Thank you guys for all the reviews, each and one of them made my day!

The few minutes after I fell was chaos. Everyone in the room rushed over to Megan, their doctor instincts kicking in. I couldn't see much from my spot on the floor, but I could see everyone around her. I didn't want to get up. It was my fault she got scared, I should have been more careful. I blink a few times, trying to awake from this nightmare. Amelia moves to grab her phone, and I can see Megan now, and she very obviously unconscious. I hear Amelia briefly talk to who I would assume is 911, and take her position back at Megan's side.

When the paramedics arrived, I was still on the floor where I fell, just leaned up against the wall. A gurney was brought in, and Megan was placed on it and was rushed out. Owen and Nathan went with the ambulance leaving Amelia with me.

"Meredith, are you bleeding?" She says softly before rushing over to me. She roughly grabs my arm to examine my hand. "The cut looks to be about 2 inches long, not too deep, no major arteries or veins but you are definitely still going to need stitches." She quickly walks to the kitchen and brings back a towel to wrap my hand in for the moment.

"Oww." I wince as she gently wraps the towel around my hand.

"We are going to go the hospital and get you stitched up so you'll stop bleeding all over the place and to check up on Megan. Okay?"

"Is Megan gonna be okay? I could tell she was unconscious but…" I trailed off.

She watched me for a moment before saying anything. "She definitely hit her head pretty hard. There is a small lac that's going to need a stitch or two. I told them she will need a CT to rule out the possibility of a bleed. I suggest keeping a close eye on her, but nothing is for sure till we see her scans." She must have noticed the horror on my face, especially since I know I caused this. "Meredith, she is gonna be fine. Let's get to the hospital to prove that and get you stitched up."

Amelia watches carefully as we head to my car, and she decides it's the better idea for her to drive, since my hand has a cut and all. As soon as we are both in and heading toward the hospital, she decides to talk. So much for a silent car ride. "Meredith, this wasn't your fault. I know you think it is, but she has awful PTSD and most noises scare her. You just scared her a little, and she got up and tripped. Anyone could have tripped and her head like she did. It happens, it's life."

"I am the reason she got up so-"

Amelia was quick to cut me off. "Meredith, accidents happen okay? It is part of life. It was not your fault, and Nathan and Owen know that. Right now, we shouldn't focus on why or how she fell, but how to help her get better. Okay?"

"Okay." I say as we pull into the hospital parking lot. Amelia comes around to help me out and into the ER, and that's when I really notice the pain. Obviously, the adrenaline has worn off. I sit on one of the gurneys while Amelia goes to get a suture kit. As soon as she is back I ask her to hand me my phone so I call Maggie.

"Hey Maggie, how are the kids?" I say, trying not wince as Amelia puts the anesthetic in.

"Good, they are in their rooms playing. Do you need an excuse to leave? Its almost been two hours."

I bite my lip wondering how to reveal this to her. Or even if I should. Megan is going to be fine, either way. "Uh yeah, about that. I'm at the hospital."

"You ditched the dinner to go work?" I hear her try to suppress her laughter, only casing me to laugh.

"No, I didn't ditch dinner." I say, my tone getting very serious. "Megan fell and hit her head, she is getting a CT as we speak. I fell also, and Amelia is stitching up my hand."

"What? Are you okay? How is this cut? How many stitches are you gonna need? How did Megan fall and is she okay? Do I need to come to hospital?" She fired the questions at me, full of concern.

"Maggie, I'm fine. Megan is in CT right now, so we will know shortly. You don't need to come in, just give each of the kids a kiss for me. I'll be home as soon as we know how Megan is."

"Okay, okay. Call me in and hour and let me know if you have heard anything. If you don't call me, I swear Meredith I will come done there."

"I will let you know. Bye."

"Bye."

I sigh, just wanting to go home to my bed and some tequila. I'm supposed to have the day off tomorrow anyways, and I was going to sleep in and take the kids to the park.

"Let me guess, Maggie is crazy worried and wants to come down here to make sure you are okay herself?" Amelia asked with a grin.

"Yep. She said to call her in an hour or she will come and find out herself."

"Figures. Well I'm done stitching you up, and I'm sure you know how long to leave them in and ect. Let's go see how Megan's scans are, she should be done soon."

I nod as I jump off the gurney and follow her to the elevator, and Alex slips in also.

"Mer, Amelia, I thought you guys had a dinner to go to tonight. You bailing? Cause I wouldn't mind a little help on this case I got."

