"I opened it here," shouted Evelyn from the doorway of Meredith's house

"Why are you shouting, is it dawn?" George said, opening the door

"Where's Derek" she said entering the house as she ran over George "Meredith where's your irresponsible boyfriend?"

"At the hospital"

"Why are you holding on to that bottle of tequila like it's your life?"

"Your mom's coming to town"

"I know, that's why I want to talk to him, my mom's coming to town and he said she could stay at my apartment, but I can't spend a night with her or I'll die"

"What a lovely daughter," said Sadie, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Look Meredith, can my mom stay here?"

"No, she can't, I don't even want to see her," she said when Evelyn saw her pager go off.

"Holy shit, Stevens, I need you at the hospital now," said Evelyn as she got up from the sofa.

"She can't, she's making the house more comfortable!"

"My mother always causes problems," said Evelyn, leaving because her patient's aneurysm had burst.

"Mom" said Evelyn when she was walking down the corridor and saw her mother and brother

"My dear child," said Mama Shepherd as she hugged Evelyn, "have you put on weight?"

"Mom please, I'm just nervous these days"

"Why? You're not pregnant again, are you?"

"No mom"

"We even need to talk about Charlotte"

"We do, but now I have surgery, bye mom" the brunette ran off as if her mother was a bomb that could explode at any moment

After the surgery and once again having managed to save her patient, Evelyn stopped in the rest room trying to organize her mind after a mess called Arizona Robbins entered and smiled that stupid smile with those stupid dimples and was snapped out of her thoughts when Callie entered the room.

"Is everything all right, Evelyn?" Callie asked when she saw her friend lying on the bed "how did you find out you were bi?" Evelyn asked bluntly, of course it took Callie a while to think it through, it was a complicated question

"Why do you want to know?" Callie asked, lying down next to Evelyn "because the new pediatrician here made me feel something I've never felt before" she replied, turning around and coming face to face with Callie.

"Well, when Erica arrived, and I felt a chill, it was like I saw the light, it sounds silly but that's what I felt," Callie replied looking into Evelyn's eyes. "I think Arizona is my light" she replied

"At least you'll know how to work down there if you understand what I'm saying," Callie said with a smile, making her friend laugh.

"I've spent 16 years of my life having sex with men, I think I'm going crazy" said Evelyn turning on her stomach "You're not going crazy, you're discovering yourself" Callie replied. "And if you need help trying out the vagina club, I'm available" she said and made Evelyn let out another laugh
