Minnicks First Day

"Why wasn't I informed about this decision? Catherine, you said I would be the person who represented the Avery Foundation making the calls concerning Grey Sloan?" Ivy bursts into Baileys office, seeing her meeting with Catherine.

Catherine nods, "Thats right. But I felt that I needed-"

Ivy shakes her head, "No, this is my hospital. The one you gave me and said I would have full authority. Why are you butting in now?"

She sighs, "Because of people like Leah Murphy, Alex Karev, Meredith Grey, April Kepner. They all needed second chances."

"Leah Murphy screwed herself by sleeping with attendings within her first week of working here. She needed to clear her head and get a shift kick in the ass. She's improved greatly from what I've seen. Alex Karev thought the woman he loved was being assaulted and protected her. Don't tell me that you don't think Jackson wouldn't have done the same thing if in that position. Meredith Grey messed with a trial to make sure that your husband's first wife could get the treatment she deserved. And yes, April did miss a step and failed her boards, but she's never made that mistake again. That's what a teaching hospital is and don't tell me you've never made a mistake because that's crap," Ivy rants, "And don't forget, this program made surgeons such as Bailey, Christina Yang, Stephanie Edwards. If you need personal ties, it made Jackson and I. Stop messing with my hosptial."

"That was a very heartfelt speech, but it doesn't change the fact that Dr. Minnick is coming to asses the program. Please, be welcoming. Remember you have that meeting with Harper and the financial team today," Catherine smiled, walking out of the office.

Ivy turns to Bailey, "What the hell?"

"Look, she's just here to assess the program and suggest some things. It will be fine," Bailey tells her.

"Shes doesn't step foot in my OR," Ivy says.

"Fine."

"Fine."

Ivy storms out and finds Jackson, Maggie, Arizona, and Riggs looking over some scans, "Did I imagine the conversation with Catherine about this being my hospital? Because I remember that the reason doctors from this hospital can get a Harper Avery now is because I'm making decisions regarding this hospital. Not you, not your mother, not Harper. Me."

Jackson chuckles, "No, you didn't imagine it."

Arizona looks at her, "Are people getting fired? Is that why you're so...fired up?"

"Honestly, I don't know. Catherine was going on about to many people needing second chances. We should be prepared for things to change. Cause I don't know how to stop it," Ivy shrugs.

They're interrupted by residents walking by, laughing. Jackson stands behind Ivy, "Ah, that's not ominous at all."

"Damn. Okay, I've got to go meet with Harper and the financial team," Ivy starts heading for the door.

Ivy meets Webber outside a conference room where she sees Minnick talking with the residents. She goes to open the door but he stops her, "Bailey says they are to have this meeting privately."

She snorts, "Well, Bailey didn't check the schedule, because I'm scheduled to have this conference room all day for meetings to get funding for this hospital so we can have people like Minnick around. She'll be fine," with that, she opens the door.

Everyone looks to her, Minnick saying, "Uh, this is a private meeting."

"Yes, in a conference room that's been taken for three weeks. I have a meeting with Harper Avery and the top financial advisors of the Foundation to get money for this hospital. Money that will pay you. I'm all for helping residents get their best education, but we have jobs to do. Have your meeting somewhere else, cause I have my own meetings to worry about," Ivy holds the door open.

"Fine. I look forward to seeing you in an OR," Minnick starts to leave, the residents moving to follow her.

Ivy laughs, "If you think you are gonna be allowed in my OR, your out of your damn mind. I've dealt with worse people than you and I'm still here. Residents and interns are allowed in my OR but you are not. Speaking of which, who's on my service today?"

DeLuca raises his hand, "I am."

"Once your meeting is done, you can switch to Webbers service. I'll be in meetings all day, but I expect you to be on my service tomorrow."

"Understood, looking forward to it," he smiles.

"Do you always have meetings like this? Shuffling your residents off to another surgeon?" Minnick asks.

Ivy glares at her, "No, this only happens once a year. I'm double board certified and don't have the time to not have a resident. But Dr. DeLuca deserves to be in an OR, so I'm not going to keep him on my service when their is another attending willing to take him and teach him today."

Minnick nods, "I see."

Ivy feels eyes on her as she's talking to Harper after their meeting. Turning around, she sees Minnick watching her, "Excuse me, Harper. I have a watcher. I'll make sure to send those spreadsheets over and some pictures of the kids."

Closing down the meeting, Ivy opens the door and speaks, "Can I help you with something? Cause you're being creepy staring at me as I talk to my husband's grandfather."

"Just observing."

"Really? Last I checked, I wasn't a resident. I'm not even working with a resident today, so how about you leave me the hell alone and go sit in an observation deck and observe. Cause I will barely have time to eat today, let alone deal with your crap. Goodbye, stay away," Ivy waves at her.

Ivy walks into the clinic, seeing Jackson, Amelia, Alex, Arizona, and Maggie looking at a notebook, "Look, I have 15 minutes to deal with whatever this is, eat, and see the kids. What's up?"

Maggie hands her the list, "Residents sold us out. Minnick made an ordered list."

"Who the heck is Emilio Shepherd?" Amelia asks.

"Huh," Ivy tilts her head.

"Huh? Whats huh?" Maggie asks.

"I'm not on the list," she says.

Jackson takes it, "Your not on it? I thought for sure you'd be above me. How are you not on it?"

Ivy shrugs, "I don't know, but I definitely made myself known to her."

Amelia looks to her, "Oh, what did you do?"

"She was in my conference room. I only use one conference room for my meetings with Harper because otherwise he complains about the walls outside of the room or the screen not being good enough quality or other crap like that. So I have a specific room I have to be in. Then I caught her staring at me after my meeting, so I said something," Ivy brushes off, accepting the apple Jackson hands her.

"Its going to be a long couple of days," Amelia sighs.

Ivy lays on the couch, the twins snuggled up to her as they watch Toy Story. Jackson walks around, bouncing Aurora, "Are you okay? You're quiet tonight."
