Sorry for the delay and lack of responding to reviews. was being really weird and wouldn't let me respond to anything, which sucked. As for this update I'm not completely satisfied with it but I hope you guys like it.

Enjoy!

When Bailey and Teddy had come in and told Meredith that she was ready to be moved into a normal room, Meredith couldn't have been happier as it meant her body was starting to heal; albeit slowly. But Meredith didn't care she was just relieved that she was being moved into a normal room.

"There are rules Grey." Bailey told her as they prepared her for the switch.

"Rules?" Meredith asked confused

"Yes, rules." Teddy replied

"First off you are recovering and as much as I know you want to heal fast you have to remember that you're body went through a lot…"

"I know this Dr. Bailey." Meredith said interrupting her.

"Was I finished, no…" Bailey said, "Your body went through a lot and though you might think you're strong you aren't. You are to stay in bed until you start physical therapy."

"What if I have to use the washroom?" Meredith asked

"Then you ask either Derek or a nurse for assistance, though you'll probably just have Derek help you." Looking at him as he nodded in agreement.

"Am I allowed to walk around?"

"No."

"Am I allowed to leave to room?"

"No."

"What if I use a wheelchair?"

"Meredith I know you want to be able to have freedom but for the time being it's really best that you just relax and let your body heal properly. Once we've reevaluated and you've begun your PT then we'll see." Teddy told her as they wheeled her into the elevator Derek at her side.

"So I'm basically stuck in my room on bed rest." Meredith said

"Until further notice, yes."

"Okay I understand that I really do but why can't Derek wheel me outside for a few minutes a day. I don't have to do anything I'll sit the entire time." Meredith said to them. She wanted a bit of freedom.

"Absolutely not and if I hear or see that you've tried to do so there will be consequences."

"What kind of consequences?" Meredith asked nervously and curiously

"You don't need to worry about them since you won't be trying anything stupid." Bailey told her as they proceeded to move Meredith into a normal bed.

"Meredith Dr. Bailey is right. You don't want to do anything to jeopardize your recovery; any little mishap could delay your PT." Derek told her in concern

"I'm not stupid, I would never do anything to delay my recovery but being locked up in a hospital room…it sucks." Meredith told them

"It may suck but won't be saying that when you're in pain and wishing you hadn't disobeyed" Dr. Bailey tells her

Meredith doesn't say anything as she's settled in, deep down she knows that they're right and she doesn't want to do anything to delay her recovery but being couped up in a hospital room would drive her crazy.

"Just think of it this way." Derek tells her "You rest and recuperate, let your body do the proper healing it needs and start your PT and you'll be able to go out side. The more you rest, the faster your body gets better and the better you'll feel." He explains to her, because he knows that Meredith wants to get better and won't risk her recovery.

"Listen to your husband Grey, he's right." Bailey says "You heal and recover properly, start your PT and then we'll talk about field trips."

"Okay, fine." Meredith said agreeing, "I won't go outside…"

"Or out of this room or leave your bed until you are allowed to." Bailey tells her

"Or out of this room or leave my bed until I'm allowed to." Meredith repeats "But washroom stuff I'm allowed to do right?"

"With Derek's assistance yes." Teddy tells her "Although it's going to be a few days before you can shower. I want your incisions to heal more before they get wet."

"Wait." Meredith says "I'm not allowed to shower for a few days."

"I'm just taking precautions, I'll have a nurse bring in some items for a sponge bath."

"A sponge bath?" Meredith asks grimly

"Oh, come on Mer, it could be fun." Derek tells her in a fun and flirty tone

"And with that we're going to leave you two along." Teddy says

"Don't make me loose your trust Grey." Bailey says to her as she leaves the room

"So…?" Derek says to her sitting on the edge of her bed.

"I don't know what sucks more. Being locked up in a hospital room or not being able to shower." Meredith said

"Mer, I know this is hard for you but it's really for the best." Derek told her

"I know…I know."

"Just think of all the fun we'll have with the sponge bath." Derek said to her smiling as he leaned in to kiss her as she giggled; maybe there was just a tiny exception.
