ARE YOU A DOCTOR?
Brittany shrugs. "I like being nice"
"Well I don't," the Latina answers, getting up from her chair. "Certainly not when people hurt my friends."
A puzzled look appears on the blonde's face, before her lips curl up into a wide smile. Santana frowns at her. "What?"
"Are we friends then?" The girl asks, still smiling.
"Oh"
Santana has to think about that. Are they? They barely even talked. But then again, she does seem kinda nice. And it's not like she'd want to be friends with any of those other morons. Except Maya and Emily maybe, they could be fun. Maybe it couldn't hurt to make some friends in here?
She breathes in sharply and then shrugs lightly. "Yeah, I guess we -"
Santana is cut off as suddenly two arms pull her into a hug. Even though Santana secretly is a hugger, she's a bit taken off guard by the blonde's sudden gesture. Processing what's happening, she quickly decides to hug the girl back, thinking Brittany won't let go before she does. And although this girl is practically a stranger, and Santana doesn't like strangers, or people with cats, and the fact that they're standing in the middle of a crowded hospital hallway hugging makes her uncomfortable, despite all that, Santana wraps her arms around Brittany, and leans into her embrace. Because no matter what else is going on, Santana likes hugs, and it's been a while since someone held her like this.
"Psst, Em .."
Emily looks at and gives her girlfriend a confused look. "Why are you whispering?" She asks.
An evil grin appears on Maya's fave and Emily frowns. She knows that look.
That looks means Maya is up to no good, and that she's about to get dragged into her plans.
"Oh noo ... We are not going to pull pranks in our first week here."
Maya slides her hand in Emily's and gives her an innocent smile "Oh, it's not a prank. It's not even against the rules .."
"Hmm .." Emily narrows her eyes and looks at her "Are you completely sure about that ..?"
"Kinda" she winks.
"Okay, gather up. We're going to start rounds in five minutes. Berry, Pierce and Fields, you're with me. St. Germain and girl Chang with Dr. Torres, boy Chang, Hastings and Lopez with Dr. Robins and Evans and Montgomery are with Dr. Shepperd. Now go find your attendant for the day, and fast. No lurking around in the hallways."
Maya shoots her girlfriend another smile and then walks off with the other interns. Emily is instantly greeted by Brittany, who pulls her with her, following dr. Bailey out of the room. There is another girl with them, Rachel Berry. She's really tiny, but the moment they are out of the room, she starts talking, and it seems like she will never stop.
"You know" she starts to Emily "I find this all really exciting, don't you? I mean, I actually didn't really want to be a doctor or something, but my dads insisted that I would go to medical school, so. They're really concerned about my future, of course -"
"- You have two dads?" Brittany asks frowning.
"Yes!" the girl exclaims proudly. "And they are the best dads in the whole world."
"But .." Emily interferes "If they push you to become a surgeon even if you don't want to, then they aren't really the best parents ever, are they?"
Rachel frowns a bit offended "Of course they are, they want me to have a good future, they want the best for me!"
"Would you stop talking for a second?"
The three interns instantly shut up when dr. Bailey turns around and gives them a look. "You can make small talk during lunch, now, rounds."
The girls nod, and their attendant starts walking again. "Wow, someone is extra grumpy today" Brittany whispers.
"I heard that!"
Santana walks through the halls of the Seattle Grace hospital, followed by the two other interns in her group. She sees Arizona Robbins talking to the chief, she looks kind of upset. The blonde nods and the man walks away just as Santana arrives.
"Dr. Robbins?"
The woman looks up and fakes a smile. "Rounds, right. Come on"
Dr. Robbins picks up charts and they walk through the hall. Just as they are about to enter the first room, they hear screaming in the hall.
The blonde instantly turns around and runs back, followed by her interns. A young woman stumbles through the entrance, and a second later they hear ambulances arriving.
"Lopez! Help this woman, get her a bed and take care of her. Chang and Hastings, come with me" Arizona instructs.
Dr. Robbins and the two others run outside, along with a few other doctors. Santana approaches the woman and supports her. The woman leans into Santana like her life depends on it, she's still crying.
"Ma'am? Ma'am, it's okay, I'm going to take care of you now, okay?"
The girl is shaking, she looks up at Santana, terrified.
"Okay, okay, come with me"
Santana brings the woman to the ER and gets her admitted, meanwhile, the ER has been filled with a numerous amount of new patients. "Ma'am, can you tell me what happened to you? Did you have an accident?"
No answer.
"Okay" the girl sighs. At least she isn't screaming anymore. "I'm going to examine you, okay? You seem to have some pretty bad cuts."
As the brunette starts disinfecting the wounds, the woman suddenly nudges her arm. Santana looks up with a frown. "Ma'am, please don't touch me if I'm stitching you. That could end up bad."
The woman ignores Santana's words, and just points at her head. The girl frowns worriedly. "Does your head hurt?"
The woman doesn't give her an answer, and before Santana can say anything else, she's called by dr. Bailey. "Lopez! We need extra hands!"
