Chapter 1: Erica Hahn Knows All
Izzie walked into Denny's room. She was out of her scrubs already and in a nice sundress.
"Izzie Stevens, you look mighty beautiful in that dress. Get all dressed up for me?" He asked with a smirk.
"Dr. Stevens to you Denny," Izzie joked. "…And if you must know, it's my daughters birthday, so I am taking her out for a night on the town." Izzie smiled.
"Daughter? Really, how old is she?" Denny asked.
Izzie closed her chart and looked up at Denny. "Twelve."
"If she looks anything like you, you're going to have to keep the boys off of her." Denny smiled.
"I already have to. She has one boy head over heals in love with her, and secretly she loves him too." Izzie smiled. "But, I have to go, I just wanted to come check in on you before I left."
"Have a good time. Tell your daughter I said happy birthday." Denny smiled, just then a little head peaked through the door and then the girl ran in and hugged Izzie.
"Or you can tell her right now… Sarah, this is Denny. Denny, this is my daughter Sarah." Izzie smiled.
"Happy Birthday Sarah." Denny smiled.
"Thanks Denny." She giggled.
"Sarah, I was going to go meet you at Aunt Addie's office." Izzie told her softly sending Denny an apologetic smile.
"I wanted to see you, so I snuck away." Sarah smiled mischievously.
"Okay… Ready to go?" Izzie asked. Sarah nodded.
"Okay Let's go. Bye Denny, see you tomorrow."
"Look forward to it." Denny smiled. "Nice meeting you Sarah"
"Same here." Sarah waved good-bye, and Denny watched as the two beautiful women walked out.
Anyone who saw the two women knew they were both related. They had the same big brown eyes, and the same bright smile. In the light, Sarah's hair looked, as light as Izzie's but usually it was a darker blonde, almost brown. Izzie always told Sarah it was exactly like her fathers.
"There you are monkey. I've been looking all over for you." Addison said giggling as she walked up to the pair.
"Sorry Aunt Addie." Sarah smiled. "I figured you had your hands full with Carson and Megan." Sarah shrugged.
"Now, they are with their father. I have a surgery in an hour. Bye." Addison waved walking off.
"So, mom tell me again how you became to be good friends." Sarah asked when they reached their car.
"Addie and me or just everyone in general?" Izzie asked.
"Everyone." Sarah smiled.
"You were there, Sarah. You know." Izzie laughed.
"I know, but I love hearing this story." Sarah smiled as they pulled out of Seattle Grace parking lot.
"I see. Well that my dear is such a long story. I met, your Aunts and Uncles George, Alex, Meredith, and Christina during our internship…" Izzie thought back to the day they all helped move in.
"Gosh Barbie, can you have anymore stuff?" Christina asked.
"Sorry Christina, Half of it is Sarah's." Izzie shrugged. Sarah smiled at Christina.
Something about the girl made Christina smile. Christina hated kids. She would rather cut off her hand then spend one minute with a kid. She thought they were loud obnoxious and annoying. But this one was different. Sarah was quiet, but when she spoke she said very smart things. She was too smart for her own good.
"Well, come on Runt. Help me carry these boxes." Christina told Sarah as she handed her a box and they walked up stairs.
"Christina do you have a Dad?" Sarah asked.
"Everyone has a dad." Christina informed her.
"I knew that, but what I mean is, do you know him?"
"I knew him. He died in an accident when I was 12." Christina said sitting down against the wall.
"My mom said that my dad couldn't handle being a dad." Sarah whispered.
"Welcome to the no dad club. The one club, nobody wants to join." Christina said.
Sarah looked up at her room. "This is a pretty alright room. Don't you think?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah.
It is." And that's how they sat. In silence. Sarah felt more
comfortable around Christina, then any other one of her mom's
friends. She connected to her in a way no one else could. They didn't
have to talk about their feelings or talk period. They were just
comfortable with each other's presence, and that's how they both
liked it.
Downstairs was a different story.
Meredith walked into the house in a storm.
"Whoa, Mer. What's wrong?"
"Derek has a Kid!" Meredith yelled.
"A kid?" George gulped and sat down on the stairs.
Meredith nodded. "A whole other person that I had no idea about."
"I have a kid." Izzie countered.
"I am not dating you." Meredith concluded.
"True, but what's the problem?" Izzie asked.
