falling for you [m.s.]

one hundred five

gwen was in the hospital extremely early today because of two reasons.

1. she had to do rounds on arizona's friend, nick.
and 2. she didn't want to look or talk to mark.

"so, this patch here is your tumor." cristina explains to nick pointing at it on the scans. "it's invading the wall of your right ventricle. what we'll do is, we'll resect the tumor, then repair the ventricle, and replace the tricuspid valve."

"dr.yang is the best we have. you couldn't be in better hands." gwen assures the patient.

"come on. where is she?" nick asks gwen out of nowhere.

"arizona? she's... um... patients. so many patients." gwen stutterts.

"so, basically, you all want to chop up my heart into a jigsaw puzzle." nick realizes. "it may give me a few more months, most of which, i'll be spending in a hospital bed, while my best friend in the world does everthing possible to avoid me? or, i spend the rest of my short life lying on a sandy beach in belize."

"nick, you need this surgery." gwen reminds him knowing what he implies.

"tell scottsdale i said goodbye. looks like i won't get the chance." nick says.

gwen stood at the nurses station when mark approached her.

"hey! there you are. i missed you this morning." mark greets her.

"i had to go to the hospital early." gwen states not looking up from her chart. "something you want?"

"yeah, since we both head to boise i wanted to ask who watches hailey?" mark asks.

"callie takes her." gwen simply replies.

"please, gwen. look at me when we talk." mark begs but gwen ignored it. "i'm sorry okay? for smashing your idea of a second baby down."

"okay." gwen nods.

mark sighs as he walked away.

derek stood in an elevator alone when the door opened and mark entered.

"how's gwen? you impregnate her yet?" derek asks.

"no, gwen and i had a big fight yesterday." mark sighs.

"what was it about?" derek asks.

"she is pissed that i smashed her idea of a second baby down. she called me egoistic." mark informs him. "i had to sleep on the couch."

"oh." derek simply says. "did you apologized?"

"yeah, but she's still mad." mark says.

"what did you say?" derek asks.

"i'm sorry." mark repeats what he told gwen.

"i'm sorry? that's all?" derek raises his brows.

"what was i supposed to do?"

"oh, i don't know. kiss her." derek suggested.

"you know if i had did that i would earn a big slap to my face." mark says making him chuckle.

"true."

gwen searched for arizona trying to get her to convince nick to the surgery. she found the blond in the nursery checking on a baby.
