Meredith woke up the next morning laying right where she had been when Finn left. She rolled over and looked out the window. It was cloudy and raining, granted it is Seattle so that's normal, but the weather seemed to fit the day.

Meredith got up, opened the door and walked out of her room. Izzie's bedroom door was open and Alex was sleeping along side the wall next to her door. Meredith smiled at him and walked over to peek into the bedroom. The bed had been slept in but Izzie wasn't there anymore. Meredith walked down the stairs and saw George and Callie asleep on the couch, she heard a noise in the kitchen and headed towards the noise.

"Hey," Meredith said when she saw Izzie in the kitchen making pancakes. She grabbed a mug, poured herself a cup of coffee, and sat down on one the stools across from where Izzie was standing.

"I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to get up and make breakfast for everyone before you all have to go to work." Izzie replied to Meredith's questioning look. Her blonde hair was messy and pulled back into a bun and she was still wearing the same clothes from the night before.

"Izzie, do you want me to stay home with you today? I can keep you company, we can watch crappy daytime television, eat junk food, and just lounge and be incurably lazy." Meredith asked. She knew Izzie would say no, but she wanted her to know that she was here for her for anything needed, and she really didn't want Izzie to have to spend the first day by herself.

"No, thats okay. Bailey's going to be short an intern anyway, besides Alex already told me last night that he absolutely refuses to go to work this morning. He said he's going to stay here today no matter what. And I think it really wouldn't be good if George and Christina are the only ones, Christina has Burke to think about too." Izzie answered. She glanced at the clock on the wall it said 6:30. "You should probably go wake everybody and tell them I made breakfast...I'm sure no one thought to set an alarm last night."

"Okay" Meredith said. She slid off the stool, grabbed her coffee and went off to wake everybody up.

Meredith was standing in the livingroom over George and Callie there was still some awkward feelings there. "George? Callie?" she whispered. Nothing. "George. Callie." she said a little louder. Nothing. Okay just do it and get it over with so you can move on to Alex. she said to herself. "George! Callie!" She almost yelled. They both stirred a little.

"What? What do you want Mer?" George said very sleepily.

"It's time to wake up. We have rounds and Izzie made us breakfast," Callie woke up from George moving around and looked at Meredith, "good morning Callie" she said and then headed up stairs.

She stopped at Alex's feet, and nudged him. "Hey Alex wake up. Izzie made breakfast."

Alex sat straight up, "She made breakfast? But when did she wake up? When I fell asleep she was already sleeping." Alex had an imensely confused look on his face."I can't believe I didn't wake up when she went downstairs." He stood up and walked into the bathroom.

Meredith went into her room changed her clothes and then headed down into the kitchen. When she got into the kitchen everyone was already sitting at the table eating and Izzie had an almost half smile on her face. It almost looks like we're a real family, Meredith thought simling on the inside all the while.
