Elevator Effect - Carina DeLuca

Y/N adjusted her jacket as the elevator doors slid open, revealing a nearly empty car save for one person leaning casually against the railing. The woman was stunning. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with curiosity as they landed on Y/N. She looked up from her phone and smiled, an expression that seemed almost too charming for its own good.

Y/N stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for her floor. Her first day at Grey Sloan Memorial had officially begun, and she decided to ease into it in her usual style: arriving in regular clothes before changing into her scrubs. She figured it would give her a chance to observe the environment without immediately standing out.

The silence in the elevator was brief.

"Buongiorno," the woman greeted, her voice as smooth as silk, laced with an Italian accent that could make anyone weak in the knees.

Y/N turned to her, quirking an eyebrow. "Good morning."

The woman tilted her head, her smile widening. "Not a doctor, I take it?" she asked, her gaze sweeping over Y/N’s outfit, a casual shirt, jeans, and sneakers. "Or are we experimenting with a new dress code?"

Y/N fought the urge to smirk. "Not a doctor," she said, technically not lying. Not yet, anyway.

The woman leaned in slightly, her curiosity evidently piqued. "Well, let me guess. A visitor? No, no, you seem too comfortable for that. Here for a meeting with the Chief?"

Y/N shrugged, letting her enjoy the guessing game. "Something like that."

Her companion chuckled, a sound that was somehow both mischievous and endearing. "I’m Carina, by the way. Carina DeLuca. And you are?"

"Y/N," she replied simply, keeping her tone neutral.

"Y/N…" Carina repeated, savoring the name. She studied Y/N with a smoldering gaze that could rival a summer heatwave. "Let me give you a warning, Y/N. If you wander into Grey Sloan looking like that, some people might forget how to do their jobs."

Y/N raised her eyebrows, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "Oh, really?"

"Oh, sì," Carina said, taking a step closer. Her voice dropped lower, more intimate. "You’re… bellissima. Stunning. I’m already distracted, and I’ve only known you for two minutes."

Y/N’s lips twitched. "Is this how you greet everyone in the elevator?"

"Only the ones who make me want to press the emergency stop button," Carina teased, her eyes sparkling.

Y/N decided to play along. "That bold, huh?"

Carina smiled, her voice dripping with charm. "Life is too short for hesitation. Don’t you agree?"

The elevator dinged, signaling their arrival at the appropriate floor. Carina looked as though she had more to say, but Y/N stepped out first, giving her a knowing glance over her shoulder. "See you around, Carina."

Later that morning, Y/N stood beside Dr. Bailey in the conference room as a group of doctors filtered in. She had already changed into her scrubs, the name embroidered on her coat marking her position as the new attending in OB/GYN.

Carina walked in last, her gaze scanning the room before landing on Y/N. For a moment, her expression faltered, a flash of recognition lighting her face. Y/N offered her a subtle, knowing smile.

"Everyone, this is Dr. Y/N Y/L/N," Bailey announced. "She’s our new OB/GYN attending, joining us from Chicago. I expect you all to make her feel welcome."

Carina’s jaw dropped slightly, and her cheeks flushed. "You're… a doctor?" she asked Y/N after her short introduction was over, disbelief clear in her voice.

Y/N turned to her, feigning innocence. "Oh, I did forget to mention that earlier."

Carina blinked, clearly scrambling to recover. "You are very sneaky, Dr. Y/L/N."

Y/N leaned in just slightly, her voice quiet enough that only Carina could hear. "Life is too short for hesitation, right?"

Carina exhaled a laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. "Touché."

Throughout the rest of the meeting, Carina found herself stealing glances at Y/N, clearly intrigued. Afterward, she caught up to her in the hallway.

"Non posso credere che non me l'hai detto."

Y/N tilted her head, pretending to be clueless. "I don’t speak Italian."

Carina smirked, leaning closer. "Then I guess I’ll have to teach you. Maybe over dinner?"

Y/N smirked. "I will think about your offer."

And with that, she left the Italian alone in her own disbelief.

The day was only halfway through, and Carina was already proving to be delightfully persistent. After their hallway banter, Y/N had managed to slip away to her office, but it wasn’t long before she encountered Carina again during a consult.

The patient had been referred to Y/N for a prenatal concern, and Carina, as the head of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine department, had been called in as well. Y/N was standing at the patient’s bedside when Carina walked in, clipboard in hand and a sly smile already forming on her lips.

“Dr. Y/L/N,” Carina greeted, her tone professional but her eyes sparkling with mischief. “How lovely to see you again. Twice in one day. I must be lucky.”

Y/N didn’t miss a beat. “You could say the same about me. I get to work with Seattle’s finest.”

Carina tilted her head, a mock expression of thoughtfulness crossing her face. “Seattle’s finest? Are you referring to me, or have you been meeting other doctors behind my back already?”

Y/N smirked, not giving Carina the satisfaction of an answer. She turned her attention to the patient instead, maintaining her composure while Carina lingered just a little closer than necessary.

