"I think I'm going crazy" Val said after another half and hour in the elevator. The tech guy said it would take about 3 to 4 hours to fix the problem.
Mark- you're already crazy.
Val- I'm having trouble coming up with a comeback so shut up.
Meredith- I'm bored.
Mark- join the club.
Meredith- let's play Truth or Dare.
Val, Mark, and Derek- NO!
Meredith- jeez ok relax.
Val- truth or dare always leads to bad things.
Mark- tell me about it.
Meredith- I'm confused.
Derek- last time we played truth or dare Val and Mark ended up dating, falling in love, then breaking up and it ended with Val getting married 6 months later.
Val- thanks for that wonderful story Derek. And for the record it was 7 months.
Derek threw his hands up in the air.
Derek- whatever
Meredith- you two dated seriously?
Val- let's not get into that story please.
Mark- why? See Meredith we were dating and Val here dumped me out of the blue and then started dating that jackass who ended up abusing her.
Val- MARK!!!
Derek- he abused you?
Val- NOT NOW Derek
Derek- VAL!
Val- thanks Mark, really thanks.
Before anyone had the chance to say anything else the doors opened to freedom.

Val successfully avoided Mark for the rest of the day. Her and Meredith delivered healthy twins and she was getting ready to go home when she saw Mark. She turned to go the other way but he noticed her and went after her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into an on-call room.

Mark- I'm sorry.

Val- one thing Mark I tell you one thing and you have to go and tell my brother.

Mark- I'm sorry it just slipped out. Meredith started the whole why did you break up thing and it just slipped out.

Val- Do you want to know the real reason I dumped you Mark. We were getting in too deep I loved you too much and it scared me so I married him and it was the biggest mistake of my life.

She turned to go but Mark grabbed her hand spun her around and their lips met in a passionate kiss. He backed her up against the wall and put his arms in her hair enjoying the feel of her again. Val put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer if that was possible.

Both were oblivious to the outside world and didn't notice that someone walked into the room until they heard a cough. They quickly pulled apart and saw Dr. Bailey standing there.

Val put her arms down and Mark backed up.

Val- Doctor Bailey.

Bailey- your brother is looking for you.

Val gave her a little smile and quickly walked out of the room.

Bailey gave Mark a dirty look.

Bailey- what is it with you and the Sheppard women?

Val walked to the nurses station and saw Derek there still in his scrubs.

Derek- I'm sorry I can't do dinner tonight I have a surgery.

Val- It's fine.

Derek- about what Mark said in the elevator.

Val- not tonight Derek please.

Derek- fine, Where are you staying.

Val- that fancy hotel whatever it's called(where mark is staying)

Derek- you could stay with me.

Val- you live in a ten foot trailer I think I'll pass. I'll see you tomorrow.

Derek- bye.

Val stepped into the elevator at the hotel she was deep in thought and didn't notice someone come in.

"we've got to stop meeting like this" she looked up and saw Mark standing there.
