Previously: Meredith wasn't well and she collapsed in the toilets. Addison was with her.

Meredith opened her eyes and looked around the room she was now in. She was in a hospital bed with an IV drip attached to her arm and an oxygen mask over her face. Her head hurt. She gingerly raised a hand to the back of her head and felt a bump forming. She groaned. She noticed 3 people sitting at the end of her bed whispering to each other. They hadn't noticed she was awake and they seemed annoyed with each other.

"Why me?" Izzie whispered furiously at George and Cristina.

"Well, I'm a guy." George shrugged. "I wouldn't feel comfortable telling her".

"And I'm Cristina." Cristina also shrugged. "I don't know how to be... tactful"

"That is true," Izzie sighed and looked up. She noticed Meredith watching them with a puzzled look on her face. "Mer, you're awake". Izzie smiled at her.

Meredith pulled the oxygen mask away from her face and struggled to sit up. "What's going on? What are you all doing here? I only fainted. I'm fine" Meredith laughed.

"Yeah, you're right. You're fine. George, we have that thing to do for Dr Bailey." Cristina stood up to leave.

"That thing?" George asked, confused. Cristina nudged him painfully in the ribs and raised her eyebrow. "Oh, yes. The thing." He hurried out the door following Cristina.

Izzie moved towards Meredith. "How you feeling?"

At that moment Addison entered the room. "Ah, Meredith. You're awake, good. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. I just fainted. Do I really have to have the mask and the drip? Really, I'm fine.." Meredith looked between Izzie and Addison.

"Dr Stevens, could you give us a moment please?" Addison smiled and nodded towards the door. Izzie looked unsure but then obligingly left. Addison turned back to Meredith.

"Meredith, were you aware that you're 5 weeks pregnant?"

"Dr Bailey, I need an intern to scrub in". Derek Shepherd approached Miranda and her interns.

Cristina's hand shot up in the air, elbowing George in the eye as she did so. "Owwww" George yelped, raising a hand to his eye.

"Sorry. Pick me! Oh please, pick me" Cristina waved her hand in the air.

"Dr Yang, you can scrub in. O'Malley, are you alright?" Miranda asked, standing with her hands on her hips. "And where's Grey?"

"She's up with Addi..Owww!" George was cut off as Izzie elbowed him sharply in the ribs. "I don't know." George rubbed his chest gingerly.

Derek, who had been filling in a patient's notes raised his head. "She's up with Addison? I thought Dr Karev was working with her?"

"He is.. Erm, Meredith is.. she's helping.. there was a surgery...and she's erm helping. Did you hear that? Excuse me a minute" Izzie replied and hurried off in the opposite direction.

"Yang, you go with Dr Shepherd. O'Malley - you're with me" Miranda headed off towards a patient's room.

"So, Cristina... what's really happening with Meredith?" Derek asked as they headed off to the OR.