Later, during lunch in the hospital cafeteria, Y/N found herself seated alone, flipping through a stack of files. She was mid-bite when Carina appeared out of nowhere, sliding into the seat across from her with a tray of her own.

“Working through lunch?” Carina asked, her voice warm as she unwrapped a sandwich. “I hope that doesn’t mean you’re too busy for me.”

Y/N set her file down, arching an eyebrow. “Depends. What’s the occasion?”

Carina grinned, leaning forward. “I figured I’d take the opportunity to learn more about the mysterious new attending. It’s only fair, considering how much you’ve kept me in the dark today.”

“Oh?” Y/N replied, feigning nonchalance. “What do you want to know?”

“Everything,” Carina said, her voice dropping into a flirtatious purr. “What brought you to Grey Sloan? How do you like your coffee? What’s your favorite color? And most importantly, how do you feel about Italian food?”

Y/N couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s quite the list.”

“Start with the last one,” Carina said, her eyes narrowing playfully. “Because if you don’t like Italian food, I may have to rethink my strategy.”

“Your strategy?” Y/N echoed, clearly amused.

Carina gestured between them. “This. Us. Getting to know each other. Winning you over.”

Y/N leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms as she studied Carina. “You’re pretty confident, aren’t you?”

“Sì,” Carina admitted shamelessly. “But only because I know when something is worth the effort.”

Y/N’s cheeks warmed slightly at the intensity of Carina’s gaze. “For the record, I love Italian food,” she said. “But if you want to win me over, you’ll have to try harder than a lunch table interrogation and mentioning pasta and pizza.”

Carina rolled her eyes but she was most definitely up for the challenge. “Oh, don’t worry, cara mia. I plan to.”

By mid-afternoon, Carina was proving to be as good as her word. Y/N found herself in the supply closet, searching for a specific set of surgical tools, when Carina appeared in the doorway.

“Are you following me?” Y/N asked, glancing over her shoulder.

“Not intentionally,” Carina replied, stepping inside as though she owned the place. “But I’m starting to think fate might be pushing us together.”

Y/N shook her head, biting back a smile. “This is the supply closet, Carina. Hardly romantic.”

Carina stepped closer, her voice dropping to a low murmur. “You’d be surprised how creative I can be.”

Y/N turned to face her, holding a tray of instruments as a makeshift barrier. “Is this how you woo all the doctors?”

“Not doctors. Not plural. Only you. You wear scrubs better than I do, I have to try my luck.” Carina said, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Y/N chuckled, brushing past her to exit the closet. As she walked away, she glanced back over her shoulder. “You’ll have to try harder than that, Dr. DeLuca.”

Carina called after her. “La prossima volta ti sorprenderò.”

Y/N didn’t understand the words, but she understood the promise in Carina’s tone and she couldn’t wait to see how far the Italian doctor would take this game.

Hey! Idk if u write headcanons... If so could you do one for Andrew DeLuca?

Since you've already written two fics about him and your writing is really good, I thought to a dating headcanons if u don't mind!

Tyy sm, I just need it, I miss him :(

Dating Andrew DeLuca Would Include . . .

Andrew is your biggest cheerleader (and you’re his)

He sits in on as many of your surgeries as he can

And he’s always there for you if something goes wrong or you lose a patient

I imagine he gives the best bear hugs, just wrapping you in his arms and being the big spoon

He’s a good shoulder to cry on and won’t pressure you or anything. He’ll just listen and comfort you as best he can

He definitely whispers sweet, soothing words like “I love you” in Italian to calm you down

Andrew also has a habit of sweeping you off your feet whenever he can

He loves to hear you surprised sequel mixed with a laugh and how you cling onto him

Carina also absolutely adores you

She gives you the classic big sister “You hurt him, I hurt you” talk but she also pulls Andrew aside to tell him not to ever mistreat you

Don’t worry tho, because he’s the best teddy bear there is. He practically melts around you

You’re the best supporter for Andrew in dealing with his father and helping him with his mental health

You’re always there for him and he’s always there for you

He plays guitar, so he definitely serenades you with songs

And writes songs for you

He proposed to you with a song!

He’d take you anywhere you’d want to go and you’d probably want to go to Italy to visit his family home

Andrew’s the type of guy to always insist that he pays for dinner

And he’s your biggest protector

Someone even dares to look at you the wrong way? He’s on them

He will get into fights for you, just say the word

Andrew’s also the best cuddler

After a long day, he’ll wrap his arms around you and pull you into his lap and everything will feel right again

He wraps you in the best fluffy blankets too

He’s also always doing small romantic gestures such as getting you flowers or chocolates

And he writes the most loving, sincere cards

That man is like a poet

Andrew’s just so incredibly sweet

He can never be mad at you, you’re too cute

Hello! I hope you're well. Sorry if I bother you. I was wondering if you write fics. Maybe a Merluca fic? If it's within your means or if you know someone who can do it... I have this alternate universe idea where Meredith and Deluca met at the same time Addison arrived at Seattle Grace. It's just that they are a lot alike and no one talks about that enough. Andrew is as reckless and cunning as Meredith before she became that indestructible woman who went through a lot of loss and pain. The Meredith before being a wife, mother and widow, the Meredith who loves tequila and loves passion. They would both be a comical and chaotic duo and I'm just very curious. I send you my best wishes

❛ 𝑹𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒏 ❜

𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: Meredith × Andrew ♡ (AU)

𝘼/𝙣: first time writing for a ship and glad i could do it with them! Thank you so much for this request as I really liked writing it, and also for your patience omg!! :) I feel like I could've written an amount of chapters to build this story cause I absolutely share the same idea, but I tried to reassume it all in this fic and I really hope you'll like it anon <3

“The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life” Meredith knew that well, her only goal was excel in all that would determine her future career, she was ready for everything. Well, almost everything.

