Sister, Sister¹

Overprotective Cavemen

*Flashback*

Ivy sits in her hospital bed, flipping through a magazine without actually reading it because Derek had banned her from doing anything until he or Jackson could take her home.

She hears a knock on the door and as she's expecting anyone or her coworkers or nurses she says, "Come in."

"Hey."

She looks up, surprised to see Jonathan, "What are you doing here?"

"What? A boyfriend can't come visit his girlfriend in the hospital? From our conversation earlier and mine with Jackson, I should be here," he shrugs, sitting in the seat that Jackson occupied when she woke up.

"That would be true, except that I broke up with you. So why are you here?" Ivy asks, grabbing the button to call the nurse just in case.

"Yeah, I want to talk about that.  I don't want to break up. I mean, I thought we had a good relationship," Jonathan says.

Ivy snorts, "What freakin relationship? We don't ever actually spend time together. We always cancel, only talk over the phone. That's no relationship."

At that moment, Jackson walks in, head looking at his phone, "Hey, Derek got pulled into emergency surgery so I'm- oh, hey Jonathan. What's going on?"

"Jonathan was just leaving. And I'm not changing my mind, we're over," Ivy crosses her arms.

"Fine. Whatever," he leaves.

Jackson looks at Ivy, "So-"

She shakes her head, "Nope, we're not talking about it, I just want to go home."

He laughs, "Alright, Princess. Let's get you home before your brother decides to keep you here."

Ivy was going home after brain surgery and a breakup. What a weird day.

*A Few Weeks Later*

"Hunt! Why is my name off the O.R. board? I was supposed to scrub in with Torres today," Ivy asks her mentor.

"I just don't think you're ready," he tells her.

Ivy sighs, she'd been having this battle everyday with different people telling her she wasn't ready, "I was cleared by Nelson, then you asked my to get cleared by Wyatt and I did. Now who do I need to get cleared by to prove that I'm ready?"

He shakes his head, "I don't know. For now, schedule surgeries, study for your-"

"Hey, Hunt. I know that you want her sidelined, but with the twins, I need her," Ivys savior came in the form of Callie Torres.
