Thank you for all of the reviews guys, you make my day! Here's chapter four! Enjoy! (:


"Isobel Stevens. Thirty year-old female. Fainted at Emerald City Bar. BP 115 over 75." The paramedic gave Izzie's vitals to the ER resident and attending on call which happened to be Owen Hunt and Alex Karev.

Alex's eyes widened when he heard her name being said from the paramedic. He froze for a moment, looking frantically at Hunt, and then at Shepherd and Sloan who arrived with her in the ambulance. "What the hell?" Alex said to the two men who looked just as freaked as he did.

"Dammit, I'm fine. Will you just let me go. I'm fine." Izzie repeated, which calmed Alex down a little bit. At least she was concious and talking.

"Karev, get her to a bay, run a blood test, and get her admitted." Hunt ordered. Alex nodded and did as he was told, not saying a word to Izzie as he did so.

After dropping off the blood sample he took, he decided to go find Meredith and Cristina and tell them what was going on. That way Meredith could ask Derek what exactly happened. Alex wasn't ready to show that he actually cared. Obviously he did deep down inside, but he wasn't going to let anyone know that.

Once finding Meredith and Cristina at a nurse's station, he stood next to them and groaned, leaning his head on the counter.

Cristina looked at Meredith, then gave Alex a strange look. "Um, are you okay?" She asked him, confused as to why he was groaning next to her and Meredith.

"Izzie's admitted." He said, his voice muffled by the countertop where his head was laying, though Meredith and Cristina could hear him clearly.

"Wait, what?" Meredith asked him, suddenly concerned for her old friend. Right now at this moment, it didn't matter how she left or why she was back, she just cared about her health, and she hoped Izzie was okay.

"She fainted at Joe's apparently." He said, finally showing his face. He rubbed his eyes from the stress that he has experienced today so far. "She was with your husband and Mark if you want to ask what happened. I don't know shit, and I'd rather keep it that way." He said bitterly towards his friend.

"Okay..." Meredith said, furrowing her eyebrows and walking away to find Derek. She was going to see what was up with Izzie and why Alex was so intensely angry with her.


Meredith spotted Derek at the ER nurse's station and jogged over to him. "Hey, I heard about Izzie. What happened?" She asked him with concern lacing through her features. She really hoped that everything was okay.

"Well I offered her a permanent job here, and she... fainted." Derek shrugged. "I think it was a panic attack, she'll be fine." Derek said. "She looked as though a lot happened to her today. Do you know anything?"

"All I know is that Alex was being an ass to her all day, and still is today." Meredith sighed, "He's on her case, right?" Derek nodded at her question and Meredith shrugged. "Hopefully this means they'll have a coherent conversation with each other." She mused towards her husband.

"I love you." Derek said to her and kissed her lips softly and soundly causing Meredith to giggle softly.

"I love you, too." She said, smiling and walking back to her patient in cardio.


"Blood test for Isobel Stevens." Alex Karev said to the person running the lab station today. He waited impatiently as they went to go get what he requested. As he waited, his thoughts began to wander. Maybe something was seriously wrong with her. Maybe the cancer is back. He didn't think about that before and he suddenly became a nervous wreck. "What the hell is taking so long?" He asked impaciently to no one in particular. Suddenly the test was handed to him and he looked it over quickly. He froze when he read what was in front of him. Was he reading right? Was this what was really happening? Why didn't she tell him? Why didn't he know about this? What the hell was going on right now?

He rushed to where Izzie was laying, reading a magazine in the ER. She had been patiently awaiting the results, just as nervous as he was before he found out what was really going on. He forcefully closed the curtain, so it was just the two of them.

Izzie looked up from her magazine, and saw that her ex-husband was in front of her, holding the lab results in his hand. "Oh, are those the results?" She asked him.

"No. Don't do that. Don't play dumb." He said to her with anger and frustration laced through his words. "Don't act like you have no idea what the hell is going on!" He yelled, his voice raising with every word.

"Alex?" She asked, her voice was full of fear mixed with confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"You're pregnant?" He yelled, his voice loud enough for the hospital to hear.

Izzie just looked at him with a shocked look on her face, her eyes wide, and her throat suddenly dry.

Shit.
