It was two weeks after the happily married couple came back from Greece. Everything was doing fantastic now at work. Veronica, Harmony and Jackson were doing well. Christi was very excited about her pregnancy. It was a slow day at Seattle Grace today. No one was expecting what was coming.
The blonde walked into Seattle Grace, fully intending to succeed what she had in mind. She walked up to the nurse's station and asked for Alex Karev.
"Of course," she nurse said, grateful to see the doctor again. She paged Alex and soon he came up, and was shocked.
"Izzie," he said, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take you back." she said. He pulled her into an on-call room.
"You can't, I'm happily married now."
"You were happier with me." she said.
"Not the least bit," he scoffed, "The majority of our marriage was hell. Now I have a kid on the way, a step-son. I'm happy."
"You can me with me, have plenty of kids that are all your's." she said seductively.
"No," Alex refused.
"C'mon, I've missed you. I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry about everything."
"Look, you tried fixing it. I rejected you."
"And now I'm gonna talk some sense into you. You're better off with me." she said. She pulled him by the shirt to her and kissed him long and deep. He tried to push her away, but she'd gotten stronger while she was gone.
At that same moment, Christi walked by the room. Through the window, she saw her husband's lips interlocked with some blonde's. Tears immediately came to her eyes. It looked like he was enjoying it, the way he was holding onto her shirt and hair. Little did Christi know that he was trying to pull her off.
Christi ran into another empty on-call room and cried her eyes out. Soon, Veronica walked in and gasped.
"Chris, what's wrong?" she asked, sitting down and hugging her friend.
"Alex was kissing some blonde woman." Christi sobbed, "He enjoyed it!"
"I'm gonna go kick his ass!" Veronica growls.
"Don't, just go tell my dad!" Christi sobs. Veronica nods and goes to find Mark. He's in the cafeteria eating with Callie and Arizona.
"Mark!" Veronica exclaims, "Come here!"
Mark stands and goes over to her, "What's wrong?"
"Alex was kissing some blonde woman and now Christi's falling apart."
"I'm gonna kick his ass!"
"That's what I said, but I'm pretty sure you're obliged to. Now let's go!"
They go to the on-call room that Christi's in and sit on either side of her.
"Christi, what happened?" Mark asks. Christi explains everything and they go to the on-call room he was in.
They see him arguing with a blonde woman that Mark recognized.
"Izzie?" he whispers. They barge in there and Mark yells at Alex, "I'm gonna kick your ass!"
"Why?" Alex asks.
"You were kissing this bitch!" Veronica yells.
"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me! I was tried to push her off, I finally succeeded by pulling her hair!"
"It hurt, he's an asshole." Izzie muttered.
"You probably deserved it. Don't you know Alex is married with a child and one on the way?" Veronica asks snappishly.
"Yeah, but I don't care. He's better off with me."
"Like hell he is!"
"My daughter isn't going to be replaced by you." Mark growled.
"I think the three of use know she replaced me. This one," Izzie pointed to Veronica, "Doesn't know, of course."
"Shut the fuck up," Veronica snapped.
"Look, you can just leave and go back where you came from. I don't want you here. I already told you that way long ago when we tried fixing things. I said you don't deserve me."
"And now?" Izzie asks.
"Neither one of us deserves the other." he said simply.
"Okay, you can stop with this lovey-dovey thing." Veronica said, "Leave."
"Okay," Izzie said, placing her purse over her shoulder, "But I'll be back."
She leaves the on-call room and Mark said, "Christi's very upset."
"I would expect so. I'm gonna talk to her." Alex said, leaving to go to the on-call room she was in. She was still crying, and just cried harder when he walked in.
"Go away," she whimpered.
"Christi, it wasn't what you saw." he said, "She was here, trying to get me back. It was Izzie, she kissed me, attacked me. I was trying to get her off and got her off by pulling her hair and stuff. I yelled at her afterwards and she left."
"Go away, leave!" she sobbed.
"Stress isn't good for the baby! I swear I didn't want her to kiss me! I don't want her here!"
"Leave! I'm gonna stay with dad and Lexie for a while." Christi sobbed. Alex sighed and left the room. XXX
For a while Christi stayed with Mark and Lexie they all tried to convince her Alex was telling the truth, but she wasn't going to budge. She took a few days off from work to process what she and Seth would do. She couldn't think of anything, but had to go back to work. So when she was at work, she ignored Alex at all costs. She only talked to him if it was about a patient or anything medical.
Izzie came back a week after her first visit. She was in scrubs and had a stethoscope around her neck.
