Chapter Four
"The clothes a surgeon wears help to present an image. The lab coats and badges and scrubs all work together to indicate a person of authority, someone you can trust. When the clothes come off, that's a different story. We're sensitive, vulnerable, human and just as prone to questionable judgement as anybody else. It might be hard for a surgeon to admit, but there's no shame in simply being human. It can be a relief to stop hiding, to accept who you really are and let the world see you that way, too. A little self-awareness never hurt anybody. Because when you know who you are, it's easier to know what you're about, and ultimately, what you really need"
"well, she looked at me and i could see that before too long i'd fall in love with her"
Lucy and Alex were kissing in bed. Her pager started beeping. She picked it up and looked at it. "Shit", she whispered as Alex kissed her shoulder. "I have to go to the hospital".
"Can it wait twenty minutes?"
"Maybe"
She smiled as he kissed her again. They were once again interrupted, this time by Mia crying. He groaned. "I'll get her", he said, getting out of the bed.
Beck and Jackson were in the on-call room, putting on their clothes. "That was the last time. We can't do this anymore", she said, putting on her scrub top.
"No, no, we won't, because this is the last time, ever"
"Okay"
They stood at the same time, facing each other. They stared at each other for a few moments. "I'm gonna get some coffee", he stated.
"I'm gonna go, uh... do something else"
"Cool"
Meredith and Lucy were on the phone to Cristina. "Just stop having sex with him", Lucy said. "I am trying to fit in. I live here now", Cristina replied. "I have to just, you know, adapt. So I'm making friends".
"But you don't even like him"
"Who says I have to like him? He's my sex friend"
"Ew", Meredith commented. "Well, what about the ancient guy? What about him?"
"You want me to be sex friends with the ancient guy?"
"No. I want you to be regular friends with the ancient guy and stop having sex friends in general"
"I am regular friends with the ancient guy. He, frankly, is my bestie. He's my you two here in Minnesota"
"Well, how does the ancient Minnesota us feel about you being sex friends with Parker?" Lucy asked.
"You know, it's no big deal. Parker is fine. A little reptilian, a little chatty, but fine"
"This is a cry for help"
"It's a cry for an orgasm"
"And how's that working out?"
"Meh"
Beck was looking at Brian's scans with Catherine. "I still don't understand what it is I'm looking at", Beck said.
"Those are his testicles, Dr Jacobs"
"Jesus Christ"
Catherine chuckled.
"Sorry"
"Oh, it's alright, sweetheart. I admire the honesty"
"Oh, well, you're welcome, then"
"Were in my skills lab for the penile transplant a while back?"
"Yes"
"That must be where I recognise you from. You look very familiar"
"Yeah, that must be it"
"You're familiar with my son, Jackson?"
"Yeah. Yes. Sort of. We're acquainted"
"He didn't know I was coming. He made it very clear, he would like me to stay out of his personal business, so I am doing my best"
"Well, I think that's great"
"I've made no such promises to you"
"What's that, now?"
"Your boards are next year, correct?"
"Um, yes. Correct"
"You need to start prepping, young lady. There's a fellow in our gynaecology department that's an excellent tutor. And he's cute"
"That's not really even..."
"Now, I don't know you very well, dear. But you seem so uptight. You need to get L-A-I-D"
"Dr Avery"
"Look at me. Look at me. I am having the best sex I have had in years. And it's just opened me up like a flower, blossoming towards the sun"
"That's a powerful image"
"I bet that fellow knows his way around a woman"
Beck looked at her.
"Oh, relax. I'm kidding. See that? That's what I mean. Uptight. But I will give you his number, just in case"
Beck and Jackson were making out in the on-call room. "This is the last time", Jackson said.
"The last time was the last time"
"Yeah, but this is the last last time"
"I have to be in the OR all day tomorrow with your mom"
"You're in that surgery, too?"
"What do you mean "too"? Wait. You're gonna be there?"
"Yeah"
"No, no, no. We cannot be in that OR. She's gonna figure it out"
"You've never even had a conversation before"
"Well, we have now and she has become obsessed with my sex life. She's amazing sex, so I have to, too"
He let out a noise of shock and disgust.
"Sorry. Sorry. You don't want to hear that"
"Webber's still banging my mom"
"Webber is the best sex of your mom's life?"
He sighed, lying down next to her. "And we're done here"
Lucy and Callie were at Joe's. "White wine", Callie said to the bartender. "What kind?" he replied.
"The big kind?"
"You okay?" Lucy asked her.
"Yeah. You know how they say the biggest thing couples fight about is money?"
Lucy nodded.
"Turns out money fights ain't got nothing on an amputation fight"
"I can imagine"
"Yeah, but I can't get mad or yell, because then I'm the woman yelling at her one-legged wife. So, I've been sleeping at Mark's, but I don't think I can take another night in my dead best friend's bed. It just reminds me that he's gone, and I end up having the worst dreams. It's getting so bad, I even considered asking your brother if I could crash in his trailer in the woods"
"That's pretty bad"
"Yep. Sorry. That was a lot"
"I asked. Besides, look who you're talking to. Remember the tragedies I used to dump on you?"
"Anything of note now?"
"Uh... No. All good"
"Well, at least one of us is happy"
"Yeah"
"Want another"
"Yeah"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"
"She'll have another. Not to add insult to injury, but what are you wearing?"
"We're always working and when we're not working, we're taking care of a screaming baby. And when the baby's not screaming, we're sleeping. So, laundry is not at the top of my priority list, as you can see"
"I'm sorry"
"No, it's ridiculous, it's okay"
"It gets easier"
"I know. I just hope it gets easier, sooner"
They clinked their glasses together and drank.
Beck left Brian's room to find Jackson, Alex, Aurora and Meredith watching through the window. "Oh, great", she said sarcastically. "Here to make a dirty joke, Karev?" "This isn't funny. That poor guy", Alex replied.
"I know. Can you imagine becoming so swollen that a surgeon needs to use a scalpel to dig out all that excess tissue until the testicles and cords hit the open air? I mean, who even knows what happened to his penis in all that mess?"
"That's not okay"
He walked off and Meredith and Aurora laughed. "Your mom won't stop asking me why I look so tired", Beck said to Jackson. "Why do you look so tired?" Aurora teased.
"Shut up"
They watched Richard and Catherine laughing through the window. "They look so cute together", Meredith commented. "Shut up", Jackson said. "Think they look tired?" Aurora added.
"Go to hell"
Beck was at a computer when Bailey and Meredith walked past her. "I'll tell you what's sad. Meredith Grey flaming out 'cause she doesn't know a good bargain when she sees one", Bailey said. "Stop, Mr Mays", they heard Heather yell. "Mr Mays!" Mr Mays ran past them with Heather running after him. "Should've made the trade", Bailey commented. Meredith ran after them. "Dr Bailey. Hey, I might be interested in a trade", Beck said, approaching her.
Beck and Jackson were charting at the nurses station. They looked at each other briefly before slowly returning their eyes to their charts. Catherine came by with Richard at her side. She kissed Jackson on the cheek. "Mom", he said. She and Richard walked off together. "You okay?" Beck asked him.
"I'm fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
She closed her chart. "Want to have sex?"
"Yeah"
They rushed off to the on-call room together.
