Chapter Four: Devil Wears Scrubs, Elevator Closeness and Choices.
She really didn't want to go.
She actually refused to go.
But when Naomi Bennett practically shoved an airplane ticket in her face, Addison Montgomery had no other choice but to go to Seattle.
"It's Doris"
She had gone in her second errand of coffee when Naomi dropped the bomb; she used the 'D' word knowing how much Addison was attached to a one Doris Warren.
"What?" she hissed as the hot coffee came in touch with her tongue, slightly burning it, "It's Doris", repeated Naomi.
Addison looked up at her friend, "Where is she?", she glared at Dell as the young man looked at her with a knowing smirk.
"In Seattle-"
The red-head turned around and shook her head, "No, I'm not going to Seattle", Naomi just rolled her eyes at her antics.
"You are going, we leave tomorrow at 8 a.m.", Addison just glared, not at all shocked at her friend's decision.
"But I- I don't want to go!", Naomi now laughed as her friend whined quietly, "Addison grow up, you're going to face the intern sooner or later"
Addison's tone dead panned, "Resident"
Naomi turned around as she was before looking at some files, "What?"
"He's a resident now, probably plastics too", at this Addison left without any other word but stopped inches away from her door, "Is Sam coming?"
Naomi shrugged but realized her friend was still with her back at her, "Don't know, I'll ask him later, and no Dell you can't come"
Addison laughed as she turned around and took a look at Dell's crestfallen face.
--------------------------------------
It was one of those mornings when you had to ask if you were really in Seattle, because the sun shined so bright that even the dark and twisty felt more pinkish and sunny.
"I hate it"
Meredith looked up from her cereal and frowned as Cristina came stumbling down the stairs, her hair a curly mess and her eyes a bit sleepy, "You okay?"
Cristina only nodded and Alex laughed as she went straight to the coffee pot, having her first big gulp and then pouring some more.
"Better?"
Cristina rolled her eyes at Alex but still nodded, "Yes Evil Spawn, now be gone", she shooed him with her hands and Meredith just laughed.
Alex groaned but still said nothing about the name, "Where's Izzie?", Cristina's question was met with an unanimous, "At the gym"
At this her eyes gleamed with amusement and took another gulp of coffee, "20 bucks she sleeps with Sloan at the end of the week"
Meredith rolled her eyes and Alex only looked at her with defiance, "40 that in two weeks"
Cristina smirked, "You're so on", but then she groaned as a ray of sunshine came through the kitchen, "Damn you bright and shiny thing!"
Alex looked at her amused and Meredith only laughed again, her morning feeling more complete even when she was still in the dark about her career choice, she sighed and only took another mouthful of cereal.
------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe you all came"
Addison's heels were clicking in Seattle Grace's parking lot as she got of a yellow taxi, her best friend in her toes and other two men behind her.
Well more like one and a half man.
"What? I had one week off, so what if I decided to use it now?"
Addison chuckled at Dell's response and she grew nervous again for the hospital now seemed closer, "It's so nice to see my ex-wife being hit on by a kid who doesn't even know who the Beatles are"
Sam's sarcastic voice made her laugh out loud, turning round to look at Naomi rolling her eyes at the blonde boy, his boyish smile making her own friend smile.
"Yes well, at least you didn't find his boxers in her coat", Sam was shocked and stopped walking, his eyes big as he looked at Addison, "Derek did that?"
She only nodded but then shrugged her shoulders, "Its okay now, we both then knew it wasn't working..."
She stopped walking as they came face to face with Seattle Grace's glass doors, "I guess this is it"
"Yes, and we better hurry because I don't really want to see Mark hitting on a blonde bimbo, I got enough of that at med-school"
Addison turned around and looked strangely at Naomi, the brunette just nodded to her left where Izzie Stevens could be seen descending Mark's jeep, her laugh and smile a telltale.
"What the-"
Naomi pushed her friend forward, "Hurry, I'm serious"
Addison just shook her head and walked quickly towards the elevator still not understanding why Dr. Model and McSteamy were together, she hates him, right?
"Addison?"
