Chapter Three- (Hope for the Hopeless- a Fine Frenzy.)
Okay, so I know it's been ages, but I changed this chapter so many times! I'm not really that happy with this one, but I think it's the best version I've done, so here you are! : )
"Good morning." Alex grinned, Addison's eyes fluttered open.
She smiled. "Hi."
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"A bit dizzy. And hungry, but it's nothing…" Addison sat up, Alex pulled the table out in front of her.
"You look so pale, Here." Alex handed her coffee and a plate with some toast on. "Olivia wouldn't let me take much from the cafeteria. If you're still hungry I can get you something else…"
"No." She shook her head. "This is great," She looked down at the plate and sipped the latte, "Mmm, Vanilla. Thank you, Alex. You didn't have to do this."
"I know." He smiled. They stared at each other for an inappropriate length of time, before Alex broke the gaze. "Eat your toast. No more fainting today."
She laughed. "Yes, sir!"

"Her blood pressure's still low, but it's rising slowly." Mark told Bailey and Alex.
"She wanted to order a CT scan." Alex told the doctors, they were all standing outside of Addison's room.
"A CT scan? Why?" The Chief frowned.
Alex shrugged. "She had a feeling."
"A feeling?" Bailey looked at him curiously. Feelings were never good. She, Stevens and Grey all had feelings yesterday and Addison had ended up in hospital.
"It's not like she can't afford it." Alex said, Mark nodded.
"Fine, Mark, order a CT scan for Addison, get a resident to help you." The Chief told him.
"Is Stevens free?" He asked, looking around at them all.
Bailey nodded. "She just finished surgery."
"Thanks." He smiled, leaving them.
"Miranda!" Addison's voice called from her room, they all looked through the window.
"Addison?" Alex frowned rushing to see what was wrong.
"A-Alex…" Addison was sobbing, trying to wipe the tears off her face.
"Hey, what's the matter?" He asked, brushing her hair behind her ear.
"It's so hot in here…" She cried, fanning herself.
"Addie… It's winter… And it's freezing in here." Bailey told her.
Addison sighed. "I'm sorry."
"No, Addie, it's okay, you're fine. I promise. Sloan's just gone down to order you a CT scan, okay. You'll be fine." Alex whispered, bringing her into an embrace.
"Alex, you're really hot…" She told him, he smirked and pulled back to look at her.
"Temperature wise, you're hot as in smoking… I mean boiling." She sniffed.
"Whatever you say, Addison." He smiled, stroking her hair.
"Her blood pressure's dropped again." Bailey told Alex.
He looked at Addison, "You're still really pale. It's probably the hypoglycaemia. You're still recovering… That's what's causing you to be too hot, emotional, and pale."
Addison giggled. "A-Alex…"
"Mood changes, slurred words. You could just be drunk, y'know." He smiled at her. She grinned back.

"Stevens!" Mark came striding up to Izzie.
"Doctor Sloan, hi." Izzie smiled as the plastic surgeon approached her.
"I need you to order a CT scan on Addison." He told her, looking at her in a strange way
"Yeah, sure. When does she want the scan?" Izzie asked, slightly confused at his expression.
"Just after lunch." He said, smiling.
"Okay." She grinned, walking away. What was up with him?
/
"Callliiiieeeee…"
"Addie?" Callie looked down into the wheelchair she was pushing, Addison was gazing back up at her, grinning. "What's wrong?"
"You look all funny."
Callie scoffed. "Thanks." She opened the door into the CT room. Izzie was there, waiting for them. "Here we go, Ads, Izzie is going to help you, I'll be in the other room."
"Okkayy." Addison smiled.
Callie turned to Izzie. "If she starts saying insulting things, just ignore her, she's an idiot."
Addison smiled. And Callie just rolled her eyes. "Have fun. I'll be here the whole time."
"Bye Callie!" Addison waved.
/
"Addison, keep still." Callie sighed.
"S-Sorry."
"Addison?" Izzie frowned. "Are you okay?"
"Is Alex there?" It sounded like she was crying again.
"No, Alex isn't here. Shall I page him?" Callie asked,
"No. It's fine. I'm fine."
"Okay, just stay still." Callie told her.
"How are we doing?" The Chief asked, walking into the room.
"Great. It's nearly over." Izzie told him.
"Thank God." Addison's voice came from the scanner.
"How is she?" Addison heard Mark's voice.
"Fine." Callie replied.
"Hey, Addie." Mark said into the speaker.
"Hi Mark!" She smiled enthusiastically.
Mark went to stand by Izzie. "Afternoon Stevens." He smiled.
"Hi." She replied, still confused by him.
"Addison?" Bailey's voice came into the scene.
"Miranda?" Addison said, "Miranda's here too?"
"Yeah, nearly everyone's here." Callie laughed.
"How is going in here?" Derek and Meredith opened the door.
"Is she okay?" Meredith asked.
"I'm fine!" Addison tells everyone in the other room.
"When are the scans going to be in?" Derek wondered.
"Ten minutes or so." Izzie replied.
"I have a surgery, will you page me when you get the results?" He asked. Callie and Izzie both nodded.
"Me too!" Meredith leaves with her boyfriend.
/
"Scans are in!" Izzie squealed excitedly.
Everyone stops their private conversations.
Callie looked closely at the scan. "Um…"
Izzie stays silent.
"Okay, what's wrong with me Callie?" Addison asked. "Cal?"
Bailey and The Chief lean in closer. Mark runs a hand through his hair.
"Hell." Bailey's eyes widen.
The Chief takes in a deep breath.
"Calliope Torres and Isobel Stevens, tell me what's wrong!" Addie demands.
But nobody replies.
*Mwhahaha* Evil laugh time : )
I know this is really short…
I liked the ending, because it's a cliff hanger. I think I have all the medical stuff sorted, so the next chapter should be up pretty quickly, but I'm going to update 'I Will Survive' first, and I have some One-Shots I've been desperate to write.
Reviews….? Please?
