Chapter 15 - The 8th World Wonder

"She looks scared..." Izzie whispered to Christina.

"Yeah, well that might be because there are four grown-ups staring at her... Say something..." Christina pushed Izzie in the back.

"You say something..."

"So guys, Bailey said you'd be really mad..." Zadie said and looked strangely at them. "Now you look like a herd of antilope facing a lion... I'm not a lion..."

"Ehm..." Christina started and looked at at her friends. "So... You shouldn't ride elevator with the two of them..."

"What!?"

"Christina!" Izzie exclaimed.

"It true..." Christina said, glaring at the blond.

Izzie shook her head and smiled at Zadie who looked oddly at the four of them. "So you're Meredith's daughter..."

"I am, yeah... Shock, right, I mean for you guys..."

"Yeah, the least, you could say..." Izzie answered.

"No, not really..." Alex spoke, and he smiled proudly. "I saw you three years ago... When I met Meredith outside your car..."

Zadie smiled. "Oh, yeah..."

"You remember?"

"Yeah, I'm not three, you know..." she tilted her head to the side and grinned widely. "You're the guy in the funny hat..." Zadie said.

Both Christina and Izzie gave out a laugh and looked with smug faces at Alex who obviously was a little embarrased. "You wore a hat?" they laughed.

"Yeah, I did..." Alex muttered. "So does O'Malley..."

"Awh, you're always blaming it on someone else..." Christina nodded, clapping her hands quietly. "Very macho..."

"Shut your pie hole Yang!"

"You did..." she looked at Izzie and George with a you-must-agree-or-else-you-die-look. "He did not just say that!?

"Yes, he did!" George exclaimed, not looking at them but looking at Zadie. "Can we please get on with this!"

Both Alex and Christina stopped and glared at him like they were all of a sudden the best of friends.

"Yeah, you just wanna talk about Meredith..." Christina made a face. "Grow up George... don't be such a love sick baby..."

George's eyes went big and he turned to her. "What?" he laughed nervously. "Why? What did you say? Love sick?"

"You're married, bambi... Besides," Alex smirked. "Meredith probably has some guys wrapped around her finger, or more accurately around her waist and perferably an inappropriate man around her waiste..."

All of a sudden load roar of laughter pierced the air and the four of them turned around to see a crying Zadie on the bed laughing so much that she had a hard time holding herself up.

The grown-ups just stood there waiting for her to finish her little session of fun, but most of all they wondered what the hell the fun was about.

"Is there something funny?" Christina asked looking suspisiously at the others.

Zadie wiped away a tear that had made its way down her cheek. "Ehm, it's just that... ehm, you said my mother would have some guy wrapped around her finger, ehm waist... Yeah, right..."

"What?"

"My mom hasn't been on a date since like never..." Zadie stated.

"Has she given up men?" Alex said trying to figure out what the hell the girl infront of them was blabbing about.

"Alex!" Izzie smacked him on the back of his head, and quickly turned to Zadie. "So she hasn't dated in a while, huh?" she tried to smile

"Well, dating wasn't really her thing..." Alex countinued, acting like no smacking had been done. "Bar, tequila, man, drunk, car, bedroom or you know livingroom... sex..." he smirked. "That's her thing..."

Another smack.

"What!?"

"Alex!" Izzie sounded again. "What are you doing!? You can't say such things, infront of her!" nodded her head towards Zadie.

"Oh, for heaven's sake. She's fifteen! Right?" Alex looked at Zadie who nodded.

"I have heard far more worse stuff..." Zadie agreed. "I have done far more worse stuff than that..."

It went dead quiet, even Alex didn't laugh.

"Now you all think that Meredith did a crappy job raising me, and that I'm some kind of problem kid... I'm not..."

The silence still remained.

"I was kidding..." Zadie felt a little embaressed. "I didn't mean it like you think I meant it..."

"Eh..."

"Does it help if I say I'll be 16, in like, 5 months?" she looked questionly at the four surgeons infront of her, who looked with terrified eyes at her.

