THE INTERN LIFE
''Hey Em'' Emily hears as soon as she picks up her phone. ''Hmmm...'' she grumbles ''Whyyy are you calling me at 5am in the morning ...''
She hears her girlfriend giggle on the other side of the line ''I'm sorry babe, but you have to get up soon either way so ..I'm at your front door with donuts, ya want some?''
Emily internally curses, now she has to get out of bed. Maya ofcourse knows that donuts are Emily's weakness, she could eat them anywhere at anytime.
''Hmmmfinee ...'' Emily sighs.
''Yay!'' She hears Maya say happily, before the girl hangs up.
She slowly stumbles out of bed and glances at herself in the mirror. She looks like crap.
Well, for her.
Yesterday, she was so excited for her first day as an intern that she only now feels how exhausting the day actually was. She practically crawls over to the door and yes indeed, there stands her girlfriend, bright smile on her face, beautiful as always, with a pink box of donuts in her hands.
Brittany slowly opens one eye as she feels something wet strike over her face. She pulls up her nose but smiles as she sees what it is. ''Heeey Tubsie ... Did you sleep well?'' She picks up the kitten and stands up to go lay on her bed.
For no apparent reason Brittany apparently slept on the ground tonight. She places the little cat on her chest and softly lets her thumb strike over its furr.
''Are you hungry Lord Tubbington? You want some cheeese?''
Brittany gets up again and walks to the kitchen with the cat on her arm. She starts making grilled cheese for breakfast and feeds the kitten little pieces of the melted cheese.
''Yeeah ..you like that, huh?'' Brittany asks smiling as the cat enjoys his treat.
The blonde sits down at her small table and sets Lord Tubbington on her lap.
While eating her sandwich, she suddenly looks over at the clock. It's almost 6:am already.
''Oh no! I can't be late again, Tubbs!''
''Honey? Where's my shampoo?'' Arizona calls from the bathroom.
Callie's head appears around the door. ''I thought I left it in the shower?''
''You did?'' Arizona looks trough the opening of the shower curtains.
''Mmyeah'' Callie mumbles, while rincing her mouth with some mouthwater.
The blonde grins ''Well, why won't you come and help me find it?'' She winks as her wife turns around and raises her eyebrows at her ''I do like the sound of that offer ...''
Arizona giggles as the latina quickly strips off and hops into the shower with her.
''We have to hurry though .. Have to be at work in 40 minutes..'' Callie says
''Hmm we have some time'' The blonde mumbles, before kissing her wife passionately on her lips.
''Ah shit!'' Santana curses, as she runs upstairs for the fifth time this morning. She quickly hops up the stairs to her appartement and struggles with opening the door. Once she gets in, she grabs her phone and slams the door shut behind her.
She drives to the hospital way too fast and almost hits a dog and it's owner. She parks her car on the parking lot and runs inside. She bumps in to someone and wants to snap at them but when the person trips and falls she turns around.
Oh.
It's the catgirl.
Okay, be nice, Santana. Play it nice.
She reaches her hand out to the blonde, who is still confused on the ground.
''Hey, I'm sorry I made you fall, I'm just running late.''
The girl takes her hand and she pulls her up. A bright smile spreads across the blondes face. ''It's alright. I'm late too.''
Santana hints a smile at her. Maybe she isn't that bad. I should give her a chance, she thinks to herself.
''You're heading in the same direction as me, aren't you?'' Santana asks, causing the girl to smile widely. ''Yees ..''
The latina smiles back ''Walk with me?''
The two girls get to the lockerroom just as Dr. Bailey walks around the corner.
''So wait, your cat is actually named Lord Tubsington? '' Santana asks with a big frown on her face. The girl giggles ''It's Lord Tubbington '' she says with a smile.
''Ohw, yeah ..I knew that ..'' Santana shrugs.
''Okay, interns. I hope you all enjoyed your first day, if not, that's not my problem. Dr. Torres and Dr. Robbins will be with you again today but, it seems like they're a bit late ..'' Dr. Bailey clears her troath ''So, I'm going to start off by choosing groups already. There will be a few with me also.''
''Pssst. .'' Santana hears behind her and she turns around to see the blonde looking at her. She smiles back. ''What's up?'' She asks. ''I hope I'm in your group, Santana. '' Brittany says with a smile and Santana smiles goofily at the way the girl says her name.
Before Santana can do anything but grin, the two women suddenly walk into the lockerroom. Dr. Torres and Dr. Robbins both look like they're trying their best not to seem uncomfortable, but apparently Maya knows something's going on.
Emily notices Maya chuckle and trying not to laugh and she looks at her questionly. ''So, you know Robbins and Torres are together, right?'' She whispers.
Emily looks surprised ''No way ..''
Dr. Bailey looks over and Maya quickly puts a finger on her girlfriend's lips and smiles sheepishly at the older woman.
"Can you be any more subtle?'' Maya asks sarcastically, but smiles as Emily pouts at her. ''So anyway, you don't notice something a bit odd today?''
Emily bites her lip like she's thinking really hard,and eventually shakes her head ''I dunno ..''
"'Look at their hair, it's wet, isn't it?'' The girl nods ''Well, they live together, they both have wet hair, they're both late at work ..''
