Chapter 7

"So?" Izzie asked Meredith as the group sat in the basement on the gurneys and wheelchairs, like when they were interns.

Alex sat on a gurney next to Izzie, his arm wrapped around her. Meredith sat next to them, George sat in a wheelchair in front of the gurneys. Cristina lay in the middle of the floor.

"Evilspawn was correct."

"Ha, told ya." Alex laughed.

"Was that it? He didn't ask you to marry him or anything?"

"Actually, he did. And I said yes."

"Ha, I knew he would." Izzie laughed at Alex who was mocking her.

"Well, we've been together on and off for years now, it just seemed right." Meredith smiled.

"Did you talk about wedding plans?"

"Yep" She smiled.

"And?"

"We want to get married pretty soon."

"When's pretty soon?"

"Within the next two months." Meredith smiled at Izzie, who happened to be getting excited.

"Kill me now." Cristina mumbled.

"What the hell are you doing in the middle of the floor anyway?"

"Hoping someone doesn't see me and runs me over."

"Why?"

"So I don't have to put up with all your crap." She said as she sat up and pointed at Izzie, Meredith, Alex and George.

"She's angry because she hasn't had sex with Hunt yet. They stay over at each other's apartment but no sex."

"Aww, is Cristina jealous of all the hot, hot sex we have?" Alex mocked.

"Shut up Evilspawn."

The rest just laughed.

"We've been on 6 dates. 6 dates! Surely we should have had sex by now. We've been dating for a month now."

"Ooh, a month" Izzie laughed.

"Shut up." Cristina said as she lay back down once more "Kill me now."

"So, where are you going to hold the wedding?"

"Well, we want to get married on Derek's land. The house will be done by then."

"Sounds like a great idea. I'm so happy for you guys." Izzie smiled, then looked at the floor with glimmer of sadness on her face.

"You'll get married soon."

"You think so?"

"He'd be stupid not to marry you."

Izzie heard the door open and then close. She looked towards the door to see her son and boyfriend walk through the door with Chinese food for the group.

"Mama!" Jay shouted as he ran over to Izzie and hugged her leg.

"Hey, Jay. You missed mommy, huh?"

"Yep."

"And Auntie Mer too?"

"Yep, Mer" He smiled as he walked over to Meredith as she lifted him onto the couch between her and his mother.

"Can you squeeze one more on the couch?" Alex asked as he placed the food on the table and flopped down onto the couch next to Izzie.

"Jay can sit on my knee, huh? So daddy can sit near mommy."

"Yeah" The young boy clapped at Mer.

"You love Auntie Mer, huh?" Izzie asked as her Alex kissed Izzie on the cheek. "What was that for?"

"What, I can't kiss my girl now?" he smirked.

"No, you can kiss all you want, just save it for later." She winked as she leaned into him more.

"Oh, okay" He smiled, wrapping her arms around her protectively.

"Mama, Dada huggin'?" Jay asked.

"Yes, they are." Meredith told the young boy.

"Yay!"

"Yay!"

The group ate dinner and talked about wedding arrangements like what roles there were to consider people for.

"Would you like to be the pageboy at my wedding, Jay?" Meredith asked the young boy.

"Yeah?"

"You would?"

"Yeah"

"Oh, thank you Bud!" she hugged her nephew tighter.

"So, have you decided what dress you're getting? The flowers, the food, the invites?"

"Iz, I'm getting married in just under 3 months. It's fine at the moment. We're hiring a gazebo and a band to play. We're going to hire caterers and the flowers will be ordered at last minute. We'll be fine."

"You're stupid. You know that right?"

"How am I stupid?" Meredith stood up in disgust, getting a height advantage over Izzie.

"That you're leaving everything until last minute when I could plan the wedding for you."

"You'd really do that?" She asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I would" She smiled.

"Fine. The job is yours. Get started whenever you want."

"Okay then. That's settled. Now get your ass back down here so we can watch that new film you bought."

"What? Made of Honour?"

"Well is that the one with the guy that looks like Derek?"

"He doesn't look like Derek!"

"He does. And that other guy looks like Owen."

"No they don't! Okay?" Meredith shouted

"Just put the film in and get back here. The popcorn and drinks are ready. Jay's having a nap so we're fine." She said, laughing at Meredith breaking.

"Okay woman! Give me chance!" her face turned bright red.

"Whatever" Iz laughed as Meredith punched her arm playfully before sitting down.
