Wow threatening to kill off a character really works, I should try it more often! Thanks for all the reviews :) Sorry about the wait I have been crazy busy. And just a warning this chapter is really bad it nearly sent me insane trying to write it I just couldn't get it to flow so I apologies in advance for it suckiness and shortness..

P.S. i know nothing about medical stuff so i hope it's ok.



"How is she?" Addison asked jogging over to where Derek and Mark were standing.

"I... I don't know she was seizing, but they just took her in there and I don't know what's happening, I don't know if she is ok" Derek rambled.

"Oh... I'm sure she will be fine Derek" Addison said placing a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him. Her eyes flicked to Mark, Mark could tell Addison didn't really believe what she was saying. At that moment a nurse came up to Derek.

"Excuse me sir I need you to fill out these forms" she said passing Derek a clipboard with forms attached to it.

"Ah ok" Derek looked at the forms for a moment. "I don't know any of this"

"We should get Ellis" Addison said.

"Really Addi?" Mark asked knowing how much trouble Ellis would probably cause.

"She is going to find out any way and she is her mother"

"True" Mark said nodding. Addison took the clipboard from Derek and walked up to the Nurses station.

"Can I help you?"

"Hi, can you please page Dr Ellis Grey" Addison asked.

"Dr Grey is very busy"

"I know but the girl we just brought in is Meredith Grey, Ellis's daughter so I think she would like to know"

"Oh, ok ill page her"

"Thank you" Addison said, walking back over to Derek and Mark.

"Should we call Cristina?" Derek asked Addison.

"When we have something to tell her. Let's go sit down Derek, standing here isn't going to help"

"OK." Derek nodded following Mark and Addison and sitting down. The three were sitting in silence when the, double doors flew open, revealing a very angry Ellis Grey.

"Who paged me? I was in the middle of surgery" Ellis growled as she stormed up to the nurse's station.

"It, was me Dr Ellis, your daughter was just admitted" The nurse said meekly.

"What Meredith is here? What did that girl do!?" Ellis said angrily. Addison stood from her seat and walked over to Ellis.

"Dr Grey" Ellis turned around. "We brought Meredith in" Addison said gesturing to Mark and Derek who were walking over to join her.

"Why what happened?" Ellis asked.

"We think someone spiked her drink" Derek answered.

"What!!" Ellis mumbled something else as she disappeared behind the double doors. Derek sighed. Not knowing what was happening to Meredith and if she was ok, was killing him. They all sat back down to wait for news.


Half an hour later Ellis came back out looking pissed off.

"Is she ok?" Derek asked standing up as soon as he saw her.

"No she isn't, she is having multiple convulsions and respiratory problems."

"Oh God" Derek said, his eyes growing wide in horror.

"How… I have to go" Ellis was cut off when her pager beeped. "I have to go" she said before sprinting off behind the double doors.

"Oh God I can't believe this, it's all my fault" Derek sank back into the chair and buried his face in his hands.

"It's all my fault" Derek mumbled to himself.

"Derek it isn't your fault" Addison said softly

"It is!" Derek snapped. "I know how sensitive she is I should have just called her and none of this would have happened" Derek stood up. "Because I didn't call her some bastard spiked her drink and look where she is now!" Derek yelled. "I...I can't" Derek shook his head and stormed away from them.

"Derek!" Addison called, about to go after him.

"Just leave him" Mark said placing a hand on Addison 's shoulder to stop her from following Derek.

"I can't believe this is happening again" Addison said sitting down. Mark wrapped and arm around her and she rested her head against his chest.

"It isn't the same Addi"

"But she..."

"It's different, this time she had Derek"

"I guess… do you think she will be ok?" Addison asked looking up at Mark.

"Definitely, Ellis will make sure Meredith is ok just so she can lecture her about her behavior"

"That's probably true" Addison said smiling slightly. "I should call Cristina and tell her what's happening." Addison said pulling out her cell.

"I'll go check on Derek" Mark stood and walked out of the hospital.


Mark found Derek leaning against one of the hospital wall staring into the night.

"Derek come inside its freezing out here" Mark said, tucking his hands into his jacket pocket. "Derek it wasn't your fault"

"It was" Derek said through clenched teeth.

"So you spiked her drink?"

"I might as well have, she wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me!"

"She would have, it's what Meredith does, when she's upset or angry she goes out and gets dunk and does inappropriate things with inappropriate guys and gets hurt."

"What?" Derek asked "I didn't know" The two men stood in silence for a few minutes before Mark spoke again.

