Meredith was tired, as she laid her head down on her kitchen table. Exhausted from even mentioning to her best friend what had happened the night before.
"You had sex with Derek in an exam room at the prom?"
"Yes."
"Last night, you and Sheppard did it?"
"Yes," Meredith replied, this time a little quieter.
"You and McDreamy did the 'nasty-nasty'?" Meredith's head shot up, starting to be come annoyed by the repeated facts.
"Cristina!"
"I'm not judging!" Her friend defended herself, "I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it! I mean, you're with Finn, he's with Addison-"
"-He's married to Addison," she cut her off. Throwing in necessary details, while looking down at the table.
"Yeah," Cristina muttered bluntly. She rolled her eyes, realizing she needed to be a little more sympathetic, "Well, what did Derek say?"
"He said 'Meredith what does this mean?'," she said, still looking down.
Cristina let out an annoyed breath, "Ok. He has sex with you and he's standing there all McGuilty and all he has to say for himself is 'oh, what does this mean?'" she said, aggravated. Then suddenly she wanted to know just that. "What does this mean?"
Cristina looked at her best friend for some kind of answer, but all she got was, "I don't know."
"Well are you going to go back to Finn? Is Sheppard leaving his wife?"
Meredith took a second to think about it. "I just-," she laid her head back down, "I don't know."
"Well do you plan on talking to him about this?"
"Eventually," she finally sat up, "but today is about Izzy. We need to get her off the bathroom floor."
"You need to talk to him," Cristina interjected.
Meredith looked at her friend, with an all too knowing look on her face, "You think so?"
Cristina nodded, "If you don't talk to McDreamy about the guilty exam room sex, then you won't know where you stand."
"You're right," Meredith admitted. "I'll call him."
Cristina watched her get up from the table and walk over to the counter where her phone was left. She let her phone speed dial his number, even though she had it memorized. It went straight to voice mail. "No answer."
"Maybe he's in surgery," Cristina offered. Just then Callie walked into the kitchen carrying two large brown paper bags over-flowing with groceries.
"I brought food," she stated the obvious.
"For Izzy?" Meredith asked.
"For Izzy," Callie confirmed. "George is on lock down at the hospital and I was going crazy, so I got food for Izzy."
"Lock down?" Cristina asked.
"Yeah, there's a chance of the plague going around the hospital," Callie informed them. "I don't think it's really anything to worry about," she tried to stay calm, "Do you?" She was nervous and they could tell.
"Don't worry, I'm sure everyone is fine," Meredith offered her a smile. It was then that she realized why Derek didn't answer his phone: he was on lock down. She would have to wait to talk to him.
