"Are you two going to help me out or just sit there and eat potato chips." I ask Cristina and Meredith.

"This is the first chair I've seen since 7am and the first food I've had since yesterday. I choose potato chips." Cristina says making me turn to Meredith.

"Don't look at me. I've been in surgery all day too." Meredith says. The ER phone starts ringing and Cristina and Meredith continue eating making me roll my eyes before I answer the phone.

"You know you brought this on yourself. You volunteered to run the ER." Cristina says to me as Meredith nods her head in agreement.

"Got it." I say into the phone before hanging up. "We've got a suspected appy on a 10 year old, let's page Robbin's." I tell a nurse before turning back to Mer and Cristina.

"You know I saw a need and I filled it like any good chief resident candidate." I say.

"Sadomasochistic chief resident, maybe." Cristina says making Meredith laugh.

"What is up with you? You're all perky and cheerful." I say to Mer.

"You know, it's the fertility drugs. We've stepped it up, I'm pumped full of hormones. You know what's perky?" Meredith asks.

"What?"

'My boobs they're huge. Am I supposed to like big boobs?" She asks.

"Nope." I reply.

"They'll make you fall over." Cristina says.

"So Callie mentioned a thing or it may not be a thing. At least I hope it doesn't become a thing." Cristina says, before Lexie walks up and changes the conversation.

"Hey, I got a patient with a headache. Better after sumatriptin. He's ready to be discharged you just need to sign off." Lexie says.

"Is he neurologically intact? You did a CT?" I ask.

"I did, it was negative. The most interesting thing about this guy is that he came into the ER with a glorified migraine, with a girlfriend from hell." Lexie says.

"Which one is she? Just point with your eyes." Cristina says. Lexie looks at this red headed women complaining on her phone.

"Mmm hmm." Cristina says instantly knowing who Lexie is talking about.

"Here." I say to Lexie handing her the chart after signing off on it.

"Thank you." Lexie says before walking away..

"So Callie had a thing, what kind of thing?" Meredith asks.

"Garcia, you paged?" Arizona interrupts.

"Yeah, we have a suspected appy on a ten year old two minutes out." I say.

"An unexpected thing." Cristina continues.

"Garcia call up, tell them to get an OR ready." Owen interrupts. I felt like someone was calling my name every five minutes and I was trying my best not to get overwhelmed.

"I already did. OR 5 is prepped and ready for you." I say walking off to tend to a patient.

"EKG results." The nurse says handing me the results as soon I enter the room.

"Thank you." I smile.

"The guys at work overreacted and insisted I come to the ER. Sweetie I had a big lunch it hardly qualifies as chest pains. No, what I need are some antacids. I'll be there I promise, just tell Max to put on his jersey I'll be out of here soon." The patient says before hanging up his phone.
