Meredith meets Derek in the scrub room before Mrs. Andrews surgery. She looks over at him and holds out her hand. He knows exactly what she needs and he reaches out unclasps her necklace and slides her rings onto it.

"After surgery we''ll put them right back where they belong" He tells her.

"I know, I just hate having to take them off." Meredith says sounding a little bit upset.

"Well, they might cause a little bot of trouble with your gloves." He says trying to get her to laugh. It kind of works

"Let's go save this woman" Derek says scrubbing in.

"It's a beautiful day to save lives everyone, let's get to work"

With the other interns

George runs down to where all of the other interns are sitting on the gurneys in the basement.

"Where's the fire George" Christina asks sarcastically.

"There's something going on with Meredith and Doctor Shepherd!" he says out of breath.

Christina gasps but tries to cover it up.

"Where in the world did you come up with that, Meredith is married and so is doctor Shepherd." Christina says calmly.

"I heard her talking to the patient form this morning" He explains.

"That's why she got the patient this morning, and why she got so upset at lunch yesterday when I asked about doctor Shepherd because she's already sleeping with him!" Izzy says angrily.

"You guys are going crazy." Christina says. "You're making stuff up, neither of you know for a fact that any of this is happening. Why don't we just talk to Meredith and she can tell you guys that you're being crazy."

"She just went into surgery with doctor Shepherd" George says

'Well then, we'll get her to explain this afterward" Izzy says still upset.

Just then doctor Bailey walks in

"What are all of you fools doing sitting down here? Go help some patients, do your damn jobs!"

All of the interns scatter and Bailey sits down on the gurney

'Damn fools' she thinks having heard everything from around the corner. 'just wait until they find out what's really happening.'

Meredith and Derek are scrubbing out after a successful surgery when Meredith gets a text from Christina. Warning George heard something and they want answers

"Crap" Meredith says reading the text

"What is it Derek asks as he dries his hands.

"Apparently George heard me say something earlier and now they think there's something going on with us and they want answers. I hate having to keep our marriage a secret but I don't think I'm ready to try and explain this to them. They'll never understand, oh god I'd hate me too if I were them." She says without taking a breath.

"Mer, just take a breath okay. You need to breathe." Derek says trying to calm her down.

"Can you help me with my necklace" She says turning around so her back is to him.

"Of course" He says unclasping the necklace and sliding her rings off.

"Turn around" He says and she does "Now give me your hand" she holds up her left hand and he slowly slides her rings back on then lightly kisses her fingers.

"I love you, you know that" She says looking into his eyes

"Seeing as you've been saying it for the past eight years, yes, I know, and I love you too." He says before quickly kissing her.

"Now I have to go see if I can deal with the other interns. Wish me luck." She says heading for the door.

"Just tell them the truth Mer, you're an amazing doctor and you got here on your own. If they can't see that then they're even dumber than I thought." Derek says stopping her before she could leave.

"I still don't know how I got so lucky, thank you Derek. But you really shouldn't be calling interns dumb."

"I think I'm the lucky one here, and if they can't see your talent then it's true. Meet me in my office when you're done your shift?"

"Sounds great, wish me luck!" she says walking out the door.

"You don't need it!" He calls after her
