LizzieLovesLife: I'm really really happy that you're reading my story and that you like it. And it makes me happy that you like it even though Addison isnt the main character. I wont have her (or Addex parts) in every single chapter since its mainly an Izzie story, but I will try to have them in as much as possible. And again thank you, I'm glad you like it. :-)

mistysparks: lol. I'm glad you liked the Addex part. Theres no Addex in this chapter, but I hope you read and like this one anyway. :)

Well I think thats it. And as I said theres no Addex in this chapter, but for you MerDer fans, there is a small part with them in this one. And of course theres Gizzie :-) So I hope everyone likes it and please read and review!

Chapter 11

Izzie woke up to the feel of warm arms that were snuggly wrapped around her. She smiled, remembering what had happened the previous night. Yes, it had been emotionally and physically exhausting to finally tell George the truth, but it was a big weight that had been lifted. And on top of that, George could be there now. Even though she tried so hard to avoid this, it did give her comfort that the man she loved was by her side, and not going anywhere. She sighed and lowered her head to his arm and placed a soft kiss on it. She felt him stir slightly behind her and turned her head to look at him. She saw his eyes flutter open slowly. She smiled at him and they just stared at one another. Nothing really needed to be said. She turned her body towards him and kissed him softly on the lips. That was her silent way of saying 'hello.'

He smiled at her and pulled her closer to him so that her head rested on his chest. He rested his chin on her head and briefly closed his eyes, sighing. He wished that they could stay like this forever. Forever. He wished he had forever. Well he would, but she wouldn't. It all seemed surreal to him. Like it was a horrible, twisted, sick dream that he could soon wake up from. But he wouldn't, he knew that, and it scared him. He wanted to just lie in bed with her all day. And just talk. They use to do that, but lately they hadn't. So when she broke up with him, he wasn't as shocked as he knew he should have been. Yes, he was shocked, but not completely. They use to be so passionate, but then they started to act like an old married couple. They argue, and there just wasn't as much spark in their relationship. And now would they ever have it. Could they ever have that fire back? He suppressed the urge to cry. He was being so selfish. Here he was, wondering about fire while she was dying. She was dying. His Izzie was dying. And once she was gone, she would never come back.

"What are you thinking about?" Izzie asked, bringing him out of his reverie.

He looked down at her and smiled slightly. "Nothing." He lied.

She smiled and tilted her head up towards him and kissed him. "We should probably get up." she said, sitting up slowly. "I have to be there at 9."

George sighed and watched her begin to get dressed. "Do we really have to go?" he asked, knowing the answer.

Izzie sighed. "Yes. Well I do. You can stay and sleep, I'll drive myself."

George's eyes widened as he sat up. "No way."

Izzie looked at him strangely. "Okay fine."

George sighed and looked at her. "I'm sorry, it's just…you know you can't drive yourself. You told me so yourself." He said, standing up to face her.

Izzie sighed deeply as she buttoned her pants. "I know, but I just feel so helpless."

He stepped towards her and pulled her into his arms. "I know." He whispered, kissing her head.

She sighed into his chest before stepping back and looking at him. "Alright lets get this thing over with."

He nodded and then began to get dressed.

Bailey saw Meredith talking with Derek and immediately approached her.

"Dr Grey can I speak to you?" she asked, with an angry tone.

Meredith looked at her questioningly for a moment for nodding her head. "Yeah." She said before looking back at Derek. "I'll be right back." She said before walking away with Bailey.

Derek watched her leave and wondered why Bailey looked so mad.

"What are you doing here?" Bailey asked, looking at Meredith.

She looked back at her feeling confused. "I sort of work here Dr. Bailey." She replied.

"No, I mean why are you here so early? Isn't today your say day to bring Stevens?" she asked.

"Oh" Meredith said, as if she had just remembered. "Well it was, but George is bringing her today." She said.

Bailey looked surprised. "O'Malley knows?" she asked.

Meredith nodded.

"Oh, well in that case" she paused "You better get to work Grey." She said, as if she had no idea why Meredith was standing there.

Meredith suppressed a laugh. "Yes Dr. Bailey." She said, before walking back over to Derek.

"What was that about?" he asked, looking over at Bailey.

"Oh nothing." Meredith lied.

He watched Meredith for a moment and inwardly sighed. He knew something was up, but he couldn't get her to open up about it. He wanted to be there for her, but if she was unwilling to share things with him, then that couldn't happen. She hadn't let him come to her house all week. And that was surprising to him because they usually spent most of their time out of work at her house. And not only was he not going over to her house, but she turned down all of his offers to spend time with her lately. She always said she had other plans, or she was tired, or something like that.

"Well I'm with Sloan today so I better get going." She said.

Derek nodded and leaned down to kiss her.

She kissed him briefly on the side of the mouth, then walked away.

He sadly watched her walk away, and made up his mind that he would find out what was going on with her one way or another.

George and Izzie walked into the hospital hand in hand. He walked her to where she had her chemo treatments done and turned towards her.

"Do you want me to stay with you, because I can." He said, not really wanting to leave her.

She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "No, I'll be fine. Just go work for a little while, and I'll meet you back her at 12 ish." She said.

He smiled slightly and hugged her. "You're sure you'll be okay?" he asked, for the thousandth time.

"Yes." She said laughing and pulling away. "I've been doing this all week, I'll be okay."

George sighed and nodded. "Okay. I'll see you at 12."

"Okay." Izzie said smiling.

He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you."

"Love you too." She said before George turned and walked in the other direction.

She smiled to herself and sighed. She was glad she told him, but hopefully he would soon learn to not be so worried. And with those thoughts going through her mind, she went to prepare for the treatment.
