Here is another update. Enjoy!

Lexie stood in the doorway hoping Mer didn't notice her standing there.

It had been a week since Derek's operation and he still hadn't woken up. Since his operation Meredith hadn't left his room unless she was forced too. She wouldn't let anyone in to his room and refused to talk to anyone unless it was about Derek and him waking up.

She would probably still be warring the same close on if Lexie hadn't gone to the trailer and brought her, her things.

They had given up days ago to make go down to the cafeteria go eat. So now they took turns in to bring her some food to the room instead.

Even though Meredith hated it they would stay and watch her eat and drink to make sure she would eat her food so she wouldn't also be sick.

Lexie was starting to get really worried about her sister. She wouldn't even think about what would happen if Derek never woke up. But she was sure that it would break Meredith.

Lexie looked over at Meredith again. She was sitting in the same chair that she had been sitting in all week. She was leaning forward to rest her head on the bed where Derek was laying. She couldn't tell if Meredith was asleep or not. But she went in anyway.

"Hey Mer" Lexie said as she went over to the bed. She knew not to stand to close to her or touch her. Meredith had made it perfectly clear that she did not like to be touch by anyone.

There was no response not that was a surprise.

"So how are you doing? Do you need anything?"

Before Lexie had any chance to say anything else someone was calling her by the door.

She looked over to see Cristina standing there, giving her a signal to go over to her.

"I will be back in a minute, okay Mer?"

"What is it?" Lexie asked Cristina.

"How is she doing?"

"I don't know because she still won't say anything"

"Okay. Do you know if she has eaten breakfast?"

"She have. But I think she could really use a shower. She hasn't had one in days!"

"Okay. You go. I will try to get her to take one"

"No really, I don't mind"

"Who do you think will have better luck? Her sister or her person"

"Okay, I see your point. Tell her that I will come and see her later" and with that Lexie walked away.

"Hey Mer"

"Okay, this silent treatment is getting old. Can't you come up with something that isn't so last year?" Cristina tried to joke but it got no response from Meredith.

"Look I know this sucks and if you weren't pregnant I would have brought José a long time ago. But again leave it to shepherd to ruined the fun"

Meredith replied with a grunt.

"Okay a grunt. Now we are getting somewhere. Listen that sister of yours thinks you are smelly and need a shower… so let's go and get you in the shower…"

"Do you really think I care if I smell like crap? I am not leaving him!" Meredith snapped.

"Listen to you. The first thing you say in a week and it is about you smelling like crap! It is good to have the old Mer back" Cristina joked but was a little surprised that Meredith had said anything. She thought she had to push some more buttons but as long as Meredith was talking that was all that really mattered.

"No, but think about Shep. What do you think he will say when he wakes up and you smell like a dog that has peed all over you. That is some way to welcome him back to reality!"

"But what if he wakes up when I am in the shower. Then he will wake up all alone and I don't want that" Meredith said as she looked down at Derek.

"Okay look. What if I sit with him while you take a shower? Will you go then?" Cristina proposed.

"And you promised not to leave until I will be back?"

"Yes I promise. Now there is a bathroom to this room and in that bathroom there is a shower which you will use while I will sit here and do charts. So go!"

She leaned over to give Derek a kiss on the cheek.

"I will just go and take a shower and then I will be right back, okay? I love you so much, remember that!"

Meredith hesitated as she stood up from the chair. But she got up and began to walk over to the bathroom.

"In the bag Lexie brought, there should be everything you need" Cristina said as she sat down on the chair Meredith had just sat in.

With on last glimpse over her shoulder to look at Derek, she walked over to the bathroom.

"You will get me if anything happens, right?" Meredith asked.

"Right, now go!"

Meredith opened the door to the bathroom and closed it after a minute.

Cristina waited until she could hear the water running before she turned over to look at Derek.

"Okay listen. If you tell anyone I talked to you I will kill you, understand? So the thing is Mcdreamy, Meredith loves you and even though I don't understand what it is she sees in you except for the hair and that dreamy smile, she really loves you. After everything that she has been through with her mom and her dad and then Susan, she doesn't deserve this to. So whatever you have to do to wake up I say; do it! Because if you die or never wake up again, I don't think she can come over that. So unless you are that brainless as you seem to be sometimes I really think now is a good time to wake up… yeah okay so whatever…"

The sound of shower turning of got Cristina to turn back around to the table in front of her and started her charting.

Please be kind and leave a comment :) Happy new years to every one!
