Hey everyone! Here is the beginning and it starts off as the season 3 finale, (post episode 3.24) which will then morph into season 4. Trust me, you will know what the cliffhanger of season 3 is because of the way it is written, but just to be safe, I'll notify you all as well to make sure you know when I'm starting my season 4.

I do NOT in any way own Grey's Anatomy. Simple, concise, and straight to the point, however I wish I did.

Sometimes, as surgeons, we feel like we're sleep walking half the time- like were not awake. But after all who can blame us? We never get sleep or at least when we get the chance to were usually not alone. Its like we aren't really awake. Each day passes us by. But once in a while we do awake and experience magical moments in our lives.

Meredith rolled around in her bed. Too tired to get up she stared out the window. Her best friend was getting married today. She tossed and turned until her alarm clock dinged and it was 430 am. She had to get up. Slowly she managed to turn off the annoying buzzing noise that rang loud in her ear and sit up straight.

She had never realized how big her bed had been. Usually Derek had always been there. She remembered how his awful morning breath had made her giggle and how he'd managed to put up with her snoring with wax ear plugs.

But lately, lately things weren't the same. She couldn't explain it but since her accident in the water during the ferry disaster she just couldn't bring herself out of this shell; like an outer coating wrapped around her entire body, not letting anyone in. Since the disaster with Thatcher she didnt feel like opening up about any of it. All she cared about was that Cristina had found happiness and thats all she intended on thinking about.

Unlike Meredith, Cristina easily rolled out of bed. She jumped in the shower at 4 am, getting ready for work.

"What are you doing?" Burke asked walking in on her.

"Jeez!" Cristina screamed, "You scared me. I'm getting ready for work what do you think I'm doing?"

"Oh no," Burke shook his head, "you're not. Today is the big day, no you are staying here in the apartment until our wedding, then we will have the reception and it's off to our honeymoon."

Cristina had never been much of a party girl. She, unlike most, had refused to have a bachelorette party. Luckily the honeymoon was only to California not too far because she'd never been one for traveling.

"Well where are you going?" she asked in jealousy.

"I happen to have a couple of patients I need to take care of this morning, you on the other hand get to relax and just wait for my mother to get here and she'll get everything situated." Burke said.

"How am I supposed to relax with your mother here?" she asked annoyed.

Burke laughed and Cristina, with a towel around her, walked out of the shower and started to brush her teeth.

Burke answered her, "See you at the church at 4." With that he kissed her on the forehead and was off.
