Meredith and her interns walked into Mia's room followed by Christina, her interns, Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Torres and Dr. Bailey. Meredith was not in the mood, she was tired, she had just found out about a sister she never knew she had and sick of her mum calling her but she put on a happy face for Mia and Sadie. As they walked into the room Mia stuck her tongue so Meredith stuck her tongue back out at her causing all the interns to look at them and whisper among themselves.
"Who's presenting?" asked Derek retrieving the chart from Callie who had just finished writing in it.
"Three year old Amelia Harris, admitted into hospital last night. She had intracranial bleeding which Dr. Shepherd drained during surgery," began Dr. Wayne but was cut off as they heard shouting coming from somewhere.
"Mummy Calvin's just gone to change Ash," Kelsey said pushing her way through all of the people.
"He let you walk here on your own?" asked Sadie.
"No, he was outside the door but he couldn't get in because of all the people." She laughed as she turned around to point at the doctors in the room, as she did she saw Meredith.
"Auntie Death!" she exclaimed. Everyone watched as the little girl ran up to Meredith and was picked up.
"Hiya Kels."
"Auntie?" murmured a few of the interns.
"Yes, Auntie, I have godchildren. Three of them in fact," she had snapped. She hadn't meant to but it felt so good to finally release some of her anger. Kelsey giggle as Meredith snapped at the interns and Sadie smirked. "I'll see you later Kels, I'll take you for some ice cream or something," she said calmly as she put her down on the floor.
"Okay," Kelsey said as she watched Meredith walk out of the room. Everyone remained silent for a minute before Derek broke the silence.
"Dr. Grey continue please." As soon as Sadie mentioned the name Grey she looked up.
"Amelia also broke her left arm in the fall which Dr. Torres put in a pot on to help it fix. The pot should be able to come off in five to six weeks." While Lexie was talking Sadie was just shaking her head. She felt so sorry for her friend, she had a sister she never knew about. At first Sadie hoped that they just had the same surname but as she looked at her more she could see a small resemblance between the two of them.
"Miss Harris are you okay?" asked Derek noticing that she was looking to the floor shaking her head. She stood up and sat Kelsey on the bed as had been sat on her knee.
"Meredith," she said. Everyone looked confused. "Does anyone know where she'll be?" They all shook their heads.
"No, I'm sorry. Why?"
"Kels, wait here for Calvin okay? Don't leave this room unless you're with him." Kels nodded her head and walked towards the door.
"Why?" asked Derek again. She sighed and turned around.
"Think about it Dr. Shepherd." She left the room leaving everyone confused.

Derek was walking past the supply closet when he heard muffled crying from inside. He entered the room and immediately saw Meredith reduced to tears on the floor.
"Meredith? Mer what's up?" he asked. Meredith looked up at the person who had just walked into the closet. He sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her making her feel safer. He wanted to make things better for her. She wiped away the tears from her eyes as she leaned into his chest. "I bet my things worse than your thing," Derek joked trying to get her to talk. She raised her eyebrows at him telling him to go on. "All my family are coming down to Seattle to check on me because I haven't called in months." Meredith looked at him.
"You really thought you could beat me with that?" He shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe, what's yours then? Maybe I could help." She laughed at him, how could he help her? He rubbed her back and looked at her. "Please?"
"Er...let's see... my goddaughter nearly died on me." This time it was Derek to raise his eyebrows. "Fine. I just met a sister I never knew I had. I found out that my dad started a new family, he didn't care about me. He just forgot."
"Oh," said Derek not knowing how to respond to her confession instead he pulled her closer to him.
"I... I... I don't... I don't know... What... To do... anymore," she sobbed sitting up and starting to hyperventilate.
"Mer, sshh it'll be okay. Just take deep breaths for me," he said while reaching up for a paper bag and handing it to her. "Deep breaths" She took the bag and used it to help get her breathing back to normal again. She leaned back into Derek's chest and let her eyes slowly close. "I love you," he whispered looking down at her to see that she was fast asleep. He sighed. He'd wanted to say that for days and when he finally did she had been asleep.
