"Well Dr. Grey. It looks like you should be able to go home by the end of the week."

"But the week just started." She whined.

"Meredith, I'm speaking as your doctor, not your husband so that whining of yours isn't going to work."

"Well, when you see my husband, tell him that I'm going to whine for some fast food all week."

"Ha ha. I'm glad your fall hasn't impaired your humor." Derek laughed. "Izzie is going to pick up Samantha and take her to McDonalds so I'll tell her to pick you up something."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Now; back into Doctor Mode… The police are going to be here soon to talk about what happened."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously… Mer, they have to find Finn."

"I know, but I don't remember anything from that night."

"Meredith, you need to try."

"Ok… Seriously. You cannot keep jumping from being my doctor to being my husband. It's quite annoying."

"I'm sorry ok?" But, speaking as both your doctor and you husband, I want Finn caught and put behind bars as soon as possible."

"You don't think that I want that to?" Damnit Derek! This is my problem. He's threatening me! Not you!" Meredith was getting exceedingly angry.

Derek knew it was the medication his wife was taking that was yelling at him, but he couldn't help it. She had hit a nerve. "Your problem? He's threatening my daughter! He's threatening my family!"

"Is this the doctor or the husband talking?"

"Meredith, please-"

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in." Meredith said sweetly, as if to tell Derek that she wasn't going to talk about this anymore.

"Mrs Grey. My name is Detective Dahl and this is my partner, Detective Tanner. We'd like to talk to you about Finn Dandridge."

Meredith looked at Derek and rolled her eyes. "Can we please just get this over with?"

"Of course Mrs. Grey. Now… you used to date Mr. Dandridge is that correct?"

"When I was in high school. I didn't see him again until about a month ago."

"what happened then?"

"He came to see me at work. Told me that it was my fault for the way life turned out."

"Ok… Now, do you remember what happened when you went to see Mr. Dandridge the other night?"

"Umm… I remember wanting to do everything in my power to get him away from my family, even if it meant the worst for me."

Meredith looked over to Derek who stiffened. "I remember walking up the bleachers to see him. He… he was smiling." Meredith hung her head, "then everything goes blank."

"Ok. That's ok, Mrs Grey. If you remember anything, let me know." He said, realizing just how agitated she was becoming.

Meredith just nodded. "Thank you detectives." Derek said, opening the door for the detectives. When they left he shut the door and turned to Meredith. "Meredith, I'm sorry about getting angry earlier." He said, walking towards her.

"Me too." She whispered.

"Ok." Derek accepted. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I have a craniotomy in a half hour. I should go."

"Ok, love you."

"I love you too. And later, we'll have to argue about you sacrificing yourself for your family." He added, leaving before she could say anything back to him.

"So, What did the Hawaii 5-0 have to say?" Christina asked shoving a forkful of her lunch into her mouth.

"They just wanted to know more about Finn. They wanted to know more about what happened that night."

"And?" Izzie asked.

"And nothing. I don't remember much from that night you guys."

"Must have been a real bummer when you remembered that you haven't made any extra friends since high school." Alex said.

"Shut up Alex" Izzie scolded.

"Ok, ok, enough about anything that revolves around me. Are we all set for the wedding Izzie?" She asked.

"Alright, we're out of here." George said as he and Alex got up and left.

"Thanks for coming by you guys."

"You sure know how to clear a room full of guys Grey." Alex said.

"So, Izzie… The planning?"

"Oh… We were actually going to talk about the wedding? I thought we were trying to get rid of the guys. I'm outta here. Try to find an aortic valve that needs replacing or something." Christina said, also making herself scarce.

"Mommy!" Samantha squealed, jumping up on the bed and into her mother's arms.

"Hey sweetheart." She greeted, pulling Samantha close to her. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too mommy. How are you feeling. Izzie's coming with our McDonalds. They had Barbie toys!"

Meredith laughed. "That's great baby. I'm feeling so much better now that you're here. What did you get me at McDonalds?"

"Izzie got you a Big Mac meal with a Diet Coke."

"Good woman."

"Hey Mer." Izzie said walking in.

"Gimme, gimmie, gimme." She said, reaching out for the bag.

"Manners mommy." Samantha warned.

"You're right Sammie. Gimme, please." Meredith corrected herself, opening up her bag and pulling out her Big Mac and taking a bite. "Sooo good." She moaned.

"Ok you two. I have to get back to work. Derek should be by soon."

"Thank you Izzie." Meredith said through a mouthful of food.

"Mommy, you're not supposed to speak with your mouth full." Samantha corrected.

"Sammie, when you're out playing with William Bailey, do you correct him?" Meredith asked, referring to Samantha's best friend and Dr. Bailey's son.

"No. Will knows better." Samantha said, taking a bite of her French fry.
