Disclaimer: We don't own Grey's.
Summary: Sequel To 'A Little Something Called Forever'. Meredith and Derek are married. The former interns are now residents. We're not sure on all the details yet, but look for disaster, chaos, a huge life threatening situation in the hospital, and lots of Mer/Der amazingness.
Author's Note: We're gambling here. We just wanted a sequel. So review. Review with thoughts, opinions and ideas. Review.
The first chapter here is from George's perspective. We're still not sure why.
They say the honeymoon ends. Married couples fall into a routine. They lose a little bit of that fire. They burn out. But not the Shepherds. If anyone would defy the typical concept of marriage, of course it would be Meredith and Derek.
It's been two years now, and they're still as passionate about each other as ever. What they have is intense, firey and all consuming. Maybe it's because they were apart for so long. Maybe it's because they always had to fight for each other.
Maybe they're just so in love they have something that goes deeper than love. Something the rest of can't understand.
Meredith and Cristina still call him McDreamy, and he still gets soft faced and googly eyed when he sees her, in sweats, at work, anytime. They fight and yell, and have sex, and sometimes they hate each other so much, I think they'll kill each other.
But it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, they're Meredith and Derek. And that's love.
We're residents now. Me, Meredith and Cristina, at least. Izzie and Alex moved to Los Angeles, so Alex could pursue plastics.
So now, Bailey has joined the ranks of attending physicians at Seattle Grace, Cristina has gotten herself engaged to Dr. Burke, and Meredith, of course, is playing house with her husband.
They live in Meredith's house now. I've since moved out. And in with Callie. It's strange how things just sort of happen. Sometimes I feel like the five of us are unbreakable. That maybe if you go through everything that we went through together as interns, it binds you for life.
Maybe I'm just talking nonsense. But I do know that when I lock eyes with Meredith or Cristina, whether it's at the hospital, or Joe's or in the O.R, I know nothing can tear up Bailey's last five interns.
My pager beeps interrupting my musings on life, love and friendship. It's the nurse's station. As I walk there, I pass Dr. Shepherd. "George." He says warmly. "Still on for tonight?"
I nod. Guy's night in Seattle. I go to Joe's with Derek and Preston, while Meredith, Cristina and sometimes even Callie, do God knows what women do.
Usually they're just at a different table at Joe's.
"You paged me?" I ask Olivia, arriving at her station.
"Yea." She says, nodding. "Izzie Stevens is on the line."
"Iz?" I pick up, wondering why she called me at the hospital.
"George!" she exclaims. "Guess where I am?"
I don't say anything, because I'm almost afraid to.
"LAX!" she says. "And guess what's on my finger?"
I decide not to answer this time either. "An engagement ring! Alex proposed!" She's doing that Izzie thing, where she's so happy she's not even making any sense.
"So why are you at the airport?"
Izzie laughed over the airwaves. "Didn't Chief Webber tell you? We're coming back to Seattle!"
See? The five of us. Unbreakable.
I look up and see Derek, brushing hair out of Meredith's face. "Mer!" I call. She doesn't hear me. She never hears anyone when Derek is talking to her. Only Derek.
I walk right over to them and tap her on the shoulder. "Izzie and Alex are at LAX. They're coming back to Seattle."
I start to walk away to check on a patient. "And?" she calls after me, knowing there's something more.
"They're getting married."
She laughs, and I hear her murmur something to Derek. They're almost perfect. Perfectly happy, at the very least.
