(a couple days have passed, mer dyed her hair a lighter color, its like a dark blondish color. I ll fill you in on the good stuff in a minute)

(Izz making breakfast, she has been cooking for a while)

Alex: You couldnt sleep again?

(he has jeans on and is putting on his t-shirt as he walks into the kitchen Izzie watches as he enters the kitchen)

Izz: No, I did. I just thought I could bring Hannah some food from home you know? Cafeteria food isnt all its cracked up to be.

Alex: She would like that

Izz: I thought so.

Alex: (walks behind iz and smiles) so what you making?

(looks at the food but is not sure if its supposed to be scambled eggs or something else)

Izzie: Well, I was tired of pancakes and Im sure you guys are too, so I decided to try something different. I tried omelets.

(Alex reaches over and tastes a piece)

Izz: Good?

Alex: (makes a face) its good. You just need to cook it a bit more. And maybe add some seasonings or something.

Izz: oh.

(izz goes back to cooking and alex spits it out but iz doesnt see)

Izz: How did you become the expert all of a sudden?

Alex: (sitting down at the counter) Lets just say my mom was a pretty good cook, I paid attention every now and then. You pick up on these things.

Izz: So you know how to cook? (thinking why has he never said anything before)

Alex: not really. I don't have the patience.

Izz: (flipping another omelet with a spatula but it gets stuck) Me either.

(alex gets up to help her)

Alex: Let me try.

(izz hands him the pan, he lifts it off the stove, and gently loosens the bottom and serves it on the plate in the halfmoon omelet shape izz has been struggling with)

Izz: (frustrated that he made it look too easy) ok, you are so making your own breakfast from now on. (smiles and takes the omelet he fixed and sits down and starts to eat it)

Alex: hey, I thought that was for Hannah.

Izz: no, this was mine. (smiles) You ll make one for Hannah.

Alex: (smiles and starts to make enough for der mer and hannah) Its not as bad as you think

(Der and mer walk into the kitchen mer is giggling and der has his hand on her waist, mer sits down next to Izzie while der goes to fix them coffee)

Mer: Whats that?

Alex: (flipping another one on a plate) Omletes, (looks to what Izzie cooked) and scrambled eggs.

Izzie: (smiling) I tried. Ok?

Mer: it looks edible.

Der: (walking by izz and whispers) Its better than what Meredith would do.

(Alex and izz just laugh)

Der: (sits next to mer and kisses Mers neck) I still love you.

Mer: shut up. (der kisses her again and starts to feel her up)

Izz: (snaps at them) Seriously, do you guys ever take a break? Its bad enough that we have to hear you, and you re so loud I have to sleep in the living room because your room is so close to mine, but now I have to watch? Seriously. Take a break for gods sake. You two are like those freakin bunnies in the battery commercial, you never stop. seriously

Der: (looking to alex) Whats wrong with her?

Alex: (explaining as he sits next to them) Shes not getting any.

(izz looks at him in disbelief)

Der: (looks to iz and lets go of mer) sorry.

Mer: (gives her a sad face) sorry izz.

Izz: I am going to work. (takes her stuff and goes to leave)

Mer: (looking at alex) so shes not getting any. Does that mean you arent either? You two havent

(alex ignores the question and eats instead)

Der: (looking to mer) I think we are going to be late for work.

Mer: what? We still have 5 minutes before we have to leave

Der: come on. (der grabs her hand and they leave for work)

Alex: (sitting at the table alone) nope, not getting any.

(At addis place. Mark is just getting out of the shower and addi is still sleeping. He goes to wake her up)

Mark: Addi, (sits next to her and whispers as he kisses her neck) wake up.

Addi: (moans a bit and opens her eyes and looks at him and smiles and starts to stretch) hey.

Mark: how did you sleep?

Addi: Im good. (now getting up)

Mark: Anything I can do? (gives mcsteamy smile)

Addi: no, you ve done enough.

Mark: (getting up) get dressed, (pauses) I cant believe I just said that

Addi: me neither.

(they both laugh, and Mark gets up and finishes getting dressed for work. Addi gets up and pulls clothes out of her closet and puts them on, the skirt doesn't fit right, so she tries another, she has the same problem)

Addi: (tries on another skirt) Da it. (throws the skirt on the bed) Stupid clothes.

Mark: (looks at her out of the bathroom doorway) What?

Addi: I hate you. You know that? Right, I hate you.

Mark: What did I do?

Addi: (whiney) I am tired, Im nauseas, (raises her voice) And Im bloated

Mark: (laughing) that is not my fault. Blame the kid. (now holding her close) your perfect.

Addi: None of these skirts fit anymore, all of my 2s. Do you know how much each one costs?

Mark: (tucking in his shirt) Who cares? (he knows they both can afford it)

Addi: (Holds up them up individually) This is Gucci and (names another designer), and This is $500

Mark: (shocked) for that one? (addi nods and makes a face and he smiles) You can buy new ones.

Addi: (starting to tear up) seriously?

Mark: yeah, You re going to be in scrubs anyway most of the day, no one will notice.

Addi: (joking) your going to pay for getting me fat?

Mark: If new clothes makes you happy, (rolls his eyes) yeah. I guess. (smiles) Does that mean more s3 for me? (kisses her passionately and she doesnt answer) these mood swings?

(addi nods and goes to kiss him)

Mark: Turns me on

Addi: (tries not to smile) Leave my mood swings alone.

Mark: (hands her her scrub pants) So did you schedule your ultrasound today?

Addi: (lying) yeah.

Mark: (looks at his watch) I gotta go. I have an meeting with the chief. (addi looks suspicious) Its about my article on the CPS.

Addi: good luck.

Mark: page me if you need me. (walks out of the room)

(Now in the hospital, iz, alex, chris, George and Mer are getting dressed in scrubs)

Alex: (dressed in scrubs and leaning next to izzies locker) Izz, Im sorry about earlier.

Izz: (not wanting to talk about it) shut up about it.

Chris: (looking to mer while smirking) what happened to her?

(Mer opens her mouth to explain)

Izz: I said shut up. (goes to walk out, George grabs her arm)

George: hey izz, Hannahs ok right? Its not Hannah is it?

Alex: Hannahs fine.

George: (lets iz go) If you need to talk.

