He rushed her into the hospital, this intern … who injured her ankle slipping in the snow … he was so handsome …dreamy …. Strong… he wore a military uniform ….
"Hey Christina…. Christina ….. CHRISTINA"! Meredith's voice broke her from her daydream
"What"?!
"Can you please wiggle your toes for me, I'm trying to assess how hurt you are" Meredith continued
"I'm fine … Hey who is the redhead"?
"I don't know, but Mark was talking to him like they've known each other for forever"
"Shhh stop talking …Stop talking he's coming this way…..*she hushed Mer* Hey! Excuse me"!
Owen stared at her as he walked past
"Ya you… redhead who helped me" Christina pressed him
"Yes"? Owen stopped
"Thanks… for …um… helping me" Christina stammered
"Course, I always help a lady in distress *his phone rang* HEY YOU….Just a sec , sorry I gotta take this" Owen walked away smiling as he chatted on the phone.
A few Days later a tall slender strong built woman clearly military walked in with a toddler holding onto her hand trying to keep up she walked up to Alex "Hello can you point me in the direction of Chief Webber please"?
"5th floor office K…daycare is down this hall to your left" he smirked
"Thank you *she smiled* come on sweetpea"
"Chef Webber ! It's always a pleasure to see you"! The blonde was ushered into his office
"Always fabulous seeing an former student , how's motherhood treating you? I should have guessed my two finest students would have hooked up…who is this?"
She laughed "well …yes… however many years later. This is Leo, can you say Hello to Dr. Webber"? She ran her hand through his curly locks Leo hid into her side
"Dr. Altman …thank you for returning my phone call , I think you'll be pleasantly surprised,I have a budding up-and-coming cardiothoracic intern…. She lives breathes eats hearts… she reminds me of yourself in your youth… I know you were looking for a young buck to teach so …here you go "
"Um… sir.. That would be wonderful but…" Teddy was interrupted
"What… what is it Altman, is someone else wooing you with a better salary… name your price…we'll pay double… NO TRIPLE your salary" he frantically asked a bit flustered
She looked at him in surprise "NO… NO …No… sir HA , I was medically discharged and returned home to Seattle …"
"OH ! That makes no difference, whatever it is we will work around! and It's wonderful having you home….Is it Altman or Hunt now "!? He hugged her as he did he noted Yang running down the hall
"Outside of the hospital I am Hunt, professionally I am Altman".
"Yang can you come in here for a minute please?! I want to introduce you to …" he was interrupted
"Dr. Webber! * Christina yelled* There is a trauma that just came in and the Medical ID states to contact an "Owen Hunt" or a "Teddy Altman" ?
Webber and Altman looked at each other perplexed "Well …let's go, Altman…" Taking Leo Webber guided her to the trauma bay
"Megan…..*Teddy gasped, she reached out her hand to brush away Megan's hair * OH Megan… I knew you were alive I knew it"!
"Who is Megan"? Alex asked
"Owen Hunt's sister" Webber answered
"OHHHH so your boyfriend has a sister… did you know that Yang"? Alex teased her as Teddy looked on
"Teddy…it's really you"? A raspy voice said
"It's me, I'm here…you're safe…It's okay, we found you"! She comforted the mangled woman
"Teddy, out …."*Webber admonished her*
"Someone needs to call Hunt" She said quietly as she walked out into the waiting room
"Teddy …what kind of name is Teddy? Is her full name Teddy Bear"? Alex and Christina laughed
Webber stopped them "Her name is Theodora Altman and she is one of the greatest Cardiothoracic/ Trauma Surgeons of our time… her years in the military are insurmountable, she has saved countless men and women and she has pioneered many of the surgical techniques we use today…She was the Chief of one of the few Medical Task forces who initially took on COVID-19, so I suggest you show her some respect".
