VIOLETTE AND IZZIE WERE BOTH enjoying themselves while they decorated the Christmas tree in the living room.

"What is that?" Alex grimaced at the sight of the tree in front of him.

"It's a Christmas tree!" Violette squealed and ran up to hug him.

His eyes widened at her joy and a smile found its way onto his mouth.

"What is going on here?" Meredith walked in through the front door, her face just as confused as Alex was not so many seconds ago.

"It's Christmas!" Izzie was on her tip toes putting up the final piece of tinsel when George walked in with a packet of cereal in his hands.

"It looks like Santa threw up in here." He whispered to Meredith in disgust.

"Just go with it, we're being supportive." She gestured to the two overly happy girls in front of her.

"Oh Mer, George!" Violette quickly pulled from Alex's embrace and to the two who were plastering a smile on their face. "So, what do you think?" She motioned her hand to the Christmas tree to where Izzie was standing next to grinning proudly.

"We know it might be a little over board but-" Izzie started knowing how they all feel about this type of stuff.

"No, it's great!" Meredith exclaimed in hope they wouldn't realise how much she hated holidays.

"Nadia Shelton, 41, scheduled for excision of her gastric ulcer." Violette presented to the family who didn't seem impressed.

"Hm, lots of good it's done us. She's been here for three days." The older women next to Nadia groaned.

"Mom, it's not their fault."

"Everyday she gets rescheduled for emergencies." Her dad butted in, equally as disappointed.

"We are very sorry for the inconveniences." The chief who was in the room looked down to Violette and was impressed of the way she was speaking so calmly to them.

"Inconvenience? Watch your child spend 3 days in pain, and then come talk to me about inconvenience."

After back and forth of the family arguing, doctor Webber finalised that she would be having her surgery later that day.

Violette went down to the usual intern spot down in the basement and realised Alex was sitting there rubbing his neck nervously.

"Alex?" He looked up and she saw the stress in his eyes. "What happened?" Violette hopped onto the gurney he was on.

"I- I need to retake the boards."

Her expression turned into a more sympathetic one. "Oh. I can help you?"

Alex turned closer to her face and kissed her lightly on the lips. "You would do that for me?" He asked whilst looking into her big brown eyes which were full of glow.

"Ofcourse I would."

"Any questions about the surgery?" George asked Nadia who was getting prepped.
