Its been ages since I've updated and I actually didnt think I'd ever get back to this but with the lack of Alex and Izzie on screen I decided it was time to update. Hope people are still interested, let me know what you think??
Alex was looking over his patients chart when he noticed Izzie at the other side of the nurses' station. She was talking to a nurse and her forehead was creased in concentration. She looked amazing he thought as his eyes glanced over her body. She wore a dark grey pencil skirt with a crisp white shirt. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a style on her head. The more he looked the more he wanted to find an empty on call room and repeat what they had done just that morning. At that moment Izzie looked up and flashed him a coy smile. He smiled back and then pretended to glance back down at his chart. It wasn't long before his eyes wandered back to the blonde doctor across the room.
"Stop it." Cristina snapped from beside him.
"Stop what?" Alex asked innocently.
"You know very well what I'm talking about. Stop looking at Barbie and do some work." Cristina replied in a disgusted tone. "You know I've lost all respect for Derek I thought he was a smart guy. I can't believe he doesn't realise you've been screwing his sister for the past week."
"And what a week it's been." Alex replied with a dirty smile.
"Ugh, shut up." Cristina said nudging him in the ribs. "You know what this meeting is about?"
"No idea." Alex said noticing a few more doctors had arrived. His eyes darted back to Izzie who was now talking to Meredith. "What you think it is about?" Alex quizzed Cristina.
"I dunno but I don't like it. It better not be a merger. Last week Westbrooke and St Mary's merged in California and the week before that there were more mergers in Ohio and Florida."
Alex shrugged. "It wouldn't be the end of the world."
"It would be if your job was cut." Cristina exclaimed.
"So are you nervous?" Meredith asked Izzie cautiously.
"No excited, I'm so happy for Bailey." Izzie replied smiling at her new friend. Meredith had been nothing short of amazing since her arrival in Seattle and they had soon become really good friends. Like Meredith promised she had accompanied Izzie to the bank to lodge the cheque that Denny had left her. They both had the morning off so they began by doing a bit of shopping followed by the dreaded trip to the bank and then an expensive lunch with massive desserts to cheer Izzie up. Meredith had gone out of her way to take Izzie's mind off Denny and it had worked. Meredith had also turned into Izzie's closest confidant and grilled Izzie often about how things were going with her and Alex. Things had been going really well with her and Alex. It had been over a week since Izzie had made him dinner and since then they had spent hours hanging out, getting to know each other and there had been plenty of sex. Izzie smiled to herself and stole a quick glance across the room at Alex.
"Awh, you can't keep your eyes off him." Meredith gushed beside Izzie.
"I can Mer, I just don't want too." Izzie replied smugly.
"What the hell does the Chief want now?" Mark asked as he arrived dressed in scrubs. "I have surgery in fifteen minutes."
"It won't take that long." Izzie replied as she noticed Derek arrive behind Mark.
"You know what's going on?" Mark asked.
"Of course Mark. I know everything." Izzie said while Derek and Mark looked at her to continue.
"Well? Come on Iz, tell us." Derek piped up.
"Nope, look here's the Chief; I'll let him look after it." Izzie said as everyone's attention turned to the Chief who was coming down the stairs with Bailey. Izzie quickly glanced over at Alex who gave her a quick wink.
"Right everyone this won't take long. As you all know Bailey had been campaigning for years to get Seattle Grace to open a free clinic and finally we have received the funding to do this." The Chief announce happily as a mutter of approval was heard from the crowd of doctors.
"Great this will mean they expect us to donate free time to this thing, you won't see me near the place." Mark scoffed quietly.
"The clinic will be a great asset to the hospital and it is going to be named in memory of a great doctor and a great friend of mine who died recently. So in two months time the doors of the Dennison Duquette Memorial Clinic will open and I expect to see every single one of you helping out and I especially want to thank Dr. Stevens whose kind donation is the reason this is all happening." The Chief announce smiling at Izzie who smiled back at him while Derek and Mark looked at her in shock. "Right everyone back to work."
As the crowd dispersed Izzie turned nervously to Mark and Derek. "What do you think?"
"It's a really great way to remember him." Derek said pulling his sister into a warm hug.
"Yeah Iz, why didn't you tell us?" Mark asked.
"I just wanted to make sure it was happening first." Izzie said quietly suddenly feeling quiet emotional.
"He'd be so happy with this." Derek confirmed rubbing Izzie's back gently.
"So did you know about this?" Cristina asked Alex as they went back to work.
"Nope, it's not really my business is it?" Alex replied.
"No I guess not. Looks like she's bringing the ghost of her ex into work with her now." Cristina said nodding over to where Mark, Izzie and Derek were huddled talking she continued. "Face it Alex you cannot compete with that."
