The next day…

"Good Morning, Doctors." Richard nodded at Izzie, George, and Alex who stood on the elevator.

"Good Morning." They all muttered back.

Izzie looked at Alex and nudged him. He glared at her, but she gave him a stern look back.

Alex cleared his throat. "Ah, Chief?"

Richard looked over his shoulder at Alex. "Yes, Dr. Kerev?" He answered turning his head back to the front of the door.

"We're getting a new attending in a few days…" He said looking back at Izzie glaring at her, before turning back to Richard.

"Uh… yes. In three days."

"Oh…" His voice faded.

"What specialty will he or she be joining?" Izzie said stepping forward rolling her eyes at Alex.

Richard looked at George over his shoulder who was standing uncomfortable in the corner. Shifting his glance to Izzie, he sighed.

"Nuero." The doors dinged. He looked back at him to say something. Deciding against it, he turned and walked down the hall.

She watched Owen and Madi passed the ball back and forth in the backyard. Madi screamed as the ball hit her face. She ran over to her mother crying holding her nose

"Owen hit my face." She cried.

"Let me see." Meredith said touching the side of her face. Madi withdrew her hands as Owen came up beside her. Meredith looked at her nose as blood flowed from her nose.

"Blood." Madi screamed when she noticed the blood.

"Calm down, Madi. Come on." Meredith said taking her hand as she stood up.

"I hate you, Owen." Madi yelled.

"Madison Ann Kerev, don't you say that." Meredith scolded. "Owen apologize to your sister."

"I'm sorry, Madi." Owen said looking at the ground.

Meredith's phone rang as they walked into the kitchen. "Hello?" She answered trying to hear over Madi's cries.

"Meredith? What's going on? Who's crying?"

"George." She sighed out as she held a wet rag to Madi's nose. "It's Madi. She got hit in the face with a ball."

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah. She just got a bloody nose. She'll be fine." Meredith looked up to see Owen sitting on the floor by the door playing with his jeans. "Hey, George, let me call you back, okay?"

"Yeah." He said. She shut the phone.

"Hold that there, Madi." Meredith said. She walked over and sat down beside Owen. "What's wrong buddy?"

"I hurt Madi." He sighed. "Now she hates me."

"She doesn't hate you." Meredith said softly.

He was just like his father in everyway. He looked just like him. He had a tough, 'I have to be strong' kind of mood and a soft, sweet, sensitive sight just like his father.

He smiled and nodded. "Alright, Mama."

Meredith kissed her head. "Let me go take care of your sister and call a friend back and we'll go get ice cream and go to the park or something." He nodded as she got up. "Let me see, Madi."

She lifted the wet paper towel from her face and looked. "Is it bad, Mama?"

"Nope, it looks fine." Meredith kissed her head as she got another wet paper towel and wiped the rest away. "All done."

"Thank you, Mama."

"Go play while I call my friend back, and we'll go get some ice cream okay?"

Madi nodded with a big smile before skipping away with her brother.

Grabbing her phone, she dialed George's number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Georgie?"

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Sorry."

"Is she okay?

"Yeah. Thanks."

"No problem. What are you up to?"

"Nothing much. We're going to go get ice cream. Hey, do you want to go get some dinner together tonight after Richard gets home? Just the two of us."

"Yeah, definitely."

"Alright. I'll call you. When do you get off?"

"Five."

"Alright. We'll say around seven or so. You can pick a place. Anything but…"

"Chinese. I know."

"Alright. See you around, George."

"Bye, Mer."

She hung up and walked into the living room.
