Derek was standing outside the driver's room unable to move as Burke passed his way. He knew whose room it was, and he could easily guess what was on Derek's mind. He put his hand on Der's shoulder and they went to his office. They sat down on the couch. Derek started t talk: "I am so sad!"
Burke said: "I know. I know you were really looking forward to that child. I did not even know Cristina was pregnant until she lost our baby. But I felt so sad for that, too. And it hurt me so much that she did not talk to me at first. I know how you feel. But I think that she needs to realize this for herself first. I think women really need that. Even if it is hard for you, and I know it is, be there and wait for her to let you in. That is the only thing that helps. Do not force her to talk to you. I know the two of you will make it. You are a team. And you really did not deserve this after all that mess that you had to go through. Life is unfair sometimes, I know. But you still have each other. And I believe, that if two people in this hospital can get through something like that together, these two people have to be you! When you need someone to talk, please do not hesitate to come over. I can understand what you are going through right now! Maybe you should go now and look how she is doing. I know Crsitna is with her, but maybe she needs you…"
Derek looked at Burke with tears in his eyes and thanked him. Then he got up and went over to Mers room. Burke remained seated for some more seconds before he left, too. Derek was such a great person.
Derek went over to Mers room, when he came in, he saw Cristina holding a crying Meredith. He stood in the door and was unsure to stay or leave them there for a while. But then Cristina looked at him and winked him to come over. When he came over to the bed, she slowly got up, and put Mer into his arms. He started to cry, too, as he held her and lay down next to her.
Cristina went over to the door to leave, Derek looked at her thankful. Cristina nodded and shut the door. Mer and Der lay on the bed and cried together. They both felt a little bit relieved by that. They still had a long way to go, but they now felt that they would be able to feel alive again. Derek was so thankful he got his girl back.