Bailey had been stood across from the supply closet for about fifteen minutes. She had seen Derek walk into the room and not come back out. Not knowing what to expect she slowly walked into the closet.
"Dr. Shepherd, what the hell are you doing in here? There are patients out there who need your help." She looked at Derek who had Meredith in his arms still asleep.
"Bailey?" he asked as she sat down next to them.
"Is she okay?" asked Bailey softly. Derek shrugged his shoulders.
"I dunno, she was crying when I found her in here and then she started hyperventilating. I think everything finally hit her about Mia and then she found out that she and Dr. Grey are sisters. She doesn't know how to handle it." Bailey nodded.
"I think she needs time off to think. She needs people to help her but she won't let anyone. She needs her family. And sleep."
"Yeah, that's why I haven't woken her yet. I wanted to let her sleep for a while." After a few minutes in silence Meredith began to wake up.
"How long?" she asked at she sat up rubbing her eyes.
"About twenty minutes."
"Crap," she said standing up.
"Whoa, where do you think you're going?" asked Bailey who was also standing up followed by Derek.
"Work, I need to..." she said heading towards the door but Derek grabbed her wrist before she could leave.
"Meredith, we think you need to get some sleep. Take some time off so you can think." She shook her head. "Please."
"I need... I need to work," she said trying to release from Derek's grip but having no luck.
"Meredith please," he begged. She shook her head still trying to get away from Derek's grip.
"I may be short but you're pretty tiny and I have Dr. Shepherd on my side who can easily pick you up. We could easily carry you to a bed and cuff you to it so that you can't escape," joked Bailey. Meredith sighed and let herself be pulled back by Derek.
"I'll sleep, okay. Not now but later. I promise, I'll sleep," she said giving up. Derek sighed as he hugged her. He hoped that she would keep her promise but knew that she probably wouldn't. He let her go and watched as she walked out of the room. They both sighed and followed her out.
********************
Meredith walked into Mia's room after her talk with Derek and Bailey. She sat down next to Sadie and sighed.
"What's up babe?" Sadie asked.
"Nothing, where is everyone?" Sadie looked at her friend, it was obvious that she was lying but she went with it to make her happy.
"Calvin took the kids down to get some food." Meredith nodded and looked at Mia who was asleep on the bed.
"How's she doing?"
"She's doing okay, the doctor..." She got cut off as she heard the sound of the flat-line fill the room. Meredith got up and hit the code blue button. She looked into her eyes to see that her left eye was dilated.
"Shit there's another bleed." She closed her eyes trying to think while people yelled around her.
"Dr. Grey what do you want to do? Dr. Grey!" yelled one of the nurse's. She just stared at Mia who still didn't have a heartbeat. She grabbed the paddles from one of the nurse's and charged to 300. When that didn't work she charged again.
"Charged to 360," she yelled. Sadie stood in the corner as she watched her baby girl die in front of her. Mia's heartbeat didn't come back.
"Charge again," she yelled. After the second shock at 360 there was still no change. Tears were streaming down her face as Derek and Bailey walked into the room.
"Meredith?" asked Derek looking at what was happening, all the nurse's in the room where standing around waiting.
"Charge again," she yelled. No one did anything, everyone knew that there was no hope in bringing back Mia. Even Meredith knew that but she still didn't want to give up, it was her goddaughter. "Charge again," she yelled again fighting back tears.
"Meredith," said Derek walking over to her. He tried to take away the paddles from her but she pulled back.
"Charge again," she said more weakly. "Please," she begged.
"Time of death, 4:37 pm." Meredith dropped the paddles and sank to her knees as she heard the time of death. Sadie stood in the corner shocked by what she had heard. Meredith got to her feet and both women ran out of the room in opposite directions.
