I got like so many reviews for yesterday's chapter! Thanx soooo much!!! Now you get to find out who is shot.
Chapter 4: What's Going to Happen?
"OMG! How was he shot?" Meredith yelled.
"He was wandering the halls, said he was looking for his mother when the gunman came in," The EMS person said.
"Do you mind me asking if he's a relative of yours?"
"He's my son," Meredith managed to say. Just then Bailey walked in.
"Oh my- Grey your shift is over. Yang page Burke and Stevens! Have her keep the kids in the on-call room," Bailey demanded. While Burke was on his way they hooked DJ up to an IV and got him prepped for an X-ray and MRI.
"Christina what do we have?" Burke asked in the hallway.
"DJ was shot in the chest," Christina said.
"Oh my!" Burke exclaimed.
"Meredith had the nurses prep him for an x-ray and MRI," Christina said, "Should I tell them to go ahead?"
"No, I want to take a look at him before I send him," Burke said. The sight before them when they walked in was mentally painful. Meredith was trying to calm DJ down as he was crying out in pain. The nurse was trying to put in his morphine drip.
The MRI Room
DJ was getting ready for his MRI. He looked absolutely frightened.
"Uncle Burke I'm scared, I want mommy," DJ said.
"Sweetie, I'm right here. You see the big machine you're in," he nodded, "Well it's gonna take pictures of inside your body so I need you to lay very still," Meredith said in a soothing voice.
Where Derek's At
"Hey Derek, what's up?" Addison said. They were looking at the OR board but Derek was looking at one in particular. Patient: Derek Shepherd Junior. GSW victim to the chest.
"Oh Derek, do you know?" Addison asked.
"Addison how I can I not know?" Derek yelled, "He's got my looks, his pictures are all over my mom's living room and he's named after me! Wait you knew to!"
"Derek all the kids of the interns are famous in this hospital. Everybody knows them and I was Meredith's OBGYN," Addison replied.
"I have to go," Derek said. With that he walked off towards the roof.
Where Meredith's AT
Meredith's POV
My son has been shot and Derek's here. Perfect timing. Life couldn't get any better! Gosh I'm starting to sound like Christina. Maybe I should tell him so that he can help me through this crisis. I dunno.
"Dr. Grey, your son has no bleeding and the bullet is lodged between the lungs. There is an OR available, should we proceed with surgery?" an intern said. My son has a bullet lodged between his lungs. A hard and dangerous procedure. What would I do if he died?
End of Meredith's POV
"Proceed with surgery but I would like to see him before," Meredith replied. The intern nodded and stepped aside so she could se her son.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"Ok, I guess," DJ replied.
"Well you know you have a bullet in you?" Meredith began and DJ nodded, "You have to have a big operation to get rid of it."
"Will you be there?" DJ asked.
"No but I'll be there when they put the sleeping medicine in," Meredith said.
"Dr. Grey we have to take him in now," The intern said.
"OK. Alright sweetie, I'll se you soon," Meredith said giving DJ a kiss on his forehead.
In the OR
DJ's surgery was about to begin. All they had to do was put the anesthesia in.
"Mommy, I'm really scared!" DJ said in a scared voice.
"Don't worry, it will be done soon and when you wake up I'll be by your bedside," Meredith said. By the time she was finished her sentence, DJ drifted into a peaceful sleep.
"Page me when he's out," Meredith demanded. What she didn't know was that Derek was watching from the gallery the entire time.
Meredith's POV
DJ is now in surgery. If there are no complications, then he should make a full recovery. It's a true fact that kids just bounce back from surgery.
I ran towards the roof ignoring all the calls from the people behind me.
When I reached the roof, I watched everyone living their lives peacefully. Not one of those people knew of the havoc going on in the hospital. I finally let out the tears I've been holding for the past few hours. I cried for DJ, for Derek being home and everything I'm about to go through.
End of Meredith's POV
"Shh. It's gonna be ok," Derek said as he pulled Meredith into his arms
"I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. He was my something worth living for," Meredith sobbed.
"You're not going to lose him. If he's anything like his mother then I'm sure he's a fighter," Derek said.
"And if he's anything like his then he won't give up," Meredith said looking into his blue eyes.
"I'm sorry I never told you."
"It's ok. I lost all contact with all my friends so there were no way you could have told me," Derek said not breaking their eye contact. Meredith's pager started going off. (I know in real surgery would not be that short but hey it's my fic.) It was from Burke saying DJ was out of surgery and in his room.
"Come on let's go see our son," Meredith said grabbing Derek's hand.
