...Mark is exactly the type of guy who needs sex to feel better. But he would never choose you after he tasted my poundcake! Because he had a lot of your poundcake and when he tasted mine he said `yep that´s what I was searching for!´ and he only took a bite of your old poundcake because mine wasn´t there anymore!" Lexie replied shouting and Callie looked at her confused.
"Poundcake? I never baked a poundcake." Callie arched her eyebrows.
"It´s an insider! But you know what the message is and now get out of my damn stupid life!" Lexie answered still loud and then ran away.
"Great." Callie´s patient said. "Now I have appetite for poundcake."
"Doctor Yang..." the o.r. nurse said after she picked up the phone. "Doctor Altman wants to know if everything´s fine or if you need help."
"I´m great. You can tell her that I am about to clip the aneurysm and that everything´s going good so far." Cristina smiled and the nurse told Teddy what Cristina said and after she hang up she went back and did her work.
"God this surgery is so simple..." Cristina sang happily. "I don´t know why Teddy wastes her time with something like that. Every intern could do this." with these words she looked up from the body to the intern in front of her who was nervous and his hands were shaking. She looked back at the heart and wanted to place the clip. "Maybe not this here but some interns...little Grey for example...little Grey will make an outstanding surgeon. I mean this is so easy that I-" she continued when suddenly blood splashed out of the body and the blood pressure went high.
"Oh god...oh god!" Cristina meant overstrained and put some sterile gauze into it.
"Doctor Yang! You perforated the aneurysm!" the intern meant shocked but also a little bit gleeful.
"I know!" she replied harsh and groped through the thorax of the man. "I...I can´t find it...I can´t find the hole it´s too much blood." the resident took a serrefine and put it on the place the aneurysm was.
"Where is this damn hole?" she shouted nervously while the nurse called Teddy again and told her to come.
"She said that everything´s going great and that she was just about to clip the aneurysm." the o.r. nurse in Teddy´s o.r. explained holding the phone in her hand.
"Good...tell her that she has to be careful. If the aneurysm perforates it can be really dangerous." Teddy said watching the heart beat.
"Okay I will tell...she already hang up." the nurse meant and looked back at the surgeon.
"It´s okay Yang knows what to do." Teddy sighed and concentrated on the girl again. "How can a 14-year old girl be with a man who´s nearly fourth her age? I mean if this would be my daughter I would do everything that she wouldn´t see this man anymore."
"Love knows no age..." Lucy replied.
"Yeah but that´s kinda...disgusting." Alex said and earned a mad look from his boss.
"I think I told you not to-"
"Yeah you did...I was just saying my opinion."
"Well, doctor Fields if you want to you can do now everything with the patient. I almost finished my work." Teddy meant and started stitching the wound.
"Well, everything´s fine so far...the baby got a strong heartbeat, the contractions stopped and I don´t see a reason anymore to deliver it. Maybe the breech position changes till the actual birth date." Lucy replied. Teddy nodded and continued closing the girl when suddenly the telephone rang.
"Doctor Altman? It´s o.r. 2. They need you!" the nurse meant nervously.
"2? But that´s where Yang is. Oh god..." Teddy said and looked up from the patient.
" `Yang knows what to do.´ Obviously she doesn´t." Alex made fun of his college.
"Doctor Fields can you please end this? I need to look after her." Teddy asked and Lucy nodded and went to the patient and took over the surgical instruments.
"Damn it. Why does she always need to overestimate herself?" Teddy cursed when she took of her surgical coat, gloves and mask and left the o.r.
"What´s going on here?" Teddy asked mad when she entered Cristina´s o.r.
"Teddy..what...what are you doing here? Everything´s fine!" Cristina lied still trying to find out where the blood was coming from.
"Doctor Yang! Nothing is fine. Bookie told me! Now step aside and let me do it!" the attending claimed while Bookie dressed her up.
"No Teddy I got this!" Cristina lied and looked at the monitor to see that the blood pressure was still too high and the heart near the ventricular fibrillation.
"No you can´t! This is a number too big for yo- ventricular fibrillation!" Teddy recognized and ran to the o.r. table. "Paddles!" she ordered and the intern gave it to her.
"Teddy...please let me end this!" Cristina begged helpless.
"No! Now go or the patient will die!" Teddy shouted and pushed Cristina after she didn´t move. "Clear!" she shouted when she put the paddles on the glimmering heart and the paddles gave it an electrical shock.
"Now you rinse the cavity and search through it to make sure that there´s no excrement left." Webber helped Meredith and she did what he told her.
