I'm really sorry that this took really really long to update. I started my tests at school and well I have been revising and stressing about everything so I might take time out to do that more often consequentially putting this story on hiatus or just getting worse with updates.

Also I'm sorry because this was a pointless chapter and there was hardly any Addex.

"Alex wants to have kids" Addison stated as she sat down around the table that Callie had taken in the cafeteria.

Callie immediately stopped eating; her salty snack dropping it into the ice cream tub she was using as a condiment. After blinking in shock a couple of times and then fishing her pickle out of her 'special sauce' only then did she manage a hushed "When did this happen?"

Addison looked up from the mosaic pattern of the table "I don't know. We were just laying down yesterday talking about stuff and then it just came up"

"How?" she asked spinning her half eaten pickle around in the tub.

Addison began to play with a loose thread attached to the cuff of her sleeve. Callie put two and two together

"You asked him didn't you? Didn't you? Answer me Addie!"

Addison tutted in frustration "It just came up all of a sudden!"

Callie gasped, spluttered and began chocking on her mixture of pickle and ice cream. When she finally began to regain control she spoke again repeating her previous question "How?"

"I don't know. We were just laying down yesterday talking about stuff and then it just came up"

"Addison you and I know that this topic does not come up very easily. Especially for the Alex Karev's and Mark Sloan's of the world"

"But it did! For both of them! When I got pregnant with Mark's baby he stepped up even though it wasn't for the most ample amount of time, and Alex said he didn't really think about children until…until…"

"Until what?"

"Until I came along" she finished.

Callie exhaled heavily as if she had just run a whole flight of stairs. Plucking the pickle out of its brief icy burial she started to nibble it in thought. Finally she spoke "He really likes you doesn't he?"

Addison nodded.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know" Addison sighed "I was kinda hoping you would give me some advice"

Callie began to laugh gently until her small chuckles became full blown bellows of raucous laughter. Addison just sat there her cheeks turning pink with embarrassment at her friend's outward display. After another minute of Callie struggling to keep in check Addison decided to leave.

"Thanks so much for everything" she said her voice dripping with sarcasm as she began to walk away.

"Do you guys ever think about…you know…" his voice quietened "Having kids one day?"

Izzie and Meredith stopped eating at once. Cristina on the other hand chuckled.

"Oh my god evil spawn! Who was the unlucky woman that you knocked up?"

"Cristina!"

"What? Don't act as if you weren't thinking the same thing" she said before shovelling the forkful of lettuce into her mouth. Izzie rolled her eyes at her before turning back around to Alex.

"Alex why are you bringing this up now? Tell me you really didn't get a girl pregnant did you?"

"No no of course I didn't. I just wanted to know what you guys thought"

"Well why aren't you talking to George about this?" Meredith asked "I'm sure he'll be more able to give you an insight on what having kids is going to be like"

"Speaking of George where is he?" Izzie asked her head craning to see if he was approaching.

"Yeah your probably right…I'll ask him later or something" he addressed to Meredith. Picking up his tray he walked emptying it into the nearest trash receptacle before disappearing out of view.

"Who do you think it is?" Meredith asked watching Alex vanish

"Why?" Cristina asked before a brilliant idea struck her "Are you planning to make it interesting?"

Izzie and Meredith turned around to fully face her. Izzie narrowed her eyes at Cristina "What are you trying to pull?"

"Nothing" she held up her hands "Just some clean healthy fun"

"Nothing is ever clean and healthy with you Cristina" Meredith said shaking her head.

"Is that a yes or a no Grey?" her voice was set in her most intriguing tone; well it was what she thought it sounded like.

Meredith looked at Cristina their eyes never wavering from each others trying to figure out what the other was thinking. After thirty seconds of intense staring Cristina won.

"Fine" Meredith sounded tired "You win once more"

"It was to be expected"

"So what's actually happening now?" Izzie looked at the two girls clearly out of the sync

"All in good time my friends" she stood up and patted them on the back "All in good time" she walked away.

"Is it just me or are you already shitake-ing your pants right now"

Meredith nodded "What the hell's happening around here?"

Izzie looked down at her meal with a mild disdain "I dunno but I am definitely not eating cafeteria food from now on."

George was muttering to himself "Mrs Stewart age 25 showing signs of…"

"Hey George!" Izzie called out to him "Did you hear the news?"

"No…what?" he said looking away from his chart

"Alex got some girl pregnant"

"He got Doc…?" George shut his mouth as the realisation that he knew something washed over Izzie's face

Izzie stared strangely at George "Who did he get pregnant George?" she edged closer into his personal space.

He backed up into the counter until it cut into his back "Uh…Uh…" his pager beeped and he looked down to see it was the very woman he was discussing "I have to go" he said.

"George!" Izzie yelled at him admonished that he would withhold information from her. She moved away from him; the doctor in her telling her that someone's life was more important than some rumour.

