Chapter 4

Day 12

Adrienne came into work in the morning in a good mood. "Good morning Teddy Bear."

"HEY! Morning. "

"So I have surgery in half an hour. so lunch later?"

"always. see ya then" Teddy walked off with a smile on her face.

"Hey I just...wanted to tell you that I won't be joining you for lunch.." Adrienne said with a strained voice.

Teddy looked up to see pain in her friends eyes but before she could ask what was wrong Adrienne was gone. so she began to search for her friend and finally she found her sitting on a bed in an on call room. So Teddy walked into the room. locking the door behind her. She sat down on the bed beside Adrienne pressing her back to the wall. and wrapping an arm around her hurting friend,

"I just had to tell my patients parents that their four year old daughter didnt make it out of surgery. They were looking at me like I was a monster..heck maybe I am"

"No. look at me" Teddy put her finger under Adrienne's chin and looked into Adrienne's tear filled eyes "You are not a monster. you are an amazing surgeon and i know you did everything you could to save that little girl. But people die,and sometimes we cant save everyone, no matter how good we are, no matter how hard we try. "

Adrienne just nodded wipeing tears from her eyes "Sorry..you didnt need to see me like this"

"it's ok. you dont need to appolize... Im your friend and i am here for you.. I just hate seeing you in pain... ok tonight we will go to my place and get really really drunk and forget everything"

Adrienne simly laid her head on Teddy's shoulder and thats how they stayed until their pagers went off.

As Teddy said they did indeed get very very drunk. Well... Teddy got super drunk but Adrienne handles her alcohol very well so although she drank as much as Teddy did she wasnt nearly as drunk. At about 2 am they were sitting dancing when all of sudden Teddy's lips were on Adrienne's. Adrienne very quickly kissed back allowing entrance to Teddy's toungue. She quickly sobered up when Teddy's hand made her way up her shirt, Adrienne pulled back.

" cant"

"What? you've been hitting on me since the day you met me. what do you mean we cant?"

"Yes, I have been hitting on you since i met you ... but I'm in love with you and I wont sleep with you just so you can regret it the next day and we ruin our friendship. i've come to need you Teddy. So. lets just go to sleep and when you are sober if you still want this then kiss me then"

"fine."

Teddy climbed into the bed and layed there until she fell asleep..Adrienne followed not long afterwords

Day 13

Teddy woke up at about 6 am with a killer head ache. She got out of bed took a tylenol and a glass of water and climbed back into bed being careful not to wake her sleeping friend. She looked over at Adrienne. and memories of last night flooded back. Adrienne's eyes fluttered open. "morn-" before she could finish Teddy's lips were on her own. Adrienne smiled through the kiss the kiss was different the last nights kiss it was soft and slow, both exsploreing each other, hands roaming then they broke the kiss needing air.

"so... you're in love with me"

"Well, it started with you being the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, to flirting and then you became my best friend and somewhere along the way I fell in love."

"I love you too. I'm in love with you. I realized that this morning while watching you sleep... i just pushed it away for so long because i'm not gay...at least I didnt think I was"

Adrienne kissed Teddy again and then wrapped her arms around Teddy... Teddy layed her head on Adrienne's chest "We have work in an hour"

"I know... lets just enjoy the moment for a minute. please"

"ok. "

"you're in a good mood today" Callie said to Adrienne

"Yeah... I dont know if I should tell you this but... Teddy and I are... together. "

"Crap. Arizona is gonna flip"

"What?"

"Mark bet Arizona that you would have teddy in love with you in a month"

"... so Arizona betted against me...when?"

"you're first day"

"Dont tell mark or Arizona about this ... I have a plan"

Adrienne quickly texted Teddy "mark betted Arizona that we'd be dating with in the month..."

"What?..well we should just not tell them yet then till we come up with a plan"

" I was thinking we could hide it till the very last day of the bet so Arizona thinks she is winning and mark is squirming then we tell them on the last day"

":D I like the way you think. Surgery. gtg. Love you"

"go save a life ove you too"
