It had only been about a month since Callie and Addison had moved to New York from Seattle, and they were looking to finally settle down and lay some roots in their own space. A lot of things had changed, including the fact that they were newly married. It was going to be an adjustment for Callie, considering she’d never lived in New York, but she knew that they were going to make it their home. 

After getting settled into their new positions at the hospital, they decided to start looking around at their potential new home. The brunette had done some research on some of the nicer homes, considering both of them were relatively well off. “What do you think of this one?” She asked, turning her laptop screen to face her wife.

Teddy had finished grading some papers for the professor a little early and decided to join in on a pick up game of soccer. She loved the pick up games, but missed her days playing for Texas University. Coaching was fun but nothing beat playing. The sweating blonde stopped for a quick sip of water and practically spit it out when she realized the time. “Hey! I gotta run, Dr. Montgomery is out of class.” She called out to her friends while swiping her things and running to the science building.

Teddy was in her second year of medical school and it was quite the adjustment. She ended up with a scholarship which led her to choose this school over Texas. She worked as a TA for Dr. Montgomery, one of the toughest and most well respected professors in the medical school. During what little free time she had, she coached soccer and tutored to get a little more cash. Sure, her parents helped as much as they could, but it was a different tune up north in “prep country” as she called it. 

Teddy ran into the building and headed straight to Dr. Montgomery’s hall just as he was walking in with the hottest red head she’d ever seen. It wasn’t uncommon for him to be in the company of other students. Teddy found it disturbing but never said anything. She set her boundaries with him whenever he made advances and that was that. There was no way she was losing this opportunity. Teddy straightened out her sweaty tank top as she approached her mentor. She could feel eyes on her bare, toned legs that were barely covered by her nike shorts. She didn’t typically dress this way in front of him for this exact reason, but given the circumstances she had no choice. “Um, Dr. Montgomery, I have your papers graded. I also had a quick question about the lab I’m teaching tomorrow if you have a moment.” She was quick and to the point. Just how she always was with him. The established man nodded and gestured to his office, “Of course, let’s meet in my office.” Teddy groaned on the inside, she wasn’t too keen on being alone with him. But as long as she set her boundaries he, for the most part, respected them until the next encounter where he would hit on her. “Sorry, this will only be a second.” She apologized to the young women she took the man from. This was important and she needed to make sure she was prepared.

Although the patient was stable and able to be moved, Chief Webber had insisted that Addison be the one to perform surgery on the patients baby - who had amniotic bands around a tumour suffocating the baby’s trachea which would be life threatening if left until after birth. 

When Alex reached the practice, he took a minute to admit the practice with a small nod of his head. He moved alongside the EMT’s as they moved the patient into the practice and kept an eye on the monitors as the foetal monitor showed some signs of distress on occasion as they transported the mother. 

As the lift finished and opened up to level 5, he smiled a little at the sight of it all before moving forward and asking for Addison as the desk. After being told that Addison was in an appointment and had a full day, Alex rolled his eyes. “Yeah, Well you either get her here now, or I’ll find her myself” he stated, waiting a moment. after no movement from the male on the desk, Alex gave a sigh and moved across to look for Addison himself. Once he had located her empty office, he stepped inside looking around. 

There had been no hesitation, contemplation, or second thoughts when it came to Charlotte quitting her position at Pacific Wellcare. Once she'd realized the choice was between her job and Addison, there was nothing up for debate. The redhead had found a way past the steel walls surrounding Charlotte's heart, and there was no longer a way - or want - for her to leave.

Tonight would be their first "date" since Charlotte's resignation, as well as an intense breakup scare. Addison was coming over after she got out of work, and Charlotte was determined to show the woman she cared for, that she did indeed care. A lot.

"What you do means so much more." Addison's words played over and over in her head. Words were a challenge. Actions, she could do.
