[Thank you all for commenting on the previous episode and please keep sharing your opinions, I love reading y'all's comments. I'm gonna keep track of the opinions until Sunday, so there's like an unofficial deadlines just as a heads up. I'm hoping to get Sixteen and Seventeen done tonight, then Eighteen, Nineteen and Twenty on Saturday and start on Season Three - which I'm very excited for - on Sunday. Also the gifs still aren't working, chrome is struggling to download them or something? I don't know but I'm gonna try and figure it out so next episodes have gifs instead of edits.]
"Why the suit?" Grace asks as the team is there to give blood.
Tim is dressed in a suit and Ana is sitting next to him, already donating blood.
"Court appearance." Tim replies, curtly.
"Ever given blood before?" Grace questions.
"Every eight weeks, like clockwork." Tim answers.
"Good for you."
"Yeah, save lives, get a personal oil change. It's win-win." Tim shrugs.
"I didn't know machines had blood." Harper teases, making Ana giggle.
"Don't laugh at that, runt, I'm half convinced you're a machine too, only a computer could manage all the things you worry about" Harper says.
"they're all important" Ana pouts.
"no, they're really not. you called me in the middle of the night worried about a ladybug that you found in your room, you thought it had too many spots" Tim argues and Ana just gives him a sheepish smile.
"How's it going, Mr. AB Negative?" Grace asks Nolan.
"Good. Donating blood is bringing back some complicated memories of when Henry was born. He had TOF. I spent a lot of time in the hospital banking blood." Nolan explains.
"I had no idea." Grace frowns.
"What's TOF?" Lucy asks.
"Tetralogy of Fallot. It's a heart defect." Nolan replies.
"Four defects, actually." Grace corrects.
"It's corrected by surgery. Three of them he had before he was a year old. Since we share the same rare blood type, I donated approximately 16 gallons." Nolan says.
"How is he doing now?" Ana asks, softly.
"All his checkups have been fantastic. Thank God." Nolan says.
"Make sure you drink the whole thing down." Grace tells Grey, who just put down his juice box.
"Woman, I'm a grown-ass man. I don't need a juice box." Grey answers, starting to stand up before wavering and falling back down into his seat.
"Whoa. You okay?" Grace asks.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Grey says, brushing her off.
"Sir, did you just faint?" Nolan questions, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I briefly succumbed to gravity." Grey replies, making everyone laugh.

"I need to get a restraining order." A man says, approaching Ana who is working the front desk.
"alright, who is it against?" Ana asks, softly.
"My cat. Meow Tse Tung." The man answers.
"um, I'm really sorry but we can only file restraining orders against humans" Ana says, softly.
"Don't you want to know what he did?" The man questions.
"I'm more of a dog person" Ana giggles, softly, before the man glares at her. "um, but have a great day."