Izz: (smiles) Im ok.

George: ok.

(they are all paged to the clinic)

Mer: I guess we have to go.

(everyone walks out, George is leading, Izzie is following, mer and alex are walking together farther back and chris is listening to every word,)

Mer (whispering to alex) I don't see what the problem is.

Alex (whispers back) : it was better when you two were at the trailer.

Mer: so you are kicking me out of my own house?

Alex: no, Im just saying,

Mer: Am I really that loud?

Izzie: (annoyed) yes,

Mer: I cant help it. (looks to chris and smiles) I cant help it.

Izzie: can we drop it already?

Chris: Sounds like someone needs to get lid. (talking about izz)

Alex: Im trying. (mer and chris look at him) Shut up. (walks ahead of them)

Mer: (to chris) Did he just?

Chris: oh yeah. I heard it.

(now both of them are laughing)

Chris: now that was good.

Mer: that it was

(Mark in chiefs office)

Chief: I have to say that Im actually impressed. (looking over the article)

Mark: Thank you chief. It means a lot to me.

Chief: No, Im not promising it ll get published, but its well thought out. It looks like you covered every possible complication. All we have to do is wait for the follow up, and get the boards approval.

Mark: (talking about the follow up) They ll be here later today. (pauses) So you back me on it?

Chief: Its excellent work dr. Sloan.

Mark: Thanks Chief. (smiles) So I heard that you were taking time off soon?

Chief: (standing up) That will be all, Dr.Sloan.

Mark: Can I at least spread rumors to drive Derek mad thinking he has a chance at chief again?

Chief: No,

Mark: Alright.

(both walking out of the office and walking to the clinic)

Mark: So did Addison talk to you yet?

Chief: Talk to me about what?

Mark: Ohh, Nothing. Im sure she ll tell you soon enough.

Chief: (looks at him suspiciously) Shes not leaving again is she?

Mark: No, (joking) I think I found a way to keep her here for a while.

Chief: Really?

Mark: No, she just has some news.

Chief: but shes staying in Seattle?

Mark: As far as I know we both are.

(The residents meet Callie at the nurses station for orders, chief is watching to see if callie will actually start focusing on her job.)

George: you paged us Dr. Toress?

Callie yeah, (staring at mer and chris who can not stop laughing)

Mer: (pulling herself together) Sorry, callie.

Callie: alright, Omalley,

George: yeah?

Callie: Neonatal.

Chris: (whispers) baby squad. (laughing) Ohh, hes a babysitter.

Callie: (clears her throat) Grey, plastics. (mer nods and takes her chart) Karev/Neuro

(izz looks at him and smiles knowing hes taking care of Hannah)

Callie: And that leaves Stevens and Yang.

Yang: Cardio, I know. Im on my way.

Callie: (hands them all their files and smiles) Stevens Cardio, Yang, pit.

Yang: but wait. Pit? Me? Im going into cardio anyway. (looking at iz) We all know izzies not going cardio.

(Izzie glares at her)

Iz: whats that supposed to mean?

Chris: (ignoring iz) Whats the point?

Callie: Maybe you should have thought about that before you dissed my husband. (smiles) Pit. (she walks off, George walks after her) Im working George. We have rules.

George: (smiling and makes her laugh) yes, ma am.

Callie: I got to go, (kisses him quickly)

George: you are breaking a rule.

Callie: enjoy your surgery. Its a cool one.

George: thanks. (watches her walk off and goes back to tells his friends) I got a cool surgery.

Mer: (smiling) It helps to marry your boss.

Chris: umm, not for me. Hello, wedding day disaster

Mer: true, sorry.

George: maybe you should have eloped. (just as he says that mer slaps him in the arm) ow.

Mer: you dont mention burke to Christina.

George: she was the one that brought it up. (they look at George and he walks away quickly)

Alex: (getting closer to iz) Hey, later, if your not busy, we could get a coffee or something.

Izzie: (gets paged and doesnt really listen) Yeah. (walks off and alex looks dissapointed)

Mer: (to alex) You ve got it bad.

Alex: Dont you have coffee to fetch for sloan?

Mer: Maybe, but at least its not dry cleaning. And I scrub in on actual procedures. (walks away)

Chris: I get the pit. (walks away)

Alex: And Im bringing food to patients (he brings Hannah breakfast and goes to check with der to see if there are any surgical cases today)

(Addi walks into the hospital and spots Callie)

Addi: hey, callie. I need a favor.

Callie: (looking at films) yeah what is it?

Addi: When was your last ob rotation?

Callie: 2nd year as a resident. (looks at addi) no, I cant do your ultrasound. Chief is already on my a$$ for me not doing my job.

Addi: But I would do it for you.

Callie: Its your job. You are an obstetrician. If you break a bone and need it snapped back into place Id be your girl to do it.

Addi: Umm, yeah.no, I understand. I shouldnt have asked.

Callie: Its not

Addi: (nods head) no, I get it. I ll find someone else

Callie: why don't you ask another Ob?

Addi: because they would treat me like a patient.

Callie: (smiles) Well now you kind of are one.

Addi: that doesn't mean I need to be treated like one.

Bailey: (walks up) I heard.

Addi: heard what?

Bailey: (looking to callie) You stood up to Christina, its not an easy thing to do. Maybe you ll be a good resident chief after all.

Callie: there was never any doubt. (they all smirk)

Addi: Miranda, Do you have any free time, I need a favor?

Callie (rolls her eyes bailey sees)

Bailey: Actually I have a patient I have to check on. (bailey walks away)

Addi: (sarcastic) great.

Callie: ask another resident. Ask Karev, he already proved he could work under pressure right? (addi nods reluctantly) So ask him.

Addi: isn't that a bit weird. (now laughing) first we played doctor, now I ask him to be my doctor. Yeah, thats the story of Addi.

Callie: (laughing) completely mortifying. (starting to walk away) Oh, hes with shepherd today. Have fun.

Addi: yeah.

(just then a woman enters the clinic holding a 4 month old baby and She looks a bit lost)

Addi: (walking up to the woman) Can I help you with something?

Woman: yeah, Im supposed to meet dr.Sloan.

Addi: sure, Umm, I can page him for you.

Woman: thanks. Im in no hurry.

