Chapter 6: Eventually

Meredith POV

I heard the alarm the next morning. Glancing at the clock I saw it was 5:30 in the morning. I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. With only two hours of sleep, I was dreading work. I sat up trying to not wake up Mark, but found him awake.

"Good morning." He said with a smile.

I smiled back, "Well good morning to you." He sat up and kissed me.

I pulled away, "I have to shower and get ready for work." His face showed disappointment. I smirked, "You could join me if you would like." I told him as I walked into the bathroom. Mark of course followed me.

After our shower I got ready for work. I was just about to leave when I realized that I didn't have a car.

"Mark, you are going to have to take me to my mother's house so I can get my car." I said as I sat down on the bed.

He walked out of the bathroom with just a towel on. "Why don't you just ride with me? We are going to the same place at around the same time."

I glared at him. "Do you really think I want to deal with that after having to deal with my mother about the marriage? No one knows about our marriage yet, and I don't want to stir up trouble."

He shrugged, "Okay it was just a thought."

"So now go put on clothes and we can go, because I don't want to be late."

Mark looked down at himself. "Am I not presentable this way?"

I giggled, "Just put some clothes on. Or I will be late and will have to face the wrath of Bailey."

"Oh we wouldn't want that. No one wants to go up against the wrath of Bailey."

I smiled as he turned around and got dressed. We left the hotel, got in his car, and went back to the place we were both kicked out of last night. Without taking much of a glance at the house, I got in my car and drove to the hospital.

In the parking lot I found Mark waiting by his car. He smiled as I pulled into the spot a few down from him.

"Hello Dr. Grey." He said casually.

"Dr. Sloan, this is a change." I said skeptically.

"I thought I would meet you in the parking lot since you refused to ride in the same car as me."

"There was a reason for that."

I could tell he was going to say something else but was interrupted.

"Um, Meredith can I talk to you for a minute?" I looked and saw George as the owner of the voice that interrupted Mark.

I smiled and nodded, not knowing what this could be about. George was a friend of mine, but he didn't know everything. "Sure George. It was nice chatting Dr. Sloan."

Mark nodded and walked off.

After Mark entered the hospital George turned his attention to me. "Meredith what is going on with you and Dr. Sloan?"

I stared at him shocked. How could he possibly know? I shook off the surprise. "What do you mean George?"

He took a deep breath. "I saw you with him just now in the parking lot. To anyone else that would have looked normal. But I also saw you last night with him in the elevator of the Archfield."

I gasped. How did George see? I looked at him and pulled him with me away from the entrance of the hospital so it would be less likely for someone to over hear us. "How do you know about that George?"

He looked down as he answered, "I was at the Archfeild meeting Callie. I was waiting for the elevator to open so I could go home, but when it did I saw you all over Dr. Sloan. I don't get it Meredith. Aren't you married?"

"Yes George I am married. Just don't tell anyone okay. Promise me you won't tell anyone."

He looked at me with a weird look. "You don't want me to tell anyone that you are cheating on your husband with a married attending?"

So he hadn't put the two together yet. I sighed, "No George, don't tell everyone that Dr. Sloan is my husband."

His eyes got so wide I thought they were going to pop out of his eye sockets. "You… you… you and Dr. Sloan?"

I nodded, "It was a sudden marriage that took place under the influence for both parties involved. The marriage was the product of too much tequila while in Vegas. I am not proud of how I got married but Mark and I both agreed that we would try and make this marriage work."

George nodded, "Why do none of us know?"

I looked at him with a serious face. "How do you think everyone would treat me if they knew I was married to an attending as well as my mother being Ellis Grey?"

"Oh, I see you point. Don't worry Mer, your secret is safe with me."

I nodded, "Thank you George." I smiled, "So drinks tonight at Joe's. I'll buy."

George looked up, "Sure, I am sure Izzie will want to come. And Christina is a regular there."

I smiled, "We could make it an intern party type thing." I glanced at my watch, "We should probably go or we will be even later for work."

I walked into the hospital with George.

Bailey glared at us as we arrived to the group. "Now that Grey and O' Mally have graced us with their presence, we can get started. Karev you are with Sloan, Stevens with Shepherd, Yang with Burke, and since they decided to be late Grey and O' Mally are in the pit. Now Move."

I walked with George to the pit. It was a long shift, with a lot of sutures. I was ready for drinks at Joe's. After I changed I ran into Mark in the hallway, who was still in his scrubs.

"You are off already?" He asked quietly.

I nodded, "Yeah I am going to Joe's." Letting him know I would meet him back at the hotel room later.

I met George at the entrance and we left for Joe's.

George and I sat at the bar and were greeted by Joe.

"Hey George and Meredith." Joe said. I smiled it was just like Cheer's where everybody knows your name.

"Joe I will have tequila." I said.

George looked at me. "Are you sure you don't want a beer? As I understand it when you have too much tequila you get married. I have a girlfriend, and I don't think I am ready to take that step, we need to get to know each other a little more first."

I laughed and smacked George at the same time. "Thanks smart ass."

We were joined by Izzie and Christina.

"Meredith, I didn't think you would be here. I thought you would have plans with the hubby." Izzie smirked as she said this.

"Yeah Mer, when do we get to meet this mysterious husband of yours?" I glared at Christina as she said this.

"Eventually you will." George started laughing at this. Which caused me to shoot daggers at him with my eyes. I was interrupted by the door opening. When I looked I saw Mark walk through the door. We made brief eye contact and he joined Derek at the other end of the bar.

"Oh McSteamy." I heard Christina say.

I looked at her. "What?"

"Dr. Sloan, we call McSteamy. Because of his hotness of course."

I smiled, "Of course. Any other nick names I should be aware of?"

Izzie laughed. "Well Derek is naturally McDreamy."

I nodded, "Naturally."

We laughed. After a few more drinks I departed from my group of interns. Walking across the street to the hospital, I felt a presence by my side. Looking up I saw Mark walking beside me.

"I thought you could use the company as you walk to your car." He wrapped his arm around me as we walked.

"Just my luck I get to walk with McSteamy."

"McSteamy? Is that what you are calling me now?"

I shook my head, "That is what the other interns are calling you."

"Well you are lucky you get to have McSteamy as a husband."

I laughed and wrapped my arms around him. "Why don't I ride with you?"

He looked down at me, "What about people finding out?"

"Screw people finding out, well for tonight."

We stopped by Mark's car. I turned around and kissed him. We got in his car and drove to the hotel.
