Chapter 10: The Seattle Tornado
Today is my first day back to work since I gave birth to Lexie and Ellis, and I'm looking forward to working on a case with Derek as I did when I was an intern. This morning it's gloomy out, but name a day that Washington isn't gloomy. When I dropped the 4 kids off at Day-care I heard the news report saying that Seattle Washington was under a Tornado warning. It is rare to actually be in a Tornado warning. The last time there was a tornado warning in the state of Washington we actually had one touch down near the border of Oregon. When I was a child growing up in Boston I only knew of places like Kansas getting tornados as it is in the center of dead nothing.
It was about 12:30 when Derek, Callie, Amelia got the children for lunch. During our lunch there was an alarm in the hospital that I have never heard before it was scary and I wasn't sure what it was about until I heard Jackson to get under the table with the children. Going under the table made the situation even scarier because I didn't know what was going on. The last time I was under a table was when Gary Clark came in with the gun and shot Derek. Memories like this I try to block out by looking at my amazing children, and think of all the struggles both Derek and I had to face. Before long the alarm stopped everyone began to get up to see that the alarm was a Tornado alarm. As we had a tornado and it was the scariest things that has ever happened to me next to drowning, the plane crash, and giving birth to Bailey.
The next thing I remember is Derek taking the children back up to the day-care, and I getting paged to the ER. The hospital was getting multiple calls for help with a lot of injured people. Owen sprang into action as he was in the military. Overseas they have emergencies like this but never a tornado. I began to think that my life is just full of mysteries as I never know what I going to happen to me. When the first ambulance showed up it was a young child about Zola's age on the gurney and need a head CT scan as the rescue workers found a lot of debris of the child. Both Derek, and I went to work on the child as Amelia went home with Olivia. The end of the day was going to be a long time away because of all the multiple patients, injuries.
It was about 12:30 pm by the time the day ended. Both Derek and I were exhausted, and were heading home when the rescue workers found 2 more patients. One was a little girl that looked like Alex, and the women looked like Izzy my former co-worker. "Meredith save Emily let her father care for her" asked Jane Doe who was in fact Izzy." "Izzy we will save you and Emily don't worry about a thing" said Derek. Derek had already operated on Izzy more than once so he knows what her medical history was. I asked Izzy who Emily's father was. She explained that Alex is her father. Nobody not even Alex knew she was pregnant when she left. Alex was shocked to find out he was a father to a 6 year old little girl.
After we operated on Izzy and Emily, Derek and I decided to stay in the on call room as it was now 3:00 am and by the time we get home it will be time to come back to work and do it all over the next day. After Izzy woke up from surgery I went to check on her and she had just moved back to Seattle 2 days ago transferring from Dartmouth medical center in New Hampshire. I was shocked that she came back here, and had a daughter that Alex didn't know about. Alex saw Izzy and started to talk to her like she never left in the first place. Jo got pissed off at Alex because he decided to stay with his ex-wife and his daughter , than go home to the Pratt house that Alex, Izzy, Christiana, George, Meredith, Callie and a few others once stayed.
A/N: I know that there is a story of Izzy coming back, I actually didn't have an intention of bringing her back, until I watched the last scene of season 5 and how much Alex really loved Izzy I'm hoping to have them together again. Also I'm kind of making Izzy's storyline similar to Ellis Grey but they will have different storylines. Stay tune for Chapter 11 its going to be great.