"Okay I...I think there´s nothing more left." she meant after her search
"Are you sure?" Webber asked suspicious "Because it could kill this man in less than 5 minutes. So are you sure?"
"Yes I am sir. We rinsed him 5 times and I looked through the cavity like a thousand times and you too. I am sure doctor Webber." Meredith promised and Webber nodded.
"Then you can now repair the damage on the other organs." he said and Meredith smiled under her surgical mask. She stitched the damaged organs and treated the problems the excrement caused. After everything was alright she closed the man and she and Webber left the o.r.
"You did a great job. Was this your first solo-operation?" he asked proud of his student.
"Yeah it was. I didn´t recognize that it was one. I was too concentrated on the patient." Meredith smiled happily.
"Maybe that´s better. You know maybe you would have been nervous and would have made mistakes. So I´m really proud of you Meredith. Someday you are going to be a general surgeon as great as your mother." Richard thought hopeful.
"You know I´m just in my second year. I haven´t decided which specialty I wanna go yet. I think that neuro is cool too." Meredith replied shyly.
"Neuro? No! You have to end what your mother started. You have to go to general. And one day Lexie will also be a general surgeon. It´s like a tradition." Webber tried to convince her.
"Technically Lexie isn´t even related to my mother. And she´s an intern for hardly 4 months. She´s going to decide her way on her own." Meredith meant now a little bit mad that Webber didn´t stop pushing her into a way she didn´t like.
"You´re right. Sorry. But think about it! It would be great if I had the pleasure to work with Ellis Grey and Meredith Grey during my career as general surgeon. Two of the best surgeons I´ve ever met in my life. And you know...I´m not the youngest anymore...I mean I am young but you know." Webber laughed.
"I understand." Meredith meant before going away to rest a bit.
"Derek!" Mark shouted when he saw his best friend walking down the hallway.
"Mark! Hey. What´s up?" he replied and slowed down so his best friend could catch up.
"I don´t know what to do with Lexie...sometimes I think she wants me back and sometimes I think she wants to forget me...But I miss her and I want her back." Mark admitted and Derek looked down on the floor while walking.
"Maybe you should let her go...maybe you should learn to leave when the time is right." Derek thought.
"But when is the time right? She can´t say she doesn´t miss me cause she does...I can see it in her eyes."
"Well, she will never forget you...you were her...you know...first...god now I have bad images in my head...But please do yourself a favor and let it be." Derek begged.
"But I lov-"
"No! Mark don´t say that! Stop! She´s gone...you thought it could work out – it didn´t. Now deal with it and please set this poor girl free."
"Why are you so against us? I mean you wanted me to promise that I won´t touch her...which I – and I´m deeply sorry for that – couldn´t keep and then you ignored me and now after our unofficial break up you beg me to forget her?"
"Unofficial break up? Mark you slept with another woman...this was more than official."
"I know...please don´t remind me...I regret it...like really...and I want to undo it...somehow...I lov-"
"No Mark sto-" Derek wanted to say but he got cut off.
"I love Lexie Grey!" Mark shouted so everybody could hear him. "I love her and everyone can hear that! She´s my soulmate. My end and my beginning. She´s my world!"
"Mark you know her for hardly four months. Don´t say something when you don´t know what it really is!"
"But I never felt this way. I know who she is! And if she´s going through her worst right now I wanna go through it with her! She makes me happier than...anything other. And if I can have a part in making her happy again then that´s all I wanna do...that´s all I wanna do for the rest of my life!" Mark meant with tears welling up in his eyes. "I´m sure we are endgame. Cause we´re supposed to end up together! We´re meant to be!"
"Meant to be? Mark did you take drugs? What are you talking about? Please don´t let me be a victim of your love-drunken speeches." Derek meant and left his friend behind.
"We are! I know it!" Mark shouted after him not sure if he could hear it.
"Teddy I...I´m so..so sorry...I was sure I could do this." Cristina meant when she and Teddy left the o.r.
"You see...that´s the problem. You overestimate the things you do too much. You´re thinking too high of yourself and your knowledge. You are too selfcentered and think you know everything better than anybody in this hospital and that´s why this man died!" Teddy shouted pointing on Cristina.
"I´m really sorry Teddy I-"
"It´s doctor Altman! I was a fool thinking I wouldn´t need to teach you something because obviously you don´t even know the basics. You are so obsessed with cardio that you probably don´t even know how to do an appendectomy!" Teddy cut her student off. Cristina looked shocked. She wasn´t good in taking critic and never ever before a surgeon thought that she was bad. They always said that she was the best beginner they ever met.
