Summary: Meredith and Derek are Married when they start their first day work at Seattle Grace. They try to hide this for the others because they don't want people to hate Meredith because of that. Will they succeed? And how would their life be from the beginning.. Will contain lots of the real episodes with flashbacks to before Seattle.. Summary sucks I know..
First chapter is more a filler.
The game. They say either a person has what it takes to play, or they don't. My mother was one of the greatest. Me, on the other hand... I'm kinda screwed.
- Meredith Grey
Meredith yawned when she woke up on the couch, she looked around and smiled at the sight of Derek asleep on the floor next to her. She reached for the blanked covering his butt and took it away from him, covering herself with it. She grabbed a pillow from the floor and hit his but with it as she threw it on him.
Derek grunted when he felt something landing on his but. He slowly opened his eyes and he turned around. Facing Meredith who was searching for something. Then his eye met her bra, he picked it up from the ground and held it up. "searching for this?" he asked with a cocky smile crossed on his face
Meredith grabbed her bra from Derek and started to put it on. "We need to go soon" she said with a small smile, nerves kicking in.
Derek smiled at her as he sat up "Why don't you just come back down here and we will pick up where we left off?" he asked her as he held out his hand for her.
"No Derek, seriously. We have to go soon, we are already late, which isn't what you want on your first day off work" She told him as she took some steps towards him. She took his hand and made him stand. As he was standing before her she brushed her lips against his and he kissed her.
After the kiss she smiled at him "how did you sleep?" she asked with a smile, knowing that he would be sore from sleeping on the hard, cold floor.
"As long as you are with me I sleep great" he answered her with his cocky smile "although the room is a little dusty, but with some cleaning and painting it will be great" he smiled at her before kissing her once more.
"Look I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower.. I guess it's the best if we travel on our own.. so since we are already late I think you should leave now and I will come after my shower" Meredith said as she played with her ring "It will be hard, to hide that we are together" she said sadly.
Derek took her hands in his "It will be, but we can do it!" he said as he kissed her hand
"How do you know?" Meredith asked him
"Because we can" Derek said as he kissed her ring, her forehead and her lips "we can do anything" he said
Meredith smiled "I suppose" she said, before turning around, heading towards the shower.
Meredith quickly sneaked in the room, filled with other interns as a doctor was talking.
"Each of you comes here hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you." He said and looked up at Meredith, giving her a secret smile he turned around and left the room.
Meredith smiled, the smile she got from her step-father meant a lot for her. She quickly turned around and followed the other interns towards the locker room.
Meredith just got changed into her scrubs when a doctor walked into the room
"okay, Martins, Robbinson, Bond and Parkins. You are with me" the man said before walking away, the interns following him.
"Only six woman out of twenty" Meredith muttered softly to herself
"I know.. I heard one of them is a model. Seriously, like that's going to help with the respect thing" A Korean woman said
Meredith turned around, facing the girl she met on the Mixer the other night "you're Cristina right?" she asked
Cristina just nodded "Which resident got you assigned to? I got the Nazi" Cristina asked
Meredith smiled a small smile "Bailey? yeah I got Bailey too" she answered. Noticing a boy walking up towards them
"You got the Nazi? So did I. At least we'll be tortured together, right? I'm George O'Malley, uh, we met at the mixer, you had a black dress with a slit up the side, strappy sandals." He said, as Meredith and Cristina exchanged looks
George looked up at them "great, Now you think I'm gay." He sighed
Cristina turned around and muttered a "uh huh" while she walked away.
George looked up at Meredith "No, I'm not gay, it's, ah, it's just that, you know, you were, I mean, you were very, unforgettable." He told her just before Bailey walked in the room and called them..
A blond girl stepped towards them and walked over to Bailey with a huge smile on her face, and she extended her hand towards her "Hi, I'm Isobel Stevens, but everyone calls me Izzy" she happily said
Dr. Bailey looked her up and down while not responding to her extended hand "I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up, I already hate you, that's not going to change." she indicated stuff on the bench "Trauma protocol, phone lists, pagers. Nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run, that's rule number two. Your first shift starts now and lasts forty-eight hours. You're interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain, you run labs, write orders, work every second night till you drop and don't complain!" She walked towards a door and opened it "On call rooms. Attending's love them, sleep when you can, where you can, which brings me to rule number three, if I'm sleeping, don't wake me, unless your patient is actually dying. Rule number four, the dying patient better not be dead when I get there, not only would you have killed someone, you would have also woke me for no good reason, are we clear?"
