PART THREE

My husband was standing in front of the hospital with a big smile on his face. When he saw me getting out of the cab, Derek took my hand and helped me to get out. We thanked the cab driver for a ride, and watched how the car disappeared around the corner.

"I missed you this morning." Derek said, and pressed his lips to mine. It was a short kiss, and we had to end it before it lead to something more.

"I missed you too." I leaned into his embrace, and we started walking inside the hospital hand in hand. Doctors and medical staff smiled at us, and we smiled in return. MerDer – that was what they were calling us. We were the most popular doctor couple in this hospital, and most loved too. There were some jealous stares from women, because I was married to Derek, but they disappeared fast. "How are the new interns?"

"Awful." We decided to take the stairs, because it would give us more time together and we would be alone most of the time. "They managed to make Mark angry, and for the past twenty minuted I had to listen to him complaining, because Addison has a day off."

I wanted to laugh, but did my best to keep silent. Mark and Derek have been best friends for a long time, and nothing can break them apart. Mark is the head of plastic surgery, and his jokes and remarks most of the time are stupid. It is very rare to see Mark angry, because he is always cheerful and funny, but when someone makes him angry, it's better to stay away from him.

Addison is his wife who also happens to be the head of OB/GYN and neonatal surgery. Coming from rich family, she can act like a bitch sometimes and say mean things, but under her hard facade she is kind and amazing woman that managed to change Mark Sloan. Before meeting Addison in college, he used to sleep around a lot. Nothing could stop him, but then she came, and he became whipped. Unfortunately, they are unable to have their own children, but that doesn't stop them from being happy.

"They don't know what is coming."

"I would say that I feel sorry for them, but I don't." Derek said and opened the doors of third floor where his office was. "It's their fault."

"Wait until they make Bailey angry." Miranda Bailey is a third year resident with a nickname the Nazi. The short woman didn't care if she spoke with an intern or an attending. Bailey wasn't afraid to declare her opinion, and opposite other's. And if someone make her angry – you better run. It's hundred times worse than with Mark.

"They already did that."

"No way! Already? They shift started only two hours ago!" I said, and stepped into my husband's office. Derek and I had talked and decided that I would change in his office too, since I am his wife. But I think the real reason is that he doesn't want any horny attendings to watch his wife changing. My husband is a jealous man, always makes sure that everybody knows that I am his, only his. That is one of the reasons why we don't hide our relationship in work.

"And on top of that one of the Bailey's interns has a crush on me."

"I guess, I will have to show them that you are very taken." I pulled him closer by his scrub top and connected our lips.

I was standing at the nurse station and waiting for my resident. Derek had gone to see his patients, I was left on my own. I had met Mark on my way here, we exchanged a short 'hello' and separated. He looked beyond pissed, and I felt bad for the residents that were in his service today.

"Did you see that Shepherd guy? He is so hot." I heard someone talking about my husband, and from the way she talked I knew that she was an intern. I didn't turn around, because I wanted to hear their conversation.

"He has a ring on his finger."

"And? That doesn't mean that we can't have fun." I looked up from a chart in my hands, and saw two nurses looking at me with hidden smile. The new interns didn't know that we were able to hear everything that they were talking about MY husband. I replied them with the same smile, and we continued to listen to their conversation.

"Sleeping with an attending is prohibited, Izzie!" So the woman's name is Izzie. I turned my head a little and looked at the unlucky interns. The man that had just spoken was the shortest of four of them. He looked like an innocent kid that always tried to stay out of the trouble. Dark haired Asian woman that was standing next to him looking very annoyed, like she wanted to punch both of them. There was another guy in the group, but he was busy flirting with a nurse named Olivia, and the last of them was a tall woman who I assumed wanted to sleep with my husband. She had blonde hair and dark eyes, and she looked like she was a model.

"Nobody will know." She tried to assure him. As if feeling my eyes on them, the shortest man looked at me and froze in the spot. His blue eyes were big, and he suddenly lost his ability to talk. The Asian woman
straightened her back and tried to ignore my gaze, and the intern whose name was Izzie looked down. They knew that they had been caught.

I returned my attention to the chart in front of me, and continued to wait for my resident. Two minuted later came Dr. Bailey and stood next to me. "Sorry about being late, but I had to redo the job that my interns did." I was one of the luckiest person here that held Bailey's respect. She was nice to me, and if I needed her help she would help me with a smile. Maybe the reason is that I was her resident when she was an intern, but she said – that didn't mean anything.

"I don't mind, Dr. Bailey. I would say that it was quite entertaining listening to some interns talking about my husband and wanting to sleep with him, without knowing that I am near." I whispered the last part and gave her my smile. "I guess you are on my service today."

She took my patient charts from the nurse table, and we turned around. In a few short seconds her interns stood in front of us with a scared expression, and they were the same ones that talked about my husband.

"Dr. Bailey – "

"Don't say anything, Karev. I had to redo your mistakes a few minutes ago, and I didn't like that, so I recommend you to stay quiet. These are the patient files that you will have to carry for the next forty minutes, and then return at this nurse station. If I hear any sound while we are doing rounds, I will make you do rectal exams for the next two weeks. Do I make myself clear?"

Her interns nodded, and she gave them charts. "And before I introduce you to the surgeon that is standing next to me, I would like to teach you one important thing. Don't talk about sleeping with attendings to get something or just simply have sex, because you never know who is listening." All the time I stood beside Bailey with neutral expression, ignoring the fact that I wanted to smile.

"This is Dr. Meredith Shepherd, one of the neurosurgeons in this hospital and also Dr. Derek Shepherd's wife."
