Crest

Ivy holds on to Jacksons arm as they walk towards the hospital. The survivors have meetings the whole day but she and Jackson get coffee every morning together. This morning, Catherine and Webber walk up to them, "Catherine."

"Mom. How was breakfast?" Jackson asks, hugging his mother after Ivy.

"Ah, informative. And based on how Ivy is dressed, it's true. Which means, it's time for you to come to Boston," Catherine tells Jackson, but looks at Ivy as well.

Jackson and Ivy share looks before Jackson looks to Webber. "What have you done?"

Webber tries to defend himself, "Okay, now just wait a second."

Catherine interjects, "I've seen the kind of garbage that goes on in a Pegasus hospital. If your options are either working for them or this hospital shutting down altogether-"

"Catherine. Okay, this hospital is not shutting down. In uncertain times, men like Jackson and myself have to stand tall. We can't pack up and flee at the first sign of trouble. A man who does not bend to the winds of change is a man that you can be proud of," Webber says, causing Ivy to look down.

Jackson wraps his arm around her as Catherine looks at Webber, "Thats poetic."

"Um, well, this is fun and all, but I have a meeting to get to. If you'll excuse me," she goes to leave but is stopped by Catherine.

"Oh, no dear. He didn't mean you. Richard told me about the situation you were in and I think you made the right choice. And, if things don't work out, there's a spot for you in Boston," Catherine hugs her.

"Thank you, but I really need to get going. See you later," She kisses Jacksons cheek before running out.

Ivy takes a breath as they go through the plan, "Okay, so this time, I'll do the peds stuff first, then Ivy can do trauma."

"And then I will go into the neuro," Derek raises his hand.

"Okay, can somebody else do the closing? I-I was awful last time we practiced," Callie asks.

"No, you were fine," Arizona comforts her wife.

Callie sasses, "We really want to end on my flop sweats?"

Ivy nods, "I'll do the closing."

A secretary comes up to the group, "I'm sorry. It should be just a few more minutes. Can I get you any water or coffee?"

Everyone says there fine but Cristina, "Coffee. And a bagel or something. I'm starving. This meeting was supposed to start half an hour ago."

"Okay, he's a billionaire. One of his minutes is worth 40 of ours," Callie remarks.

Arizona shakes her head, "I can't believe we got this meeting in the first place."

"Yeah, nice job, Stan," Derek turns to the finance guy.

"I really believe Julian Crest is our guy. He made all his money in late stage internet mobile. Medical tech is the one area he doesn't have a foothold. Your focus on applied research, it's right up his alley," Stan nods at the group.

Cristina grumbles, "Yeah, well, someone should buy him a watch."

Meredith laughs before calling Brooks. The secretary comes back, "We're all set if you'll follow me."

They grab their stuff before following her.

Ivy closes out the speech, "You are investing in an institution, a reputation, a legacy. But Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital is worth more than its past. We plan to build on that reputation, to make it a place where medical innovation develops and delivers to the patients who need it. That is the future of Seattle Grace Mercy West. And we invite you to be a part of it."

"Neat. We'll, uh, let you know," the two college age students nod.

They are all standing outside, "I thought you were taking us to Julain Crest, not his day care center."

Stan shakes his head, "You don't just walk in and talk to a guy like Julian Crest. There are hoops to jump through. Those junior execs, like us, they pass us up to his business development guys. We impress them, then we see the man himself."

"Oh, will that happen before or after nap time? Just so I can get my schedule straight," Ivy sasses.

"You were golden in there. Theres no way you don't make it to the next level. I'm telling you, any second now this phone is gonna ring," Stan says, holding up his phone, "Really, any second now."

The phone rings and Stan quickly answers it, "Yes, I understand."

"What are they saying?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I understand."

Derek asks, "Understand? What do you understand?"

"Thank you. Thank you very much for your time. You guys, you were kind of rude," Stan hangs up.

"What did they freaking say?" Ivy shouts.

Stan nods, "I'm sorry. You got the meeting."

They start cheering as Meredith answes her phone. Ivy hugs Derek and Callie.

Ivy and Jackson are talking on the phone as Ivy waits for the next meeting, "I know you are unhappy with your mother right now, but she loves you and just wants the best for you."

"Jackson complains to his girlfriend.

"Okay, I'm not going to give too much detail, cause otherwise I would be dead, but Pegasus might not be the only contender. Just, hold out hope," Ivy smiles.

Jackson chuckles, "

"Hey, stop. Just hold on please. I love you and you got this. I'll talk to you later, don't have too much fun with Edwards," Ivy jokes.
