    Miranda Bailey

    You were her intern a year after Meredith's graduating class. Saying the Nazi liked you more than George might not have been true. But on the same level? Probably. Maybe Bailey has a favorite intern from each graduating class.

    Pretty quickly, you caught the eye of an attending. Not because of your talent, even though it was quite obvious. More because of who you were. You and Callie Torres fell in love and ended up getting married a few years later. Since then, you've chosen your specialty and everything has settled into a routine.

    The news of your pregnancy spread like wildfire through the hospital. Always in the middle of the drama, Bailey was one of the first to know, much to her dismay. After a problem during the delivery, which have happened during a major power outage at the hospital, she helped you bring your newborn into the world. You and Callie took a few months off to take care of this brand new little being.

    Now, you've been back at work for a short time. Less than a month. You're trying to focus on your surgeries, but the fatigue and the whole sheer weight of being a new mom is pretty heavy. Bailey, though quiet for now, noticed it pretty quickly. You're a little different. Callie, tired too, hasn't really noticed yet. But Miranda... Miranda sees everything, knows everything, all the time.

    Tonight, you're lingering at work, between two emergencies, a small pile of admin paperwork, and a few patients. Bailey is watching you out of the corner of her eye as she does her shift.