"But, I already have -"
"- Is your patient dying, miss Lopez?"
"No"
"Then get over here!"
Santana nods and jogs over to doctor Bailey. "What happened?"
"There was an accident, a bus full of school kids collapsed with a truck."
"Really?"
"Yes, really! Now, they need you in trauma, so go!"
The brunette hurries to the trauma department, and passes Emily in the hall way. They hint a smile at eachother and then continue their way through the hospital.
Emily is assigned a 12 year old patient with several internal bleeds, and open wounds and cuts all over her body. She discusses her situation with one of the nurses. After disinfecting and taking care of the open wounds, she checks how bad the girl's bleedings are.
"Are you a doctor?" the girl whispers. Emily smiles softly.
"I am, kind of. I'm still in training"
"Cool" the girl replies.
Emily smiles "Yeah, it is pretty cool."
"Could you do something for me?"
"That depends, I think" Emily replies.
"My best friend, Carla .. She was sitting at the window and .. Can you find out how she's doing?"
Emily takes a deep breath. "I'll try, okay? How bad is your pain right now?"
".. I'm okay"
The brunette raises an eyebrow at her. The girl sighs softly "My head hurts, but it's not that bad .. I just really need to know if she's okay"
"Your head hurts? How bad does it hurt?"
"Hey gorgeous" Emily suddenly hears by her ear. Two arms wrap around her waist and she looks over her shoulder. "Maya, I'm kinda busy right now. Don't you have a patient?"
Maya shrugs "Yeah, but he was reeeally boring .. There was barely anything wrong with him, so I fixed him up and then said he should get some sleep."
"Who is that?" the little girl asks Emily.
"Oh, this is my - uh, Maya. She's also an intern."
"I'm her guurlfrieend" the other girl winks.
Emily turns to her girlfriend and raises an eyebrow. "Maya, there has been a major accident. Help people"
The girl groans, but eventually walks off after pecking Emily on the cheek. The taller girl chuckles when she sees Maya getting a speech by dr. Bailey.
"Sorry about that" Emily turns to the girl again. "I am going to ask dr. Bailey something, I'll be right back, okay?"
The girl nods and Emily makes her way through the crowded room full of of bloody patients and people in white coats. "Dr. Bailey! My patient, Stephanie Rones, has a bad headache. Should I do a CT?"
The doctor narrows her eyes at Emily, making the girl slightly uncomfortable. "Should you?"
The girl shrugs "I think so, yes."
"Well, then go do a CT You can never be sure enough, Fields!"
The second Emily walks off, Brittany comes strolling in to the ER. "Dr. Bailey, anything I can do?"
"Go stitch up that boy in bed 5." Bailey answers, while looking over a chart. Brittany nods and goes searching for bed number 5 when suddenly dr. Torres runs past her with a crash cart.
"I need interns to scrub in, stat!" She shouts, looking around her. "Pierce, let's go!"
The blonde looks up startled. "Me?"
Callie frowns at her. "Do you see another Brittany Pierce here? Let's go!"
"Yes ma'am!" Brittany calls, running after dr. Torres. They seem to be in an incredible hurry, and when the blonde gets to the crash cart, she understands why. A little girl, about 11 years old, is laying on the bed. Her eyes are almost closed and she looks awfully pale. The blonde stares at her and gulps. They finally get into the elevator and Callie quickly rolls the bed in.
"What's wrong with her?" Brittany asks.
"She has had two seizures in the last 30 minutes and she's getting weaker with the second." Callie explains, pressing a button to the floor they have to be. "She sat at the window so the bus practically fell on her. Miraculously, she only had a concussion, but her leg got stuck, and with trying to crawl out it only got worse."
The elevator doors open again and the women rush into the hall. Callie calls a few scrub nurses and two other surgeons suddenly show up out of nowhere.
"You paged me?" dr. Shepperd asks, running along to the OR. "What do we got?"
"Female, eleven years old, got stuck under the bus, has had two quickly following seizures already, I think it's the leg."
Dr. Shepperd nods. "Alright, let's get her prepped then."
Brittany, in the middle of all this chaos, doesn't really know how to feel about all this. She feels kind of excited, because this is her very first surgery, and she feels the adrenaline rush through her body. But on the other hand she's scared, and sad, because this girl is still so young.. What if she doesn't make it?
She's called out of her thoughts by Dr. Torres. "Pierce! What are you standing there? Get in here"
Brittany washes her hands and dries them. She quickly walks into the room and from that moment, does everything what Dr. Torres tells her to.
"Maya St. Germain, you are absolutely nuts."
The girl laughs as she pulls Emily behind her through the hall. "Secretly you love my crazy plans"
"Sometimes" Emily smiles, but then stops walking. Maya turns around and frowns. "But babe, there are people we have to take care of now .. I have a patient who -"
Emily is shut up by Maya's lips pressing on hers. "Hm" the girl hums softly. "Never mind.."
She feels Maya smile against her lips, before the girl breaks the kiss, shows a charming smile, and opens the door to an on-call room.
