[voiceover] When something begins, you generally have no idea how it's going to end. The house you're going to sell becomes your home, the roommates you were forced to take in become your family and the one night stand you were determined to forget becomes the love of your life.

Nice ring. Alex outdid himself.
We're gonna have beautiful kids, don't you think? Is four too many?
Four is perfect.
Ideally it would be two boys, and two girls. One of which would definitely be a tom boy. And I was thinking I should have them pretty close together, though that might be stupid.
Why wait?
Exactly. That way if I'm not able to practice medicine anymore...
You won't want to.
You don't think?
Do you?
I'm asking you. Why do you keep agreeing with everything I say?
Because I am you. I'm your tumor. You're talking to yourself.
Right.
At least until you have surgery. If you have surgery. Are you gonna have surgery?
If Derek cuts the tumor out I could lose my memory, and if he doesn't I can die. I don't know what to do. Alex, tell me what to do.
Iz, I can't tell you what to do.
Of course you can, you're my husband. That's what husbands do, they stomp around telling their wives what to do. It's your job.
My job is to support whatever you wanna do.
I don't know what I wanna do. That's why I'm asking you. OK, I have an idea. Let's put it to a vote. All in favor of the surgery.
No. We're not voting. No ones... no ones voting.
Opposed?
I'm opposed... to voting.
Just decide for me. Please?
You don't have to know right now. Think about it.
I don't have time.
SSwinder
The test impaired your memory to such a degree that I have to strongly recommend you don't have the surgery.
Izzie, the test was the worst case scenario. The result has nothing to do with the surgery.
SSwinder
We don't know that.
But what I do know is that not operating is every bit as risky as the surgery itself. If not more. But, it's up to you.
What do you think?
I think he's talking to you, not me.
I'll leave you two alone to discuss this.
Ah, I'll come with you. I have a couple of questions.
Wait, Alex.
Think about what you want to do for a second, OK? I'll be right back. [everyone but Meredith leaves the room. Meredith closes the door]
You are not having the surgery!
[voiceover] We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself, the future is never the way we imagined it.
