Please read and review!

Chapter 2

Izzie sat in the dark exam room with her head in her hands. She took a deep breath and went over everything Addison had said. How could this happen? How could she have cancer? She sat up and tilted her head back. She knew she shouldn't be thinking like this. Addison had even said she wasn't sure. She wanted to do a biopsy to be sure. So she may not even have it. Perhaps she was just getting herself all worked up for nothing. Just then the door opened and Addison walked in.

"Hello Izzie. How are you doing?" she asked.

"Great." Izzie said sarcastically.

Addison sighed and looked at Izzie sadly.

"Look, I'm not even 100 percent sure you have Cervical Cancer, I just think there is a possibility."

Izzie nodded.

"I know, but I have to be real. I know that there is a very big chance I may have it." she paused, sighing. "I'm a doctor. I see cases where people are diagnosed with cancer all the time. And I know that you are great at what you do, so if you think I have cancer-" she paused again, looking down at the floor. "Then I probably have cancer." Izzie said, not really believing what she was saying.

Addison sighed and sat there quietly for a moment.

"Well I can do the biopsy today if that's alright with you." She said, looking at Izzie.

"Okay." Izzie said quietly.

"Dr. Grey is suppose to be with me today, but if you don't want her there, I can find someone else for her to work with." Addison said standing up.

Izzie looked up. "No, it's fine. I think it might be better if I have Meredith there anyway." Izzie said.

Addison nodded and headed to the door.

"The biopsy will probably be around 5." She said.

Izzie nodded before Addison walked out the door.

Meredith was standing at the nurses station talking to Cristina.

"So you and Burke, how is that going?" She asked Cristina.

Cristina rolled her eyes and set a chart down.

"You can't be seriously asking me that."

"Yes, I am seriously asking you that. Yesterday you told me that you were having second thoughts about getting married, and then I see you two walk in today looking all happy and coupleish or whatever." Meredith said, leaning against the counter.

Cristina looked at Meredith and sighed.

"We weren't all happy and coupleish okay? And I wasn't having second thoughts." Cristina said, looking away.

Meredith looked at her with a shocked expression.

"Oh my God!"

"What?" Cristina asked.

"You're pretending to be totally happy so he'll let you scrub in on that transfusion free cardiothoracic surgery!" Meredith exclaimed.

Cristina looked around innocently for a moment before leaning in and whispering "And that's how that game is played."

Meredith looked at her and shook her head.

"You know this is really not good. You and Burke need to-" she looked down as her pager went off. "Oh I have to go. Montgomery is paging me. But really Cristina-" she looked up to see that Cristina wasn't standing there anymore. She sighed and turned to go find Addison.

Addison was standing outside of the room waiting for Meredith. When she saw her coming down the hall, she sighed knowing this probably wasn't going to be easy.

"Dr. Grey." Addison said.

"You paged me?" Meredith asked.

"Yes, I need your help with a biopsy." Addison said.

"Okay." Meredith said, moving to open the door.

"Dr. Grey, before we go in there, I need you to swear that you won't tell anyone what you are about to witness."

"Okay…" Meredith said looking at Addison strangely.

Addison sighed and opened the door.

Meredith walked in and saw Izzie sitting there.

"Izz?" Meredith said, not sure what was going on.

"Hey Mer." Izzie said quietly.

Meredith turned around and looked at Addison.

"What's going on here? Why is Izzie here? I thought we were doing a biopsy."

"You are." Izzie said.

Meredith turned back around and looked at Izzie.

"But why are you-" Meredith started, but cut herself off as she put the two together.

"Izzie what's going on?" Meredith asked.

Izzie looked down at the floor, finding this conversation way harder than she had imagined.

"She has been having some pains, and other symptoms-" Addison began.

"What kind of symptoms?" Meredith asked.

"Excessive bleeding and such" Addison answered. "So she came to me so I could have a look, and I think she may have…" Addison trailed off. She couldn't bring herself to say it. Even though she told people bad news all the time, this was different. She knew these people. She worked with these people.

"She may have what?" Meredith asked, getting scared and impatient.

"Cervical Cancer." Izzie answered.

Meredith's eyes widened as she looked down at Izzie.

"Oh Izz…"

"Don't Meredith. Don't tell me how sorry you feel, because we don't know for sure that I have it. That's why you're here, to help Dr. Montgomery with the biopsy. If you don't want to be here that's fine, but don't tell anyone about this."

Meredith put her hand on Izzie shoulder.

"I want to be here Izz. And I won't tell anyone about this."

Izzie nodded, still not looked up.

Addison waited a moment before speaking.

"Well I already paged the anesthesiologist so we should be able to begin any time."

They sat there in silence for about 10 minutes until there was a soft knock on the door. The anesthesiologist walked in and began getting things ready.

Once everything was all set and ready Addison looked down at Izzie and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. You may feel some pain or discomfort after a little while, but the local anesthesia should take care of any pain during the biopsy." Addison said.

"Okay." Izzie said, still looking scared.

After she was given the local anesthesia Addison began the biopsy.

After she removed the tissue from the cervix, she put it in a tube and handed it to Meredith.

"Okay Grey, take this directly to the pathologist's lab. Tell them I said that this test needs to be done right away."

"Alright." She put a hand on Izzie's. "I'll be right back."

"Okay." Izzie said as she watched Meredith walk out.

"Dr. Montgomery!" Meredith yelled, running down the hallway to catch up to her.

Addison turned around and looked at Meredith.

"Did you get the results back?"

"Yes, they're right here." She said, handing them over.

"I didn't look at them" she paused. "I couldn't."

Addison nodded and looked over the results.

"Well?" Meredith asked, not wanting to wait anymore.

Addison set down the paper and sighed, taking off her glasses.

"No." Meredith said.

Addison rubbed her head and looked at Meredith.

"We have to go find Izzie."

"So, I'm guessing you got my results back." Izzie said, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, we did." Addison said looking at Izzie sadly.

Izzie looked up at her for a moment, hoping that Addison was just playing some kind of cruel sick joke.

"I'm so sorry, but the test came back positive." She paused. "You have Cervical Cancer."
