meant to be.

She’s incredibly hungover, drinking far too much coffee.

“It takes a lot of adjusting, getting used to. It always rains, we rarely ever get a clear sky at night.” She says with a nod. “But I like it here. I ... like spending time with my sister.” Although that hasn’t always been the case. 

“I think I’ve ... told you the most important parts about me. The, uh, the photographic memory and I’m interest in neuro as a speciality.”

        lexie beams, lips curling from ear to ear. it’s their first official christmas together and lexie wants to celebrate properly with jane. she wants to spend the day with her (though that might not actually happen due to their jobs).  “yeah? awesome!” she turns her head a little to press a light kiss to jane’s lips. “i’ll call you when i finish work?” 

“there! all done.” the stitches were complete and the rest of the cleaning was done, she offered a warm smile and tipped her head. “maybe you should be a little more careful, y’know? i see you in here like every other week with some injury or another.” 

Lexie nodded her head, teeth chewing her lower lip nervously. The excitement on Amelia’s face was contagious and she could feel it spreading to herself, making her bounce on her toes. “Yeah! Yeah --- absolutely. I’d --- I’d love that. I really don’t wanna be on the O.B rotation, no offence to the people who like it but brains are just ... so awesome.” 

“Oh! Well, that’s nice - right? That’s a good thing? I celebrate. I’ll probably end up with my sister this year.” Which was a change.

“Oh, well, um. That depends on ... what you want to know! Personal, professional? I have a lot of things I could talk about but some of them might not be ... appropriate for work.” 

           “Th---a what? A fire? What kind of school has a fire? Where’s that note? Let me see it.”        

       “I’m sure it’ll be fine! It’ll be totally fine. I bet he just wants to check up with you, make sure that everything’s in tip top shape. You know the chief. Loves his hospital to be running as smoothly as possible.”

“Hey, hey. C’mere.” Lexie speaks in a loud but hushed whisper, beckoning her girlfriend over. “Are you free tonight? ‘Cause if so, I was wondering if you wanted to help me decorate my tree.”

“Do you celebrate? Christmas, I mean --- not everyone celebrates it, some people celebrate other holidays and some don’t do gift exchanging.”
