Chapter 4
We all ask for signs. We all ask for an indication on whether or not to go through with something. We all ask if what we are about to do is right… Most of the time… We just don't know what to do so we rely on signs to lead us… Sometimes the signs lead you to the right way… And sometimes… Not.
She was pregnant.
Meredith Grey was pregnant.
He was going to be a father.
Mark Sloan was going to be a father.
Mark knew he was going to have to do a leap of faith.
Meredith surviving the crash was miracle enough but… The baby surviving the crash was more than a miracle and a sign.
Christina Yang leaving her cell phone on the counter was a sign.
Mark answering the call was an indication that he was meant to fly to New York.
Mark never believed in signs but right now, it was the only thing that was making him stay and giving him the courage to build up to his growing lie.
He just came back from Tiffany's and bought an engagement ring with a rock the size of Jupiter. He knew he needed to make things more realistic so he's intent on making everything go smoothly… Until Meredith wakes up, that is.
He swung by the police station next to retrieve Meredith's things, or at least what was left of them. He had a hard time convincing the police detective to release Meredith's things to him but the call from Dr. Poon was Mark's ticket to his claim. Mark headed back to the hospital that afternoon to visit his 'fiancée'.
"Dr. Sloan," Dr. Hall, Meredith's neurosurgeon, greeted him.
"Any change?" Mark placed Meredith's purse on the chair and walked towards the bed.
"Time is all we need, Dr. Sloan, we're just waiting for her to wake up."
"If she does wake up… There won't be any complications, right?"
"Well, we can't really say as of the moment but because of the damage on her temporal lobe… The worse case scenario I could think of right now is a bad case of memory loss," Dr. Hall informed him. "But we're not really sure on that. She could just wake up and have all her memory… Or she could not…"
"Amnesia."
"That's just the worst case scenario, Dr. Sloan."
Mark knew it was not good of him to wish that Meredith's case was of the worst.
But he did wish for it to be the worst.
Because again, it would be a sign for him. A sign for him to leap further into chance and faith.
Signs lead us… But you have to be careful what sign you follow…Cos' you never know what'll it lead you into...

So... Amnesia... Could be. Could be not.
