“Hey,” Lexie said moving into the bar stool next to her friend for a moment.  “Having a good time?  How is baby treating you?” she asked as she ordered a drink for Josh and a club soda for herself.  “I wasn’t sure you were going to make it, but your dress is so pretty.  I love the color,” Lexie rambled to her friend.  

“Lexie, I am so happy to see you!” Graciella told Lexie with a smile and put her hand on her friend’s arm. “She’s being an evil daughter, Lex. She thinks my bladder is for squeezing.” Graciella told Lexie, shaking her head, and took a big sip from her glass. The ice making the drink cold was the best thing that had happened Graciella since she had arrived at the bar. Besides for finding somewhere to sit down. “Shut up, I look like a whale and you know it.” Graciella told her friend. She wanted to tell her that she was being nice, and she did enjoy the comment, but angry pregnant Graciella was out tonight.

Laurel wasn’t exactly thrilled that she couldn’t drink at this event. She couldn’t even tell people why she couldn’t drink. It had been a fun game trying to come up with excuses, or masking her ginger ale as one with tequila in it. The blonde spotted Graciella at the bar, laughing a little bit at the image of it. The other woman was significantly pregnant and sitting by the bar. Laurel approached, her hands clasped in front of her. “Hey!” She smirked a little bit. “You look absolutely thrilled to be here.” It couldn’t be fun to be at a formal event, surrounded by boring, drinking doctors, while practically about to give birth. “This image of you at the bar definitely cheered me up, though.” She chuckled, perching herself on the edge of a seat next to her. “How’re you feeling?” 

At the sight of her friend, Laurel, Graciella actually formed a genuine smile. The blonde’s words made Graciella let out a small laugh. “Oh, yes, always wanted to be in a crowded bar full of work associates 37 weeks pregnant” Graciella said sarcasticly and motioned around the room. “At least I could bring a smile to your face.” Graciella said with a sweet smile. “I’m feeling as one should this close to the due date” Graciella admitted and took a big sip from her glass, enjoying the coolness of the ice against her hot lips. Putting it down, she turned back to the blonde. “My feet are so swollen and my evil daughter is sitting straight on my bladder.” Graciella admitted with a smile wince, trying to not think about how badly she needed to pee.

EVENT 07

CLOSED STARTER    //    lucia&cameron    @ofseattles​ 

Lucia was happy to be at the conference. She loved her job, but lately it had been a bit much of the same old. She had almost fallen into a rut at work. A good conference was always a good way to break away from that. Get new ideas and perspectives, get to hear from and even meet a lot of new people. As Lucia was heading towards the elevators at the hotel, where the conference were held, Lucia noticed a familiar face among the people waiting for the elevator doors to open. A wide smile spread over Lucia’s big pink lips as she approached the woman. “Hey you,” Lucia said, putting a hand on her friend’s shoulder. The two were close friends and would often spend their free time together, however they had not seen each other since Lucia arrived at the conference.

EVENT 07

CLOSED STARTER   //    graciella&nico    @ofseattles​ 

Graciella had always enjoyed attending medical lectures and conferences like these ones. However, being in her 37th week of pregnancy, she did not enjoy it as much as she usually would. Graciella would never understand women who loved being pregnant. This would be her second child, and Graciella was very happy to be pregnant, as she knew many women struggled to get pregnant and she personally wanted a big family. However, the months of being pregnant sure was long and painful. Graciella had never been one to enjoy being pregnant. She constantly felt sweaty, swollen, nauseated and needing to pee. On the other hand, having left her three year old son with her husband at their house as she spent the week at the hotel, where the conference were held, was not half bad. For all of the conferences and long lectures, Graciella always tried to look professional and pushed her pregnant body into proper dresses, but the second she was back in her hotel room, she got her most comfy maternity clothes. Just having changed, Graciella headed out of her hotel room and down the hall. Earlier that day she had met her old friend Nico and they had decided to meet to talk. Wearing a Winnie the Poh fluffy onesie with the hood up, her pregnant belly adding a true Winne the Pooh energy to it, Graciella stopped outside of Nico’s hotel room and knocked on the door.

OPEN EVENT STARTER  // graciella guzman 

Her due date being in just a few short weeks, Graciella felt more pregnant than human. Having pushed her big belly into a, supposed to be loose sitting, dress, Graciella’s patient had already ran thin and she had found some comfortable sneakers for her feet. Whenever she caught a glance of herself in a mirror, she felt like a whale. Pregnancy made her nauseated, sweaty, have cramps and needing to run pee for what felt like every five seconds. Making her way to the crowded hotel bar, Graciella tried to avoid any reflective surface to spot herself in, but still felt like a pissed off whale. However, tonight she would try to be ‘happy mom to be’-pregnant and less ‘kill me now’-pregnant. 

