Meredith set down the phone as red and blue flashes of lights pulled into her driveway. It was a time was going in slow motion. All the bad thoughts that were running through her head were not solidifying and she felt like they were coming true. There was a knock at her door and suddenly her legs were moving. She was in a daze.
"Is this the home of Derek shepherd?" A police officer asked.
"It is. I'm his wife."
"We need you to come with us. There's been an accident." Another one replied. Meredith paused for a second turning around.
"I-I have kids. I can't just leave them here?"
Once all the problems were solved Bailey and Zola were strapped into car seats in the back of a cop car as they raced through traffic.
They wouldn't tell Meredith anything about what happened or how Derek was so when she walked into the hospital and to the front desk she stood frozen still. Afraid or mutter any words that would gain her a response that would break her. She didn't want to ask where he was. She didn't want to ask if he was alive or not, because if she did then she was going to have to face the fact that he could be gone.
"Ma'am can I help you?"
"Uh-my husband came in earlier d-Derek shepherd." Meredith said.
"Ah! Yes. He came in earlier and needed immediate assistance to his adnominal but a doctor fought to get a head ct where they discovered the bleed. He's now currently unconscious in the icu. There should be a doctor up there to explain more, room 507."
Meredith hazily led her body down the hallway and into room 507. When she walked in Derek was hooked up to what seemed to be a thousand machines. They were all making different sounds and all annoying. She was a doctor but in the moment she felt like a little kid on the first day of school. Lost and confused. Meredith felt like she didn't know what any of the machines were doing or why there had to be so many.
She would tell patients to ignore them, that they would get used to them but seeing the bundle of wires and tubes on the love of her life irritated her. Once the doctor noticed she was there they went on the explain that he had suffered internal bleeding and a major brain bleed but they managed to catch it in time. As Meredith knew they also explained that when experiencing such a severe trauma that there was underlying complications and there was no way of telling if he'd wake up or not.
After that was said they exited the room and Meredith inched closer to Derek. Once she stood at his bedside she reached a hand closer to Derek and stroked his face. A tear slid down her face but she refused to acknowledge or wipe it away. It wasn't supposed to be there but it was.
"Derek..." She said out loud moving her hand from his face down to his chest where she felt it rise and then lower with each breath that passed.
"Derek...you need to wake up. Zola needs you. Bailey needs you." Meredith paused for a few seconds and rested her hand on her stomach. "I-I need you. I can't raise this b-baby on my own."
"A baby?" A horse voice replies.
...
Meredith immediately Broke down, It was her husbands, He was okay.
She released a breath she didn't know she was holding and looked up at him, His tired eyes staring back at her, with confusion among them.
," A baby"? Derek repeated, His voice sounding tired and weak, But the smile on his face was bright and evident.
,"Mh-hm ", The relieved woman nodded quickly, More tears Escaping
The man in the hospital bed reached out to wipe them away," Come here", He said.
Meredith hesitated.
," Mer, I'm fine , come here".
Meredith climbed onto the hospital bed mattress, Making sure to be extra careful.
Derek kissed her head.," How long have you known"?
Mer cleared her throat, trying to get rid of the Rasp in her voice due to the emotions, but it didn't make a difference," Since I had a feeling something wasn't right, I wanted to make sure while there was a chance you were still here".
He grabbed her chin, Turning her head towards his," I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere", He smiled," Till death do us part".
His pregnant wife smiled," Till death do us part".
And with that they kissed, The lifetime They were promised to sill Awaiting for them.
