Izzie opened the door to the house and stepped inside.

"I'm home!"

"Good to know, but can you please shut up?"

"Sorry, didn't know you were sleeping!"

She tried to make her way into the kitchen as quiet as possible to get something to eat, but when she looked inside the fridge, she decided she would rather let a pizza service cook for her.

It had been another two days and she was getting more restless from day to day. They probably threw her application right into the bin… laughing!

While waiting for her pizza, she took out ice cream and ate the whole thing. Damn the calories. Her day had been bad enough, she didn't have to worry about such trivial things as calories. Dr. Hahn was the doctor of the patient she stole the heart from for Denny and now she hated Izzie. Dr. Hahn told her that she would call every single hospital she thought Izzie applied to and tell them what she did. So now she had nothing left. She'd just lay low for a while and hope, that Dr. Hahn wouldn't stay mad at her forever… yeah, big chance there. She could write off cardio in this hospital or in any other hospital.

When the pizza came, she had already made three rounds of muffins.

Weeks went by and she knew she had to think about a new specialty. She would probably go with the pregnant ladies, Addison had always said she'd be very good at it. Brains weren't what she wanted. But perhaps plastics? No. Dr. Hahn had quit, but Christina was still there and would always a little bit more and a little bit better than her.

She was walking through the halls of the hospital, looking for Bailey to ask her what she should do. Bailey always had a good answer. She was Bailey after all, wiser than anybody else in this hospital, including the chief.

"Dr. Bailey! I need to talk to you!" she said when she spotted her in a conference room doing paper work.

"Is this about Dr. Hahn again? The chief hasn't replaced her jet, you and Dr. Yang just have to wait until he does."

"No it's not about that, just indirect. You know me." she said, sitting down across from her.

"You know me better than my own mother. I really want to be a cardio surgeon, so a few weeks ago I send a few applications out to other hospitals, because here is Christina and well, Christina is Christina and my friend and I can't compete with her, I hate it. So I thought a change of scenery would do me good, would give me better chances and would make me a little bit more hardcore. But with everything that happened with Erica Hahn…"

"She left, that doesn't change anything for you."

"It does, she phoned every single hospital in the country I could be interested in to make sure I will never get a job as a doctor, especially a heart surgeon."

"So you wanted to leave, but now you have to stay, what do I have to do with that?"

"I can't do cardio under these circumstances any longer, not with Christina breathing down my neck. You know me, what else am I good at?"

"Seriously?" Izzie had to laugh.

"What?"

"You said 'seriously'. Sorry. What do you think?"

"You wanted to leave and didn't tell me? An attending gossips about you and makes your name dirty and you didn't tell me and now you are asking me for advice?"

"I am sorry I didn't tell you, but I wanted to only tell everybody about this if I was taken by anyone."

"But you got no good answers?"

"I got no answers at all, because of Erica Hahn and what I did back then."

"Izzie, you're a very capable doctor, you can do anything. I've seen many residents, specializing too early and regretting it later. Up until a few weeks ago you didn't specialize in anything, you learned in all the fields equally, what will make you a better doctor in the end, because you are going to be able to see the whole picture. Take your time, think about it some more, eventually you'll know what you have to do, what will make you happy. Stevens, you're a great surgeon, but you should have told me about what Hahn did, I would've kicked her ass." Izzie smiled and Bailey continued with her paperwork

"Thanks."

"Now get out of here. You still have time."

Izzie wasn't so sure about that, but she would do her best.

It was seven in the morning and her 36 hour shift was finally over, she changed and closed her locker.

"Iz hi!"

"Mer, are you leaving now too?"

"Yeah, I'm off now, finally!"

"I thought this shift was never going to end."

They drove home and as they walked in, Meredith took the mail inside with her.

"Hey Iz wait, here's something for you."

"What?"

She went over to Mer and took the letter out of her hand.

"Shit!"
