Meredith isn’t sure she ever realized how intrusive the sound of beeping monitors could be until now. Sitting hunched over in this stereotypically uncomfortable chair, every beep makes her flinch, and every flinch makes her muscles throb. It’s amazing how much one’s body can atrophy in four days mostly spent sprawled on cold, unforgiving dirt, rising only to check the vital signs of the person lying next to her. In spite of her own protesting body, she checked far more frequently than necessary, certain that this time-this time-Lexie’s pulse would have stopped, and she would have no way to bring it back. No way to save the little sister to whom she owes twenty-three years of protection

Oh man. Thank you so much for writing this!! I really needed it in a way I did not know I did. I really love how tender it was and still so perfectly them. Yay for you also being our first fill! Will edit post ASAP!

This is perfect and gorgeous! Thank you so much! I especially love this:

the little sister to whom she owes twenty-three years of protection.

And this:

“We got out,” she continues, more to herself than her sister. “We survived. You can’t survive in the woods and not make it out of a hospital in Iowa. That’s tacky.”

That's such a very Meredith way of urging Lexie to get better.
