Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Grey's Anatomy, but I do own the box sets.

So this is set after the season 5 finale of Grey's when both George and Izzie flat-line. How will the staff of Seattle Grace Hospital cope with the aftermath of what happens? Will their lives go back to normal? All characters and pairings are in from season 5, mainly focused on Mer/Der and Mer/Christina/Alex/Izzie/George friendship.

Everyone in the room sighed as they failed to revive the patient. The doctor looked up at the clock as he put down the scalpel onto the tray beside him.

"Time of death, 5:29 pm," he sighed as he walked out of the room. His heart ached knowing that he'd have to be the one to tell the patient's friends and family the bad news.

********************

Everybody sighed as the sound of a steady heartbeat filled the room.

"Thank god," she whispered to herself, she didn't know if she could handle loosing the patient. They had grown so close over the years. Tears of happiness were filing in everyone's eyes. The patient's eyes slowly began to flutter open again.

********************

She stayed by his side while the nurse's tidied up the OR and sewed him back up. Tears were pouring down her face as she kissed his hand. She couldn't believe that he had actually died, she couldn't believe that she had spent the entire day with him and not known that it was him. He was her best friend for god's sake; he was part of their family.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry George," she whispered as she wiped the tears away with her free hand. Her other hand was still holding his hand just like she had been doing all through surgery. She didn't want to let him go, not just yet.

********************

As she opened her eyes she slowly looked around the room, she was surrounded by Bailey, Christina, Alex and the Chief. Alex rushed over to kiss the top of her head as soon as he realised she had woken up.

"Welcome back Dr. Stevens," said Richard standing at the end of the bed. She smiled weakly at them.

"You gave us quite a scare there, Stevens. Better not do it again," joked Bailey who was standing by the right of her bed.

"Meredith? George?" she asked. They all knew what she meant but she was too tired to talk for too long. Alex and Christina looked at Bailey and Richard not knowing what to say to her. Not knowing how to tell her that her best friend had been hit by a bus.

"O'Malley was in an accident this morning, he's just gone into surgery with Grey," said Bailey. Izzie looked sad as her eyes filled with tears threatening to spill. She couldn't say anything so she just nodded her head. Alex kissed the top of her head again and everyone went silent.

Okay, so now I'm going to go and hide so that people don't kill me. Just remember its Grey's Anatomy – there can't e two happy endings! I know this chapter is only short but they will get longer.

Thanks for reading and please R&R