"Doctor Altman..I´m really sorry...It wasn´t my intention to kill this patient." Cristina said confused.
"Don´t tell me that. Tell it his family." Teddy sighed mad and left her resident behind.
"Mer?" Lexie asked when she knocked at the resident´s locker room door.
"Yeah?" her sister replied so Lexie stepped in and found her laying on the bench in front of the lockers. "What´s up?"
"Nothing.." Lexie whispered trying to cover her shaky voice.
"You can´t fool me...what´s the matter?" Meredith asked comforting.
"I...I just yelled at Callie...I...I called her vagina an old poundcake..I..I am so..so done with this hospital.." Lexie explained lying down on the other bench.
"Maybe you should take a break. Go on holidays for this weekend." Meredith offered.
"Haha...Webber will never let me go...I´m his best intern right now...If I go, the hospital will fall apart." Lexie joked.
"You are so bigheaded!" Meredith laughed.
"I miss Mark...I really do...but...I´m afraid he hurts me again...or that I hurt him...or that he doesn´t even want me back because Callie´s poundcake tastes better." Lexie thought loud.
"Well, I don´t know what this whole poundcake thing means." Meredith admitted.
"It´s an insider...between Mark and me...I still love him though he hurt me. And I still chase after him like a dog his bone because...because I´m crazy."
"You´re not crazy Lex...You´re a Grey!" Meredith grinned and so did Lexie. "You know how long I chased after Derek? So many problems tore us apart and we always found back together...it´s like the universe wanted us to happen. And now we´re engaged. So it´s not crazy to fight for what you want...but you have to know where to stop." Meredith explained to her younger sister.
"Wow Mer...poetical!" Lexie jiggled.
"Yeah sometimes these inspiring, poetical inner monologues are just running through my head."
"You could be a good intro and outro for a TV-show...Our lives are perfect for a show for sure. The Grey´s Anatomy Reality Show!" Lexie explained jiggling and gestured with her hands. Both of the sister laughed and talked about how the show would look like.
"Okay I gotta go..." Lexie meant and stood up again. "But I think you´re right...Maybe I will take a break and drive to a spa or something. Nobody knows where I might end up." Lexie jiggled and left the room after she waved Meredith a goodbye.
"Callie..." Mark meant when she passed him fast.
"Uh...Hey...do you know what poundcake is?" she asked when she came back to him.
"...A cake?" Mark replied sarcastically.
"Lexie meant it was an insider. She just called me an old poundcake." Callie jiggled arching her eyebrows. Mark thought about it when he remembered their insider of their first night together.
"Oh...well, haha...it´s it´s a code word for dirty things. Why did she say that?" he asked.
"She was mad at me because of sleeping with you and because I wanted to help her getting back to you. Yeah she was kinda rude but I understand that. She yelled at me in front of the whole staff and in front of my patient. I mean it´s okay being mad at me but she could have done this when we two were alone and not like...shouting through the emergency room."
"She wants back to me? Really?" Mark couldn´t hide a smile.
"Did you just listen to me? I told you that she yelled at me in front of everyone." Callie asked mad.
"Thank you Callie...I need to find her." Mark meant and gave Callie a quick hug before running back to the e.r.
"Did that just happen?" Callie asked herself confused and looked at the place Mark stood two seconds ago. Suddenly she felt like she needed to puke and held her hand in front of her mouth. After a few seconds the feeling was gone and she held her stomach. "Maybe it wasn´t a good idea to drink the two weeks old milk with my coffee."
"Doctor Karev!" Lucy recognized him when she went to the nurse´s desk.
"Doctor Fields...I was thinking about on which unit the girl should come. Cardio, gyn or peds?" Alex asked when the blond attending stopped next to him.
"How about ICU?" she giggled and so did he. "Here...please bring this boy to his chemotherapy." she meant pushing a chart over to him.
"Leukemia...poor boy and he´s only 8. Yes I will do it and I wanted to ask something...oh right, would you like to go to Joe´s with me tonight?" he replied reading the chart and then looking up from it.
"Like a date?" Lucy laughed.
"More like two colleges that want to celebrate their good work together." Alex lied.
"You know I heard the rumors like everyone else in this hospital and...well, I was in the cafeteria when this one doctor shouted the truth through the hallways so...I´m kinda not interested as long as you haven´t sorted your things out." Lucy answered smirking and left him.
"Does this mean someday you will?" Alex asked confused but smiling and then went to the boy´s patient room.
