After The Storm (Sequel)

Believe In Yourself

"You look extremely cheerful this morning" I say sitting at the front desk as Amelia walks over smiling

"I am. I started my day off with amazing sex. Do you know how long it had been since I had great sex? God, I'm so glad Owen and I are back together" she smiles making me laugh

"I understand that. When Jackson and I were going through a rough time we went so long without having sex, but once we finally made up it was so amazing. We haven't stopped making up for lost time since" I smirk

"Is sex all you people talk about" Bailey scoffs walking over to the front desk to grab some files

"Pretty much" Amelia and I smirk making Bailey shake her head before walking away

"I have to go, surgery calls" Amelia sighs as her pager goes off before leaving for surgery and I begin focusing back on my paperwork that I was working on.

"Keps, call the plumber would you" Riggs says to April who is also standing at the front desk as he walks by

"Sure" she nods

"Did he really just refer to the morgue as the plumber" I frown

"Oh yeah. That's something we say over there. They circle the drain then they clog it. Call the plumber" she says

"Hunts right. We hate that guy" I mumble before walking away from the front desk to meet Edwards in CT so she can give me a overview of what's in my schedule so far for today.

"Edwards" I smile walking into CT where Stephanie was sitting

"Morning. Uh, pits called for a consult. I rounded on all of your post-ops. Four aneurysm repairs, all doing fine and Mr. Klein is awake and responsive" she says

"Well look who came prepared this morning. You've been impressing me lately Edwards. I think that it's time to move you up to the next level" I say grabbing my iPad from her

"Next level" she asks obviously confused

"Yeah, the next time we get a patient with a aneurysm, I'm going to let you clip it yourself" I smile

"Really?! Are you serious or are you playing a really cruel joke on me Dr. Garcia" she asks

"I'm serious. Derek had me clipping aneurysms at this stage in my residency and I feel like you're talented enough for me to let you take that step" I say

"Oh my God, thank you Dr. Garcia" she smiles hugging me

"Edwards, personal space" I remind her

"Sorry" she apologizes letting me go. I could understand why she was so excited, I know I literally smiled and rambled on all day the first time Derek let me clip a aneurysm because I was just so happy and it felt good to be that person who gets to give someone else that happiness, but sometimes it does feel weird to me that I'm someone's mentor. After Edwards and I finish talking we begin walking to the E.R. for my consult.

"Patients 25, complaining of new-onset headache, transient numbness on the left side. She passed out in gymnastics practice. Do you know what I'm thinking" Edwards smiles
