The next day…

"She didn't come home last night." Izzie told Christina as they and Alex walked into the hospital.

"Because she was doing the McNasty with McSteamy." Christina said plainly. Alex chuckled as they entered the elevator.

"Hold in." Someone called before slipping in.

"Thanks," Meredith sighed.

"So how was McSteamy?" Christina asked with a smirk.

"What?" She turned towards her friends.

"She means in bed, Grey." Alex said before getting a confused face. "Why am I involved in this?"

"Because you love hearing about her love life as much as us." Izzie said before turning her attention back to Meredith.

"I didn't sleep with him." She rolled her eyes turning towards the front of the elevator.

"Then why didn't you come home?" Christina asked causing Meredith to glare at Izzie.

"We were working until late. I didn't want to drive home only to drive back in five hours. I was tired. It was raining so the roads were slick. I slept in an on-call room in my own bed, by myself."

"Uh-huh." Christina said. "That's what they always say."

Meredith rolled her eyes as the doors open and they all got off.

"So did you find her mother?" Izzie asked.

Meredith nodded. "She's been unconscious as Dr. Shepherd's Jane Doe. I have to go talk to my patient. So are we done here?"

She didn't wait for an answer before walking off. She was tired of them assuming she's sleeping with Mark. It ticked her off that they couldn't stay out of her sex life. And she was just tired and didn't feel like putting up with them.

"Hey." A voice came. She turned her head already knowing who it was.

"Hey."

"Are you going to go talk to her?"

"I don't know. I mean I could tell her that her mother will be okay and let, when she wakes up, her mother tell her about her father."

He nodded. "That could work."

"Thank you for all your help."

"Anytime, Grey, Anytime." He smiled at her before walking off as she walked into the locker room. Quickly changing, she headed off to find her interns.

She finally found them at the nurses' station.

"I should not have to spend all this time finding you." She said as she walked up.

They all mumbled some sort of an apology. Meredith sighed before starting to walk.

"Dr. Rogers, go find Dr. Bailey. Dr. Moore, go find Dr. Torrez. Dr. Grey…"

"Dr. Grey?"

Meredith turned at the sound of her name. "Yes, Dr. Shepherd?"

"I need an intern."

"You didn't request one. I have none."

"I could go…"Meredith turned and glared at her. "Dr. Grey." Lexi finished quietly looking to the ground.

"Yes, what about Dr. Grey, Dr. Grey?" Derek smiled at her causing Meredith to roll her eyes.

"Last time I check, Dr. Grey here was still banned from your service for another week, Dr. Shepherd." She answered mimicking his tone.

"I need an intern."

"I need one too and Dr. Grey is my intern. Go ask Dr. Yang or something." Derek sighed and walked off angry. "If you are all standing there when turn around, I will be so mad."

Harrison and Jonathon quickly scattered as Meredith turned.
