Summary
“I’m going to end up like them, with my life revolving around this job,” she says. “Coming in early and leaving late, sleeping with my phone waiting to get called in even on days off.”
“She needs to get laid.”
He raises his hands as Mel frowns at him, eyebrows furrowing behind her glasses.
“What? I think he needs to get laid too.”
“She needs to be made love to.”
And then, like her voice is working faster than her brain, Mel says, “We should just lock them in a room so they can have sex with each other.”
Frank laughs at the absurdity of residents trying to get their attendings to hook up, but it’s like a lightbulb goes off for her.
“Why didn’t I think of this sooner? We should set them up.”

"Mel likes to think that she’s got her head on straight.
She’s been planning commutes and balancing budgets and organizing home aides since she was twenty. If Mel wants something, she makes it happen. Or convinces herself that she doesn’t need it. But there’s one thing, one golden exception to her system, that Mel can’t help dreaming about.
She wants a washing machine."

Summary
"Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."
“Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”
or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.

Summary
"Oh my God," Mel breathes, turning to look at Frank. "That's a baby."
A weird, blob-like shape resembling a baby that will be a baby, at least. Their baby.
"Wow," he says from where he stands at her shoulder, but his voice is thick, and she looks up to find his eyes wet, glistening against the light from the screen. "Holy shit, Mel, that's our baby."
Mel grapples with her impending motherhood amidst caring for her sister, a fellowship program, and missing her own mom. Frank is the support she needs.
