"Chapter 8-You do the crime , you do the time "

Meredith and Derek rushed into the ER to see George standing over a bed.

"Mer, brace yourself," he said quietly. Meredith walked over to the bed to see her mom lying there unconscious.

"What the hell happened?" she asked furiously

"Her cancer took a turn for the worse from what I can tell," answered Derek checking over her. "I need to get her into surgery ASAP. Do you wanna scrub in?"

Meredith just shook her head

"Okay, I understand. O'Malley, prep an OR, your scrubbing in," Derek called to George, "Trust me everything will be fine," whispered Derek as he left for the surgery.

Can you really keep that promise? Though Meredith as she headed to the call-room that she just came out of and cried her heart out.

Meredith heard the door open a couple of hours later. She saw George and Derek standing in the doorway.

"Mer," Derek whispered as he came over and sat down next to Meredith, "I'm sorry, but her cancer just spread. She's gone," Meredith took a deep breathe.

"Well, it was going to happen anyway right? I mean she did have Alztimers,"

"Mer, are you okay?" asked George,
"Ya, it's just been a long and hard day back. What time is it anyway?"

"10 at night. The Chief said that you could go home and could have the day off tomorrow,"

"Thanks George, but this is my home. I'm coming in tomorrow. So the Chief knows?"

Derek nodded.

"Well, at least she liked him. I better go. Sorry Derek, can we do it tomorrow?"

"Sure thing Mer,"

"Thanks. George, I'll see you at home?"

"I'm on-call tonight,"

"Oh, well I guess I'll be going. Thanks again you two." Meredith stood up and kissed both of them on the cheek. She opened the door and smiled "I really mean it," Meredith headed down the hallway of SG. It had truly been a hard day at work. Meredith opened the door, when someone grabbed it from her. Meredith turned around to see Derek standing there.

"We can still go to Joe's you know,"

"I would like that very much," Derek and Meredith walked over to Joe's. They both drank the night away. To drunk to drive home, the both walked back to the hospital and went to the nearest on-call room. Derek and Meredith looked into each other's eyes.

"You know, you are really beautiful. I'm sorry your first day back was not the greatest,"

Meredith laughed, "It's okay. You know, your eyes are so pretty," Derek the suddenly dove into a furious kiss.

"Lock-the-door-or else-Bailey-will-come-in," said Derek, but Meredith pushed away.

"Derek, I can't do this,"

"Mer-"

"Look Derek, I'm drunk, you're drunk. I just want to get some sleep, so I'm not totally out of it tomorrow. Bailey will kill me if I look the way I did this morning tomorrow. I'm sorry Derek. You're not taking advantage of me again. At least not tonight." Meredith got up and walked out of the on-call room. Derek flopped back down on the bed and slapped himself in the face

"God you're an idiot," he said to himself as he lay in the bed looking up at the ceiling. Meredith walked down the hallway of SG. Wow it looks a lot different at night she thought. Meredith found herself another on-call room. She opened the door to find George sleeping in the bed. Meredith laughed to herself as she climbed in the bed that was across from him. George just snored loudly. Meredith gave another laugh as she fell asleep, hoping that the next day would be better.

"Mer, Mer, MEREDITH! Wake up, we're going to be late!" Meredith felt George shake her awake

"Wh-What? OWWWW! Shit, I gotta stop drinking!"

"Ok! Do that later! C'mon Bailey's going to kill us!"

Luckily Meredith still had on her scrubs. She and George walked into the locker room right when Bailey called their names.

"Grey and O'Malley, pit. Karev, front desk. Yang, Shepherd and Montgomery. NOW MOVE PEOPLE! Oh and we're getting a new intern today. She'll be with you Yang, I'll send her up" All the interns scattered so Bailey wouldn't start yelling again.

"YES! After 3 weeks I'm finally getting some action. I don't care if it is with Satan and McDreamy or that I have to show a new kid around. I'm not at front desk with those stupid nurses!"

"Ya well, soon you'll wanna be back at the front desk. I heard Addison is on a rampage ever since Dreamy left her,"

"Shut up Spawn, you're just mad because you have to be at the front desk! But today is my day!"

"Someone had too much coffee!"

"I heard the Bambi!"

Meredith and George exploded into laughter fit as they took a left turn and while Christina took a right turn down to meet Derek and Satan.

"There you are Dr. Yang! Where were you? I needed you 5 minutes ago!"

"Sorry Dr. Shepherd, I-"

"Nevermind! I need you to prep the OR NOW!" Christina's pager went off right when Derek tuned his back. Derek glared at her.

"Sorry. Prep the OR got it!" Christina turned and ran out of the room down the hall to the elevator. Addison had just paged a 9-1-1. Christina ran out of the elevator and right into Addison.

"Where were you Dr. Yang? Check up how Ms. Wilford is doing in room 218 then prep the OR for a C-Section."

"But Dr.-"

"What?"

"I kinda have another surgery to do with Dr. Shepherd and-"

"With who?"
"Dr. Shepherd,"

"FINE! Do that, I'll just get O'Malley in here," Addison turned and stormed off.

Great now I'm on Satan's bad list along with Meredith. Christina sighed with her handful of charts and stormed off to go check on both her patients and prep two OR's.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Christina lifted her head off the keyboard to see Burke and Meredith standing over her.

"Wh-What time is it?"

"Noon,"

"SHIT! I gotta go, Shepherd is expecting me in the OR and-"

"Christina relax. Sure Shepherd was steaming mad, but I scrubbed in for you,"

"And O'Malley scrubbed in for Dr. Montgomery,"

"Shit, Bailey is going to kill me,"

"Well, ya she is. I had to show the new intern around too,
"SHIT! Looks like I'm never going to get to do another surgery again,"

"Ya, Bailey's pretty mad," Christina just looked up and Meredith "Just trying to help," said Meredith trying to defend herself.

"Look, I gotta go find Dr. Shepherd and Bailey to apologize-"

"No need to Yang, I'm right here," Christina just spun around to see Bailey walking with Derek towards her,

"Dr. Bailey, Dr. Shepherd. Look, I'm sorry Dr. Shepherd for skipping out on the surgery. I just fell asleep. I didn't get much sleep last night."

"Well Yang, your on desk duty for the rest of the month. Oh and it's the 5th isn't it? Looks like it's going to be a while." Bailey tuned and left a speechless Christina. Meredith and Burke stood there with a 'You-did-it-to-yourself' look.

"C'mon, lets all get some lunch," suggested Burke.

"No, you go ahead," said Christina, "I got a lot of catching up to do,"

"You can start with Ms. Wilford's new born. She had some complications during birth." Christina sighed a heavy sigh and got up heading towards the elevator Great...now I get to work with McDreamy and Satan in the same room. This good day turned bad thought Christina as she got into the elevator to catch up on what she missed.
