Meredith, Christina, Alex, April and Jackson were now officially attendings. They were still getting used to the fact that they were still not residents. The five years that they had spent as surgical residents were indeed the best and worst of their lives. Being attendings they realized how annoying residents were especially interns. Interns were starting to get on their nerves. But it was a thrill by itself to boss around residents. They couldn't help but feeling superior to the residents, just like the other attendings did when they were residents.

Lexie was in a dreamland these days. Her relationship with Mark was as good as new. She had found her speciality and mentor in neurosurgery and Derek Shepherd respectively. On top of all of that she was named Chief Resident! Since April was the last chief resident they needed someone qualified enough to fill in for her. It seemed as though she was made for being Chief resident. Her photographic memory helped her so much with her new responsibilities. She wasn't sure why she decided to become a surgeon nonetheless a neurosurgeon. Once she finished high school she just knew that she was supposed to be a surgeon. Now she was so glad that she became a surgeon. If not for this career choice she wouldn't have met the love of her life, had a relationship with her sister or found the joy she did every time she saved a life.

Bailey on the other hand was hating seeing her former interns in the attendings lounge and meetings. She was of course happy that all of them survived residency but it felt odd to see them in navy scrubs and bossing around residents. It would take a lot of time to get used to the fact that they were her colleagues now not students anymore.

Arizona was now finally able to return to work. She still had discomfort with her prosthetic at times but all that was overpowered once she saw the faces of her patients the tiny humans. Being a pediatric surgeons had its ups and downs and she was definitely not new to them. Even her fellow Alex was now adjusting doing very well to his new status as an attending and she couldn't be prouder of him.

With new attendings came new interns. Many wondered whether with each year did they become dumber. Frankly speaking every employee in the hospital believed it! The new batch set to be tortured were Joe Wilson, Shane Ross, Stephanie Edwards,Leah Murphy and Heather Brooks among others. Joe seemed to have a gift with children and treating them. So she was spending a lot of time with Alex in the pediatric ward


Meredith was slowly starting to think of all the possible abnormalities that could happen to her unborn child. The mother in her was starting to freak out when she thought of all the things that could go wrong. Being a doctor did not help at all, it only helped her in stacking disease after disease in children.

"Derek..Derek! Wake up" she said shaking him out of his sleep.

"What's going on? I was having a dream of Sofia chasing Mark around with a stick. Oh it was hilarious.."

"Derek snap out of it I'm freaking out here!"

"Okay chill what's going on?"

"What if he really has two heads, three arms and eleven toes? What about a huge teratoma?Or maybe a mangioma..what about Degeorge syndrom.."

"Meredith stop..stop calm down those kind of things are very rare. Only 1 in 1000 have those kind of defects"

"What if she is the 1 in 1000 what if she's deaf or dumb or blind or what if he's dead!" she shouted

"Deaf is fine Meredith, Helen Keller went to Harvard. You have to stop worrying and sleep please!" he said finally becoming impatient

"Just saying if anyone's gonna have a kid with two heads extra arms and extra feet that'd be me"

"Will you just go back to sleep" with that he fell asleep probably continuing his dream of Sofia chasing Mark around with a stick

But Meredith couldn't sleep after all she was a mother and it was her job to worry about her kids.


Lexie was Chief Resident for a week now and she seemed like she would never stop. She was starting to freak people out by the amount of work she did. She was like this huge force of energy which never drained of its energy. People tried to talk her into taking a break but whatever others said she wouldn't stop.

All this was affecting Mark. It had been days since he had actually seen her and was starting to get worried of her sanity. He was so worried in fact that he went to Meredith with his fears and asked her to talk to Lexie. She was probably the only person that Lexie would listen to.

"Lexie get up" Meredith told the resident who was sitting and putting out schedules for the residents who would be on call for the next month.

"I can't Mer I have so much work to do I have patients and schedules to fix"

"Seriously Lexie you have got to stop. You are starting to freak people out. I know you have a lot of work but you don't have to do everything right now you have the entire year to do your work. Come on you look like you haven't ever slept in your life. By the way aren't you missing out on something?"

"No I don't think so I mean you've covered pretty much everything. It's fifth year and I have to do a lot of surgery, studying on top of that chief resident duties I think its getting to me"

"Well you've forgotten about Mark. When was the last time you saw him. He was so worried about you. Everybody is. If you don't take a break now I swear I will throw you out of this chair but your luck that I'm carrying a your very unstable nephew or niece who I don't want to loose" she screamed and soon enough she was crying.

" Stupid hormones"

"Alright I'll take a break and see Mark before you start wailing. Jeez Meredith never thought you would be the emotional type!" and she ran out of the room before Meredith could smack her on the head.


"I hear somebody was getting worried about our chief resident" said a now very fresh and unburdened Lexie to Mark

"Well she didn't seem like she was going to stop until somebody knocked some sense into her so obviously I was worried. You know I actually tried to do the same thing Meredith just did but you didn't even hear me!"

"Forget that I'm here now and all we are doing is talking don't you think that's very strange especially for you"

"This is why I love you" he said as he pulled her close and kissed a sensitive spot on her neck.

"Oh man are you evil" she said as she ran her fingers through his hair, and things went on from there.


Miranda Bailey was getting married. She herself could not believe that she was getting married to Ben Warren. All she knew now was that they loved each other, he proposed and she accepted. Now she was left to prepare her own wedding.

First of all she was not one to get all happy and excited over dress fittings, flower arrangements and caterers.

Second she didn't want a big wedding just a small ceremony with few friends and family would be more than enough for her.

Third her fiance wasn't even in town until two days before the wedding and she didn't have the time to arrange a wedding with her career and son.

But nonetheless she had to do it if not for her, for the man she loves. Even her son was more excited than her about the wedding. She was excited for the marriage but not for the wedding. After all she was married once and that was..
