Alex
I walked over to Izzie's table and sat down a crossed from her.

"Okay it is just me and you now. What are you really doing here Iz?"

"I'm here to fix a boys chest why?" She said

"Oh I'm just asking because everywhere I go, your there." I said lowing my voice a little. " you're following me, picking fights with Jo, asking Meredith about my life. Why do you care?"

"I am just curious Alex. And I'm not picking fights with your little friend I was just asking her a question and then she went psycho like I hit a nerve."

"How about you don't talk to her unless it is Medical related and then you won't hit any nerves. Okay?" I said waiting for a nod. When she gave it to me I got up and left the table.

Jo (switching it up a bit)
After coffee with Mer and Christina I decided to crash in the on call room before I started on paperwork. I was at the point where a 15 minute cat nap would do wonders.

Searching for an on call room in this hospital was risky. You think you're going in to sleep and then bam, full frontal nudity. Erasing that from your mind is hard. Thank goodness I have only ran into it once. The first call room was locked but luckily the second one was open. When I walked in I was greeted my Alex who was laying on the bottom bunk with his hands behind his head. He was looking up at the bottom of the top bunk.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked catching his attention but not his gaze.

"Thinking." He answered.

I looked at the clock which only read 10:00 and so I decided to wedge myself in the space between the wall and Alex's body. I rested my arm across his stomach and my head on his chest.

"What about?" I said

I felt one of his arms fall on my waist. "Life. Marriage. Houses. Kids."

I furrowed my brow in confusion "big words."

"Yeah" He said. "You know I want all of that right?"

"Yeah I know you do." I thought for a moment " I do too"

We sat in silence. I listened to his heart beat and his breathing. I never thought I would love someone as much as I loved Alex. Especially after Paul. At the same time I never thought I would be loved by someone this much. I did want to start a life with him. I wanted a big house with 5 bedrooms and a kid to fill each of them. To be honest, I really wanted to adopt. And not a baby, an older child who lost the belief they would ever have a permanent home. I often wonder what I would be like if I was adopted. Or if my mom had kept me. But quite frankly I like how my life turned out. I'm happy.

I was deep in thought when Alex spoke "I want a baby with your eyes. Your eyes and your hair. But I want her to have my features mostly because then I won't have to kill any boyfriends."

I laughed. "I want to adopt."

He went silent and then spoke quietly "Yeah me too. But I still want one that I made."

I smiled "okay deal."

We laid there for a while. I had just started to doze off when the door swung open and a bright light shined in my face. I opened my eyes to see Izzie standing in the door frame looking at Alex.

"We have to go over the procedure again before we start." She said.

I rubbed my eyes and moved to the side so Alex could get up but he didn't. In fact he didn't even open his eyes. I thought he was sleeping so I tapped him.

"I heard her." He said finally moving. When he got up I flopped down on my back. He stretched and then leaned over and kissed me. I saw Izzie shift in the door way and then walk away. Alex followed. I laid there for a while until I drifted off to sleep.
