Bright and Shiny

Chapter 3

"George O'Malley, Isobel Stevens, Alexander Karev, Cristina Yang, and Meredith Shepherd. You're all with me." She barks out and stalks out not waiting for any reactions. All the interns run out chasing behind her while she starts to talk.

" I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up, I already hate you, that's not gonna change. On call rooms. Attendings hog them, sleep when you can, where you can, which brings me to rule number three, if I'm sleeping, don't wake me, unless your patient is actually dying. Rule number four, the dying patient better not be dead when I get there, not only would you have killed someone, you would have also woke me for no good reason, we clear? Yes, I know that's only 4. Rule number five. When I move, you move."

Her first patient's parents had questions. Questions, she on her first day of this job in a hospital she had no clue how to navigate through. She did make a mental note as to where the Head of Neurosurgeries' office was when she passed by. That would come in handy later when she needed a nap and there was no way she was going to sleep on a stiff hard on call room bed when he had a big comfy private couch in his office. Finding Bailey was an easier task.

"Katie's parents have questions. Do you talk to them, or do I ask Burke?" Meredith asked.

"No, Burke's off the case, Katie belongs to the new attending now, the other Dr. Shepherd, he's over there." She replied nonchalantly while pointing. Not realizing that our names are not just a coincidence.

Meredith takes a few steps in that direction. She stops dead at how amazing he looks in his dark navy blue scrubs that matches his eyed. Banned Banned Banned she reminds her self as her eyes widen and she starts to turn to go. Porny thoughts of the attending on her case are bad. He glances her way, sees her and chases after her into the stairwell.

"Dr. Shepherd" she replies while giving him a stern look that screamed. 'Be professional'

"Dr. Shepherd? This morning and the past 8 years it was Derek. Now it's Dr. Shepherd. Last night there was no name at all." He laughs with that smirking cocky grin.

"Dr. Shepherd, I am your intern. You are my attending. And we are not talking about last night. Banned remember" She adds in a huff, with her own teasing smirk.

"I'm your boss, you can't ban me. You have to do what I say." I nod as I slowly advance towards her backing her up against the stairwell wall.

"Stop looking at me like that and no touching."

"Like what? And I like the touching."

"Like I'm your wife and you've seen me naked"

"But you are my wife and I have seen you naked. Many many many times."

"Derek"

"Meredith"

"You are on my case, the parents have questions. We can't be Derek and Meredith married couple right now. We have to be Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Shepherd. Which is going to get confusing, and I can't believe nobody has put it together yet. You wear a wedding ring, I wear a wedding ring set. Your name is Shepherd, my name is Shepherd. We both start today, these people are kind of stupid to not get it instantly." Meredith babbles on trying her hardest not to grab him and do naughty things to him in the very public stairwell.

"Okay, first of all you're always my wife and we are always a married couple. I do understand you though. Right now I need to be your teacher on your case and you need to be my intern." He said lovingly while stroking the side of her cheek. He backed away and slowly opened the door to let her out ahead of him.

"Lead the way to the patient's room, Dr. Shepherd." he tried to say in his most professional stern voice.

"Yes, Dr. Shepherd" she flirted and winked back.
