Elle stood by the nurses station with Grace. They were both pissed. Grace was pissed with mark and they had been fighting a lot and Elle, Elle didn't even know what was going on with her and Jackson. They were happy and loving together and she loved him but there was a strain,Elle was annoyed as she knew how Jackson hardly seemed to even touch her anymore and her mind was thinking over other things

"Have you talked to mark"

"No. Im forcing on being a mom right now"

"Are you okay?" Elle asked

"He's too busy with Callie isn't he. I just want to rip his head off and kill him I hate how it's like this" Grace said as Elle looked to her

"can you actually trust him with Callie I mean I know that you and mark have been through a lot but they use to have sex and he's mark and she's Callie" Elle said as grace sighed

"I don't know"

"What's going on with you and Jackson"

"I don't know grace. I and I am sick of the same fight I am trying to be supportive and I am trying to be there for him but it's not easy when he is pushing me away. I just...I don't know what to do"

"Are you okay" grace asked as Elle looked to her and shock her head

"No. I don't even know what to do anymore it's all too much" elle said as grace smiled

"Just don't let him hurt you okay" grace said as Elle smiled

"I'm just scared. Jackson is always around Lexie and I am not trying to be jealous but I just have a bad feeling" Elle said as grace looked to her and smiled

Jackson, April, and Lexie are admiring Richard and Bailey as they are removing a gallbladder through the patient's mouth.

"You're removing a gallbladder from someone's mouth. I mean, no incision, no scar. It's like you were never there. I... sorry. I'll stop talking. " April asked

" You want to do one of these? " bailey asked

"Is that a trick question? "

" The ... the trick is, how bad do you want it? "

"Um, wh-when I was little, I wanted a pony ... Like, really, really wanted a pony. This feels a little bit like that. " Lexie said

" Good, 'cause I'm having a contest. Grabbing the gallbladder. Now each of you is researching a different protocol Aimed at trying to eliminate fistulas, but it's taking too long. So this is the incentive. The person whose protocol leads to the fewest number of post-operative complication Gets to pull a gallbladder out of a mouth. There she is. Beautiful. "

" All righty. May I be excused? I am checking on my patients every two hours, and it's time. " April asked

" Go ahead. "
