"We assume the really serious changes in our life happen slowly, over time. But it's not true. The big stuff happens in an instant. Becoming an adult. Becoming a parent. Becoming a doctor. One minute, you're not, and the next... you are. Ask any doctor, and they can point to the one moment they become a physician. It usually isn't med school graduation day. Whatever it is... nobody forgets it. Sometimes you don't even know anything's changed. You think you're still you and your life is still your life...but you wake up one day and you look around and you don't recognise anything. Not anything at all. You never forget the moment that you become a doctor. A switch flips. Suddenly, you're not playing dress-up anymore. You own the white coat. What you may not notice is the moment that being a doctor... changes you"
"if you hear me, baby, blink! do even have the capability left to think?"
Mark watched Kelly as she woke up. She laughed breathily as she looked at him. "I need something from you", he said. She kissed him. "That, too", he chuckled. "I need you to give Sloan an ultrasound today. It's been almost three weeks".
"Can't someone from OB do it?" She kissed him and climbed on top of him.
"Yeah, but... She likes you. All Sloans do"
She laughed and they started kissing again. Sloan opened the door. "Hey, do we have any more...? Oh, ew!" she exclaimed, and left the room. Mark shoved Kelly off of him. They both got out of bed and went into the kitchen. "Sorry, Sloan", Mark apologised. "Whatever, there's no more cereal", she replied. "Why are you sorry? She's the one who didn't knock before she came in", Kelly stated. "I'll get some cereal this afternoon", Mark said, ignoring Kelly. "How about some juice? You know, Kelly's gonna give you an ultrasound today". He gave her too much money for breakfast and lunch. "I'm gonna go shower", Kelly said. "Hold on a second, I'm probably gonna have to hurl this", Sloan said. Kelly sighed.
Kelly entered Beck, Cristina and Callie's apartment where Beck was eating cereal. "Hey", Beck said, not looking up from the magazine she was reading. "Sloan Sloan monopolizing your bathroom again?" "Yeah. Yours?" Kelly asked.
"Met a guy last night, he's in there. Sorry"
"Cristina's?"
"She's in there"
Kelly sighed and went to Callie's bathroom. She gasped as she saw Callie and Arizona kissing in the shower. She abruptly left. "They're in there", Kelly said to Beck. "You should probably knock first", Beck suggested. A man came out of her room. "Bye", he said and left. "See ya", Beck said, not looking up from her magazine. "I'm late. My hair is dirty", Kelly complained. "And he just gave her 80 bucks for a muffin and a sandwich".
"That's quite a sandwich"
"She's just gonna end up spending it on a pair of jeans that show off her butt crack, and then ask me for half my pasta salad"
"You sound like a mom"
"Shut up"
"No"
Callie and Arizona came into the kitchen. "Knock much?" Callie asked. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry", Kelly said, making her way to the bathroom.
"Oh, there's no more hot water"
Kelly whimpered and went into the bathroom. Beck scoffed.
Kelly was giving Sloan an ultrasound. "Hey, do you have any cash? I lost the headset to my phone", Sloan asked.
"How about you just hold the phone to your ear?"
"You were the one who was bitching at me last night for being on the phone so late. Maybe if I had a headset, I wouldn't have to talk so loud"
