Nancy was hungry, but she wasn't going to say anything to Derek because she too was growing concerned about Meredith. It wasnt that she hated Meredith, it was more to the fact that she was worried that she was too young for her brother.

She climbed out of the car, following them towards the hospital. She still was unsure what was happening, but knew that Derek needed her. She also knew that Derek would need their mother. It was obvious he was in pain and that he was trying to be strong, but she couldnt really say much when she put the sos call through to her mom because she didnt really know the situation.

Derek walked with his head down. He wanted to know what his sister knew, and yet, wasnt sure he wanted answers as he felt that he might not react in the best manner, especially if she had known for quite a while... or had she guessed it.

Erin hated to see her brother so cut up. He knew as soon as he heard the waver in his voice this morning that the case was personal, then adding to the high strung appearance was the knowledge that she had already had on Merediths case. After all, she had recieved a phone call from Meredith when she had first found out about the pregnancy. That was the beauty of being great friends with your brothers girlfriend.

They all stepped onto the elevator in silence, nobody knew what to say as they made their slow procession up the levels until they reached the floor to Dereks office. It was only then that Derek led them there and pushed open the door to see Meredith asleep on the couch with the oxygen mask on, and the heart monitor connected.

Nancy raised her eyebrows, especially when she saw the feotal monitor, but still she didnt say anything.

Looking around the room, they spotted Addie sitting at his desk going over her notes. She looked up at them, and then smiled softly at Derek.

"Nothing to worry about." she said softly. "I'm just being a little over protective." she said honestly.

"I just wanted to make sure that everything is ok with my neice or nephew, and that my little sister is comfortable." she told him.

Derek smiled a thanks as he stepped towards Meredith, looking down on her. "She usually snores." He said, and was not able to hide the look of concern.

"She isnt sleeping." Addie said quietly, and gestured to the ear plugs that were in Merediths ears.

Derek nodded before he moved to tug on the cord gently, making it seem as if it fell out. Meredith groaned a little and reached for the plug.

"Mer" he said softly, hoping to get her attention, but she simply sighed, obviously not hearing him as she went to replace the ear plug.

"Your going to have to do something better than that." Addie teased, knowing what Meredith was like, it usually was something like removing the mask.

Dereks eyes lit up at the thought as he slowly peeled back the mask and dropped a kiss on her lips.

"hmmm" she sighed as her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey" he said as his blue eyes met her green.

"Hi" she replied with a soft smile.

"What are you doing?" he asked, thinking that she may have had more issues.

"Miss bossy went over protective and now im being made to chill out until i see Ez." she said simply, moving to unplug her other head phone and turning off her ipod.

Derek then moved back a little and looked at Erin.

"Permission to move the wires?" Meredith asked Addie, who sighed and moved out from behind the desk to untangle Meredith.

Meredith watched as Addie nervously helped her before looking hesitantly at Nancy and back to her again.

"Hey Addie, can you go get Dad, let him know ez is here?" she asked.

Addie nodded, quite thankful for the out, and taking it quickly.

Meredith then moved to sit up and looked at Erin. "So tell me sugar, what are you thinking." she asked, trying to sound jovial, but unable to hide the fear in her voice any longer.

Derek reached for Merediths had as Erin took a seat at the end of the couch and began to speak.

Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us was made to weep
But we've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking
I can't keep on walking on broken glass

Walking on walking on broken glass