Making her way to the bar, Graciella ordered a glass of soda with a lot of ice and lime in it. Honestly, mostly happy to find a seat. As the young mother noticed someone approaching her she tried to find some niceness inside of her angry pregnant brain and forced a smile on her lips. “Hi, there.” She greeted the person approaching her.

Lexie would have been lying if she said she wasn’t excited that Amelia had invited her to have breakfast after their shift together.  Lexie enjoyed working with the youngest Shepherd, and felt the woman had a lot to teach.  Plus, they were practically family anyways.  “I am.  Are you?” Lexie asked as she grabbed her bag from her locker and headed out of the room to walk down the hall with Amelia.  

“Yes. Let’s goo.” Amelia exclaimed, gesturing to the other woman to come with her. Amelia smiled at Lexie as she headed towards Amelia. The two had gotten to know each other through the years since their siblings were married. Amelia enjoyed spending time with Lexie. She was fun to talk to and it was nice for Amelia to not be the youngest sister for once. It would be nice to not have to think about herself and her baby for an hour or two, as well. “So, I’m thinking.” Amelia started as the two walked down the hall, heading for the hospital’s lobby. “Pancakes, waffles or both?”

carina usually sat with whoever she could find at lunch, but today she was sitting at a table alone to go over some work. she was trying to finalise the most important points of her research before she started writing it up properly. she had hit a brain block when amelia walked over. carina looked up from her work and smiled - good timing. “of course, yes. take a seat,” she offered, motioning towards the free chair opposite. she didn’t know doctor shepherd well, but well enough to be friendly. “how are you?”

Amelia offered the other doctor a friendly smile and sat down, putting her lunch on the table. “Thanks.” Amelia said and started unpacking her lunch; she had brought leftovers from last night’s dinner. Even if Amelia was not exactly going through an ordinary pregnancy, she still had insane cravings. Last night she had had cravings for burritos, but it was late so she and Ryan had made their own. As she was just about to bite into her first burrito Carina asked how she was. Stopping in her movements, Amelia put her burrito back down for a second. “I’m fine.” She answered, mostly by habit, and offered the other a plastered on smile, trying to believe the words yourself. “What were you working on?” Amelia said, trying to change the subject and took her first big bite of the burrito.

“It’s Kathleen,” She corrected almost immediately, practically a reflex at this point. The parts of her that had been Katie Shepherd died at age twelve along with their father, she’d shed what was left of her innocence. She was Kathleen Shepherd, an intelligent and strong independent woman, not scared little Katie who had naively believed that bad things didn’t happen to good people. Kathy had always reminded her of middle aged women who had nothing better to do than sit at home and gossip with their neighbours, her secret storing and sharing had always been much more sophisticated than that. Secrets were her currency, her way of proving that she was better and she knew it. She could deal with Kate, her former in-laws had called her that and she hadn’t minded it quite so much. However, with Amelia it would always be Kathleen. She sighed, not seeing a good reason to turn her sister away - although granted she’d never needed one before. “Sure,” It was clear that she was reluctant, rolling her eyes as she stepped away from the door to give the youngest Shepherd room to move into the hallway. She wouldn’t deny that she was basically radiating an arrogant pride, as though revelling in her put togetherness - the immaculate house a visual representation of it - while her sister always seemed to be falling apart. Of course that put togetherness had been a façade as of late, but Amelia didn’t need to know that. “So I didn’t get a weather report about Hurricane Amy,” She snarked as she moved towards the sitting room, figuring the wine on her kitchen island would be too much of a temptation for her sister, sparing her at least that, “Which means your still going to have to answer my question. What are you doing here Amelia?”

Amelia almost felt attacked when her sister corrected her name almost immediately. However, knowing Kathleen’s feeling about nicknames and the two sisters’ relationship through the years, Amelia definitely expected that response. Kathleen was one of the few people who could affect Amelia in this way. She made Amelia feel small and threatened. Almost like muscle memory the feeling kicked in when in Kathleen’s company. Amelia was relieved that Kathleen let her into her house, she had definitely not counted on that. It was clear that Kathleen was reluctant to let Amelia in, but Amelia decided to focus on the fact that she had in fact let her in. Wiping off her shoes against the welcome mat, Amelia slowly stepped into her sister’s home and followed Kathleen towards the sitting room. Not surprised, but still hurt, Amelia sighed when Kathleen snarked at her, calling her Hurricane Amy. Amelia had always hated that nickname. Trying to shrug the feeling off Amelia entered the sitting room and sat down. “Kathleen, please, sit. I came to talk. I feel like I need to apologise.” Amelia said, trying to sound confident in her words, but actually feeling quite nervous about it. As part of her 12 step program in AA after rehab, Amelia was in the step about forgiving and apologising. That was what had brought her to her sister’s door.