"Your falling for her aren't you?"

"Yeah, I think so" Derek admitted.

"Can we go back inside before I freeze"

"Yeah, Ok" Derek and Mark walked back into the waiting room.

"Oh hey" Addison greeted. "I called Cristina she is going to come by after school." Derek nodded as he sat back down.


"Family for Meredith Grey?" They heard a doctor in his mid forties call, half an hour later. Derek, Mark and Addison stood and hurried over to the doctor.

"How is she? Can we see her?" Derek asked urgently.

"Where's Dr Grey?" Addison asked wondering why Ellis wasn't talking to them.

"My name is Dr Andrews, Dr Grey's in surgery. The drug Meredith was given is called gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid or GHB the mixture of the drug and alcohol increased her reaction, this is what caused the seizures and convulsions, but unfortunately it also caused respiratory and cardiac problems, we had to restart her heart and ventilate her."

"But she is ok right?" Derek asked. He felt his chest tightening and his breathing became rapid.

"I'm afraid Meredith slipped into a coma. There is an 80% chance that she will regain consciousness within a week with no brain damage"

"What...no...I... Oh God… I have to see her" Derek said frantically as he rubbed his hand through his hair.

"Right this way sir" Dr Andrews indicated for them to follow him. The doctor led them through the double doors and down a long hall. Mark could see tears welling in Addison 's eyes, he took her hand and squeezed it.

"It's gonna be ok Addi" He whispered. The doctor stopped outside of room 294.

"I will be back to check on her in a little while, if you need anything just ask a nurse to page me"

"Thank you Doctor" Mark said. Dr Andrews nodded and left the three alone. Derek slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside. When he saw Meredith his stomach turned and felt like he might throw up.

"Meredith" he said in a hushed voice as he hurried to her side, he dropped to her side, kneeling on the floor and took her small hand in his.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry Mer" Derek apologized over and over. "Please wake up you have to wake up I'm here for you now, you have to make it through" Derek pleaded. He hated seeing Meredith this way she looked so small and fragile. When Addison saw her friend she was overwhelmed with sadness.

"Oh Mark, look at her" Addison sobbed. Mark wrapped his arms around and she buried her face in his chest a she continued to cry. Addison stayed in Mark embrace until she stopped crying.

"I'm going to get Derek a chair" Addison said sniffing.

"OK" Mark said releasing her from his arms. Whenever something bad happened Addison always turned into the mothering type and tried to look after everyone, Mark new it was just her way of copying. Addison crossed to the other side of the room and grabbed one of the cushioned chairs; she carried it back over to Derek.

"Here, sit" Derek obeyed Addison and sat on the chair scooting it closer to so he could rest his head on the bed.

"I'm going to go get us some coffee and then see if I can find out anything else" Addison kissed Mark on the cheek and disappeared from the room.

Mark sat down in one of the other chairs, he didn't know what to do or say so he opted for just sitting in silence. Fifteen minutes later Addison returned carrying three cups of coffee.

"Ellis has two more back to back surgeries so she won't be free for at least another ten hours."

"Why doesn't she have someone else do them her daughter is in a coma for god sakes!" Derek shouted.

"Keep your voice down Derek this is a hospital" Addison chided as she passed Derek his coffee.

"Sorry, thanks" Derek took the coffee from Addison. Addison passed Mark his coffee and checked her watch.

"It's nearly five thirty"

"I'm staying here" Derek said firmly.

"I know, we can bring you a change of clothes and you can just use our notes so you don't fall behind in class."

"Ok yeah thanks" Derek said staring at Meredith.

"We will be back in a little while" Addison said as her and Mark left hand in hand.


Derek had his head rested against the wall and he was just about to doze off when he heard someone come into the room. He opened his eyes and saw who he assumed was Cristina.

"Oh hi" he greeted sitting up.

"Hi"

Derek couldn't believe the day had past so fast he hadn't left Meredith's side. Cristina walked around to the other side of the bed and sat down in a plastic chair.

"What… um what have they said?" Cristina asked after a few minutes of silence.

"The drug caused seizures and respiratory and cardiac problems, she crashed and they had to resuscitate her, but she slipped into a coma."

"Oh…do they know when she will wake up?"

"They said she should wake up within a week but.."

"But?"

"But there is a chance that she...that she won't ever wake up" As Derek spoke he felt like he was going to throw up again, the thought of never hearing Meredith laugh again or never seeing her smile again was

"Oh"
