Never Let Go
Chapter 1 – Fire Escape
Meredith felt a presence behind her, she turned and saw Addison frowning at her, "I hate being pregnant."
Meredith laughed, "You love it."
"I do." Addison sighed, "But not the sickness. I almost threw up in surgery this morning."
Meredith grinned, "Is it safe to kiss you?"
"Yes." Addison said, leaning forward and kissing her fiancée tenderly, Meredith moaned softly and Addison smirked,
"I love you."
Addie pressed another kiss to Mere's lips, "I love you too."
"Lexie's with Cristina could you perhaps… save her? I have a feeling Cristina will be the new Nazi."
"I'll see what I can do." Addie said, she smiled and left, Meredith went back to the chart she had been reviewing, three sets of footsteps nervously toward her. She turned to face her three interns.
"I have five rules. Memorize them." She said, "Rule number one, don't bother sucking up, I already hate you. That's not gonna change." She indicated the nurse's station covered in pagers and papers, "Trauma protocols, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you. You answer every page at a run, a run. That's rule number two." Meredith was walking now and her interns scrambled after her,
They moved along the fly-over and Meredith checked her watch, "Your first shift starts now and lasts… 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain." Mark looked on with amusement and followed her too, "You run labs, you write orders, you work every second night until you drop, and you don't complain."
"I like you bossing." Mark said with a smirk, "Boss more."
Meredith glared at him as they came to an on call room, "On call rooms. Sleep when you can, where you can." She said, "But not with anybody. Not attendings, especially not this attending," she indicated Mark, "Sleeping with whores like Dr. Sloan, not a good idea. Where was I?"
Mark smirked and walked away, Meredith started to speak again, "Rule number three. If I'm sleeping, do not wake me unless a patient's actually dying and the dying patient better not be dead when I get there, because not only will you have killed someone, you will have woken me for no good reason. Are we clear?" an intern raised her hand nervously, "Yes?"
"That was four rules. You said five."
"Rule number five, when I move, you move." She walked passed them, they followed quickly, practically tripping over their own feet,
She stopped as she walked into a side corridor where her fellow second year residents sat on abandoned gurney's, "And lastly this area, is for residents only." The interns stared at her, "Go!"
Alarmed they scrambled off, Meredith turned around; Cristina and Alex were giving the retreating interns death stares,
"Who has baby Grey as an intern?" Asked Alex,
"I do." Cristina frowned, "Ergh, I hate them."
"You don't hate them. You hate you." Meredith said, "And be nice to Lexie,"
"I'm not giving her special treatment. I'm not the special treatment resident."
"Did you guys all use Bailey's rules?"
"Yes. It was hideous." Izzie said, "I feel like a fraud."
Alex just smirked at them all, "I rocked it. I think I'm the new Nazi."
"Oh, you are not the new Nazi." Cristina scoffed, "No way,"
Izzie grinned and turned to George, "How was your vacation?" she asked, "Cause mine was... I didn't do much. I hung out alone..."
"You did not." Meredith said,
"Well I didn't spend time with you. You and Addison were all over each other; frankly it was disturbing, even Sloan thought so,"
Meredith laughed, "You seem to be spending a lot of time with him."
Izzie blushed, "I am not!"
"You so are."
"Dude," Alex said, "Wasn't he your date on Callie O'Malley day?"
Izzie glared at him, "Speaking of which," She said to George, "That was the last time that I saw you, the day of your wedding. You left for your honey moon, Mere and Addison went to L.A., Cristina did… I don't know what she did, but she didn't do anything with me, and Alex took a road trip to see Ava without me."
"I did not go to see Ava." Alex said, "And her name's Rebecca. And I didn't go see her. I just drove in that direction."
"So how was your honeymoon George?"
Lexie ran along the corridor, "Um, Meredith... I really need to talk to you." She said with wide eyes,
A group of interns walked around the corner toward them on sat next to Alex, "Hey, this is for residents only. No interns." Cristina called to them,
"Yeah."
"Yeah, get outta here!"
"Babies."
"Yeah, go away."
"007's in training."
"Seriously."
One of Cristina's interns motioned at Lexie, "I guess I should be going, too."
"No, Lexie we didn't mean you!" Meredith called,
"No, I'm an intern." She said,
"Wait. What did you want to tell me?"
Cristina groaned, "Uh, is this how it's gonna be all year?" she asked, "The two of you being all sisterly and crap?"
Meredith gave her a look, "Shut up."
Lexie walked alone having separated from her fellow interns. She was freaking out; really freaking out, Derek, the guy she'd been kind of seeing was here, at the hospital, her boss.
"Hey," Derek had found her; he pulled her into an empty on call room,
"Doctor-"
"This morning it was Derek."
Lexie blushed, "Well that was before I knew you're my boss."
"Your bosses boss, and besides, there's nothing stopping it. Have you seen your residents, Yang is engaged to Burke, Stevens is seeing Sloan, Grey is getting married to Montgomery…"
"Exactly, I can't be another intern sleeping with her attending,"
Derek laughed, "Ok, we can talk, date, and stop the sex for a while."
Lexie blushed again, "Meredith won't respect me."
"Meredith?"
"She's my sister," Derek paled, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…" he sighed, "Ok, let's do this your way. We'll pretend it never happened."
He left and Lexie frowned after him, her pager started to beep, "Oh crap!" she ran off,
That night Meredith lay with Addison on the couch enjoying some wine and talking about the new interns, they were interrupted however by a knock at the door,
"I'll get it." Izzie said, moving to the door holding a spoon and a jar of peanut butter, she opened the door, "uhh, Lexie right?"
"Yeah." smiled Lexie, "Hi, uh, Dr. Stevens."
"Izzie,"
"Ok, sorry, Izzie."
Iz stepped back ad let her in, "Mere, you're sister's here." She called, "They're in the living room," Izzie pointed the way then moved to the stairs,
Lexie walked through to the living room, Mere and Addison were sitting up now, "Hey,"
"Hey Lexie," Mere smiled, "What's up?"
"Uh... I was wondering if that offer… to move here was uh, still available."
Addison looked at Mere oddly but shrugged, "Fine with me,"
Meredith smiled, "When do you want to bring your stuff over?"
