[thirteen: we're daphne and mark]

3x15

Daphne stands with the rest of her group as Bailey tests Izzie for the exam. Callie rushes forward as the 'patient' jumps up, "Time!"

Apparently Izzie had sent the patient home and she died due to her bone puncturing her skin. Izzie stomps off next to the rest of the class as Bailey calls Daphne forward, "Little Torres you're next."

Daphne chuckles as Callie goes starts speaking but George takes a picture of her mid-sentence, "Oh George, you are so special."

George glares at his sister-in-law, "Shut up. I-I was just recording the drill." Callie shuffles away, embarrassed, as Daphne pats her shoulder, "Elegiste uno bueno."
(You picked a good one)

Callie pulls George away and reprimands him which leads to George putting away the camera. The chief comes forward and lets everyone know there's a trauma, which they have to get ready for.

Daphne stands with the rest of her friends as they pack the bags when Cristina comes rushing forward, telling both Meredith and Daphne she has news.

"You're not pregnant are you? Because I can't deal with anymore bitchyness Cris."

Cristina shakes her head as Bailey walks forward, "We're catching a ride with Seattle 34, it's tight so hold your kits on your lap."

"Where're we going?"

"I'll know when we get there!"

Izzie walks forward, trying to get next to Bailey, "Fire, flood, volcano? I'm not dressed for a volcano." Daphne slaps the back of her blonde head, "There's no volcanos in Seattle dumbass."

The lady stops them as they approach the truck, telling them there's only room for five. Bailey looks at them all before pointing at Cris and Daphne, "Yang and Torres stay with the Chief, take care of the incoming trauma. Everybody else, get on."

Meredith turns to her, asking her what her news was, but Cristina shoves her off, annoyed she can't go to the trauma.

Daphne turns to the girl, "Can I know?" Cristina turns to her, "Yeah-yeah, um I'm getting married."

Daphne drops her bag and hugs the women, "Cristina! Congratulations! When?"

Cristina shakes her head with a small smile, "We haven't decided yet but in the next year I think."

Daphne stands with Callie as they both finish some charts, "So how are you and Sloan?"

Daphne looks up and shrugs, "I don't know. We had sex in the elevator." Callie looks up at the girl surprised, "What? When?"

"This morning and I can't stop thinking about it. What does it mean? Are we back together? Does he still like me? Or am I just a fuck buddy now?"

Callie shakes her head, "Don't worry too much Daphne, I've seen the way that man looks at you, if it meant anything besides sexual passion, it would mean that he still loves you."

Daphne nods and puts the chart back on
it's shelf, "Okay, I'll um I'll go talk to him."

Daphne walks forward and stands next to Mark, who leans on the nurses station on floor three. Mark turns to her with a smirk, "Well hello doll. How are you this chaotic morning?"

Daphne shakes her head and pulls him into an empty closet, "Well if you wanted to have sex you could've just told me."

Daphne shakes her head, "No, that's not what I brought you into here for. I need to know what we are Mark."

"Because, because I love you." Mark looks at her surprised, "Yes, I love you. I think I have since the
first moment you flirted with me. And-and I think I've known this for a while, but I've been too scared to tell you."

"But now, now that we're not together anymore it feels like my heart has been ripped from my chest. I miss you so much. So I just need to know what we are."

Mark stares at her surprised and then puts his hands onto her cheeks, "We're Mark and Daphne. We're together."

As the couple stand there, together again, smiling, a blonde intern lays in the water of an a ocean. Staring up at the blue sky that looks to be changing due to the waves of the water.

And as she lays there, she thinks of the people she has loved through her life. Her mother, the women who left her, Derek, the man that wants too much too quickly, and her friends, the people who have held her hand through a bombing and now through a drowning.

Hey y'all hope y'all liked this chapter. So I was gonna give Daph another love interest, but I one didn't want to leave them broken up for too long for a reason that will be discovered. And also because I have some big plans for the next couple chapters/seasons and a new love interest doesn't fit in yet.

But possibly she will later one.

Anyway, hope y'all have a great day!! Go comment, share, follow, vote, and read on...
