It has been a week since the bomb went off.

Meredith went flying backwards,
Bomb fragments flying,
And Dylan dying,

But it's all over now.

Daphne steps into the intern locker room with Cristina trailing behind her, "You know, he's acting like I commited a crime! Like my apartment is full of stolen goods." Daphne continues to her locker, slipping off her dark brown leather jacket and skinny ripped black jeans, grabbing the light blue scrubs that sit patiently; waiting for her.

"He's acting like I kept my apartment to hide stolen goods, so I could do illegal transplants for money."

Daphne look over to Cristina tucking her top into her pants with a raised brow, "Are you sure he's not just acting like you lied about moving in?"

Meredith looks over her shoulder and nods, "I agree with Daph Cristina. I mean you kept a whole apartment from him."

Cristina turns slowly and looks at Meredith confused, "Okay, what's wrong with you?"

"My mommy's a filthy whore."

"Jake Burton, 15, has advanced Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. Was admitted last night after complaining of headaches." The boy's mother cuts Cris off, "And he's not a complainer." Jake's father continues for her, "He's been having some nausea as well."

"Really, okay? May I, please? Jake, can I get up to sit up, please?" Derek stands next to Jake's bed and lifts up his finger and tells him to look right there. The boy notices Cristina's discomfort, "You know if you pretend I'm a lion, it helps."

Daphne quietly giggles at Jake's words and he looks over to her smiling, proud he made her laugh, "If you pretend I'm a lion instead of a really messed up kid, you get a talking circus animal! Which is way easier to look at."

Derek chuckles and looks up from Jake and over to Daphne where she is standing on the other side of Jake, "Dr. Torres what's our immediate concern?"

"That the bony tumors are growing inward and encroaching on his brain." Derek gives her a proud nod and everybody but Jake and his parents begin to leave the room.

After going over Jake's labs, Daphne heads over to the nurses station, "Hey Viv, can you file these please?"

Nurse Vivian looks up from where she's sitting with a smile, "Of course Dr. T."

Daphne smiles back at her and turns around to see a very attractive man talking to Meredith. She begins to walk over, making sure Meredith's okay and not uncomfortable as she's never seen the man before, also, she can tell when  Meredith is smiling just to get out of the situation, "Hey Mer, you good?"
