TW: violence

Sweetpea fluttered his eyes open. White washed walls, the smell of disinfectant in the air, and bleak wallpaper that was slightly chipping, Sweetpea quickly realized he was in the hospital.

He glared around the room, an IV tube running through his arm. "Shit..." he muttered, tugging slightly at the hospital gown he was placed in.

"Well..you gave us quite the scare there..."

Sweetpea's head snapped up, a short, pink haired doctor, wearing navy blue scrubs walked into the room, followed by two other doctors wearing a lighter shade of blue.

"W-what happened? The last thing I remember was...I was driving and- and then a car was rushing towards me and everything went black."

The doctor smiled, "Dr. Grey, present this man's chart."

The doctor, Dr. Grey, spoke suddenly.

"Sweetpea Jones, 28, got into a car accident, multiple wounds to the abdomen and head CT looks clear."

"Good. Now I'm going to the abdominal exam." The pink haired doctor declared, looking down at him.

"I'm basically just going to feel your belly." She whispered to him. He nodded and pulled up his shirt. She gently pressed her hands on his stomach, noticing his flinch at her touch.

"You have to stay still." She warned, moving her hands up and down.

"Does this hurt?" She asked him. He nodded, "a little but not a lot.." he answered.

"Alright I'm gonna run a couple tests and get you some scans and then we are gonna do the surgery today. If that's all right with you?"

He slowly nodded, not fully understanding what she was saying. Then, she waved the others away, leaving Sweetpea alone with her.

"You're gonna be just fine Sweetpea." She reassured, "I'll take you up to surgery and I'll be preforming it."

Sweetpea looked at her, "what's your name?"

The mystery doctor raised her eyebrows, "Dr. Antionette Topaz"

"Nice to meet you-" he stuck out his hand, "do you happen to know where my clothes are?"

Dr. Topaz laughed, "yeah- they are in a bag over by that wall." She pointed, smiling. He glanced over to the wall and back at her, her eyes gleamed.

"This IV itches..." he blurted out, rubbing his arm.

"Hey- hey let me fix that!" She paused to fix the IV, "let me help you.."

She adjusted it, making it itch less. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Is there anything else I can get you?"

"yeah...a date" he grinned. She raised her eyebrows.

"Excuse me?"

"You're the most beautiful person I've ever encountered, and I want to know you wanna go grab some coffee later?"

He watched her cheeks grow pink.

"That's a little extreme for your doctor..isn't it?"

"I feel a connection here." He said waving his hands, reaching out to grab hers. She looked down at his hand and allowed him to take hers, he rubbed his finger on several of her rings. He leaned over and kissed her hand.

"Okay..." she muttered, pulling her hand away. "We are gonna get you another head CT." She laughed. He rolled his eyes playfully,

"My first head CT was clear!"

Dr. Topaz grabbed her charts and turned to head out the door, "I know." She said, looking back at him with the familiar gleam in her eye.

Dr. Topaz headed into another room down the hall, followed quickly by Dr. Grey.

"Dr. Grey. Present."

"Chuck Clayton. 30, serious leg trauma, surgery went well, still waiting on the CT scans and waiting until he's cleared to go."

Dr. Topaz grinned, "so basically Chuck, we have to wait until the final CT scans are clear to make sure we didn't miss anything, and then if there's nothing you're free to go."

Chuck smiled, "thanks doc"

"Anytime." She smiled.

Another surgeon with light blue scrubs burst into the room, he was tall, muscular, and had brown hair.

"Dr. Topaz, CT scans are clear for Mr. Clayton." He said.

"Great! Thank you Dr. Keller."

Dr. Keller nodded and left the room. Dr. Topaz turned to Dr. Grey.

"I need you to prep Mr. Jones for his surgery, I will meet you in the scrub room to preform it."

"Yes ma'am."

Dr. Topaz and Dr. Grey both left the room in order to prep for their next surgery.

Sweetpea looked around the OR. A handful of surgeons were prepping for his surgery. It was simple, to remove a piece of metal in his body.

Dr. Topaz strutted into the scrub room, "You ready to scrub in?" She asked Dr. Grey, her response was an intense nod and a bright smile.

Dr. Topaz went into the OR, gloves and gown on. She looked down at Sweetpea.

"There's the hot doctor!" He chuckled, Toni smiled, "you nervous?" She asked calmly. He nodded a little,

"Is there anyone we could call?"

Sweetpea looked down and hesitated, "nah, I'll see them when I get home."

Dr. Topaz nodded, "alright well- the nurse is doing to put you under general anesthesia so you'll fall asleep for the whole procedure."

Sweetpea smiled, "fantastic"

Dr. Topaz gave Dr. Grey the anesthesia mask and watched her hover the mask over him.

"Dr. Topaz?"

"You can call me Toni" Dr. Topaz looked down as smiled, Sweetpea grabbed her hand.