"What's going on?" Alex asked.
"I work her now."
"Again?"
"Yeah, again. I intend to get you back. Now with Christi angry at you, it gives me a good chance."
"That's Christi. I don't want you." Alex growls.
"Now, Alex, don't be mean." she giggles as Christi walks by, fuming.
"Izzie, I mean this. Get out of my life, and stay out." Alex growls threateningly.
"No," is all she says and then runs off because of a page.
Meanwhile, Christi steaks out in an on-call room, waiting for Mark to pass. When he does, she pulls him in.
"Dad, I can't take this. I can't be here with them here. I can't take it!"
"Here," Mark said at her hysterics, "Why don't you go to New York for a while. You can stay with my parents for a little while. The hospital there would also love to have you."
"Okay," she says, "Thank you." XXX
Christi left for New York and has been gone for two weeks. This gives Izzie free room to harass Alex and for him to keep rejecting her. He was falling apart too without the love of his life with him. She was currently on the phone with Mark.
"I'm thinking about having Seth and I move out here. I like the hospital and I think it'd be a good opportunity." Christi says.
"What about Alex?" Mark says. Christi doesn't know that Mark's phone is on speaker, and Alex is with Mark and can hear everything she's saying.
"What about him? I can be a single parent again. He has Izzie to love him. We could divorce and if he sues for custody, I'll use what I have on him about Izzie to keep the baby."
"Okay, well New York has a good hospital. I'll support you with whatever you decide to do, Christi." Mark said. Alex was keeping silent.
"Okay, thanks, and don't mention this to Alex." Christi said. Then she hung up.
Mark turned to Alex, "You have to go get her."
"I know I do," Alex said, "And I'm going to. I'm buying the first ticket out to New York and dragging her back here. She has to see that I hate Izzie and only love Christi."
"I'd rather have her here, with you, where she and Seth are happy. She'll ruin Seth's trust in you by doing this. And you're innocent."
"I know!"
"She has to think of what's better for Seth and the child and realize that you only love her." Mark sighs, "Go get my daughter, make her happy." XXX
A few hours later, Alex was on a plane to New York. He arrived and went straight to the address Mark gave him. He knocked on the front door and a Hispanic woman answered.
"Hi, is Christi here?" Alex asked.
"Miss Sloan is upstairs." the woman let him in.
"Who are you?" Alex asked.
"The maid," an uptight man with a British accent said, "And I'm the butler."
"The Sloan's are fricking rich." Alex muttered.
"Indeed," the butler said. Alex climbs the stairs two at a time and knocks angrily at Christi's door.
"What!" she yelled. Alex stormed into the unlocked room. "Alex, go away!"
"No! You're going to listen to me, Christi!" Alex growls, "Izzie kissed me, I did not kiss her. She has gotten her position back at Seattle Grace just to ruin my life! She wants me back, but all I want is you. The only person I love is you, Christi! I'm stopping this before it goes further! You will come back to Seattle with me whether you like it or not, because I love you and I'm not gonna let you go because of something you saw!"
Then he storms over to her and sits down on the bed next to her. He takes her face in his hands and kisses her very long and deep. She kisses back and they reluctantly pull apart.
"I," Christi said, speechless.
"I love you even more than that," he says and kisses her again.
"I'll go home with you, I'm so sorry." she says when they pull away again.
"No, I'm sorry. When we get back, I'm gonna deal with Izzie since she's so intent on ruining our life together." XXX
The next day the three of them flew back to Seattle. They went home and got settled and all that. Then Christi and Alex went to the hospital. They see groups of doctors gossiping and staring. Then they see Veronica and Mark sitting in the Chief's office being lectured. They came out with sullen faces and walked toward the couple.
"What happened?" Christi asked.
"I yelled at Izzie and then she quit." Veronica sighed.
"What'd you say?"
"I'd rather not repeat it." Veronica muttered, "It was very mean though, and Izzie said stalking Alex was no use anymore since he overheard a conversation between Mark and Alex earlier. Alex said he hated Izzie, and all that." Veronica explains the conversation that Mark and Alex said about Alex going to get Christi from New York. Izzie had overheard it and was sad because she realized Alex didn't like her.
"Then the Chief called me in because I backed Veronica up." Mark said. Veronica chuckled.
"She's gone now," Veronica said, "No more worries. Now you two can be real newlyweds. You can be a real family with Seth and your unborn baby."
"Thank you," Christi smiled, "I love you guys."
"I know." Veronica scoffed, teasingly.