Meredith raised a hand
"yes?"
"well you said that there were five rules, you only listed four" Meredith said as Bailey's pager went off
"Rule number five, when I move, you move" she said before running off towards the corridor.
Meredith was walking through the hall when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into the stairwell
"Dr. Shepherd" she smiled "I need you to look at my patient" she quickly said
Derek chuckled "this morning it was still Derek" he teased her as he pinned her into the wall before kissing her.
Meredith quickly returned the kiss before pushing him away "not here Derek, don't make this harder than it is, and please stop looking at me like that" she said as she placed her hands on her hips
Derek grinned at her "looking at you like what?"
"like you have seen me naked" she answered before pushing the file in his arms. "guess we are on the same case now" she said before walking away, leaving Derek behind with a huge grin.
Meredith walked up the stairs, after receiving a 911 call from her patient Kathie.. she didn't feel like hurrying to the room because Kathie would page every 10 minutes because she felt bored. Just as she arrived on the top of the stairs she notices a nurse running towards the room, so she quickly started to run towards the room
"What took you so long?" one of the two nurses asked angrily
"She's having multiple grand mal seizures, now how do you want to proceed? Dr. Grey? Are you listening to me? She's got Diazepam, 2mg Diazepam, I just gave her a second ago, Dr. Grey, you need to tell us what you want to do. Dr. Grey!" the other nurse said as she looked at Meredith.
Meredith in the meantime started to panic, she quickly grabbed the chart and started to read "so she has had Prazepam?" she asked
"She's had 4mg." the nurse answered while looking at her impatiently
"Did you page Dr's. Bailey and Shepherd?" Meredith asked, hoping they would be there soon to help her
"The Prazepam's not working" the nurse replied while looking at the monitor
Meredith thought for a moment "Phenobarbital, load her with Phenobarbital" she quickly said as she watched the nurses do so
"Pheno's in" the blonde nurse said "it's not working" the other one replied quickly behind.
Meredith sighed "did you page Dr. Shepherd?" she asked the nurses again
"I told you, we did" one nurse replied while letting Meredith know she was not happy with her.
"Well do it again" Meredith snapped as she thought what to do next
"Dr. Grey, what do you want us to do? Dr. Grey I need you to tell us what to do now" The older nurse said as she snapped Meredith out of her thoughts "she is coding" she quickly added as the room got filled with beeps.
Meredith quickly took out the defibrillators "charge, 200" Meredith said before shocking Kathie, she sighed when it didn't work "charge again 300" She told the nursed before shocking the young woman again
"still nothing, 49 seconds" the nurse said
"Charge again 390" Meredith told the nurses, "come one Kathie" she murmured before shocking again.
"Blood pressure is coming up, got a sinus rhythm" the blonde nurse said with a relieved smile
Derek runs in the room "what happened?" he asked as he looked at his wife, still holding the peddles
"she had a seizure and.." Meredith started but Derek cut her off
"a seizure?" Derek asked her
"Her heart stopped" Meredith quickly added
Derek looked at her angrily "you were supposed to be monitoring her, what were you doing?" he asked her
"I checked on her.. I .. I .. she just" Meredith said as she felt the tears welling up in her eyes "where were you?" she asked him
"I got it, just go.. go now" Derek said while he didn't even took a look at her anymore "someone hand me her chart now" He ordered the nurses. Not even noticing that Meredith left the room with tears in her eyes.
As soon as Meredith run out the room Dr. Bailey noticed her coming out "You get a 911, you page me immediately, not in the five minutes it takes you to get to the emergency, immediately, you are on my team and if somebody dies it's my ass, you hear me, Grey?" Bailey asked her but Meredith ignored her and just kept walking.
She didn't know how fast she had to get outside. When she walked outside she immediately felt the rain on her skin and at that moment she was glad that it was raining. She walked towards the first grass she noticed and started to throw up. It was not how she expected her first day to go, getting snapped at by her husband and throwing up outside the hospital
