Patching Up the Holes

A minute ticked by as Christina fought the urge to bolt staring at that closed elevator door. It was then as all hope was the lost the power came back on and the tow doors opened. What came out was a lot of water and an unconscious Phelps who fell to the floor.

Lexie was the first to get up to him and check his pulse. She looked at Christina. "He's alive." She then took a small to pause to listen for any sign of breathing. "He's still breathing."

She nearly fell over in relief as he started coughing and choking up water. "Michael! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine. I don't know how much longer I could have lasted."

"We'll need to get you to a room and make sure everything checks out."

Christina supported him this time as she helped him up and the two made their way to an exam room. "I thought I was in heaven for a moment."

"Why is that?"

"Because I swore you were an angel." Normally, she would have balked at his. But he sounded sincere. And maybe deep down she believed him.

Alex came home to find Izzie on the floor by the couch. "Izzie, what's wrong?"

"I'm in labor and I can't move!"

He rushed over to her and helped her up. "How long have you been stuck down here?"

"About an hour."

"I'm sorry. I should have-"

"Don't worry. I'm just glad you're here. We better hurry." She looked at him for a moment. "It's time."

"I know."

"I'm so not ready."

"Neither am I. But we'll make this."

"I know. I love you."

"I love you too."

Sarah was on her third cupcake and George his fourth when they heard someone. "Hello!"

"Hi! We're clearing the rubble! We'll have you two out in a minute!" True to their word, a few minutes later the two emerged from the office to the busy hallway.

They barely had a moment to breathe before Mark was hugging her. "Thank God."

"Why are you hugging me so tight?" He let her go and she looked up and smirked. "You were worried about me!"

"I was not. I just missed you."

"You were worried!"

"I was not. Derrick, tell her."

"He wasn't worried. He was freaking out."

"Thanks."

"Aww, I find it cute. You care."

"I do." He was just about to kiss her when her pager went off. She looked at George.

"Izzie?"

Sarah nodded. "It's time." And they took off down the hallway.

"Hey. No kiss?"

"Later!"

Callie sat outside Erica's room rocking back and forth in her chair. The Chief was in with Bailey. Lexie took a seat next to her.

"It's going to be okay."

"I hope you're right." It was then Bailey exited. "What's going on?"

"Her vitals are fine, but…"

"But what?!"

"It seems she's in a coma." Callie slumped in her chair.

"This can't be happening. I'm… this isn't real."

"I'm afraid it is. You can go see her."

"I will."

"We have the roof repaired."

"You realize two of my doctors almost died and two more were trapped in an office?!"

"We know sir."

"Just make damn sure it never happens again." And as if on command, the rain outside the window slowed to a stop. "It looks like someone up there is on my side for this one."
