   "HEY GUYS," Jackson greeted when he caught up to Sage, who was walking with Meredith and Cristina. Meredith was in the middle of telling her two best friends that another one of her pregnancy tests had sadly come back negative. Sage was a little annoyed that Jackson had interrupted their conversation, but she decided not to show it.

"Hi?" Sage greeted. "You ok?"

"Yeah, can I talk to Sage for a second?" He looked to Meredith and Cristina, as if he were asking them for permission. Cristina rolled his eyes but Meredith nodded, smiling at Sage. Jackson thanked them before grabbing his girlfriend by the arm and pulling her into another hall.

"What's wrong?" Sage questioned as he led her down the hallway.

"Nothing's wrong," he assured her, and she raised an eyebrow. "Just, y'know how I'm not on call tonight, and you're not on call tonight..." When she didn't respond, he continued, "So I made a reservation at this nice restaurant so we could go on a real date, you know?"

"Really?" The couple had never gone on an official date. It wasn't that they didn't want to, it was just that they were always too tired to or just didn't have the time.

"Yeah," he confirmed, nodding. "I think you'll really like the restaurant. They have a killer lobster."

"Sounds nice." She pursed her lips and nodded. "Can I go home and get ready first?"

"Yeah, of course," he said, smiling.

She opened her mouth to reply when both of their pagers beeped. She sighed, rolling her eyes and grabbing her pager, glancing down at it.

"Come on," she said, putting her pager back in the pocket of her lab coat. The two began walking down the hall again, where they found April, who'd been paged as well.

"What is this, everybody got paged?" Jackson asked when the trio caught up to Alex, Meredith and Cristina. He frowned when Sage moved to walk next to Alex, who immediately put an arm around her shoulders.

"It's that time of year again," Alex grinned, squeezing Sage's shoulders. "The chicks have hatched."

"Is that some sort of code?" April asked, furrowing her brows.

"Those chicks." The group of residents stopped in front of the nurse's station as Dr. Webber and Lexie led a group of what Sage knew to be first year med students into the room.

"Oh, first year med students," Cristina sighed, crossing her arms. "Too dumb to find the toilet." Sage laughed quietly, shaking her head.

"Good morning," Dr. Webber said to the group of residents standing in front of him, "Behind me stand the interns and residents of tomorrow. Today you will show them what it's like to be a surgeon. When you go into surgery, they go into surgery. When they have a question, you will have an answer."
