Spitfire (Greys Anatomy)

Surgery

She made broken look beautiful
And strong look invincible.
She walked with the universe
On her shoulders
& made it look like
A pair of wings

"Good morning Mr and Mrs Stone, are you ready for today?" Dr. Beauregard asked, smiling at the couple. It was early morning, but Dr. Beauregard was ready and excited. Dr. Yang and Dr. Karen stood next to her, anxiously awaiting to assist on anything.
The couple nodded, a bit of nervousness displayed on their faces.
"Dr. Yang and Karev, prep Mrs Stone for surgery. I will be there shortly" Dr. Beauregard stated, and went to get ready for the surgery.

Derek's POV

Sitting in the gallery with essentially the whole hospital, everyone's eyes were on Dr. Beauregard. Dr. Webber even had a live video going of this surgery so people around the world could see and experience.
All of last night, I kept tossing and turning thinking about Sapphire, and what would've happened if we had gotten married. It would have been different, but would that have been bad? I would've been with the love of my life. But I wouldn't have Meredith now.

"Christina is so excited to be down there" Meredith commented, sitting beside me as we watched Yang and Karev set everything up for Sapphire.

Sapphire walked into the OR, and started operating. It was like a scene from a movie. She let Christina make the incision to open up the body, and then allowed Alex and Christina to monitor and keep the other organs in place while she operated.
Swiftly, Sapphire extracted the pregnant baby, and made incisions to obtain the smaller fetus within. It was so graceful, it was like watching an artist paint or sculpt.

Nothing went wrong.

Dr. Beauregard thoroughly explained each step, as she completed the surgery. It was incredible. It was like this was just any old textbook procedure.

It was a couple hours long, as she had to delicately suture and keep the babies alive and monitored.

"Wow" Mark commented. Everyone's jaw was dropped, staring at Dr. Beauregard's work.
"Dr. Karev, since Dr, Yang opened, would you like to close?" She offered, politely. Alex nodded his head enthusiastically, as he closed up the patient. The grin on his face was indescribable.

When everything was done, there was a large round of applause from the OR staff, gallery and those who were listening in. Dr. Beauregard just smiled, and then went to scrub out. She didn't gloat or try to show off, like I admittedly have done before.

"That was beautiful" Meredith said, as we all walked out of the gallery. I nodded.
"No surgery is that perfect. Ever" Callie said in awe.
"That's why she's the best" I said, as we all went back to our patients.

My heart was pounding in my chest.
I still love her...

Sapphire's POV

The surgery was done, and as Yang and Karev did postop procedures, I visited the husband to inform him of the good news.
"Hi Mr. Stone, the surgery went as planned. Both babies and your wife are healthy and good. Nothing went wrong" I said, and was shocked when he hugged me tightly, tears streaming down his face in joy. I just smiled awkwardly, patting him on the back.
"Oh thank you. You truly are the best" Mr . Stone said, wiping away some tears. The smile on his face was infectious.
"Well your wife is just finishing post op, and  will be in the room soon. She'll be in recovery for a few days, but all will be well" I said, and he smiled, all but running back to the room.
