-1Chapter 9
"Hey, I'm sorry to wake you, but I thought you should know that Mrs. Adams coded a few minutes ago and they couldn't revive her."
Izzie opened her eyes; she was in an on-call room. Her neck ached from sleeping on the uncomfortable bunk.
"Thanks Olivia. What time is it?"
"Just after seven."
"Thanks, have you seen Dr. Karev this morning?"
"Yeah I saw him about an hour ago. Do you want me to page him for you?"
"No that's alright I'll find him."
"Okay."
Sitting up in the bed Izzie places her hand on her flat stomach and sighs. She realizes that Olivia is still standing there looking at her like she wants to say something.
"Is there anything else?"
"Uh….I just wanted to tell you that I know I'm a big gossip."
"I'm sorry?"
"You don't have anything to worry about. I don't plan on saying anything; after all I do owe you in a way."
"What exactly are you talking about?"
Just as Olivia is about to speak she moves to the side to greet the person who is walking down the hall.
"Oh, good morning Dr. Shepard."
"Good morning nurse Harper." He notices Izzie getting up. "Did you sleep here last night?"
"I'm sure I must have, my neck is killing me."
"Why didn't you sleep on the couch in your office?"
"Believe me I wish I had. I must have been so tired that I was willing to sleep anywhere."
"Chief…" A voice calls from behind him.
"Yang, did you have a chance to look over Mr. Haggerty's films?"
"I'm heading there right now."
"Maybe I'll go with you." He turns to Izzie. "You should take a hot shower; it'll help the sore neck."
"Thanks, that's a good idea."
Derek and Cristina disappear down the hallway as Izzie heads for the elevator. As the doors open Meredith is standing there about to get off.
"Oh hey Mer."
Meredith brushes past Izzie and continues down the hall.
"Nice to talk to you." Izzie says to herself.
She steps on the elevator and just as the doors are about to shut a hand catches the door and he steps in.
"Good morning Dr. Sloan." The doors close.
"Dr. Sloan? Why so formal Izzie?"
"Sorry…Good morning Mark."
"That's better. Were you on call last night?"
"Yes, I think so."
"What? You think so?"
"Yes, I was on call. I didn't get much sleep."
"Well you look like you've been having hot on-call room sex." He says.
"What? Why do you say that?" She asks.
"You have sex hair….and your top is on inside out." He smirks.
"Oh crap!"
"It's not a big deal; people do know you guys have sex. You are married it's allowed." He says as he steps out of the elevator and walks away.
