Crash

Disclaimer: If I owned GA, Mark and Addison would make out as often as Meredith and Derek. Obviously, I do not own Grey's.

Summary: A secret marriage, a tragedy, and a whole new set of interns. Can McCouple survive? MerDer, and Maddison, just because I can.

Setting: Slight future. Post-Addek divorce, Meredith and Derek rekindled their romance and six months later, got married. This is, they did this without anyone knowing except, of course, for those people that they told. duh. Soon after, Mark and Addison were married. Now, the interns are almost done with their residency and one of them has agreed to take on her own interns.

Later that afternoon, Derek Shepherd pulled his wife into a dark on call room, simultaneously turning on the lights, locking the door, and pinning her against it with a kiss.

"I haven't seen you all day," he whined.

"I know," Meredith said, smiling at her husband, "but I'm very, very busy today."

"You have interns now. You're now supposed to be busy."

"I know" She paused as Derek's mouth moved from just above hers to that spot on her neck. "They're all too busy talking about you, Mark, and Addison to do any actual work."

"Really" mused Derek, making his way across her collarbone, his hands moving over her stomach.

"Yes. Apparently, you are just adorable. Oh, and Mark and Addison spend way too much time making out."

"Ah, Mark can't help himself. By the way, we're having dinner with them tomorrow."

"Okay. I have to go now."

"Don't leave now. We were just getting to the good part."

"Oh? And what would that be?"

"This" Derek said as he scooped Meredith up and carried her to the bed.

The next morning, Meredith stood in front of her interns. "Alright, umm…Elise, you're with Dr. Sloane today."

"Which one?"

"Addison. She has a transfer coming in. Dr. Brown, you'll be with Chief Burke and Dr. Yang. If they start bickering, don't be alarmed. They're in love. Dr. Casley, you'll be in the pit and Dr. Summers…" she trailed off to silence.

"Dr. Grey? Are you okay?" Alexis looked worried. Meredith shook her head. "What? Oh, I'm fine. Dr. Summers, you'll be with Dr. Shepherd and me." Three of the interns ran off, leaving only Meredith and Alexis, who sped up to where Meredith was waiting.

"So, what are we doing today?" Alexis inquired as the pair walked briskly down the halls and into a small room.

"Mr. Pieper was admitted last night with irregular breathing. When nothing was wrong with his lungs, we found out that there is a tumor on his medulla oblongata. He's been drugged and intubated, but the tumor has to come out."

"Wow" Alexis said, obviously impressed. Behind them, Derek walked in.

"Ahh, good morning, Dr. Summers, Dr. She-…Grey," he said cheerfully, catching himself just in time.

Meredith just glared at him. "Dr. Shepherd" she said curtly. Luckily, Alexis didn't seem to have noticed. Derek smiled and turned to her. "Dr. Summers, he needs a CT."

"I'm on it," Alexis said hastily as she wheeled the bed out, leaving Meredith and Derek in the room.

"Derek!" Meredith scolded.

"What? You let me call you Dr. Shepherd last night," he teased, reaching out and taking her hand. Meredith could feel herself giving in to his grin. "You know what?" he continued. "I was starting to dislike pretending we're 'just friends', but it's starting to get fun again. Really, your interns are amusing. Dr. Casley, or Becca, as I'm supposed to call her, has already asked me out and touched my hair. Although, if Mitchell Brown stares at you or Addison one more time, I may have to kill him with my bare hands."

"Please don't. It would put me in the awkward position of having to explain to the board why the Head of Neurosurgery had killed my surgical intern."

"I make no promises"

"Even so, I should get going. I'm helping Dr. Bailey today. Page me when you get those CT results, okay?"

"Yes, Dr. Grey" Derek said in a mock serious tone, letting go of her hand. And then she was gone.

When Meredith found Bailey, she was elbow deep in intestine goop in the middle of OR three.

"Hi, Dr. Bailey. Sorry I'm late."

"Oh, you're not late. You're just in time to help me dig through this woman's small intestine."

"And what exactly are we looking for?"

"A ball. A one-inch rubber superball, to be exact."

"She swallowed a superball?"

"Yep. Trying to set a world record. She had fourteen in her mouth and as she was, um, removing them, she swallowed one"

"Ugh."

"Ugh is right. So I guess I should ask you how things are with McDreamy. You two still pretending you're not all gushy with love?"

"Yep. No one knows. I mean, you know. And Burke. And Cristina and Izzie and Alex and George and Callie and Webber. And, of course, Mark and Addison. But other than that, no one knows."

"Grey, you just listed everyone in the surgical wing except the nurses and interns."

"Exactly. You can see what's happened to Mark and Addison. They can't do anything without everyone knowing."

"They're not exactly working hard to keep down gossip. I swear, if I catch them in one more corner…"

"True, but they like the attention. At least, Mark does. But I don't think I could deal with all that."

"Well, you-" Bailey stopped suddenly. "I've got it. Alright, Grey, let's get this thing out of her. Scalpel."

Okay. That's it for now. Let's see, what will happen in the next chapter…Cristina and the other residents make some interesting bets, and a new intern joins Meredith's team. Um, reviews make me type faster. That's all I'm saying.
