Chapter 3:
"NO! it… it can't be" Derek said
"Let's take her to trauma 2, get her 2 units of A+ and page Dr. Baily, Sloan and Torres" Owen said. "oh and make sure that Dr. Shepherd, Yang and Grey don't go into the room. Let's move people!"
In the trauma room:
"let's get her x-ray and a CT to make sure there's no internal damage; and book and OR. Oh and page Dr. Nelson, she needs a neuro consult.
"stats dropping" a nurse said.
"Starting compressions" Bailey 'announced'
Suddenly there was the long, continues beep that every doctor hated hearing.
"damn it, she's crashing" Owen said in frustration.
"charge to 250; clear!" Callie said; "no change". "charging to 300; clear! She's back"
Everyone in the room could breathe again.
"let's take her upstairs, hurry up people!"
Derek waited for what seemed like forever until finally Dr. Bailey came out.
"her injuries are pretty bad… she coded in the trauma room and her CT scan shows internal bleeding in the spleen. We're taking her now to surgery to repair her spleen and crushed legs. Mark sewed her laceration and will suture her cuts when we take out the glass. We'll do our best but you need to prepare yourself…" Bailey was trying her best to stay focused and emotionally detached but she could feel her own eyes filling with tears when she saw Derek's face.
A few minutes after Bailey left Alex came. He looked exhausted and concerned. "how is she?"
"it's not good. I'm scared I might loose her" Derek said and broke into tears.
"she'll make it through, she'll fight, she has to…"
Suddenly they saw Lexie walking towards them, her eyes were red from crying.
"I… I just heard. What… what are her injuries?" she whispered the last word.
"Her legs are crushed, she had a big laceration on her head, internal bleeding and shattered glass all over her body. She coded in the trauma room" Derek said in a robotic voice trying not to think how bad the situation is.
"oh god" Lexie said and let out a heart breaking sob.
Alex just sat there with his hands covering his face.
6 hours later
Owen came to the waiting room and sat next to Lexie, Derek, Alex and Christina that just heart what happened- she looked like she was in shock.
"Callie managed to repair her legs, and mark sutured all the cuts she had after removing the glass; but the damage in the spleen was too extensive so we had to take it out."
"she's alive" Derek more stated than asked with hope in his voice.
"she's facing a long recovery and many months over physical therapy but yes, she's alive. She's in recovery now and soon we'll transfer her to the ICU and you'll be able to visit her.
A few hours later
Derek had been sitting next to her bed holding her hand for hours. Every 20 minutes a nurse came and checked her stats.
"De… Derek?" Derek heard the quiet whisper.
"I'm here, you had an accident but you're going to be ok."
suddenly Meredith looked concerned "what about Alex, and the baby and oh god, all these people that dies"
"shhhh it's ok. Alex and the baby are fine. You should focus on yourself."
"ok…"
"are you in pain?"
"no"
Derek knew it was a lie but he didn't have the emotional energy to start arguing with her.
"do you need anything?"
"just you"
"I'll stay here but you should rest. You just had a major surgery. Ok mer?" no answer "Mer?"
suddenly she started to seize and the next thing notices was seeing his wife coding again.
cliffhanger... soon school will start again so I won't be able to update a lot...
please review- it means so much to me, it might sound cheesy but it really makes my day :)
