I go into Denny's room and start checking his vitals. He's sleeping as I write them down in his folder. I get startled when I hear a low deep voice

"Hi" he says as he opens his eyes

"Oh Denny" I laugh "I thought you were asleep"

"Yeah I don't sleep at hospitals. Scared I'll never wake up" He replies

I grab my stethoscope and listen to his heart and lungs while Denny stares at me with his dark brown eyes.

"Can I ask you something personal" he asks

"Hm, and if I say no?" I reply back

"I'll hold my breath, which would stop my heart, killing me. Your right here, you'll be charged with murder, lifetime in prison and fall in love with a big girl named Hildy" He says

"Oh I see, so my choices are homicide charges or inappropriate personal questions from a patient" I say back

"I know, kinda sucks" he says

"You know what, hold your breath. I'll take my chances with Hildy. I can do girl-on-girl" I laugh

"Oh so your bringing up girl-on-girl huh. Well how can I blackmail you when you bring up girl-on-girl" he laughs back with me

"what do you wanna know" I ask

He thinks about it "Are you dating anyone?"

I stared at him with the same expression for a few seconds trying to process what he just asked me. Why would he want to know that?

"Oh, no actually. I'm not" I say awkwardly trying to find my way out of this conversation with my patient.

"Good." He says and his voice sends shivers to my spine

"Good?" I ask back

"Yeah, Good. That means I don't have to fight anyone for you" he says answering my question

"Oh what makes you think I want you to fight for me" I say caught off guard but laughing with him

"Hello? You are in love with me" He says jokingly

"Oh am I?" I reply

"Yeah it's not your fault. I'm well off but I'm not into money. I'm smart but not a know-it-all. I'm funny. I'm really nice. I love animals and I'm hot. I'm a catch. You know if you can wrap your head around the enlarged failing heart and the dependency to IV meds." He says and I smile at him back

"You're right. I'm SO in love with you. It's a shame really since I'm with Hildy and all" I laugh as I leave the room"

I get a beep from my pager and head down to the Trauma Room. I scrub in and head outside to meet with the others.

"Hey guys, any news?" I say as I help tie Alex's scrub and he helps tie mine in return

"We have a load of people coming. Apparently from a plane crash." Meredith says

"Sweet" Christina says and we all stare at her "What, it's been a slow day today and I need to do a surgery or I'm going to lose my mind"

"Hey that reminds me" George says "How's your case that Dr. Bailey gave you Kat?"

The rest of them turn their heads at me and ask me as well.

"Well my patient was admitted for a heart transplant necessitated by a vital cardiomyopathy. We'll be doing his surgery soon this week"

The moment I said that I saw Christina's jaw drop. like really dropped.

"WAIT WHAT. YOUR GETTING ANOTHER SURGERY?! AND A CARDIO ONE? KATHERINE PLEASE CAN WE SWITCH. I'LL DO YOUR ROUNDS FOR A WEEK." Christina begged me

"Calm down Christina." I laugh

Just as I said that Dr. Bailey, Dr. Torres, and Dr burke came outside.

"Okay interns. We have lots of trauma coming in. We need to work fast. We have 8 ambulances on their way. Everyone will work on their own with the help of nurses." Dr Bailey says right on que.

The ambulances come and I quickly run and open the doors.

"Rowan Barlowe, age 54. Was seated in the front where the plane blew up. Has 3rd degree burns and the impact from the plane caused him to bang his head pretty badly."

We take Rowan through the ER and into Truma room 2. I treat his burns with the help of Mark Sloan. The head attending of plastic surgery.

"Okay, lets take him up to get an MRI scan"

We move him and take his scans. He hasn't woken up but that's normal. He has some internal bleeding on the left side of his brain but nothing serious then that. I paged Dr. Bailey and Dr. Shepard so I could book an OR.

"Nice work Dr Adeline. This would be your second surgery in your first shift here. As much as I know how talented you are, I would want to see some of my other interns. Choose one to scrub in with you." says Dr Bailey

"Yes, I will. Thank you so much" I say with a smile. But it quickly goes away when I have to pick who to scrub in with me. How could I choose?

I walk into Denny's room since I need to update his vitals. I see him tapping his finger impatiently and looking up at the roof. I smile when he sees me and he returns one back

"Hey Dr. Adeline" he smiles trying to hide his emotionless response

"Hey Denny, you okay?" I say looking at his vitals

"I've waited for this for a long time you know. Your gonna open up my chest, take out my heart, and replace it with another one" he says

I smile trying to reassure him "Well, not me. Dr burke will be operating on you. But its not just another heart, its a better heart"

he looks down and sighs. "what if something goes wrong"

He cant go into surgery thinking something is going to go wrong. I walk over to the side of his bed. "Dr Burke is an incredible surgeon and you're getting a new heart today. Just keep thinking about that " I tell him

He looks around and thinks but then answers me "okay.."

With that Dr burke entered the room

"Denny" He says

"Preston Burke, my favorite cardiothoracic surgeon" Denny says to Dr Burke

"Oh, Your only cardiothoracic surgeon but thanks" Dr Burke smiles "I'll be on the phone with Dr. Bailey as the organ recovery progresses. We'll make sure that the heart stays viable, and isn't damaged while the other organs aren't confused. We'll have you in the OR and if it is a go, we start the procedure before she even gets back" Dr burke explains

"Hey Adeline?" Denny says

I turn back to look at him "yeah?"

"I'm getting a new heart" He grins

"You're getting a new heart" I repeat what he says and smile