This last period had just been an absurd sequence of events that only affected her personal life, making also the working atmosphere impossible. It wasn't about her internship group. Actually she got along really well with them. It was an endless competition but also teamwork and support at the same time.

She was probably better at making crucial decisions about other people's lives than choosing what was better for her own. Now she would leave everything behind and move on. She thought it was the best thing, especially after Addison Montgomery came along. She promised herself that she would never again indulge in anything more than a professional working relationship with one of her colleagues, even less one of her bosses.

However, Addison wasn't the only new presence at the hospital. Andrew DeLuca, that was his name. He was just an intern like her even though he didn't act like one. The way he was so confident in anything he did almost annoyed her. He wasn't the kind of person that showed all his feelings, he seemed to be ok on his own and if it was needed a risk, no matter if a little or a big one, he just threw himself into that. Sometimes he reminded her of herself. That's why she didn't know how to feel about it.

Somehow it was pretty easy to have a conversation with him. The 'Grey' in her name was always such a good excuse for a starter, she would've expected the usual envy and contempt that was often offered by the others. Instead with him it was different. Andrew's father was a a well-known and quite famous surgeon in Italy, he was not Ellis Grey, yet the fame and all the pressure could be felt. Seemed like his future career was already written as well. But both Meredith and Andrew had worked their hardest to arrive where they are now, with only a main goal inside: never become like their parents.

Their duo always managed to take a different turn and adapt to the situation. While working Andrew's cocky and intuitive side contrasted against Meredith's reflective side; whenever they just were together in the group it was impossible to stop them, her dark and twisty trait with his sarcastic side made an unstoppable match. In short, either you loved them or couldn't stand them.

And it was later when the best part came. A bit of tension had built up between them, which was quite pleasant. Andrew had been the first one to fail to keep his eyes off her and couldn't stop the occasional flirting sometimes. Meredith had obviously noticed, and she couldn't hide the fact that it amused her. She liked to tease him back and not letting him win so easily, but he was very stubborn and he wouldn't have given up. What was stopping her though? Actually she found him really charming, handsome and there were many traits of his personalities that made him even more attractive. He knew what he wanted and apparently how to get it, but the most important thing was that he understood her, he really did. So yeah, she did like him, a lot. The only problem was her. She didn't want to fuck everything up or worse fall for what she had already faced.

It could be said that she gave him a hard time for quite a while and that the only thing he could do was offering her evenings where she could just forget everything with some simple tequila. They were the best parts of the days; either they all went together as soon as they had free time or it was just the two of them. And that's how it all began. One night when they had drunk so much that they had forgotten even their own names, Meredith had given in. A long night that brought about the most significant change, and she couldn't say she regretted it at all. Ever since Andrew had finally managed to get what he wanted, he had never stopped respecting her and treating her as she deserved. With that, Meredith had also discovered his soft and loving side, maybe her favorite part of him. It was difficult to choose actually, she slowly fell in love with every little thing about him, unlike Andrew who had already loved everything about her from the beginning.

From the perspective of others, in addition to being the same chaotic duo as always, they had also become pretty nauseating. But nauseating in a cute way. When they needed support they were always there for each other. Everytime that she was with him, that his lips were on hers, that his arms were around her, that he was holding her, she felt nothing but safe. The way they also tried to be professional at work was almost hilarious, They didn't even bother to hold back or hide and most of the time they ended up hooking up in an on call room.

Things really seemed to be working out. They both were happy. Meredith couldn't ask for something better, the relationship she had with Andrew was one of the most precious ones in her whole life. With him she was completely reborn.

THE ERAS TOUR

pairing: carina deluca x maya bishop x daughter!reader

summary: your moms gave you the best birthday gift ever.

a/n: long time without writing for those two so here it is my contribution for this month lol

word count: 1k

warnings: nothing, just fluff.

You didn’t think much about your birthday at first.

Life had been busy—school, soccer practice, family movie nights. But as the days slipped by and the calendar crept closer to your special day, the topic of gifts started coming up more and more.

“You need to tell us what you want,” Carina’s voice floats through the kitchen one evening as she stirs a pot of pasta. Maya sits across from her, half-watching a soccer game on her phone.

“I don’t know yet,” you admit, popping a grape into your mouth and leaning against the counter. “I can’t think of anything.”

Maya glances at you with a smirk. “You say that every year until the week before. Then suddenly, you want a puppy or something impossible to find in Seattle.”

