Unbroken

Chapter 17

Meredith sits up in her bed, Derek had been paged away an hour ago, and mark was in surgery fixing up some woman's chest. She had been bored for the last half hour and she could not take watching another midday movie. Addie had left in search of Richard, not that that was a bad thing because after he small comments Meredith wanted to rip her hair out.

The snide comment about her daughter being Mark's child. Meredith understood why Mark and Derek had called her but once they figured out what was wrong with her she wanted Addison to head back to California.

Meredith was sick of the mundane and wished that someone would come visit her. After all, it was hell for her, knowing that there was something wrong but not knowing what. She had been feeling odd a few times lately but had not been able to pinpoint the cause. The fear itself was enough for her to not say something to Derek.

At first, she was just having headaches and dizzy spells, which she just thought was part of pregnancy. But she knew at one stage, the darkness that overwhelmed her had not been right, but still, knowing something want right and defining what it was scared her to no end. She just wished that now she had done the right thing. Wishing now that she had sought out the advice of her friend, she could only assume that she could have avoided this. Running her hand through her hair in acknowledgement of the stress, she could not help but sigh. She closes her eyes, again letting the darkness over take her although there is something different about this darkness, its warm, and comforting.

Meredith's body begins to shake, and unbeknownst to her all the machines begin to go off, sending a whirling of noises around her room. Richard was out in the hall, he had been gaining an update from Addie on her latest condition. On hearing the noise coming from Meredith's room both run in.

On seeing Meredith seizing they move quick to roll her on her side and give her a shot of diazepam Richard works hard and is relieved to see her eyes open minutes later, Both he and Addie exchange looks, both knowing that this was bigger than Addie's field.

"Some one page Derek," Richard instructed, "and let's get her down to ct."

They rushed out the room and ran into Derek on the way.

"What's going on Richard?"

Richard looked at him with sadness in his eyes

'Derek she had another seizure a moment ago we are headed to CT without another word they all headed to figure out what was causing Meredith's seizures.
