Mark hangs up the phone. They are still in the office and Meredith is still sitting on the chair in front of the desk. "They're bringing her in now. I can't think about this right now, I need to do surgery." Mark and Meredith's pagers go off and they rush off. Cut to the pit where the paramedics are bringing in a man on a stretcher, he's a burn victim. The flesh on his face and neck seems to be melting off.

The patient is screaming, "I am going to sue them!" Meredith and Mark run up to the stretcher.

The EMT fills them in on the patient's details, "Michael Downing, 24, burn to the face from a hazardous corrosive substance, was de-coned at the site. Here are the MSDS." The EMT hands Mark a packet of papers.

Michael, still screaming, "I can't see! I can't see! Please tell me you'll be able to save my eyesight."

"Mr. Downing try to stay calm, I'm Dr. Sloan and this is Dr. Grey, we are going to get you into surgery right away." He turns to Meredith, "Dr. Grey, please look through these to see how long we have to save this man's eye sight. I am pretty sure we are going to have to flush his eyes before we go into surgery." Meredith takes the packet and walks along the stretcher as Mark wheels him off. They get onto the elevator as a nurse runs over with the eye flushing contraption (yeah I don't know the technical name). They hook it up to the gurney. Meredith puts towels around his chest. "Ok Mr. Downing, we are going to put these lenses on your eyes and we're going to run water to flush out your eyes, just relax, we are going to do everything in our power to save your eyesight."

"I am suing that damn company, it blew up right in my face," Michael says.

"We are going to have to get him right into surgery as soon as this eye flush is done, it's getting worse," Meredith says to Mark.

"You'll be able to fix my face?"

"We are going to try," Mark answers. No use in giving him any false hope.

"I'm supposed to be getting married next week," Michael says in a panic. Mark and Meredith just look at each other.

Derek is in the OR. "Looks like an aneurysm burst. She got in just in time. Looks like she's going to be ok." The machines start going crazy. Derek and Alex quickly look up. "She's coding, Dr. Karev start compressions."

Alex rushes to the other side of the table and starts CPR. Alex yells, "She's crashing quickly!"

Addison is beginning to take the baby out. George stands there stunned. George is holding Allison's hand. Addison holds the baby up. "Can you cut the cord, Dr. O'Malley?"

George walks over and cuts the cord and smiles. Addison brings the baby over to the table to clean him up. George follows Addison to watch. The baby starts crying. Allison looks relieved and smiles. George walks back over to Allison's head. "He's perfect."

Alex is still doing compressions in the OR. The patient flat lines.

"Dr. Karev, call it."

"Time of death 1014."

Mark and Meredith are in the OR with Michael on the table. Mark wipes his hand over his mouth and says, "We are going to be in here for a while."

"Poor guy, what a thing to happen right before your wedding," Meredith says looking down at the patientt.

"He probably won't be ready for next week but I am pretty sure I can eventually get him as close to back to normal as I can. The damage doesn't seem as bad as it looks."

Something catches Meredith's eye in the gallery, she glances up. It's Cristina and Izzie, Izzie does a rocking baby movement with her arms to signal that the baby was born. Meredith nods and focuses back on the surgery. Back up in the gallery Bailey sees them and makes them leave. They're heading down the hallway of the surgical floor passing all the ORs, Derek and Alex walk out of a door and walk right into Izzie and Cristina, "Ouch," they yelp.

"Oh I am so sorry, girls, I'm a little distracted."

"Dr. Shepherd, you may not want to say things like that as you're walking out of an OR," Izzie says.

"Oh yes of course," Derek says, half in a fog, his mind is obviously elsewhere.

"Well, we're supposed to be in the pit, "Cristina grabs Izzie's arm and they walk away. "This busy stuff better stop soon, it's like I haven't seen Burke in a week."

"Aww you miss him, that's so sweet."

"Oh Shut it, he just makes really good coffee…and toast." Ok maybe she misses him a little bit. They get onto the elevator and Burke is standing there, Izzie smiles at Cristina.

"Hey, Dr. Burke, we were just talking about your coffee," Izzie says with a huge grin on her face. Cristina elbows Izzie. Burke smiles.

"Hello Dr. Stevens and Dr. Yang."

"She means we were just talking about your 5 o'clock surgery that you're going to let me scrub in on tonight," Cristina says.

"We'll see." The elevator doors open and Burke walks out. Izzie lets out a laugh and Cristina just stares ahead.

George is in Allison's room with her as Addison brings her the baby. He has medium brown hair and big blue eyes. George can't keep his eyes off Allison and how she is just glowing. He smiles at her and she smiles back. Addison notices something going on between them.

"I have some other patients to tend to, Dr. O'Malley I don't mind you staying in here but if Dr. Bailey finds you, you're on your own."

"Thanks, Dr. Montgomery." Addison just shakes her head and leaves the room.

"He's so perfect, he can't be from Derek," Allison says, she is glowing.

"So what's his name?" George asks, changing the subject from Derek to something a little happier.