"I am not motherly. I don't know how to handle a boy. I mean, men I can handle. I can handle men real well, but a little boy. No!" Meredith ranted.
"Mer. calm down. How old is he?" Izzie asked.
"Almost 8." Meredith sighed.
"How about tomorrow night, Derek brings them over and him and Sarah can play and you two go out and have a nice long dinner." Izzie asked.
"You would do that?" Meredith asked looking up at Izzie.
"Hello, she is like freaking Mother Goose." Christina said coming down the stairs with Sarah on her back.
"Knock Knock." Addison smiled walking into the house.
"Hey babe." Alex smiled walking over to her and kissing her. "You are just in time. Mer's freaking out."
"Why are you freaking out?" Addison asked laughing.
"Derek has a kid." Meredith told her.
"Andy." Addison nodded.
"You know him?"
"Yeah. Sweet kid. Derek had him back when we were interns.
"Really?" Meredith asked.
"Yeah. His mom and I were close friends, but then she failed the intern exam and just took off leaving a crying toddler with Derek."
"Okay, Well tomorrow he's coming over here. How would you like that? Derek's son Andy's coming over tomorrow." Izzie told Sarah.
"Sure. I guess." Sarah shrugged as she climbed off of Christina's back and went over to greet Addison with a hug.
"I just can't believe Derek and I have been dating for months and I had no clue." Meredith gaped.
"That is something, you have to work through." Addison said. Meredith just nodded.
"Okay. Well, Alex, you ready to go?" Addison asked.
"Yes." He nodded and grabbed his coat and they walked out.
"I have to go too." Christina said getting up. "Later Runt."
"Christina, Remind Burke about Saturday. He is helping me cook the Turkey." Izzie called out.
"Just make sure to have some tequila for me and mer."
And with that, it left, George, Meredith, Sarah, and Izzie.
"I remember that. Well I remember first meeting Andy." Sarah laughed. "That's when my life went downhill."
Izzie hit her playfully. "Shut up. You know you love him."
Sarah rolled her eyes and looked out the window.
"Sarah! Is your room clean?" Izzie called from downstairs.
"Considering we barley moved in yesterday, then yes mom, I think it's clean." Sarah laughed.
"Right… Right." Izzie laughed.
"Izzie. Do I look alright?" Meredith yelled form upstairs.
"Yes." Izzie yelled as she pulled the cookies from the oven.
"You aren't even up here looking!" Meredith yelled.
"Has anyone seen my tie? I have a date and I need my tie?" George yelled as he entered the hallway. Sarah poked her head out from her room.
"You have a date?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Well, no, but I am going to Joe's and I could possibly meet someone."
"Right." Sarah laughed.
"Even George is managing to get some." Sarah yelled downstairs.
"Correction Sarah, George got Syph." Meredith yelled from her room.
"I don't think this looks right," Meredith said pulling at her dress as she walked out into the hallway.
"You look great." Izzie smiled as she climbed up the stairs.
"You sure?" Meredith asked.
"You look beautiful." George smiled.
"George, you're drooling." Sarah smiled sweetly at him and he quickly ran to his room.
"You are spending too much time with Christina." Meredith muttered as she walked into the restroom.
The doorbell rang.
"What if his son doesn't like me?" Meredith asked Sarah as she walked downstairs.
"Mom, I think we're going to have to sedate her before she goes on her date." Sarah told her mother seriously.
Izzie laughed as she opened the door for Derek and his son.
"Hey!" Izzie smiled.
"Hey Izzie. Guys this is my son Andy. Andy this is Izzie, Her daughter, Sarah, and my girlfriend Meredith." Derek smiled as he went over to Meredith and kissed her on her cheek.
"Hi Andy." Meredith smiled.
"Hey." He shyly played with his hands as she stood at his father's side.
"So, we're going to get out of here. You sure you will be okay with Izzie and Sarah?"
Andy nodded.
"Okay bye son." Derek kissed the top of this head and led Meredith out of the door.
"So, is Andy your actual name?" Sarah asked. He shook his head.
"Well… What is it?" Sarah asked.
"Michael Andrew Shepard." He told her quietly.
"I see. Mine is, Sarah Alexis Stevens, but you can call me Sarah." She looked awkwardly to her mom and to Andy.
