"So Derek wants to move in," Meredith started. "And I told him sure why not and then 5 seconds later I don't think it's a good idea do you think its soon? I mean he just broke up with Rose not even 24 hours ago and-
"Meredith!" Cristina cut her off. "Shut up. You know shut up about Derek. Shut up about moving in with Derek, Shut up about your relationship because you know want to know why. I've heard it all before. Yeah, you know, you guys get together, and I have to listen to it, then you guys break up, and I have to listen. I can't take it anymore!"
"Cristina," Meredith intervened. "No!" Cristina snapped. "You know what? That's it I'm done!"' Cristina shouted and turned to go back inside but before she could take a step her foot slipped and an icicle from the roof and punctured her chest and began gasping looking around terrified. "Hold on Cristina!" Meredith yelled running back into the hospital.
Major Hunt had just finished a phone call with his mother and he was in good spirits when he stepped back up the parking lot of the main entrance of the hospital when he saw a shadow of dark curly hair spread across the pavement.
It was her.
He saw Cristina lying on the ground gasping with an icicle in her chest. He stood in front of her with a wry grin," Damsel in distress." He couldn't help but chuckle slightly. He reached down and wrapped his arms gently around her to pick her up and not cause her extra pain to the wound and walked back inside the hospital. "How did you get into a mess like this?" he asked with a slight smile. Cristina gasped slightly as their eyes met before she spoke," So not... in the mood for small talk right now." He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Fair enough Dr. Yang... We'll get you fixed up then. He found an empty exam room and laid her on the gurney.
She winced again, "Dammit, Meredith you and your Mcdramas."
"You know talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity," he added and was about to start an examination when Meredith came in.
"How are you feeling Cristina?" she asked.
"How does it look like I'm doing?" Cristina snarled at her. "Can you just pull it out?"
Suddenly the chief stormed in hearing what happened, "Yang! What the hell happened? Get her on a monitor, and order a portable chest x-ray."
"I'm fine my vitals are stable just pull it out," Cristina said through clenched teeth.
"You be quiet," the chief ordered with a stern look. "Major Hunt since you're already in here I'm going to give you privileges to treat her," he finished leaving the room with Meredith. Cristina laid back and closed her eyes for a second and opened them to see Major Hunt looking at her. He sat on the edge of the gurney, "So how are you feeling?"
"How do I look like I'm feeling?" She muttered.
"You look like you could be better just lose the icicle then you'll be a doll again," he smirked at her.
Cristina shot him a look seriously and wanted to punch the guy in camouflage now was not the time for games. "Let's try this again how are you feeling?" He asked her again.
"I'm fine just pull it out," she said harshly. "She's certainly very feisty," he thought to himself. Demanding that the icicle should be pulled out glaring at him as if she wanted him dead and he figured he'd better comply but feisty was most definitely turning him on.
"Just take the damn thing out!" balling her hands into fists. She had better things to do than be lying in the ER with a stupid icicle in her chest. "No you get stabbed in the chest and you're lucky enough to still be breathing," He said to her and earned a glare in return.
"Take it out," Cristina argued again.
"Leave it in," he insisted and was about to grab the door handle when he heard her speak, "And where the hell are you going?"
"I'm just going to go some supplies unless you want me to leave you here impaled," he chuckled.
"Fine! Just hurry up!" she shouted at him.
While he was gone, the chief had sent 3 interns to Cristina so she could go back to the basics it was when one of the interns pulled out their phone and started taking pictures of her she lost her temper, "Stop taking pictures and take my picture you know what alll of you out! Find me someone with a brain."
"Were those your interns?" Major Hunt said putting the supplies he found on a tray. "They look pretty scared of you."
For a second Cristina doesn't know if she should be insulted by the comment or just concerned about what he thinks of her. Note to self: She wanted to strangle Major Hunt
"I'm not scary!" Cristina huffed as she rolled her eyes at him.
He nodded clearly amused, "Right... your interns seem attentive."
"Attentive my ass. Taking pictures of me with their cell? I'm impaled by an icicle. I can't defend myself. I am helpless here I am disposed," she said frowning crossing her arms towards her chest. He had been looking at her chart and flipped it shut. "If you were in their place you'd do the same exact thing."
"I-" she stopped when she saw that he was right. "Shut up!" She shouted at him.
"You know you're kind of rude," he returned lightly. "I saved you out there."
"You did not," she spat out.
"Admit it I saved you," he said giving her a look. Cristina rolled her eyes, "Yeah yeah you saved the poor girl in the tower what do you want the Nobel Peace prize?" she huffed at him. He sat down by her side and looked at her. "What?" she asked. "Nothing it's just I've seen a lot in the field but never an icicle."
"Well Major Hunt like you said you saved me out there or something," she reminded him.
