A/N: Hi there people. It's been a while... So.. Here's the thing. I've been renewing the chapters for this story and added some as well. The old one I deleted and for you who have read that one, well I've changed some but most of it remains. I've got this idea when I was up in the mountains skiing and as I am on holiday now, I have the perfect opportunity to add more chapters and finish this. I will try to update every Monday and we'll see how that turns out!
Oh, and this plays out after Merediths drowning accident but before Burke's and Cristinas wedding. After George and Izzie kissed in the elevator too and Addison and Mark are on their finale day of the sixty-days limit!
I don't own anything, not the characters or the song. Nothing...
Enjoy!
/ Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and I love him so
Every morning when the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
Hallelujah I just love him so /

Okay, so I've said that 4.30 come to damn early in the morning and that I would practically kill for a normal 9 to 5 job. But some days couldn't be better...

"Good morning."
The darkness in the small on-call room breaks when cold hospital lights shoots its way in. The door shuts behind a dark figure with brown, perfectly mussed hair holding two hot, steaming cups of coffee. Meredith covers her eyes with the beds cover and pretends not to have heard the very familiar voice. She can hear the blinds turning so that the early sunbeams can give the sterilized on-call room an almost cozy glow. The cups are placed at the small table besides the bed and the mattress shifts under the other person's weight. A hand caress the covered part of Meredith's body and she can't resist the urge to flip the covers down a bit so that the warm hand can wake her sleepy body.
"Derek, stop watching me sleep!"
She whispers more softly then it's meant to and opens her eyes a tiny bit to see Derek sitting beside her, watching her sleep.
"Ah, but you look so cute. I brought coffee, see!"
Derek hurries to save himself from the wrath of his morning-cranky girlfriend by holding the coffee tempting in front of her. She takes a long sip, followed by another, and another before she puts the coffee beside and pulls Derek closer.
Meredith was the on-call intern last night so she has probably had only a few hours of sleep before Derek woke her up. He had gone home early because of an early surgery in the morning and she can smell the faint scrub soap smell mixed with his apple/cinnamon-shower cream. She inhales him for a second or two and her lips aches to feel his. She pulls of his scrub shirt and drags him down in the bed with her. Her warmth radiates to him as she tangles her body with his. She kisses him hungry, wanting more for every second, wishing everything could move faster but still slower to enjoy the moment fully. After giving him a breathless kiss she feels him smiling at her.
"Do I get this just for bringing coffee?" He asks, clearly amused by her wanting for total control and urge.
"Hey, what can I say, I like coffee!" She smiles and breathes down his throat, taking small bites along the way.
The covers soon feels suffocating in the little bed. Meredith won't get to play the teaser for long. Derek rolls her over and pins her down to the bed while he plants kisses from her collarbone down to her stomach. He starts to take of her shirt at the same time while unhooking her bra.
"Derek ... " But before she can finish her sentence the loud sound of the pager fills the small on-call room. "Seriously?!"
Both of their pagers goes off.
"Seriously!"
Meredith pulls her scrub shirt on again and looks down at the beeper. "It's the chief!"
Derek pulls on his scrubs and goes to look at his beeper as well. "I swear that man has a sixth sense about this sort of things... "he mutters, feeling very disappointed.
"You could use a cold shower right now." Meredith points out and giggles a bit at his quite obvious erection.
"Yeah well, let's have it together." Derek blinks teasingly at Meredith who tries to smooth her hair and her clothes. You could obviously see what they had done or was going to do so she decides the best thing to do is take a shower. She nods smiling and they both hurries of to Derek's office for a refreshing shower.