She turned around knowing full well who that voice belonged too, "Hey Mark, you paged?"
Mark smiled at her, but Addison frowned, that was the 'friend smile' not the 'McSteamy smile', since when do I get the friend smile?
"Yeah, Naomi filled you in?", he smiled at other women who smiled back and stepped forward to hug him, he gladly hugged her back and soon the elevator came with a 'Ding'.
"Yes, she actually filled all of us in"
Mark turned around and his face went a bit rigid as Sam's presence was now known, "And what are you doing here?"
Sam glared back and crossed his arms, "Visiting Doris, she's my friend too", Mark scoffed and Naomi stepped between the two men, her eyes daring them to say anything else.
"Uh, so...", Mark turned around and found a young man staring at him, his blonde locks over his blue eyes, "I'm Dell", he extended his hand and Mark only looked at it, the blonde retrieved it back and stepped on the elevator with the rest of them.
"Addison you already got a new boy toy?"
Dell frowned, "No, we're not together, no disrespect Dr. Montgomery", his eyes shifted from Addison (who only smiled) to Naomi and Mark now chuckled.
"Don't even", Naomi warned and the handsome doctor just shook his head, his gaze directed towards Addison again, his eyes changing a bit as he took a good look at her.
"So..."
She gulped nervously and looked at her left, "What room is she in?"
Mark looked somewhat hurt but quickly shook it off, "They transferred her yesterday to 405, after the surgery", with that Addison pressed the fourth floor, an orange color now in the button.
Sam spoke again, "Surgery?"
Addison nodded, "Right, I'm guessing she finally wanted to have her-"
"Boob back, yes", Mark chuckled but then laughed out loud as Naomi's hand came in contact with his shoulder, hitting him playfully, "What's with the hitting today?"
The other four looked at him strangely and were about to comment when a 'Ding' was heard and the doors opened to show a blonde looking at a chart, oblivious to the other occupants of the elevator.
"Miss me already?"
Isobel Stevens looked up and was about to groan when other four expectant eyes met her own chocolate orbs, "Dr. Montgomery!", the red-head immediately smiled at her and Izzie stepped into the elevator.
"Not anymore 'God's not playing by the rules' I hope?"
Izzie smiled back and laughed, "No, so not more of those"
Mark Sloan looked between them and the earlier strange feeling came back as he, for an unknown reason, felt jealous at the little inside joke between the two women, "I thought you said third floor"
The blonde felt her face turn a bit red as she looked at Mark (her back almost pressing against his chest due to the amount of people in the elevator space), "I was going to check on Ms. Warren actually"
"Third floor? What department did you choose?"
Addison took back her attention and Mark glared at her (the glare not going unnoticed as he would've wished), "Neuro"
"Derek's? I thought that would be Grey's choice"
Izzie shrugged and another voice took her interest, "So why are you checking on Doris? You have nothing to do with Plastics"
She turned around and met Naomi's questioning eyes, her turning around making the room between her and Mark even more inexistent, "Yes, that's true but I assisted Dr. Sloan yesterday in her procedure and I was just going to check if she was feeling okay"
Naomi was taken back by her professionalism and nodded, "That's good, I'm Naomi Bennett by the way", she stuck her hand out and with a smile Izzie shook it.
"I'm Jackson, but call me Sam", she turned around again (now at her left), "I'm Isobel Stevens", she felt her face grow hot as Mark's hands moved so they laid by her sides, "but, everyone calls me Izzie"
Her brown eyes shifted to the young man besides Sam, "and you are?"
Dell looked up and smiled in a dashing way, "I'm Dell"
"He's taken", Izzie blushed as Mark whispered into her ear (earning a curious glance from Addison and Naomi), "I'm not interested anyway", she now looked at Dell, "no offense or anything"
Dell just smiled and shrugged it off, "None taken, I'm not interested either"
"Too bad, you would totally be Barbie and Ken together"
Everyone looked forward at the new voice as the elevator doors opened and there stood Cristina Yang and Alex Karev besides her, a chuckle in his lips disappearing as soon as Addison came into view.
"You're so going to owe me 40 bucks"
--------------------------------------
"You wanted to see me?"
