falling for you [m.s.]

fourty three

gwen was in the hospital all night. mark came early to the hospital to search gwen. he found her asleep in an on call room. he silently closed the door behind him. then he laid next to gwen trying to not wake her up. but he failed. gwen suddenly rose up.

"am i late? what time is it?" she asks panicked.

"babe, calm down it's 8 in the morning." mark informs her.

"oh my god i overslept. damn it." gwen says getting up from the bed.

"gwen, calm down. what's going on?" mark asks her concerned.

"what's going on? i can tell you what's going on?" gwen says not so happy. "my mother is coming today."

mark looked at her with wide eyes. "your mother is coming? to seattle?"

"so? she isn't your mother. she loves you but she dislikes me." gwen tells him putting on her things.

"that woman practically raised me, taught me right from wrong. if she found out that i was... with you, that we were... you're derek's little sister, her daughter, you're forbidden fruit."

gwen chuckles sitting down in front of him. "i know, and we can't tell her. at least not now."

"why not?" mark asks her.

"because she dislikes me, okay? and because i don't want to give her another reason to not be proud of me." gwen smiles at him. "i have to go now, check on my patient and then searching my mom. god, this will be horrible." then she stood up.

"gwen." mark tries to call her back but she already was gone.

gwen, richard, sadie (meredith's old friend) and alex were standing in front of jackson's room.

"any word from unos?" melinda asks the doctors.

"not yet." richard replies. "dr.karev is in constant contact with them."

"how much longer will we have to wait? are livers and intestines hard to find?" melinda asks.

"jackson's blood type is 0 positive, shouldn't be difficult to match." sadie says from behind gwen.

gwen looked at the intern with a stern look before turning to melinda. "but he's had blood tranfusions, wich means there could be extra antibodies that are hard to match, so we need to be patient, melinda. in the meantime, i need to run some tests on jackson to check electrolytes."

"we're gonna do everything we can to help your son, mrs.prescott." richard assures her. "all of us."

then everyone walked off but gwen called sadie to her.

"you. you're squirrelly." gwen calls her.

"i'm sorry."

"i don't trust you. i don't trust you in this hospital. and i certainly don't trust you with my patient of three years who is extremely important." gwen scolds the intern.

"i didn't-"

"uh-uh." gwen cuts her off. "if you want to stay on this case, you will stay out of my way, you will do what i tell you, and if you have something to say to or about my patient, you will raise your hand and wait to be called on." gwen sternly instruct her.

"you've got to be kidding me." sadie scoffs.

gwen looked her dead in the eyes until sadie raised her hand. "yes?"

"this is a joke, right?" sadie asks her.

"do i look like i'm laughing?" then gwen walked away.