"I am going to go check on the cupcakes." Izzie smiled. "Play nicely"
"So…" Andy said as they walked into the living room.
"My mom is making cupcake. She made Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, and you can pick whatever you want to eat. But I think she made dinner, so I think we have to eat that first. Unless you already ate dinner, but my mom is a really good cook, so yeah you might want to eat dinner with us too. Just to try her cooking because I mean, it's really good. You should just ask Meredith. Meredith is your dad's girlfriend. She is pretty great. This is her house you know. She doesn't really know how to cook, but it's okay cause my mom cooks super well. She made cookies earlier. They are sugar cookies and so she is making icing so we can decorate them anyway we want. You can have it any color too and any design I guess. So… Yay." Sarah giggled nervously.
Andy
looked at her confused. "You talk way to much." He told her.
"Yeah…" Sarah giggled and Andy smiled at her.
"So, Sarah, what do you want to do for your birthday? It's your day. We can go pick up Andy if you want." Izzie said cautiously
"No way!" Sarah told her. "Stupid jerk." She muttered.
"When are you going to tell me what happened between you two? It's been months since you two have even talked. It couldn't have been so bad to throw away 5 years of being best friends."
Sarah shrugged. "Let's just go to eat pizza in the park."
"Okay…" Izzie trailed off.
"Hey Meredith." Andy smiled as he walked up to Meredith.
"Hey stud." She smiled and bent down to kiss him on the cheek.
"Where's Sarah? She told me to meet her in the lobby as soon as I got here, but she wasn't there."
"Andy…" Meredith pulled him to a seat. "Sarah got really sick last night…"
"Oh. Is she okay?" Andy asked.
"She will be, but right now her appendices is very sick, and they have to do surgery to take it out."
"Is she in surgery yet?" He asked.
"Not yet, but they will be soon. Would you like to go see her?" Andy nodded.
Meredith led the already 8 year old to his best friends room. They had been best friends for a few months and were inseparable.
Andy grinned as he walked into the hospital room and saw that Sarah was playing video games.
"Whoa! That's pretty cool. Who set this up for you?" he asked her motioning toward the play station that was connected to the TV.
"Uncle George and Uncle Alex." She grinned. "Come lay down with me and play."
"Okay!" He grinned and laid down next to her. "Where's your mom?" He asked.
"Uncle George forced her to go home and take a shower." Sarah laughed.
After an hour or so they both drifted to sleep.
"Meredith!" Derek kissed her as he walked up to her. "Have you seen Andy?" Derek asked.
"Yes. I took him over to Sarah's room." Meredith told him.
"Okay. I am out for the night. When does your shift end?" he asked.
"Ended a couple hours ago, but I was waiting for you." She smiled.
"Want to come home with us?" Derek asked.
"Derek Michael Shepard. Are you insinuating what I think you are?" Meredith laughed.
"Maybe…" He kissed her.
"Come on." Meredith laughed as she pulled him toward Sarah's room.
Izzie looked up from her book when she saw Meredith and Derek walk in.
"Hey." She smiled. "Look at those two. They were crashed when I got here."
"Aw! They are so cute." Meredith gushed.
"They are destined to get married." Izzie concluded. Meredith agreed. "Your son better not break my daughter's heart." Izzie warned.
Derek just laughed. "Never."
"Happy Birthday sweetie." Izzie smiled as her and her daughter cut into a small cake in the park.
"Thanks." She smiled.
"So, everyone is coming over tonight for a big birthday dinner."
"Everyone?" Sarah asked.
"Everyone." Izzie nodded.
"When you say everyone, what do you mean?" Sarah asked.
"You Aunt Addie, Uncle Alex, Carson, and Megan. The Chief and Adele said they'd try to make it. Christina and Burke are coming. George and Lexie will be there. Derek, Meredith, and Andy. I think Derek said something about one of his closest friends coming into town so, I think he will be coming. Callie and Erica will be there also."
"Wow." Sarah laughed.
"Do you want to invite any of your friends from school?" Izzie asked.
"No way." Sarah shook her head. "Save me the humiliation."
Izzie rolled her eyes. "Our family isn't that bad."
"Right." Sarah laughed.
"Come on. Let's get going. I need time to bake a cake. Uncle Burke is bringing the food."
"Mm! He just might be a better cook then you mom."
"You don't have to spare my feelings sweetie. He is a better cook than me."
