Authors Note: Thank you guys for coming back. I'm still not a doctor so what I'm writing is probably complete bullshit, so if you want to become a doctor this is not the right place for you to be. I'm not a native speaker either so I would be pleased to hear about all the mistakes you can find.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Grey's Anatomy or any of their characters…

Miracles happen when we least expect them. They can be wonderful, sometimes even lifesaving. I've been waiting for a miracle to happen for months but it never did. And then in the exact moment where I put up with it never happening it did. I wouldn't have needed it anymore, I would have been fine both ways. I'm always fine but the miracle did happen which I'm still more than grateful for.

-Meredith Grey

"Wait did you feel that?" Derek asked.

"Yes, I did," Meredith answered not believing what had just happened.

"We should go to the hospital and get new scans done," said Derek already starting to go for the door.

"Wait! It's 12 am this can wait let's just go tomorrow there's probably not much we can do anyways and I still have to show you that I am indeed able to cook eatable food," she responded with a chuckle.

"Okay then, I'll be cleaning up the mess I made," he said starting to pick up all the things that had fallen out of their shelf.

"You ready?" Derek asked giving her his McDreamy smile and pushing her through the hospital doors as she nodded in response.

After they had talked to Dr. Nelson Derek brought Meredith to the CT room where they had to wait for more than half an hour even with Derek cheating their way through the line.

"I totally forgot that when you have a non-emergency patient you actually have to wait to get those damn scans done, which is kind of ironic because as long as they are unconscious they probably don't notice how long they are waiting," Meredith said jokingly.

"I'm going to find a way to get you in there sooner," said Derek wanting to take off.

"No, this is not an emergency. I am a normal patient like everyone else, so I'm going to wait like everyone else," Meredith told him in an attempt to stop him.

"Well we basically own this hospital so I'd say that you are not just any 'normal' patient," he replied, "and you are my wife so I don't care if everyone else has to wait a little bit longer."

"I can do this myself," said Meredith when Derek attempted to lift her up.

"Okay," he replied backing off, while Meredith was already positioning herself on the tray.

Derek went into the control room to wait for the images to come up. While he was waiting he talked to Meredith through the intercom.

"How are you feeling Mer?" He asked.

"I'm fine, just a little claustrophobic," she answered, trying not to move too much.

"Okay," Derek responded and then there was an awkward silence. He wanted to break it. He wanted to distract her from the annoying CT scan and so he asked: "What did you and Cristina talk about on the phone yesterday?"

But this didn't really help. When Meredith and Cristina talked to each other there was barely anything personal and although Cristina had always been a little closed up about personal matters Meredith used to be her person. She and Cristina kind of lost their connection at some point. Not only because she went to Switzerland though. It happened before that. Derek's question stayed unanswered so the awkward silence remained. The first words weren't spoken until the scans had come up.

"So what do they show?" Meredith asked while sitting back down in her wheelchair.

"The swelling has started to go down which is probably why you are starting to get the sensation in your legs back," Derek responded. "But since your spine is still dislocated and broken this could lead to it pressing against the spinal cord as the swelling goes down further," he added.

"And what do you do now?" Meredith questioned.

"I am going to be a loving husband because as much as I'd like for you to be my patient the hospital would probably never allow me to cut into my own wife," Derek told her.

"So I'm going to need another surgery?" She asked again.

"Yes and although Nelson has my respect as a college and probably didn't make any mistakes the last time he opened you up I'm not going to let him near my wife with a scalpel as long as there are better options. I will phone Dr. Härtl he was the chief of spinal surgery at the hospital where I did my residency. I think that he will probably want to wait until the swelling has gone down completely but I am going to send him the scans and wait to hear about his opinion," Derek informed her.

"Dr. Härtl said what I had already expected, he wants to wait with the surgery until the swelling has completely gone down. He also wants to mirror you closely, which is why he wants you transferred to New York and in the hospital while you are there. Maybe we could see my family again," Derek said as casually as he possibly could.

"So I'll not only be stuck in a hospital room all day, but I'll also have to face your sisters from whom I've only met one so far and as you might remember that didn't go too well," said Meredith really not being big on that whole family thing.

"But my mum loves you and the only reason why Nancy didn't is that she loves Addie and was taking any chance to let me think that I made the wrong choice and she is the hardest of them anyways," Derek tried to convince her.
