Kissing
Meredith took a seat and he placed the bottle on the table. She looked at it for a moment before breaking out into laughter.
"What's funny?"
"You think…me…Izzie's the one who's pregnant."
"Izzie?"
"Yes, Izzie. I am not having a baby, so you can stop freaking out."
"Good, because I really was."
Meredith moved over onto his lap.
"I would tell you, you know."
"I really do like whole and healed Meredith." He kissed her on her nose.
"I do too." And she gave him a real kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too."
GAGA
Lexie was leaving. She had managed to convince another intern to give her a ride and a couch to stay on for the night. Things were looking up. It was still raining and she tried to walk fast.
"Lexie!" She turned to see George chasing after her. She tried to keep walking, but he was too fast and whirled her around by her shoulders.
"Why do you keep coming after me?"
"Because you never give me a chance to talk."
"George, I have a ride to catch." She started down the sidewalk again.
"I love you!"
GAGA
Christian sat by the front entrance perched like a hawk, looking for her perfect moment. She had been waiting for almost an hour and was thinking about giving up.
Then she saw him. Phelps was walking arm in arm with a pretty nurse. Yuck! Her plan was now in effect. She walked out the door, located a patch of ice, and sat down next to it.
"I can't believe this. I must be desperate." She saw them coming. "I must be really desperate."
The two walked through the door and she howled in pain. "It hurts! Ouch! I slipped on some ice and the pain!" She pretended to try to rise, but fell back down. "I can't get back up!"
Phelps was helping her up in an instant. She leaned on him for support, or pretended too. "I don't know if I could drive my motorcycle like this. Ouch!" Come on, take the bait.
"Milly, I better help her get home. I'll call you later." Bingo!
GAGA
Sarah walked into the apartment to find Mark on the couch reading a book. "What are you reading?" He stood up and hid the book behind his back.
"Nothing."
"You were reading something." She managed to grab it before he could react. "What's in Their Head: Helping Psychological Victims." She looked at him for a moment. "I'm-"
"You're not fine. I've seen it every night. Something is haunting you every night and I just want to help. Why do you never let anyone have contact with you? That nurse brushed your arm in surgery the other day and you almost took the scalpel to her throat."
"Just leave me alone!" She threw the book at his head, running to her room and slamming the door. "Why do you care?!"
GAGA
Alex woke up again, this time Izzie was in the room sitting in a chair.
"Alex?" She rose and grabbed his hand. "You're up?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm glad you're here."
"Where else would I be?"
He gave a smirk and placed his hand on her belly. "I just hope I make a good dad."
"You'll do just fine." And she kissed him, finding things a whole lot clearer now.
GAGA
Lexie grinded to a halt. She turned slowly. "You what?"
"I love you Lexie Grey."
"One more time?"
He walked up to her. "I've got a better idea." And he leaned in and kissed her, that first in the rain kiss that just made everything perfect as Lexie felt her heart put itself together again. "You still are moving out?"
She leaned in and kissed him again. "I think I might have a better idea." And hand in hand, the two walked back to his car.
GAGA
Phelps was driving Christina home when he turned and glanced at her. "I have to give you credit."
"Why?"
"That was pretty clever."
"I have no clue what you're talking about."
"Come on Yang. I'm a doctor, you're fine. It was all an act to get me to drive you home and away from that nurse." He pulled up in her driveway.
"And you went along with it?"
"I did."
"Why?"
"So I could do this." And he kissed her. And it felt different than when Burke kissed her. He had been more in control somehow, always being the first to pull away. Here Michael just seemed to meet her half-way. "So if I'm not going on a date with Milly tonight, is your hip feeling well enough we could go grab a drink?"
"I think it might be."
GAGA
Mark opened the door to find Sarah huddled on the corner of her bed. She wiped her eyes as he came and sat next to her.
"My dad wasn't the world's best dad. Can we just leave it at that, please? I think you're smart enough that you could fill in the gaps."
He gently placed his hand on her shoulder and paused. She didn't freak out. Instead, she turned and wrapped her arms around him crying and he held her.
"Thank you for caring." She looked up at him and he flashed his winning smile.
"Anytime." And he kissed her. The two spent the whole night just sitting on that bed, even when Sarah had fallen asleep. "Anytime."