Addi: (pages mark and tells the woman) Cute kid.

Woman: thanks. Hes been through a lot.

Addi: he doesn't look like it.

Woman: (smiles) yeah, hes just here for a check up.

Mark: (walks up) Linda, (gives her a hug) nice to see you again.

(addi just watches suspicously)

Mark: (to addi) You remember Kyle, the CPS?

Addi: ohh, I didn't recognize him. (to Linda) Sorry about that.

Linda: (smiles) Its ok, I barely recognized him at first too.

Addi: (to mark) I have a patient I need to check on.

Mark: don't work to hard.

Addi: (smiles and walks away)

Mark: So, how is my little patient?

Linda: hes doing really well, you want to hold him?

Mark: (shakes his head no) thats ok.

Linda: no, its ok.

(gives him to mark and he looks really uncomfortable holding the baby)

Linda: I mean hes doing great. He is smiling all the time. I cant believe that there isn't even a scar.

Mark: (inspecting his work) Well, there is still some slight scaring, but it should lessen with time.

Linda: I didn't even notice. Its amazing what you did. I know that you were writing an article about it?

Mark: (smiles) Yeah, little kyles going to be famous.

Mer (walks up) Dr. Sloan, (he turns around hes still holding kyle, who reaches for marks face) is that Kyle? (smiles and makes kyle laugh)

Mark: (acting professional now) What did you want Dr. Grey? (hands kyle back to Linda)

Mer: Im your resident.

Mark: Ok, Check on Mr. Camel in preop, and prep him for surgery.

Mer: ok, (she stands still)

Mark: Prep for surgery.

Mer: oh, you mean now. I thought (points to Linda and kyle)

Mark: I got it here. (mer nods and walks away)

Linda: Wow, you seem busy.

Mark: It always is here. I ll give you a prescription for the scar, and that should be it.

Linda: so hes done with surgeries for good?

Mark: Well, I don't know about forever, but at least for now, yeah.

Linda: This is amazing. (seeing how uncomfortable he was with holding kyle) You dont have kids, but when you do, everything changes. You live just to see them smile, and you gave him his smile. Thank you dr. Sloan. For everything. I know people think that plastics is just superficial, but (pauses)Thanks.

Mark: yeah. (writes her the prescription and hands it to her)

Linda: good luck with the article. (walks away with baby kyle)

Mark: yeah. (waits a second, then goes to check on mr.Camel)

(Alex der, Hannah, and seizure patient)

(Alex checks in on Hannah, she is sitting up and reading a book, he brings her the food from earlier)

Alex: Hey, you look good today.

Hannah: Yeah, I feel a lot better. Dr. Shepherd said I could go home soon.

Alex: (checking her vitals) Cool. Good book?

Hannah: not really, its for school. (puts the book down)

Alex: (checking her breath sounds) Sounds good.

Hannah: Dr. Torres told me I can start to walk around soon. I ll need crutches, but Isnt that great?

Alex: Yeah. it is.

Hannah: Hey, Whats that? Is it for me?

Alex: Here, (giving her the container of food) We had some left from this morning, so I brought you some.

Hannah: (smiles) thanks. The cafeteria food sucks

Alex: Tell me about it.

(Hannah starts to eat and der walks in)

Der: Hi Hannah, How you feeling today?

Hannah: Really good. (shows der the bowl and smiles) Finally some real food.
Der: (smiles at Hannah) I see. (motions to alex) Dr. Karev?

Alex: (to Hannah as he is getting up) I ll come check on you later.

(walks over to der and they walk out the room)

Alex: yeah?

Der: Im going to be extra busy today, so I need you to take care of some of my patients personally.

Alex: Me? (looks back at Hannah the back at der) but Im not really

Der: They are simple cases. You can handle them. I ll be in a meeting, if you need something page me or Dr. Thomson. (starts to walk away)

Alex: Thomson? (sarcastically) Great. (starts checking on the new patients)

(Izzie runs into Dr. Burke)

Dr. Burke: Stevens. How are you holding up?

Izz: Im fine. Hannah is doing really good.

Burke: I heard.

Izz: Well, Im on cardio rotation today, so if you have a surgery I would love to scrub in.

Burke: I dont need you right now, but I ll page you if anything comes up. (starts to walk away)

Izz: Thanks Dr. Burke.

Burke: Sure, Stevens.

(Izz goes to look over the files of the cardio patients)

Izz: (reading the files out loud) 210, ventricular arrhythmias. 206b Collapsed lung, drainage tube, and dialysis, (more to self) Wow, thats not good. (grabs another file)

(Collins walks up)

Collins: (gives her a friendly smile) Izzie, right?

Izz: (looking up) Yeah. Dr. Collins (smiles back and looks at the files) Im on cardio rotation today.

Collins: ok, I think I have a patient for you. (izz looks happy) Room 213. Its nothing major. But you can have it

Izz: (happy izz) I get my own patient? By myself? All by myself? No help?

Collins: (walks away) I have a surgery.

Izz: Thanks, (smiles) cool. (and goes to check on room 213)

(Addison and George are already in surgery)

Addi: Dr. Collins should be joining us any second.

George: Collins? Hes cardio, why wasnt burke called?

Addi: Burke is needed in trauma right now, so Dr. Collins will assist. Any other questions omalley?

George: No ma am, I . (shakes head) No. (looks at the baby) shes so tiny.

Addi: Thats normal for baby born 7 weeks premature, Omalley.

George: (nervous) I know, I just meant that

Addi: I know. (smiles and continues to open the peritoneum)

(Collins walks into the OR)

Collins: Dr. Montgomery. (walks to the table) How are we doing so far? (Collins and addi continue in surgery)

Addi: Peritoneum open, obvious tear in the diaphragm.

George: which is causing difficulty with breathing. (looks at the monitor) O2 levels low (adding more O2)

Collins: Alright, (to addi) Have you done a diaphragmatic repair before?

Addi: Once or twice.

(Collins nods and starts to repair the damage)

Addi: (starting to get nauseas but tries to hide it) Collins do you have it here? (he nods) Omalley, assist. I ll be back in a second. (calmly walks out to go puke)

George: (worried) Is she ok?

Collins: (not really paying attention) Im sure she is. She probably just has another patient (to George) forceps.

