George interrupted Izzie, "Someone's at the door, open it."
"Why me? You open it!
"Fine, I'll open it." Meredith stood up hesitantly.
Meredith opened the door. To her surprised, she saw Cristina looking miserable.
"Cristina what happened?" Meredith whispered, trying not to get Izzie and George's attention.
Before Cristina could answer. She pulled Meredith to her car. Meredith at first was resistant but then she decided to follow her. They went to the back of the house.
"Burke tried to break up with me but I didn't give him a chance…" Meredith cut her off.
"Then what's the problem? You're still together right?"
"No, I broke up with him instead because I don't want to give him a chance to make dump me again." Cristina quickly answered.
Cristina grasp Meredith's both elbows and told she'll be staying with them. Meredith let her in. Meredith knows that Cristina is a private person and she is aware how she doesn't want to be questioned. So, she just let the topic go. George and Izzie kept asking her a lot of questions but Cristina completely ignored them and went straight to Meredith's room.
SGH's Parking Lot
4:00AM
They are walking through the entrance. Meredith came in first, followed by George and Izzie, then Cristina.
"I'm sure; you had a fight with Burke." Izzie guessed.
"That's why you went to Meredith's last night." George said innocently which gets to Cristina's nerves.
"We broke up. Now can you mind your own business and stopped talking to me!" By the time Cristina had said it, they were already at the elevator with Alex.
"No wonder, you're acting crazy so early in the morning. Cause most of the time you're smiling telling us you have a great career and great sex life with your great boyfriend."
Izzie, George, and Alex laughed while Meredith is suppressing her laugh with a smile at the back right corner of the elevator. The elevator opened to the floor no one is even interested to get in.
"Shut up Evil Spawn before I kick your ass!" Cristina annoyingly tried to push the closed button.
Intern's Locker Room4:30AM
The interns are all dressed up and fully equipped for the pre-rounds but the day is a bit slow. They are busy pissing off Cristina when Bailey came in, "Why is it, that I always see you having a tea party in here? You are doctors here. This is a hospital you should impress your resident, and your attendings." The interns readied their self to leave the room.
First Patient's room "Good morning Dr. Burke, who's going to present?" "Good morning." Burke is wearing the same expression Cristina does, controlled and wary, which everyone notice.Cristina "Nicole Hart 33, was admitted last night at the ER with symptoms of chest pains, shortness of breath, syncope, palpitations and a murmur on her cardiac exam. ECG shows premature ventricular complex and Holter monitoring shows that she is positive for ventricular tachycardias. She was referred to cardiologists, Dr. Burke because of persevering shortness of breath and palpitations."
"I want an echo. Let me know as you get the results." Handing the chart to her.
"Right away Dr. Burke."
"Thank you, Dr. Yang."
"Welcome Dr. Burke."
The professionalism between the two is so amazing to watch that makes Bailey proud of Cristina but a bit sad because something wrong is going on with them.
"I still can't believe how they do that in front of other people. Talk and work with each other as if nothing happened." Izzie loudly commented on Meredith, which Bailey heard.
"Yeah, they're professionals but didn't you see how distant they were? Come on, if those two didn't broke up, the environment would not have been hostile." Alex made a point, which surprises Dr. Bailey.
She hates the way her interns' gossip in the middle of shifts but it really saddens her to find out that Dr. Burke and Cristina broke up. Cause they brought out the best in each other. She still hates them for erasing her name on the board but she believes that they indeed are a great team to put up stunt like that, risking each other's career to protect each other and to make their relationship work.
Second Patient's room
"Good morning Dr. Bailey, Interns…" Addison seems to be in a good mood today.
"Good morning Dr. Montgomery."
Alex "Eunice Matthews 27, is pregnant of 36wks, Gravida 2 and Para 1. Contractions are of moderate intensity, every 8 to 9 minutes, 45 seconds duration. Cervix dilated 8cm, 80 effaced. Membranes intact. FHR of 147; fetus in ROA position. Normal vital signs. Have attended childbirth education classes and had practiced breathing exercises."
Dr. Montgomery: Everything looks good. Monitor her contractions, dilatations, her FHR, and her v/s. If a change had occurred or if her labor pushes page me.
Alex nodded. While the three interns left with Dr. Bailey.
Third Patient's room
"Good morning." Shepherd greeted them.
"Good morning, Dr. Shepherd. Who's presenting?" Bailey turns to the interns.
"I am." George raised his hand and step forward.
George "Czarina Watson 24 fell of the stairs last three weeks of her house and was just admitted at the ER this morning with complains of photophobia, severe headache, and nausea and vomiting. This is her first visit to have a check-up.
"and syncope. I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry there's just too much on my head. I am still taking my M.D. at Stanford. I am actually planning to have a check-up before but my fiancé had an accident last two weeks so I have to take care of him but he's fine now. So my plans were delayed." She gave them a faint smile.
"We'll do our best to get to the bottom of this." Shepherd being McDreamy and nice.
Shepherd switches his attention to George, "I want a CT and page me right away as the results came out."
"Yes, Dr. Shepherd."
"Dr. Shepherd, Stevens is still in probation and I am going to leave her here under O'Malley's supervision. Is that fine?" Bailey before leaving.
"Sure."
"and Grey you're with me." As they leave the patient's room.
