All of the interns are at the hospital early. They are already standing in the hallway with scrubs on, stethoscopes around the necks, and pagers on their hips. All they needed was Bailey. Queue Bailey who is walking down the hall with Derek. The group rolls their eyes, just perfect the last person any of them wanted to see. She is surprised to see all of her interns ready to go. "Good morning, interns, glad to see everyone is finally ready on time for a change. I will get right to the assignments. O'Malley, you're with Shepherd."
George speaks up before she can continue, "Can I have the pit or something, Dr. Bailey?"
"You're requesting the pit?" she asks very confused. George shakes his head yes. "Very well then, Izzie, you are with Dr. Shepherd."
"Um actually Dr. Bailey, can I run labs today instead?" Izzie chimes in.
Bailey looks up at Derek and back at the interns. "What the hell is going on here? Yang, you're with Dr. Shepherd."
"I'd rather be on scut or discharges or in the morgue, Dr. Bailey."
At this point Bailey has had enough, she turns to Derek and looks up at him, "I don't know what you did, but you better fix it." She slaps him in the arm and walks away. The interns don't even look at him as they all walk away in separate directions.
Derek yells down the hall to Meredith, "I'm sorry I missed dinner!" She is already out of sight.
"Is that the proper way you apologize to someone for ruining what was supposed to be the perfect night?" Mark says as he comes up from behind Derek. Derek rolls his eyes to the familiar voice of his ex-best friend. Derek turns around to face him and puts on a fake smile. "Save it, I know what happened last night. Allison told me everything."
"That girl has such a big mouth."
"It's not exactly like she can hide it. I know that after sex look she gets, who do you think invented it? You better stop messing around, Derek, the wrong people are going to find out sooner or later and it's not going to be pretty."
"You're one to talk mister man whore."
Mark can't help but smile at the hypocritical words that had just been spoken. "You've been having a lot more sex than I have lately, Derek, so I would tread lightly with using those words about anyone but yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Do you know something that I don't?" Mark doesn't say another word and he leaves Derek standing alone in the hallway. He yells down the hall for an answer, "What do you know?!" Still nothing as Mark gets onto an elevator, the doors close.
Cristina and Izzie sneak into a supply closet that is right by Richard and Allison's office, the supply closet with all of the office supplies. "What are we going to use?" Izzie says.
"Post it notes, lots and lots of post it notes and sharpies!" Cristina says as she grabs handfuls of packages of post it notes. Izzie shoves sharpie markers in her pockets.
"This skank is going to regret she even came to Seattle," Izzie says with a maniacal smile on her face. They peak their heads out of the closet to make sure no one is coming and they sneak back out of the closet. They rush out and down the hallway. They go into a gallery so they could work on their post it notes without interruption.
George is down in the OR with Addison. Every once in a while they exchange glances. Addison can tell that something is on George's mind and it starts to eat away at her. She wants to ask him what is wrong but not in front of all these people. Not with Izzie and Cristina in the gallery watching their every move. Addison clears her throat and mumbles, "What's on your mind?"
"We shouldn't talk about it here," he mumbles back.
"George, your mind is not on the surgery."
"Dr. Montgomery, you really don't want me to talk about this here."
Cristina and Izzie notice something going on in the OR. "Turn on the audio, something is going on down there," Cristina says. Izzie switches the button so they could hear what's going on.
Addison raises her mumble to a whisper, "Dr. O'Malley!"
George whispers in her ear, "Meredith caught Derek with Allison." Addison's eyes go wide and she just looks at him. "I warned you."
Back up in the gallery Cristina and Izzie are amazed at what they just witnessed. "Did he seriously just tell her?" Cristina says.
"I think he did."
"When the hell did they become so friendly?" Cristina starts to become suspicious of George's behavior. "Do you think?...No, it couldn't be"
"Couldn't be what?"
"Do you think she is his new sex toy?" Cristina curls her lip at the thought of them two together. She can't even believe those thoughts crossed her mind. "Ew forget I said anything, that's disgusting."
"Yeah those two together would never happen." They both look at each other back down at the OR, back at each other. "No, Cristina, no! Let's just drop it and get these post it notes filled out before she comes in."
Derek knows he messed up big time. It may be something he will never be able to repair. That dinner was supposed to be the new beginning. It was to make up for all the times he spent with Allison instead of Meredith. Meredith won't even look at him let alone speak to him. All the other interns just look at him in disgust any time he comes across them. He needs to fix this, he cannot work this way. Who can help him? Who can he turn to? There is no one but her. Derek's thoughts are interrupted by the ding of the elevator and the doors open. There stands Meredith. She reluctantly steps into the elevator and turns her back to him. This time she isn't wanting a flirty smell of her hair, or a make out session in between floors, she just wishes he never existed.
"Meredith I messed up," was all he can say, it was all he could think about, the only words that came to mind. She doesn't say anything back. She continues to look forward as tears rolled down her cheeks. She wants to yell at him. She wants to tell him how much she has hurt him. She wishes she could slap him in the face for what he has done to her because that is what it feels like to her. "Meredith please say something." No not this time Derek Shepherd, you aren't getting a reaction out of Meredith Grey. You aren't getting anything anymore from Meredith Grey. The doors open and Meredith steps off leaving Derek alone once more to his thoughts.
Meredith walks over to her friends who are now at the nurse's station picking up charts to run labs. Cristina walks towards her to meet her half way and walks back with her. "Listen, Mer, I know McDreamy is like pond scum or whatever but I don't know how much longer I can handle discharges and labs."
"You guys don't have to do this for me. I really do appreciate it but I will fight this battle on my own," Meredith says as she picks up a pile of charts, "We are here to learn how to become doctors, we will just have to push the personal stuff aside."
"Do you need me to kick his ass, Mer, because I would," Alex says. There is no joking in his tone.
"That's very sweet of you, Alex, but no I don't want you to beat him up. Let's just get through the day so I can go home and drink tonight."
George gets paged and he walks away from the group. Izzie watches him to make sure he is far enough away so they can't hear him. "So, Mer, is George sleeping with Addison?" Cristina nudges Izzie. "I'm sorry, I can't get it out of my head now."
"What did you hear?" Meredith asked, trying not to give too much away just in case they really don't know anything.
"They've been acting friendly lately. He's always getting paged. It's just unusual."
"I don't know anything," Meredith lies. She has to lie. She promised to keep it a secret until they were ready to tell everyone. And is it really anyone else's business anyway? Everyone else would throw it way out of proportion anyway. Just another intern sleeping with their boss. Meredith sighs, looks at the first chart in her pile of ten, "This is good news, Mr. Alkey finally can go home today."
"Wait, you have a patient with the last name Alkey?" Cristina asks as she grabs the chart, she laughs, "And he has liver cancer? This has to be some cruel joke."
"Cancer normally isn't, Cristina," Meredith says as she grabs the chart back, "He's a nice man, so what if he has an ironic last name? So what if he lied to me time and time again? So what if I caught him in bed with McSkank!" As she says "McSkank" she slams her fist down on the desk.
"Ok Meredith, we need to focus. You're getting two very different things mixed up. I'll go with you so you don't call poor Mr. Alkey a man whore," Cristina says as she puts her arm around Meredith's shoulders and they walk away.
Derek is sitting in his office at his computer when Mark walks in. He closes the door behind him and the sound of the door closes causes Derek to look up from his work. Derek rolls his eyes to see Mark standing there in front of him with his arms crossed over his chest. "You don't deserve her, man," Mark starts off saying, "Just end it and let the poor girl finally move on."
"This has nothing to do with you, Mark. Mind your own business," Derek says as he leans back on his chair and he too crosses his arms across his chest.
"It is very much my business when you continually sleep with the mother of my son. You have no idea how much of my business this has become." Mark doesn't wait for a response he leaves the office and slams the door behind him.
Meredith and Cristina are walking out of Mr. Alkey's room. Meredith thanks Cristina for being there for her and they walk in opposite directions. Just as Cristina is turning around she sees George leave an on call room, she inches closer. Much to her surprise or maybe not so surprise Addison soon follows him. Cristina's mouth goes wide as Addison adjusts her skirt and slinks away trying to be unseen. Cristina rushes off to find Izzie.
"Iz, I saw them. I saw them leave an on call room," she whispers as she makes her way over to Izzie.
"Saw who doing what and why are we whispering?" Izzie whispers back.
"Come on Izzie, I know you're blonde but you can't be that dumb. George and Addison leaving an on call room together. Do the math!!!" Cristina says using her regular tone, "Come on, we have to follow them."
They are following George down the hallways of the hospital. They duck behind food carts and into doorways every time George would turn around or even stop. George walks into a patient's room on the maternity floor so they hide behind a food cart to look into the room. Cristina whispers, "This is it, this is her territory. They've got to make a move soon."
"What are you two doing?" Alex says from behind them. They both are startled and jump back. Izzie pulls Alex behind the cart and puts her hand over his mouth so they're not seen or heard.
"Shut it, Evil Spawn, you're going to ruin it," Cristina says and she looks over a plate of mashed potatoes to make sure George didn't hear anything. Addison comes walking passed them and they duck lower. She walks into the room where George is. "Bingo."
"Excuse me, uh doctors, I need this cart," a man says, obviously he is food services wanting to deliver dinner.
"We need this cart, come back in 5 minutes," Cristina says as she gets a firm grip on the cart.
"I need it now, Dr. Yang."
Izzie steps in, "We will deliver your food for you if you just go away." Alex and Cristina both give Izzie an evil look. The guy finds that to be suitable and walks away.
"Way to go, Iz, now I'll never get a surgery today," Cristina says as their focus goes back on the patient's room. Addison and George walk out together. They stop right in front of the food cart. Izzie, Alex, and Cristina duck even lower down. Addison and George look around to make sure no one is around, they don't see anyone.
"No, George," Addison says, "I have learned my lesson, we are never going to your place again. That was too risky. We are going to my place and that's final." Alex mouths the words "oh my god." Cristina and Izzie mouth back, "I know." Addison continues, "You better be ready for round 5, I am in a frisky mood tonight."
"I'll be ready," George says. Addison and George both walk away leaving the three interns stunned. After Addison and George are both out of site they walk out from behind the food cart.
"Dude, did that just happen?" Alex said still dumbfounded from what he just witnessed.
"It so did. Holy crap." Alex and Cristina start to walk away, "Hey guys, where are you going? We have food to deliver."
"That's all you, big mouth!" Cristina says from down the hallway.
"Alex!" Izzie yells. Alex pretends he can't hear her and looks down at his pager pretending he's getting paged and steps onto the elevator. Izzie grunts in disgust and pushes the cart to start delivering the food.
Allison has Josh with her as she tries to sneak into the hospital undetected. It is her day off since she is having furniture delivered but she feels like she needs to warn Derek about Meredith. Josh isn't making it easy for her not to be seen, he keeps making noises to all the women they come across. "It must be from hanging around Mark too much," Allison thinks to herself. She almost makes it to the elevator when Richard spots her.
"Allison, I told you to stay home today," he screams across the lobby. Allison quickly looks right and then left to make sure none of Meredith's friends are around to hear her name being broadcasted all over the hospital, luckily none of them are in sight. Richard walks over to her and joins her on the elevator.
"Don't worry, I am just stopping by to talk to Derek. I am not even thinking about work, I am thinking about the bed that needs to be delivered today and hoping it's not being delivered as I stand here."
"Good," he says then turns to Josh, "he is getting so big."
"I know, before we know it he'll be womanizing just like this father," Allison jokes and Richard laughs. The elevator doors open and Allison steps off. She is almost home free, she can see Derek's office from where she stands. She can't believe she is going to make it through the whole hospital without being seen. It must be her lucky day. She can even see that Derek is sitting at his desk and nobody is in there with him, things couldn't be more perfect.
Out of nowhere Addison steps in front of Allison. Allison almost walks into her. "Don't even think about it, Ally," Addison says as she puts her hand on Allison's shoulder to stop her.
"Come on, Addison, stop fooling around."
"I am not fooling around. Let him face the consequences of his actions. He deserves what he gets."
"You know?"
"The whole hospital knows, Allison, he's the only one that doesn't know."
"Which is all the more reason I should tell him," she says as she starts to walk forward again. Addison stands in her way once more.
"Allison Crystal Montgomery, don't you dare."
Allison gets furious that Addison had the nerve to use her full name and in public no less. What is it any of Addison's business that she tells Derek anyway? She should butt out of other people's business. "What does it matter to you anyway? Shouldn't you be off in an on call room with some young boy toy?"
Addison panics, "What? How did you know?"
Allison lets out a laugh, "Besides your reaction? The fact that you have a hickey the size of Staten Island on your neck. I mean seriously, Addy, who gets hickeys anymore?" Addison puts her hand to her neck and is embarrassed. "Other side, sweet sister of mine." Addison puts her hand on the other side of her neck and walks away. Allison rolls her eyes and says, "Finally." As soon as she starts walking towards Derek's office again the group of interns gets off the elevator. Allison ducks behind a corner before being seen. They practically park themselves right by Derek's office and it doesn't seem like they're going away any time soon so Allison thinks it's best to just go back home and wait for the rest of her furniture.
She hadn't done it in quite a while, have to go to Joe's that is. Meredith sits by herself at the bar already with several shot glasses in front of her on the bar. "Keep 'em coming, Joe," she manages to say, already slurring her words. He wants to tell her she's had enough but he wouldn't dare. He made that mistake once and almost wound up wearing the whole bottle of tequila. For nobody else but Meredith would he hand over a whole bottle but she looked like she needed it, so he did. Joe regrets his decision reminding himself that he needs to be stronger than that, especially for her.
Meredith hoped that the bottle in front of her will solve all of her problems. She wishes it will make her forget forever the pain she felt at that moment, the moment she looked into his trailer and saw what she saw. She can't bare the mental image of it, she takes another swig of the bottle. No need for shot glasses when you have the whole bottle to yourself, she thinks to herself. She feels a presence next to her as she finishes the rest of the bottle in one more gulp. Meredith looks to the bar stool next to her to see Mark sitting down and ordering just a water. This water isn't for him but for her, for Meredith. He worries about her.
"Meredith, drink this water and then I am going to take you home," he says as he pushes the glass in front of her. She smiles at him as she does as he says and sips on the straw.
"How long did you know about them?" she asks as she puts her hand on his arm to steady herself. He holds his arms out as she stumbles forward into him. She looks up at him and into his eyes and he looks down into hers. They stand there and gaze into each other's eyes for a moment until they are broken out of it by Joe clearing his throat.
"Not long, I only knew her side of it and she didn't tell me much." Which was a lie, he knew everything and every detail of when they would sneak off together. He didn't have the heart to damage her further, he feels it is better to just not tell her. He links his arm with hers as he helps her out of the bar and into his car. The car ride is silent. Mark is focused on the road and Meredith is staring out the window into the rain. Mark pulls up to her house and helps her to the door. She opens the door and begins to walk in and he stops.
"Why don't you come in?" she asks as she takes off her jacket and throws it onto the floor, missing the coat rack all together.
"I shouldn't, Meredith." He wanted to so badly but for once he wanted to come out the better person. He didn't want to take advantage, he didn't want to betray his friend, she deserved better than that and frankly so does he. He doesn't want to always be that guy that the women turn to when their boyfriend messes up, he wants to be the boyfriend for once. Despite Mark's refusal, Meredith grabs his hand and pulls him inside. He stands in the door way and looks around with his eyes. "Nice place, I should get going."
"Let's go upstairs to my room." She is ruthless, no matter how much he rejects her she will get what she wants this time. She owes it to herself to do this thing she has wanted to do for so long now. She begins to walk up the stairs and stops a few steps up and waits for Mark to follow, he does. They walk into the bedroom and Meredith kicks off her shoes. She walks into the bathroom to change into something more fitting for the occasion, which isn't much.
"This doesn't feel right." Who is he trying to kid? There has nothing in his whole life that has felt more right than this moment. He slowly closes the bedroom door behind him. He isn't sure what he should do so he continues to stand right by the door and waits for her return back into the bedroom. She appears in just her bra and panties and sits down on the bed. Mark doesn't budge from where he is standing.
"You have been chasing me ever since you got here. All you do is say sexual innuendos when we talk. You're always undressing me with your eyes. I am here right now half naked practically begging you to have your way with me and all you can do is stand there with your mouth open, you are something else Mark Sloan," she says as she stands up and starts to walk towards him, by the time she is finished talking she is right in front of him and has her body pushed up against his. He puts his hands up to caress her arms, but he thinks twice about it and puts them back down at his side. "Come on do it, you know you want to." Now she's taunting him, teasing him as she gently cups his package with her hand and she can feel that he is already hard. He can't stand it any longer, he cups both hands on her ass as he lifts her off the ground. He kisses her hard as he props her up against the wall. One hand is still holding her up as his other hand rips his shirt off.
Meredith becomes more aroused when she sees how strong he is. He slowly lowers her down as he unbuckles his belt with one hand and starts to play with her clit with the other. She wraps her arms around him as his pants slowly fall to the floor. Both of his hands now free to do as he wishes with her. His boxers still on he teases her with his hard cock as he rubs it against her clit. She wants more, she needs more, she can't stand the teasing anymore. She moans with pleasure as she pulls his boxers off. Mark takes one finger and slowly removes her moist panties. She runs her hands all over his body exploring every area. Meredith's hands explore his chest as he once again cups her ass and lifts her up.
This time he places her slowly onto his cock, teasing himself just as much as it's teasing her. She has no control of how fast or slow she thrusts, she tries to sit down harder and he just holds her up. She begins to get frustrated and he just smiles. "You ready?" he whispers into her ear as he kisses her neck. She couldn't answer or make a sound or breathe for that matter before he thrusts hard into her. She let's out a scream that she had never done before. It was pleasure like she had never felt before, she wants more, she needs more, she is getting more as he thrusts harder and deeper into her.
Mark cannot believe how great it feels to finally be inside her. She moves like no other woman has moved. She knows what she's doing when it comes to making a man feel good. He needs more, he craves to be even deeper inside her if that's even possible. He carries her over to the bed and slowly lowers her down as he continues thrusting.
Derek reluctantly pulls up to her house and parks outside. He sees a familiar car parked where he normally parks. He can feel his blood begin to boil already. He needs to know what is going on even though he is pretty sure of what he will find when he walks into the house. Images of that night he came home and Mark and Addison were in bed together keep running through his mind and he slowly opens the front door. He looks to the floor to see Meredith's jacket laying there. He sighs as he makes his way up the stairs. He can already hear her from the hallway, and she isn't crying that's for sure. Derek stands outside Meredith's closed bedroom door working up the courage to walk in and no doubtingly see Mark screwing her. He finally pushes the door open and sees Meredith riding him. "You son of a bitch!" He yells as he makes his way towards the bed. Meredith rolls off Mark and covers up with a blanket. "Don't cover up, it's nothing I haven't seen before."
"Derek, you don't deserve her" Mark says as he backs up. Derek doesn't stop walking towards Mark with fury in his eyes. "Don't do anything stupid, ok, we can talk this over."
"Fuck you! Nothing needs to get talked over. You are in bed with my girlfriend. You just can't leave anything of mine alone, can you? You always have to take them all away from me"
"Don't you dare act like the victim here," Meredith screams from the bed, "I saw you with her in your trailer, I SAW, DEREK! You don't even have the decency to tell me to my face that you don't want to be with me, I had to find out that way."
"You saw?" he says as he looks at her with sadness in his eyes.
"I went to see what was taking you so long. We had a dinner planned, remember? I can't even look at you right now, just go." Meredith yells as she points to the door.
Derek turns to leave but turns back around to face Mark, who now has his boxers back on. "I am glad to see you are here once again, Mark, to pick up my leftovers." Derek turns back around to leave. Mark can't hold himself back any longer. How dare he talk to Meredith or Addison that way. He had no right. He is going to pay. Mark rushes over to Derek, spins him around by the arm and punches him in the face. Derek seems unfazed by it as he swings back. Meredith screams for them to stop fighting but they both aren't listening. At this point George has come out of his room and walks into Meredith's room. He sneaks passed the squabble and sits on the bed with Meredith.
"Are you ok, Mer?" George asks as he hands her his robe. She slips it on. Mark and Derek wrestle each other to the ground, each of them exchanging punches. Izzie walks into the room to see what all the commotion is about. Mark pushes Derek off of him, Derek stumbles back and slams right into Izzie. She falls hard through the door and lands face down in the hallway. "You idiots, she's pregnant!" George yells as he rushes to see if Izzie is ok, Meredith follows soon after. George looks up at Meredith, "We have to get her to the hospital."