"Toni...I-I'm not gonna die...am I?"

Dr. Grey spoke up, "This is a very simple procedure, and Dr. Topaz is one of the best." She reassured. Sweetpea smiled and looked at Dr. Topaz.

"One of the best eh?"

She scoffed and lowered the mask over him, allowing him to fall into a sleep like state.

"Well he's a flirt isn't he?" Dr. Grey laughed. Toni chuckled softly, "Kinda cute too..."

After the surgery, Sweetpea was put back in room while Toni checked up on her other patients.

"Alright Mr. Chuck, I'm just gonna give you the standard discharge check up before your out of here."

Chuck smiled and followed Toni's finger with her hands.

"Good.." she mumbled, turning around to scribble something on her chart. A second later, she found herself in a choke hold. Toni struggled to breathe as she was slammed on the ground. She started to cough when she looked up to see Chuck, beating her to death. She tried to think of the medical term that would cause a person to do this...but she was too focused on staying alive.

Toni started to scream, she was being kicked rather forcefully against the wall and Chuck got down and punched her in the face. Toni looked askance, or rather, at the door. She thought of Sweetpea and wondered if he had woken up.

Chuck had pinned her to the floor, he had a piece of medical equipment that was sharp, he was stabbing Toni in various places. She screamed louder.

The door burst open and Dr. Jones looked down, he screamed for help.

Then everything went black.

Sweetpea opened his eyes, he was back in his hospital room. Dr. Grey stood beside him, writing something down.

"D-Dr. Grey?" He stuttered, still drowsy.

"Oh good you're awake!" She exclaimed, updating his chart. "How are you feeling?"

Sweetpea frowned and looked around, "where's Dr. Topaz...?"

Dr. Grey sighed, "I figured you'd ask...she's been in an accident." She said gloomily. Sweetpea's eyes widened,

"What kind of accident!?"

"Another patient abused her violently...I shouldn't of told you that..."

"No no I'm glad you did- is she okay!?? Can I see her!?"

Dr. Grey sighed, "Dr. Jones is preforming her surgery...she's almost out I promise."

"Dr. Jones...my brother?"

"Yeah...don't worry he's the best in his field."

"I know," Sweetpea laughed, "He brags all the time."

Dr. Grey smiled and did his post-op exam, everything was looking good.

When she left, Sweetpea grew more and more worried for his doctor. He didn't exactly know why, but all that mattered was if she was alright.

When Dr. Grey came back in, she brought two files with her. She sat down next to him, "Dr. Topaz is stable for the moment, but she suffered from a lot of trauma all over." She read from one of the charts, "her injuries are severe and she woke up..." she read. Sweetpea's heart felt heavy, he really wanted her to be okay.

"Can I see her?" He asked, swallowing hard.

"In a little while, she needs her rest, she woke up about 10 minutes ago."

He nodded and let her go, he waited for what felt like forever when finally Dr. Grey came back with a wheelchair.

"Thank you do much Dr. Grey..." he said gratefully.

"Please, call me Meredith."

She helped him into the chair and wheeled him down the hall, "wait-" he stopped, looking up at Meredith. "There's one thing I have to do first.."

Toni blinked softly, she didn't remember what happened after she blacked out, or how she got into this hospital room. But she was alive, and that's all she needed.
She closed her eyes and listened to her heart monitor.

Meredith rolled Sweetpea in with two cups of coffee. He set both of them down on the table, looking sadly over to Toni. He asked to be wheeled up closer to her, so he could touch her hand.

"Is she gonna be okay?" He asked, pulling his hand slightly away.

Meredith nodded with a smile. "She will be fine" She said, her voice filled with relief. Sweetpea exhaled and watched her sleep, feeling his eyes drift off on his own.

Toni woke up to two people in her room, one next to her and the other in the chair in the corner.

"Dr. Grey?" Toni asked the woman sitting in the chair, she nodded. Toni looked over and saw the sleeping figure next to her.

"And why aren't you in bed!?" She said, trying to keep her voice strong and professional. Sweetpea's head snapped up as he looked into Toni's eyes. He smiled,

"Since we can't really go on our coffee date now, I brought the coffee date to you."

She smiled dreamily, feeling her meds start to kick in, "You really don't stop do you?" He grinned, "nope."

Toni sat up as Meredith gently handed her the coffee cup, together, they both sipped their coffee and got to know each other.

"Can I tell you a secret?" She said, her eyes slowly blinking up and down. He frowned,

"Is the medicine making you drowsy?"

She slowly nodded, "I think my nurse is trying to kill me..." she chuckled. Dr. Grey laughed a little and adjusted her medication.

"Whenever you get out of here, do you want to go on an actual date with me?" Sweetpea asked, avoiding her eyes.

"That'd be great." She responded with a smile.