(after a few minutes addi scrubs back in and continues with the surgery like nothing happened)

(Mer with Mr Camel hes in his early 30s, not bad looking)

Mer: Mr. Camel. Hi, Im dr. Grey. I will be assisting on your surgery today with Dr. Sloan. I just need to get you prepped.

Camel: Sure, go ahead.

Mer: (smiles) Ok, (starts to prep him)

Camel: Im Jon. You are really pretty.

Mer: (uncomfortable smile) thanks.

Camel: I bet your wondering why I need surgery.

Mer: not really. People come in for surgery all the time.

Camel: I mean I don't need the surgery, its just that my life would be so much easier with it you know?

Mer: I guess. (continues to prep him)

Camel: its just people dont take me seriously. With a new stronger nose, and a more prominent jaw maybe people will look at me differently.

Mer: so you are doing this for other people? Not yourself?

Camel: Its for both.

Mer: (nods but doesnt believe him) right. (finishes the prepwork) I ll be back in about a half an hour to bring you to surgery. (walks out)

(Callie is giving the interns orders she gave them all orders except for lexi and keli)

Callie: Grey and Mitchell we need someone doing charts and running labs. We are really backed up today.

Lexi: No problem Dr. Torres.

Keli: Both of us? (callie nods) Ok. Sure. Not a problem.

Callie: good. (starts to walk away) If you are paged, then you can scrub in, but I want all of those charts done by the end of today.

Keli: Yes, Doctor Torres.

(callie walks off feeling like she is finally doing her job)

Keli: (to lexi) So why didnt you stay at the bar the other night? You didnt even touch your drink.

Lexi: Its just not my thing anymore. Last time I got drunk, I slept with an attending, and well, I (doing chartwork) I don't want to talk about it.

Keli: If you want a guy, I can find you a guy. (smiles) Theres a cute resident I think you would like

Lexi: I dont know whats wrong with me. I broke up with him. didnt I? I think I did anyway, but why do I? (mumbles) I dont know,

Keli: (picking on her) your really have problems. You know that right?

Lexi: I was never like this before.

Keli: so he was that good?

Lexi: Im not talking about it.

(meanwhile Christina has been trying to get as many people out of the pit as quickly and as possible. Shes seen a bunch of patients and none of them are surgical its all flu cases. She is bored out of her mind, then she sees lexi and keli talking so she decides to walk over towards them)

Chris: dr. Grey and(looks at keli and addresses her as) whoever you are. Do you want in on a surgery?

Lexi: Yeah, but Dr. Torres told us that we had chart work.

Keli: Not if we were paged. (looks to chris) Dr. Mitchell at your service.

Chris: Alright, run the pit and if anything is surgical at all, page me. No one else. I ll let you scrub in, maybe.

Lexi: (nods) Ok.

Chris: good. and dont kill anybody. (walks off so she might be able to steal a good surgery from another doctor)

Nurse: (to lexi) Dr. Hanson needs these test results asap.

Lexi: Sure, Im on it. (walks over to the elevator to go to the lab)

(Izzie walks into room 213, she opens the chart and sees that its Hannahs mom)

Izz : Mrs. Kline, How are you feeling?

Caroline: Ive been better. Hows Hannah?

Izzie: Shes doing really good. She should be ready to go home any day now, and shes doing good. (checking carolines vitals and sort of rambles) The only thing is she cant remember anything about me, which is normal I guess. I mean shes never even seen me. It makes sense.

Caroline: So you havent told her anything?

Izzie: With patients who are amnesiac you really want the memories to come to them, its much less traumatic when they remember it themselves. (checks carolines scars for any signs of infections)

Caroline: How does it look?

Izzie: The scaring could be better, but you look good. (writing on the chart) Hows your pain?

Caroline: Its not good.

Izzie: I ll give you something to make you more comfortable. (goes to walk out of the room)

Caroline: Why are you being nice to me?

Izzie: (turns around) What do you mean? You are hannahs mother, you raised her. It's the least I can do. (pauses) If you need anything, just tell the nurses to page me. (smiles)

Caroline: Im sorry (she starts to break down) Im so sorry Izzie.

Izzie: Is something wrong? (walks closer to Caroline and lowers her voice) are you in pain?

(Izzie double checks her vitals until caroline says)

Caroline: I wanted to hate you. I really did, Then when Hannah got sick, (pauses and starts to tear up again) we didnt tell her about you.

Izzie: (shocked) You didnt?

Caroline: No, (feels ashamed) I was selfish. I didnt want her to love you more than she loved us. It sounds so stupid. I know.

Izz: no, (shakes her head) She doesnt know me. (smiles sadly) Its better that way.

Caroline: So you dont want to see her?

Izz: I mean It would be nice, but (now izz tears up) shes your daughter, not mine.

Caroline: (thinks of her husband) I have to raise her by myself now dont I?

Izz: (gets paged) I have to go. Page me if you need anything. (walks out of the room)

Caroline: (to self) Now I raise her by myself.

(Der knocks on chiefs office)

Chief: (sitting at his desk) Come in, Derek.

Der: Chief

Chief: Sit down.

(Der sits down)

Der: ok, (folds his arms) Whats this about chief?

Chief: I have been thinking about this for a long time now, and there is only one logical choice.

Der: (scratches his head) ok.

Chief: I need to take some time off.

Der: But

Chief: I need to spend more time with Adele. After everything we ve been through, I think now is the right time.

Der: time?

Chief: Im not retiring, at least not yet, so dont ask.

Der: (nods trying to figure this out) Your not.

Chief: I need someone to take over on the days that Im not here.

Der: (smiles) Well thats not a problem. Who did you pick?

Chief: (gives him a look like you should already know)

Der: (unsure) oh, me? (pauses) Sure chief, but

Chief: good, well that's settled. (standing up) Tomorrow, I need you to look over these (hand him a pile of papers) And I ll see you in a week

Der: (looks at the papers and stands up) Wait, a week?

Chief: (smiles) Adele and I decided to finally take a vacation, We are going to Italy. Vinice actually. First time I take a vacation in over 20 years. Can you believe that?

Der: (smiles) Yeah. (they both walk out of the office)

Chief: Did you happen to hear anything about Addison?

Der: No, not lately.

Chief: Oh, well, alright then.