By the upcoming smirk on her girlfriend's face Maya knows she knows.
And although they're not the only one who noticed something was going on, they apparently found it a bit more funny than Dr. Bailey did.
Dr. Robbins clears her troath ''Evans, Lopez, uh .. girl Chang and Pierce, you're with me, c'mon.''
Sam Evans, Santana and Tina Cohen-Chang start walking to Dr. Robbins.
Brittany just stands there.
''Uh, Pierce?''
Santana can't hide smile as she whispers loudly ''Brittany!''
The girl looks up and Santana signs she has to come to her. ''Why do I have to walk with you and Dr. Robbins? The blonde asks frowning and Santana smiles
''You're in my group''
Maya can barely contain her laughter as she and Emily walk with Dr. Torres, or as Maya now calls her, Callie. They slip up quite often though, letting out the slightest hint at a chuckle.
"Is something comical back there?" the older Latina asks. "No, sorry C... Dr. Torres," Maya corrects herself. She eyes her and the swimmer before turning back around. Emily turns and starts talking to another intern about what surgery they might want to go into, so Maya walks up beside Dr. Torres.
"So, you and Robbins... You seem to get along," she chuckles.
Callie blushes. Did this girl suspect something? She had seen her yesterday just before Arizona greeted her, but she had seemed to disappear before anything happened. "Um, yeah, we do," she answered sheepishly. Maya smirks. "How long have you been together?" she asks.
"How did you know?" Dr. Torres questions.
"Well first of all,, Calliope," Maya grins mischievously as she says her full name, "I saw you last night, and second of all, you look at Arizona with this thing in your eyes, I can't describe it but I know that look because it's how I stare at Emily," she explains.
"You know my first name why?" Callie asks, both amused and curious. "I snooped through your personal file," she shrugs.
First time she's heard THOSE words before. "Well, I met Arizona seven years ago, and we were married four years ago," she answers.
"How did she get the name Arizona?" Maya inquires. "Her dad's military ship," she laughs. "Interesting," the darker skinned girl agrees.
''So how was your early morning encounter?'' Maya asks interested, and Callie looks at her like she just got busted. ''Okay ..'' she chuckles ''That's enough for today.''
She looks straight forward again and tries not to look like she's thinking ''Shit shit shit ...'' although that's exactly what she's doing.
It's not that she's ashamed of Arizona, or the fact that she's married to a woman, not at all. But your interns aren't supposed to know everything about your ..private stuff. Certainly not on the second day. So Callie softly sighs in relief as she notices the girl went back to walk with her girlfriend.
She walks in a patient's room and the interns follow her lead.
''Goodmorning, Mr. Conaughey. Time to wake up'' She says, before slowly opening the blinds and letting the sunlight in.
''Interns, this is Mr. Conaughey, his file is over there at the end of the bed. Chang, could you read it to me?''
''Uh, yes ma'am.'' He says as he grabs the file and opens it.
''Mr. Conaughey, 51 years old, diagnosed with lever cancer about two months ago.
''14 years old'' Brittany continues ''Is ...'' she frowns.
''Keep on reading, Pierce. '' Dr. Robbins says encouraging.
''Uh .. is pregnant of ..'' she looks up. ''Dr. Robbins, there's something wrong with this file.. It says she got pregnant by a girl.''
The whole room is suddenly quiet, only Santana chuckles and glances over the blonde's shoulder to look at the file, but she's too small so she can't read it.
Dr. Robbins looks at her with astonishment.
''..W-what?''
''Yeah, look!'' The girl says and she holds the papers in front of the doctor.
Arizona smiles a bit ''Ohw, I see .. It says OF a girl, not BY a girl. It means her baby is female.''
''Yeah .. Are you stupid or something?'' The girl in the hospital bed asks.
''Just keep reading.'' Arizona says, ignoring the girl's comment.
Apparently no one else has noticed the tears starting to glinster in Brittany's eyes except the smaller girl, who was now standing right beside her.
Santana rolls her eyes at Dr. Robbins as she frowns why Brittany isn't reading, and she takes over the file from Brittany.
Before the doctor or any of the interns can object, Santana starts reading. ''Pregnant 7 months and two weeks, no note from the father.''
She looks at the girl laying in bed, who is chewing gum. ''You want some advice from me, kid?''
She doesn't care that the girl says nah. ''First of all, don't chew gum in here. Because if you do, a) You could suffocate your baby, or b) I can suffocate you.''
''Santana Lopez! '' Dr. Robbins yells out. The latina doesn't respond.
''And second of all, if you do want to chew gum, perhaps you should try to prevent being here. You know how to do that?'' She asks sarcastically ''By not being stupid as fuck.''
With those words, Santana ends her speech, throws the file in the arms of an unknown intern, grabs Brittany's wrist, and pulls her with her outside the room.
She lets go of the blonde's arm and walks up to a chair, where she sits down, resting her face in her hands.
She looks up as she feels a hand on her back. ''Sorry you had to see that ..'' she whispers out.
''Why are you always so angry?'' Brittany asks worried.
Santana frowns ''Why are you always so nice?''
