Sister, Sister¹

History

"Derek, I was on your service already this month and I heard that there was a new cardio attending-" Ivy complains.

Derek cuts her off, "-I know but I miss my little sister so I'm using my attending powers."

They have a stare off, "Fine."

Meredith goes up to them, "Ivy, hey. Derek, Izzie is here with a patient for you."

"Izzie? Shes back?" Derek asks.

Meredith waves him over, "Oh, just come on."

"So you're an evolutionary biologist?" Derek asks Dr. Singer as he does a routine checkup.

"Mm. I was. I was part of a research team... on my way to the Galapagos Islands when suddenly my father died and of course I had to go back home. Next thing I know, I'm back in Chehalis, marrying my high school sweetheart and teaching biology to kids who would rather be anywhere else," Dr. Singer says.

Ivy smiles at him while also staying away from Izzie. She doesn't know her very well but from what she has seen and heard from Reed, she is not someone Ivy wants to be around.

Derek compliments, "I hear you're an excellent teacher."

"Isobel is an excellent student. Shes gonna be a doctor herself someday. If she doesn't get too distracted."

Derek smiles at Izzie, "Hmm. Well, everything looks good, Dr. Singer. What we're gonna do, is have Dr. Shepherd over here, take some blood."

"Ouch."

"And someone is going to run some tests. Okay?"

"Okay." He says.

Derek nods at Ivy, "Stevens."

They exit and Ivy preps all the tools she will need, "Alright Dr. Singer, you are going to feel a little pinch. And done with this."

He looks between the siblings, "Are you two married? I couldn't help but notice the last names."

"Oh, no. No. We are siblings. He is my older brother," Ivy explains, "Okay, I'm going to run these down to the lab. Isobel or Dr. Shepherd will be back on shortly."

Ivy walks out to Derek and Izzie. She listens to the end of their conversation, "His wife is dead, he has no kids-"

"Where the hell have you been? You missed your I.L.-2 appointment," Cristina comes over with Meredith behind her.

"You told Cristina I was here? Mer,  who else did you tell?" Izzie complains.

Charles comes up behind them, "Well, well, well. Look whos back."

"This guy? You told the guy who got me fired?"

Meredith defends herself, "I didn't tell him. I don't even know him. Its my first day back."

"Dr. Percy is on Dr. Shepherds service with me today," Ivy says, looking up from the chart briefly.

Charles goes over to Ivy, "And I didn't get you fired. You did that all by yourself."

"Dr. Percy, Dr. Singer needs a full dementia work-up. Dr. Stevens will give you the details. Dr. Shepherd, follow me," Derek tells him.