(Lexi is waiting for the elevator, when the doors open she sees mark. he was on his way to meet with mer for their surgery. She steps on the elevator with him and the doors close)

Lexi: Mark.

Mark: Dr. Grey

Lexi: Im sorry.

Mark: (clears his throat and stares towards the elevator.)

Lexi: I need to talk to you. I know that, well. I was a stupid intern. Im just not used to this whole thing.

Mark: Its over. (tries to avoid eye contact)

Lexi: I know. I mean since that night, I cant think of anything else. I even tried retail therapy, and it didnt help. (looking at mark) that night. It was good right?

(mark looks at her and she leans forward, next scene shows Mer waiting for the elevator, the doors open and mer sees Mark and lexi going to opposite sides of the elevator)

Mer: Mark?

(Mark fixes his lab coat and walks out of the elevator, mer looks at both of them in disbelief, lexi walks off to the lab)

Mark: So, Dr. Grey. Is Mr. Camel prepped for surgery?

Mer: (still shocked) Yeah.

Mark: Lets get him into surgery. It shouldnt take long.

Mer: I just have a thing I have to do. I ll be right back.

Mark: Hurry up Grey, or I ll have to start without you.

Mer: (walks away and mumbles something under her breath)

(After taking care of some other patients, alex is helping Hannah get used to her crutches. They are walking in the hallway)

Hannah: This gets tiring after a while.

Alex: Yeah, If you need to slow down, or sit down for a second thats cool.

Hannah: (shakes her head and keeps walking) Im good.

Alex: Alright.

(mer walks up to alex, she is a bit panicked)

Mer: Alex, Did you see Derek?

Alex: not for a couple hours, he had a meeting.

Mer: (nods) yeah, he told me. but the meeting should be over by now. (to herself) Where is he? (to alex) Did he say where he would be?

Hannah: Are you ok, Dr.Grey?

Alex: He should be back later.

Mer: (is paged its mark) Da it. I have to go. Tell Derek Im looking for him. Oh, Hi Hannah. (starts to walk away)

Hannah: Is she always like this?

Alex: Sometimes.

Hannah: Remind me not to be a doctor.

Alex: we re not all crazy you know.

(chris walks up to alex)

Chris: Hey, evilspawn. Do you have a surgery anytime soon?

Alex: Nope. (keeps walking with Hannah) And If I did I wouldnt give it to you.

Chris: What is it with people today. Everyone else has a surgery, and they wont let me in on it. People suck. Im surgeryless. And Im, you suck.

Hannah: (to alex) you re not all crazy?

(Alex: is paged and sees some nurses run into a patients room)

Alex: Christina, Help her to her room. (runs to take care of the patient)

Chris: (yells at alex) What am I a nurse? (more to self) That should be me in there.

Hannah: then why arent you in surgery? If you really wanted one, you would be there already. Somethings stopping you.

Chris: Shut up and walk. And mind your own business (Hannah laughs)

(they make it into hannahs room and chris helps her back into bed)

Chris: What are you a psychiatrist?

Hannah: no, Im just observant.

Chris: Yeah, your just nosy. (Hannah smiles just like Izzie would) Your just like (doesnt finish her sentence)

Hannah: Just like who?

Chris: Nobody. Your ok in here? Ok, Im going. (goes to walk out)

Hannah: Just like Izzie. I know.

Chris: (stops and turns around) you do? Did she tell you?

Hannah: I heard the other day when I was in CT. It was an accident. I shouldn't have heard. What is she like? My mom?

Chris: Shes, (feeling really uncomfortable) I ll have a nurse check on you later. (walks out to go find a surgery)

(Izz answering her page, she walks into the OR)

Burke: You re scrubbed in?

Izz: Yes, Dr. Burke.

Burke: Good, Come take care of these bleeders.

Izz: (she does) Thank you for paging me.

Burke: Apply more pressure stevens.

Izz: Sure.

Burke: (doing a complicated procedure and the instrument slips) I need more suction. Stevens control the bleeders. (iz does)

Izz: BP is dropping. (looks to nurse) Hang another unit.

Burke: (controls the bleeding and starts on the repair work Izz helps out as much as she can, some time passes)

Izz: I met Hannahs mom today. I met her before, but I met her today.

Burke: I know. (to nurse) Retractor.

Izz: How long do you think she ll be in recovery?

Burke: We need to focus on this patient right now, stevens.

Izz: oh, I know. I was just asking.

Burke: (finishing the procedure) Thank you dr. Stevens. I got it from here. That will be all.

Izz: (puts down the instruments) ok. (walks out)

(In the scrub room with addi Collins and George)

Collins: Good work, Dr. Montgomery.

Addi: Thanks. Omalley bring our patient into the NICU.

George: yes, Dr. Montgomery. (scrubs out quickly and leaves)

Collins: (to addi) Do you always get nauseous in the OR? (scrubing out)

Addi: What? I wasnt.

Collins: Yeah, no of course you werent. (smiles)

Addi: Ok, maybe I was. But that doesnt mean anything. And you wont say a thing to anybody.

Collins: (nods) Say what?

Addi: Exactly. (walking out) Thanks Collins.

Collins: No problem. Hey, Montgomery, you know where I could find Dr. Yang?

Addi: (smiles suspiciously) Christina?

Collins: Yeah. (walking out the scrub room) I may have a surgery later and I heard she was good with cardio.

Addi: You could say that.

(mark in surgery, he just started, Mer walks in and tries to avoid looking at mark)

Mark: about time Dr. Grey. (Mocking her) How was the thing?

Mer: just fine. (comes to the table)

Mark: (hands her a tool) Ive already finished the jaw reconstruction, Start on the Rhinoplasty.

Mer: Seriously?

Mark: (taking the tool back) Well, I could do and you would just watch, but I thought you might want some hands on experience.

Mer: Ok. (takes the tool)

Mark: Ok, we retracted the tip, now you need to apply some force to break up the bones. (mcsteamy smile) Don't be aftraid to be a bit rough with it.

Mer: (looks at him in disbelief, then starts to break the nose so it can be reshaped) Why do you let me do the surgeries when you dont let the others?

Mark: You dont beg to be in on a surgery. And your good at it. (gives her a dirty smile) Plus us DMCs need to stick together. (dmc is dirty mistress club)

Mer: (looking at him and takes a deep breath) I dont like you right now.

