Meredith, Christina and Derek scrubbed out. Their patient was wheeled back to recovery and Meredith wandered with the other two to the coffee cart.
"Is that REO SPEEDWAY?" Christina asked when she heard Meredith's phone ringing.\\Derek noticed Meredith's eyes light up.
"I've got to take this." She told them.
Derek nodded.
Meredith flipped open her phone.
"Hey honey" she answered.
Christina raised her eyebrows.
Meredith smiled and walked away.
"It was the best feeling ever standing over the brain." She spoke.
"I'm glad it went well. How did it go?"
"The patient survived" she said with a smile.

Christina stood with Derek. "So what's the go?" she asked, nodding towards Meredith.
"It's private." He replied with a shrug.
Derek looked at his sisters face. It had lit up at the sound of her phone. He knew who she was talking to and that she was describing her first time in the O.R.
"I love you and I miss you." He heard her say.
Derek looked back at Christina.
"Curiosity killed the cat Yang."

"I love you too Mer, and I miss you."
"You have the early shift tomorrow?" Meredith asked.
"Yeah, I start at 6:30"
"I'll give you a wakeup call." She promised.
"That will be great sweetie."
"Just returning the favour." She smirked.
"Hmmm" came the voice.
"Honey, you're tired. I'll let you go." Meredith sighed.
"No wait." The voice came back.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Sweetie... I'm lying here in our bed and I'm snuggled up to your pillow. Can you talk to me until I fall asleep?"
"Sure"
Meredith began talking about her day. Talking about her Mom and a conversation that she had with Derek. It hadn't taken long before she could hear the heavy breathing. Meredith closed off her phone and made her way back over to Derek and Christina.
"You were a while." He commented.
"Problems sleeping" she explained.
Christina looked confused.
Derek nodded with understanding. "I got you a Mocha latte." He held up a cup to her.
"Have I told you that your my favourite?" she asked.
Derek reached for her hand. "You ok?"
Meredith nodded. "I'm fine"
Christina looked between the two of them confused.
"I'm going to finish this then I'm going to find an on call room to have a nap."
Derek released her hand. "Catch some z's"
Meredith nodded and walked away.
