Anna woke up to screaming and yelling from Meredith, Cristina, Alex, and Jo as Cristina finally got her 5am call from the Harper Avery foundation.

"You are gonna be gracious and humble. You are gonna thank them, but you are not going to grovel. You remember who you are. You are Cristina Yang, and you are going to change the face of medicine. Go." Meredith gave her a pep talk, filming her reaction.

"Hello?" Cristina finally answered, "Yes, this is Cristina Yang."

Loud screams erupted from the bedroom as Cristina revealed her nomination for a Harper Avery award. She was nominated for her work with the printing of a heart that saved a baby's life.

"What's going on?" A tired looking Derek rubbed his eyes and entered Zola's room where both of the kids were awake and Meredith, Cristina, and Jo were happily giggling and laughing.

"Cristina just got the call!" Meredith shouted, happily, "She's nominated for a Harper Avery!"

"Congratulations." Derek deadpanned, "It's 5am. You woke the kids up, you can deal with them. I'm going back to sleep while I can."

He almost knocked Anna over as she walked down the hall, her hair a rat's nest, with her blankets wrapped around her shoulders.

"Go back to sleep, sweetheart. It's only five."

"I'm awake now." Anna peeked into Zola's room, mean mugging everyone as Cristina bit her lip, "Sorry."

"I'm going back to sleep on your couch, Mer." Alex walked off into the living room.

"You got nominated?" Anna asked.

"I did." Cristina smiled.

Anna grabbed Zola's doorknob and flung the door closed as she walked back down the hall to her bedroom. Meredith and Cristina could be heard laughing.
