Conversation's in the Dark (Merhayes)

Now She Know's

Still pounding on his chest I hear Bailey yell "what do we go- Meredith?" I calm down a little at the sound of a familiar voice. "Bailey! It's Hayes he was talking to me and then was unconscious in bed." I say as we get wheeled in to trama 1 "you better have both had clothes on when he became unconscious." Bailey said. I get off of Hayes and immediately grab the defibrillator "charge 250 clear" I yell ignoring Bailey's comment. "Charge 300 clear" I shock him 3 more times. "I think we lost him Meredith." Bailey said but deep down I knew we hadn't and that I had to try one more time. "Charge 350! Clear" I yell still ignoring Bailey. "We have a steady rthym." Cormac gasps and looks around confused as I put the oxygen mask on him. "It's okay it's okay I'm right here." I say trying to calm him. He's still looking around. "Babe it's me. You are okay I'm right here." Bailey looks at me confused as well "when the hell did you start calling him babe?" I ignore her. He reaches for my hand so I give it to him and he squeezes it tight. "You're okay you're gonna be fine." He looked at me worried and said "Sto dicendo questo in italiano quindi so che altro sa cosa sto dicendo. Meredith, sto morendo? la mia incisione è infetta? se muoio promettimi che ti prenderai cura dei ragazzi, a loro piaci. mi piaci. hai preso la mia nota?" I look at him as a tear rolls down my cheek. "What did he say?" Bailey said I ignore her and lean down placing my head on his chest to give him some form of a hug. "Okay page shepherd he's speaking Italian." I move my head to look up at Bailey. "Miranda we both had our clothes on I was getting ready for bed and walked out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth to see him unconscious. He said he thinks his incision is infected and that he likes me a lot. He is bi-lingual. Bailey, he speaks Italian. I just started calling him babe" Bailey's face fell a little as I said that. "I'm sorry Meredith I- I- I" I cut her off "Bailey it's fine please just fix what ever is wrong with him so we can go home." I lied to Bailey. He didn't say that well he did but he said more than just that. His exact words were "I'm saying this in Italian so I know what else knows what I'm saying. Meredith, am I dying? Is my incision infected? If I die promise me you'll take care of the boys, they like you. I like you. Did you read my note?"
Bailey nods and walks over to Cormac "okay doctor Hayes I'm going to examine your incision site and ribs. This might hurt a little but it could help us see what's wrong." I look at Bailey and say "Bailey, he's a doctor. He can see what your doing and doesn't need a play-by-play." She ignores me. Bailey lifts up his shirt and all we see is his incision site. pink inflamed and oozing yellow-green stuff. "Sepsis" his incision site is very infected. Cormac shoots up and pukes all over his lap. "Page Richard let's get him to the OR. Meredith say good bye. He's going to be okay we just need to debride the incision and he will be in the hospital for a few days or weeks." Bailey said. I take his hand pull it to my face and kiss it. I then say "lucha por mí cormac, te necesito aquí. Tengo algo que decirte cuando salgas de la cirugía. Quiero abrazarme contigo, quiero esa familia de la que hablamos, así que lucha, por mí, por los chicos, lucha." Bailey rolls him out of the room bringing him into the elevator. Earlier I said "fight for me Cormac, I need you here. I have something to tell you when you get out of surgery, I want to cuddle with you. I want that family we talked about, so fight, fight for me, the boys, fight." But no one else in the room knew that besides Cormac and I.

"Hey Bella, it's Meredith I don't know if Cormac has told me about you but I need to talk to you."

I told Bella Cormac's sister though the phone.

"Yes Cormac has told me he likes you, what's up? Is everything okay?"

"Um not really. Cormac got beat up the other day and had a surgery did he tell you that?"

"Yes we talked about it he said he was cut open chest to stomach."

"Okay good. Yes he was. Today I found him unconscious in bed. He has sepsis, so the doctors are cleaning out his incision right now in the OR but sepsis, I'm sure you know can be deadly. I was wondering if you were okay with keeping the boys for a few weeks. I know it's a lot to ask but I need to help Cormac and he won't be able to do much. If you can't that's fine I can find someone else to watch them. Cormac is going to be in the hospital for a few weeks and when he gets home he will have to take it very easy."

"That's horrible. I can keep the boys they have extra clothes here and stuff already so we won't need to come up to get anything. Please make sure Cor is okay. Meredith thank you. Thank you for calling me and letting me know what is happening but most of all thank you for making my brother happy again."

"No bella thank you."

Bella hung up the phone. I needed to tell Maggie what was happening and ask if she would be okay with watching the kids for a few weeks. I walk out side for some fresh air. As I get outside I puke in a bush. I really didn't like that pizza. I sit down on the bench and put my hand on my stomach.

"I need a gurney stat!!! Doctor Grey can you hear me?"
