Grey Sloan Memorial cafeteria, the residents sit and enjoy their break between surgeries, and share a large plate of cheese fries.

"Why didn't you get any bacon on these?" Leah complained to Heather, who had bought the extra-large cheese fries for them all to share. "This cheese is like rubber and they have no taste."

"Wait, I thought you were vegetarian?" Stephanie asked as she claimed a fry for herself.

"Yeah well, it's a sliding scale and I slid over to bacon," Leah sighed. "And steak, and chicken, and pork, and meat in general. It's kind of a new development… that I can't really talk about, but if you want to…"

"Nah, we're fine." Shane shut her down.

"You can tell me about it," Heather said, a genuine smile on her face. "Lay it on me."

Leah just stared at Heather's smile, her own appeared involuntarily. "Uh… um, I uh…." She stammered. Heather looked on expectantly, her eyebrows raised.

Leah remained at a loss for words as she gazed at Heather until a pair of fingers snapped in her face. "Murphy!"

Leah blinked and looked up to see Callie Torres standing there. "Dr. Torres! What… uh, what can I do for you?"

Callie narrowed her eyes at Leah, "You can join us for lunch." She points toward the table where Arizona, Meredith, Cristina, and April are sitting.

"Oh… uh, ok, I'll uh…"

"Just come on, we need to talk," Callie left the table without another word.

"Oh my god, what did you do to get that invite?" Stephanie asked.

"You don't want to know," Leah replied.

"Did you sleep with someone? Because that kind of brown nosing is gross." Shane said.

"What? No? I would never… I mean, I would… but I didn't," Leah looked over her shoulder to see if Dr. Torres and the others were looking, "It's what I was try to tell you about earlier… something happened the…"

"Murphy!" Callie yelled. "Now."

"I gotta go," Leah grabbed up the fries and left.

"Hey, we were supposed to be sharing those," Stephanie complained as she watched Leah join the attendings at their table.

"Something is up with her, she's different somehow. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something has changed." Heather said.

"Who cares," Shane said. "Go get us more fries."

Leah walked up to the table and all eyes were on her.

"Sit," Arizona pointed to the chair next to Callie.

Leah complied without question. "Good girl," Cristina said and tossed a carrot at her. "Sorry I don't have a biscuit."

"Cristina," April started. "You promised, no dog jokes."

"Correction, you said 'no dog jokes' and I pretended to agree," Cristina said.

"It's true," Meredith said. "She had her fingers crossed. She showed me."

"What is all this about?" Leah asked

"It's about your," Arizona looked around and lowered her voice, "condition."

"Your vet from Tibet will be here soon," Callie said.

"You gotta see a man about a dog," Cristina added. She shrugged her shoulders at April disapproving glare, "What? It's funny."

"Oh, that's great…" Leah started. "So, I just…"

"You meet Bokhee after your shift… in the 'room'," Arizona said. "She'll be there with the specialist and they'll teach you to…"

"Roll over and fetch," Cristina said.

"Yang… you are taunting a werewolf," April said. "You don't see the problem with that?"

Cristina looked over at Leah who just smiled, and possibly growled a little. "Fine," she said. "I'll call off the dogs."

"They'll help you," Arizona said after poking Cristina in the arm.

"But," Callie added. "You need to keep this secret. It's safer for your friends if don't share this."

"I know it's a hard secret to keep," Meredith said. "I haven't even told Derek."

"We just want you to know that we are here if you need to talk." April added. "This is all new to me too. I just found out at Callie and Arizona's wedding."

"No one else knows." Arizona said.

"I can't believe this," Alex stormed up to the table. "You let Kepner and Murphy join your little group, but I'm stuck sitting with the residents?"

"Your girlfriend is one of those residents, Alex," Callie said. "What's the problem?"

"The problem is…" Alex growled. "I know you guys are up to something. Something you do in that stupid room downstairs, and one of these days I'm going to find out what."

"Alex, relax it's nothing," Arizona said. "It's just…"

"It's just… girl stuff," Callie added.

"Yang doesn't do 'girl stuff'," Alex replied.

"Tampons," April said.

"What?" Alex looked at her like she was crazy.

"Tampons, tampons, tampons," She said again and again.

"Are you trying to scare me away by talking about tampons?" Alex asked. "Because I'm a doctor, I'm not afraid of…"

"Menstrual cycles? Maxi pads? Bras…" Callie added. "Feminine products…"

"Vaginal…" Arizona started.

"Whatever," Alex finally cracked and walked away.

"That was fun," Arizona giggled.

"We scared him away with girl power," April agreed and high-fived Arizona.

"Ugh, you scared me away too, I'm leaving," Cristina said.

"I'm with Cristina," Meredith said. "But… not because I'm afraid of girl words. I have surgery in twenty."

Callie and April's pagers started buzzing. "Looks like we're done here too," April said. "Good luck tonight, Dr. Murphy."

"Yeah, be a good girl, Murphy," Callie added with a wink and tousled the hair on top of Leah's head. She leaned over and kissed her wife goodbye, and followed April out of the cafeteria.

"So," Arizona picked her drink and moved the straw up and down in the cup.

"So?" Leah looked around uncomfortably. She felt a little uneasy since she found out that the Robbins-Torres' thought she had a 'thing' for Dr. Robbins.

"Callie mentioned you wanted to talk about some things you've been feeling?" Arizona questioned.

"Um… you don't have to…" Leah stammered. "I have a lot to deal with right now… I don't really have time for a relationship, lesbian or otherwise… and this is really awkward."

"Why?" Arizona asked. "I don't bite."

"Maybe I do," Leah laughed.

"I hope not," Arizona said. "No offense…. But, Callie and I have some supernatural life changes to adjust to ourselves, adding lycanthropy would be… for the dogs."

"Plus… you want a baby," Leah added. "Not a puppy."

Arizona laughed as her pager came to life, she gave it a glance, "Looks like they need me too." She grabbed her lunch trash to leave, "You're good sport, Murphy."

"Yeah, well… every dog has his day"