Mark: Ok, and your honest. (takes the tool back and starts the reconstruction)

Mer: (speaking so only he can hear her) What are you doing with Addison?

Mark: We re good. (continues surgery)

Mer: (now upset) Then what are you doing with my sister, my half sister? My, what are you doing with lexi?

Mark: (Looking up at her) You saw?

Mer: (angry) Yes I saw.

Mark: I didnt do anything.

Mer: Yeah. like I believe that.

(Mark finishes the surgery which takes like another half and hour and they scrub out)

(Alex with the other patient, the patient is having seizures when alex walks in)

Alex: What do we have?

Nurse: He just started seizing. I gave him a new IV an hour ago, and now this.

Alex: (looking over the chart) Did you page shepherd?

Nurse: I tried but he wasnt answering.

Alex: (gives the patient a shot of medicine and they stop seizing) Did you page Thomson?

Nurse: He was in surgery. You were the only other person I could reach.

Alex: Alright, I need an intern, page someone and tell them I need a CT, MRI and I need someone to call shepherd.

Nurse: I can try again, but

Alex: (checking the mans vitals once more and looks at the Iv to make sure it's the right one) Are you sure this is the same concentration as the last one?

Nurse: Pretty sure.

Alex: pretty sure isnt good enough (Looks over the notes and tells her) Lower it to 1, and page me if he changes.

Nurse: yes Dr. Karev.

(alex walks out)

(some time passes)

(alex is sitting at the table waiting for izz to show up, mer walks up and puts her tray down)

Mer: did you see Derek yet?

Alex: He said hed be busy today, so no. Why are you sitting here?

Mer: We always eat here.

Alex: Not always.

Mer: (smiles) you have a date with Izzie, is that what this is about?

Alex: No. (takes a sip of his drink)

(Now chris shows up)

Chris: (sees alex is not happy) Hey, no linen closet action yet?

Alex: Im finding new friends.

Chris: No one else would take you in.

Mer: (smiles) your stuck with us.

(George shows up)

George: Hey, do you guys think that Dr. Montgomery has been acting strangely lately?

Chris: get straight to the point why dont you.

Mer: (to George) Why would you say that? (wondering if addi knows about mark/lexi already)

George: no reason, its just, do you think she could be pregnant?

(Izzie walks to the table and sits next to alex)

Izzie: hey what are we talking about? (alex hands her a coffee)

Alex: (pointing to the table with addi and mark) Montgomerys pregnant. George thinks she is anyway.

Izzie: She is? By who?

Alex: Sloan, who else?

Chris: What is it baby-gate around here? (takes a bite of food) Mer you re next.

Mer: (choking on her drink) Me? (looks at all of them) Why me?

Alex: Well, there was bailey, (points to chris) her, Izz, Addison

George: And Callie and I are trying.

Chris: Aparantly not trying hard enough. (takes another sip) and she doesnt count.

George: you are just rude, (lowers his voice) and hateful.

Chris: (to mer) Everyones been pregnant except for you.

Mer: Maybe Im just careful.

(they all look at her and there is an awkward silence)

Mer: What?

Izz: Come on how careful can you be? You two are doing it at all hours, basically nonstop. (steals a fry from alexs plate)

Alex: (takes a bite) Its bound to happen sooner or later.

Mer: I am not nor will I be pregnant. (shrugs) I had the appendix thing, that was enough of a scare for me. And besides, (takes a bit of her sandwich) Addison is not pregnant, shes engaged.

(everybody looks at mer)

George: You sure?

Mer: Well, Derek said that mark asked her, she would have said yes right?

(mer is paged)

Mer: Its Derek, I have to go. Its important. (walks away)

Chris: (joking) Be careful. (mer gives chris a dirty look)

George: (getting back on topic) but she didnt have a ring. And she was nauseous during surgery.

Chris: Some people dont need a ring. Its too restrictive. Maybe she just didnt want the stupid ring.

Alex: Dude, She wouldnt marry Sloan.

Izzie: Why not? (takes a sip of her coffee)

(everyone gives Izzie a look)

Izzie: What? Manwhor3s cant change? People change.

Chris: Yeah right (gets paged) I have to go, its the pit. (smiles) Surgery (leaves the table)

(George keeps talking, but they arent listening)

Alex: (to iz) You want to check on Hannah? Im supposed to bring her some food so I have to go anyway, you can come with me if you want.

Izz: That sounds good. I can let her know about her mom. (they both get up an leave)

George: (looks up as they are leaving) ohh, bye.

(at the lunch room scene addi is sitting at a table waiting for mark, she really isn't having a great day. he starts to walk towards her)

Mark: Hey, (sits down) You ok? You don't look good. (passes her a drink)

Addi: Im good. Whats that? (looks at the cup suspiciously) Juju? You jujued me? You dont do the juju.

Mark: It has antioxidants, and calcium. Its healthy.

Addi: (laughs) Hot Chocolate is healthy?

Mark: (smiles) It is in moderation, Its been approved by your doctor. Drink. (addi does) You hungry? Want me to get you anything?

Addi: I cant eat.

Mark: ok, (scoots closer to her and runs his hand through her hair and smiles) how you holding up?

Addi: Ok, why all the questions, mark? Im fine.

Mark: Ok then. (now drinking his cappuccino) How was the ultrasound?

Addi: I didnt go yet.

Mark: Why? You want me to be there?

Addi: no.

Mark: oh.

Addi: I ll schedule it later. Its not like its a big deal or anything. I ll do it later today.

Mark: So who will be your doctor? Dr. Landon (the ob resident)?

Addi: I haven't decided yet. (takes another sip) I gave you an answer to your question (pauses) right?

Mark: Which one? (knowing what shes asking)

Addi: Your question? (gives him a look)

Mark: didnt you? (wants her to tell him)

Addi: (wondering if he thinks she said yes) Im asking you. Did I?

Mark: (getting the point) So, do you want a ring or something? Is that what this is about?

Addi: A ring? Mark what are you

Mark: (takes a sip of his drink and reaches for his pocket) well, you never really said yes or no, so I just going to ask you flat out. (puts a box on the table)

Addi: (quietly) Mark,

Mark: yes or no.

