After breaking apart from the kiss Meredith grinned.

"Do you want to get some coffee?" he asked, smiling, brushing some of her hair back, "Because when we drink alcohol…."

Meredith giggled softly. "We could go to my house, drink coffee and talk," she suggested.

"That sounds like a great idea."

AAA

George and Izzie were standing within earshot of the kitchen. Derek and Meredith were sitting in there drinking coffee and talking about things. Real things. Childhood memory things. Laughing.

Izzie opened her cell phone and pulled George over by the stairs to call Cristina.

Cristina was almost asleep when her phone rang. She felt around for it, blindly, picked it up and answered. "What?"

"They're back together."
"Who?"

"Meredith and Derek. They're drinking coffee and talking and she said they're starting over."

Cristina could have killed Izzie. "Seriously? You called me after midnight to tell me that McDreamy and Meredith got back together?" without waiting for Izzie's response she hung up.

Izzie hung up her phone and looked to George. "If they keep us up all night again…."

AAA

Bailey noticed Meredith's once again happy demeanor during rounds and not only suspected but knew it had something to do with a certain McDreamy neurosurgeon.

"George is off today to stay with his family since his father is here. I might regret saying this but Grey, you're with Shepard today in neuro," But then she had the power and Izzie was still on probation "Stevens, you're shadowing Grey. Karev, you go with Dr. Montgomery. Yang - the pit."

"The pit?" Cristina questioned after all the others scattered, why the pit?

"Can you tell me why you erased my name?" Bailey asked once again.

Cristina hesitated….she could tell Bailey and possibly hurt Burke or spend the day in the pit doing sutures. "No, I can't."

"Then you're in the pit!"

AAA

Meredith and Izzie were picking up labs for Derek's patient when they ran into Mark.

"Well hello, ladies," he greeted, "still shadowing, Dr. Stevens?"

"Hey, yeah I am," Izzie replied with a smile like always.

"Hi," Meredith said less than enthusiastically.

"Oh what's gotten into you today, Dr. Grey?" Sloan asked smiling, "Or what hasn't? Think I could help you out with that?"

She narrowed her eyes at him, "If you want to be friends with him again maybe you shouldn't try stealing his girlfriend AND breaking rule number one."

Mark raised an eyebrow, "Girlfriend? I thought you were taking some space."

"Technically that's breaking rule number two," She grabbed the labs and started leaving with Izzie, "Stop breaking the rules."

Once they were out of earshot Izzie asked, "There's rules? With Sloan? What for?"

AAA

"Bailey, I need Cristina for a surgery this afternoon," Burke said, coming up to Miranda at the second floor nurses station.

"She is my intern and I told her to cover the pit today, Dr. Burke. And since she wont tell me why she erased my name from the board she does not get in on ANY surgeries"

"She's just covering the pit today and Stevens is on probation. I need an intern and she is available." He put his hands on his hips and gave her the Dr. Burke look

Knowing she'd get the truth eventually and with these interns they'd all know why soon she gave in - for now. She gave him her Bailey evil eye "Fine."

George, overhearing that and knowing what was wrong, said to himself. "I have to do something"

He went looking for Derek who happened to be in surgery with Meredith. Izzie was in the gallery watching. George sat with her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I need to talk to Shepherd" George replied, "And my brothers were driving me nuts."

"What do you need to talk to him about?"

"Just stuff."

"Ok. How's your dad?" she asked.

"We're still waiting for the labs to come back but Callie gave him some more morphine for the pain."

"Oh yeah, his clavicle," she remembered. "How are you and Callie doing anyway?"

"She broke up with me but she's hanging out with my brothers," he shrugged, "It's a little weird."

AAA

Addison walked into the patient's room to find more people that she expected with her intern. "Hi, I'm Dr. Addison Montgomery. What do we have Dr. Karev?"

Alex turned to her, "Casey Linden, 28. She's 30 weeks pregnant, stared showing signs of preterm labor during the rehearsal dinner."

Casey smiled, her fiancée at her side, "I'm getting married in two days."

"Which explains all the people," Addison smiled, looking from Casey and her fiancée to the 3 other apparent family members. "We're going to start you on some medication to stop the labor and I want to keep you here maybe over night for observation."

"But she'll be ok?" a woman who seemed to be her mother asked.

"Absolutely."

AAA

Derek and Meredith where standing at the sinks scrubbing out.

Derek smiled "Good work Dr. Grey."

Grinning, Meredith replied, "Thank you, Dr. Shepherd."

Derek finished up, dried his arms and hands and left the scrub room followed shortly by Meredith. George spotted him.

"Dr. Shepherd, can I talk to you?"

Derek and Meredith turned around, Izzie caught up with the small group.

"Sure, what is it?" asked Derek.

George shifted a little uncomfortably. "Um…privately?"

"No problem," he turned to Meredith and Izzie "Can you two start with post op"

"Yeah," Replied Meredith.

"Sure," Izzie said at the same time.

The girls left and Derek crossed his arms, leaning against the wall "What did you want to talk about."

"It's about Dr. Burke's hand…"
