Scrubs and Strollers

"I was cleared" Ben showed her " I have surgery after lunch"

"They work fast" Miranda laughed

"You make your way over there yet" He asked already sure of the answer

"What's the point" She motioned towards her arm in the sling " I can't do surgery"

"Maybe you just want to talk" Ben shrugged

"We pay our therapist good money to just talk"

"Well the hospital brought this guy in for a reason" Ben argued

"What's the news" Callie walked over

"I've been cleared" Ben showed her

"What about you peds," Callie asked Miranda

"I obviously can't do surgery"

"Are you cleared emotionally?" She asked

"No, she is not because I would have heard it" Arizona walked up " And I am demanding she goes talks to Perkins"

"I can't do surgery"

"But you are my fellow and you can still offer insight. So go talk to him" Arizona demanded

"You know you can be bossy"

"Isn't she great"Callie swooned

"Gross" Miranda stuck her tongue out

"Are you guys going to Owen's wedding?" Ben asked

"Owen is getting married," Miranda asked

"You can gossip with us AFTER you're cleared" Arizona pointed

"Fine" Miranda walked away and went to talk to Dr.Perkins

"Dr.Bailey" He smiled when she walked in " Here to get cleared"

"They said you're the guy I need to see" She nodded

"I am" He chuckled "On the, uh, day of the shooting, I understand that you had a particularly difficult day"

"On the day I gave birth to my son, and my husband needed a craniotomy, and he died on Derek Shepherd's table. Now that was a particularly difficult day. But at the end of that day, my son was born. Silver lining. But at the end of this day. No silver lining. This day was the worst day of my life"

"You lived"

"I beg your pardon"

"Silver lining you lived" He leaned forward  " And it is my understanding you have been a silver lining for Dr.Warren"

"You can't tell me what you talk about with him"

"I'm not. But I am saying he mentioned you"

"Figures" She chuckled "He wants to get married once we heal"

"And how does that make you feel"

"Excited"

"You recounted your husband died the same day your son was born"

"That's correct"

"No fear about getting married again" He asked

"This is different," She remarked "Benjamin is not Tucker. Just because Tucker died doesn't mean Ben will"

"True"

"I could have died when 11 people died and I didn't. There has to be a reason for that"

"Does it help you to think there's a reason?" He asked
