"For most people, a hospital is a scary place. A hostile place. A place where bad things happen. Most people would prefer church, or school, or home. But I grew up here. While my mom was on rounds, I learned to read in the O.R. gallery. I played in the morgue. I colored with crayons on old E.R. charts. The hospital was my church, my school, my home. The hospital was my safe place. My sanctuary. I love it here. Correction: loved it here"
"i know you'd have gone insane if you saw what i saw"
"they tell you that you're lucky but you're so confused"
Charles and Kate were walking down the halls of the hospital. He started kissing her. She laughed. "Charles, we're working", she smiled. "Fine"
He pecked her on the cheek and she smiled. They walked past Gary Clark, not thinking anything of it.
Meredith, Cristina and Lucy were in the tunnels. "No way", Cristina and Lucy said in unison. "Yeah", Meredith replied.
"No freaking way!"
"Right?"
"Were you trying to...", Lucy asked.
"No! Total accident. I used the thing"
"So are we happy about this?"
"Or are we exercising our legal right to choose?" Cristina added. Meredith smiled.
"Ok! All right!"
"Congratulations! Let's hug it out", Lucy said. "I'm gonna be an aunt!" They hugged. "Have you told him?" Cristina asked. "No, I just found out", Meredith said. "You gonna tell him now?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah"
"I'm gonna be an aunt! This is very adult. I'm proud of you, Meredith Grey"
"I'm proud of me, too"
Lucy and Alex were in the ER. "Alex, can we talk about the divorce papers?" she asked.
"Oh, so now you wanna talk?"
"Alex..."
"No, how about we talk about it later? Does that sound familiar?"
She scoffed and he walked away. Gary Clark approached her. "Do you know where the chief's office is?" he asked.
"Sorry, I'm kinda busy right now. Can you ask a nurse or something?"
She walked off.
Bailey, Charles and Kate were with their patient Mary and her husband Bill. "Shut up", Mary said. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry", Bailey said.
"Honey, are you hearing this?"
"I told you", Bill replied. "You know, I told her, Dr B".
"That doesn't mean I like it. I really can't have my second surgery today?"
"Dr Smith", Bailey said. "Your hemoglobin and hematocrit are extremely low", Kate explained. "Your tank is empty. You need a blood transfusion before we can operate". "Shut up", Mary said.
"Sorry"
"Do you know how long I've been living with a colostomy bag? A bag of my poop is attached to me. Do you know what that's like? It's gross. It's truly the grossest thing I've ever had to deal with. And I'm starving, because I can't eat solid food for 24 hours before surgery. Starving. I would eat all of you if I could"
"Yeah, on the plus side, that means no poop in the bag", Bill said.
"Bill!"
"Ok, we're gonna get some blood in you and Dr Percy and Dr Smith are gonna monitor your blood levels", Bailey said. "And tomorrow, we'll see if we can help you lose the poop bag. Let's see if we can get you some food so you don't eat my doctors. I don't like them but they're useful".
