Chapter Three

I'm in the OR, Winston on the table.
I'm operating with Amelia Shepherd and resident Levi Schmitt

"So, you're new, where'd you transfer from?" Asked Amelia, why does everyone ask that "a hospital in Switzerland" I reply, she nods "did you transfer or?" I ask, she nods "yup transferred from Manhattan to here" replied Amelia "what made you transfer?" Asked Amelia, another question people ask "Dr Cristina Yang said I'd do better here and I needed a change of scenery, what about you?" I reply, asking her the same question in return

"My brother moved here when his wife cheated on him so a few years later I decided to move here too...then- then he died" replied Amelia. Oh. I stand for a moment, unsure of what to say "I- I'm sorry" I say, she waves it off with a smile "it's alright life's turned up, I have a son and my boyfriend Link. What about you? Boyfriend? girlfriend? husband? wife? child? sister? brother? mother? father? Any family here?" Asked Amelia, I smile sadly and shake my head

"I'm an orphan, no parents, no siblings, no love, nothing, just me" I reply, this is Amelia's turn to be speechless "so, Schmitt did you say your name was?" I ask turning to Levi, he nods "yeah" replied Levi, I nod "so I take it you're not a transfer" I say, he shakes his head, born and raised here. "So, are you transferring after your residency or staying on?" I ask, he shrugs, I don't think he's used to being spoken to

"I'm not sure yet, I might transfer but I might just stay on I like it here" replies Levi. I nod. I'm not sure what else to say to these people. "So tell me, how are things here? Any gossip? Secret relationships? Something?" I ask trying to get to know the hospital a bit better "Owen was meant to be getting Married until his fiancé Teddy screwed another man and accidentally sent him a voicemail of it so they aren't doing that anymore and I'm not sure about much else. Meredith is rather hung up on DeLuca but I don't think she likes to admit that and I'm not sure what's going on with Maggie's love life but I guess it's rather manic in our house at the moment" replies Amelia

Our house?

"Y-you live with Meredith Grey? The Meredith Grey?" I ask astounded by the information "yeah- she's my sister in law- she was married to my brother Derek" replied Amelia. Her brother is Derek Shepherd? "Of course! Shepherd. Why didn't I realise?" I mentally criticise myself and Amelia chuckles "you really are a medical fanatic" comments Amelia

"I have a bit of a blood lust, a craving for surgery, the adrenaline" I reply, she chuckles softly again "what made you choose paediatrics instead of trauma then?" Asked Amelia, I shrug kind of unsure how to word my answer "I kinda had a shitty childhood. Moving from foster home to foster home- the ones I went to were rough and all I ever wanted to do was help people like me, kids, I just wanted to make children feel safe so I put my blood lust and adrenaline craving and my baby fever together and became a paediatric surgeon and it's done me good. So far I've saved 14 kids from abusive parents all because I know the looks" I reply, Amelia carries on the surgery rather dumbfounded

"That's incredible"  praises Amelia and I blush slightly. We scrub out of surgery and I go to update Winston's Mom. "Mrs Smith" I say, she turns to me, worry evident on her face "call me Gloria" orders Gloria softly. I nod "Gloria, we completes the surgery successfully, Winston's tumour is gone, his abdominal pains all sorted out. He's still under the anaesthetic but he should be awake soon" I explain, she engulfs me into a hug "thank you so much Dr Jenkins" says Gloria gratefully, I smile at her.

"Can I see him?" Asks Gloria. I nod and guide her to the ward. I sit in the cafeteria alone with my food and I'm joined by Owen "hello" I greet, he smiles at me "hello" replies Owen softly. I'm not sure exactly what to say, I don't do well with new people "how's the kid from earlier?" I ask, Owen tried to recall what I mean but then he remembers "he's perfectly fine" replied Owen. I smile

"So how are you finding it here at Grey Sloan?" Asked Owen, I nod, finishing my mouthful of salad "great actually" I replied "I wasn't expecting everyone to be so nice" I continue, he chuckles and nods "neither was I when I first joined but I love it here and I love the people" replied Owen "so you transferred as well? From where?" I ask, Owen looks up at me

"I was an army surgeon in Iraq" replied Owen, oh "that must've been exhilarating and terrifying at the same time" I comment, he nods "sure was" replied Owen "hey, fancy going for a drink at the bar later? It's only across the road" Asked Owen, I smile and nod "yeah I'd like that" I replied, he smiles and we eat in a comfortable silence for a while.

"So what's your story? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Wife? Husband?" Asks Owen as I walk to an on call room to go through charts and he joins me to do the same, a lot of people focus on love as well "nope painfully single- you?" I asked, he grimaced "two failed marriages and one failed engagement but a father of two kids" replied Owen

"That isn't the worst I guess" I say, he smiles and shrugs "it could be better could be worse but I love my kids, Allison and Leo, Leo's adopted and Allison is my child I had with my ex fiancé but I lobe them both the same" replies Owen. What a positive outlook on life.