"If it makes you feel any better, you're a better baker." Sarah smiled.
"That's true." Izzie laughed.
Sarah smiled and looked up to her mom and best friend.
"I love you, mom."
"Love you too, Sar." Izzie smiled and pulled her into a side-hug.

Ding Dong
"Geez someone answer the damn door." Izzie yelled as she ran through her house. It wasn't exactly hers, it was Meredith's, but Meredith let her stay in it when her and Derek got married.
Izzie opened the door to reveal none other then the Burkes.
"Well hello, hello, hello, hello!" Izzie smiled widely.
"Where do I put the food?" Burke asked as she had a couple trays in his hand.
"Kitchen of course." Izzie smiled and guided him to the kitchen.
"I'm going to find the runt." Christina told them as she walked up the stairs to Sarah's room.
Sarah was lying down in her bed reading a book.
"Happy Birthday Runt." Christina gave a small smile as she handed her a box.
Sarah laid her book down and looked up and Christina and gave her a questioning look.
"You never buy my birthday gifts. Burke does." Sarah told her.
"Yeah, well that is staying the same. I didn't buy it." Christina shrugged as she sat Indian-style across from Sarah on the bed.
Sarah looked at her and shrugged and began opening the tiny box that revealed a white gold necklace with a small diamond on the front.
"It's beautiful." Sarah smiled up at Christina. "But… Why…" Sarah looked at her confused.
"My dad bought it for me for my twelfth birthday. It was the last thing he gave me." Christina looked Sarah in eye. "I want you to have it." Sarah grinned.
"But Christina. This has to mean a lot to you."
"It does, and that's why I am giving it to you. I know you will take care of it for me." Christina smiled,
"Okay." Sarah nodded. "Put it on."
"It looks great." Christina said as she finished clipping it on.
"Thanks."
Ding Dong
"Great. It's probably Mer, Der, and Andy." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Why are you so upset with Andy, anyways?" Christina asked.
Sarah shrugged. "He's an asshole."
"I don't buy that bit, but whatever. I could care less about you and McJunior." Christina rolled here eyes.
"Same here." Sarah laughed. "Gotta go downstairs to greet all the damn people." Sarah grumbled.
"Language." Christina warned.
Sarah turned around as she was walking out to look back at Christina with a raised eyebrow.
"Seriously?" Sarah smirked.
"No." Christina said.
"That's what I thought." Sarah laughed as she bounced down the stairs.
The person she saw standing there was the last person she could imagine.
"Oh. My. Gosh! You're here! I wished you would be here, and now you're here! I can't believe it! I've missed you so much!" She yelled as she ran down the rest of the stairs and through her arms around him.
"This is so unreal!" She exclaimed.
"You two know each other?" Derek asked totally confused.
"When you said we're going to our friends daughter, Sarah's birthday party, you did not mention that the daughter was Sarah Stevens." Mark told Derek as he hugged Sarah tightly and kissed her forehead over and over again.
"Small world." Meredith grinned. Andy just walked off to the kitchen and bumped into Izzie as she walked into the foyer.
"You've got to be kidding me." Izzie muttered. "Seriously?" Izzie yelled and everyone turned to her.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Izzie asked.
"Mom. Don't." Sarah begged, you could tell she was worried.
"Izzie listen to her." Mark told her still holding Sarah in his arms. "Please. I was invited by Derek."
"I don't understand what's going on." Derek said.
"Me either." Meredith told them.
"I'm moving to Seattle." Mark declared as he stared at Izzie in the eye.
"What?" Derek asked in total shock.
"No you aren't." Izzie yelled at him.
"Yes!" Sarah grinned as she hugged Mark again.
"Sarah. Go to you room. I need to talk to Mark. Alone." Izzie said glaring at him.
"No. Mom. You can't run him off again!" Sarah yelled as tears bottled up in her eyes as she clung to Mark's neck.
"Iz. Please." Mark begged. He took looked as if he was going to cry.
"No Mark! You can't keep doing this." Izzie yelled.
"Doing what, Izzie? I did it once! ONCE! And you never gave me a chance to explain!" Mark yelled back.
"Mom! Just let it be! It's my birthday!" Sarah cried into Mark's chest.
"Sarah now!" Izzie yelled. Everyone got silent. Nobody had ever heard her yell at Sarah in the 5 years they'd known her.