Addi: (shocked) Seriously? (panicked) You re serious? (now serious) seriously?

(Mark just nods she takes a deep breath)

(chris going into the pit, she sees bailey waiting on her)

Chris: Dr. Bailey, Someone paged me. Wheres the surgery?

Bailey: Torres gave you the pit. where the hell have you been? I know that you may have things that may seem more important that this, You think that you are more important than pit duty, but you are a doctor, a surgeon and you need to follow orders. Do you know what happens when you decide to not follow orders (chris opens her mouth to speak) People die, Things get blown up, or you, you just make your superiors look bad. And you will not make me look bad.

Chris: But.

Bailey: Did I say I was finished? (starts to reprimand her some more, and the camera looks to someone standing behind Christina)

Collins: Im sorry, Dr. Bailey. (chris turns around to look at him)

Bailey: And who are you?

Collins: Ty Collins, Cardio. (lying) I had a patient that needed immediate attention, so I asked the first person I saw. I didnt realize Dr. Yang was already assigned. Im sorry. Its my fault Dr. Bailey. I asked her to scrub in.

Bailey: (Looks to chris who gives a slight smile and nod) Yang, you have patients to deal with.

Chris: Yes, dr. Bailey. Right away.

Bailey: (gives them a look before leaving) Yeah. it better be.

Collins: I saved you a$$ back there.

Chris: My a$$ is fine.

Collins: (flirting) It is

Chris: And I don't need saving.

Collins: (smiles) you owe me.

Chris: No, you owe me, you said you asked me to scrub in, I want a surgery.

Collins: (making a deal) Coffee for surgery.

Chris: (looking over a file) Deal.

Collins: (nods) Get to work Dr. Yang. You have patients to tend to.

Chris: (confused) What about the deal? The surgery?

Collins: (smiles) You have patients. (chris looks at him) I ll page you. (smiles and walks away)

Chris: Who does he think he is? (goes to take care of the patients)

Callie: About an hour before the surgery.

Thomson: so are you going to tell me what its about?

Callie: no, I want to tell George first. I need to tell George first. I cant let him find out from somebody else. You know?

Thomson: me too, but why wouldnt we be?

Callie: (looks at him like he doesn't already know) Oh come on, you remember what happened.

Thomson: why did we never go out?

Callie: (joking) Because you re a loser, and a nerd, (rolls her eyes) and a complete dork. Not to mention full of yourself.

Thomson: (joking) And you are an insanely hot, married, heiress chick who has the hots for me.

Callie: (sarcastically) Yep, thats me. (laughing and shakes her head) Not going to happen in a million years.

(der is in his office, mark knocks and walks in)

Mark: So shep, you paged? You have a case for me?

Der: no, sit down mark.

Mark: (smiles) people are bossy today.

Der: (upset) Sit down and shut up.

Mark: (wondering what this is about) Derek, Chill. Whats going on?

(this part gets pretty heated, so there is lots of yelling)

Der: You and addi, What the hell were you thinking Mark?

Mark: This is about addi? Addi is none of your business, you divorced her remember? Addi is not your responsibility anymore.

Der: This is not about Addison, Mark and you know it. It is about you being who you really are, You never changed all this time, and you never will.

Mark: I don't walk away from my responsibilities, Im not you Derek.

Der: Whats that supposed to mean?

Mark: You werent there for her, and you walked away.

Der: this is not about me.

Mark: (upset) So what did I do this time? Because aparantly I did something to pi$$ you off. And I think I deserve an explanation.

Der: You and lexi in the elevator. Mark, What were you thinking. Well aparantly you werent using your brain.

Mark: (calmly) So Meredith told you she saw us together?

Der: Yeah.

Mark: Well did she tell you nothing happened?

Der: You cant be serious. Mark with you something always happens. I know you better than that.

Mark: She came on to me.

Der: (not believing him) Whatever. You know, Addison will find out sooner or later. And when she does,

Mark: (upset) You want to know the truth? Fine. I told Lexi it was over, she tried to kiss me, and I pushed her away. Thats it. (yells) You happy now? (now normal) I dont want to hurt addi, Not anymore. I finally got what I wanted. And Im not going to let that slip through my fingers.

Der: (still not believing him) So your saying nothing happened?

Mark: Im saying (pauses) Learn the facts before you accuse someone. (still angry) Because this time I am not the guilty one.

Der: (sees how upset mark is and says calmly) your telling the truth?

Mark: I am. (goes to walk out) And if you dont believe me, thats up to you. (walks out and slams the door)

(Mark walks out of ders office afer slaming the door, her turns to go back to check on his patients, when he sees addi)

Addi: (worried) Mark?

Mark: Not now Addison.

(mark starts walking off to cool down, and Derek opens the door))

Addi: Derek? What is going on?

Derek: he was telling the truth.

Addi: What?

Derek: nothing, I said something I shouldnt have. you need something Addi?

Addi: yeah, (uncomfortable asking this) I need to borrow Karev for a bit.

Derek: Yeah, no problem.

Addi: thanks.

(der sees the ring on her finger)

Der: he asked you?

Addi: oh, (smiles uncomfortably) yeah.

Der: hmm.

Addi: what?

Der: nothing.

Addi: What, you think its a mistake. It probably is, but I dont care.

Der: you dont?

Addi: I have to try to make it work. If it doesnt at least I didnt give up. Right?

Der: He wont leave you.

Addi: (looks at him strangly)

Der: Good luck.

Addi: thanks?

(der walks off to take care of his patients, and addi walks to the nurses station where she sees alex)

Addi: Karev.

Alex: I was paged, Im not on gynie today.

Addi: (still uncomfortable) um, I know. I paged. I need someone to do an ultrasound.

Alex: Omally is your resident today, make him do it. I have patients to take care of.

Addi: ok, maybe you didnt understand. I need an ultrasound done, and Im asking you as an attending asking a resident.

Alex: What?

Addi: (stressing the I) I need an ultrasound.

Alex: You are pregnant arent you?

Addi: (looking around to see if anyone heard) Look, Im not asking you because I want to, because trust me if there was someone else I could pick I would. but You are the only resident I trust with this. So will you do it or not?

Alex: Yeah.

Addi: great.