"Izzie its Doctor Montgomery" he whined pointing at his scrub pants. He met her eyes hoping that she would get the double meaning but se never cottoned on.

"Fine go but this conversation isn't over mister!" she shouted at his retreating figure.

"Dr. O'Malley what took you so long?" Addison demanded whilst she washed her hands. She didn't really care she just needed to focus on something else even if it was as trivial as a tardy intern.

"Sorry I was…"

She shook her head. "Just don't let it happen again" she said in a much less intimidating tone.

"I won't" he said before following her out of the doors. They walked to the nurse's station and requested their next patients file.

"Since when did Dr. Montgomery and George get so chummy?" Cristina asked loking over at them. she joined Izzie who was doing scut work close by.

"What?"

"Never mind" she dismissed "So are you ready to put in your bet?"

"Cristina I don't even know what we are betting on"

"It's the identity of the girl Alex got knocked up" Cristina sighed "Its either she was extremely drunk or just a tramp with no morals"

"Cristina!"

"What?"

"I used to be with Alex"

"So? What are you getting at?"

Izzie rolled her eyes "Let's just change the subject. So what do we have to do?"

"Well there was going to be some elaborate plans involving a lot of kissing ass but I'm just to tired for that"

"Aww Cristina's growing up"

"Shut up. Just say who you think Alex knocked up then show me the money" her pager beeped "Quick Iz I have a heart valve that needs replacing"

"Dr Montgomery" she said looking down at her own pager which buzzed at her hip

"Great I'll put you down for twenty"

"What" she looked up sharply "No no Cristina that's not what I meant" her excuse landing on deaf ears as the intern was already gone. "Well that's a twenty I'm never going to see again"

XXXXXX

"Dr Montgomery you paged me?"

"Uh yes…Stevens" she pronounced snapping the vanilla folder shut "I've got…" she looked down at her pager and let out a frustrated sigh. "Three deliveries in one day must be a record" she began walking off with Izzie in tow "Stevens I need you to check up on one of the infants in the NICU make sure she's ready to be discharged then after that I want to you come find me if I'm finished. If not then scrub in." she disappeared through a door and Izzie was left on her own.

"Whose baby is that?" Alex asked stepping into the softly lit room.

"Montgomery's"

"What?"

"Yeah she's having me look her over" she cooed to the baby then looked at Alex "So what's up"

"Nothing! Why what have you heard? Is there something happening that I should know?"

Izzie studied him for a second "Still thinking about babies?"

Alex hung his head "Is it that obvious?"

"Well it is seeing as you have nothing better to do and decide to hang out in the NICU"

He smiled and took a seat opposite her "I spend most of my nights in here when I'm on call anyways…just sort of peaceful you know?"

"Hmm I guess so…take her will you I need to pee"

Alex accepted the squirming bundle.

"Ok" Izzie smoothed down her clothes "If Montgomery comes round tell her I was needed in surgery" she paused at the door "I've never been able to say that until now. Weird huh?" the door clicked shut behind her.

"That girl I seriously crazy isn't she? Isn't she?" Alex said to the little girl in her arms. She just cooed up at him contentedly. "And apparently so am I by the way you are staring at me" he muttered under his breath "Women."

"Ok gather round people" Cristina yelled from an abandoned gurney in the hallway. The only people who did indeed gather were Izzie, George ad Meredith. "This is the last chance to place your bets" she looked at George

"Cristina I can't" George struggled under her intense gaze

"And why not?" she was torturing him and he knew why.

"Because…because"

"Because he knows who it is don't ya Georgie?"

This time all women were looking at him.

"You knew?"

"And you didn't tell us?"

"Hell he didn't even tell me?"

"Ladies ladies please" Cristina shushed them "I suggest we take drastic action"

"I second that!" Meredith said shooting daggers at George.

"I can think of something" Izzie supplied. "Ugh" she said in frustration "I can't believe you didn't say anything! Does the word friendship mean anything?"

"I didn't lie!" George was desperately looking for a way out "I told you already! You just didn't understand" he pointed to his scrub pants.

Izzie bit on her bottom lip. "Get there faster Izzie! Meredith's got fifty rolling on this" Cristina demanded

"Shut up shut up I can't think" she tapped on her temples until finally she looked up at George in shock "Nooooooooooooooooooo! Seriously?"

"Guys there is money at stake here!"

"Do you think she's really pregnant?" Izzie continued ignoring Cristina.

"Izzie! Who the hell is it?"

"You know what" she said looking at the two women "Keep the twenty because what I learnt is worth so much more" she walked away with George who had been standing their quietly.

Cristina stood their dumfounded "I knew we should have included her more"

XXXXXX

And enter Izzie. It was strange because I never really thought about adding her into this mix; or the other interns for that matter, but hopefully I can include her more in some way later on; her and George.

oh! and this is like part one of one so there will be a continuation to this.

Review if you want :-)