"Joshua Ryan Montgomery, the most spoiled kid in the world."

"I am not sure that will all fit on his driver's license," George teases.

"Who said I am letting him leave the house?" Allison jokes.

George looks at Josh and talks baby talk, "Don't worry Josh, I'll spring you free once in a while. Mommy can't keep you cooped up forever." George's beeper goes off. He looks down on it and his smile goes away. "Dammit, I have to go. I'll try to make it back here later."

"I'll be here. Thanks again, George, for everything." George takes her hand and opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out, they get lost in each other's eyes, she pulls him closer to her and kisses him. It's soft but passionate but it doesn't last long because the baby cries. George takes a step back and walks out.

The pit where is pure mayhem. Bailey is trying to round everyone up to give out orders, "Where is O'Malley? He got paged like everyone else." Cristina, Alex, and Izzie just look at each other and back at Bailey and shrug their shoulders. "Someone knows something and you're not telling me. You all are going to pay if O'Malley doesn't…"

George runs over and joins the group, "I got here as fast as I could, Dr. Bailey."

"Maybe they should move the baby floor a little closer to the pit then, O'Malley," Bailey retorts. George blushes and Alex pats him on the back. They follow Bailey out to the ambulance bay.

George says to Izzie as low as he can, "She kissed me. I am so tired but she kissed me."

Izzie whispers back, "Way to go, George, I'm happy for you."

EMT reads off the patient's information, "This is Rebecca Schultz, 13, hit by a car, has a broken leg, she is also bleeding from the back of the head from where she hit it on the pavement. She's been in and out of consciousness."

Bailey takes one look at Rebecca's leg and turns to Alex, "Dr. Karev, page Dr. Torres." Alex runs off to make the page. Bailey turns to Rebecca with a smile on her face, "Rebecca, my name is Dr. Bailey. Your parents are on their way, we are going to take you to get some tests done before we get your leg taken care of."

"Ok."

Callie sees Bailey and walks over. Bailey whispers into her ear, they both look at the leg and back at each other. "Dr. Karev, please get Rebecca in for a CT scan as well as x-rays. Dr. Bailey and I will meet you in there."

"Sure thing, Dr. Torres." Alex wheels Rebecca off, Callie follows.

"I am going to have to handle this as well, you interns better stay out of trouble," Bailey says sternly. Bailey rushes off to catch up with Callie and Alex. As soon as Bailey is out of sight Izzie and Cristina huddle around George.

Izzie says, "Ok, we want details."

Derek and Addison are walking down the hallway together. Addison says, "We will get the results back in a few days. Do you want to go see him?"

Derek shakes his head, "No, I am not going to see him until I know if he is mine or not."

"It's hard to tell whose he might be, he has blue eyes but so did Allison when she was born."

"Addison, I appreciate you trying to help but I really do not want any information about this kid," Derek walks away.

Mark and Meredith are in surgery.

Mark sighs, "Well, this is all I can do for today. It looks like he's going to be just fine."

"Hopefully he will get his eyesight back."

"We will find out when he wakes up," Mark takes one last look at the patient before going to scrub out.

"You really are a different person when she is around."

"Yeah I really screwed up didn't I? Let's get this guy to post op."

George, Izzie, and Cristina are eating lunch. They're all laughing as Meredith sits down to join them. "What's so funny?" Meredith inquires.

"George is running on like 4 days of no sleep and it's starting to catch up with him," Izzie explains.

"So Mer, has Derek gone to see the baby yet?" Cristina asks.

"I don't think he wants to. I feel bad for Mark, I think he really loves her."

Cristina and Izzie get all uncomfortable and clear their throats. "Uh, well, sucks to be him I guess," Izzie says bluntly.

Meredith starts to notice everyone is acting a little strange, "Ok, someone is going to tell me what's going on here."

Cristina and Izzie look at George, "I'm in love with Allison," he says then quickly changes the subject, "Do you want to go see Josh?"

"Aww his name is Josh?" Izzie gushes. Cristina kicks Izzie underneath the table. Izzie rubs her leg with a look of "ouch" on her face.

Cristina continues, "She means we better not get involved with the drama."

Derek comes over and sits down with them, "Ah there you are Meredith, I haven't seen you all day."

"I was in surgery with Sloan all day."

"I see."

Meredith signals with her eyes to Cristina, George, and Izzie to go. Cristina gets the hint, "We're going to go."

Yeah we have a baby to see," Izzie says. Izzie, George, and Cristina get up and rush off.

Derek looks to Meredith, "Here we are alone finally."

"Almost alone, just with other people around."

"All I see is you." God, Derek that was so corny, "I've missed you, I know I haven't been myself lately. I want to make it up to you."

"It's ok, Derek, I understand. I've been stressed out too because of this whole thing."

"You're not getting out of this that easily. We are going to go out on a date, a real date, with romance and flowers and feeling you up and all that other stuff that you want."

Meredith giggles, "You sure know the way into a girl's heart, you know that."