"Hey dude...you wanna come with me? I´ll take you to the chemo." Alex asked when he entered the room with a wheelchair. The boy nodded weakly and Alex helped him into the wheelchair and drove him to the oncology wing where the chemotherapy was.
"How are you feeling?" he asked carrying but the boy only shrugged weakly. Alex didn´t know what he should talk with that child so he stopped talking and entered with him the room where all the cancer patients were sitting. Alex drove to a chair and gave the boy´s chart to a nurse so she could give him the right infusion and he helped the boy on the chair. When he looked around he noticed Izzie sitting there and watching him. They looked at each other for only a few seconds but it felt like million years. She swallowed the lump in her throat back down an tried to breathe calmly while Alex bit on his lower lip trying to ignore the sorrow he felt.
"Your interleukin 2 therapy is finished doctor Stevens." a nurse meant when she pulled the needle out of her arm. Izzie nodded softly not breaking the eyecontact with Alex. "You just need to go to the nurse´s desk and sign the papers." the nurse continued while Izzie stood up pressing a swab on her vein. Alex told the boy he would come back in an hour when the chemo was finished and followed Izzie to the desk. He watched her how she took the papers from another nurse and came closer.
"How are you feeling?" he asked quietly when he reached the desk but didn´t look at her.
"How should I feel? I have cancer, my child was born three months too early and my boyfriend cheated on me. I feel great!" Izzie meant sarcastically looking at her papers. Alex sighed. He knew he screwed up and flirting with Lucy didn´t make it better.
"Iz...I´m sorry for every-" Alex looked at her but Izzie cut him off.
"Have you visited Denny?" Izzie asked still not looking up but recognizing that he shook his head. "You should visit him...you´re his father so that´s the least thing you could do for him after breaking up with his mother."
"I never broke up with you." Alex explained quietly. "I...I just..."
"You screwed up...It´s great that you think cheating on someone doesn´t mean a break up but yeah it´s your decision if you want to meet your son or not. And before you ask: it is your son. I´m not the whore screwing around with other people. And now it´s over! I broke up with you!" Izzie cut him off giving the papers back to the nurse and leaving her ex boyfriend behind.
"Ted-" Cristina sat down next to Teddy in the cafeteria but stopped talking when she looked at her mad. "Doctor Altman." she continued quietly. "I wanted to ask how the girl from the e.r. feels...the pregnant one. Does she need another surgery? I know my today´s work wasn´t the best but maybe I just need something more appealing."
"Doctor Yang! You have a lot to learn. I looked through your files and could clearly see that you spent almost every hour of your surgical residency here at the Seattle Grace on cardio. I think it´s good when someone is ambitious but that´s not ambition anymore. That´s childish behavior. I mean it´s obvious that you will be a cardio-goddess but for your boards and for everything in your future you need the basics which you clearly don´t have. So I´m sorry doctor Yang but I don´t want you on my service anymore." Teddy explained and stood up with an apple in her hand and a coffee in the other hand and left the shocked resident behind.
"Cristina! Hey! What´s up?" Owen asked when he saw his girlfriend staring at the empty seat Teddy was sitting.
"Teddy she...she just fired me." Cristina answered still in shock.
"What? That´s not possible only chief Webber can fire you." Owen replied sitting down on Teddy´s chair.
"But she did...she just fired me from her service...she doesn´t want me anymore. I...I lost my tutor. I lost my one true love." Cristina meant near to crying.
"Excuse me? Correct me if I´m wrong but I thought I was your one true love and now Teddy is yours?" Owen asked surprised.
"No...Cardio...I´m...I´m a cardio-whore...I can´t survive without a beating heart in my hand. I don´t need a colon or brain or bones. I need a heart. A very sick heart." Cristina explained sad.
"So wait...Teddy told you to leave cardio? Why?" Owen asked still confused.
"Because I need to learn the basics. Which cardio-thoracic surgeon can do an appendectomy today? Or better wants to do!" Cristina now calmed down and leaned back in her chair. "She can´t do this right? I mean she can´t just hold me away from cardio right?"
"I´m afraid she can. I´m so sorry. But the positive is that you need some hours in trauma so we can spend more time together."
"What´s positive at being fired?"
"First you´re not fired and second to spend time with your boyfriend. I mean why should this be negative? I don´t need you to tell me that you love your work more than me. That´s something you need to count on when you´re in a relationship with Cristina Yang. She will love you but she will always put her work over you. You know where to find me when you finally get your mind clear." Owen got mad and stood up and left the table.
"Owen!" Cristina tried to grab his hand put he pulled it away and left her behind.
