Babies
As everyone's shifts finished, and they all left, George walked to his exam room. The Chief had said he would have is scored as soon as possible so that George could partake in Dr. Anderson's case. He still couldn't believe she had chosen him!
Half of him was still thinking about Lexie and Alex. Izzie had told him that morning that they were back together. She seemed so happy. He dwelled on this, but as he opened the door to the exam room, he pushed everything out of his mind and set out to put his life back on track.

Bailey was greeted the next morning by the Chief. "You must be awfully proud, your five interns in the front running for the solo surgery."
"I will be when one of them gets it. They're not my interns anymore."
"But you're the one who taught them. It reflects good on you."

Sarah walked to her patient's room to find all five already gathered outside the door. She clasped the envelope in her hand and passed it to one of them. "I must offer you my sincere congratulations Mr. O'Malley. The Chief is very proud of you." He tore open the envelope and let out a huge whoop. Izzie hugged him.
"Now, if you will all follow me. I want you to meet our patient." She opened the door into a private room where a woman sat in the bed, her husband in a chair right next to her holding her hand. "This is Mrs. Murphy. And she is carrying septuplets."
"Who who are all these people?" She seemed a little twitchy, constantly fidgeting in her bed. Yang's face fell completely.
"More babies."
"Mrs. Murphy, I just wanted you to be introduced to the team that will be helping me. We'll leave you in peace now as everything seems fine." She walked out of the room and turned to the residents. "We will discuss the case in two hours sharp in the board room. Then you will find out what your real role in this is."

Alex ran up to Izzie as she headed down one of the halls. She seemed to have been avoiding him all day and he was questioning what was wrong. "Is!"
"Don't talk to me, you awful excuse for a human being!" She was mad.
"What's the matter?"
"George told me. Lexie! Lexie! You cheated on me with Lexie! Well, let's hope this is the last time I am foolish enough to date you, because I have had enough with your sorry, cheating ass." And she stormed off. And Alex took off to find Lexie.

Meredith met up with Derek
a few minutes after she was dismissed. "Hey."
"Hello."
"You seemed a little out of it yesterday. Is everything okay?"
"It's fine. You just get so tired of death after a while. Seven, seven years old and he gets picked to be one of the ones who die. I just don't understand it." Meredith just looked at him. He seemed like he could really use a lift.
"Well, I have to go." The cogs were already turning in her head as she rushed down the stairs to the perfect place for what she was thinking about.

Lexie sat calmly eating her
lunch, wondering why George hadn't talked to her yet. She hoped
that kissing Alex would make him jealous, but- maybe he was too busy
focusing on his exam. Yeah, that had to be it.
A fist slammed down, making her jump. "Listen, why the hell did you kiss me yesterday?! George told Izzie-"
"George talked to Izzie!" He went to her, but why didn't he come to talk to Lexie about it personally.
"And now she's mad at me! She broke up with me!"
"I'm really sorry Alex. I just wanted George-"she clasped her mouth. Wrong person to let information slip in front of.
"You have a crush on Bambi." Lexie desperately shook her head. "Just talk to Izzie for me please. Explain it to her because she won't listen to me." He started out. "And make sure you leave me out of your plans to get O' Malley jealous."
"Alright."

The group all gathered in the board room two hours later as Bailey joined them. Sarah walked in and drew seven circles on the board.
"Mrs. Murphy is going to be having seven children. As you can guess, it isn't safe for her to have a natural birth. The problem is these seven babies are going to be a little too small for a healthy child their age. They're going to need to stay here for a while before they can go home. Now, Mom has been splitting everything eight ways, and she is wiped. It will be a while before she can get back on her feet, about as long as the babies."
"What has this got to do with us?" Bailey shot Alex a look, which caused him to be quiet.
"There's only one of me, and seven babies. I talked to the Chief and we basically are putting the largest amount of trust in you residents. You will each be in charge of one baby, and I mean completely in charge. You call the doses, you keep that baby alive. You alert someone is something is wrong. They are your responsibility."
"So we're babysitting?"
"Yes, Dr. Yang, you are. You will need to be ready the moment she goes into labor. Bailey and I with the five of you means seven of us. I heard you did something similar with Dr. Montgomery, but we're going and extra mile here." She paused for a moment. "I want to let it be known that I haven't lost a single patient of her child yet, and I certainly don't plan on it. Don't let me down. You'll be paged when the time comes."

Meredith met Derek on his way out of the hospital. She was going back on forth on doing what she had had planned, but she remembered she was whole and healed. She grabbed his hand. "Come on. I have a surprise for you."
GAGA
Izzie was waiting for Alex
when he left the hospital. "Alex-"
"It's fine. I wouldn't have believed me either." He wrapped his arm around her. "Let's go home."
GAGA
Meredith pulled up to the dock and the two exited her car.
"What are we doing here?" She pulled two ferry boat tickets out of her purse. "You just know me too well." And he kissed her.
GAGA
Callie and Erica were at the apartment. Yang had recently been evasive and slept on the couch at Meredith's. The two sat drinking.
"I love you." Erica whipped her head around. Callie swallowed, wanting to hit herself. She had done it again. Thrown herself into deep water before Erica had even put a foot in. Damn! Hadn't she learned from George?
The two looked at one another for an n uncomfortable moment before Erica spoke. "I love you too." And they kissed.
GAGA
Lexie was pacing in their apartment. George would be back any minute. She had told Izzie everything, and was convincing either her or Alex would relay to George what happened. But as George walked in he showed no sign of having a clue.
"George, I want to tell you why I kissed Alex."
"Sure. Go ahead." He seemed hesitant.
"It's because-"and then his pager went off.
"We'll have to talk when I get back. I'll see ya' later." And he was gone.
