Back to Derek and Meredith!!!! (( There will be a lot more of them in the next xhapter though ;) ))

Meredith's surgery took longer than usual, Derek taking no chances on messing up. By the time he was done, and he left the OR, the hospital had settled down. Surgery's were done, and most of the passengers were even on their way home. As Derek glanced down the hall, he saw Bailey approaching Izzie, and now Cristina too sitting on the wall. She did not look happy, and he knew why. But he also knew how upset Izzie and Cristina were. He ran down the hall, passed the two inters, catching Bailey before she apprached them.

"Leave them be," Derek said in a calm, soft voice. He still had not yet recovered from seeing Meredith how she was.

"Shepherd, if you knew what was best for you, you would step out of my way," Bailey demanded in a higher voice. This raised the heads of Izzie and Cristina. They were almost curious as to what Derek would do.

Surprising the three of them, Derek gripped Bailey's arm tightly with one hand before she could leave. He now spoke in a low, but menacing voice, "No Bailey!" He raised his voice even higer than hers, "Leave them be! Trust me, do not, I repeat, do Not gives these girls any shit! Right now, you have absolutely no idea what is going on with them, and I do. And I say that you have no right to scold, punish, nag, or abuse these girls, do I make myself clear?!" He finished his sentence strong and loud. He had gotten so fired and angry that his face had turned red. He still gripped her arm tightly, as she looked up at him. Bailey wasn't sure what had happened, but it was definitely important. She had never seen Derek so angry, especially in the hospital.

"Yes sir," She whispered quietly, walking in the other direction.

Derek placed his hands on his hips as he looked around for a few seconds. Izzie and Cristina continued to look at him, suprised to see such an angry side of Dr. Derek Shepherd. He turned their way, looking straight forward, rather than down at the two sitting on the wall. With his left hand, he swept his face, lifting it higher as he took off his bandana as his right index finger and thumb massaged his temples for a few seconds. He placed his hands back on his hips, this time with the bandana in hand, and took a deep breath, closing his eyes, looking at the ceiling as a tear ran down his cheek. He wiped it away quickly, even though both Izzie and Cristina had seen it. "She should be fine," he managed to choke out, walking away quickly down the hall toward her room.

They both took a deep breath, Izzie hanging her head in between her legs, and Cristina's hitting the wall. George was walking slowly down the hall to their direction. His head was hung low, and he collapsed next to Cristina, "How long have you known?" He asked.

"We saw her come in," Cristina said, fighing back the tears that were thretening to come pouring down. She leaned her head on George's shoulder, hoping that it would surpress her tears. George layed his head back onto hers, as Izzie leaned on Cristina's other shoulder. George felt his shoulder getting a little warmer, and damp. Izzie brushed through Cristina's hari with her hand, shushing her softly.

Derek wandered around the hospital for hours, trying to avoid Meredith's room. He was too afraid that a controversey would start. But it was late, and he was dying to see how she was doing, it had been almost a whole day since the crash. He finally couldn't take it any longer, and he quickly headed to her room. As he arrived, he noticed that her door was slighlty ajar. He hoped that no one else was in there. He pushed the door slowly, it creaking lightly as he did. Her lights were off, and she lay peacefully in her bed.

"Oh Meredith," He whispered so lightly, barely audible, as he entered the room.

-----------------

It was late, a little past midnight, and Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd was wandering the halls, looking for her 'lost' husband. As she glaced down one hall, she spotted the group of interns sitting against the wall. She knew - by now, everybody knew, even Bailey, who haden't been seen since her small encounter with Derek. Well, Addison knew that Meredith was ok, and she was going to be ok, so she figured it would be ok to question them about her husband's whereabouts. She approached them slowly, and cautiously.

"I heard about what happened," She said softly to the interns as she stopped in front of them, "I am so sorry" she whispered, kneeling down to their level.

Nothing but George's eyes moved. They shifted up to look at her, sadly. "She's going to be ok." George whispered back.

"I know," Addison nodded smiling kindly.

"I know, because Dr. Shepherd told us so." He said, ignoring her comment.

Now Addison knew - George have given her the answer without her having to even ask. He was with Meredith, "Yeah, he told me too," she lied, standing up. Derek couldn't stay at the hospital all night -- she would go pick him up now, and he could come back early in the morning. "Thank you," Addison said, walking off, trying to find her husband.

Sorry so short! The next update I will try to make longer, no?
