This is kinda based on what happened to Callie, just thought of some merder fluff lol (set in mid season 5)
Meredith was doing some charts when Bailey informed her of a trauma coming in. She jogged to the pit and met the ambulance with Bailey. "24 year old male, passed out in a club." The paramedic said. They wheeled the patient quickly into a trauma bay. "Page neuro." Meredith called out as she noticed his head wound.
Derek came running in. "What do we got?" He asked. "24 year old male, collapsed in a club, obvious head trauma. Witnesses say he slammed his head on a table." Bailey said. Derek flashed his penlight in the patients eyes and he groaned. "Sir? Can you hear me?" Meredith asked as she stood over him.
The patient shot up in his bed. "Sir, calm down. You're in the hosprial." Bailey tried. The patient swung his fist out blindly, catching Meredith right on her cheek. She staggered back. "Mer! You okay?" Derek asked as he sedated the patient and came over.
Meredith was hunched over the counter, holding herself up. "Aside from a probable broken nose I'm fine." Meredith said as she turned around and faced him, holding her hand under her nose to stop the blood from going everywhere.
"Damn Grey! Shepherd, take her to an exam room, I'll be there in a sec." Bailey said. Derek wrapped an arm around her waist and gently guided her out of the trauma bay and into an empty exam room. He helped her up into the table and got some gauze and tape, carefully placing the gauze under her now bruised and bloody nose and taping it to her cheeks on each side.
"Alright Grey, I paged plastics and ortho, their on their way." Bailey said as she came in. "How you feeling?" She asked. Derek held her small hand in his and rubbed her back soothingly. "Fine. Little bit of a headache but I'm fine." Meredith replied. "You hit your head?" Derek asked alarmingly.
Meredith nodded. "I want a CT." Derek said. "Der-." Meredith started. "You're getting a ct." he insisted sternly. Meredith looked to Bailey for help. "I can't help you here, Grey. He's my boss. And your overprotective boyfriend. Take it up with him." Bailey said as she held her hands up in the air with a smile.
Meredith rolled her eyes as Callie and Mark came In. "Damn Big Grey, what happened to you?" Mark asked. "Our patient was high." Bailey explained. Mark and Callie poked and prodded around her nose for a while before comign to a conclusion. "Defentely broken, but you won't need surgery." Callie said as she as gently as possible wrapped bandage around Merediths nose. "Great." Meredith said. "I'll give you some meds to take home for the pain." Mark said as he started writing a prescription.
"Grey, after your ct, take a few days off." Bailey instructed. Meredith nodded, suddenly feeling too tired to argue. "Let's get that CT now." Derek said as he helped Meredith off the table. She leaned heavily on him as they made their way to the CT machine.
He helped her on the table and gave her a kiss on the forehead before walking into the scan room. "What happened to Dr Grey?" The scan tech, issac asked. "Oh, a patient was high. Just a broken nose but I wanted to make sure she's okay." Derek explained as the scans popped up. He read them and sighed in relief when there wasn't anything wrong.
When he and issac went back to get Meredith, They chuckled when they heard her soft snores, most likely due to the drugs Mark gave her. Figuring she'd want to go home and not stay overnight, Derek made the choice of lifting her small body into his arms. She unconsciously adjusted to his body and wrapped her arms around her neck, her head resting on his shoulder and wrapped her legs around his waist. She sighed softly in contentment, and Derek could feel her breath tickle his neck.
Derek as quietly and carefully as possible placed her in the car and climbed into the drivers seat. He wasn't surprised she hadn't woken up yet. She sleeps like a log. He started driving home, sneaking adoring glances at his sleeping girlfriend every so often.
When he pulled into the driveway of her-their house, he turned off the ignition and made his way to Merediths side. He opened the door and gently picked her up. That's when he realized he would have a tough time opening the door with her in his arms.
Suddenly the door opened, and Derek had never been more grateful for Merediths roommates. "What happened?" George whispered in concern. "A patient was high and got aggressive. She's okay, just a broken nose." Derek explained quietly. "Okay." He said. Derek nodded and went to their room.
He carefully placed her in the bed and took off her shoes. She curled up into the blankets. Derek climbed in bed beside her and she moved back against his chest. He wrapped an arm protectively around her waist and kissed her neck, then inhaling her intoxicating scent. He pulled the covers up more and closed his eyes. "Love you." Meredith mumbled sleepily. "I love you too Mer." Derek said with a soft smile before drifting off to sleep.
