The sun seeping in through the blinds caused Meredith to wake up.
"Good morning" Derek smiled.
"Why are you watching me?" she ran her hands over her face.
"I love waking up to a beautiful woman."
"Seriously I just woke up. Definitely will not win a beauty contest"
"I beg to differ Mer. You are and will always be beautiful"
"I have to get ready for work"
"Can we ride in together?"
"Not like I have any other choices. My car is still at the hospital"
"Want to take a shower with me?"
"Yes" she climbed out of bed and followed him into the bathroom.
Derek started the water and helped Meredith undress.
"So shower sex?" she laughed as she followed him into the shower.
"Have you guys seen Mer?" Christina tried calling her a couple times this morning.
"She spent the night with Derek" Izzy smiled remembering her night with Alex.
"McDreamy?" Christina asked.
"What's with the name?" Izzy asked.
"Seriously look at the man." Christina watched as Derek and Meredith walked off the elevator.
"Look at that" Izzy pointed.
Christina walked over to Meredith "I have been calling you all morning"
"Something wrong?" Meredith asked letting go of Derek's hand.
Derek leaned over and kissed Meredith. "Lunch?" he asked.
"Sure"
"Okay I'll let you guys talk. See you later" he smiled as he walked away.
"So what's going on with you two. You look like a teenager with her first boyfriend"
"That obvious?"
"Watch yourself. He is married Mer."
"They are done"
"We'll see"
"What was so important?"
"Have you seen the new trauma doctor?"
"Dr. Hunt?"
"Yes"
"Christina do you have a crush?"
"Seriously I do not have a crush." Christina laughed.
"Yes you do." Meredith could see it in her eyes.
"He's different."
"I have a surgery. We can talk later"
"Okay"
"Christina" Meredith stopped walking and turned around. "You have a crush" she laughed again as she walked away.
Meredith opened her office. As she walked into the room she noticed the flower's on her desk.
She pulled the card off.
Thanks for taking a chance- Derek
Meredith smiled.
Christina walked up to Dr. Hunt. "Dr. Hunt" she couldn't help to think of Meredith's words.
She was not the type of woman to have crushes. Yet this man brought something out in her.
"I was wondering if you would like to have lunch"
"Are you asking me out?"
"No you do eat right?" she swallowed her pride.
"Sure I will have lunch with you" he smiled.
"Okay thanks" she smiled as she walked away she realized that she had a crush.
Meredith walked into Christopher's room. She noticed his mom on the chair.
"Good morning" she walked up to the little boy. She immediately checked his vitals.
"Dr. Grey" his face lit up at the sight of her.
"How are you feeling?"
"Okay I would like to go home. My brother's birthday is today"
Meredith wanted to let him go home. She understood that it was hard for any child to be stuck at the hospital.
"I'm sorry you have surgery in the morning. I need you to stay."
"Why can't you do it today?" he asked looking over at his mom.
His mom walked over to the bed. "It's okay Chris we can celebrate his birthday. After you have your surgery."
"Mom he's already mad at me." the little boy cried.
"He's not mad. He's upset that your not home. He will be okay." she tried to comfort her son.
"We will do the surgery tomorrow." Meredith smiled. "If there is anything that you need. Have the nurses page me okay" she looked at his mom.
"Thanks Dr. Grey"
"Your welcome" she shook the mother's hand. She looked back at the boy. "Tomorrow" she whispered as she walked out of the room.
Meredith was worried about the surgery. The boy was only ten and it always made her nervous. Operating on someone so little.
"You look like you lost your best friend" Derek walked up beside her. He could see the sadness in her eyes.
"No I have to operate on a little boy tomorrow. I know that it's going to be okay. That he will pull through. I just worry."
"Would you like me to help?" he would do anything for her.
"No I have it under control. Thanks for asking" she stopped at the elevator.
Derek smiled as he pulled her into his arms. "I'll see you at lunch"
"Okay" she let him hold her for an extra minute. She needed to be in his arms. To feel protected in his embrace.
The elevator opened and Derek stepped on. He smiled at George before looking back at Meredith.
"See you later" he smiled as the doors closed.
Derek looked at George. He could see the anger in his eyes.
"Why don't you like me?" Derek asked.
"You better not hurt her. She's fragile and in love with you. We all know how she feels about you. What's going to happen when you decide to run back to your wife?" George yelled.
"I am not going back to her. I want to be with Meredith" Derek defended himself.
"You say that now." he yelled as the door's opened and he stepped off.
A/N: Okay so I wrote this update late last night. It has a lot of detail but I was trying to get Christina and Owen in the story. Also I like George acting like the protective brother looking out for Meredith. I really think that he needs a new love interest especially on the show. As always read and review.
