Later that morning Meredith and Mark get to the hospital and run into Cristina walking in.
Cris:

Mer:

Cris:

Mark:
I'm not going to hurt her Cris
Cris:
good cause if you do, I will kill you and make it look like an
accident
Mark just smiles at Cristina.
Mark: I know
They all get in the elevator and go upstairs.
Meredith is in surgery when her pager goes off.
Nurse:
Dr. Grey its yours,
Mer:
who is it?
Nurse:
the chief
Meredith looks up
Bailey: go see what he wants Meredith. Meredith leaves the OR and scrubs out. She finds Mark in the hallway, pacing.
Mer:
hey what's up?
Mark:
Meredith I don't know how to tell you this..
Mer:
what is your secret wife here?
Mark looks at her and she can see tears in his eyes.
Mer:
I was kidding, Mark what's going on
Mark:
Cristina
Mer:
what about her
Mark:
Cristina, was in a patients room, when her boyfriend came in, he
attacked Cristina.
Mer:
Mark just say it
Mark:
she was shot. She's in surgery now, but it doesn't look good
Meredith.
Meredith looks at Mark, the room starts to spin, Meredith can feel herself slipping, Mark catches her before she falls.
Mark: Meredith!
Meredith is completely silent with tears running down her cheeks. Mark cradles her against his chest.
Mark:
I'm here,
Mer:
take me to the OR
Mark:
you can't go in there
Meredith takes a deep breath and stands up. Mark is still holding her
Mer: I love you Mark. Cristina is my person, and I have to be there for her. Even if I am outside the OR, but I can't not be there
Mark brushes her hair out her eyes.
Mark: okay
He takes her hand and leads her to OR2. Meredith stands at the door. She puts her hand on the door. Izzie, George, and Alex come walking up. Meredith turns to them
Izzie comes forward and hugs her.
Izz:
she will survive this
Geo:
you always say that
Izz:
and she will, she is a fighter
Alex hugs Meredith. Meredith gives them a watery smile
Mer: she will survive
Mark pulls her back into his arms, Meredith clings to him. The other sit down, leaving a place in the middle for Meredith, she joins them and rests her head on Mark's shoulder.