Meredith Grey knocked on Chief Webber's office door and stepped inside, Miranda Bailey and the Chief, himself, waiting for her.
"Yes, yes, Meredith come on in"
She nodded and shut the door behind her, taking a seat next to Bailey and, out of habit, put her hand inside her coat's pockets as a wave of nervousness came over her.
"Don't worry, you didn't do anything" he laughed as she sighed relieved and smiled at him, her hand now out of her lab coat.
Bailey took the moment to talk, "We're just worried that you haven't, yet, chosen a field"
Meredith nodded and pursed her lips, "I just – I just really don't know what I want"
"Meredith", she looked at the Chief and he sighed looking out of the window, "I know this is a hard choice, considering that your mom isn't here anymore, and I know that has affected-"
Meredith decided to cut him off, having heard that speech too many times now, "No, that's not the cause, I just really don't know, I like Cardio but I also like Neuro and even Neonatal has my interest"
Richard nodded while Miranda sighed, "You know what you want Grey, you're just being too damn chicken about it", with that she got up and left, leaving Meredith to wonder about it.
"She's...She's just worried about you" Richard looked at her with sympathetic eyes, "Meredith, I need to know by Friday your choice, you can (for now) make some rounds with the other residents to see what their department is like, but I do need you to make a choice"
Meredith just nodded and got up from her chair, her back to the Chief, "Thank you, for everything"
Richard Webber just nodded as he was now left alone in his office, memories of Ellis Grey playing in his mind.
----------------------------------
Derek Shepherd shut his chart and looked up as a sudden crowd was stepping off the elevator, a smile instantly placed in his lips.
"Sam!"
The group turned around at the sound of his voice and most of them smiled at him, meeting the 'McDreamy' Doctor halfway down the hall; the nurses looking interested at the new comers.
"Hey Shepherd!", both man shook hands and grinned at each other, Derek then moving to hug Naomi and smile at Addison, "Satan's back, huh?"
Dell looked strangely at the doctor while Naomi and Sam laughed, "Satan? You're kidding me"
Addison rolled her eyes, "I prefer Devil but he likes Satan better"
Derek laughed and shook his head, "I guess you guys are here to check on Doris?", his eyes shifted to Mark's blue one's, the other just shrugging and a small smile forming in his lips.
Naomi grinned, "Yes, speaking of which-", she turned to face Mark and narrowed her eyes; "Don't you ever hang up on me again!"
The entire group laughed as Naomi looked sharply at Mark who sent an innocent smile her way.
"Barbie"
Izzie turned around and saw Cristina whispering as the group laughed, "What?"
"Look at Karev"
Izzie glanced out of the corner of her eye and frowned when she found Alex looking intently at Addison; she knew that look.
"Oh god..."
Cristina smirked, "Exactly"
"We have to do something", at this Cristina frowned and shook her head repeatedly, "No, I'm not getting in the middle of this, Meredith will help you, but no, not me"
Izzie scowled and looked around, making sure no one head them, "C'mon Cristina, Mer's not here and I'm sure she has other things to do first"
"And I don't?"
Izzie looked straight at her, Cristina's eyes rolling at her look.
"Okay, so I don't, sue me"
Izzie grinned and whispered again, "So what are-"
"Stevens"
Mark's voice shook them both from their plotting and Izzie looked up, her chocolate eyes locking with Mark's blue ones, "Are you coming?"
She looked at the hall and noticed it was now empty, the earlier party heading to the '405' room, "Oh, uhm, yeah", she turned around to talk to Cristina but found her friend and Alex Karev stepping into the elevator.
Mark Sloan waited as Izzie made her way to stand besides him, a small smile forming in her lips as he waited.
Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy.
"Seriously, you're so going to owe me 40 bucks"
And the elevator's doors closed, leaving the fourth floor with a distracted Alex Karev and a smirking Cristina Yang.

There it is! I enjoyed writing this very much and I can't wait to write some hotness, but I have this annoying habit that as I write I have to develop things here and there and I can't (usually) leave other characters out so it takes time to get to the hotness. Sorry 'bout that!
Review please!