“You say that now, but just wait until she’s actually doing some interior decorating. Then you’ll be wishing for tiaras and tea parties,” She warned. She might not have had any kids of her own, but two nieces meant she’d went to her fair share of teddy bear picnics, and being the cool aunt meant that she couldn’t only do the stuff she wanted to do - like painting or bouncing on the trampoline - if she wanted to keep her title. “Oh I was for sure a wall drawer, and they weren’t as good as more recent masterpieces. Think more Picasso.” Scribbles that took up half of her mother’s good walls. “I don’t know, I think you would look pretty good all beautified. Maybe you should let her do some Princess makeovers.” Although at two she wasn’t sure that they would be all that great, maybe leave it a couple more years. “For five fries and a couple of patients, you’ve got to be kidding!” Daphne exclaimed, shaking her head and her hand wildly gesturing in her denial, “Absolutely not. That’s barely worth a week.”

Tyler let out a small laugh at Daphne’s reply. “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll allow some tea parties and tiaras.” Tyler gave in and chuckled. Daphne could definitely be stubborn, and Tyler did actually agree with her. If his daughter became a princess and tea parties girl he would definitely be the dad wearing a tiara and drinking air tea. “Your loving parents probably took it down and framed it.” Tyler joked, knowing that Daphne had had good parents. “Okay, one, I’d look freaking fabulous. Two, if and only if, she becomes like that, I’ll make you babysit.” Tyler replying, the last part challengeling, and took another bite of his burger. When Daphne replied Tyler laughed so hard he almost choked on his soda. “Fine, fine. Two patients, one week?”

“Well, that’s great news for me.” He smiled at her. The stuttering was cute but he was spoken for but it didn’t hurt to have a beautiful women falling over him. A little bit of confidence booster. “Nice to meet you. Are you a doctor here?” He asked her. “I do. I’m one of the hospital lawyers.” 

Flustered, and feeling the heat in her blushed cheeks, Graciella felt embarrassed and her gaze temporarily fell to her feet. “Right, yeah.” Her gaze moving back up to the handsome stranger. “I am, actually. A surgeon.” Graciella said, trying to push back the nervousness to get the blushing down. “Of course, yeah, you said that.” Graciella realised, feeling stupid. “Nice to meet you too, I mean.”

⌜ GRACIELLA GUZMAN ⌟‌​

Lachlan hadn’t been in a teaching hospital for a long while, and was still trying to get back into the swing of things now that he was back and most importantly, back as chief. He had to at least try and become a good teacher. “I tell you what, I’ll put a surgery on it.” That was surely a good way to be a teacher? “If you win, you can scrub in on a surgery of mine. Whatever one you want.” Not that he tended to have a lot to choose from, but the good ones did tend to cross his roster. “Is betting surgeries allowed do you think?” He asked, with a laugh.

Graciella giggled nervously, when Lachlan suggested betting for a surgery, unsure of whether he was serious or not. Graciella was about to ask if that was allowed when he asked himself. Taking another sip of her drink she decided to try and bring confident Graciella forth. “Well, you’re the chief, if you say it’s allowed it’s allowed, right?” Graciella said with a somewhat confident smile and cocked her eyebrows at her boss. Her head was already spinning on what sort of interesting, complex pediatric surgery she would try to get from him. “Now, I definitely need to win this bet.” Graciella said with a sneaky smile.

Alice watched the woman enter the room. Her eyes glanced down to the tissues, and she sighed, taking one. She sat down on the bed, playing with the now wet tissue in her hands. “Thank you.” She whispered. She tore her gaze away from the tissue in her hand and back up to the other. “I kissed someone I shouldn’t have.”

Graciella felt unsure of how to approach the woman. She did not want to leave her, however she did not want to impose on her either. Graciella felt somewhat relieved when the other took a tissue and actually spoke to her. “I’ve definitely done that before. I won’t judge.” Graciella offered with a small smile and slowly sat down next to her, observing her with her eyes to see if it was okay.

Nico looked at the nurse with distain. He didn’t have a concussion, and it should have been ruled out before the surgery on his arm. He was fine. He didn’t need to be in the bed any longer. “Bring the doctor over here.” He didn’t want to be mean to the nurse, but he wanted to speak to whoever was in charge of his case. “Is it Hunt? Martinez? Torres? Lincoln? Nelson?”

Finally, Lucia decided to agree with the patient and find a doctor for him. “Alright.” Lucia said, grabbing his chart she double checked before telling him who the doctor was. “It’s Dr Torres. I‘ll go get her.” Lucia said and left the patient. At the nurses' station Lucia paged Dr Torres, while she did so another nurse came to Nico and updated him about his friends.