The elevator doors opens with a loud ding and reveals a very hot but tired attending. As the red-haired woman walks in, the tiredness seems to be far from his mind as he stares with amazement and hunger, starting from the 4 inch heels – that looks so damn hot – to her tight pen-skirt up to her almost perfectly laid hair. To him, he had never met anyone so perfect as her. But it didn't matter if she had on a Gucci-dress or his boxers, she still was undeniable perfect to him.
"You are staring at me" Addison says in a tired voice, but the smile is hidden in there as well.
"Can you blame me?" Mark asks truthfully and slowly makes his way towards the doors and where Addison is standing. He leans in so close to her that she, for a second thinks that he is going to kiss her, but only strokes back a stray of her hair. He stops there though, challenging her to kiss him. None of them moves and they stand so close that they felt each others hot breaths.
The sixty days limit is ending tomorrow but the tension between them is too much to bear. Addison wants to complete the almost-kiss and much more but they have a deal and she is not the one to break it. For a moment she thinks about how she would feel if Mark broke the deal, with her, but decides that she only wants it to be tomorrow.
"Erhm, Dr.Montgomery, Dr.Sloan." George stares down at the floor, very uncomfortable, as he steps inside the elevator.
Addison backs away from Mark and the moment is gone but in her head the scene keeps on going...
"O'Malley" they both replies. Mark smirks at Addison but she looks straightforward. The elevator stops yet again to reveal a hollow-looking Izzie followed by Burke and Christina.
"Dr.Stevens, Dr. Burke, Dr.Yang." They all nod politely to each other before going into their own little worlds. Cristina and Burke discussing the matter of the wedding band and George and Izzie ignoring each other in their own ways. Mark and Addison with both similar expressions of desire written in their faces.
The tension soon becomes uncomfortable between Izzie and George as they stand on each side of the wall, pretending to be busy with their nails or studying the number sign. The others can feel it too and it certainly doesn't lighten as Callie stepped inside. Luckily, the trip is short when the doors opens and reveals the corridor to the conference room where all of them have been sent to. Cristina steps out first, seeing Meredith standing with Derek outside the door, and drags Burke with her. Izzie waits last for everyone to go before she slowly moves towards everyone else while keeping her eyes locked on Callie in a I-would-smack-you-so-hard-you-would-fall-and-break-something-look.
"Wha.. Why are you wet? What dirty things have you been up to now?" Cristina eyes suspiciously the pair who was both a bit wet from the shower they took that turned out not to be so cold.
"Non of your business" Meredith answers and gets a bit embarrassed with Burke standing there hearing everything. Cristina glances Burkes way and then snaps: "Oh, don't mind him he wouldn't do anything even if you two where going at it right here and now!"
Derek, who has a hard time holding back his mockery laughter snorts a bit and looks up at the ceiling, Burke mimicking him in a disturbed manner. "Shall we leave these two ladies alone before they forces us into something?" Derek asks and winks at Burke who gets the point and the two of them runs to a safer retreat on the other side with Mark. Cristina gives both of them looks to kill and Meredith is really confused by her behavior.
"Cristina, what are you doing? Are you pregnant or possessed by the devil or something?" Meredith asks and backs away a step to prove her point.
"What? No, but I am so damn sick of him right now. I so need sex and I have listened to your sex life hundreds of time so talk! No, wait, I don't think I want to here. He and his stupid: "We'll wait to have sex until we're married" is freaking killing me!"." She crossed her arms stubbornly but before Meredith had the chance to figure out why Cristina was acting this way, the door to the conference room opened and they all went inside, Alex managing to catch the door just as it's about to shut.

"Hello again!"
The Chief is standing at the speaker box, looking over everyone and smirks a bit before continuing:
"The reason I've gathered you all here today is because of a very important conference that I want you all to attend to. This is a very rare and most important chance for us to promote this hospital and off course also for you to freshen up those sharp heads of your. While it is customary for only the attendings to attend at the conference, we will send each of the attendings an intern. The interns will be allowed also to hear the lectures and I trust them in particularly to set a good example of how high the level of competence we have here. I wanted to bring one doctor for each leading field here and that is why I've decided to send Calliope Torres and Sydney Herron too. Oh, and because there are five interns, Sydney will act as Isobel Stevens attending."
The chief pauses for a moment of breath and looks out at the doctors. For a short moment, he and Meredith locks eyes and she can almost see a meaningful sparkle in his eyes. Then he looks at his papers and continues, acting deaf to the low objections when the doctors realize that Sydney was going too. Meredith fakes a tired expression before smiling at Derek who stifles a giggle. "I'm sad for Izzie's sake but I'm so glad not to be Sydney's attending." She whispers and Derek answers. "Well I know who my intern is and I'm not so sorry for that." He blinks and Meredith giggles slightly.
"As I said, this conference is rare and very very important because all of the leading hospitals in the world are going to send their best doctors. The conference is going to be held in the French Alps, Chamonix Mount Blanc to be precise. I hope you all knows how to ski." With that he smiles and steppes down from the speaker box and hurries away to do some paperwork.

"Oh god, why am I going on this trip. And seriously Sydney?" Izzie bangs her head against the wall in front of her while talking to herself.
The interns passing her gives her looks of sorry, the only one gloating is Christina and Izzie sticks her tongue out at her as Cristina snickers. Sydney strides up to Izzie's side and lays a hand on her shoulder and smiles: "We are going to have so much fun!" She says and Izzie turns away, feeling more low than ever.
