A/N: Hi guys, agian... Glad you liked it! You were quick with the reviews, and I said I'd be quick with the next chapter so here it is... Let's find out how Alex know Zadie...

Chapter 13 - So This Thing

Christina, George and Izzie looked oddly at Alex, but followed his finger anyway in lack of better judgement and a touch of curiosity.

"Zadie..." George exclaimed quietly. "She's the thing!"

"What thing?" Alex asked and joined the others to look at Bailey.

"...so this thing..."

"Are y-" George stopped and then looked to Alex again. "Wait a minute... How do you know her?"

"Well, I don't really know her. I've only seen here once, like three years ago. Though just through the wind shield of the car... when I was talking to Meredith..."

The three standing opposite him stared wide eyes on him.

"Oh... You didn't know?"

"I told you!!!" George outburst in a shout and turned to his paralysed friends. "I told you! I was right! I don't know why I always let you guys run me over..."

"Meredith actually has a daughter?" Izzie said, more to herself than to anyone else as she stared at Zadie. "Meredith has... How did you know?" she looked at Alex. "Have you talked to her?"

"I-"

"You have! And she told you!?" she exclaimed furiously. "You of all people! You! Evil Spawn! Not us, her friends, best friends. That is, that is ju-"

"I bumped into her when I was in New York as she got out of her car. She had to tell me." Alex cut Izzie off and she calmed down, but soon she was right back on track again.

"You knew! You knew and you didn't tell me!" Izzie shouted in anger. "Why didn't you tell me!? You didn't tell me!!"

"Us, Izzie, us!" Christina reminded and glared at Alex who shook his head. "Evil, evil spawn!!!"

"She asked me not to tell you... Besides, at that point you told me to go bury my head and never show my ugly face to the world ever again..." Alex explained.

"Haven't you learned not to listen to a raging woman!?" Izzie scoffed in irritation.

"So I'm not a pig headed man's ass with balls the size of a peanut..? Which we all know is not true..." he smirked.

"That's just too cruel even for you!" George suddenly said and stared angrily at him. "I would seriously kick your ass if it weren't for the fact that we're standing in a hallway with other people. The humiliation would too much for you..."

"Oh, you think you'd actually have a chance?" Alex looked oddly at George and smirked. "No way dude."

"What?! I've done it before..." Alex shook his head as George made his statement. "I could do it again."

"That was barely a nudge, Georgie!"

"I gave you a black eye and I was the champ!" George proudly straightened his back. "And do not call me Georgie!"

"Dude, you were the champ... Still, I'm not gonna stick around to fight you." Alex said and turned to Izzie who barely couldn't keep herself from starting to laugh. "Izzie?"

"Huh?" she said and gave out a smothered laugh. "Yeah?"

"Is it okay if I go and pick up the girls for ice cream or something?"

"You can't... They're on a field trip with school..." Izzie gave him a glare. "Don't you remember?"

"Oh, yeah... Right, I'm sorry..." he scratched his head and turned, smiling at George. "I guess I'll stick around after all..."

George sighed in defeat.

"... so this thing." someone said and everyone expected it to be Bailey, but it was Christina who spoke.

"I guess you all have figured out by now..."

"By a long time ago!" George accentuated, looking at his friends.

"... that she's Meredith daughter..." Bailey continued.

"Yeah, we do get that now..." Christina said and nodded. "Wow... she looks a lot like both Meredith, and you know… McDreamy..."

"Even more than she did three years ago..." Alex added on. "I mean she looked very much like them back then but now... yeah... wow..."

"So what exactly do you want us to do?" Izzie asked Bailey.

"I just want you to talk to her..."

"What!?"

"Talk to her... Hear her side of the story, rather than shouting out your tonsils at Meredith when she gets here..."

"Ehm, I don't have any tonsils..." George informed and the others glared at him. "Okay... I can shout out my intestines or something instead..." he sighed deeply, but quickly froze. "Meredith's coming!?"

"Of course she's coming!" Bailey scoffed. "Her kid flew across the country on her own... Just because Meredith is a mom doesn't mean she's an irresponsible one... Where is your loyalty? You know the sticking-up-for-each-other-just-beacuse-or-just-to-piss-off-the-attending-thing?"

"That she screwed up 15 years ago..." Christina mumbled. "What!?"

"Talk to her..." some sighs flew the air. "I'm telling you, she didn't want to talk to you either... I convinced her..."

"I hate stuff like this..." Christina said as they all walked towards the door. "You know sentimental crap... Bet someone going to cry..."

"I bet Georgie..." Alex smirked. "50 bucks?" he looked at Christina.

"I'll take that action!" Izzie laughed and patted George on his back. "I'm sorry George... I just had to..."

"Good luck." Bailey said and stopped out side the door. "See you later..."

"What?! You're not coming in with us?" George asked and rest looked like they were wondering the same.

"No, I'm not... As you said: you're not my interns anymore so I'm not obliged to help you or protect you..." Bailey explained. "Besides, she's fifteen, what harm could she do to four forty year old surgeons?"

"Correction: I'm the forty year old..." George smiled this time being the one patting Izzie's back.

"Okay so, I'll see you all later." Bailey said and started to walk off. "I told her you were really mad at Meredith, so don't make me look bad..."

"So..." Izzie looked at her friends.

"Yeah..."

She pushed down the handle and they all entered.

A/N: Good? Bad? I'd really like to hear what you all thought... So, it wasn't anything major with Alex and Zadie... Well hope you liked it, and please review...Bye