"So you made him clear to leave my sister alone?" Meredith asked Derek between the kisses they gave each other in a bed in an on-call room.
"Yeah I did." he replied pulling off her scrub shirt.
"And did he really understand what you meant?" she continued her asking.
"Yeah he did. Can we please talk about something different than Mark?" Derek asked annoyed.
"Of course." Meredith answered quickly and pulled off his scrub shirt. They kissed and the kiss got even more passionate when they included their tongues. Meredith slowly laid herself back on the bed so Derek laid on her. They kissed while Derek put off her pants and Meredith his. Suddenly she pushed him away softly.
"Did Mark really understand that he should set Lexie free? Like really really?" Meredith asked again.
"Mer..."
"I´m sorry...I just worry about her.."
"He did understand that he should-"
"Derek?!" Mark suddenly opened the door of the on-call room which caused Meredith screaming and pulling the blanket over her naked body.
"Mark!" Derek shouted and also put a bit over his waist.
"Derek...she still loves me...she wants me back!" Mark came in and closed the door behind him not carrying about the two being naked.
"What are you talking about?" Derek asked confused.
"Lexie! She wants me back! I need to find her! Derek you were right! She didn´t forget me!" Mark meant happily and left the on-call room again.
"He understood hm?" Meredith asked kinda mad and kinda amused.
"Doctor Webber?" Bailey asked shyly when she knocked at his office door.
"Doctor Bailey...come in." he meant exhausted and again reading thousands of contracts.
"Is anything alright?" she asked sure to know the answer.
"Miranda.." he said and looked at her taking his glasses off. Bailey knew it wasn´t a good sign if he calls her by her first name. "Please sit down." he continued pointing on the chair in front of him and Bailey sat down. "The employee representation now gave me the exact guidelines for our situation. Can you keep a secret?" he asked and Bailey nodded fast. "They told me that I have to fire some doctors."
"Fire? But you told me that we are losing so many and that that´s bad." Bailey remembered their last conversation.
"Yes but that were good attending. Now I have to fire residents and interns. Now I need you. You have to tell me who would be a loss and who we could let go."
"I´m afraid that´s none of my business." Bailey tried to avoid choosing.
"Just think about it. I trust you and your competent opinion. And there´s another thing I need to tell you. It´s important that you tell it everyone." Webber looked deep into the general surgeons brown eyes and she got afraid.
"Mark..." Derek said when he met his best friend again.
"Derek did you see Lexie? I can´t find her." Mark asked looking around helpless.
"Mark that´s exactly what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to give you that." he meant holding out a coupon. "I want you to take a break from this whole stuff. Please leave the hospital for this weekend. You don´t have difficult cases and the other plastic surgeons can take them over. Please do it for me." Mark took the coupon and looked at it.
"Maybe you´re right. I should take a break. Thank you." he meant and nodded.
"Okay then...See you on Monday." Derek smiled and went back to the on-call room where Meredith waited for him.
"Thanks. And now let´s continue where we stopped." she smiled when he came back into the bed. They started kissing when suddenly their pagers went on.
Everybody´s pager went on when Bailey paged them to the auditorium.
"Bailey." Meredith said when she looked at her pager.
"What could she want?" Derek asked when they put their clothes back on and went to the auditorium.
Mark looked down at his pager when he was about to put off his clothes and change into normal clothes.
"Bailey?" he asked surprised.
Lexie was already driving to the spa when her pager started beeping.
"No. Not this weekend." she meant when she put the mute off.
Izzie still had her pager and also got the message when she was already lying in her bed. I feel good..I can go there..at least it´s more interesting than what´s on TV...she thought and turned the TV off and stood up to go to the auditorium.
One by one everybody met where Bailey paged them to be and looked at the small surgeon who was standing on the stairs so she could see everybody.
"Okay...Hello..everyone..You wonder why you came for for sure. Chief Webber wanted me to tell you something. Our financial situation is getting worse and we are losing staff. This hospital is like a second home for some of us and we don´t intend to lose it. Doctor Webber also don´t want to give this hospital up. There were only two solutions. The first one was giving this hospital up. Every doctor would have needed to look for another job. The second one was a fusion with another hospital." A whisper of shock ran through the crowd. "Both, giving up and the fusion weren´t an option for our chief. But he had to make a decision. And...no matter how sorry he is for what I have to tell you know...it must have been. In one month this hospital won´t be the same as it was. We will fusion with the Mercy West. The Seattle Grace will transform to the Seattle Grace Mercy West."