You roll your eyes, grinning. “I do not.”

Carina hums knowingly. “Oh, you do.”

\*/

It isn’t until a few days later that everything changes.

You’re lying on your bed, half-listening to music while scrolling through your phone. Then, like fate, a notification pops up.

Taylor Swift announces The Eras Tour.

Your heart stops.

You shoot up instantly, eyes scanning the announcement in disbelief. It’s real. The tour is happening—and Seattle is on the list.

Suddenly, you know exactly what you want.

You wait until dinner.

Maya and Carina sit across from you at the table, the usual warmth of home settling around you like a cozy blanket. The smell of lasagna lingers in the air, and soft music plays faintly from the living room.

“Okay, I know what I want for my birthday,” you announce, setting your fork down with dramatic flair.

Maya arches a brow. “Already?”

Carina exchanges a glance with her. “Let’s hear it.”

You take a breath. “I want to go to The Eras Tour.”

Silence.

Maya blinks. “The Taylor Swift concert?”

“Yes.”

Carina’s lips twitch into a small smile, but Maya leans back, crossing her arms.

“I heard those tickets are crazy expensive,” Maya says, and Carina nods in agreement.

“I know, but—”

“And getting them isn’t easy. People fight over those things like it’s Black Friday at the mall.”

You stare at them, heart sinking. “So… does that mean no?”

Carina reaches across the table to squeeze your hand, her eyes softening. “We’ll see what we can do. But don’t get your hopes up too high, amore. It’s not easy to get tickets.”

You try to hide the disappointment in your face. “Okay.”

Maya smiles sympathetically. “Hey, it’s not a no. Just… leave it with us.”

You nod, but deep down, you’re not convinced.

\*/

Your birthday rolls around faster than you expect.

When you wake up that morning, sunlight streams through your curtains, and the faint sound of Carina humming in the kitchen makes you smile.

The house is decorated with balloons and streamers, and a small pile of gifts sits waiting on the table.

Maya grins as she hands you a box. “Happy birthday, kid.”

“Grazie,” you say, opening one gift after another. Clothes, books, sneakers—all things you’d casually mentioned but nothing resembling concert tickets.

It isn’t until Carina hands you a small envelope that your heart begins to race.

“What’s this?” you ask, eyeing it suspiciously.

Carina shrugs. “Open it.”

You slide your finger under the seal and pull out two slim tickets printed with shimmering letters.

Taylor Swift. The Eras Tour.

You gasp, staring at them in disbelief.

“Wait… these are real?”

Maya laughs. “We told you not to get your hopes up. But we never said no.”

Tears prick at your eyes as you jump to your feet, wrapping them both in a tight hug. “You guys are the best.”

“Of course we are,” Maya teases. “But we’re not going alone.”

Carina smirks. “We invited Amelia, Meredith, Andy, and Zola. It’s going to be a girls’ night out.”

You can’t stop smiling.

\*/

The stadium buzzes with excitement. Fans in glittering outfits line the streets, holding signs and singing at the top of their lungs.

Amelia and Meredith lead the way, Zola walking beside you in matching friendship bracelets you made for the night.

Carina and Maya trail close behind, Maya already grumbling about the noise level.

“I swear, if someone spills something on me…” Maya mutters as you all find your seats.

“You’ll survive,” Carina teases, linking her arm with Maya’s.

When the lights dim and the opening notes of Lover echo through the stadium, the crowd erupts into cheers.

You scream along with them, gripping Zola’s hand as Taylor Swift appears on stage in a dazzling pink outfit.

“She’s incredible,” Zola whispers.

“I know,” you breathe, overwhelmed by the energy around you.

At one point during the concert, you feel someone tap your shoulder. A girl around your age smiles at you.

“Hey, I love your outfit,” she says, gesturing to your Taylor-themed sweater. “It’s really cute.”

“Thanks!” you beam.

She leans in slightly, her voice barely audible over the music. “You have really pretty eyes, by the way.”

Before you can respond, Maya—who’s been standing right next to you—narrows her eyes.

“Alright,” Maya says loudly, slinging an arm around your shoulders. “That’s enough socializing.”

Carina laughs beside her. “Maya…”

The girl raises her hands in surrender, giggling as she backs away.

“What was that?” you tease.

“I’m just keeping an eye out,” Maya grumbles.

Carina kisses her cheek, clearly amused. “Relax, she was just being friendly.”

Maya mutters something under her breath, eyes never leaving the girl until she disappears into the crowd.

By the end of the concert, your voice is hoarse from singing, and your feet ache from dancing.

As you all walk back to the car, Amelia grins. “I haven’t had that much fun in ages.”

Meredith glances at Zola. “And you?”

Zola nods, holding tightly to the souvenir t-shirt you bought her. “Best night ever.”

Maya, still slightly grumpy, leans down to whisper in your ear. “Next time, I’m sitting between you and the flirty strangers.”

You laugh, hugging her tightly.

“Deal.”

Age Rating: 12+

Chapters: One of One

Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy

Ship: Alex Karev x Jo Karev/Jo Wilson featuring Andrew DeLuca x Amber Karev (Alex Karev’s Sister), Maya Bishop x Carina DeLuca.

