IN IZZIE'S SURGERY

"And that is done! Excellent! Okay Dr. Bailey, I want you to very, very slowly, walk over to OR 2 and hand this dish to Dr McIntosh. You do not speak, you do not communicate with another living soul until that organ is in Taylor Jones, do you hear me?" Dr Shepherd told Dr Bailey.

"Yes Dr Shepherd." Dr Bailey said as she walked out of the OR into the corridor.

"Okay I have an Appendectomy scheduled so Dr Milton would you mind closing for me?" Dr Shepherd asked.

"Not at all Dr Shepherd."Dr Milton said as he stepped up to the table.

"Good man. Okay nice work everybody, thank you."Dr Shepherd said as he left the OR.

IN TAYLOR'S SURGERY

"Dr Bailey do you have my liver?"Hayley asked.

"Yes Dr McIntosh, it's right here."Dr Bailey said as she handed the organ to Hayley.

"Very good. Were there any complications with Izzie's surgery?"Hayley asked curiously, praying that Izzie was alright.

"Not a single one. Everything was textbook the whole way."Dr Bailey told a relieved Hayley.

"Brilliant, thank you Dr Bailey. Now let's get this liver into him!"She said as she began to put the new liver into Taylor.

2 HOURS AFTER THE SURGERIES

"Izzie? Izzie you awake? Iz?"Mike called Izzie's name trying to wake her up.

"Mike? Is that you?"Izzie said in a hoarse voice.

"Izzie! You're awake! Sweetie don't talk you've still got a long way to go in your recovery and you need all your strength. The surgery went perfectly and so did Taylor's. He's in the ICU and he's awake and Hayley's in there talking to him right now."Mike told Izzie who started crying with happiness.

"Oh my god! When can I see him, I need to see him."Izzie said very happily.

"The nurse just paged Hayley and she's on her way over here with him right now."Mike explained to Izzie who was barely awake but trying her best to disguise her weariness.

Then a gurney rounded the corner into Izzie's room and from the bed came a voice that Izzie had been longing to hear for 2 days.

" Hey you!" Taylor said to a beaming Izzie.

"Taylor! You're okay!"Izzie said trying to sit up in bed, but failing.

Hayley wheeled Taylor's bed over beside Izzie's so they could talk properly.

"Iz, I can't believe you did that for me, I mean that is the most amazing thing anyone's ever done for me! I owe you one!"Taylor said to Izzie who hadn't stopped smiling since he had entered the room.

"Yeah I guess you do! I'm so glad you're okay! And Taylor, just for the record, if you mess up that liver, you're not getting anymore of mine!"Izzie told Taylor who was looking at her with the biggest smile ever on his face.

"Don't worry, after this I won't ever be drinking again... well maybe not so much!"

"Taylor Jones if you so much as ..."Izzie started at Taylor but he interrupted her.

"Izzie I'm kidding, I'm kidding relax! You're gonna blow a stitch!"They both laughed.

"Anyway, changing to a very different subject, what did Mike say, I mean did he, y'know?"Taylor asked Izzie looking very hopeful.

"No he didn't! But we did have a lot going on these last few days!"Izzie added and Taylor nodded in agreement.

"You okay with that?"Taylor asked very curiously.

"Yeah I guess so, but we've got more important things to concentrate on right now!" Izzie said hitting Taylor playfully on the arm.

After talking for about half an hour, Mike and Hayley came back up to Izzie and Taylor's room.

"So how are you guys feeling?" Hayley asked Izzie and Taylor looking concerned.

"Well I feel like I'm gonna throw up and my stomach's killing me, but otherwise I'm fine!"Taylor said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, you're gonna feel like that for a few days. You too Iz."Hayley said in her fancy medical voice.

"Hey Izzie, I'm really sorry but I've gotta get to work. I'll be back as soon as I can okay?"Mike said looking guilty.

"Yeah it's fine! I've got these guys to keep me company! See ya later!" Mike leaned in and kissed Izzie and then said goodbye to everyone else and left for work.

"So Iz, you guys seem to be getting pretty serious! Do you think this is going somewhere?"Hayley asked Izzie and Taylor gave her a mischievous look but quickly turned away when Hayley looked at him.

"What? People, tell me what is going on?!?"Hayley said but Izzie and Taylor kept their mouths shut.

Hayley kept asking them for about 15 minutes but then gave up and went to check on her patients. When she left, Izzie and Taylor both burst out laughing.

"Did you see her face? She looked like she was gonna explode!" Taylor said crying with laughter.

"I know! But Taylor, we can't tell her you know what she's like! She'd have the wedding planned before he even proposed!" Izzie said, breathing deeply and trying to stop laughing.

"Yeah, true!" Taylor agreed also trying to stop.

They both sat laughing and talking crap for the next few hours until they eventually both fell asleep.
