Chapter 4! I know it took a while but I have been crazy busy!

I don't own any part of Grey's Anatomy. . . Sadly.


Chapter 4: One Foot Wrong

Meredith POV

"So you live here? And you want me to live here?" Mark asked questioningly.

"We can clean it up. I just haven't had time. I guess we could start cleaning it now."

He smiled a mischievous grin. "I know something else we can do now." He scooped me up bridal style and took me to the bedroom.

I looked at the clock, 5:30. I had to get up so I could make it to the hospital for rounds. I just rolled over and turned off the alarm.

"My God, what time is it?" Mark asked as he buried his head under the pillows.

"5:30, I have rounds. I should get up, I need to get to the hospital."

He maneuvered himself so he was on top of me. "Or we could stay in bed all day, and call in sick."

"You can call in sick being an attending, I however can't since I am an intern."

Mark didn't reply, he was too busy kissing my neck. I got lost in the emotion and desire.

* * *

"Grey, you are late." Bailey said as joined the other interns.

"Sorry Bailey."

"Okay people. Dead Baby Bike race is today. Work fast and don't mingle with the ER interns, they don't know their ass from their esophagus."

We entered the pit were multiple trauma's were being brought in.

"It's like candy but with blood." Christina said excitedly.

I saw a guy with bike spokes sticking out of his side. "Oh, he is mine."

Alex looked towards where I was looking. "No way. I saw him first."

We rushed to the guy's side. We found out his name is Viper.

Karev pulled the spokes out. "Stitch up his wounds. He doesn't need anything else."

I took Viper into the nearest examine room. "You know you could be bleeding internally. I should really run more tests. Just one and you can be out of here in an hour."

"No can do, love. I have to go finish my race."

"You can't win now anyways. Just a CT and you can be gone soon."

"Nope, I am going to cross the finish line and get to the party."

"Fine but you are leaving against medical advice."

Viper signed the right forms. Before he left he grabbed me and kissed me. And left me to ponder the kiss. I heard the door open.

"You don't just get drunk in Vegas and married but you kiss random patients too." I turned to find Mark standing in the room.

"He kissed me." I explained.

"So you weren't trying to cheat on our marriage?"

"Of course not, and as a thank you I will cook dinner tonight."

We walked toward the OR board, and found Derek standing there.

Derek looked up as we approached. "Oh look at the happy couple. You finally made it Mark."

"Well Derek old man, I didn't know you work here."

Derek smiled, "Sloan good job on catching the daughter of Ellis Grey."

Before Mark could say anything else we were joined by a fourth person.

"Ah, Dr. Sloan I hope you find Seattle Grace to your liking. Derek I see you met our new head of plastics."

Derek looked stunned. "You are the new head of plastics? Who would have thought Mark Sloan a head of department?" The chief stared at Derek as he said this. "We worked together in New York." Derek said to clarify things.

"That's great, Seattle Grace is moving up! That is what I like to see." The chief said a little too excited.

"Mark, isn't it ironic we both moved here because of our wives?" Derek brought up coyly.

The Chief looked surprised, "So you are married too Dr. Sloan? I will tell you the same thing I told Dr. Grey here, I need your spouses information for the hospital records." And left to do his Chiefly duties.

Mark turned to me, "What do you think he will do when we hand in each other's name?"

I started to think about it. I know I didn't want anyone to know but the Chief should. He is the Chief after all.

I grabbed Mark's arm. "Come with me."

"Mer, where are we going?" I kept leading him towards the Chief's office. "Mer, what are we doing here?"

"We are going to tell the Chief. No one else. But the chief should know. He is the chief."

Mark looked into my eyes, "Okay, lets tell the chief."

I knocked on the door. "Come in" I heard the Chief say. "Oh Meredith it is good to see you. And Dr. Sloan. Not here to place your resignation I hope."

Mark chuckled, "Not exactly."

I had enough of the small talk, "Dr. Webber, you said you wanted to meet my husband. Here he is. Mark and I are husband and wife."

His eyes got wide. "You two are married?"

I nodded, "It was a um. . . sudden wedding. We thought we should tell you. It didn't feel right trying to keep it from the Chief of surgery. But we would prefer it if no one else knew. I don't want people to think he is favoring me."

The Chief nodded. "Well this is a surprise. But thank you for telling me. I don't want you favoring her Dr. Sloan. And congratulations on your wedding."

I nodded. "Thanks Chief." Mark and I left.

"So we are only allowed to tell the chief? I thought we weren't telling anyone?"

