"You passed out after Aunt Lexie and Aunt Maggie got to the hospital?" Zola asked, worriedly.

"We're you sick?"

"Did you have a brain aneurysm?"

"Did you need surgery?"

"Did you die???"

"Obviously not stupid, she's here right now"

Meredith shushed her kids. "I'll explain everything that happened. Just hold your tongues for a few minutes"

All four kids sighed and nodded their heads, before Meredith started to tell her story again.

*****************************************

Meredith's POV:

I woke up in a hospital room, in a hospital bed. I sat up, wondering where Mark and my sisters were.

I looked around to see Bailey and Christina huddled in a corner, holding what I presume was my chart. They looked worried, like they had no sweet clue what was wrong with me. And since Bailey is the best, I was worried too.

"Where's Mark?" I asked. They both turned to look at me.

"He was here, but he got paged for surgery. You looked completely fine, we just needed you to wake up before we did any tests, so we sent him off" Bailey answered.

"And we really should do tests, Mer. Your heart rate was normal, BP was normal, no increased or decreased breath sounds, no trouble breathing and nothing else was visibly wrong. You may have hit your head, but we just want to know how you were feeling before you passed out" Christina asked me.

"Why is Christina here?" I ask. I didn't mean to sound rude, but Bailey never let interns do the examinations on other interns when something could be seriously wrong.

"You and Yang are the best. Since you're down, Yang is up. Unless you want 007 George O'Malley working on you, or snarky Karev or possibly Izzie Stevens who seems pretty cozy with a heart patient" Bailey says "and not only is Christina the best intern, she's your best friend. Now are you gonna tell her how you were feeling before you ate the floor or and I gonna beat it out of you?" Her face was stern, so I nodded and sighed. "That's what I thought" she muttered under her breath.

"I felt queasy. Really queasy. And in concentrating not to barf, I got lightheaded and I...passed out" I shrug "no biggie. I don't want my sisters to worry. Can I go now?"

"We're going to run a blood test, get a head CT and an abdominal MRI, and make sure you didn't bust anything when you fell and smacked your head" Bailey ordered, as Christina got a kit to draw blood. I put out my arm for Christina to draw my blood.

"I don't think an MRI or CT are necessary. I was just queasy and dizzy, a tad lightheaded" I tried to reason with them.

"Grey, you randomly passed out and hit your head. We have no idea why you passed out, since you're currently showing no symptoms and there was no visible reason for your passing out. You could've hurt your head and something could be seriously wrong" Bailey was on a rampage.

"Fine, do whatever tests you feel like doing" I mumble.

"Yang, go run the blood work and see if CT and MRI are clear. I'm going to make sure the rest of my interns are not raising holy hell in the hospital while someone from neuro comes for a consult on Meredith's head" Dr.Bailey didn't even pause before leaving.

"Meredith, you really could be sick" Christina sighed, before she left to run the blood work.

Shortly after she left, I heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was Mark or Maggie or Lexie, I yelled for them to come in. Instead, it was Derek.

"I was paged here for a consult?" He asked me, stepping into the room and shutting the door.

"Bailey wants you to check me out, since I smacked my skull off the floor and all" I sigh.

"Well" Derek says "there's slight bruising, which is to be expected, your pupils look fine. Follow my finger" he moved his finger in a line, and I followed it with my eyes.

"Everything checks out, you seem fine. Get a head CT to be sure, but a few aspirins should fix any pain you have" he pauses before leaving "Meredith, I am so glad you're okay" suddenly, it felt like it was a million degrees. My mouth dried up and my hands felt clammy.

"Me too" I croaked.

"I really hope you feel better" he whispers, before pressing a kiss to my temple and standing up. I feel dizzy all over again, but this time, it's because of Derek. Not because of nausea.

I love him, but he chose Addison. He doesn't love me. He made his own bed, and now I have Mark.

I just can't bring myself to tell him all of this.

I don't know how long he sat on the chair by my bed, holding my hand, and asking me various questions. Did I feel any pain? Did I feel lightheaded? Did I feel dizzy? Do I know how long before my blood work was back?

I knew he just didn't want to leave me alone. He didn't want me by myself, and I didn't want to be by myself. I was glad he stayed.

Suddenly, Bailey and Christina barge into the room holding some paper.

"No need for an MRI but we'll do the CT to be sure your head is clear" Bailey says.

"We still don't know why she passed out though!" Derek argued.

"The blood test explains it all" Christina tells him.

"What is wrong with Dr.Grey?" He asks Bailey.

"Shepard, get out. I need to speak with Meredith who is a patient" Bailey barks.

He sighs, defeated, and leaves right after shooting me a worried look.

"So, what's wrong with me?" I ask, annoyed.

"You haven't eaten today" Bailey states.

"So?"

"Meredith, your pregnant" Christina tells me.

A/n- OMG PLOT TWIST WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NOW?!?!?!

I love this book. It's drama and suspense and love triangles.

It's greys anatomy in a nut shell.
