Thank you guys for all the nice reviews :)


"It's about Nathan." She replied, and silence followed as I know he knows about Megan, since I told him, and I told her I would tell him.

"I did tell him about Megan, he knows. He is actually on his way to you guys and should be there soon." I sighed, not really in the mood to argue with her.

"No Meredith. That's not what I was talking about. I was calling to tell you that he," She paused, sounding like she was trying to come up with the right words, "he was in an accident."

"N-Nathan was in an accident?" I froze, trying to process her words.

"Meredith, he was involved in a car accident on his way here." Amelia had just confirmed my fears.

"is he okay?" I questioned as I got up and began looking for my shoes. There was about a minute of silence from both of us before I spoke up again "Amelia, answer me. Is he okay?"

"He is still in the trauma room, so I don't know exactly how he is."

I had probably a million questions racing through my mind but the only one to come out was "Where the hell are my shoes?"

"Meredith- "

"I'm fine. I'll be on my way as soon as I find my shoes." I cut her off. I know she was going to ask if I was okay, and I honestly don't know. I will talk to her when I get there to find out exactly what happened, and everything she knows.

"Meredith, please have Maggie or somebody drive you, okay?"

"Okay, bye." I hung up, not wanting to argue with her, since I'd rather drive. I still needed to find my shoes, and Maggie might know where they are.

I ran down the stairs, and started to look for Maggie. I found her in the living room watching tv with Zola, and Bailey asleep on the other side of the couch. "Hi guys. Maggie, have you seen my shoes?" I say softly, not wanting to wake Bailey.

"Uh, hi Mer. I think they are in your room" Maggie and Zola looked at me, both looked surprised to see me up.

"Thanks." I started up the stairs and heard footsteps not far behind me. I got in my room and waited for her to get there before resuming looking for my shoes.

"Mer, you look a little freaked out, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just need you to watch the kids while I run Owen and Amelia some clothes." I didn't feel like telling her and having her ask me a million times if I'm okay, and I just need her to watch the kids seeing as Alex is who knows where and I just sent the nanny home. I just hope she'll be okay with me lying to her yet again.

"Uh okay and your shoes are right there." She pointed beside my nightstand, and there they were. I must have over looked them when I was freaking out, I still am, I just managed to calm myself a little bit. It's like a two-hour drive, so no way I could stay calm the whole time, but I could try.

I grabbed my shoes and quickly threw them on, got up and grabbed my keys off my nightstand. "I'll call you when I get there, but call me if you need me." I walked out of my room, just leaving Maggie sitting on my bed. I walked down stairs and grabbed my coat and purse. As I was putting my coat on, Zola came over to me.

"Hey ZoZo, what's up?"

"Mommy, are you going to the hospital?"

"No honey. I'm going to see Owen and Amelia."

"Ooh! Can I come Mommy?"

"Not now ZoZo, maybe in a couple days, alright?" Zola nodded, but looked disappointed. "If you behave and listen to Aunt Maggie while I'm gone, we will go on an ice cream date, just the two of us. How does that sound?"

"I'll be a good girl, I promise." She smiled, which made me smile.

I walked out the door, and as I was locking the door I heard a creaking noise that startled me. I looked over at the swing, and there was Alex, hugging an unopened bottle of tequila.

"I'm guessing that's for the both of us?" I asked as I walked over to him, but making sure not to sit down since I wanted to get on the road already but I have to make sure he is okay before I go.

"Uh, yeah. Mainly me, but I was hoping you would drink with me." He smiled, knowing I hardly ever turn down a drink with my person. Him saying "mainly me" make me think he doesn't know about the whole Nathan and Megan situation. I understand though, since he has been dealing with his own stuff.

"Normally I would say yes, but I've got a two-hour drive ahead of me, so I should probably get going."

"Two-hour drive? Where are you going?"

"I'll explain more later, but they found Owen's sister, Megan. She is alive. I'm going to bring Owen and Amelia some clothes and stuff." I bit my tongue, not wanting to tell him anything else till I knew more. I also wanted to go alone, to hopefully figure what I would say to Nathan. That's if he is alright.

"Oh. Call me with updates on how she is." He didn't even seem to realize or remember that Nathan and Megan were together and engaged, and what that could possibly mean for Nathan and I's relationship. I didn't even know what it means, but hopefully I'll figure out soon 'cause I definitely hate thinking about what could happen.

I smiled at Alex and then walked to my car, and got in. I sat there for a minute or two and let the tears I had been holding back fall down my face. After a few minutes, I quickly wiped my face, pulled out my phone and looked up the address of the hospital, and got directions. I took a deep breath and began pulling out of my driveway.


I finally could see the hospital. I let out a deep breath, not knowing what to expect once I got there. Amelia hasn't called to update me, which only makes me worry more. I did call Maggie to check on the kids and got an earful on how I should have told her before I left. Maggie said a few minutes after I left Amelia called her and told her what had happened. Amelia also called Alex, who I got an angry and sympathetic phone call from. They both are mad at me for lying to them, but oh well.

I pulled into a parking spot not too far from the entrance of the hospital. I looked in the rearview mirror at myself to make sure I didn't look like a total wreck. I hadn't brushed my hair, so I just pulled it back into a messy ponytail. I had some bags under my eyes from lack of sleep the past couple days, so I fug through my purse to find some concealer and put it on. Now instead of looking exhausted, I look like I just woke up.

