A/N First story, please review (:
Chapter 1: Barely Breathing
"Mer, Derek's asking for you" Cristina said, still overwhelmed from the whole situation.
"Okay, coming" I said trying to hide the pregnancy test behind my back .
As Cristina left the room, I looked at the positive pregnancy test one more time before tossing it in the trash. Then I walked out of the residents lounge to go see Derek. When I walked in, I saw all the wires attached to him. I had to be strong. I had to be strong for him. He was my everything. I sat down by the bed holding his hand. His eyes started to open slowly. He flashed his half-smile. The smile that made me weak at the knees.
"Hey," he said weakly, it was hard for him to speak.
"How are you feeling?" I smiled at him.
"Tired," he continued "guess no hot nasty sex for me tonight" he chuckled, then frowned.
All I could do was smile; I didn't know what to do.
"What did you have to tell me?" he asked curiously.
My eyes got wide; I knew if i told him about the miscarriage, it'd break his heart.
"Nothing important, just something with Lexie, nothing I can't handle." I smiled reassuringly.
"Alright..." he seemed unsure about me, he could tell when I was lying, and he was just too tired to argue about it with me.
"Try to sleep" I smiled. He tried to keep his eyes open.
"Kiss first"
"Fine." I smiled then kissed him
Mark whistled as he walked by with his bloody scrubs.
Derek chuckled lightly.
"I love you" he said as his eyes closed.
"I love you too" I said as a tear rolled down my cheek as I looked down at my stomach.
Mark walked in, "Go get some sleep; I'll stay with him if he wakes up."
I looked at Derek then back at Mark "I don't wanna leave him."
"Meredith I'll be with him, go get changed and take a shower."
I sighed "Where's Lexie?"
"With Alex..."
My heart stopped.
"He's fine, he was shot, and he did lose a lot of blood, but we were able to make a transfusion."
I sighed in relief.
"Go get showered"
"Fine." I mumbled as I walked out of the room.
"I can't do this, I can't do this" April mumbled pacing back and forth.
"He's married for heaven's sake," Tears rolled down her cheeks "if I can't have Derek... I don't want to live." she slumped down against the on-call room wall
"Cristina!" Owen hollered as he ran down the stairwell to catch up to her.
"So what now you CHOOSE me?" Cristina said, clearly upset.
"Yes?" He questioned.
"I am not the type that sits around waiting for someone to CHOOSE her."
"Cris-"
"No Owen, I deserve someone that doesn't have to think about whether they want to be with me or not" She said as she ran out of the stairwell.
He shut the television off. What if she had gotten shot? He was worried. Even though he let her go, he still loved her. He should have been chief. He thought that none of this would have happened if Richard chose him to be chief in the first place. He couldn't sit back and watch this, he had to fly out there and see exactly what happened. It was no one other then, Preston Burke.
A/N : Okay, so, please review (: . I know that Burke has been gone for a long while, but I just wanted to put a special little twist on things. I know this was pretty boring, but I SWEAR it gets more interesting as the chapters go on, so just please review :D
Thank you lovies (:
