"She wasn't crazy Bailey. I told her she hit her head. I thought she did... but then I remembered."
"Remember? Remember what?"
"I saw a... vision of... something. It's hard to explain. But the point is, I didn't believe her. And now she might not wake up."
"I don't know what exactly you're talking about but what I do know is that she loves you very much Derek. Have some faith is the girl. Tell her you're here for her. As a doctor, I'm not supposed to say that she will definately wake up but... I believe in her. Meredith Grey is one of the strongest people I know. All you can do right now is just sit here and hold her hand. She'll wake up."
The first thing that Meredith felt was the pressure on her hand and the throbbing in her head.
She forced all of her energy into her hand and wiggled her fingers, feeling whatever was on her hand grab it tighter.
"Mer?" a voice said and it was so close to her ear. "Mer, it's me. Can you hear me? It's Derek."
Meredith forced one eye open and felt the light burn it. She groaned and shut her eyes.
"Meredith?"
"Derek?" she mummbled back, her voice barely a whisper.
She asked the first question that came to hre mind and forced it out before the nerves could get the best of her. "Baby?"
"What?" Derek questioned. "What did you say?"
"Did... the baby... make it?" she got out.
Derek squeezed her hand and whispered, "There were complications."
No! No! No!
"But the baby made it," Derek finished.
Meredith opened her eyes again and they locked on Derek's blurry face. "Thank God," she said, blinking back tears.
Derek's eyes took on an uncomfortable look. "Mer," Derek started. "I am so sorry for not believeing you. You tried to tell me. You tried to tell me in that world and in this one."
"You chose Addison," Meredith said sadly.
"I know. I didn't understand and I chose wrong. Please forgive me," Derek begged.
Meredith forced a smile. "I could never stay mad at you," she assured him. "So you remember everything?"
Derek smirked. "First time we woke up in your living room. First date. We got to relive it."
"So you remember getting hit by the car?" Meredith asked, locking eyes with him.
Derek nodded slowly. "I guess having you standing over me the way you were... I felt like I was the luckiest guy in the world. I felt safe. I recognized that feeling. I remembered you."
A single tear rolled down Meredith's cheek. "Just please tell me that you don't have anymore whishes."
Meredith smiled a bit. "Just one," she said. "I wish that I oculd keep you forever."
Derek smiled. "Wish granted," he chuckled and leaned down to kiss her.
As they slowly pulled away, Merediht noticed something behind Derek's back. "Cristina?" she said.
"Hey," Cristina said. "I came to see if you woke up yet and... well you did. Hey McDreamy, you mind if I have a moment alone with your wife?"
Derek sighed deeply and smirked, kissing Meredith one more time. "I'll be back," he assured her.
Meredith watched him walk out of the door and then turned her attention to Cristina. "You had me freaking out," Cristina said. "I thought I freaking lost you."
"I'm sorry," Meredith said. "But I'm alive."
Cristina dropped into the chair next to Meredith. "Whatever happened to when we were interns and everything was so easy?" Cristina groaned.
Meredith took a deep breath. "Nothign was easy back then," she reminded her. "Always getting yelled at. Having to make friends and enemies. Trying to keep the men you loved who were also attendings."
"Yeah, but O'Malley was alive. Izzie was here. Etcetera. Etcetera."
"Just trust me," Meredith said. "It's better now. Whatever happened was meant to happen."
Cristina shrugged. "Whatever," she sighed. "I'm just happy to have you awake."
"I'm happy to be awake," Meredith agreed, running her fingers over her belly. "And my baby made it."
Cristina nodded. "McBaby made it through. I hope he has his hair."
"Me too," Meredith said, sounding hopeful.
"You know what would be cool?" Cristina started.
Meredith raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"If we had more control around here. If we could run this hospital. Can you imagine?"
"Yes I suppose that would be fun."
"It definately would," Cristina said. "Yeah. you know what I wish?"
Meredith opened her mouth to protest but she was too late as Crisitna finished her sentence and said, "I wish I could be the cheif of surgery."