Canon Episode: Season 18 Episode 8

AN: Merry Christmas! Here’s an all star chapter featuring all of your favorite ships celebrating the holidays. Enjoy and Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Summary: Alex Karev and Jo celebrate their daughter Luna’s first Christmas with their family and friends.

Words: 1864

December 25th, 2021

Jo finishes the last gift with a lavish curl against the dull side of her scissors. She exhales in joy at finishing wrapping the gifts for their family and friends who are on their way here to celebrate Christmas together.

For Jo it’s exciting to finally have a big group to celebrate this season of giving and stressful trying to find gifts for her chosen family members. Nevertheless, she smiles at her one-year-old daughter Luna who is watching her wrap gifts while she plays with her toy on the playmat.

“All done!” Jo puts the red gift under her armpit and Luna against her hip who grins happily as she’s being carried to the medium sized Christmas tree Alex helped pick while Jo decorated. Jo puts the small box on top of the pile of wrapped gifts she also prepared, “Can mommy plan the perfect first Christmas for you or what?”

“Don’t mention me I just helped picked out the tree.” Alex says sarcastically amused as he approaches his wife who grins at him, “And pick out the presents. And the games the kids would play. I mean I hardly did anything.”

“And this Luna used to be your daddy but on Christmas he is what we call a Grinch.” Jo tells her blonde daughter who reaches over for her dad with waving chubby arms melting the parent’s hearts.

Alex chuckles taking the baby from Jo, “One sight of you Little Moon makes my heart grow three sizes. It’s your first actual Christmas with us, are you excited? You get to spend time with your family, eat sweets, open presents, doesn’t that sound exciting?” Luna grins a wide nearly toothless smile causing Alex to kiss her cheek before the doorbell rings.

Jo gasps with a wide smile, “Who is at the door?”

Jo quickly walks to the door opening the door to find Meredith Grey on the other side with her kids, Zola, Bailey and Ellis in tow.

“Merry Christmas!” The Grey-Shepherd’s yell out together causing Jo to chuckle opening the door wide letting them in.

“Merry Christmas! You kids are just in time for Christmas bingo!” Bailey and Ellis yay rushing towards the table that is laid out with printable Christmas bingo cards with a deck of cards at the head of the table for the adult who is in charge, “Winner gets the first taste of Uncle Alex’s gingerbread cookies!”

Alex smiles at the kids smiling and getting ready to play, he sits at the head of the table shuffling the cards, “Okay guys rules of the game are I call out the picture on the cards, you mark it. You mark the pictures until you get four stamps up and down, right and left or across. First one to get one of those yells bingo and they win the first round.”

“We know how to play bingo Uncle Alex.” Zola points out with a grin, “Our teachers played them with us before break.”

“Yeah but there weren’t delicious cookies at stake.” Alex states with seriousness and a grin before pulling out the first card, “Okay first one is ugly Christmas sweater.”

Jo and Meredith watch the kids play the game with Alex using a funny voice every time he announces the card. Jo smiles at her husband who puts up a tough front with everyone except her and the kids. Luna is his sidekick on the highchair next to him grinning at the view of the table.

Jo looks at her family with so much love and tenderness, knowing how hard this last year has been for all three of them. Alex and Jo faced obstacles in their work and private life from the covid virus, burnout and Luna needing to stay at the NICU for her health problems. Despite the turmoil of 2020 Jo wouldn’t change it if it meant this moment right here and now was not happening.

Meredith grins as well proud of how far Alex has come from the arrogant, entitled man child into this kind and fun-loving father who welcomes people into his home with open arms. She is not only thankful to have him in her life but to also be a part of his life where their kids can hang out and be friends while she talks with him and his wife who is right next to her.

“He was so good with kids before he had one of his own.” Jo states with affection, “Now he’s even better which I did not think was possible.”

“If you had told me 18 years ago that the horny, sweaty intern who invaded my personal space and practically dry humped me would be my best friend and the best uncle to my kids I would think you were using dark humor.” Meredith chuckles nostalgic as another memory comes to her, “I used to think of him as dirty Uncle Sal.”

Jo narrows her eyes confused at her friend with an amused grin before asking, “What?”

“Dirty Uncle Sal.” Meredith repeats before elaborating, “You know the one who embarrasses you at family reunions and can’t be left alone with the teenage girls, but you invite him to the picnic anyway.”

Jo chuckles at that description, “You know a part of me is glad I didn’t know him back when his attitude earned him that horrifying title.”

“Back then I had a mother with dementia so I took what I could get with a chosen family.” Meredith explains before turning back to Alex who kisses the top of Luna’s head before calling out the next picture, “But now I wouldn’t choose anyone else to be in my life and my kids.”

“Same.” Jo shares with a grin before looking at Luna who is on her dad’s lap being held by her dad while he holds up the cards with his other hand, “Luna is lucky to have Auntie Meredith who has a lot of stories about her daddy that she’s not gonna hear until she leaves for college.”

