A/N: I know I still haven't finished my last story Suppose You'll Never Know but I've had this in my head for a bit and who said you can't do two things at once? So my last story was a DM fic now I'm doing one on Izzie because I absolutely love her. I will of course also write about the rest of crew but it will centre around Izzie.
IMPORTANT: The relationship between most of the characters doesn't follow the current episodes.
"Another batch of cupcakes?" Meredith asked her friend yawning. It was two in the morning and Meredith had been woken up from the noise Izzie was making in the kitchen.
"I couldn't sleep." Izzie explained icing the chocolate cupcakes, licking her fingers.
"What's on your mind?" Meredith asked taking the mixing spoon covered in batter from Izzie.
"It's Alex. I know you don't like him and wonder why on earth I do, but I can't help it. I can't get him off my mind, no matter how many cookies I bake." she added with a smile.
"I think it's sweet that you're baking yourself into a frenzy over him. Strange, but sweet.. And anyway, George and I get to reep from the benefits. Well, mainly George." Meredith said licking the spoon. "Mmm, this tastes great, Izzie."
"I know." She replied starting another batch, this time chocolate chip cookies. "Where's McDreamy?"
"Right here." Izzie and Meredith turned to see a very tired looking Derek pulling a top on. "What on earth are you two doing?" he asked yawning.
"Baking." Izzie smiled. "You wanna lick the bowl?" she offered.
"I better not." he answered patting his stomach.
"You are the biggest health nut I have ever met." Izzie laughed.
"Do you two realize what time it is?" he asked incredulously.
"Last time I checked it was twelve-thirty." Izzie said.
"It's two in the morning!"
"Well, doesn't time fly when you bake your emotions into six batches of baked goods." Izzie smiled.
"I'm going back to bed. Mer, are you coming?" he asked.
"In a sec." she smiled as he nodded and left.
"You know you can go back up. I didn't realize how early it was." Izzie said apologetically.
"No way. These muffins are too good to refuse." Meredith said taking a bite. " When does your shift start?"
"I have rounds at five."
"Have you had any sleep?" Meredith asked concerned.
"I think I might have dozed off when I was making those muffins you're eating." Izzie replied cutting up a cake.
"That would probably explain the chocolate batter in your hair." Meredith laughed.
"Probably." she smiled.
"I'm going back to bed." Meredith said stifling a yawn. "Don't stay up too late."
"Yes mum." Izzie smiled as Meredith turned and pointed at her and went upstairs.
"So, wanna pick up where we left off?" Derk asked as Meredith slid back under the covers.
"Men!" she huffed and turned over to sleep.
"I meant sleeping." Derek said innocently. He laughed as she slapped him.

"Big night last night Steven's?" Bailey asked as Izzie yawned into her coffee mug before taking a gulp.
"No. Just tired." Izzie explained. They had finished their rounds and were in the intern locker room receiving jobs from Bailey.
"Well you better get over it soon. You're on discharges with Karev." she said handing her and Alex folder.
"Uh huh." she nodded yawning again, covering it with her hand.
"Meredith, your on the brain tumor case with Dr. Shepherd, Cristina open heart surgery with Burke..."
"Yes." Cristina interrupted. "Sorry."
"Mhm, and George, lucky you, you get to assist me in the appendectomy patient." she said handing him a chart.
"Okay Dr. Model, lets get this over and done with." Alex said heading to the nurse's station.
"Okay Evil Spawn." she snapped back.
"Please, stop, you're too kind." he smirked.
"Urgh! You are so annoying. Did you know that?"
"You manage to remind me every day sweet pea."
"Okay, Dr Model I can live with but sweet pea? What is that?"
"A token of my undying love for you." Izzie stopped in her tracks, mouth open. "Relax Stevens, I'm joking." Alex said turning around grinning. She hated it when he grinned like that. It just emphasized his hotness. She could almost imagine her bones getting soft under her skin. Trouble was he knew exactly what he was doing to her.
"I knew that." she said catching up with him. It was going to be a long day but not for the same
reasons Izzie thought.