They turned to each other and after the better part of a minute, they turned back to her.

"No, not really..." George answered, scratching his head.

Zadie sighed and shook her head. "Anyways... I was sent in here to tell you not to be angry at my mother..." she paused. "... But I can't really say that cause I've been like on and off angry at her for the last 15 years, I mean I met my dad for the first time today, and I didn't even know it was him..."

"Dude, that's harsh..." Alex said and laughed.

"Thank you..." Zadie nodded quickly.

"So you have met Derek?" Izzie looked kindly at her and Zadie nodded.

"Yeah, I had an encounter with McDreamy because I fell down the stairs over by the board, which by the way is kinda quiet..."

"I know," Christina said with a look of despair on her face. "Like the last time I had a by-pass surgery was yesterday morning. I mean, come on God! Give me some bad hearts!"

"I didn't know you're religious..." George said and smiled.

"I'm not..." Christina snapped. "I'm jewish..."

George looked at her with a troubled face. "Since when aren't jews religious?"

"... meaning I don't practise... religiousness or whatever..."

"Religiousness?" Izzie laughed, but stopped as Christina glared at her. "I mean, isn't Preston religious? How does that match together?" Izzie said with a witty face, basically just to piss of Christina.

"Burke's not religious. He's spiritual, there's a big difference..."

"Oh, you've finally realized that..." someone said and Preston Burke said, leaning against the door frame.

"Preston..." Alex greeted with a handshake.

"Alex..." Burke took his hand. "Always a pleasure to see you..."

"Ehm, Burke what are you doing here?" Christina said in an awkvard tone, more like he was her embaressing parent than husband.

"I thought I'd find out why Izzie couldn't make it to our appointment," Izzie looked down slightly. "and when I was making my way around the ward, I heard the nurses say that Meredith Grey's daughter was here... Then I knew exactly why my three best surgeons had disappeared..." he paused and looked at Zadie with searching, filosophical eyes. "You must be..."

"Zadie Grey..." she said and reached out for the dark hand. "Nice to meet you..."

"Nice to meet you too..."

"I thought you're last name was Groan..." George said and looked oddly at Zadie, as the other ones started to laugh.

"Seriously George..." Izzie looked oddly at him. "Why would she be named that, when Meredith last name is Grey... Obviously she made that up, I mean it doesn't even sound like a real name..." she smirked.

"Hey, my great... great... great... grandmother's last name was Groan!" Alex exclaimed.

"Seriously?" Izzie said oddly.

George looked in hope at him. "Seriously?"

"No..." he smirked. "I just wanted to see... that!" Alex pointed at George. "That expression in your face when you realize you're actually kinda stupid..."

George looked down. "Ass!" he said and rubbed his face.

"Well," Burke said and turned in the door. "I just really wanted to catch aglimt of the 8th world wonder that have come to Seattle Grace..."

"What?" they all exclaimed, including Zadie.

"You're the main gossip right now..." he smiled. "I guess your mother will be joining soon?"

"Probably..." Zadie nodded.

"I thought so... We'll surely see each other later then..." he said and was just about to go when he stopped and looked at Alex. "By the way, why are you here? Picking up Laura and Lily?"

Alex looked oddly at him. "Ehm, I'm here for a consult..." he scratched his head. "Didn't dr Reed tell you that?"

"He said Mark Sloan was coming..."

"Ehm, no. He couldn't make it, he had some family emergency to take care of..."

"Sloan is here..."

"No, I am..."

"But I saw him just now, down in the cafeteria..." Burke paused. "If the he's not here for the consult, why is he here?"

"Ehm, excuse me?" Zadie said and everybodies faces turned to her, who smiled slightly.

"What?"

"I think I could explain that..."

A/N: Hope you liked it, cause I kinda liked it... Well next chapter will involve of course Merdith and Derek, and I think Addison, Bailey... Maybe I'll bring Webber back for a visit now that everyone seems to be back... And one more thing, do you want an accident? Something sad/bad? I have a thing playing in my mind... If you do, please say so in you're review, and I'll try to make it happen...
