OH MY GOD, are you PREGNANT?

Holiday preparations

When I was younger I used to think, why spend all that money, put yourself through all that work and stress, for one morning, that goes by extremely fast... well nothing's changed, I still think that, but now it annoys me more, because I have to be the one spending that money, and putting myself through all that stress, stress that is added onto the fact that i'm 16 weeks pregnant and a surgical intern, great, and yes i'm keeping track now. But it's all about spending time with the family that you only spend time with once a year, for me it's the first time being apart of that tradition.

DECEMBER 15th- 10 days until Christmas

"I guess I'm on your service today Dr. Torres" I said as I approached her in the middle of the ER, she replied as she continued to do a consult on a older woman, "okay, todays been a pretty slow day so far, but i'm not gonna jinx it" I nodded as I looked around the ER, there were few patients. She finished and we moved on, getting the day started, me following her around from consult to consult, but once things started to slow down a little we went upstairs to check on one of her patients, we walked down the hall silently until she spoke up, "so.. congratulations, george told me about the pregnancy" she just said normally, I replied to her stopping, "no. you can't just say that here" she angled her eyebrows "I was jus-" I cut her off "yeah I know, but I don't need the whole hospital to know, at least not yet" Callie nodded and then spoke again "okay, but it doesn't really matter because your already starting to show", 'am I really' I thought looking down, 'oh well!'.

"Grey can you go get the scans for Mr. Carlos?" she asked and I took off. I waited there for about 5 minutes and then started walking back to find Dr. Torres until Derek came up to me "how are you, how's the baby, are you tired, do you need me to get you anything?" as we walked our shoulders would rub once in awhile, it was like our way of holding hands in the hospital, "I am fine, we are fine, my feet are starting to get sore but it's fine" I said and then shrugging my shoulders "are you sure your fine" Derek was really starting to annoy me now, I took a deep and quick breath out "yes, you can go we're fine", he finally listened "okay, I love you see you later" and he walked away, he was definitely gonna be an overprotective father which I found really cute.

I walked up to Callie with the scans and handed them to her as she turned around, she held them up to the light and we both looked at them, "Grey what do you see?" she questioned me, "I studied the scan longingly and then replied, "looks like a broken hip.., jeez how did he do that?" I asked not expecting an answer from Callie "well I think he might have slipped, at least thats what Mr. Carlos said".

~In a hallway 30 mins later~

I sat on a gurney in a quiet hallway, I just needed to get off my feet for a little or else they were gonna either fall of or explode, I got up when I heard someone and then saw Cristina so I laid back down, "hey" she said sitting at the end of the gurney with her back against the wall, "hey" I replied and then continued on"so.. who's service are you on today?", once I asked she rolled her eyes, "I'm on Neo-Natal with Dr. Montgomery", okay now I don't blame her, we sat there quiet for a couple minutes which was nice.

"Have you talked to Finn at all?" she just asked out of the blue, 'oh shit' I thought I completely forgot, "no.. I actually forgot that he didn't know, I should tell him right?" I asked, not really wanting an answer back "yes, of course, you need to tell him, Mer he's a good guy and he deserves to know" I nodded 'she's right he does deserve to know, he deserves a lot better, I wish things could have worked out differently... he had plans', "okay I'm gonna tell him tonight" and I got off the gurney, walking down the hall, "wait. Where are you going now?" she yelled after me, I turned and yelled back "Derek" continuing walking down the hallway.

I approached Derek who was in the radiology room looking over some scans, which from what I saw looked like a pretty bad brain bleed "hey" I turned to look at the scans as well, brushing shoulders with him "hey, what's up?" he said, never looking up from the scans until I spoke again, "so I'm going to go do something that I should have done weeks ago" he had finally turned his whole body and did the head thing. "Need to go..." I couldn't continue because he interrupted me "... talk to Finn, it's okay I understand, he deserves to know" I loved that he understood, without arguing, he even told me that I should go, that's why I love him.
