DR. NIEVES HAD JUST FINISHED ROUNDS WHEN SHE SPOTTED MEREDITH AND CRISTINA WALKING OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL.
Cristina seemed really tense and Camilla noticed that she was yelling at the blonde, "Uh oh."
Camilla rushed outside to hear Cristina's rant, "You know, this whole thing, this happily ever after does not exist. So please, please, please, as you weigh your options here, just, you know, consider the possibility of shutting the hell up, because I can't listen to it anymore."
Meredith opened her mouth to speak but Cristina interrupted her, "No."
"Okay..."
"No!"
"I..."
"Okay, that's it. I'm done." Cristina moved to walk back into the hospital but she slipped on ice and fell onto her back,
"Oh my god, Cristina!" Camilla ran over and kneeled next to her,
"Oh, ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Are you okay?!" Cam asked,
"I'm fine." Cristina groaned,
Meredith stood over the two, "I'm not gonna say you deserved that, but you deserved that."
"Oh, thanks. Oh, help me. Help me up."
The trio heard a crack and looked up to see the clump of icicles that had frozen on the overhang above the hospital doors.
A large icicle broke off and fell straight down, piercing Cristina in the abdomen. Cristina gasped in pain and the other two gaped in horror,
"Don't move. I'm gonna go get some help." Meredith said, "Cam, put pressure on it."
"Get a gurney!" Camilla pressed her hands around the icicle, "Only you would get stabbed by an icicle." She smiled,
"Oh, shut up." Cristina groaned,
Camilla glanced back towards the door, "Where's Mer?"
She watched as Owen Hunt came out the front doors and he jogged over, "Hey!"
Camilla shooked her head, "Don't run on that leg." She scolded him, "We just put staples in it."
"What happened?" He asked as he stared down at Cristina,
She glanced between Owen and Cristina, "I think it's pretty self-explanatory."
Owen reached down, "Let me help you get her inside."
Camilla placed her hand on his forearm, "Wait!" He paused, "Meredith is coming with a gurney."
He stared into her eyes with a smirk, "Don't you trust me?"
She examined his face for a moment. She just met the man... so, did she trust him? He saved someone's life earlier and instead of getting stitches and leaving, he went back to see the man and tried to help him walk again.
"Yes, I trust you."
"Then let's get her inside. If it's pierced anything internal, we need to pull it out right away." Owen ordered,
"Right. Okay."Camilla nodded as Owen lifted her up,
Cristina stared at the blonde "You were right. He is hot."
"Cristina, you're not supposed to say that when he's right here." Camilla hissed, avoiding eye contact with Owen as she led him down the corridor and into a trauma room,
"Mer! Get a team!" Camilla called out.
They all gathered in the trauma room and Owen placed Cristina onto the bed, "Put her on a monitor. Order a portable chest." Meredith ordered the nurses, "I'm gonna cut your top off."
"It's in-between my ninth and tenth intercostal spaces." Cristina informed them, "There's no hemo or pneumothorax. My vitals are stable. Just pull it out."
"I wouldn't." Owen stated as he grabbed a stethoscope and began examining her abdomen,
"Mind your own business." Cristina hissed at him,
"Who is this guy?" Meredith questioned,
"It's the guy who did the pen thing." Cristina answered,
Meredith looked over at Camilla, "The hottie?"
Camilla rolled her eyes,"I'm begging you, for the love of all that is holy, stop bringing that up when he's in the room."
Cristina grabbed Camilla's arm, "Just get this thing out of me. I already screwed up in front of the chief once today. I messed up a suture and now he's looking at me like I'm number twelve." She ranted at Meredith cut her shirt,
Camilla squeezed her hand and smiled, "Cristina Yang, you will never be a number twelve. The universe forbids it."
Cristina gave her a small smile, "Thank you. And please, don't let anyone see me like this."
The brunette opened up her mouth to speak but was interrupted by the door opening and the Chief walking in, "Yang..." He paused when he saw the icicle protruding from her skin, "What the hell happened?"
"It's actually kinda a funny story." Camilla stated,
"I don't want to hear it." Webber interrupted, "Get her on a monitor and order a portable chest."
"Already done."
"Did you check her respiratory-"
"I did." Cristina stated, "See?" She took in a deep breath, "Breath sounds clear and equal."
"You be quiet." The Chief turned towards Camilla, "Nieves, what would you advise as a course of treatment?"
"I think we should leave it in until we get the X-ray and CT back." Camilla responded,
"What about infection? This thing is definitely melting dirty roof water into her body." Meredith stated,
"Which is why we should pull it out." Cristina commented,
"Leave it right where it is." Owen ordered, "You get stabbed in the chest and you're lucky enough to still be breathing, you leave the knife in, at least until you figure out what's going on inside. Leave it in."
"I'd listen to Mr. Jabby." Camilla whispered in Cristina's direction.
"I still say take it out."
"Leave it in. And in the meantime, since you know so much, you can teach your interns how to treat you. This is an opportunity to get back to the basics." Chief Webber stated,
"But I need to check on Vincent Kenner." Cristina argued,
"Grey, Kenner is your responsibility now, but bear in mind, he is my patient." Webber told her, "And I'm not about to lose another trauma case today. Keep that man alive." He then pointed at the redhead, "Can I get a word with you, Dr. Hunt?"
"Wait, what am I supposed to do?" Camilla asked,
"Make sure Yang here doesn't rip out the icicle." He responded as he left the room with Major Hunt.
Soon the interns came in with the monitor and portable chest x-ray. They put a gown over the top of her chest, leaving the rest since there was an icicle in the way.
Camilla sat in the corner with a smirk, watching as Cristina attempted to teach the interns how to use the x-ray.
"Is this positioned right?" One of Yang's interns asked,
"If I'm getting a mammogram." She responded sarcastically, "Lower, to the right. Two, what are you doing?"
He dropped the cloth, "Draping, so your parts are safe." He answered,
"Get away from my parts." Cristina pushed him away, "Gentle!" She cried out as the other intern slid the metal slab underneath her,
Camilla snickered and Cristina glanced over at her, "Please take my films, my interns are idiots."
Dr. Nieves stood from her seat and walked over to the other side of Cristina and repositioned the x-ray, "Watch and learn." She smiled at the interns before glancing down to Cristina, "Now hold still."
"I am. Just shoot it." She groaned,
"Did you say what you said to Meredith because you're mad or because you think you're right?" Camilla asked,
"You can't ask me that because I'm impaled!" Cristina cried,
"It means you can't run away." Camilla smiled, "Plus it was like instant karma."
"Look, I was angry. She talks about it all the time!"
"You need to apologise to her." Camilla said, "She's happy, don't crap on her happiness. She's been through a lot of shit."
"We all have!" Cristina replied,
"Yeah, but her more than the rest of us." They heard the click of a phone camera and they both looked over to see Cristina's interns taking photos of her on the table with an icicle in her chest.
"Oh, it just keeps on coming." She groaned,
"It's the universe tell you that you were mean."
