Code Blue • Jackson Avery

Chapter Seven

I finally had a day off, it had been a long dreaded week but I was finally free of the hospital. I spent my morning sleeping in. I waited for the others to leave before I hopped out of bed.

I took a long shower letting the hot water scold my skin. I was enjoying the alone time, the quiet time as I hadn't had much of that.

The whole I had been practically taking sides between my dad and Addison. I loved them both and I had to show I was on both of there sides but when it truly comes down to it they both are wrong.

My dad explained that he wanted to continue to see Meredith, but Addison insisted they try to get back together. Meredith agreed with her, I think because Addison may have influenced her choice but that's just my guess.

I was wandering around the house in a towel when my phone went off.

"Hello?" I answered as I wrangled myself into my clothes. My mom was on the other end. I had tried calling her earlier this week but she must have been busy.

"Bella baby, how's Seattle?" My mom asked. I could hear people whispering in the back trying to get her attention.

"It's good, I'm glad to hear your voice. I miss you a lot mom"

"I miss you too. I have to go Bella but I'll call you soon" my mom said hanging up the phone immediately. I sighed, I always wondered what would have happened if my parents stayed together.

Would my dad have became a surgeon? Would my mom be the successful fashion designer she is today?

So many questions with little to no answers.

My phone once rang and this time it was Seattle Grace Hospital calling.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Dr.Shepherd you're need at the hospital at once" Chief Webber said into the phone sternly.

"Yes sir I'll be right there" I said as I rummaged through the room throwing the essentials into a bag. I then crossed my slightly damp hair into a bun and rushed out the door.

As I pulled up into a parking I noticed the hospital wasn't hectic looking as I thought it would be. The ER landing seemed normal with a few ambulances here and there but no major overload.

I grabbed my bag and walked into the hospital. As I entered the locker room I was met with a surprise of all the interns.

"We wanted to congratulate you on a successful surgery. Your patient is going home today" Izzy exclaimed.

"Wow, ah, thank you" I said completely shocked. Everyone got back to work expect for Alex Karev.

"I was wondering if we could maybe go to Joe's and get a drink sometime" Alex asked as he leaned against the lockers.

"Yeah, but you do know who my dad is right. Plus Addison is here, you might be asking for your ass to be kicked"

"I'll take my chances, I think I can beat your dad in a fight any day" Karev said.

We walked out of the locker room and meet the rest Bailey and the rest of the group near the main nurses station.

I found the corner to see none other than Mark Sloan standing near Meredith talking.

"Oh no" I said.

"What?" Alex asked. "Hey that's Mark Sloan he's like the best plastic surgeon on the east coast"

"Yeah and he happens to be my god-father. Not to mention he's the one who cheated Addison cheated on my dad with" I explained.

Just as I was about to walk over and talk to him my dad comes out of nowhere throwing a punch at Mark.

"You really want to take on my dad now?" I asked Karev who looked slightly scared.

"Dad what the hell?"

"Derek" Addison yelled.

Suddenly the chief walked in pissed off.

"Derek, Addison come with me now!" He demanded. The two followed in suit while I helped Meredith tend to Mark.

"Uncle Mark why are here?" I asked as Meredith was cleaning the wound.

"Oh great so you're related to him too?" Meredith asked.

"He's my god-father but that's besides the point" I said Meredith before turning my attention back to Mark.

"I came to get Addy back... what do you think you're doing, uh, Meredith is it?" Mark asked as she held the sutures in her hand.

"You need stitches" Meredith informed Mark.

"No, you hold the mirror" Mark said grabbing the tweezers and sutures from Meredith. "I would let you do the stitches but seeing that your probably mad at me I don't want to ruining my face"

"Smart" I said walking out of the room and leaning on the nurses station desk to check for my next patient.

"Are you just related to all good looking people?" Izzy asked. I just ignored the question.

"McSexy" yang said as Meredith came out.

"McYummy" Izzy added.

"No, McSteamy" Meredith said.

"He's a man whore, he's anything but desirable" I said slamming the book closed.

"Someone's mad, who's bothering you now. Need me to beat them up" Alex asked as he placed his hands on my hips.

"It's McSteamy" I said using the nickname Cristina, Izzy and Meredith came up with.

Almost as if it was on cue Mark walked up to us.

"Get your grimy hands off my god-daughter" Mark said with his arms crossed. Karev took a gulp, and whispered "he's the problem isn't he"

I shook my head yes and watched as Karev backed away.

"Alex Karev, I want to go into plastics. I've seen all your work" Karev said trying to ass-kiss at the moment.

"Bella, does your dad know about this?" Mark asked.

"No and I'm not a baby so stop babying me. Does my dad know that you lived in his house, in his bed for the last month or so?"

A long pause filled the air.

"I thought so, mind your own business" I said before walking away.

Why me? Why me?