(now in the exam room, addi is lying on the bed and alex is putting the gel on her stomach)

Alex: So how far along are you? (starts the ultrasound)

Addi: Im not sure.

Alex: (smirks) your not?

Addi: do the stupid ultra sound and lets get this over with.

Alex: ok, I think I see it, yep, right there. (looks at the monitor, but addi cant see it from where she is)

Alex: Any morning sickness yet?

Addi: Yeah.

Alex: makes sense.

Addi: what?

Alex: Looks like your about 4 weeks.

Addi: I am?

Alex: Yeah, why?

Addi: That explains a lot. (thinking of the oncall room action when lexi walked in on her and mark)

Alex: I ll print it out so you could see it yourself. Maybe I missed something.

Addi: Its just one right?

Alex: (laughs) Yeah, just one.

Addi: good.

Alex: (gets a towel to wipe of the gel, but hands it to addi instead. He sees addi ring when she takes the towel) So sloan did ask you. Mere was right.

Addi: oh, yeah. (laughs lightly) You cant keep secrets around here.

Alex: (nods) Alright, I ll see you in 2 weeks.

Addi: (picks up her head) what? (sarcastically knowing what the other exam is) great. This is so embarrassing.

Alex: Look, Ive seen it all already.

Addi: dont remind me.

Alex: You ll need your follow-ups and your regular prenatal exams and at your age, we need to monitor you more closely.

Addi: (offended) my age?

Alex: (smirking) I see you have the mood swings too. (trying to convince her that hes going to be professional) Look, Im a doctor, you re a patient. I ll let you read any results if you want. But its not a big deal. Im just doing my job.

Addi: thanks.

Alex: (takes out the pad to write a prescription) you want prenatal vitamins?

Addi: (smiles) yeah.

Alex: (writes the prescription and hands it to her) Alright. 2 weeks.

Addi: thanks alex.

Alex: (reminding her shes now a patient) Dr. Karev.

Addi: (smiles) Im still your boss.

Alex (hands her the sonogram) I know. Tell sloan congratulations. (talking about the baby and engagement)

Addi: How do you know its Marks?

Alex: (knowing the timeline) It is Marks, unless you slept with anybody else in that time frame, but Im guessing its Marks.

Addi: (nods) yeah. it is.

Alex: Congratulations. (leaves the room)

Chris: (stating the obvious) Im working.

Burke: I know, I have a coronary artery bypass graft scheduled.

Chris: (looking up at him) Now?

Burke: In about an hour, (seeing she wants in on it) But if your too busy with pit, I understand.

Chris: No, (she can not believe shes turning down this surgery) I have other plans.

Burke: (suspicious) turning down surgeries? I never would have thought you would do that.

Chris: Im already scrubbing in

Burke: You are?

Chris: (is paged and sees Collins walking up to her and gives burke a look) Im already scrubbing in.

Collins: (hands her the coffee) here is your coffee as promised. (smiles at burke) Hello doctor burke. I hope you dont mind I asked Dr. Yang here to scrub in. I heard she was really good with cardio.

Burke: (keeps composure) Right. (looks at Christina who forces a smile) Good luck with your surgery. Both of you. (starts to walk away)

Chris: (calls after him) Burke.

Burke: (turns around) yes? Dr. Yang.

Chris: Your surgery is in an hour?

Burke: that is correct.

Chris: (looking at Collins) I can do both. (now looking back at burke) I can scrub in on both. I ll do the (looking at Collins to find out what the surgery is)

Collins: The (medical)

Chris: right, I ll do the (medical) then I ll scrub in on the bypass. Perfect solution.

Burke: The (medical) will take at least 3 hours, my patient doesnt have that much time to wait on you dr. Yang. Maybe next time.

Chris: (eager) Ok, I ll scrub in for 2 hours on the (medical) , then meet you for the bypass. (burke stops walking) (looks into burkes eyes and grabs his arm) Look, I can do this. Let me in on the surgery.

Burke: (wanting her to scrub in with him, that sounds vaguely dirty but it isnt ok maybe it is) Fine. (holds back a smile) Dr. Yang you will be scrubbing in.

Chris: (smiles) yes.

Burke: but I think your boyfriend may have a problem with that. (walks off leaving Christina alone)

Chris: (quietly to burke but more to self) He is not my boyfriend.

(turns around and walks back to Collins and takes her coffee back and drinks it quickly)

Collins: (wondering what they talked about) Well? (both walking to OR2 and scrub in)

Chris: Its settled.

Collins: (confused) it is?

Chris: Its just a surgery.

Collins: (nods) thats all Im saying.

Chris: ok then. (looks at Collins and smiles) good.

Collins: ok. (now flirting) Unless you want to make this a habit? (chris glares at him) ok or not. Up to you.

(they walk into the OR and begin the surgery)

(back in hannahs room)

Hannah: (looking at izz) I know.

Izz: so what do you know? exactly? Did alex tell you? Did he (doesn't finish her sentence)?

Hannah: (shakes head no) I figured it out. (smiles slightly) Im smarter than I look, you know. (pauses) So you were my bone marrow donor?

Izz: yeah. Your parents asked me.

Hannah: oh, (pauses and asks quietly) Why did you give me up?

(izz realizes she really knows, Hannah avoids eye contact)

Hannah: You didnt want me?

Izz: I did want you. I really did, but I didnt want you to grow up like I did. (trying to explain) I wasnt always a doctor. I never had a lot. (shakes her head slightly) I knew I couldnt give you the life you needed. (speaks softer) I wanted more for you. (pauses) your parents gave you that.

Hannah: (nods and is trying to understand) So you were poor?

(Izzie reaches for a cupcake from hannahs tray and starts to eat it not paying attention to what shes saying)

Izz: it was before the modeling and the 8.7 million dollars and the

Hannah: (eyes get big) million? You make that much? (more to self) I want to be a doctor.

Izz: (correcting her) I dont make that much.

(izz offers her a piece, but Hannah shakes her head no)

Hannah: So what did you do with it? the money

Izz: (smiles and finishes the piece) I bought a clinic.

Hannah: oh. (nods head slightly and pauses)

(iz realizes Hannah wants to ask something else)

Izz: Whats wrong?

Hannah: Who is my dad? I mean I do have a biological dad, right? (pauses) is it alex?
