A week after Callie found about George and Izzie she packed up her things and moved back to Miami. She needed her family. Her father took care of everything she needed and had her divorced finalized within a week. George had even flown out to Miami to see her, but her father had him escorted off the premises. She was done with George. Everything that she ever once felt for him was washed away with her tears. George O'Malley was simply a part in her life she wished to forget. And over time she did.
She spent three years in Miami, healing and learn how to become herself again. She finished up her residency at one of Miami's top hospitals and was now a full-grown surgeon. Her father had purchased her a beautiful that stood right near a lake that she liked to gaze at every morning over a cup of coffee. She was happy, she had gotten her life back. Sure, she missed Seattle, the rain, the gloom, the people. She missed Addie and she even missed Mark. She would talk to Addie every week to see how she was doing, and how she was. Every time they called they could hear the sadness in each other's voices. They visited each other during the holidays. Addison lived in L.A. now so she took a trip out there every holiday. Her life was normal, her life was everything she wanted it to be. Or so she thought.
It was a regular Tuesday morning, she started off her day with her usual morning coffee. After getting ready and having breakfast she hopped in her car and made her way to Mercy hospital. She loved her job, she got to be a badass bone crusher and still have a life. Immediately she made friends at the hospital. Her first day she met a women named Lucy was the hospitals OB-GYN, she reminded her a lot of Addie. She also befriended a lot of the male staff, they weren't too shabby down there in Miami, but she already knew that.
She was standing at the nurse's station when Lucy made her way beside her and began filling out patient charts.
"I have a patient, 16 year old girl, didn't even know she was pregnant, now the baby is in distress and she needs to go into emergency C-section" Callie sighed and shook her head,
"It's amazing what kids seem to get themselves into these days" Lucy nodded,
"I hear ya sister, hey did you hear about the new Cardio fellow that just transferred?" Callie looked up at her for the first time and shook her head,
"No, where are they coming from?" Lucy hesitated before answering, Callie had told her all about her past in Seattle, but she thought it was better for her to know,
She took a deep breath before answering, "Seattle Grace" Callie's head shot up, she wracked her brain for who could be coming from Seattle.
"Are you serious? Who is -" She was cut off by Chief Mason asking for their attention.
"I'd like to introduce our new Cardio Attending, Alex Karev" Callie's head swirled in the Chief's direction and she stood there with her mouth hanging open. She watched as Alex and the Chief shook hands.
She couldn't believe her eyes, the first person she had seen from Seattle in three years was standing before her.
