Eternity

Twelve

|Months Later|

"First day back and I'm basically in the principal's office" John called me to see when I'll be home today, I told him late since someone fucked up and that a patient died because of it. Now Webber, Jennings and Missy I think her name is? She's from HR and they are going to figure out what happened.

See because of the contract John negotiated, I was given about four months with my new baby as maternity leave. That is more than many people get and I took advantage of every moment. Many things have changed since I left. First: George is dead, hit by a bus. Two: Seattle Grace merged with Mercy West so a bunch of people were fired and those from Mercy West who weren't fired came to work here. Three: Izzy survived cancer but only because Alex got the Chief to rip up the DNR and save her life. I think that was stupid, let her stay dead. Four: Meredith got married on a post it note. Finally: Meredith gave half  her liver to her bio dad.

"Don't plan on sleeping tonight" John says

"Oh" smirking "why's that?"

"Because your mom is in town visiting so she took the kids" he tells me "so don't bother holding back, I plan on you screaming my and all night long"

"Can't wait, I love you" I say

"I love you too" we hang up and Cristina looks at me.

"What?" Putting my phone away.

She shakes her head "I'm genuinely curious, how many times do you and your husband have sex? What's he like?"

"He's a monster in bed" smiling as I think about John "and every day"

Alex looks at me "You and your husband have sex every day? Like don't you both ever get bored or"

Shaking my head "Not really, sometimes we surprise each other by spicing things up but for the most part no"

"What about" Cristina asks "with your kids?"

"Quiet" I tell them before smiling brightly "also John had a special sex room made for us" looking at the four Mercy Westers who stare at me "What? I love sex and I love my husband"

"What about fights?" Lexie asks "don't you guys fight? Ever?" We do have our fights, I do admit that but we get through them.

"Yeah" nodding my head "like me keeping twenty pounds of cocaine for my friend is bad, not like the kids find it. I keep it hidden from them"

"You have twenty pounds of cocaine?" That Reese asks

"This was years ago" waving my hand "don't think too much about it when it was me, John and Talon" looking at the time "someone's getting fired"

"Yeah" Reese agrees with me

"Stop it" April hisses, I like April. She's nice.

"She wasn't even my patient" that nosedive guy complains

"What was that nosedive?" I ask

He looks at me offended "What did you just call me?"

"Nosedive" repeating his name "everyone knows about the fall you took earlier"

"How much longer will this take?" Alex complains, they are doing this to break someone. Make sure someone has the blame.

"They aren't risking what happened last time" giving Alex a look.
