Married from the start

A Hard Day's Night Part 2

They arrived at the helipad where a trauma was being flown in. They quickly transfer the young girl on to the gurney as they were being informed of the girl's current medical status.

The four interns were frantically trying to assist the young seizing patient.

"Alright, get her on her side." Dr.Bailey instructed them.

"Izzie, ten milligrams diazepam I.M." She commanded.

"No, no.The white lead is on the right. Righty, whitey - smoke over fire." She yells at Meredith while She correct her actions.

"A large-bore I.V. Don't let the blood hemolyze. Let's go!" She now speaks to a frazzled George.

Meredith let out a sigh of relief when the diazepam kicked in and the patient stopped seizing.

"Uh, what have we got? A wet fish on dry land." Says a strong male voice that fill the small room. Meredith turns to the voice to see a tall dark skinned man at the end of the patients bed.

"Absolutely Dr. Burke." Bailey agrees.

"Dr. Bailey, let's shot gun it." He says while intently staring at a slightly dazzled Meredith.

"That means every test in the book. C.T., CBC, chem-7, tox screen."'The Nazi' informs.

"Cristina, you're on labs. George, patient work-ups. Meredith, get Katie for a C.T. She's your responsibility now." She commands to the young interns.

"Wait. What about me?"Izzie interjects before Dr. Bailey has a chance to leave the room.

"Honey, you get to do rectal exams." She states while looking her up and down. Anyone could tell she didn't believe the blonde intern could handle it.

The one place in the whole hospital Meredith didn't know where to find was C.T. It's not typically a place a five year old could just wander into which is how she knew where everything else in this building was.

Meredith's only thought was 'of course I'm sent to the one place I don't know where to find'. Meredith had been pushing Katie on a gurney back and forth through hallways for the last twenty minutes. Meredith was just about to give in and page Derek to help her. He would be able to get her to C.T being a neurosurgeon and all. He spent half his time at C.T.

The elevator doors open, Katie looks around. "You're lost." She states.

"I'm not lost. How are you feeling?" Meredith asks trying to distract her from the fact that Meredith had no idea where she was going.

"How do you think I'm feeling? I'm missing my pageant." Katie said in a distressed tone while Meredith pushed her down another hallway.

"You're missing your pageant?" Meredith questions with slight relief after spotting a sign that directed her to C.T.

"The spokane teen miss. I was in the top 10 after the first 2 rounds. This is my year. I could have won." Katie replied.

Katie kept rambling about her pageant while being pushed towards C.T.

Meredith felt that this shift could not go any slower, all she wanted to do was curl up in bed with her husband but she was only on the seventh hour of her forty-eight hour shift.

Katie's C.T had come up clean, leaving them with no Idea what was causing her seizures.

As she entered the cafeteria for lunch, she could see her fellow interns gathered around a table. On her way to the table she spotted George looking at her while stuffing his mouth. She could tell they were talking about her which probably meant they were talking about her mother unless they had found out about Derek but they had been so careful so she was sure they were talking about her mother. She dropped down at the table with a sigh.