Izzie, George, and Cristina are in the baby wing looking at all the babies. Josh is right in the first row of babies from the window. George points to him, "There he is, right there. Joshua Ryan."

"He's adorable!" Izzie squeals.

"He's so…..McStreamy," Cristina adds. Izzie and George both look at Cristina. "Fine, he's McBaby until we find out who the father is and then he's getting a better nickname."

"He looks like he could be either Derek's or Mark's. Who does she want to be the father, George?" Izzie inquires.

"Sloan, she's not too fond of Shepherd," George replies.

"And yet she slept with him…twice," Cristina says.

"Yeah, we don't need to be reminded," George grumbles.

Cristina's beeper goes off. She looks down, "It's Burke, gotta go. Don't stare at the babies too long, you might catch the fever." Cristina rushes off. George and Izzie take one last look before they too head out.

Mark is standing in Allison's doorway. She doesn't notice him yet because she is talking to a nurse. The nurse walks out and she looks up and sees him. She's not happy to see him. He walks in and sits down on the chair next to her bed. "Ally, you make me a better person. Ever since you've been here I've felt more alive. I know I've messed up but let me make it up to you." No please don't look at me like that, he thinks to himself.

"Mark stop right there, I don't want to hear any more of it. It's too late for you and me. You came here to be with Addy, so go be with her. We will never be again." It pains her that he is trying so hard but she will not let herself make the same mistake she had made once before. She worked so hard to repair when he had broken her so many times before and she finally feels like she is moving forward.

Mark stands up and puts his face really close to hers and looks into her eyes. She tries to look away but he pulls her face back to face him and holds it there. They have an intense moment of just looking into each other's eyes and a tear rolls down Allison's cheek. Mark wipes it away. "I love you, Allison." Mark walks away and out of the door.

The interns in are the locker room changing out of their scrubs and into their regular clothes.

"So I never got a chance to react to the bombshell you dropped earlier, George," Meredith mentions.

"Yeah? I know what you're thinking, but she's really great."

"I just don't want to see you get hurt."

George is just about fed up with everyone thinking that Allison is such an awful person. He wishes that for once they would let him live his life. Maybe she will be leaving soon, but he wants to enjoy the time he has with her while she's still here. What is so wrong about that? "What makes you think she's going to hurt me? You don't even know her. You guys never like anyone that I do, you just don't want to see me happy." George grabs his bag, slams the locker door, and storms off.

Cristina looks at Meredith in shock, "Way to go, Mer, you hurt baby bear's feelings."

"How was I supposed to know he'd get so upset?"

Izzie walks over to them, "Alex and I are going to Joe's, you guys wanna come with us?"

"Hell yeah, I need a drink or twelve," Cristina says as she slings her bag over her shoulder

"You guys go ahead, I'll meet you there," Meredith says. Alex, Izzie, and Cristina leave and Meredith walks out of the locker room to look for Addison. Addison is standing by the nurse's station looking at a patient's chart. "Addison, can I talk to you about something?"

"Yeah, sure Meredith, what's up?"

"How are you holding up with this whole thing? The only reason I ask is because you're almost in the same boat as I am right now and I just want to see if you feel how I do."

Addison is honored that someone finally thought about her feelings in this. She is amazed that it is Meredith to show interest, she sighs, "I am hurt by everyone involved. It just hurts, yeah hurt is the best word for it. I was angry but that has passed but I am still very hurt by the fact that my sister not only slept with my husband but Mark as well. Yes technically I took Mark away from her but he was still with me when she did it. I know it sounds so messed up but it all comes down to the fact that here I am divorced and alone and hurting from the inside out. I hope that answered your question for you because I think I confused myself."

"I understand, you didn't confuse me too much. I am just so worried that this baby is going to be Derek's and we will have to deal with all the drama that comes next." She pauses, "Not to mention that George now has a thing for your sister."

"Yeah I sensed that earlier. She's going to be leaving after she finds out who the father is so you won't have anything to worry about."

Allison is in her room where she is sitting up in bed and reading books about having a newborn baby. She hears a knock on the door. She looks up from her book. "Come in!"

Richard opens the door, steps inside, and closes the door behind him. He walks over to Allison and gives her a kiss on the cheek. He sits down in the chair next to her bed. "So many things have happened in this hospital since you've gotten here and we haven't had a chance to talk."

"Yeah I know, you had that guy with the heart thing and then I went into labor."

"So I have been filled in on your situation," he begins. Allison opens her mouth to speak but he interrupts. "Let me finish." Allison closes her mouth. "Now I don't want this baby growing up without his father and it just so happens my assistant is retiring soon and I was wondering if you wanted to take her place. You don't have to answer me right away but think about it. You can get back to me before you leave…or stay." He smiles

"Before a few days ago I would have told you I'm sorry but no thank you, however, recent events have made me think that maybe Seattle isn't so bad."

"So…you're in?" he asks anxiously.

"I'm in," she says with a smile. Richard gives her a hug, shakes her hand, and walks out of the room.
