Author's note: This is my first fan fiction. Honestly i hate the way MerDer meets and gets together so I tried to share how It would have been if i was the director and not SHONDA RHIMES, who is so mercilessly killing everyone like she was a serial killer! This is just sort of a prologue. I shall upload the next chapter soon. I really want to become a writer so please leave your reviews.
p.s. : English is not my mother-tongue so feel free to point out any grammatical errors. Also I am neither Catholic nor American so if i make any technical errors related to such things, please point out.
"Good morning!" she said sleepily to the man lying beside her. He wrapped his arms around her tighter in response. "mmm…" he groaned ,inhaling his favorite lavender scent of her hair. " Wake up Derek!",she nudged him on the ribs with her elbow. " Why ? It's our day off! ", he complained. "Yes, because we have to be there for Zola's recitation this noon. And then we need to take the kids Christmas shopping . So you really need to wake up RIGHT NOW ! " , she screamed.
About an hour later Meredith felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. She smiled n leaned into his chest, meeting his eyes in the mirror. "Who would have thought ?"she asked . " who would have thought ." he agreed , reveling the fact that Ten years ago, when they first met , both of them had no plans to settle down in life, let alone with each other.
And yet today , here they were, getting ready to visit Their daughter's school together . They were proud parents of two children, 5 year old Zola Ellis Grey-Shepherd and 2 year old Bailey Mark Grey-Shepherd while a third was in line, currently kicking away happily in Meredith's 7 month pregnant belly. This time Meredith couldn't contain her curiosity and already found out that a daughter was on her way. They had already decided to name her Alexandra Georgia Grey-Shepherd, in honour of Lexie and George . "That's almost all our lost friends and family taken care of", Derek often joked, "we just need another son and we shall call him Mark Christopher Shepherd." "All in good time", Meredith would say, all the while silently reveling how happy she was . It was beyond her expectation how her life turned out to be. She was an excellent surgeon, she had beautiful healthy kids, a loving husband and an awesome family . She was sure that with her history, something would go wrong and her heaven on earth would be disrupted, but so far she was still happy.
Ten years back...
"Meredith! Can't you be on time for once in your life?"Ellis Grey's shrill voice rang out." Yes mother! I am almost done." Meredith cried out. Meredith was leaving for Dartmouth, which was to become her home for the next five years, and she planned not to return home even during holidays. The farther she could stay from her 'home', the happier she would be. So she saw the 5 years of med school as a kind of escape from her mothers' over protective eyes and her sky-high expectations and her subsequent disappointment when Meredith wasn't able to meet them, her, her constant yelling at her daughter, pointing out her faults at any possible chance she got. Although she wasn't to blame entirely. Having lost two fingers of her right hand at an accident ten 18 years back, when Meredith was just 5, she was forced to retire as a surgeon. Being a world-class surgeon and a workaholic, this was a huge blow to Ellis. She almost stopped leaving the house, and all of her ample free time and unfulfilled expectations was now focused on her only daughter, Meredith. Although having Ellis Grey as a mother would be a dream come true for any aspiring medical student , it suffocated Meredith. So here she was, on her way to DARTMOUTH, with Ellis on the wheels of course! ( according to Ellis, Seattle was "Too unsafe to drive, especially for a child like Meredith)Meredith was finally on her way to get liberated !
