Chapter 6
"The house will be done in 2 months."
"Why are you telling us this?" Alex asked Meredith.
"Well, when I move in with Derek I won't need my house anymore. You're renting a place down the street and I thought you'd like to have a house of your own. When I move in with Derek, I'm going to sell my house at a cheap rate to you guys. That's if you want it..."
"Thank you so much Mer" Izzie screamed as she flung her arms around her friend and hugged her tightly.
"I thought you'd say yes. We're moving in a month before the wedding."
"Thanks Mer" Alex said, giving Mer a wink.
"Well, least I know that it's going to a good family." Meredith laughed, the others joining in.
"You won't regret it, Mer"
"I know I won't. Anyway, I have to go get ready. Derek is taking me out for dinner."
"He wants you." Alex smirked.
"What?" Meredith asked, confused.
"Alex, like all men, thinks that when a guy takes a girl out for dinner it's going to end in sex." Izzie told Meredith, knowing that's what Alex was getting at.
"Nothing wrong with that." Meredith laughed
"Go get yours" Alex laughed.
"Just shut up" Meredith said to Alex as she left the room to go get ready.
"Have a great time, Mer" Izzie laughed as Meredith swore at her and Alex. She then realised that Alex and Izzie were at her house and not at theirs. They had lived at Mer's house for so long that it took a while to register they didn't live here anymore.
"What are you guys doing at mine anyway? You have your own house now."
"Came to pick up the last box. Shame we didn't get everything in the house before I became ill."
"Whatever, you just can't get away." Meredith smirked then began to giggle.
"Just go and enjoy yourself. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Izzie told her.
"I won't." She said as Derek dragged Meredith out of the front door.
"Well, we better go pick up Jay from day-care." Izzie told her boyfriend.
"Yeah. You lock up the house, I'll put the last box in the trunk." Alex instructed.
"Okay babe." Izzie said as Alex walked out the house, letting Izzie check that everything was locked up before heading to the car.
Alex kneeled down on the floor next to his 21 month old son.
"Hey, bud. Did you miss us?" Alex asked.
"Yep."
"You did?" Izzie said, with a fake shocked look on her face.
"Yep."
"You're so cute you know. You must get that from me." Izzie giggled as Alex put on a fake pout.
"Dada sad?"
"No, I'm just playing, bud." Alex told the child.
"Oh." He said, smiling.
"Come on, let's get my boys home" Izzie said as she picked up Jay in one arm as Alex got up off the floor and wrapped his arm protectively around Izzie's waist.
Izzie told the day-care she was taking Jay home and the small family walked out to the car and drove home.
