Chapter 4
Christina POV:
Everyone was asleep but me I couldn't sleep. Watching over all of them was my job I have the least injuries and am not stuck in metal like Derek. Suddenly hearing a distressed groan come from Mark I crawl over to him. He has a plus it's faint but there I can't let him die like I let Lexie die under that plane. Keeping a close eye on him I go and check Meredith's leg. We wrapped it up in a shirt I as unwrap it a terrible smell comes from it causing Mer to stir. It was definitely infected but there was nothing we could do that would help her. After checking up on Mer and re wrapping her leg I go check on Derek's hand for reflexes. I tap each finger and no response I push it to the back of my mind thinking it was just because he was sleeping. I repeat the same process all night.
Meredith POV:
Waking up I see Christina leaning over my leg checking the infection.
"How bad is it?"
" I'm sorry did I wake you up ?"
"You didn't answer my question."
" You didn't answer mine either."
"No you did not wake me up. Now tell me how bad is the infection!"
"It's bad Mer you need to get to a hospital other wise there is a 95% chance that you could lose your leg."
I take a deep breath and slowly try to get into a sitting position. Getting only halfway up I gasp in pain and fall back.
"Mer stop don't try to sit up you have lost a lot of blood."
"I'm going to die out here just like my sister."
"Mer don't talk like that you're going to be ok we are all going to be ok.
Derek POV:
Waking up I try to get up forgetting what had happened yesterday but only for a moment. Searing pain shoots up my arm when I try to move and everything rushed back. Screaming out in pain I hear a rush of movement to my left.
"Derek what happened you ok!" Christina says with fear
"I tried to sit up."
"Oh so you ok now."
"Except for my arm being trapped in a chunk of plane."
Arizona POV:
I wake up sore from sleeping on the ground obviously because I was just in a plane crash. I slowly get up and see Christina changing the shirt on Meredith's leg. I walk over. I look down at Meredith's leg and I have to run to a nearby tree to throw up. Christina gets up and comes over to me.
"Hey you ok?"
"Yeah it's just the infection on Mare's leg is really gross."
"Don't let on of how bad it is to Mare."
"I won't."
Meredith's POV:
Suddenly waking up from severe pain in my leg I see Christina talking to Arizona. They both looked concerned I started worrying about Derek because as they talked they looked over to me. Seeing that I was awake they come over to me and sit down.
"Is Derrek ok?"
"Yeah he is just sleeping." Christina responds
"Why were you concerned about him?"Arizona asks
"For one thing he is my husband and second you guys looked concerned when you were taking and you kept looking at me."
"We were going over injuries." Christina says quickly
It's been 3 days since the crash and I wake up suddenly to a noise like a helicopter. I open my eyes and I see the bright lights of a search light. Too weak and sick to move I close my eyes again. I wake up again and am in a strange hospital with strange people working on me.
"Where am I?"
"You are at Boise Memorial Hospital." a nurse replies
"Why am I in the hospital? Whats going on where is Derrek an-and Zola!" I say starting to feel panic rise in my chest
"Dr. Grey you were in a plane crash. Your husband was taken to surgery. Just relax we have gotten everything taken care of.
Before I could protest a mask was placed on my face and I feel into a deep sleep.
Waking up I try to use my legs to sit up only to realize that something wasn't right something felt different very different. Before I could try and figure it out and before I could sit up a doctor walks in.
"Ahhhh you're awake. How are you feeling?" The strange Dr. asks me
"I feel a little strange but otherwise I'm ok."
"That's normal for someone who has been through as much as you have."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure anything I am your Dr."
"First what's your name, and second why do I feel so strange why do I feel like something is missing?"
"Oh dear I forgot you were unconscious when we first met I'm Dr. Krieger head of surgery, and to answer the second question that's why I'm here. when you finally arrived here the infection in your leg was to deep. We had to make a tough decision and unfortunately my staff and I agreed that we had to amputate it. If we didn't amputate it you would have just gotten sicker and sicker. I'm so sorry ."
Suddenly it all makes sense I feel so weird trying to sit up because I only have one leg. I Dr. Meredith Grey surgeon and mother only has 1 leg. I stop moping and realize that the Dr. is gone and he didn't tell me anything about the others. I can't survive without knowing if Derek is safe. I need to know how the love of my life my husband Derek Christopher Shepherd is doing. Did they save his hand? Will he ever do surgery again? Is he still alive?