"I did this to save our careers. If the chief found out from someone else that we were married I don't know what would happen. Plus I am not sure where our marriage will go. I know where I want it to go, but marriage is hard work."

He smiled, "I know. I am looking forward to that dinner tonight."

I nodded, "I was hoping you were." My pager started going off, "It's Bailey, I have to go."

Crap, I forgot about dinner. I don't know how to cook. Oh well I guess I am going to have to fake it tonight.

* * *

"Damnit!" I ran cold water over my finger because I burned it again.

"Meredith? Are you in here?" I heard Mark say as he walked through the door.

"Yeah! I am in the kitchen."

"It smells. . . good." Mark said surprised.

I looked at him. "Don't look so shocked. I told you I was cooking you supper. So I am cooking."

Mark looked around at what I was cooking with. "So what is for supper?"

"I am making steak, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, and green beans. Just a simple dinner for us to share. And it's ready!"

I set the food on the dining room table. Mark cut into his stead and bloody red juice started pouring out.

I looked at it stunned. "Oh no. I thought I cooked them long enough. They were dark on the outside." I could feel my eyes start to water.

Mark tried to reassure me. "Hey it's okay. We can put them in the microwave. Here I will have some garlic bread."

I saw him pick up a slice and take a bite. I could see the change in his face.

"Did I make those wrong too? I ran out of garlic salt when I was making the butter mixture so I used taco seasoning salt. They are the same, right? Well almost the same, not the exact same."

Mark started to chuckle. "Have you ever cooked before?"

I shook my head, "No." He started laughing harder. I couldn't take it anymore.

"I can't believe you! I try to cook a nice dinner for you to be a good wife and all you can do is laugh. You ASS!" I stormed out of the kitchen and into the bedroom locking the door behind me.

I heard Mark tap on the door. "Mer are you in there? I am sorry for laughing. It was rude. I know you tried, and some how I will make it up to you. I don't like fighting with you. I want to make this marriage work."

I opened the door and tried to smile. Before I knew it he bent down a kissed me. I couldn't help but to kiss back. I wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked with me into the room. We fell on the bed and continued what he started in the doorway.

At the hospital

"Meredith I need you in the pit. There is a burn victim in bay 3."

I nodded and left Dr. Bailey to go to the pit. I pulled back the curtain to find a guy in his late 20's sitting in the gurney.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is. How have you been Meredith?"

I tried to ignore him. "Clint. This looks like a possible 2nd degree burn." I turned to the nurse beside me, "Page the plastic surgeon on call." Hoping to god it wasn't Mark.

"Ah, come on Merri. You aren't going to talk to me?"

I glared at him, "After what you did Clint I would prefer to never see you again."

"Come one, why don't I take you out for dinner tonight?"

"Can't," I held up my left hand. "I am married."

Just then the curtain was pulled back by no other than Mark. "Meredith I was paged?"

"The patient came in with a possible 2nd degree burn on his left shoulder. I thought I should have the on call plastic surgeon look at him."

"Oh come on Merri, I do have a name."

Mark looked at me with a questioning look. "Do you know him Meredith?"

I stayed silent, "I am Clint. And Merri here is going to dinner with me tonight."

I saw Mark's anger rise. I pulled Mark away from Clint and into an empty on call room.

"Meredith! Who the hell was that? I thought we were supposed to be trying to make our marriage work. And now a strange man shows up saying he is taking you to dinner."

"Mark calm down! Clint is my ex. I was with him during college. He got obsessive and controlling. So I broke up with him. But he still followed me around. Then I went to Europe, came back and went to med school. I never saw him again, well until today. I have no idea why he is in Seattle. And I am not going to dinner with him. You are my husband now. I do want to make this marriage work."

Mark sighed and sat down on the bed. "I guess we still don't know everything about each other. His burn isn't that bad. Clean it and bandage it. I will see you at home." And he left without another word.

I went back to face Clint.

He smirked as I pulled back the curtain. "That was unprofessional leaving a patient alone. However I am not a doctor so I don't really know."

"I am just going to clean your burn and bandage it. Try not to get the bandage wet for a little while." I said to ignore him.

"So was that your boyfriend? Or a boy toy on the side?"

I sighed, "No that was my husband. And that thing you pulled did not help out marriage."

"That pretty boy is your husband. He doesn't seem like your type."

I ignored him again. "Okay you can be discharged. Don't ever come here again. I will never come back to you." And walked away leaving him with his mouth hanging wide open.


I hope you liked it!
