It had been nearly three months since Emma had been hired and moved to a little suburb outside Boston. It didn't take her too long to get acclimated to her new living conditions. It didn't take a genius to realize that there was a gross difference between south Florida and Boston. It was only September and she found herself already digging through a box labeled as "winter clothing". She understood why nobody ever retired and moved north. It was too bloody cold. She knew it wouldn't be too long before she would be retiring her shorts and flip flops in exchange for pants and some polar bear looking coat. She wondered how her dog would adjust to the new snowy weather that was right around the corner.

Her stomach, however, was a huge fan for the foods that the restaurants had offered. Boston had some of the best Italian she had ever had. There was different café with amazing croissants and other pastries. She often found herself frequenting this little mom and pop diner near her apartment for brekky though. Granny's served the best hot chocolate she had ever had and she was becoming friends with one of the waitresses called Ruby. And even though Emma was in a huge city, she had a hard time meeting people. There were a few people at work that Emma might consider friends but not many.

Emma walked in to the diner at 6 am and smiled when she saw Ruby moving about fetching coffee and whatever else the patrons needed. Ruby gave her a huge grin when she finally met Emma's eyes and walked straight to her.

"So, you bang your boss yet?" Ruby asked with a smirk.

"RUBY!" Emma said scandalized, "no, I have not. I told you, I only have a brain crush on her. You don't "bang" brain crushes. You admire them from a far…"

"Yeah, I'm gonna call bullshit, Emms. You get this raw look in your eye whenever you talk about her. People don't get that look in their eye unless they want to bang- which you definitely do."

"I cannot sleep with my boss. There are rules and I pride myself in having enough self-control to follow said rules and maintain an easy boring life." Emma sighed as she watched Ruby put down her hot chocolate and plate of food. She was normally thankful for Ruby's attention to detail.

"I thought you were going to work on relaxing a little bit and not being so much of a control freak?"

"I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you," Ruby could see the smile on the sides of the cup as Emma drank some of her drink. Ruby walked away after sighing very audibly and very dramatically. Emma sat there finishing her meal while contemplating Ruby's words. Was she a control freak? Maybe…

"So, how has school been? You start your rotations yet?" Emma asked Ruby upon her return.

"School is school. There's this one girl who is such a distraction. I think she will be going to med surge or ophthalmology or something boring like that."

"Those are far from boring, Ruby. Well, maybe med surge…" Emma said with a small smile.

"How am I supposed to secretly stalk her if she lives a boring life? I want to stalk someone exciting," Ruby said dreamingly.

"Stalking should not be the goal here. Have you spoken with her yet? Do you know her name?"

"Her name is Dorothy. She's all military with her "yes, ma'am" "no, sir"" doing a mock salute.

"Well, I was in the army for five years and look how awesome I turned out. Chill as a cucumber…"

"Ok, miss control freak." Ruby said she knocked over the cinnamon to see exactly how long it would take Emma to pick back up- which was nearly immediately. Ruby walked away victoriously.

Emma walked in to the hospital a little happier than normal. Today she got to see her favorite patient, Kate, a 5 year old leukemia patient who was nothing less than a fighter. Kate was one of Dr. Robbins patients and was introduced to Emma when she was first assigned to her three months ago. She was about 20 minutes early so she made sure her charts were in order and even pretended to check her emails. Emma wasn't a fan of the computers or doing feckless tasks on computers. Her first two weeks were all about privacy, patient's right, and something called Hippa that she had been tested on.

Walking down the hall, Emma felt the collision before she knew what was happening. She looked down and there was hot cocoa all over her scrub top, papers scattered all over ground, and a cursing blonde frantically apologizing and trying to pick up the paperwork. Emma bent down and stared to help her hoping the paper work was in no particular order.

She didn't notice that she had been staring until the other woman cleared her throat.

"Oh, right, sorry," Emma muttered handing back the papers.

"Thank you," the blonde said collecting her papers from Emma. "I'm Elsa, I'm a floating nurse and I'll be around here today," she said with a genuine smile.

All Emma could say was "Neat."

She attempted to smile but was clearly taken back from the blonde. Little did she know that she had an audience of three watching at the desk: Kathrine, Dr. Robbins, and Dr. Mills. Katherine and Dr. Robbins looked rather amused while Dr. Mills sported an entirely different look. Had anyone else been paying any mind to Dr. Mills they may have noticed the little, green monster that showed its head as Elsa squeezed Emma's bicep and leaned in to whisper something. Whatever Elsa said had left Emma with her mouth agape and flushed until she looked down and saw the hot chocolate everywhere.

Thanking her lucky stars, she had an extra scrub set in her locker, she looked at her watch and realized she only had a few minutes to quickly change and walked to the end of the hall. She put in her combo and yanked open the door to pull out her top. She reached down to pull off the soaking top and wife beater and pull it over her head when it got stuck overhead.

Getting caught up in her struggle she didn't hear the door open or the heels approaching. She moved her body towards the sound and a velvety laugh. "My, my. Aren't you in quite the precarious situation?"

"…fuck."

"I hope you don't intend to use that language in front our patients today." Dr. Mills said.

"No, Dr. Mills."

"Good because you will be with me today during rotation. I have to take on some of Arizona's cases because she has a class to give. There will be a couple of other new personal on the ward as well. I see you already ran in to one of the nurses," Dr. Mills said as she was taking in the blonde. Her shirt being stuck above her head gave her an amazing view of Emma's sculpted abs as well as her arms that were trying oh so desperately to get free. Feeling the need to control herself she walked over to the blonde, "Really, Emma. You're worse than a 5 year old sometimes" she playfully chastised as she helped take the shirt off her head.

With a deep blush she quickly turned and grabbed her spare wife beater giving Dr. Mills a great view of her back features.

"Ok," Emma said with as much strength as she could muster, "Let's see how Kate is feeling today." And with that she escaped the locker room with what little dignity she had left. If she would have taken half a second to turn around, she would have seen the storm she initiated in the doctor's eyes.
