I've Loved and I've Lost

Chapter 58

Danica POV

"I have great faith in you," I look up from my shoelaces to see Chief Webber standing in the middle of the locker room, cup of coffee in hand. "I can because I chose you, I trained you. I've watched you work, I know what you can do. That's why today's different. The training wheels are coming off, people. I'm throwing down the gauntlet today, people,"

"Navy scrubs?" Meredith asks, excitement in her voice. I sit up straighter, becoming excited myself.

"Attending scrubs. You are attendings today," 

A nurse hands me my scrubs and I almost let out a squeal of excitement as I hold them in my hands. It's like holding your dreams in the palm of your hands. "Run the cases, take point. Don't be a fool. If you get in over your head, cry uncle. Until then, congratulations. You've just been promoted," I quickly change out of my light blue scrubs and into my navy blue ones. I smile at my reflection as I pull on my white coat. A sigh of happiness exits my lips as I smile widely. I hope George can see me. 

"Navy is totally my color," I mutter to myself. 

"It really is," Cristina chuckles. I turn and smile with a nod of my head before leaving the locker room, a bit of pep in my step and confidence in my stride. I walk up to the counter, Alex, April and Alex already there. 

"Peep the new uniform," I chuckle as I open my white jacket a little more. Alex does the same, a huge smile on his face as well. 

"Here you go," 

"Thank you," I smile widely at the nurse as I take my case file happily. Alex takes the chart out of my hand and starts walking. "Asshole, give me back my chart," I try to grab it but he moves his hand out of the way. "Alex, I'm serious," I lean over and try to grab it, my whole body pressed up against his, his face inches away from mine. "I will bite you,"

"You don't have rabies do you?" He teases, looking me up and down. Suddenly the chart is grabbed from his hand by someone else. I punch Alex in the arm before running after Mark. 

"Mark," I grumble as I follow the attending. "Can I have back my chart please?" I ask as I walk beside him, Alex on his other side. 

"What factors would lead a patient to want breast reduction surgery?" Mark asks the both of us. 

"Uh, neck pain, back pain, balance issues," Alex lists off. 

"Keep trying. Dani your turn,"

"Sexual orientation, body dysmorphia, sometimes even parental or partner request," I list off a couple more. 

"Correct," I smile teasingly at Alex, sticking my tongue out at him. Mark hands me the chart and directs Alex and I into the room. 

"Hi, I'm Doctor Millers, this is my assistant--" Alex elbows me in the ribs. "Partner, Doctor Karev," 

"Mindy Gruberman, nice to meet you," I watch as Alex's eyes travel down to her breasts causing me to elbow him this time. 

"I can work with that," He says quietly to Mark.

"You perv," I mumble, pinching his arm really hard. 

"She's not the patient Karev,"

"Doctor Robbins, so you'll be on my service too huh?" Alex asks cockily. 

"Morning Doctor Robbins," I say politely. 

"Good Morning, Doctor Millers," She gives me a polite smile. 

"Doctor Millers and Doctor Karev are gonna be our team leaders today," Mark explains Miss Gruberman. 

"Excuse me. Honey," She knocks on the bathroom door. "Quit futzing around with the gown. Come out here. Doctors want to see you,"
