Wow. You guys really dont' know how much the comments and reviews mean to me. You guys certainly had a lot to say, haha! But you guys are great! Keep 'em comin'!
Izzie closed her eyes. She squeezed them tight in hope that if they were closed tightly enough, that everything would disappear and they could start over, back to the beginning. As soon as her eyes opened, though, her dreams faded and she was met with reality once again. Damn reality.
"Izzie. Answer me. Are you pregnant?" Alex asked her, annoyed with her not answering him for the last five minutes. She didn't speak a word, she was in complete silence, and he was past getting annoyed. Now he was just angry.
"What does the blood test say?" She asked, playing dumb. Of course she was pregnant. He was a doctor, he knew that blood tests never lied.
"Well this blood test says that you are. Which doesn't make much sense, considering we harvested your eggs when you were sick, and you can't have a baby unless I..." He trailed off, and his face hardened. He had figured it out, and Izzie was prepared for the worst. She braced herself for what she was about to hear. The yelling, the bashing. "You forged my signature?"
There it was.
Meredith and Cristina cringed as they heard Alex yelling at Izzie. They were currently at the ER nurse's station, but it didn't matter where you were in the hospital, you could probably here the anger on the fifth floor. They cringed once again as a louder yell came from Alex. It was going to be a long day.
"So Barbie's pregnant." Cristina said with no emotion whatsoever.
Meredith nodded. "Apparently she is." She said, sighing. "It's kind of hard to believe, isn't it?" She said, looking at her person.
"Not really." Cristina said with an honest, yet bitter tone.
"Cristina." Meredith scolded, saddened with Cristina's anger towards the blonde.
"Well just think about it, Mer. She leaves us by giving a letter to Alex. Then comes back and doesn't even speak to him, leaves again, then comes back expecting him to take her back, and when he doesn't... She leaves again. Now she's back pregnant. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't surprise me." Cristina said, turning back to her chart.
Meredith just sighed and was left to ponder what Cristina had said.
"I'm sorry." Izzie said, tears threatening to spill from her big brown eyes. "I can't tell you how sorry I am." She apologized once again. They had moved to an empty on-call room for them to discuss why Izzie had done what she had, and Alex was just sitting there expressionless and wordless.
"Okay." Alex said. The first word he said since they had been in the room. He must've gotten all his anger out in the ER, because he was nothing but a man sitting on a bed. He wasn't even Alex anymore.
"I... Wanted a baby. I wanted one badly. I didn't want to take time to call you and ask you if you could sign a stupid paper, because we know how long that wou've taken." She said, tears now cascading down her cheeks. "We both know that you probably wouldn't do it anyway, because that would mean having to see me. Having to deal with me being around. So no, I didn't ask for your permission, and yes, I did forge your signature, but Alex you have to see where I'm coming from."
"I can't." He said, finally looking up at her. "I can't see where you're coming from. I would've said yes if you just asked me. I wouldn't have declined your wish to have a child Izzie, because I know that's what you want. I'm not that heartless. I'm not going to not allow you to have what you want. Of course I would want to be a part of the baby's life, but Iz..." He ran his fingers through his hair. "God, I can't believe you just did this."
Izzie nodded. She didn't want to say anymore, so she just sat next to him on the bed, a few feet away from him and put her head in her hands and began to cry. And to her surprise, Alex put an arm around her to comfort her.
Lexie was walking through the halls of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital to find an on-call room, so that she could finally get a little bit of sleep. She found one that was partly open, and she didn't hear anyone snoring or talking, or making any other sounds, so she opened the door. When she saw Izzie and Alex sitting there with Alex's arm around her, she felt achieved. Izzie probably told Alex what she heard and he told her the truth. He still loved her and they were going to live happily ever after. Lexie smiled, but frowned once Alex and Izzie both looked up at her.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to find another on-call room." She said with a smile. "Carry on. I'm glad you two made up, though really. I mean I knew that Alex didn't really love me, and we were only together for the sex, but..." She sighed contentedly. "And I mean, I guess it was just clearer when he said your name, and you told him, and... Gosh, I'm just so happy you two are back together." She smiled and left the room with two very confused people.
"She told you I said your name when I was shot?" Alex asked Izzie, confused as to why she hadn't said anything earlier.
"You slept with her?" Izzie asked, her tears becoming fresh again.
This one was a little longer, but not by much. I hope you guys review. I was really in the writing mood once I saw what you guys wrote. Thank you again for reading and reviewing, it means a lot! (:
