"What?" George aggrivativly replied.
"You can't just leave your stuff around the house. Lindsay's coming today. I want her to feel welcome." Izzie said.
"What do I leave around the house? I don't remember leaving anything." George said walking out of his room.
"You left your underwear on the laundry room floor." Izzie said handing George a pair of boxers.
"That's because I needed to wash those. Those aren't clean."
"What," Izzie yelled as she threw the underwear at George.
"Now I hope you learned your lesson. Don't touch my stuff!"
"I won't. I just have to go boil my hand."
"You go do that." George said shutting the door.
The doorbell rang.
"She's here!" Izzie called running towards the door.
"Mer! George! Get out here!" Izzie called.
"Coming" Meredith called.
"I'm here" George said walking towards the door.
"Now, be nice and polite. Don't be mean."
Izzie opened the door.
Meredith gasped. At the door was a 12 year old girl who looked, almost, exactly like Izzie. She had Izzie's eyes. Her hair was brownish blonde and was wavy, like Izzie's. You could tell they were related.
"Lindsay!"
"Aunt Izzie." Lindsay called as Izzie embraced her in a hug.
"How is my favorite niece doing?"
"I'm your only niece!" Lindsay said with a laugh.
"That doesn't mean you can't be my favorite!"
Lindsay just rolled her eyes.
"Lindsay, this is Meredith and George."
"Hi," Lindsay shyly replied.
"Hi Lindsay, it's nice to meet you." Meredith said.
"Hey Lindsay." George said.
"Here Lindsay. Let me show you to the guest room." Izzie said leading Lindsay upstairs.
Once they got out of earshot, of Meredith and George, Lindsay started to get more comfortable.
"When was the last time I saw you?" Izzie asked.
"About a year ago." Lindsay said. Her face suddenly serious.
"Oh ya, sorry." Izzie said, sympathy on her words.
"No, it's fine. It was a long time ago." Lindsay said. Trying to cheer Izzie up.
"Ya, it was. But stil..." Izzie said her voice trailing off. "I really missed you"
"I missed you, too" Lindsay said with a smile.
"We can't got another year without seeing each other."
"Don't worry, I don't think we will." Lindsay said. "Considering, that I can travel by myself now."
"Well here's your room."
"Wow! It's big." Lindsay exclaimed.
"Well, I wanted the best for my favorite niece."
Lindsay rolled her eyes.
"Well your my favorite Aunt." Lindsay said.
"I'm your only Aunt." Izzie said, "But I guess that doesn't mean I can't be your favorite."
Lindsay smiled.
"Is it okay if I take a nap?" Lindsay asked. "It's been a long day."
"Sure, I'll be downstairs if you need me." Izzie said. Kissing Lindsay on the cheek and then walking downstairs, where she was greeted by George and Meredith.
"So, what do you think of her?" Izzie asked.
"She's adorable," Meredith said.
"She's a lot like you." George said.
"I'm not sure how I should take that. Considering it's coming from you." Izzie said.
"What are you going to do about work?" Meredith asked.
"Well I thought that she'd come with me." Izzie said.
"Come with you to work? You can't babysit while you're working." George said.
"She's 12. She doesn't need to be babysat. Besides, she can always sit in the on-call area and read if she wants. Or play her gameboy or something. Plus, it's not like I'll be working ALL the time."
"But we have a 48 hour shift." Meredith said.
"She can sleep in the on-call area, unlike us, who have no time to sleep." Izzie said.
"You're sure about this?" George asked.
"100 positive."
"Well, I guess I could help watch her if you need me." Meredith said.
"Me, too. I guess." George said. "But only if you stop touching my underwear."
"Why did you touch his underwear?" Meredith asked Izzie.
"I didn't know it was dirty." Izzie said.
"Well you shouldn't be touching my stuff in the first place!"
The next morning 4:30 am...
"Lindsay, it's time to wake up." Izzie said shaking Lindsay awake.
"I hate you," Lindsay grumbled.
"I know, but you have to wake up so I'm not late for work."
"No, sun not up yet. Too early." Lindsay said sleepily.
"Come on" Izzie said turning on the light.
"I got absolutly no sleep. I think I'm going to be sick, that's how sleep deprived I am"
"I can't be late. Come on, come on." Izzie said pulling the covers off of Lindsay.
"Fine! I'm up!"
"Okay, I'll be downstairs. Hurry up."
"Ya, ya, ya" Lindsay said getting out of bed.
Lindsay put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She walked to the bathroom brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. She grabbed a sweatshirt before going downstairs.
"I'm awake and I'm dressed." Lindsay said to Izzie as she sat down in the kitchen.
"Very good. Now you have to eat."
"Good morning." George said, a little to cheerfully for Lindsay's taste.
"Uhh" Lindsay groaned as she buried her head in her arms.
"She's not a morning person." Izzie said.
"How can I not be a morning person when it's not even morning yet!" Lindsay said.
"Well, it's true. You aren't a morning person."
"Neither were you last time I checked." Lindsay said her head still in her arms.
"Well, I've changed. Having to get up early to work has changed me." Izzie said.
"I haven't seen any changes." George said.
"Well you just haven't looked close enough."
"Okay." George said unconvincingly.
"Mer, hurry up!" Izzie called.
"I'm here." Meredith called. "Don't worry, I already ate."
The same morning 9am..."I'll be right back. I'm just going to go to the bathroom." Lindsay said to Izzie.
"Okay."
Lindsay started walking down the hospital hallways, but then turns around and comes back.
"Where is the bathroom exactly?" Lindsay asked.
"Down that hall then turn right. It has a bathroom sign on it, you won't miss it." Izzie said.
"Okay." Lindsay walked off.
Izzie decided that she should follow Lindsay just incase she ended up going in the wrong direction. She remembered the first time she was here, everything looked the same. She never knew which way she was going.
Lindsay turned right and started walking. She obviously didn't see the bathroom sign and turned right again. Izzy then realized which way they were headed... towards Dennys room.
"Lindsay wait!" Izzie called. Trying to get her attention before she saw Denny. It worked.
"What is it Aunt Izzie?" Lindsay asked.
"You were only supposed to turn right once. You turned right before the bathroom. Silly goose." Izzie said.
"Oh, thanks." Lindsay said with a smile. She started walking towards the bathroom again.
"You know how to get back?" Izzie asked.
"Ya I know how to get back." Lindsay said then walked into the bathroom.
Izzie walked back. Meredith, Cristina and George were all sitting there talking.
"You guys, I have a favour to ask you." Izzie said.
"What is it?" Meredith asked.
"Don't let Lindsay go near Denny's room." Izzie said.
"Why?" Cristina asked.
"Just, don't let her go near there." Izzie said again.
"Fine, we won't let her go there." Cristina said.
"Promise?"
All 3 promised and Izzie smiled.
"Thank you."
