"So how was the therapy?" My new mom asked me. I sighed, finished signing a chart to discharge Ms. Marner who had a heart attack, gave it to one of the nurses on duty, Sarah, and turned to face my sister.
"It was fine. It was therapy. Which you should be in by the way." I raised an eyebrow and she looked at her hands resting on the nurses station.
"Oh I'm fine. Everyone is alive, Zola is healthy, Derek's arm is getting better, I'm fine. Besides I asked how you were."
I looked down at my hands.
"Well, I've decided that as soon as I'm done with my residency, and after I pass my boards I'll go to a top-notch neuro fac-"
"Here. The top-notch neuro facility is here. Doctor Derek Shepard is here, at Seattle Grace-Mercy West, where you already are." She leaned back and looked me up and down. "You're going here because we are a family, and apparently good families don't split up."
I ducked my head and smiled at her.
"Yeah sure, here." The I knocked on the desk and walked away.
"Grey!" I spun around.
"Yes Dr. Bailey?" She had a chart in her hands and a serious look on her face that meant 'shut up and do what I say'. Oh man...
"Since Dr. Shepard has no surgeries or break-through clinical trials scheduled for today and you need some OR time, you're with Dr. Sloan today at 1 for a rhinoplasty in OR 3."
"Oh, um, Dr. Bailey, I, um, I have a um, uh-"
"Dr. Grey, you are with Dr. Sloan today at 1 for a rhinoplasty in OR 3. Or is there a problem?" She has a hand on her hip, oh crap she has a hand on her hip.
"Um, no ma'am, there's no problem." I clasped my hands behind my back to try and stop them from shaking. Stupid nerves. And then I slowly backed away.
"Lexi." And then I stop. "Yes Dr. Bailey?"
"Are you ok to work with Dr. Sloan today?" I smile slightly; for all the attitude she's such a mother hen.
"No, truthfully I'm not alright to work with Dr. Sloan today, but I am ok to do a rhinoplasty. It's no problem."
"Mmm hmm. Well then, have a good day." And she turns back to the board.
"Yes ma'am. You too Dr. Bailey." I sigh and turn around.
I'm gonna need a minute.