“Make it till med school.” Meredith warns the new mom, “Trust me you’ll thank me for that. Christmas with you guys and our kids is gonna be a tradition from now on. I don’t care if I’m in Minnesota or Germany we are gonna do this every year no matter what. I know the kids would love it and so would I.”

“Me too.” Jo agrees surprised at how far her and Meredith’s friendship has come over the last decade. She looks at Luna in Alex’s arm as she holds up a candy cane in observation, “I want to give my little girl the childhood I never had, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween heck even Groundhog Day. I want to give her a family to celebrate with, blood or not.”

Just then the doorbell rings causing Jo to grin as she can guess who is already here, “And here comes the blood, excuse me.”

Jo opens the door and as she expected her sister-in-law, Amber DeLuca nee Karev and her husband Andrew DeLuca are here with gifts in their arms. Behind them is Andrew’s sister Carina and her wife Maya Bishop who are holding food trays.

“Merry Christmas.” Amber greets before coming in exhaling in relief at the warmth from the cold weather along with the others, “I hope you don’t mind but we brought Maya and Carina with us.”

“Oh no please come in the more the merrier.” Jo motions for the women to enter the house, “Merry Christmas you guys, how are the holidays at the station?”

The family enter the living room where Amber and Andrew greet Alex and the kids. Amber gasps at the bingo, joining them with her husband standing over her and observing.

Maya smiles at the sight of a family gathering she has been deprived of most of her life before answering Jo’s question, “We wrapped gifts for the kids, Pru got to spend the night with Ben and Bailey and Carina and I made our official announcement.”

Jo looks curious as Carina explains with a smile, “We’re gonna start trying to have a baby.”

“What?!” Jo exclaims in joy, “Oh my god congratulations you two!”

Alex claps happy for them as well, “All right! I recommend adopting if that’s on the table. And just to put it out there, Alex is a great name for a boy or a girl.”

“And Jo.” His wife puts out there as well, feeling giddy at the idea of another baby in their family tree.

Maya chuckles at this display finding it sweet her baby will have many uncles and aunts who will compete for baby time, “We will take both into consideration but for right now my wife and I are just gonna enjoy the holidays before taking a deep dive into the world of baby making.”

Carina wraps her arms around Maya’s torso pulling her towards her chest, “But hopefully sometime next year there’s gonna be another chubby cheeked baby to join us for the holiday parties with our extensive family.”

Jo claps at that with a wide smile, “I know I’m not technically related to either of you, but I claim favorite auntie status.”

“Over your husband’s dead body.”, Amber looks at her offended by that statement as the actual sister-in-law of the DeLuca-Bishop’s.

Andrew chuckles at her competitive spirit kissing the top of her head, “One thing is for sure I am definitely gonna be the favorite Zio, that’s uncle in Italian and I will be the best one.”

Alex chuckles shuffling the cards, “Yeah keep telling yourself that bro.”

Amber narrows her eyes at her brother, “You already have like three nieces and nephews who think the sun shines out your-”

“Read the table!” Alex warns stopping Amber from cursing in front of the kids.

Zola rolls her eyes a feeling like she is already grown up, “I’m 11 Uncle Alex, I know the word ass.”

Meredith widens her eyes horrified, “And how do you know that word?”

“Melissa and I binge watch Stranger Things over at her house all the time.” Zola explains causing Alex to snort at this funny obstacle of his friends.

“Remind me to call her parents and inform them of child locks.” Meredith tells Zola who shrugs turning back to the game.

“It’s fine Mer.” Alex comforts her, “My siblings and I cursed like sailors when we were younger than her and we turned out okay.”

Meredith glares at him causing him to realize how that sounded, “Relatively speaking. Okay kids Christmas Tree.”

“Bingo!” Bailey declares causing his sisters to groan as he holds up the proof on his bingo card, “Now can I have a cookie?”

Alex chuckles at his eagerness pulling out the holiday tin box that has the cookies before handing one to Bailey, “Go nuts kid.”

Bailey chomps on the cookie causing his mom to smile at her family before joining them on the dining table along with DeLuca, Carina, Maya and Jo who lifts Luna from Alex’s lap and hold her in her arms. Jo sits next to Alex kissing him on the cheek before joining him in hosting their Christmas family gathering.

YET ANOTHER long and obnoxious stream of my thoughts while watching grey’s anatomy for the first time (season FIFTEEN, bc i’m actually not sick of these yet)

-i don’t like this whole “she’s not really your sister” thing. like, it’s played for comedic effect and teddy is clearly just hormonal and panicking so whatever but i don’t like that.

-i don’t want to rehash owen x amelia. yawn. nor do i want to rehash owen x teddy. yawner.

-i like that we’re getting a *little* deeper into helms crush on meredith and that it’s not just comic relief

-why are there no doctors above the age of 45 in this entire hospital besides richard? they’re all so pretty, but at what cost?

-something is going to happen to this pregnant nurse… there’s a lot of focus on her out of the blue

-i love that almost this entire intern class is at least mildly gay

-bailey is pissing me off

-ted mosby!!! he looks a little slovenly for a date tbh. not to sound judgmental but like, she’s all dressed up and he isn’t.

