"Chapter 26- Good news ?"

Callie!"

George caught up with Calli right when she stepped into the elevator

"Oh, hello Dr. O'Malley,"

Calli smiled at George as the door closed,

"So Call, what time do you get off?" asked George casually as he leaned up against the elevator door wall

"Why?" asked Callie with a sly look

"Well I was thinking," said George as he crept up on Calli "We could go get some alcohol, then go out for dinner,"

"Well, Dr. O'Malley," said Calli getting closer to George, "My shift ends at 7, but you know how that goes, so I say...I'll meet you at Joe's at 8?"

"Perfect,"

The elevator doors chimed open, right when George was about to kiss her.

"Damn it," cursed George as Callie walked out of the elevator, smiling like nothing had happened.

Izzy was pacing the on-call room, waiting for Meredith. She had paged her 50 billion times, to meet her there, but she hadn't shone up yet. I swear, she better be in surgery or something.

Izzy sat down on the bed and tried to relax. She was scared for her friend, but she didn't want to show it. There was a knock at the door, then it opened

"Meredith?" asked Izzy, slowly

"Wrong," answered Alex with a smile

"Alex? What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't find you, so I though you would be in here," Alex started to walk towards Izzy

"Alex, I don't have time for this," said Izzy, trying to pull away from Alex

"Awww, c'mon Izz. I can't wait for tonight," Alex tried to kiss Izzy, but she wouldn't let him

"Alex seriously, I'm waiting for Meredith,"

Alex pulled away from Izzy and looked at her like she was crazy

"Why?"

"Addison wants to see her. Something about her pregnancy. I don't know...all I know is that she asked me to tell her that she needs her,"

"So you're saying that Grey might walk in here at any moment?"

"Wow Alex, you are good,"

Alex and Izzy spun their heads around to see Meredith leaning up against the door, arms crossed, with a smile on her face

"So Izzy, this is why you paged me 50 billion times?" asked Meredith with a chuckle

"No. This evil spawn here came in when I was waiting for me," Izzy shot Alex a look

"What?...Fine I'll leave," Alex reluctantly got up and went for the door "Tonight babe?"

Izzy rolled her eyes and nodded in acknowledgement. The door shut and Izzy turned towards Meredith, who was still standing by the door.

"You know, he really is sweet once you get to know him," said Izzy

"Sure he is Izz. So why did you page me? I was in freakin surgery with Derek. He finally got annoyed and was like 'You want to take that Dr. Grey?' I could tell he was smiling under his mask but still... you know how embarrassing that it? For your husband, the attending to tell his wife, the resident to leave the OR on her patient?"

"Sorry Mer...I really am... but this is important," Meredith could see Izzy was scared

"What is it Izz? You can tell me anything you know that,"
