Cristina had been pacing around the waiting room for hours. Meredith had been in pretty bad condition.
"Cristina there's been an accident," Owen said softly through the phone.
"What?" Cristina demanded. "But what happened? Who?"
"It's... it's Meredith."
Tears had been running down her cheeks for almost three hours straight and she didn't even know. She had watched a family get bad news about the person they were waiting for. She had watched them greive together.
What if that would happen to Meredith? Then what would she do?
"WHAT?" Cristina nearly screamed.
"Jsut relax," Owen told her. "Everything will be okay?"
"What happened?" Cristina whispered, her voice dissapearing.
"She wa s driving too fast," Owen said.
Cristina's heart nearly stopped.
When a nurse finally walked into the waiting room Cristina stood straight up and ran over to her. The nurse had an expressionaless look on her face. What did that mean?
"How is she?" Cristina begged.
"I have to get to the hospital!" Crisitna gasped.
"I should come pick you up," Owen said.
"No!" Cristina insisted. "I'm leaving now!"
She hung up the phone and raced out of the apartment and down the stairs. She darted through the street, nearly getting hit by a car as she did so.
She didn't allow hjerself to feel anything until she was at the hospital. She secretly thanked the fact that she lived right down the street.
The nurse gave a slight smile as she said, "There were some complications. But she's stable for now."
Cristina let out a breath of relief and dropped into the closest chair. "Thank you," she whispered.
"Izzie!" Alex called, running up to him.
She was in the waiting room with a worried expression glued to her face.
"Alex," she sighed, a tear running down her cheek. "Is she..." Izzie trailed off.
Alex shook his head. "She's stable," he said. "She's still breathing."
Izzie's lips curved into a tiny smile and she jummped into Alex's arms. "Let's get remarried," she blurted out. "I love you and life is short and I don't want to live another minute of not being married to you. I don't care if it's a big wedding or a small one but I-"
Izzie could feel Alex chuckleing and she stopped mid-sentence, realizing she was babbling.
"Of course Iz," he murmured. "I don't want to spend another minute not being married to you either."
Izzie giggled and leaned back to kiss him.
"You want to go see Meredith?" Alex asked.
Derek stood next to Meredith, stroking her hand with his. "Meredith," he whispered. "I don't know if you can here me, but if you can..." he trailed off, tears filling his eyes. "I am so sorry," he said. "I am so so sorry. I got shot. It was my fault. I decided that we couldn't save his wife and I got half the hospital shot, and I scared you half to death. I scared you into having a miscarriage. If you hadn't had that miscarriage then you would still be pregnant and none of this would have happened. You probably can't here me... but-
"It's not your fault," a voice suddenly said form behind him.
Derek turned around. "Miranda," he said, nodding his head towards her and wiping a tear from his face. "How longwer eyou standing there?"
"Long enough," Bailey responded. "I heard what you said. You thought that no one had heard you. But I did. You need to stop blaming yourself. That woman was dead and any doctor would have said so. No matter what doctor that man had taken her to, she would have been dead and he would have done the same thing, and someone else would be carryinjg around a pile of guilt that doesn't belong to them."
Derek shook his head slowly. Bailey checke Meredith's vitals before turning to leave.
"Miranda," Derek stopped her. "Thank you."
Baile smiled to herself. "Don't sweat it. And by the way, I know you hate being cheif."
"How did you know?" Derek sighed.
"I'm Dr. Bailey. I know everything."
Bailey turned and left the room, leaving Derek with a smile on his face.
It wasn't long before there was a soft knock on the door. "How is she?" Mark asked.
Lexie walked in right behind him. Her face was covered in drying tears. "Hey," she whispered.
They took a seat next to Meredith's bed.
"She's stable," Derek answered.
Suddenly Cristina came bursting into the room with Owen in tow. Izzie and Alex were'nt far behind.
"Alright Mer. Wake up," Cristina said, once she was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Crisitina she can't hear you," Owen said.
"Yes she can. She's just being lazy. Come on Meredith," Cristina pleaded.
"I guess it's a twisted sister thing," Owen whispered.
"Alright Meredith, I'm not joking around anymore! You gave us all a scare, now wake the hell up."
"Cristina-" Derek started but was cut off when they all heard a loud groan.
"Meredith," Lexie whispered.
Izzie squeazed Alex's hand and smiled. The whole room went silent.
"Meredith?" Derek questioned. "Mer? Can you hear me?"
Meredith let out another soft moan and her eyes fluttered slightly.
"Come on Mer. Open your eyes," Izzie whispered.
"I'm right here," Derek said. "I'm not going anywhere."
And with that, Meredith opened her eyes and they searched the room until they found Derek's face. "Hey," she mummbled. "I didn't die."
Derek chuckled, remembering that he had said the same thing to Meredith when he had first woken up after being shot.
"She always listens to me," Cristina said.
"So that's what that annoying sound was?" Meredith groaned, and Alex burst into laughter.
"So you're up," a voice said, stepping into the room.
"Teddy," Owen greeted.
"How are you feeling Meredith?" Teddy asked.
"Like I drove into a tree," Meredith murmured.
Cristina laughed and wiped tears from her eyes. Izzie rolled her eyes to herself. Sam old Meredith.
"I bet so," Teddy chuckled. "Well I have some... news."
Everyone tensed up at that. "What news?" Derek asked.
Meredith slowly turned her face to Teddy.
"It's good news," Teddy clarified. "We ran some tests. Everything came back fine and you should have a full recovery."
Everyone sighed in relief and Derek sqeezed Meredith's hand.
"But... one thing did come back possitive," Teddy said.
"What's that?" Derek asked, nervously.
Teddy smiled to herself. "Meredith, you're pregnant."
Izzie's eyes went wide and Alex had to hold her up and keep her steady. Crisitna and Owen exchanged a look. Lexie grabbed Mark's hand and sqeezed it.
Derek and MEredith looked at each other, shocked.
"But... how?" Meredith questioned.
"Have you... you know... since the miscarriage?" Alex asked.
"Once," Derek responded.
Teddy laughed nervously. "Well um... congradulations guys. I um... I'll give you some time to talk."
With that she turned and left the room, leaving Meredith and Derek with their good news.