-this guy is way chiller than ted mosby. i like this for her. i hope it doesn’t turn out really bad but i know it probably will

-is it worth it to watch station 19?? i kind of don’t want to tbh

-i forgot teddy was in new york until her friend passed in 9/11. i’m imagining an au in which teddy and addison knew each other in NYC in the 90s bc i think they should’ve interacted more

-the undiagnosable stomach issue is so clearly this patient’s suspicious heirloom lunch pail. like, duh.

-okay well i was wrong about that and now i’m embarrassed that i predicted that with such smug sureness and authority.

-playing “chasing cars” in spanish for the día de los muertos episode is an interesting choice. i think i like it??

-nurse debbie!!!! it’s been a while

-okay nvm that is NOT nurse debbie. they just have the same bangs

-everyone gets to have a tumor on this show. YOU get a tumor! YOU get a tumor!! and YOU get a tumor!!!

-richard no :(

-RICHARD, NO >:(

-as much as i hate the owen/amelia dynamic, i really LOVE this whole amelia and betty thing

-i DO NOT like meredith/deluca

-the only relationship that doesn’t completely bore or frustrate me right now is alex/jo but even then, they’re just kind of there, yk?

-i love that meredith has one format of outfit that she likes and that works for her and she sticks to it. relatable AF.

-why didn’t miranda just have a conversation with ben before she sprung the separation on him? he would have been more than understanding i think

-i really like teddy and koracick actually

-i’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop with betty :(

-did they change out writers and/or show runners?? the writing feels… cheesier almost? or maybe just like the emotional beats are less earned? i mean it’s always been delightfully soapy but it’s just different these past couple of seasons and i can’t put my finger on it

-betty/britney’s mom is baby from dirty dancing?????!!!!!

-alex just straight up not being able to understand the scottish accents is so fucking funny.

-i love it when bokhee has lines

-“it’s a real fire!!” alex, gleefully and wrapped in a homemade knit scarf while indoors

-richards reaction to they/them pronouns is very interesting and i think it’s definitely an accurate portrayal of how even the generally accepting and well meaning older people can sometimes struggle with that kind of stuff. like, he’s not trying to be ignorant or rude he’s just genuinely perplexed. “the world moves fast and i’m just trying to keep up”

-i SWEAR TO GOD if teddy gets back with owen instead of staying with tom i will start hitting things

-“you suffered for years bc of my brother so you should totally get together and move in with him”- megan hunt in a wig that’s almost as terrible as her advice

-nancy!!!

-the shepherd family dynamic is so interesting to me because we’ve heard about it from two different perspectives over the years (derek’s and things amelia has said mostly in PP) and what we’ve seen of them is mostly from derek and meredith’s perspective in which they seem nice if a bit overbearing.

-okay jeez kathleen is a piece of work. i’ve always liked nancy even though she is “mcbitchy”. i also can’t help but to think about how addison fit into all of this when she and derek were married lol.

-has amelia ever told her family about christopher?

-stop trying to push owen and teddy on me!!!! i hate it!!

-that is insurance fraud babe. is there not a way for them to do it pro bono or something??

-okay i can sense that teddy and owen is going to happen so i will not make any more notes about it bc all i have to say about it is some variation of “no! i hate it!”

-okay i lied because the way teddy is going about it makes me deeply upset. poor tom. also “he makes me laugh and feel safe but i don’t feel rage or passion or ecstasy” ????? i should hope you don’t feel rage??? owen hunt makes me enraged too but that doesn’t mean i want to kiss him on the mouth!!! jesus christ. just fuck tom i guess, right?

-WOAH. i was not vibing with merluca but he’s willing to go to prison for her??!!!

-there’s no way they’re really fired . meredith owns a good chunk of the hospital still, right??? not to mention there’s maybe three characters on this show that *haven’t* committed crimes/major ethical violations.

-i’ve been beefing with jackson for a few seasons now tbh

What about a Carina DeLuca x female!reader where they get married? Maybe Y/n could be a trauma/general surgeon and you can add a flashback when they meet at work and operate on someone and their eyes meet during the surgery and they're both instantly attracted to each other. Then fast forward to the day before the wedding and the same situation, they're operating and also talk about their wedding.

The wedding happens and they celebrate the night in their hotel room

❛ 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 ❜

𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: Carina DeLuca x f!reader ♡

𝘼/𝙣: Heyy hope you like! Kinda happy I posted this not after so long ahah

It was all in 24 hours and you could already feel all your body shake in happiness and excitement. If you think that tomorrow you would have got married it still felt so surreal. And with an amazing woman, Carina DeLuca.

Right now you were still at the hospital, a trauma had just arrived, so you had put all your feelings aside and do what you could do best, saving lives. The paramedics had already come in starting to list the case, you helped them to take the patient in a room. It had been a serious car accident and the woman was also pregnant, so you called OB/GYN. When you pronounced that phrase and saw Carina walking in, it all instantly seemed so familiar, like the first day you've met each other.