Ding Dong
Addison and Alex came walking in with their son Carson in Alex's arms and their daughter Megan in Addison's.
It was quiet and Sarah was crying, Mark had tears in his eyes and Izzie was fuming.
"I think we came at the wrong time?" Alex asked.
"I think we should all go to the kitchen." Meredith declared.
"I think I want to know what's going on." Derek muttered. Addison slapped him on the side of the head as she pushed him into the kitchen along with Alex.
They walked in and saw Christina, Burke and Andy talking in the kitchen.
"Mark and Izzie really know each other." Derek stated.
"Wow." Meredith laughed.
"I bet they slept together." Derek said.
"No doubt about it." Meredith laughed.
They all got quiet so they could listen.
"Izzie. You can't make me leave!" Mark yelled.
"Oh yes I can!" She yelled back.
"Izzie! Please. I'm in this. I'm in this."
"You are never in this." Izzie yelled crying.
They heard a punch against the wall.
"Damnit Izzie, if I wasn't, it's because you never let me in." Mark yelled.
"Mark. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE." Izzie yelled.
"Mom! You can't do this."
"Sarah, go to your room."
"No!" Sarah yelled.
"Sarah…" Izzie started.
"Izzie, she wants me here!" Mark yelled.
"Shut up she's my daughter!" Izzie yelled.
"Mom, please." Sarah begged through tears.
"GO TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW, or I swear I will cancel this party and you are grounded until eternity." Izzie yelled.
"FINE! But if you make him leave like last time, I will never forgive you!" Sarah yelled.
"Punishing her for wanting to see me?"
"Oh please. She will thank me later. All you do is break her heart."
"Izzie you never let me explain!" Mark yelled.
"Mark, Why are you here?" Izzie asked.
"To win you back." Mark said sarcastically. "I came to visit Derek."
Derek grinned at Meredith. "I knew that's why he came back. Couldn't live in big bad New York with out me." Meredith rolled her eyes.
"Shh!" Addison hissed.
"Mark. You had everyone thinking that I made you leave, and I didn't. Sarah has never forgave me for that, and wanted to tell her so bad that you left, that you couldn't handle it, but I didn't. I didn't ask you to love me. I didn't ask you to marry me. I just wanted you to be in your own daughter's life." Izzie cried.
Everyone in the kitchen's jaw dropped.
"I screwed up, Izzie. I should have stayed, but…" Mark looked down. "I didn't leave because I couldn't handle it. I left because I had to, and you know why." Izzie nodded.
"How was I supposed to tell my daughter, that her father left because he had to go get treatment for his cancer? How was I supposed to explain that? You should have stayed. You should have let us help. You broke her. You broke me. I would have been there, but you left me." Izzie cried. "All we got was the occasional letter or the occasionally phone call, and when you called, you never wanted to talk to me."
Addison turned to Derek and Derek looked up surprised.
"I had to leave. I couldn't let her se me like that, Iz." Mark told her.
"You just left." Izzie cried. "I needed you."
"I'm sorry. If I could go back in time, I would have stayed. I wouldn't have chickened out. I love you." Mark told her.
Izzie bit her lower lip. "Are you really staying, because I don't think I can handle another heart broken girl to take care of, and I don't think I can handle a broken heart."
"I'm in this." Mark told her as he pulled Izzie into a tight hug. "Can I stay?" Mark asked. Izzie nodded.
"Yay!" Sarah shouted as she ran down the stairs and ran into Mark's arms.
"You're staying forever?" Sarah asked. Mark grinned and nodded.
"Love you Sar Bear." Mark whispered into her hair as he spun her around.
"Love you too, Daddy." Sarah smiled.
Izzie cried as she watched the two and walked up to the two can hugged them.
"Derek, did you know?" Addison asked.
Derek shook his head. "I didn't know any of this."
Izzie, Mark, and Sarah walked into the kitchen.
"Care to explain?" Derek asked Mark coldly.
"Not tonight. Please Derek." Mark begged.
Derek dismissed it with a nod. "Tomorrow though. Everything."
Mark nodded with a grin as he kissed Sarah on the cheek.
"So?" Addison asked.
"Long story. Can we just enjoy tonight?" Izzie asked as she walked to the sing to rinse her blotchy face off.
Everyone nodded.
