Hi :)
Three parts in one day!
Meredith was listening what her colleagues and friends said about her husband's medical statuss. She was sitting next to him in a comfortable chair and was finally holding his hand. Amelia sat next to her and was also listening to people in this room. Luke was nowhere to be found.
Xander, Simone and William were explaining Derek's medical history and what they have done to him.
"We couldn't find a reason why he isn't waking up. We have made all examinations what we could do. Every week we did a new MRT and CT scan to his brain. There are brain activity, his internal organs are fine and his bones have healed." Xander said and gave Owen Derek's chart.
"His heart is perfecly fine, brain also. At first we thought that he could be brain dead, but then we found brain activity." Said William. "There are no tumours, brain bleeds or brain damages. There are no reason in his brain for him no to wake up."
"Then why he isn't waking up?" Asked Amelia. "Maybe we don't see something."
"We were thinking the same thing for the first two months. We did every exam more than once and they were all the same." Xander answered.
"How long he was with you?" Asked Owen.
"Eight months."
"And why you didn't bring him here faster?" Richard asked. He stood next to Miranda, who was standing next to Amelia.
"We didn't know his identity. We tried to look in missing people list, tried to use police, but it wasn't successful." Simone answered. She was looking at Meredith.
"Because he was already pronounced dead." She answered and stood up. "Do you know were he was the four months before you got him?"
"In some small medical centre outside Seattle. I don't remember it's name."
Meredith went to the window and stand next to it. She saw parking lot from here and park next to it. She saw houses and shops, she saw people walking around and cars driving.
"Then why no one recognized him before?" Asked Miranda.
"Because the man, who had died in the accident, was mistakenly recognized as Derek Shepherd. He had black hair and blue eyes, but his face was too burnt and he was next to your husband's car, so the police officers thought that he was your husband." Luke said. He had come in into the room, when everyone was talking and no one saw him. He stood next to Atlanta General doctor's and looked at Meredith, who was looking outside.
She was confused, angry and concerned. She was angry at herself that she recognized that man as Derek. She was confused, because there were too many things happening around her and they all needed her attention. Starting from her husband and ending with her job. In seven days her maternity leave is going to be over. She wasn't ready to leave her kids or Derek. She wanted to be with him every day and watch him get better.
Meredith had money. She had her money, her husband's money, what she got when he died, insurance money from Derek's death, montly incomes from her tenants, who lived in her mother's old house, and money, what her mother had left her. She had money, what the president had paid her after Derek's death. Something like compensation. Not to mention money from hospital, what she got every month as a salary for owning this hospital. She had more money than 99% on this hospital.
She wasn't proud to be rich, but at the same time it was an advantage, because she could pay for her husband's hospital expenses, buy thing for her children and dogs and she didn't need to worry that one day she would have to work in three jobs to maintain her family.
Meredith was a rich woman and there were no one in this hospital, who knew about it except Amelia. She was her best friend and person, she knew everyhing. Even Alex didn't know. And she wanted to keep it in a secret. People knew that she had money, but they didn't know how much.
"Where is Koracick, Bailey?" Owen asked.
"Koracick? As Tom Koracick?" Asked Amelia. She had stood up and was facing Bailey. "Seriously, Bailey?"
"He was the only one on this side of the coutry." She answered and looked at Meredith, who was still looking outside. She had hear Koracick name, she didn't like him, but there was no other choice. He was one of the best, but not the best. He will never be Derek.
"Amelia, he is our only choice. You know there are no other choices." Meredith said and looked at her sister-in-law. She saw anger in her eyes. "Derek, can't treat himself."
"I didn't say that." She defended herself. Meredith knew Amelia. She didn't want him to treat her brother, because she was looking for someone, who was like Derek. There was no one better than Derek on this world. He was the best.
"There are no one greater than Derek. You are trying to look for someone, who could reach your standarts – be Derek. You are looking for someone, who had done the impossible, but at the same time you know, that there are no one like Derek. No one will be able to replace Derek." Meredith said and came closer to the group of doctors. She took her husband's hand and squeezed it. "We will do everything to get him back."
"We won't let him die, Shepherd." Richard said and put hand on Amelia's shoulder. "Derek is one of us and we won't let him die. Even if we will have to overcome the mountains or swim all the oceans, we will bring him back."
"Dr. Bailey?" Asked the intern, who stood in the doorway of room. He was tall, had black hair and blue eyes, but Meredith didn't like him. There was something that made her to hate him. Maybe the fact that he was one big douchebag and an arrogant man. Meredith knew that he was sleeping with dr. Pierce and that made this intern to think that he was powerful.
Also she remembers the day after her daughter's birth, when he had flirted with her and offered inappropriate things.
"Yes, Deluca."
"Dr. Koracick is here." He answered.
"Send him up and go do my patient charts." Bailey answered.
But Deluca didn't move.
"What now, Deluca?"
"I was thinking – "
"No." Meredith said and everyone looked at her. "He is not going to work on my husband's case."
"You heard the lady, Deluca. Now go and do my charts or I will fire you!" Shouted Bailey. One last look at Meredith and he was gone.
"I hate that man." Meredith said and looked at Miranda. "If I will see him in the VIP floor, I will fire him. Am I clear?"
"Dr. Shepherd, I think that you are taking this too personal. Dr. Deluca is a smart intern – " Maggie tried to defend him, but Meredith cut her off.
"I am not making this personal, dr. Pierce. If you don't want to work on this case, you are free to go away. I won't let him near my husband or my family."
"I don't think that you can fire him. You are not the chief here."
"She can. Dr. Pierce, I recommend you to stay silent if you don't want to lose your job." Miranda answered and looked at both woman. Meredith was standing next to Derek with her hands crossed over her chest, while Maggie was standing on the other side.
Maggie didn't say anything. She stayed silent for the rest of the talk, where doctors talked about Derek and how to wake him up.
