Broken Rockstar Part 2

Chapter 203

The silence was followed by several gasps...as if the oxygen in the room had disappeared...

Adelle: Oh...
Izzie: Holy mother!
Mark: Holy shit!
George: Holy Crap!

And then the chaos began...everyone rushed over to her in a panic as she stood there in a daze...not really believing this was all happening...to her...right now...without Derek...her trance was quickly broken at the sound of a loud whistle from Mark...the room grew silent again...

Mark: Now that's better!
Chief: We need a plan people!
Cristina: Ok this is the way its going to go...George grab her bags...Izzie grab her purse...Dell grab her hand...and Mark bring my car around front...the rest of you move your cars out of the driveway...you can follow us to the hospital...Mer did you call Dr. Cook?
Meredith: Yes...but Derek...
Addison: Is he on his way?
Meredith: I...I don't know...I haven't spoken to him since this morning and I can't get my call through....
Bailey: We'll keep trying...don't worry...he'll be here...he's probably in the air...
Meredith: I hope so...
Chief: The band and I will stay here and clean up the place...we'll see you guys there...
Cristina: Ok people...why are you still standing around? Move it already!

Everyone dispersed to their assignments...Dell took Meredith's hand and walked her to the door...she felt numb...it wasn't supposed to happen like this...they had it all planned out...

Dell: Are you ok Mer?
Meredith: I feel fine.
Dell: Any contractions?
Meredith: No...I feel fine...Is this really happening?
Adelle: Yes sweetie...it is...those babies are on their way...
Meredith: Adelle...can you ride with us too?
Adelle: Yes...of course I can sweetie...
Meredith: (sighs as her eyes fill with tears)...I can't do this without him you know?
Adelle: You wont have to...he'll be here...Derek wouldn't miss this for the world...hold on to your faith ok...
Meredith: Ok...

They arrived at the hospital and got Meredith settled in her private suite while she waited for Dr. Cook to arrive...it was like a studio apartment with everything they needed and more...Meredith tried her best to rest with all the monitors hooked up to her while Dell massaged her feet...Cristina sat thumbing through a magazine...George paced the floor...Izzie unpacked Meredith's things...and Adelle sat on the couch continuing to dial Derek's number...

Dell: Close your eyes Mer...imagine positive things...Derek safe and sound...his parents safe and sound...the twins safe and sound...
Meredith: (closed her eyes and took a deep breath)...Ok...
Dell: That's it...now keep breathing...deep breaths...still no contractions...
Meredith: No...but my back still aches...
Dell: Ok...make sure you tell Dr. Cook that...lay on your side and I'll rub your back...
George: Look at her...I cant believe how calm she is...
Cristina: Its called shock...it'll wear off soon...
Izzie: I would be freaking by now...totally freaking...
Cristina: Chill out you two...
George: But the babies are on the way...
Adellle: Sit down George...you're making us all dizzy...
George: But I can't sit down...I'm too excited...aren't you excited Mer...
Izzie: Of course she is...but Derek's not here...and that really sucks...what if he doesn't make it?
George: Yeah...then what?...You can't stop the babies form coming...can you?
Cristina: Put a sock in it you two...

Cristina looked up at one of the machines hooked to Meredith and noticed the numbers quickly increasing...Meredith rested her cheek against the pillows with her eyes closed ...thinking good thoughts...and trying her best to tune her two currently obnoxious good friends out...but it wasn't working...

Dell: Positive thoughts Mer...relax...
Izzie: Nope...once those babies start pushing...that's it...there's no stopping them...
George: Poor Mer...I just wish Derek would get here...and I hope his parents are ok because that would be...
Izzie: Terrible...just terrible if they...
Cristina: Ok that's it...OUT...BOTH OF YOU...OUT!
George: Huh?
Izizie: What?
Cristina: You're making her blood pressure fly off the charts...NOW OUT!
Izzie: You can't make us go...
Adelle: Maybe not...but I sure can...now you heard her...GO!
George: But...
Adelle: (puts her hands in front of their faces)...Ah...ah...ah...too late...twiddle dee and twiddle dum....off you go...
Izzie: But...
Dell: Dudes...your energy is toxic...we need to keep this a stress free zone for the babies...and Meredith...
Cristina: Go home Izzie...bake some muffins or something...and take your sidekick too...just go...we'll call you when the babies get here...