"Hey!" They heard from the living room.
"We're here!"
A couple seconds later, George and Lexi walked in hand and hand.
"Callie said that they'd be running late." Lexi told them.
"Hey Lex." Meredith greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay enough of all this crap. Let's eat." Christina begged.
"We have to wait for Callie and Erica." Burke replied.
"Since when do we like Erica?" Christina laughed.
"We don't." Burke assured.
"So do you all work in the hospital or what?" Mark asked.
Everyone nodded as they sat at Meredith's dining table.
"Hey Sarah, Andy, why don't you two take Carson and Megan to the living room and take care of them?" Meredith suggested.
"Alright." Andy nodded, while Sarah grumbled.
"Sticking me with that idiot?" Sarah asked.
"Sarah!" Izzie said shocked.
"It's true." She shrugged. Andy glared at her.
"Hey. We're here!" Callie yelled into the house as she walked hand in hand with Erica Hahn.
"Hello." Erica smiled. "We brought wine." She said holding up the bottle.
"That's more of for me." Addison grinned.
"Can't handle tequila or what Addie?" Meredith grinned.
"Oh she can." Mark laughed.
"Oh really? You've got stories?" Alex asked, now interested.
"Do I have stories? Derek, Do we have stories?" Mark asked Derek.
Derek grinned mischievously at Addie.
"Stop!" Addison said as she laid her head down on the table.
"McDreamy, why haven't you mentioned this before?" Christina asked.
"I was waiting for the right time." Derek grinned.
"Oh come on guys. Don't rat her out." Izzie hit Mark playfully.
"Oh, Izzie. Izzie. Izzie. Isobel Stevens." Mark grinned at her.
"Mark. No." Izzie warned.
"You have stories about her too?" Callie asked now interested.
"This is something I want to hear." Burke laughed
"Me too." Erica grinned as she and Callie took a seat at the table.
"Erica." Mark nodded.
"You two know each other too!" Derek asked.
"Yes. We went to medical school together." Erica stated.
"Medical school? I don't remember you mark." Burke said. Mark shrugged looking at Izzie.
"He didn't get out much. I just had him for a couple classes." Erica said.
"Oh." Burke nodded.
"Wait. Mark Sloan didn't get out much?" Meredith asked. "Didn't you three go the medical school together?" Meredith asked Addison and Derek.
"Actually, we all went to different Medical Schools. We grew up together, but then we all separated then got back together during out internship." Addison told her.
"Oh." Meredith nodded.
"Yeah. I didn't really get out much in medical school. I had other priorities." Mark grinned at Izzie.
"Ah. Now we know." Derek grinned. "Too busy with Stevens."
"Shut it!" Izzie blushed.
"I have a feeling we're going to get to the bottom of this before the night is over." Burke grinned.
"Wait bottom of what?" Erica asked.
"Marks the father of Sarah." Alex stated.
"Yeah. I knew that." Erica laughed. Izzie gave her a warning look. "Wait, none of them knew that we knew each other before Seattle Grace?" Erica asked. Izzie looked down.
"What?" Callie asked Erica. Erica looked over at Izzie and Izzie just nodded.
"Izzie was in her second year of College when Mark and I were in our last year of Medical School. Sarah was only a year old or so. When Mark and Izzie needed to get out, I would baby-sit Sarah." Erica told them.
"You Babysat?" Callie laughed.
"Yes. Well, I mean I got paid." Erica told them.
"So this whole time you knew, and you never told any of us?" Addison asked with a smirk.
"Well… I mean. I thought you all knew." Erica told them.
"Now, I want to know about this Cancer." Derek said softly toward Mark.
"It was really nothing. It was Leukemia. I fought it and got over it, and now I'm fine." Mark told them.
"You never told me." Derek told him.
"I didn't want anyone to know. Only Izzie knew." Mark told them.
Izzie looked over toward Mark and Mark looked at her.
"I'm sorry." Izzie whispered.
"Me too." Mark nodded with a smile.
"There are still so many unanswered questions." Addison said.
"One day, they will be answered, but at the moment, we are just as shocked as you are." Izzie told them.
"So let's just enjoy this evening" Burke announced.
"Cheers the that." Addison grinned as she raised her wine glass.
"I still want to hear these embarrassing stories."
"Oh. You will." Mark grinned.
