"Who doesn't know Madonna?" Cristina demands as she paces back and forth, Meredith is knitting and Izzy is knitting and I'm embroidering my daughter's new high tops converses. The girls at her school have been making fun of her clothes, not being cool or edgy enough and I've recently began having Clara learn to embroider so while she's learning that I'm changing her clothes.

"What are you doing?" Izzy asks

"Embroidering my daughter's shoes" Pulling the needle with the gold thread "Clara has been having a rough time and I've recently hired someone to teach her to sew, so while she learns that I promised to give her something new and cool that the other girls will envy. No way am I buying something that I can do on my own"

"Sore loser "Meredith says. 

"I am not a sore loser" Cristina argues as we focus on what we're doing while she bitches "you know, so what if I am? Seed the whole point of games is that there is a winner, a first place"

"Not all games" I say "some games is just for fun"

"No, a first place" Cristina argues "do either of you want a second best surgeon operating on you? No. You want the very best and the second best is mediocre" she begins to pace again "and to settle for mediocrity is a sign of self loathing and substandard work ethics" sitting down sighing "I gotta get George out of my apartment"

"You know" Meredith suggests "you could sleep with him and then right in the middle start crying, it's painful and humiliating and unbelievably cruel but apparently it works"

"Would you" Izzy demands "keep knitting"

Izzy is mad with Meredith since Meredith and George fucked but the fuck was bad, like really bad. George only fucked Meredith since she was down but also because he admitted he loves me and kissed me and I basically told him no. That I don't love him the way he wants and that basically destroyed his heart. I could feel his pain from the night after and it was a lot and it hurt me to see someone I care for in pain.

"Kick him out" Izzy orders Cristina "Kick him out so he can come back home to us"

"That's if he goes back home to you" I say

"I can't kick him out" Cristina complained "he's Burke's puppy, it's gotta be Burke's idea"

"I'd offer George a place in my new home but it's full" telling them about the animals with me "I got four kids, Apollo, his sister Artemis is living with us now, we have two cats, four dogs, three guinea pigs, a couple of chickens, a hedgehog and Maria"

My friends look my way and I just sew "Oh my god" Cristina says "your serious"

"Artemis loves animals and I love the animals she brought" shaking my head "it's just...pets are a big responsibility and the last time my kids were responsible for an animal it was the class pet hamster Nibbles and we had to replace Nibbles since Nibbles decided to have a heart attack"

"Your kids are older" Izzy argues "so they'll probably be more responsible and it isn't your pets per say but this Artemis's so she's responsible for them and I think your a good mom Rory. Not buying your kid new clothes but making it yourself? My mom use to do that"

Going into the supply closet looking around, I'm not being paged and no one is paying attention to me. Now is the best time to take a look at what I am dreading. When I find the pregnancy tests, I go to the bathroom and this is my first time doing this. The first time, Apollo told me I was pregnant then with Edward it was Maester Walys and with the twins I found out after Maester Pycelle confirmed it...so first pregnancy pee stick.
