"What happened? Owen?" Cristina said waking up and turning her head. She was looking directly at her ex husband's face. He looked back at her with an equally confused expression until he realized what happened. "You-you comforted me because Teddy cheated on me and I think we fell asleep... I'm so sorry that I got you into this situation."
"It's OK." Cristina said while moving into a sitting position and turning to leave the bottom bunk of the on-call room. "I'm gonna leave now and you're gonna leave later. I don't want people to think something happened between us, OK?" Cristina said while standing up and fixing her hair and her clothes in the Mirror of the on-call room. She took one last glance into Owen's direction and physically cringed because of the awkwardness of this situation. She quickly opened the door and left the room without being seen by anyone and hurried into her new office.

Cristina Yang's Pager started to go off, there was a cardio consult needed in the pit. Cristina hurried out of her office and rushed into the pit. The resident who paged Cardio, Dr. Schmitt started to walk towards Cristina. "Chief Yang, the patient is  Marcus Miller, male and 68 years old. He presents with chest pains and pain in the left arm." "Diagnosis Dr....?" "Schmitt ma'm, Dr. Levi Schmitt. It looks like a heart attack. I already made an EKG and it shows signs of a heart attack." They walked to the patient in ER bed 7 and Cristina Introduced herself. "Hello Mr. Miller, I am Dr Yang. How are you today, what made you come here?" "Hello Dr... Dr. Yang... Owwww... My chest hurts as if it's cramping... Uhhhhh. And my left arm... Owwww... Please, please help me... And my stomach hurts too, right here..." He said and pointed exactly to where the appendix is located. "it hurts more when you let it go, than when you just press down..." Mr. Miller said.

"Schmitt, Page general and get me another resident, you are off the case." "Wh-why Dr. Yang?" "Just GO!" "OK..."

"Hello Chief Yang, Mr. Miller, I'm Dr. Helm, I'm the new resident on this case." Cristina looked at Taryn Helm and finally had a face to the name... So this resident is madly in love with Meredith... Cristina, cruel as she is, already started to think of ways to make Helm confess it, or to show Helm that Meredith Grey is the straightest person she ever knew...
"Hello Dr. Helm. We'll wait for the general consult. Meanwhile you can read the chart and make yourself familiar with the patient. Mr. Miller, I will give you some morphine so it doesn't hurt that much." "Thanky you, Doctor."

Meredith walked through the surgical floor wondering where Cristina was. She hadn't seen her since she went to look how Owen was. Meredith really wondered what happened in the on-call room. But why did Cristina come back? Was it for Owen? No, she knew he was actually supposed to get married. Why did Cristina come then? Did anyone else know she was coming? Maybe Hayes? Oh there he is...
"Hayes, hey, Hayes!" Meredith said loudly so he can hear her." "Dr. Grey, what is it?" He asked in his Irish accent. "Did you know, Cristina was coming here? because she really didn't tell me." "I am just as clueless as you are." "Oh... OK... Uhhmm Hayes?" "Yes, Dr. Grey?" "Does the offer for whiskey in your Office still stand? Because I'd really like to take it. Let's say Friday at 9?" "That's a great Idea. My shift end about then so that's a great idea." "Ohh... Yes yes, let's meet then, bye Hayes, see you." Meredith rambled nervously. "Bye Dr. Grey." Before Meredith could say anything else her pager went off for a consult for the pit. She sped to the ER and saw  Levi Schmitt. "Schmitt, come with me, I have a consult." "Dr. Grey, I can't, Chief Yang threw me off the case." "Schmitt, come, now."

Entering the emergency room Meredith Grey could already see Cristina with Dr. Helm. She walked towards them, Schmitt was following her.
"Hey Dr. Yang, looks like I'm the general consult on your first case here." Meredith said with a smile. "At leas someone who is good... But what is he doing here?" "He's with me." "But I kicked... We already had numbers and dwarf names, what do you call him, Mer?" "Glasses." "Yeah, I already kicked Glasses of the case." "Why?" "Tell her why, Glasses..." Cristina said, glancing at Levi. "I... I forgot to check his abdominal pain and page general because I was just focusing on his heart attack." Meredith looked at him and handed him her phone. "OK, Schmitt, you're off the case, take my phone, the code is 1324, call April Kepner and ask her what happened when she forgot something in the ER and then go and help another patient and don't forget anything. So Helm, tell me, why I am here." "The patient has what looks like appendicitis, tenderness over the McBernies point, abdominal pain. And a heart attack." "OK, Helm, take him to CT Stat. Page us when it's finished."

Meredith had a short Consult with another patient in the ER before her pager went off. She took the elevator to CT where she met Owen. She lokked at him empathetic. When the elevator stopped on radiology she sped to CT where she met Cristina and Helm.
"It looks like Appendicitis but we caught it early so there is still time left before we have to operate." Meredith said. "The wall of the heart looked like it teared a little bit, I have to go in before it gets worse, we could go in together." Cristina said. "Helm, you're scrubbing in." Meredith said. "OK, thank you Dr. Grey, I really appreciate it." "Now go, prep the OR." Cristina ordered when Helm leaving took her too long. Cristina started to laugh and Meredith joined in... "Oh my gosh, she is worse than Bambi and he had it really bad for you..." "Cristina, leave her alone, it's not her fault, she's really nice. And I think she knows nothing's ever gonna happen." "I hope so, how is it going with you and McWidow?" "We're having Whiskey in his office on Friday at 9..." "That's great, he's a great guy and I actually hope that something happens between the two of you when I'm not getting any you have to get it for me, Mer." "You remember how Jackson had this crush for you? I mean he really is hot and he just broke up with this weird firefighter. He doesn't look like he's getting any either. Maybe you both could hook up..." "I don't know..."
They were pulled out of their conversation when their pagers signaled that the OR was ready.



Hey guys, here's another Chapter for you. I had a lot to do with school, that's why I didn't really upload anything. I'm kinda bad with updates on time and I only have a way I'm headed to but not really a storyline planned out. So I just keep writing and the storyline builds itself while I'm writing... If you have any ideas or wishes for the story like what should happen I'd really appreciate it if you would comment or text me in the private chat. I really hope you like this chapter and I would be really happy for comments because your comments and your support are what keeps me writing this story.
This Authors note is already too long so I'll just stop and I really hope you liked the chapter...