"I-uh, don't see how I would be of help." I whisphered looking down at my now wrapped hand, seeing as he obviously hadn't noticed.

"Wilson went home, so I just want someone to talk to. Plus, you avoided my question about the dinner. Was it that bad?" Amelia shared a look just as he turned around and noticed my hand. "Meredith, what the hell happened? Was it Nathan? I will kill him!"

Amelia raised an eyebrow at him and gave me a look, which basically meant you are explaining what happened. "Chill, I fell with a wine glass in my hand. It happens. I'm fine as always. We are going to see how Megan is doing."

"Megan?" He asked as we all exited the elevator to head toward the CT room.

"Yes. She got scared when she heard the glass shatter, so she got up and tripped. She hit her head and lost consciousness, so she is getting a CT."

"Oh. So much for a good dinner, even though you had called it, it sounds like a disaster." Alex said as he went the opposite way.

I take a deep breath before entering the CT room. Amelia and I enter to see Owen and Nathan standing near the computer pointing at something. As I get closer, Owen moves so we can see it.

"That is a huge subdural hematoma. She is definitely going to need surgery Owen." Amelia says softly, looking between their faces. "I can do it. Only if you want me to."

Nathan doesn't say anything, just runs a hand over his face. He turns around and glares at me before adding his input to the conversation. "Amelia is good. If she says she can do it, then have her do it. We only want the best for Megan, she has been through enough already."

"True. Amelia, go ahead and do the surgery. I'm going to go with Megan down to pre-op, okay?" Owen said as he walked toward the door, not before dropping a kiss on Amelia's head. Amelia followed him out, leaving Nathan and I alone.

"Nathan, are you okay?" I ask softly, knowing this couldn't be easy for him either.

"Am I okay?' He huffed.

"I'm just asking Nathan. She is just starting to get better, and this happens. I know this can't be easy on you. Its not easy on any loved one."

"And what would you know about this huh? You have never been in a situation like this." He snapped.

"Maybe I haven't. But I been in situations where someone I loved needed surgery. When my husband got shot, he needed surgery. My best friend operated on him at gun point. That's a way different situation, but I remember being scared to death that he was going to die on that table. My mother needed a few surgeries before she died, and I had to decide if she would want the surgery, since she was no longer lucid at the point. We really had a love hate relationship, but still, she was my mother. All I'm saying is that it's not easy being the loved one in the waiting room, or even the one trying to make the best decision for a loved one. If you need to talk, I'm always here. I'm pretty sure I've told you I've been through a lot. Just ask." I said before walking away, but not giving a chance to respond. I need some coffee for sure.

As I'm getting my coffee, I run into Alex again. He notices me struggling to get my coffee and helps me out. "So, is Megan alright?"

"She has the ginormous subdural hematoma." Alex raises his eyebrows. "I am serious, that thing is huge! Amelia is going to operate on it."

"Is she allowed to? Megan is her sister in law, since she is married to Owen."

"I have no idea, but from the sounds of it, Owen is pretty confident in his wife's skills."

"Of course he would be confident in her skills, I mean they are married if you know what I mean." Alex said with a wink.

I elbowed him. "Shut up! Not like that, you know what I meant." I couldn't help but laugh though.

"Yeah, I do know. Page me when there is news, or if you need me. You are kinda crippled now." He teased.

"Am not!"

"Really? Says the one who was struggling to make a cup of coffee just a few minutes ago."

"Shut up. I could have done it by myself."

"Mhm." He smiled as he walked away.

I sigh, knowing it was going to be a long night. I find myself looking at the OR board, which is pretty empty s ince its late at night, and only emergencies are supposed to be scheduled for late at night. I see Megan's name on, along with Amelia's. I look and see no general surgeries that I could jump on, so I decide to go to the scrub room Amelia should be in right now.

I walk in to her with her hands on her hip, looking up and her chest up. "Amelia?" I purposely drag out the "A" in her name, as I'm confused as what is going on. "Are you okay?"

She lets out a breath before turning to face me. "I got this. I was just doing the superhero pose, its supposed to make you feel more confident before something big, so all my big surgeries I do it. It really does work."

"Oh. I didn't know that. That's cool. Anyways, I was just checking."

"Well, uh, thanks for checking. I'm good. I could use a fruit smoothie though?" She asked, lessening the tension.

"Seriously?" I ask, laughing at her.

"Yeah, if you wouldn't mind. I was also wondering if you would come in and get periodic updates for Owen. He is really worried, and I don't want an intern doing it."

