Meredith slammed her locker shut, and smiled at the date. Six year anniversary. They had been interns for six years. And now, one year from today, they would be finished. She sipped her coffee, and sat down on the bench, waiting.
It was strange to be the first one there. Cristina was always obsessed with getting there early, as was Callie, which prompted George to be more than on time. Even Alex and Izzie usually beat her.
It was surreal, almost. All of the things that had happened in the last six years. Forget the last six years. It was incredible to think of everything that was going to happen to them. Meredith would stay at Seattle Grace, of that much, she was sure.
Cristina would stay, for as long as Burke stayed, and it didn't look like he was going anywhere soon. George had moved in with Callie, after much deliberation, and the two of them were here to stay as well.
Meredith was less certain about Alex and Izzie. Alex was dying to get into Plastics somewhere. But something gave her comfort that they'd stay. And even if they didn't stay, they wouldn't be too far away. She sighed, and continued her musing.
It was funny how life had this way of just working out for the best.
Cristina opened the locker room and screwed up her face. "How the hell did you beat me here?" she asked. Meredith just laughed.
Bailey stood in front of the operating board with Cristina, Burke, Izzie, Alex and George. She pursed her lips. "O'Malley." She said. "Go with Dr. Burke. Scrub in. Make yourself useful."
"Where the hell is Shepherd?" she muttered under her breath. Meredith joined the group and stood next to Cristina.
Bailey whirled around. "Yang." She barked. "I thought I told you to page Dr. Shepherd."
Cristina gave her a look. "Uh, I did." She said, gesturing next to her.
Bailey rolled her eyes. "Oh hell no, Grey. Shepherd. Meredith." Derek stepped of off the elevator and smiled as he listened to Bailey's words.
"Now, you better figure out what the hell I'm gonna call you to avoid this, because you have three hundred sixty four and a half more days as my intern, and if you think I'm going to have this confusion every time I need an intern or a neuro consult, you're out of your mind."
Derek sauntered over the group. "Problem Dr. Bailey?"
"Dr. Shepherd. I need a neuro consult in 3306." Derek grinned and strolled in the other direction.
Bailey looked at Alex and Izzie who were choking on contained laughter and Meredith and Cristina. She rolled her eyes again. "Shepherd, take your wife with you."
Derek turned back around and held his hand out to Meredith. "Dr. Shepherd," he said, "care to join me for a consult?"
She laughed. "I'd love to Dr. Shepherd."
Bailey rolled her eyes a third time. "I'm getting a headache from all these mushy, loving exchanges that are being passed around."
Derek shook his head at her and pulled Meredith away. "Grey, you better figure out what you'll be called when I need you." Bailey called after them.
She walked down the hallway muttering to herself. "Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Shepherd."
Izzie came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Mr. and Mrs. McDreamy." She corrected.
