Enjoy this chapter and have a happy and safe holidays.

Alex was rushed into surgery to fix his broken leg and remove the glass from his abdomen. Despite his injuries being less severe than first thought, in Alex's operating room there were still Doctors Hunt, Bailey, Torres, Webber, Robbins and an intern updating Dr Shepard because he was in a surgery and he couldn't get out of it. It was primarily Doctors Bailey, Webber and Torres that were working on Alex, Dr Hunt was there because he was the chief and this was one of his staff members on the operating table (again) Dr Robbins was there because Alex was her prodigy, and she wanted to be there for him like he was there for her when she was in her accident.

In the waiting room April and Jackson had joined Meredith, Christina and Jo in waiting for news on Alex other people came and sat with them to but the group barely noticed and they were never there for long. No one could sit still though, the group was like clockwork sitting, stand, pacing and fidgeting in sync. Finally after what felt like forever the silence was broken by Christina and no one was surprised everyone knew that unless she was in surgery Christina was the least patient of them all apart from Alex.

"What is taking them so long for and update!?" Christina almost yelled snapping everyone back to reality.

Everyone looked at Meredith to help try and calm Christina down, after all she was the other 'twisted sister' as Derek and Owen called them.

"You're a doctor Christina you know how long these things take, instead of yelling at everyone and getting yourself worked up why don't you tell us what happened? How did Alex end up here?"

So Cristina told the story including how she found Alex at the bottom of the stairs, how she didn't think he was home because his car wasn't in the drive way and the furniture she saw. After she finished her story everyone sat in silence processing what had happened to their friend.

Finally Meredith says "He fell down the stairs?" the others seemed confused by her question, it seemed reasonably clear what had happened they just weren't sure how it happened.

Letting out a slightly hysterical laugh Meredith asks "why are the odds never in our favour?" No one replies as its clear Meredith has more to say.

"What are the odds of everything that has happened to us in the past six years huh? The odds that we drown, put our hand on a bomb, get hit by a bus, get cancer, get shot, get impaled by an icicle, be in a fricking plane crash for god's sake." Meredith's voice had speed up as she listed out just some of the events that the group had experienced in the last six years.

"And now Alex is fighting for his life because he fell down the stairs? It's just not fair."

Everyone was silent for a while after Meredith's rant that is until Jackson mentioned Alex's car. "Where was Alex's car?"

"His car broke down, he walked home and left me a message on my cell, we were going to get it tomorrow." This is the first time that Jo had said anything since someone came out to give an update as they were taking him in for surgery, if you had of asked anyone they probably would have said they had forgotten about Jo.

"So Alex's car broke down, he ran home and then made furniture?" Aprils voice was laced with confusion and most of the group had their thinking faces on trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for Alex's behaviour. "Yeah I don't know what's up with that either" Christina said as everyone shrugged. "I guess we will just have to wait for Alex to wake up and ask him then wont we?" Meredith replied diplomatically. No one talked after that they were all thinking too much about Alex and what Meredith had said.

After being in surgery for four hours Dr Miranda Bailey took a well-earned minute to compose herself after operating on another one of her interns. She had paused just outside the doors to the waiting room where she could the rest of her interns, because that's who all of them except Jo were they were her interns. She had four to begin with Meredith, Christina, Izzie and George. Alex had come soon after with an attitude problem but also he had come alone no friends or family. It had taken Alex a while to find himself but from what Miranda Bailey had heard and seen, Alex Karev deserved a little time to find himself and the person that he had become had succeeded her wildest imaginations.

Doctor Miranda Bailey would never forgot the time when April and Jackson became hers too. She is glad that they came through the other side just like all her other interns.

Miranda Bailey formally known as the Nazi couldn't help but smile looking at her interns despite the situation her babies had grown up and become wonderful doctors and people but most of all they had become a family.

Shaking herself out of her thoughts she took a deep breath and walked through the doors and into the waiting room, immediately the group was focussed on her and she could see the desperation for good news in their eyes which all looked haunted.

Taking another breath she announced "He's going to make it, with a full recovery."
