It had been a week. Alex still hadn't met his interns. Meredith still hasn't told anyone but her friends that she was pregnant. Everything was going pretty damn well. Alex was even being discharged.

"Here," Bailey said as she walked in slapping some papers down.

"Discharge papers?" Alex said. "I'm leaving?"

"No, I'm giving you them for the hell of it." Bailey rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay," Alex said and signed the papers.

"It's good to have you back, Kerev," Bailey said.

"Thanks," Alex said as he sat up and reached for the crutches sitting not far from the bed. He groaned as he stood up stretching his legs that were still sore. "I got it from here." Bailey nodded and walked out. Alex looked over at the bag of clothes. He put it on his back and looked at the room he had spent the last two months in. He sighed as a small smile crossed his face before he started out. His crutches clicked with every assisted step. He waited for the elevator leaning on one side. The elevator doors opened as he got on and looked at the buttons. He hit the fourth floor button and waited for the doors to close. It was only a little after five am and he knew pre-rounds would be starting soon. The doors opened and he got off heading towards the nurses' station. He looked at his watch and knew they would show up soon.

Sure enough, ten minutes later four people slowly left the locker room and headed towards the nurses' station he was sitting at. He looked at them and gave them a little nod. There were two woman and two men. The next thing he knew, Meredith was walking over. She had a smile on her face as she looked at him.

"You were discharged?" Meredith asked raising his eyes brows.

"Yep," Alex nodded leaning with his back on the counter and a crutch under each arm.

"Good," Meredith nodded before turning to the interns. The females looked interested. The males looked annoyed. "Good Morning, interns. Dr. Grey, Dr. Pop, this is Dr. Kerev, your real resident. If all goes well, in a month I will have two interns instead of four."

"Hello," Alex nodded at the male and female interns. They both kind of wave and Lexi blushed. John (Dr. Pop) rolled his eyes when he noticed this. Meredith, unfortunately… I mean fortunately, didn't see this. She smiled at Alex then looked at the interns.

"Okay, Grey you work with me. Pop you work with Dr. Montgomery," He groaned causing Alex to laugh. Meredith rolled her eyes. "Flip go find Dr. Shepherd. Wagner you're in the pit." Meredith looked at the interns who hadn't moved. "Go!" They start to scatter but Lexi stays behind. "Dr. Grey, I need you to monitor my patients in 4563, 4569, 4010, and get the patient in 4038 to CT and MRI." With that she walked off. Alex was about to follow when Lexi stepped in front of him.

"Hi," Lexi said. "What happened to you?"

"I uh was in an accident," Alex said looking at her weird.

"Oh I'm sorry. I'm one of your interns."

"I know." He spoke quick and short.

"We got stuck with the Nazi 2. She's really my half sister, but she says that she like disowned the family or something. She and I got in a big fight in front of the whole hospital a few weeks ago. It wasn't pretty. She can be a bitch." She rambled on.

"Whatever. But, seriously, you shouldn't be talking about her like that to me," Alex said before walking (or hopping) away from her in the direction Meredith went.

"There are A LOT of hot doctors here," Lexi said as she walked off to tend to those patients.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey," Alex said as he finally caught up with her.

"Hey," She smiled at him and adjusted herself in the rolling chair to look at him. She was sitting in the CT room by herself.

"So, do people know about… everything?" Alex said.

"Well, the others, Izzie, Christina, and George, all know about everything. As far as everyone else, no they don't. I don't know if I want to tell them." Meredith said.

"Why?"

"They're going to find out about the baby soon enough. With all the history with Derek and everything… I don't know. Plus, there are the interns and that. What do you think?" Meredith said.

"It's up to you. We can keep quiet for awhile."

"I just don't want to be mommy-tracked."

"I understand."

"If the Chief knew that I was pregnant, I wouldn't be able to have all four interns and like Christina would end up with them. Then she'd be all bitter towards me."

"I got it, Mere," Alex laughed. He hopped over to her.

"Are you planning on going home now?"

"Yeah, I guess," Alex said.

"Let me finish up this CT then I'll drive you," She said.

"I can take a taxi," Alex said.

"It's fine"

"Dr. Grey?"

"What?" Meredith looked to see Lexi standing there.

"Your patient in 4010, lost consciousness."

"Okay get him to MRI and CT." Meredith ordered.

"Yes ma'am," Lexi walked off. Meredith looked defeated up at him.

"It's fine," Alex smiled and leaned down. "I'll see you later." He kissed her.

"Alright," Meredith said. He smiled at her and walked out.
