WHEN DELILAH MADE IT TO NICU, she was met with the sight of two arguing Dr Shepherds. She looked around hoping to find Izzie, but the blonde was nowhere in sight. Her lips drew into a thin line as she debated announcing her presence.
Seriously, Izzie? Out of all the times to go MIA, you do it now?
With a defeated sigh, she cleared her throat lightly. "Dr Shepherds? You asked for an intern?" Delilah asked.
The married couple turned around at the sound of her voice. They were confused, didn't they just send an intern away? Why had another comeback?
Derek furrowed his eyebrows at his prodigy. "Delilah? What are you doing here? I thought I told Stevens this case was a no-go."
The brunette shrugged. "Dr Bailey sent me here. I haven't seen Izzie yet, so there's that," she said.
When they didn't respond, Delilah flashed them an awkward smile. "Anyway, did either one of you need an intern? I'm, uh, completely free and eager to learn," she grinned enthusiastically.
"I would take you, but I already have two interns. Sorry, Lilah," Derek apologised before making his way out of the room.
Delilah turned to Addison with a sweet smile. "I guess it's just the two of us, Dr Montgomery-Shepherd. Anything you have scheduled for today?" she asked.
The redhead waved her off. "I'm not going to stay for very much longer, Dr Love. I came here for Richard's TTTS case. It's best if you find yourself another assignment," she sighed.
Sensing that she didn't want to talk anymore, Delilah nodded and wordlessly left the room.

With nowhere to go, Delilah found herself wandering into the viewing deck of OR 2. She settled into an empty seat at the back of the room, pulling out an article on Neurocysticercosis.
She set an open container of cupcakes she made last night on the seat beside her, offering the baked treats to the doctors around her. Delilah beamed as they accepted her cupcakes with a thankful smile. Anything to make these grumpy doctors happy.
Delilah hummed under her breath as she read her article, highlighting important information or questions she had as she went. Her attention was soon taken by Dr Burke calling Christina's name during the surgery.
She frowned as she watched the normally focused woman struggle to think straight. Oh my God. Please be okay, Christina.
Delilah ultimately decided to put the article away in favor of keeping an eye out for Christina.
Not long after, Izzie sauntered into the room and huffed as she took a seat beside Dr Bailey.
"You have a problem?" the Resident asked, sparing a glance at the distraught blonde.