I sighed, and got out of the car. I walked toward the entrance of the hospital and thought of a million possibilities of things that could be wrong with Nathan, everything from a brain bleed to just some scratches and bruises. Of course, my mind wondered to the worst things that could happen, seeing as only those things happen to me. I pushed those thoughts away as I walked in the hospital doors and walked to the receptionist's desk. "Hi, I'm here to see Megan Hunt." I didn't want to be taken to Nathan without talking to Amelia first.

"Megan Hunt is on restricted visitors, you have to be on the list." The older lady on the right stated.

"Doctor Meredith Grey." I understood why they have the list, who knows how she will react when she wakes up or how she'll react when she sees people she knows. I doubt I would be on the list but it's worth a try.

"I'm sorry ma'am, your name isn't on the list." The receptionist said. The lady on the right looked me up and down, probably deciding whether I was crazy or just a wreck.

"Um, can you tell me where Owen Hunt and his wife is, I would like to talk to them." I forced a smile, hoping not to look too crazy.

The lady on the right raised an eyebrow at me and said "I'll take you to the waiting room where Owen Hunt's wife currently is. Follow me." She got up a started down the hallway, and I followed closely behind. I followed her into the elevator, and watched as she pressed 3. There was silence until the doors opened on 2, and a couple people who looked like surgeons stepped on. They whispered about this patient "that had been lost for 10 years" and the lady taking me to Owen and Amelia shot them a "you better shut up" look and glanced at me. Then the doors opened and I followed her to the waiting room.

"Hey Mer." Amelia gave me a hug which was very awkward. "Nathan- "

"How is Megan doing? Any injuries?" I cut her off, delaying the inevitable news about Nathan.

"She is still sedated, and she will stay that way till after her surgery tomorrow. She has a couple breaks that didn't heal properly, and they are going to fix them. Physically, she seems alright. Mentally, we won't know till she wakes up. Owen is in there with her, if you would like to see her."

"I would actually but, she is restricted on visitors, and I'm not on the list." I didn't really want to see right now, but it would seem rude to say no.

"Oh. I'll have Owen fix." She sat down in one of the waiting room chairs and motioned me to come sit next to her. "Maggie said you were bringing Owen and me some clothes?"

I scoffed, of course Maggie would tell her that. "That was kinda my coverup so I didn't have to tell her that Nathan was in an accident, and that was the reason for coming here, not for you guys."

Amelia laughed. "I kinda figured since you don't have a key to my house or know where the spare is."

"If I wanted too, I could have brought you all the clothes that are at my house from when you "crashed there", so don't laugh at my coverup."

"Fine, but I do want those back."

"Of course, come and get 'em." I took in a deep breath knowing that I had put off knowing about Nathan for long enough. "How did you find out Nathan was in an accident?"

"Some ER doctor heard I was a neuro surgeon, and asked me to consult on John Doe that was in a car crash." I could feel the tears coming, but for the moment I held them back. "When I got there, I saw it was Nathan. After I finished the consult, I called you."

"Oh." Was all I could say. He had a head injury, of all things.

"Meredith, it was just a bad head lac and a concussion. The CT was clear, but he hasn't woken up yet. When he does, I'll give him a full neuro exam."

I just looked over at her and she grabbed my hand and held it. "Anything else?"

"A broken ankle and a couple broken ribs. He is intubated, seeing as he crashed in the trauma room."

"He crashed?" His heart had actually stopped beating, but they got him back. I would definitely have to find out who the doctors were that worked on him and thank them.

"Yeah, follow me." She got up started down one of the many hallways. We stopped in front of a room, I could see him, intubated and still sleeping. A big piece of gauze and tape covered what I assume is his head lac. On his right foot and leg there was a cast. Everywhere else had little scratches and bruises.

"Do they know why he crashed? Was he distracted?" I knew it was my fault for letting him drive, but I wonder if they had figured out that he was distracted.

"Yes and no. As far as they know, he wasn't distracted, but they do know why he crashed." Amelia quieted her tone and looked at me.

"Then how did he crash?" I had to know before I walked into his room, I just had too.

"A drunk driver swerved into his lane and hit him on the driver's side. He was lucky he wasn't hurt worse actually."

"A drunk driver did this?" I could once again feel the tears coming, but I stopped them. One managed to slide down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. I had to be strong.

"Mer, you aren't going to like this." Amelia looked at me before glancing into Nathan's room. "The drunk driver wasn't hurt, didn't even need a stitch."

I felt another tear slide down my cheek and didn't bother to wipe it. Some irresponsible bastard did this to Nathan, and didn't get hurt. I don't understand why the universe is so screwed up and mean at times, it just doesn't make sense. "Is he being charged?"

"I think so. You should go in there and sit with Nathan till he wakes up. I'll tell a nurse to take out his intubation, since it looks like he is breathing over it." I nodded and walked into his room as Amelia walked to the nurse's station.

I pulled up one of those chairs right next to his bed, and took his hand in mine. A nurse came in and removed the tube, changed the fluids in his IV since they were running low, and left the two of us alone. I decided to let the tears fall, better while he is asleep so he doesn't see them. I don't want him to see me really upset and that influence his choice, since it is his choice. If he chooses Megan, I'll be happy for him, his miracle dream came true. I decide it's probably bot the best idea for him to wake to me holding his hand either. I sat back in the chair and watched him sleep for a few minutes before I began to drift to sleep. Just as I was almost asleep, I heard someone say my name.

"M-Meredith." It was his voice, weaker than usual but it was there. I opened my eyes to see his staring back at me.


Hope you guys liked it. ;)
