Sister, Sister¹

Bonding

"Okay, so, we agree that we like each other but we don't want to risk losing each other so we'll take this slow?" Ivy double checks with Jackson.

"Yes, Ivy. I like you, a lot, but you're also one of the most important people in my life. I'm not gonna rush this and end up losing you. So, as long as we can progress in our relationship, I'm good with whatever," He tells her, kissing her after.

Ivy pulls away, smiling, "Okay then. Come on, we don't want to be late."

Ivy walks into the residents lounge, holding a gift basket from Mayo and another from UCLA, "Okay, first Cristina gets one from the N.I.H., now you get two?"

"Who are they from?" Jackson asks, going to stand behind her.

"UCLA and Mayo. There's another one in my office from Hopkins," Ivy sighs.

Owen walks in, "Theres a trauma coming in on the roof. Oh, Shepherd? Where are these from?"

Jackson points out, "Worried your going to lose your star resident, Chief?"

Owen shakes his head, "Uh, no. Kepner, Shepherd, come with me."

"I gotta leave for my Northwestern interview in an hour. I told you yesterday," April says.

"She did," Ivy backs her up.

"Um, Avery?"

Ivy answers as Jackson kisses her and then steals one of the cookies, "He's with Sloan all day. Meredith's free."

Owen nods, "Okay, great. Shepherd, Grey, let's go."

They run to the helipad with him, "Female hiker found at the bottom of a ravine. Positive L.O.C with obvious head and abdominal trauma, hypothermia, frostbite, you name it."

"Lets go," they quickly get into the elevator and head down.

"Airway looks clear," Meredith says.

"Weakened pulse," Owen says, quickly checking her pupils.

Ivy sees her responsive and moves forward, "I'm Dr. Shepherd. You're in the hospital. Can you tell us your name?" She starts gasping for air, "Okay, okay. Let's go."

Owen clears a path, "Lets go. Outta the way."

Ivy sets the patient up to get her scans, "Okay, I'm gonna be right on the other side of that glass. You just try to stay calm."

As Ivy goes to leave, her wrist is grabbed by the patient. Ivy sees a bruising pattern on her wrist and then looks at her ankles to see marks there too, "You weren't hiking out there, were you?"

She shakes her head as Owen calls over the mic, "Whats the holdup, Shepherd?"

"I'm staying in. Get me an apron," Ivy commands.

"Okay. Here you go," she takes it and quickly gets it on, before turning back and grabbing the patients hand, "Okay, I'm gonna stay with you. I'm not leaving. I'll be right here the whole time."

Ivy stands with Meredith and Owen looking at the scans in the O.R., as Meredith says, "She was abused. It's all over the scans."

"Okay, so, we need to call the police," Ivy says.

"Just stay calm. We don't know anything for sure until she talks," Owen tells them.
