Blunder

Soon after Meredith opened her eyes they closed again and she went to sleep. The doctors and Derek figured she was exhausted and needed rest.

When Derek stepped out of the room to get some air he got a call from one of his secretaries at DC.

"Dr. Shepherd?"

"Yes?"

"I'm just calling to ask how your wife is, i'm so sorry about what happened."

"She's still in bad shape but doing better. Thanks"

"Yea no problem, when will you be free? You have an upcoming meeting with the president."

"Cancel that."

"What?"

"Cancel all of it, I quit."

Derek was mad that he used his wife, that was in the hospital, to keep him on the phone and ask about a meeting. He blamed himself and DC for what happened to Meredith.

He had no one to blame since the driver lost control and Meredith couldn't do anything, so he blamed himself.

After having the most tiring day Derek fell asleep on the couch next to Meredith.

After taking a short nap he went home and showered. He got dressed and on the way out he stared at himself in the mirror, then his pager went off.

"Meredith: 911"

Dereks heart dropped upon reading the page and he ran out of the house and drove to the hospital.

'What if she's dead, what if she's in a coma, what if-'

Dereks mind was full of these thoughts as he pulled into the hospital parking lot. He ran inside and looked for her room. There was no one running in or out so that was a good sign.

"What happened?" He asked Bailey who was standing outside, leaning against the wall.

Bailey simply nodded towards Meredith and when he turned he saw her staring at him with a smile on her face.

"Hey you" Meredith said with a smile on her face

"Hey" he replied as he walked over to her

He kissed her and held her hand.

"Sorry if I worried you with that page but I wanted you to see her." Owen said

"Don't ever scare me like that Mer."

"I'll try my best." she said as she hugged him and held him tightly.

"Derek, Derek!"

Derek groaned and woke up, then he realized that it was all a dream. He was still on the couch sleeping next to Meredith.

He looked over at Meredith and she hadn't changed.

"Your mom's here." Callie said as she shook Derek to wake him up.

Dereks mother slowly walked into the room and her face turned sad and shocked when she saw Meredith.

"Oh my god."

"What are you doing here?" Derek asked

"Amelia told me what happened, I thought you could use some company."

She walked over to him and hugged him tightly. She felt him start to cry in her arms and held him tighter.

"I can't imagine what you must be going through right now."

"I can't loose her, I just can't." Derek said with his voice breaking

He pulled away from his mother and sat down next to her with his face in his hands.