⌜ LUCIA ROMERO ⌟··

Gabriela’s face dropped slightly in surprise as she realised exactly who’s drink she’d manage to pick up, more shocked to see Lucia in Seattle more than anything else. “Oh my goodness, Lucia!” She was more than pleased to see her family friend - their families had known one another for years, even helping Lucia’s family get settled when they started their move to the states a few years after the Perez’s. “What are you doing here, do you work here now?” She asked, a somewhat stupid question considering they were stood by the same cart. 

Lucia was happy but shocked to see Gabriela. Their families knew each other well, but they had lost touch the last couple of years. “It’s so good to see you” Lucia exclaimed and wrapped her free arm around her friend in a one-armed hug, due to the coffee she was holding. “I do! I’m actually a surgical nurse practitioner” Lucia said with a cocky smile that in a moment broke into a small laugh. “The title sounds so silly, I’m a scrub nurse.” Lucia added, she definitely felt more like a scrub nurse than a surgical nurse practitioner. She didn’t feel confident enough in her skills and responsibility to feel lke a surgical nurse practitioner. “You work here too?” Lucia asked, guessing she did, however she didn’t see any scrubs and Lucia never remembered her being interested in medicine.

Closed Starter for @mimimumu for Lucia 

Alayna’s nurse was out for the day but she needed a surgical nurse when she saw the other women. “My scrub nurse is out how do you feel about scrubbing in on a hip replacement?” She asked the other women. Hoping that she would say yes. Layn held the chart in her hand. “Here’s the chart about the patient if you are interested. It should be a standard surgery.”

Lucia was standing by the nurses’ station when the doctor approached her. “I feel great about it. Let’s do it.” The surgery Lucia had been booked for that afternoon had been cancelled so she was available. Putting down the tablet she had been holding, she took the chart handed to her and started looking through it. “He looks stable, should be fine.” Lucia said as she looked through his scans, vitals and test results. “When’s the surgery?” Lucia said, looking up from the chart.

“Put it this way, would you prefer princess phase or drawing on walls?” The tone she’d taken when asking should have given Tyler a clue about which Daphne had went through. Of course she still drew on the walls from time to time, and now Bob claimed that he’d always known she was going to be an incredible artist from the first time he’d seen one of her murals made up of scribbles but she didn’t quite remember her parents’ first reaction being quite so proud. Or calm. “Look, you’ll be fine whatever way she grows up,” She tried to assure him, but maybe it was slightly unhelpful when she added, “…but then again I don’t have kids so maybe you won’t? But hey, at least you’ll still love her.” She rolled her eyes, not totally enthusiastic about owing the other nurse a favour, but she supposed that he was right. It couldn’t be all take and no give. “Fine,” She conceded reluctantly, “What exactly do you have in mind?”

Tyler chuckled at Daphne’s question, immediately knowing what she thought he should answer. “Honestly, I’d prefer drawing on walls.” Tyler said, knowing Daphne thought he’d pick princess phase. However, he was being genuine. He would definitely prefer drawing on walls. Tyler was the kind of father who would draw with her and see it as an opprtunity to get new wallpapers later. “Lemme’ guess, you were the kind of girl who drew on the walls?” Tyler asked with a raised brow and slowly took a sip of his soda, not letting her go with his eyes. “Of course, I’d still love her, I’d just prefer a tom boy.” Tyler admitted with a shrug and popped a fry in his mouth. He'd never stop loving his little girl, but raising a tomboy would be a lot easier for a father like Tyler. No matter what Daphne said, what anyone said really, Tyler could not shake the feeling that he would mess upp with a girly daughter. As Daphne agreed to give him something back, Tyler became very confident and leaned in closer to her. “All my rectal exams for a month.”

“How exactly does all that work?” AJ asked curiously.  He had never gone into too much detail about it all with Tyler.   He had always listened, but never asked more questions because he didn’t want to pry.  Now, AJ had no idea what he would be facing in the future.  Did he want to be an involved father?  How would that change things with Cam?  “Uh probably a bacon cheeseburger and fries.  You?”

Tyler exhaled deeply, partly annoyed. Not annoyed with his friend, but annoyed with the situation and frustrated at barely knowing what was happening himself. “I barely even know, man. Caity just.. Right now, she just needs time, I guess. To figure stuff out or whatever. Until then, we have Alyssa 50/50 and for some reason barely see each other.” Tyler explained the situation as well as he could. Caity had left him, she had had decided that they were separated. Tyler was still confused himself. “No way, man. That’s what I was gonna’ order” Tyler admitted with a wide smile and a chuckle. The next second he waved for someone to take their order.