"Yeah, of course I can do that. So, you guys are doing better I see? Cuddling on the couch tonight and little kisses on the head?"

"It's nice. Better than spot we were in where we could barely be in a room together."

"I had those fights with Derek. It always was great when we returned to normal. I miss those little fights. They may suck, but you might miss them one day."

"I know." Amelia sighed, before putting her mask on. "Can you go get my fruit smoothie now?"

"I'm going, I'm going."

About an hour into the surgery, while we were waiting in the waiting area, a concerned Maggie came around the corner.

"Meredith, you didn't call!" I cringed, remembering that I was supposed to call her and let her know what was going on.

"Sorry, I must have forgotten." I put a fake smile on my face, hoping it looks believable

"Uh huh. I'm sure you did." She said putting a hand on her hip.

"I really did. Plus, I am exhausted, so that probably isn't helping." I faked a yawn to look more convincing.

"Whatever. So, I assume since you guys are waiting out here that Megan is in surgery."

"Yep. She has this huge subdural hematoma, and Amelia is operating."

"Oh. How is she doing?"

"I am actually supposed to go get an update here in a minute, do you just want to that for me since you are up? And maybe get them coffees?" I pointed toward Nathan and Owen who were a few seats down.

Owen was listening to the conversation and decided to jump in. "An update would be great. I can get us all coffees since I want to walk around a bit. You want one Maggie?"

"Sure." They both left, again leaving me alone in a room with Nathan. He gets up and sit in the chair next to mine.

"I'm sorry."

"For?" I ask unsure what he is talking about.

"About your mom and Derek, what you told me earlier. I was just upset, and you were just trying to comfort me and I was rude. So, I'm sorry."

"Oh, well uh, thank you."

"You're welcome, Meredith"

We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes. I shivered, as I didn't have a jacket and the hospital is always cold. Nathan noticed, and almost immediately started to take off his jacket.

"Nathan, that's not necessary. I am fine."

"You are shivering, and you have goosebumps. You are cold. I am giving you my jacket Meredith." He stated before wrapping his jacket around me.

"Thank you." I whisper.

I awake in an unfamiliar place, and rub my face with my hands before opening my eyes. Once I do. I quickly sit up looking wide eyed at Nathan. I had fallen asleep on his shoulder, and he was resting his head on mine. He had obviously started to fall asleep, he looked exhausted.

"Meredith, you just fell asleep on my shoulder. It's nothing." He says calmly, clearly seeing panic on my face.

"I fell asleep on your shoulder." I repeated.

"Yes…"

I also realized I was still wrapped in his jacket. It smelt like him, and I didn't want to give it up, but I took it off and handed it back to him anyways.

"Meredith, it's fine. It's clear that you are exhausted, you should go home."

"I'm here to support yo-Owen." I smile, hoping he didn't catch my slip up.

"I know, but I can call you when Megan gets out surgery."

"I'll stay, where is Owen?"

"Bathroom."

"Maggie?"

"Went for an update since you fell asleep on the job."

"Oh."

"She should be back soon." He said as Owen got back.

We all sat silently for several minutes before Maggie and an exhausted Amelia in her surgical stuff appeared. I bit my lip, wondering how long I had actually been asleep. Both Nathan and Owen stood when Amelia got closer.

"I got the bleed, but it was way worse than the scan showed. We won't know anything till she wakes up." I sigh at the phrase that is said when they truly won't know till the patient awakes, but they usually know or have a gut feeling about what could be wrong.

"So, you don't know if she is going to be okay or not?" Nathan asked, sounding mad.

"We won't know till she wakes up."

Nathan whips around to look at me before stepping closer. "You. You did this to her! We won't know till she wakes up whether or not she will be okay or not, and that's all your fault! You are the reason we are here in the first place!" He yelled.

"Nathan, it's not the time or the place." Owen whispered.

"You did this to her! It's all her fault! She is the reason Megan had to come to the hospital, and have another surgery! Brain surgery at that! I want her gone!" He raised his voice a little higher.

I could only bite my lip for so long before the tears came anyways. I decided within in seconds of him saying he wanted me gone to run. As far away from them as I could get.

People tend to say things they don't mean when they are upset :(

Anyways, I'm going to bring in Meredith winning the harper avery, because she deserved it so much. It obviously won't be Megan she operates on but I've got an idea of what I'm going to do :)

Hope you guys enjoyed the holidays :)
