" Alex! How many times do I have to tell you?! Don't leave your dirty dishes in the sink. It's freakin' disgusting"!
I look away from the TV, seeing Jo standing on the right side of the bed with her hands on her hips..
Dammit!
," Sorry... It's just things at the hospital have been so busy", I cock my head to the side with a closed mouth smile.
My attempt at charming her didn't work one bit, She just shook her head, " We work at the same hospital Alex, Stop making excuses".
Suddenly my pager went off.
Yes!
Alex:1 Jo:0
My eyes shifted down, Seeing the big red numbers.
911
," Crap", I say, Before looking up at jo.
," Go"!
___
The doors to Grey- Sloan memorial open, With me rushing inside
," Bailey paged me 911", I say out of breath
," In there", The woman at the desk pointed to the room behind me.
The blinds were open, But all I can see was the back of Bailey's head.
I rushed in there, " What do we got"?
Bailey immediately rushed towards me pushing my chest back," Alex, Wait-"
,"why-" My eyes landed on a blonde. With a cloth wrapped around her head.
There's no way...
I gently push bailey out of the way.
,"Iz, What the hell"?
," My kids..." Her familiar voice fills my ears, sounding desperate.
Kids?
," I'll find em"
....
I slowly back out of the trauma room and allow the automatic doors to close. I'm a little shaken up right now and bump into someone.
I turn around and I can barely see who it is through my blurry eyes.
"Alex?" I can hear them faintly say.
"Alex, are you okay?" They ask once again but I just nod my head unable to speak. They grab my elbow and drag me into one of the open trauma rooms.
"Alex." I make eye contact with who is speaking and can now focus on their face. It's Amelia.
"What happened?" She asked and I can hear as if I'm coming out of a pool of water and it's leaving my ears.
"Izzie...she's back...her kids." I say in broken words.
"Alright, alex. Look at me? It's okay. Let's just breathe. Now explain to me what is going on." She says and I take a few seconds to calm down.
"My ex wife, Izzie, is here with what looks like a head laceration and is asking about her kids...who I said I'd find." I replied and Amelia nodded her head.
"Okay. I'll help you look for her kids, and then we'll figure out how to handle her being back." Amelia said and I nodded my head.
I then walked out of the trauma room with Amelia following and towards the trauma bay. I passed by the little supply station we have and grabbed a trauma gown and gloves.
"Ben!" I screamed as I saw him going towards an ambulance. "Were there any kids with you?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm about to get them out now." He said opening the doors and taking the gurney down.
"Patient both 8 years old, one with a small cut along its eyebrow and the other a small cut around its kneecap. Blood pressure slightly elevated but nothing major or unusual in situations like this." Ben said and I waved for Amelia to come by.
She gave them a quick Nero check. "They seem fine, at most a slight concussion but I'd like to have a head ct and keep them for observation." She replied.
"Alright. Let's get them into trauma room 2 next to their mother." I replied as they took the locks off the gurney and wheeled them into the room.
An hour and a half after everyone was checked and bandaged up. They were now all situated in a room as we kept her two kids for observation. Everything seemed to be okay but we wanted to make sure. Their blood pressure went back to normal limits. We haven't talked much besides the brief interaction about any medical history with her kids.
I feel a slight buzz in my pocket.
Jo: I miss you
Jo: how bad was the trauma?
Alex: it was manageable, but I'll probably be staying overnight.
Jo: okay. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you
Alex: I love you too.
I wasn't trying to keep Jo in the dark. I wanted to tell her but I didn't exactly know how to bring it up. She knew I was previously married but I never expected to see Izzie again. There was also something slightly off putting about her kids. It wasn't the kids themselves but there was some weird familiarity to them.
"You paged for me?" I asked as I walked into Lizzie's room.
"Yeah...there's something I have to tell you." She replied.
"If it's about you leaving it's fine, I mean it's not fine, I wish you would have talked to me, but my point is that it worked out. I'm married now, to a great woman actually- not that you weren't and you have your kids-" I rambled and she cut me off.
"Alex- it's not that. While I regret a lot. I wanted to talk about the kids. Their yours-" Her words were quickly cut off due to her body starting to convulse. In an instant I was brought back to when she was dying in my arms.
I lowered her bed and pressed the code blue button.
"She's seizing get a crash cart! Now! Get her kids out of here!" I yelled.
"We got it from here , Alex." I heard Bailey say but I couldn't stop cpr. It was engraved into my head the night she died and I went against her wishes.
"Hunt." I heard her says again and that's when I felt someone grab me by my shoulder and drag me out of the room.
I slide down the wall and pull out my phone and dial the all to familiar number.
"Mer, she's back...and with my kids..." I said.
