Prologue
"Welcome to the JW Marriot Orlando. How can I help you?" Meredith Grey looked at the smiling face of the person behind the desk and had to resist a groan. She just spent the last couple of hours in a plane with horrible airplane food and a crying infant in her ear. She wasn't exactly in a good frame of mine to be friendly. But she pulled up her black sunglasses on top of her head and gave him a charming smile.
"Dr. Meredith Grey and am checking in." The woman smiled back and nodded. Began to click on her computer.
"Yes Dr. Grey you have the Princess Suite. It's overlooking the lake. You have several messages Dr. Grey." She handed her several pink slips. Meredith resisted another sigh, "It'll just be a moment to get your room finish. You can seat in the lobby and I'll have John come and get you."
"Do you have a place were I can use a phone?"
"Oh yes the conference room." She pointed in the direction of the room.
"Thanks." She answered and put on her messenger bag. She would have used her cell phone put it dead before she got on the plane. She needed to check in with her best friend.
Walking in she was glad to see the place empty. She went to the phone and dialed the familiar number.
"Hey Cristina I'm just calling to tell you I got in." She said after her friend picked up.
"Great. If I wasn't sick I would so be there with you. Stupid flu and stupid Burke for making me stay home. It's not like I wouldn't be in a room full of doctors."
"It's lovely here. I want to spend some time relaxing. I haven't done that in forever." She went to one of the chairs and sat down. And then screamed when she saw the black hair poking out from underneath the desk.
"What?" Cristina asked.
"There's a head underneath my desk." She whispered and then hung up, "Excuse me?" She questioned. Then heard a loud giggle.
"Hi." The voice whispered, "Your funny. I'm Gavin Shepherd and am hiding from my daddy." The little boy answered. He was adorable. With his big blue and a happy smile that showed off several missing teeth.
"Meredith Grey." She answered holding out her hand. The only other little kids she knew where her friends Alex and Izzie Karev children. She'd known them since they were babies. He shook the hand and then hid back under the desk. Right when the door opened. To revel a hazard looking man with the same dark hair and the same blue eyes that she had just introduced herself to. Her heartbeat quickened as she took in fully who he was.
"Derek Shepherd." She stuttered standing up and walking toward him in surprise.
"Meredith Grey." He said taking her in his arms and holding her close. And opening the floodgates to millions of unforgotten memories.
