A/N : This is my first fanfiction, so sorry in advance if it sucks! It's set after 13x24.
It will focus on Merthan, but you will see other ships also :)
I stood there on my porch digging through my purse trying to find my keys. I literally just had them, but I guess being up for over 24 hasn't helped that. Between the no sleep and helping with the fire at the hospital last night, I'm exhausted. I had only gone to find and tell Nathan the news about Megan, but when I saw the corner of the hospital blow up, I knew it was going to be a long night.
"Mer?" Maggie said touching my shoulder, causing me to jump.
"I, I can't find my keys." I stammered, getting frustrated as I just had them.
"Here, I've got mine." She unlocked the door, and we both went inside and immediately put our stuff down. She gave me a concerned look, probably wanting to know if there was another reason why I was frustrated other than the keys. I figure I'll end up telling her after we see the kids and grab some food.
I follow her into the kitchen and see that the nanny had ordered pizza for lunch. Zola and Bailey are sat at the table eating, so wrapped in their own conversation, that they to not even notice me. I gave them both a hug and kiss before sitting down and grabbing my own slice.
We sat in silence for a while just eating our pizza until the nanny came in. "I put Ellis down for a nap a few minutes ago, she may still be up."
"I'll just let her sleep for now. Thanks for ordering lunch. I'm going to sleep for a couple hours, seeing it's been too long since I've seen my bed. Maggie can watch over the kids while I sleep, and you can go home. Oh, and you will probably have a good couple days off seeing as the hospital blew up and caught fire last night. I'm also probably going to being helping Owen and Amelia with whatever the need." I sighed, knowing that she had to help Owen, even if that meant bumping into Riggs a couple times. Seeing as I don't know where Nathan and I stand relationship wise, I know it will be very awkward.
The nanny nodded and walked into the living room to gather up her stuff, and I started out the kitchen but Maggie caught my arm.
"Help Owen and Amelia with what? Is she finally pregnant? Are they breaking up?" Maggie questioned.
In a serious tone, I said "Come to my room and I'll explain everything, I don't want to confuse the kids until we know for sure what's going on." She gave me a concerned look before following me up the stairs and into my room. I shut my door and just fell back onto my bed, with Maggie sitting next to me. God, I needed some sleep, hopefully sleeping on the whole Nathan and Megan thing will make it easier. I know Maggie is going to have a lot of questions so it might be a while before I sleep.
"I will probably need to help Owen and Amelia because they found Owen's sister Megan. She is alive. They are on their way to Madgon Army Medical Center, where she is being transferred and treated. Nathan knows, and he is also on his way there." I looked over at her, trying to read her expression.
"She is alive? How many years has she been missing and where has she been all these years?" I could all ready feel her prodding me with questions, some that I just didn't know the answers to.
"Yeah, she is alive, and has been missing for like 10 years. Where she was, I don't know."
"Wow." Maggie looked like she was trying to process what I just told her. "So Nathan knows, who told him and how is he?"
"I told him actually. I told Amelia I would go and find him and tell him, that's why I was looking for him at the hospital. After I told him he asked me a ton of questions I didn't know the answers too. When he was walking to his car he got caught up in his excitement and picked me up and spun me around. He felt bad afterwards when he realized he was leaving me, but I told it was fine and that I would have already been gone if it was Derek. He assured me he could drive and left." I let out a big yawn while waiting for Maggie's response. Hopefully that was enough for her for now so I could get some sleep.
Maggie looked over at me and was just silent. She was probably trying to come up with a way to comfort me. "He wouldn't just leave you, you know that, right?"
"I don't know that." I started to laugh, and Maggie gave me a very confused look. "I've been in a situation somewhat like this before actually, and the person left me, at least for a little while."
"What do you mean you have been in a situation like this before?"
"When I met Derek, he was married and I didn't know about it. We started off as just a one night stand like Nathan and I did. I told Derek that I wouldn't date him because he was my boss, and I told Nathan that I wouldn't date him because of you. Then they both chased me, and then we got happy together. Then Derek's wife showed up. Now it's Nathan's fiance showing up." I just giggled at the fact I got stuck in the same situation twice.
Maggie laughed then added "Wow, I didn't know that. Derek eventually picked you, and I think Nathan will do the same." She reassured me with a smile.
"I just hope I don't end up begging like last time." I smiled at the memory of Derek and I in the scrub room, and me telling him to "pick me, choose me, love me." Maggie looked more confused than before, and I said, "That's another story for another time."
"Uh, well you look exhausted so I'll keep an eye on the kids so you can get some rest." Maggie got up, walked to the door, and before walking out said, "Thanks for telling me about Owen's sister and I hope Nathan stays with you, you have been happier since you two started dating" She smiled and shut my door.
I have been happier since we started to date, but that was about to change. I didn't even bother to change into comfy clothes, I just wanted to sleep. Kicking of my shoes, and laying down, I instantly drifted into a peaceful slumber.
I was jarred awake after sleeping for about an hour and half when my phone rang. Damn it, I meant to turn it off so no one woke me up. Not even bothering to look at who was calling, I picked it up and sleepily said "hello."
After a moment, the person calling me spoke up. "Meredith, are you there?"
"Y-yes, is uh is Owen alright?" Amelia calling hopefully meant good news.
"Uh yeah, he is alright. He is with her now, in her room. She is still asleep, they sedated her for the flight and should wake up soon, then we will know more." Amelia sighed, knowing this wasn't easy for him.
"Thanks for the update Amelia, I'm going back to sleep now." I yawned hoping that was all she had to tell me as I wanted to go back to sleep.
"Wait, Meredith! That isn't what I called you about." She sounded more serious than before.
"It's not? Then why are you calling me?"
"Yeah, um, I needed to tell you something." She got quieter, and I got more annoyed.
"Amelia, spit it out already, I want to go back to sleep!" I snapped.
"It's, it's" She paused, making me curious as to what she had to tell me.
"Amelia, seriously tell me already."
"It's about Nathan." She replied, and silence was followed as I already know he knows about Megan, since I told him, and I told her I would tell him.
"I did tell him about Megan, he knows. He is actually on his way to you guys and should be there soon." I sighed, not really in the mood to argue with her.
"No Meredith. That's not what I was talking about. I was calling to tell you that he," She paused, sounding like she was trying to come with the right words, "he was in an accident."
"N-Nathan was in accident?" I froze, trying to process her words.
"Meredith, he was involved in a car accident on his way here." Amelia had just confirmed my fears.
