Summary
She was sort of a little bit thrilled by it, thrilled by his choosing her, thrilled by the STEMI timing, thrilled by the way the department worked so smoothly sometimes she felt like a cog in a machine.
And she liked to think she was a cog in a machine because it meant she was useful and purposeful and something needed or even wanted her there. She thought of Eleanor in The Haunting of Hill House, who said, placidly, she remembered because the word was so pleasing and so sad, “I’ve never been wanted anywhere.” She felt very much like Eleanor, haunted by ghosts, reaching out her hand in the darkness and waking up alone. And her intense wanting was a wound she was sure people could see, bleeding down her forehead, a primal warning sign to back away slowly so no one else would get hurt. What about me, she wanted to beg, what about my wound, but she knew that, too, was a childish fantasy. That it would be more work than anyone was willing to put in to get past the walls she put up in the form of busyness and delight and surface-level vulnerability so they couldn’t see the depth of her hurt and grief lurking inside.

Summary
“I’m going to be a mom,” Mel whispers, sounding awed. Samira looks at her and sees Mel’s wet smile. She laughs and reaches over to hug her friend.
“You’re going to be an amazing mom!” she laughs. “Oh my God, this is so exciting! Langdon's going to be so happy, I just know it!”
Mel’s eyes go wide again.
“Oh God, we’re going to have to actually tell everyone we’re together now!”
Or: Mel's pregnancy through the eyes of her (sometimes incredibly oblivious) coworkers.

Summary
This was never how she pictured this going.
She thought she’d be married, or at least in a long term relationship.
Mel King never imagined finding out she was pregnant in the hospital bathroom after hooking up with a coworker two months ago.
Or, whoopsie baby.

Summary
In Filipino/Mexican cultures, food is a love language and even though everyone thinks their relationship is just casual, the ED's food envy is eventually what reveals just how serious Garcia and Santos are.
