Learning to Breathe

Alex, Derek, Preston, and George, all learned

Something from Dr.Webber. Dr.Webber planned this

Weekend so they wouldn't make the same mistakes he made in his life.

They all were back and at the hospital, also waiting to see who the new chief

Resident was going to be.

The locker room

Christina: Can you believe Webber is retiring?

Meredith: nope

Izzie: I do, he wants to live his life, and good for him

George: Who do you think the new Chief resident will be.

Christina: Only of course the best doctor here, and my man, Preston.

Meredith: No sweetheart, it's my boy Derek, well I don't know what he is, can you believe he actually just said ok when I told him dumped finn! Like come on Seriously!

Izzie: Seriously yes I do (Izzie smiled).

Meredith: What?

Izzie: Come on Meredith he just got a divorce, what do you expect, I know he wants you, we all know that, but when you end a relationship with someone that you were once in love with it's hard.

Alex walks in

Alex: That is true Meredith, it's hard ( alex stares at Izzie) it's hard to end a relationship with someone you love.

Alex goes to his locker.

Izzie nods

Izzie: See, I even got Karev agreeing.

Christina: He's one to talk

Meredith: Christina, George please let's go to the storage room, I need your help.

Christina: Well, I can tell you one think we ain't having a threesome , because that just is

not going to happen, I could do better that you two.

George: Ouch that hurts Christina, lets go.

Meredith smiles at Alex and mouths the words "tell her"!

Izzie is tying her shoes.

Alex goes and sits next to her.

Alex: hey Iz

Izzie: hi Alex , how was the camping trip?

Alex: it was fun, it made me think a lot.

Izzie: About what?

Alex: Well, I wanted to tell you something, and I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, I have just been so scared.

Izzie gets a page

Izzie: damn, it's 911 I have to go, can we talk at lunch?

Alex forces a smile: yes of course.

Meredith enters the locker room

Meredith: So alex, did you tell her? Did you tell her you love her?

Alex: I couldn't she got a page.

Meredith: well, you have to her , because if you don't tell her, she will never know, and it will hurt her, I know she is sad over denny, but if you just let this go by, and not tell her, she will hurt(Meredith talk shakingly as if she would cry any minute.).

Alex: Don't worry I'm going to. I'm not letting another guy come along, before I tell her.

Derek walks in after hearing Meredith talk, alex walks out.

Meredith: Hey Derek (Meredith smiles and starts to leave the room)

Derek grabs her arm gently.

Meredith looks at him and says: Derek, I'm not going to do this anymore, you can't just ignore me sometimes and then want me, it's not healthy, and it's really playing with my emotions. I love you so much, and I only wish you would reciprocate those feelings, but the truth is I don't know if you will. I dumped Finn, a guy too perfect to ever pass by. I dumped him for a guy who chose his wife who cheated on him over me, a guy I'm in love with, a guy who called me a whore. I chose you Derek, because you just can't help who you love and dammit I hate it. I do.

Meredith cries.

Derek holds her and says: Meredith, sweetheart, I love you, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't say anything to you after you dumped Finn, it's just I realized that I wasted a year without you, trying to fix a relationship that wouldn't work because we both are in love with someone else. I love you Meredith, I love the way you smell, I love the way you talk when your on morphine, I love your lack of optimism, I just want you to know that I'm not wasting anymore time without you. Because I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I can't promise you I won't make you mad, but I can promise you I won't hurt you again.

Meredith and Derek Kissed, and Meredith says: So, you finally decided to treat me mcgood.

Derek smiles.

Scene switches to Preston and Christina

Christina: hey Mr.Burke , I mean new chief of surgery

Burke: I wasn't named chief of surgery.

Christina: but, your going to be.

Burke: Christina , I can't even operate perfectly, what makes you think I'm worthy of being chief resident. Christina, if I was no longer a doctor would you love me?

Christina doesn't answer.

Burke: I see I got my answer.

Christina: wait, don't do that.

Burke: don't do what?

Christina: don't walk out on me, when I didn't get to answer you.

I love you Burke , ok! Is that what you want to hear! I love you, I love you if you were a gynecologist, I love you if you worked at McDonalds, and yes I would love you even if you were a vet! Ok

Christina runs off and Burke Smiles

Scene switches to Board room , where the chief has decided the new chief of surgery.

Webber: So, I thought about this for a long time, and I realized I knew all along who deserved to take my place here.

George: Who do you think it's going to be.

Alex: 10 bucks it is Derek

Izzie: 20 that it is Preston

Webber: And well, the new chief of surgery, is someone who has all the qualities of being a chief of surgey, they are brilliant beyond normal capacity, they have a hunger for learning new things, they have one goal, and one goal only to save people. They are person first, then a doctor, They are a parent and loves their interns. And that my fellow doctors is Dr.Miranda Bailey.

Meredith: Oh my gosh, why didn't we think Bailey would be chief?

Christina: Wow, right on sister, now she is going to show all those men.

Izzie; this gives us hope ladies!

Alex: George, your dream might just come true.

George hits Alex

Preston and Derek congratulate Bailey and Bailey says: Well, it's about time!

Izzie walks outside leaving the hospital.

Alex runs up to her: Hey Iz.

Izzie: Oh Alex, how are ya?

Alex: I'm good, so I wanted to talk to you

Iz: About what Alex?

Alex: about something I need to tell you.

Iz: Ok shoot.

Alex: Well can we sit down.

Iz: Ok (izzie seems alittle started by his nervousness)

Alex: well Iz, I need you to know my whole life, I was always this guy who had no emotions, and it's true, when my Mom died, my dad basically left me in sports and told me that if I cry about my Mom ever, that I would be a disgrace. So, I decided, I would never cry . He told me that love doesn't exist and only wusses fall in love, So never fell in love. Until I met you Izzie. You made me feel good, like I was a good guy, So I did everything possible to get you to hate me, Izzie I'm in love with you, and if that's not real then I don't' don't what is real. I never been so happy and upset at the same time. I love you Izzie, and I hate myself everyday for screwing up the one thing that was good in my life, and that was you Iz. You made me a better person. And I know you love Denny and I understand if you don't want to be with me. I do.

Izzie looked back at Alex in tears and kissed him softly and whispered in his ear

Izzie: I love you too……..
