Chapter 2

For the record..., there is NO WAY that I could EVER split up Arizona and Callie... I love them way to much :)

You could hear the staff talking all the way down the hall. Christina complaining about not being in surgery, Meredith and Derek being all cutsie, Mark hitting on Izzie.

"Look who's finally awake. Come join us Izzie and Burke cooked breakfast for us" Said Meredith.

"I'm not hungry " Said Alex

He walked out side and sat down by the pool dipping his feet in.

"What happened o make Karev so... different .. broken in a way?" Asked Burke.

'Its a really long story " Said Meredith

"No, it's not. We got married... exspecting me to die. But suprise! I lived. I got fired no thanks to Alex then I left seattle. Thats what happened to Alex"

Addison just sat in silence until finally she said "I'm going to go check on him and see if he's alright."

"So... anyone else think that Karev and Montgomery had a fling before she left" asked Erica

"The didnt have a "fling" said Derek... I would have known. Mark coughed.

"So... burke... hows Boston? " asked Derek

"Boston is... good. It doesnt have a few things that I really liked in seattle ... " eyeing christina "but... its good"

Owen put his arm around Christina which caused her to smirk and lean over and kiss him.


"You ok Alex..?"

"Yeah... I'm fine."

"you're not fine..."

"I just dont wanna play house with everyone. Izzie is not my wife and most of those people are not my friends. "

:"Whatever happened with Izzie anyway"

"She lived and left me... that's what happened"

"I see... is that blonde your girlfriend?"

"Teddy... no... why?"

"you seem like a couple thats all. ... when you're with her ... you smile... you laugh... and you cuddle with her. You arent exacly the teddy bear type"

"We are friends. that's all"

'So.,.. I miss anything in seattle?"

"Oh you mean besides George dying, Izzie getting cancer, Meredith and Derek getting married on a post it note, Sloan and little grey breaking up. Mercy west Mergeing with Seattle and her husband divorceing.. the cheif drinking again. . no not at all "

"That's a lot"

"Yeah well. Life happens ... How's LA?'

"Fine.... I'm actually seeing someone right now."

"oh yeah... thats cool... I'm going inside"

"Karev.."

"yeah?'

"I missed you"

"I missed you too. ' He said before walking inside


A week later

"Welcome to your first H. O. H Competion. We will start you off easy all you have to do... is hold on to this bar while hanging off the ground until everyone else has let go"

Izzie let go within the first few hours and then Merdith and Arizona followed. after 4 more hours Callie, Mark , Addison and Derek let go.

"Getting tired KArev? ' Burke asked

"Nope. how ya holding up Teddy? '

"Fine... "

Alex let go after burke did and then finally Teddy let go. which mean Erica won

Erica placed Mark and Callie on the block but then Mark won POV so Erica put Burke up


"Lex? "

"yeah? "

"Who are you voting out tonight? "

"Burke... I wouldnt vote Callie out... she might break my bones."

Teddy laughed "yeah I'm voting out Burke too."

"So... any progress with Addison?"

"No... and I'm not sure I want there to be. "

"But... you've loved her for three years."

'You've loved Owen for longer"

"Owen is with Christina"

"And Addison is with someone in LA... I dont stand a chance."

"I'm sorry Lex." She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. He hugged her back wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Wondering when they became so close.


"you know what I think? "

"No. What do you think?"

"I think that Teddy and Alex would make such a good couple"

"Maybe... "

"hey...Cal... what's wrong?"

"I just... I cant believe Erica's here... she really hurt me when she left... and now shes back and acting like nothing happened at all."

"you dont... still love her do you?"

"What? NO! Arizona .. I love you. More then I have ever loved anyone in my entire life... When I was with Erica I was bi,,, but with you I am gay. except I only have eyes for you .. I dont need to look or anything .. you are the most amazing woman on the entire planet"

"I love you to Calliope. That is exacly what I needed to hear... I was worried ... about her being here... and she's prettier then I imagined her to be..'

"She's got nothing on you" Callie said before leaning in and kissing her Beautiful girlfriend


"Addison thought you were my girlfriend..."

"What? " She lifted her head off his chest and looked at him

"yeah, on the second day here... she said we look like a couple. She said I only ever smile or laugh when you are around"

"We do not look like a couple!"

"I know!"

"Yes you do" Callie said

"I agree" Arizona chipped in

"No we dont"

"Ok. so there are three fold out lawn chairs here ... you could each have one to your self. But you guys share one instead, Teddy lying on your chest and you have your arms wrapped around her tightly. and thats always the case. You cuddle in bed, on coaches, outside... you do everything together... You give Mark dirty looks if he even so much as looks at her... She's always sitting on your lap, He practicly feels you up and you dont care! you are running your fingers through her hair right now. trust me you are coupley"

"I think its adorable " Said Arizona

Alex grinned a little bit knowing that the all of the things that callie just said were true. But still he pulled Teddy closer kissing the top of her head

"Hey guys"

"good ...MArk,.,, tell Karev here that him and Teddy act and look like a couple"

"It's true dude you do"

"We are simply comfortable around each other " Said Teddy.


"Well the votes are in I'm sorry Preston... you are going home "

Burke got up said his good byes and got on the plane. Arizona pulled Callie into a hug

"thank God " She said before kissing Callie. " I wouldnt survive this house with out you calliope."

"I wouldnt survive with out you period"

The exchange between the two made Erica wanna puke..

"Had Callie changed that much ? " thought Erica.

" i'm glad you stayed Torres " Karev said "the more friends I have in this house the better plus I couldnt stand being around an insane robbins here"

Callie laughed smiling at Alex. who had just wrappedc his arm around Teddy... which caused a look of discomfort on Addisons face. She made a mental note to her self to ask her about that later but for now... She just wanted to soke in the moment.
