Everything Has Changed ❤️ {Jackson Avery}

Nineteen

I walk into the lounge as my pager was going off.

Jackson: sounds big. I'm betting MVC.

Alex: multiple MVC or an apartment fire.

Savannah: I'm with Alex. Hey.

Alex: hey. Did you get my text this morning?

Savannah: yeah, I did.

I start changing.

April: when is the staring gonna stop?

Jackson: as soon as the novelty wears off.

I look up at the doctors who were staring at us, so I give them a cold death glare and a couple of them look away from me.

Once I was changed, I sit down next to Cristina and Meredith.

Cristina: Owen washed my hair. And he told me to eat this grainy nut bar. And he booked me into surgery this morning. He is in charge of me. I'm a bride, and I'm going with it.

Meredith: but trauma guy didn't clear you.

Cristina: yeah, but he said he'll figure that out.

Lexie: yes. Okay. I am the crazy one.

I look up at Lexie who was yelling at some doctors that were staring at us.

Lexie: I am the one who freaks out and screams at people... like that.

I stand up and place a comforting hand on Lexie's back.

Meredith: go gawk at each other for a while.

I decided to give Lexie to Meredith and I walk out of the lounge. I find Teddy and Owen talking to Chief Webber.

Savannah: Teddy, I'm with you today.

Teddy: good. Follow me, please. I hope you've brought your A-game, because we are doing an ex vivo heart reconstruction today.

Savannah: oh, I've got it, Teddy. You can count on me.

I follow Teddy to her patient's room, and we met up with Cristina and Jackson.

Jackson: Linda Cotler, age 51, has been here three times in the last eight years for removal of malignant myxomas from her heart.

Linda: but we won't be doing that again.

Teddy: no, by removing both atria, and hopefully all the cancerous cells, you won't have to keep coming back here.

Linda looks over at Cristina.

Linda: hello, Dr. Yang. Nice to see a familiar face.

Mr. Cotler: finally, someone we know.

Teddy: Mrs. Cotler was a patient of Dr. Burke's. You assisted on her last myxoma removal.

Cristina: of course. Of course. Hi.

Linda: you were getting married, weren't you?

Cristina: sorry?

Teddy: well, got married. I mean, last night actually.

Mr. Cotler: you and Dr. Burke?

I try my best not to laugh.

Teddy: sorry?

Linda: last time we were here, he said you two were getting married.

Oh boy.

Cristina: oh, yes. No. That– that didn't happen.

Linda: oh. What a shame. He went on and on about you.