You still remember it like it was yesterday, a woman had been run over, and was halfway through her pregnancy. The way she behaved with patients immediately struck you, she was so sweet that she managed to reassure you too. At that time she was new at the hospital, and you felt the need to get to know her right away, that smile and those eyes on you the first time she saw you got inside you completely. And during the surgery, step after step, your gazes couldn't help but meet everytime. You didn't believe in this kind of things, like love at first sight, but with her it's been different because you had immediately felt something building inside you, the same was for her.

And here you are today, again in the same situation, your hands and bodies concentrated on the surgery, but your minds and hearts were already thinking about tomorrow.

"I wonder how you can stay so focused, I mean, I really admire you for this" Carina said giggling softly.

"Focused? Oh God I feel like I'm going to explode every minute, I'm too excited" you said smiling under the mask.

"I know right, I just can't wait to be your wife" you could hear the joy in her voice.

"Me too darling" you said. "You know what, I also can't stop thinking if everything is ready, I just want it all to be perfect" you sighed.

"I get that, it's something that never stops to pressure you, the anxiety and all that stress damn" she laughed softly. "But Andrea and all my frieds helped me a lot, he made me sure that all was perfect and I hope so"

"Yeah, Meredith, Amelia, Jo, Arizona and Alex helped me a lot too, I think without them I wouldn't made it" you said as you continued the procedure carefully. "Why is marrying someone you love so stressful?" You asked chuckling.

"Well, it must be the best day of our lives, I think it's normal some stress. And it'll be worth of it, bambina" she looked at you, even she was wearing the mask you could see her smile.

"Yes, you're right" you reciprocated the look.

After she completed the cesarean section, you still had a lot to do, Carina moved the baby where the nurses placed her in an incubator, ready to take her to peds.

"So, see you tomorrow" you said before she could leave.

"See you tomorrow and good luck with the surgery" she smiled at you before leaving with the nurses.

The surgery luckily went well, the woman was stable, the same for the baby. Your shift was over, so you went home to celebrate the night before tomorrow with your friends, which had taken pretty long, but it didn't matter since you couldn't sleep. Your mind was too awake.

The day after you woke up early and had a shower, before waking up the girls who stayed with you all the night. Meredith and Amelia prepared the dress for you, after you came out of the bathroom they helped you to put it on. The sight of yourself in that wedding dress have already had a big effect on you that facing this whole wonderful day was even too much.

"You're so beautiful" they said to you. "Hey, this is not a dream" Meredith added. You laughed softly.

"Yeah I'm just trying to realize everything"

"Damn, I'm already going to cry" Arizona said, looking at you.

"Oh, do not please, or I will too" you chuckled. When everything was ready, they helped you to get in the car.

The wedding wouldn't be in Seattle, but in a location not far away. You and Carina didn't want something very big, something intimate and simple was enough. It would have been an outdoor ceremony with all your loved ones. The journey seemed endless, but finally the car stopped at the destination. Your bridesmaids preceded you, then your moment arrived. You could feel everyone's eyes on you when you were walking, but your eyes were only focused on your future wife, right in front of you. She was sobeautiful, as always, at the sight of you her eyes were literally shining.

When the priest started the ceremony, you and Carina were just standing in front of each other, holding your hands and can't helping but smiling to each other. Your heartbeat increased every second, every single word about your story made you both almost cry in happiness and gratitude. During the exchange of the wedding rings it was a miracle that you didn't drop it. And then, it was that moment, that question finally arrived.

“Y/n L/n, do you take Carina DeLuca as your wife? Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, for as long as both of you shall live?” you grinned at her.

"Yes, I do!" holding the tears was now more difficult.

"Carina DeLuca, do you take Y/n L/n as your wife? Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better and for worse, for so long as you both shall live?” she gave you the same grin.

"God, yes, I do!" She exclaimed.

"I officially declare you wife and wife, you may now kiss" you both didn't wait one more second to approach and giving you the first kiss as a married couple. As you kissed, everyone started clapping.

The party and celebrations could begin, even if you and her could only think about your life together and what it would be like with each other every day of your lives. Everything was amazing, also all your favorite people made this day very special, but for you and Carina felt like in a romance novel every second of it.

After the night has come and all the guests congratulated one last time before leaving, you and your wife reached your hotel room, that had been prepared. You sat on the soft bed looking around.

"I still can't realize this" you sighed, still thinking about this wonderful day.

"And maybe I can, because my awesome wife is right in front of my eyes" she smiled leaning in to kiss you. You placed your hands on her cheeks, deepening the kiss.

"What a honour to be married to such a beautiful italian woman like you" you whispered in the kiss.

"And what a honour to have you all for me this night and all the nights that still have to come" she whispered, with a hand moving a lock of your hair and the other one played teasingly with the sleeve of your dress.

She made you lay down on the bed positioning herself on top of you.

"Ti amo, bambina" (I love you, bambina) she said pressing a soft kiss on your neck and then looking at you.

"Ti amo anch'io" (I love you too) you replied smiling, that was all the italian you learnt since you told her so many times. Her lips returned focusing on your neck, tasting your soft skin, you rested your head back against the pillow as your hands explored her body. Now it was just the two of you, forever and always.
