It's always been you, April Kepner

"Oh, right. Sorry, Dr. Hunt. Right away"

Stark stops April before she walks out "You know, Dr. Kepner"

"Yeah" she says softly

"Perhaps if you spent a little more time just doing your job, a little less time learning the new languages, your attendings wouldn't have to repeat themselves." Stark walks away

"What an ass" Madelyn mutters under her breath

"Excuse me?" Owen says

"Nothing" she replies to busy focused on the embarrassed look April has on her face

Madelyn and April look for Stark after both girls have some questions

"Dr. Stark, can we talk to you?" Madelyn asks making the man stop

"Well, it appears you already are" Stark sasses

April notices the angry look on Maddy's face so she decides to ask

"We, have some concerns about Asha. She hasn't eaten a bite of food since she arrived"

"All right. Start her on parenteral nutrition" Stark orders as he starts walking up the stairs away from both girls

"I will, obviously, but more to the point, the fact that she's not eating, not speaking ..."

"Kepner" he says turning to face her

"She just seems really scared, and I ..."

"You know, unless the next piece of information from your mouth relies on the words, uh,"Lab results" or "Vitals" or "Code blue," I don't care" Stark says turning his back on them 

"You promised" April says making him stop "You promised me that we could work together, that-that it wouldn't be weird, that-that you would treat me like any other resident"

"I assure you, I am treating you exactly the way I treat other residents. Ask Shepherd"

Madelyn raises her brow slightly acknowledging he wasn't exactly lying, however before she gets a chance to speak all of their pagers start going off

"It's a 9-1-1 on Asha" April reads, all three of them run to her room

"Asha, what's wrong?" April asks sweetly as she heads straight over to the little girl

"Okay, what happened?" Stark asks the nurse

"Her blood pressure dropped out. Her pulse was thready"

"Somebody notify Hunt" Madelyn says

"Help" Asha barely gets out, April rubs the girls back soothingly as Asha starts throwing up blood which ends up all over Aprils shoes

"Okay, get me four units of packed cells ... draw a new C.B.C. , coags, open up her fluids. Kepner, get a gown" Stark orders

"I'm fine. I-I need a central line kit right now"
