So, Lexie fell down the stairs. Did Nelson handle it, and how does Mark take the news and can they handle what's coming up?
"I did what I could.." Nelson said calm
"She's not awake yet, and I don't know how long it will be. But she made it through." Nelson smiled at them. Mer looked up, She made it, she's still alive. She hugged Derek and kissed his forehead when she remembered.
"Mark…" She choked between the tears.
Derek looked at her in concern and kissed her again, before he pulled up his phone and texted Mark. He didn't have the voice of speaking at the moment.
Mark woke up by his phone, he turned away and sighed. Lexie's in the hospital, get here…
He sighed, what the hell. She wasn't his girlfriend, so why would he care. Innermost he did care though, but he was cranky, it was 2 am and he wanted to sleep. He sighed when he stood up, then it hit him. Lexie was in the hospital, she was hurt, injured.. He ran out to the car and drove as fast as he possibly could to find Derek, Meredith and … Alex in the waiting area.
"What?" Mark gasped.
"She fell down the stairs…" Alex looked at Mark.
Mark starred at them, and he fought his instinct of running to her.
"Where is..?" His eyes filled with tears.
"She's in the ICU.. Nelson just finished her surgery" Derek spoke up; he felt his need to step in before anything happened between the two Lexie lovers. Mer stood at his side, her tiny hand were shaking and she was red-eyed and her face was swollen from all the crying. Derek kissed her head every few minutes and Alex he stood there, struggling with his breathing and hurting. Mark starred and he was a few seconds to walk away, walk back, to Joe's and have a drink when Bailey came down.
"You can go up, she's not awake but you can be there." Bailey noticed Mark, "You too" She commanded him.
They walked together into the room, and the first one to gasp was Mark, he saw the pale face that was lying in the bed, with her right leg in a huge packet and hooked up to several machines to help her breathe, to help her heart, to help everything. Alex froze as he entered
"oh, hell…" He got up.
Mer starred at the machines, and cuddled into Derek's chest. He rubbed her back as he listened to the beeps from all the machines. Oh my god, this is how I looked, I laid here, all the wires, the machines, shit.. The memories of the wound he had on his chest and how they got there all flashed by his eyes. He now understood what Mer had seen, when he laid in the ICU, when he was wounded.
The first one to step to the tiny person in the bed was Mark.
"I know you don't hear me but. It's going to be fine. It's all going to be fine" He whispered in her ear and he stroke her hair.
Mer left Dereks arm and took a step forward, when the pain hit her back. She froze for a moment and then rubbed her lower back gently.
"Mer, are you okay?" Derek looked at her before his eyes returned to Lexie.
"Yeah, I just have to find Cristina" She smiled at him and walked out.
"What the hell is going on with her?" He looked at Alex who shrugged and walked in and sat down in the chair. He looked at Mark, as he took a few deep breaths.
Mer walked outside the ICU, as she felt the same cramp in her back once again. She sighed when she heard Cristinas voice.
"Mer, what the…"
"Help me to OB" Mer choked.
Cristina glanced at Mer while she rubbed her back.
"Want Derek to follow?"
She shook her head. "I can page him when I know it's a complete miscarriage. If it is."
"He doesn't know you… " Cristina couldn't say it.
"Lost his baby, no.. he doesn't…"
Cristina walked her in to OB and they say down in the waiting area.
"Wait.. you didn't got checked until NOW?" Cristinas eyes widened.
"No, didn't think I needed" She glared as they was called into the exam room.
"Well, it was a complete miscarriage, you won't need anything. But for that pain, I'd recommend to slow down, no work or heavy lifting." Mer nodded towards the OB.
", can you look after her for the next week, if she has too much of these cramps you'd bring her here okay?" Cristina nodded and they headed out.
"You okay now?" Mer asked Cristina as they walked down to Lexie again.
"Yeah, the question.. Are YOU okay? Having any cramps or whatever?"
Mer shook her head.
"Those meds really helped" She smiled as they turned to the ICU.
Cristina shook her head,
"I have a surgery, got to go. I guess you can make it on your own?" Mer pulled her head to the side. "Yeah, I'm not an invalid" She walked in to the room were her husband, Alex and Mark sat.
She sat down in Dereks lap, as he turned his face to her.
"You were gone long, really long" She smiled.
"Yeah, it took time to get those pain meds I needed to stop those co.. cramps" She was to close to say contractions and Derek noticed.
"Contractions?" His voice was filled with concern.
"Cramps, or it might be contractions.. they didn't know" She whispered and looked away.
"You're not pregnant are you?" Dereks eyes widened.
Meredith shook her head, "No, I'm not" she felt her eyes fill with tears and she wiped them away.
Derek cuddled her up against his chest, despite the small pain he felt in the incision he felt his wife was most important. He kissed her shoulder as she hid her face in his arms and she slowly fell asleep.
Lexies machines suddenly beeped, disturbing Mers dreams. Mark and Alex had left for eating, they had left together and Derek had stayed with Mer.
" I'm your eye for an eye. "Mer spoke during her dreams.
"Tell Derek I'm sorry and that I love him" Derek looked at Mer as she kept dreaming.
"I'm having a miscarriage, I need lidocane are you going to help me?"
She slowly opened her eyes as Lexies machines beeped once again, this time it was a creepy beep, it wasn't normal. Derek looked up just to watch Lexies blood pressure hit the roof. Mer gasped as she watched the machines and jumped forward to Lexies bedside.
"She's never been hypertensive before" Mer choked "Page Bailey"
Derek looked at the monitor, "We need to fix this Mer, she doesn't have time" He heard his voice and he took a deep breath. "We need to give her this" He put a white thing into the needle and she slowly stabilized.
"We're you having nightmares Mer? You said you wanted him to shoot you?" He looked at her as she breathed to slow her heartbeat down.
"Yeah, I dreamt of the day Gary was here.." She felt a sudden urge to sleep again.
"Derek I'm tired.. I dream a lot these days okay?" She noticed he hadn't mentioned the miscarriage, she guessed he ignored that or she hoped he hadn't heard but.
Alex and Mark walked in, and they noticed Mer stood up.
"Something happened?" Mark starred at Lexie.
"Yeah, her blood pressure went through the roof, but Derek fixed it" Mer smiled as she sat down in Dereks lap again.
"oh, well good. If you two want to sleep we are here now. We can page you if we need help!"
Mer nodded and she and Derek headed to the closest on-call room where they fell asleep tight to eachother. Mers nightmare didn't come back, it didn't come back for several months actually.
Yeah, i put in some MerDer to, had to... Will Derek ever figure out it was the real thing or do he keep thinking its just nightmares, and will Lexie ever wake up..
And are Mark and Alex freinds though they both want Lexie?
We're heading out for a real big drama, but there will be a short time til i can get next chapter up..
Rewives are love!
