Thanks for the reviews!

Meredith stomped down the stairs back into the large hall. George walked over.

'You ok Mere?'

'Yeah thanks George,' Meredith sat down with the other inters and downed another three shots. Derek walked over and lifted her bag.

'Let's get out off here' was all that Derek said as he whispered in her ear. Meredith turned and slid the chair out. Squeezing Izzie's hand, Meredith smiled and walked on in front of Derek. George pulled Derek aside.

'Dr Shepherd…Derek, ehh… please don't hurt Meredith again. She's precious to me and when she was lying on the floor it was killing me inside and it was because she loved you so much, please don't hurt her again,'

'George, don't worry, I love her too much to hurt her again,'

George shook Derek's hand before letting him go. Derek smiled to himself; he was glad that Meredith had special friends like George who looked out for her. Derek's smile fell from his face when he seen Meredith. She was lying on the ground, holding her stomach as Addison kicked her repeatedly. Derek ran over and threw Addison against the stairs. Meredith started coughing, but she couldn't stop. Blood was coming out of her head. Derek made Meredith lie flat down on the floor. George walked out and spotted Addison sitting on the stairs, shaking. Turning round and looking on the ground, George was speechless at what he saw.

'George, go and get Burke for me,' George stumbled and ran back in. Looking around for Preston, he spotted him sitting holding hands with Christina. Running over he began pulling him away from Christina.

'George…what the hell are you doing?'

'Derek…Meredith…on the floor…she needs you,' Preston followed George out and ran over to Meredith.

'Her stomach…look at her stomach,' Derek had undone the ribbon on the front of her corset. Her tummy was going purple with bruises. Burke pressed down on her stomach at which Meredith let out a scream.

'I need to get her up to the OR…lift her up,' Derek placed his hands under Meredith's knees and under her arm, Carrying her up three flights of stairs. George walked over to Addison and picked her up.

'You fucking bitch,' Dragging Addison up to the OR, he put her in a room and left her there. Bailey had found out what had happened and had followed the boys up. Looking at Meredith's stomach, she put her hand over her mouth.

'God almighty,' Burke was standing looking down on Meredith, listening to her chest.

'I need to get her operated on. I dunno what Addison was doing but she has given Meredith some beating.' Bailey turned on her heels and headed into Addison's room.

'Miranda, how are you?' And with that Baileys hand left her side and knocked Addison off the bed.

'One of the best god damn surgeons is in there because you got angry and kicked the shit out of her, She could have sever internal bleeding, never mind the other damage you could of done,' Addison sat on the floor and broke down.

'Don't even think your gonna get sympathy off me, and if anything happens to her, let it be on your head,' Miranda left the room to see one of her best inters being wheeled down to operating room three. Izzie and Christina followed by Alex came running along the corridor.

'Where is she?'

'Being taken along to theatre now,' Christina was putting her hair up in a bun.

'Where's Addison?'

'In that room there,' Bailey pointed to the end room. Christina marched over and threw the door open.

'You can't let her be happy, or him. Just because your life is screwed up you thought you'd screw up hers,' Christina lifted her hand but was pulled back by Mark.

'GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!' Mark pushed Christina away from Addison.

'Do you have a clue what she's done?' Mark looked confused.

'Meredith is in surgery because that bitch kicked her stomach to the point that it's purple!' Mark turned to Addison and led her out the room, leaving Christina on her own.

The four inters waited outside the operating theatre for their friend and 'person' to be ok. Two hours passed when Derek came out with Meredith, she was still unconscious.

'It went well,' was all that he could say. Sitting in the room, and checking her vitals every ten minutes Derek watched as the love of his life lay, motionless on the bed. Holding her hand, and whispering in her ear, Derek turned sharply when he felt her hand move. Standing up so he was looking down on her, he smiled.

'Hey, welcome back…'

'How long…'

'About six hours,'

'Where's Addison?'

'I don't know. Apparently Mark came and got her, just in time as well. Christina was about to knock the crap out of her,'

Meredith smiled and started coughing again. Putting the oxygen mask on her face Derek moved her hair out of her face. Sitting back down he felt his eyes getting heavy and before long he was fast asleep.

Meredith pressed the call button and a familiar face came in.

'Can I sit up please?' Meredith whispered, not wanting to wake Derek.

'Sure,' Pulling Meredith forward, the nurse lifted her bed up and laid Meredith back down.

'Can you get Dr Shepherd a blanket for me?'

'No bother petal, try and not move too much,' Bringing in a blue blanket, she placed it carefully over Derek.

'Thanks,'

'If you need anything or are in pain, give us a beep,' the nurse left Meredith sitting watching Derek, smiling at the fact that when he slept he looked just as handsome when he was awake. Looking at his left hand, she noticed that there was something missing, something big, but it made her world seem so much better than what it was before.
