A/N: I would really appreciate reviews on this story. Also, I'd love it if anyone had any suggestions for characters and how they would like to see their send off!
Meredith, Christina, Derek, Lexie, Mark, and Arizona have just returned from Boise, ID. They are entering the ER entrance of Seattle Grace Mercy West. Alex is in the ER and sees the other doctors. He approaches Meredith and Lexie, who are filling out paperwork at the desk.
"So?" Alex demanded. Meredith and Lexie look at him slightly puzzled. "How did the surgery go?" He demanded once again, this time with exasperation.
"Oh, that. It went well. There were some minor complications, but the babies are fine." Meredith replied, realizing what it was that Alex wanted.
"What sort of complications? What is the follow up plan? Who is the on call doctor?" He asked earnestly.
"Alex, would you please relax? Everything is fine. Besides, Robbins kicked you off of this case, remember?" Meredith said, slightly annoyed. Derek walked over to his wife and kissed her forehead.
"Now, I have to see my daughter." Meredith said, smiling at Derek. She handed the nurse her clipboard of forms and left with Derek to see Zola.
"I don't believe this. Robbins didn't answer my calls all day, and now she's no where to be found." Alex said, throwing his hands up in frustration.
Lexie rolled her eyes. "Come one Alex, give it a rest. The surgery went well, and Arizona is probably with Callie and Sophia."
"Whatever. This is crap." Alex replied as he left to attend to his patient.
Lexie laughed under her breath as she handed the nurse her paperwork. She turned around to see Mark standing before her. "That was some really great work back there, Lex."
"Yeah, well you guys did most of the work. I was just there to help Derek." She said with a shaky voice. "Listen, I should probably run back home to, uh, you know, change." She rubbed her forehead like she always did when she was nervous.
"Can we talk? Maybe over dinner or something?" Mark asked, desperate to catch her before she ran off.
"Oh, Markā¦" Lexie wasn't sure if she wanted to have that conversation yet. She was afraid that her confession would lead to something very uncomfortable. "Listen, we don't need to go through that whole thing."
"I think we do. Listen, I'll cook and do the talking. You just have to eat. That's all I'm asking."
Lexie sighed heavily. "Right, your apartment tonight." She agreed and walked away before she had to say any more.
"Robbins!" Alex yelled, spotting her in the hallway embracing Callie.
"Really, Karev!" Arizona turned to give him a dirty look.
"Don't be too hard on him. He's losing you too." Callie whispered to her wife. Clearing her throat Callie raised her voice. "I'll, uh, just let you two talk things out." Callie walked down the hallway, give Arizona an encouraging look.
Crossing her arms, Arizona turned to Alex. "What is it, Karev? Can't you give me any peace?"
"Did you get my messages or not? Because I haven't heard from you since you left."
"Yes! Yes I got all your damn messages, Alex! I got them on the plane, and at the hospital, and in the middle of surgery, and on the way home!"
"Then why didn't you call me back?"
"Because I had other things to do. Listen, Alex, you're a good doctor but you're not my number one priority. I have a wife, and a child, and a job. I get it. I get that you're upset that I you didn't get to go to Boise. I get that you wanted one last big surgery before you left for Hopkins, but this is ridiculous!" Arizona exclaimed.
"Look, I get that you're pissed, but Hopkins is the best there is. I can't say no to them."
"I'm not pissed, Karev." Arizona started. "Well I am, but that's not the point. I'm happy for you, it's just going to take me a long time to realize that I'm happy for you. I'm losing my best resident."
"Look, I'll keep in touch. M-maybe I'll even come back." Alex offered, shrugging his shoulders.
Arizona sighed heavily and shook her head. She covered the space between her and Alex and embraced him in a tight hug. After a moment of confusion, he hugged her back.
"You will be the best doctor Hopkins has ever seen. After all, you were taught by the best." Arizona said teary eyed. Alex gave her a shy smile.
"Chief! Incoming car crash, ETA five minutes out!" A nurse yelled to Owen.
"All right, did they tell you the damage?" He asked as he grabbed a gown.
"It sounded pretty bad. Not sure what who you'll need." She replied in a hurried voice as she ran off to prep trauma one.
"You! Page Bailey, Altman, and Torres stat!" He said to a passing nurse. Owen had a sinking feeling that this was going to be something big.
Torres came running out of the ER doors, joining Altman, Bailey and Hunt. "What do we have?" She asked as two ambulances pulled in front of the hospital.
"Car crash, two cars, and three victims." Hunt replied. "Bailey, you and Altman take this one, we'll take the other."
"Female in her mid to late thirties. Lacs to the upper torso, broken arm. Stable in the field." The driver said as she rushed to open the doors of the ambulance.
"Okay, on my count!" Altman said. "One, two, three!" The stretcher banged onto the cement and they rushed her inside the hospital. The other paramedic escorted a man out of the back.
"M-my wife. She was driving. He came out of nowhere! He just slammed into us." The man stumbled over his words.
"C-spine is clear, no obvious injuries." The paramedic said to Bailey.
"Sir? Are you hurt anywhere? We need to take you inside." Bailey walked with the paramedic to take him inside the hospital.
Owen opened the doors to the second ambulance. "John Doe, late sixties. He's a mess, Chief." The paramedic said to Owen.
Pulling the stretcher out of the ambulance, Callie gasped. "It's Webber!"
Owen stared for a moment before collecting himself. "Get him inside NOW!" He yelled, running his former boss into the hospital.
