Author's Note: Hello! This is my first Grey's Anatomy fanfic and I may get some things wrong by accident. Please warn me if I make the characters not like themselves because I love this show and I do not want to ruin any of these characters. This entire story will be about life with Derek Shepherd but with a twist. I may do more then his perspective like the show because it might be more fun or would you like to only see his perspective? Anyways, let's get this show on the road!
Chapter 1
End of the World: Part One
Life. Death. Hate. Love. It's all apart of us. We live and we love. We live and we hate. We die after experiencing love. We die after experiencing hate. When you die, everyone who loves you will mourn you. The world stops spinning for you, but would their world stop spinning? That is the question. The world stopped spinning for me on May 20th, 2010. Why did my world stop? Like I said, the world stops for you when you die. But I didn't die. I just feel like I died on that day. On that terrible day my wife, Meredith Grey, died.
May 20th, 2010
PREGNANT. Meredith stared at the pregnancy test in her hand. She was excited yet scared at the same time but she knew what she had to do. Meredith stuffed the pregnancy test in her coat's pocket. Meredith was going to tell Derek but she wanted to tell Christina first. She needed her person for this. Meredith stepped into the elevator and sighed when the elevator doors closed. She was pregnant. Meredith couldn't help but smile. Meredith and Derek didn't plan this pregnancy. It just happened. Meredith stared at the elevator doors as the elevator went down. She was thinking how she was going to tell Derek. Of course with Christina, she was going speak like they usually do. Meredith needed to let out the news and Christina is her person.
When the elevator doors opened, Meredith got out. She began walking towards the hallway where her and the others usually hang out when they have time. Meredith knew Christina would be there. Christina would be there because she would need rest by then. Meredith turned to the hallway and walked straight towards Christina. She was sitting on one of the hospital beds. Meredith breathed in and out. She then walked towards Christina, ready to tell her the news.
"No way." Christina said. Her voice was full of surprise. Of course it was. Christina wasn't expecting to hear this from Meredith today.
"Yeah." Meredith replied. She looked at Christina in a way Christina would know she was telling the truth.
"No freakin' way!" Christina said, loudly. Her voiced echoed a bit, but no one was around to hear other then Christina and Meredith.
"Right?" Meredith said, agreeing with Christina because she couldn't believe she was pregnant too.
"Oh my God. O-okay. Um... Were you trying to ge.." Christina responded but Meredith cut off saying, "No! Total accident. I used the thing!"
"Oh, so are we happy about this or are we exercising our legal right to choose?" Christina said causing Meredith to sigh. Christina then laughed, happily. "Congratulations!" Christina said as she hugged Meredith but then a question came into her mind. "Are you going to tell him? Have you told him?"
Meredith replied, "No I just found out." Just as they were about to speak about it again, their pagers beeping. Teddy was paging Christina while Derek was paging Meredith. Meredith decided with that she was going to tell Derek. They both went their separate ways before agreeing with each other that the baby gets Derek's hair.
Meredith, happily, went into the elevator where a man was already in. Meredith didn't recognize him and thought nothing of it. Meredith took out the pregnancy test from her pocket again. She still couldn't believe she was pregnant. Meredith knew she was going to tell Derek about the baby. She had to. Yet, Meredith felt terrified to tell Derek about the baby. The elevator ride was quiet but when Meredith took the pregnancy test out of her pocket, the man spoke.
"You're pregnant?" The man asked.
Meredith looked at the man with the brown coat. She smiled and answered, "Yeah. I'm going to tell my husband. He just paged me."
The man then looked at Meredith as she put the test back into her pocket. "My wife and I tried to have children but we weren't lucky. And now she's... gone."
Meredith looked at the man, sincerely. "I'm sorry about your wife."
The elevator doors opened and Meredith began to walk away. The man stopped the elevator from closing and he yelled towards Meredith, "Who's the lucky man?"
Meredith turned towards the man, not noticing the hidden object in his hand. "Well, um... Dr. Derek Shepherd. I'm sorry, but I have to go. He just paged me to help with a patient. I should go." Meredith turned and began walked forward. The hallway was empty since not many were there. The man got out of the elevator and began to walk began Meredith. "Miss, please turn around." Meredith turned to the man but instead of just seeing a regular man, she saw him pointing a gun at her. Meredith stopped dead in her tracks. It was like the world was slowing down, but it wasn't. Meredith was terrified. "Sir, plea..." "Gary Clark." The man interrupted her. Meredith gulped as the gun was still pointing towards her.
"Mr. Clark, please. You don't need to do this." Meredith tried not to sound like she was begging, but it didn't work. "Eye for an eye. Dr. Shepherd took my wife from me. I'll do the same but he'll feel even worse because it won't just be his wife but his child too." Gary Clark pointed the gun towards her. He was about to pull the trigger when Meredith cried out, "Please. Let me say goodbye to Derek. You got to say goodbye to your wife. Let me say goodbye to my husband." Tears spilled from Meredith's eyes. She didn't know how to get out of this situation. She knew she couldn't. Meredith needed to say goodbye.
Meredith decided to page Derek. She waited with Gary Clark but she jumped in fear every time he shot someone who tried to help her. Three nurses, two interns, and a brave patient were dead because they tried to help her. Meredith was crying but she stood her ground. She knew Derek would be here soon. As if here words were a magnet, Derek turned the corner. He was smiling. He was expecting to see his wife asking for help with a patient that may have had a head trauma while she was coming to answer his page. Instead, he was introduced to dead bodies, his terrified wife, and an angry Gary Clark." His world began to slow down as Meredith was facing towards him as Gary Clark pointed the gun at her.
"You know. I came here to kill you, Dr. Webber, and Dr. Grey. But I got me a good surprise here when I got on the same elevator with your wife. I took some time to know her when I notice her name is Grey like that other Dr. Grey. Lucky day. So maybe instead of killing you and the others, I will make you suffer like I did." Gary Clark said, cocking the gun at Meredith. Meredith let out a whimper of fear. She was terrified but she need to say goodbye to Derek. Derek held up his hand towards Gary Clark. He was trying to be calm but was horrified inside. "Mr. Clark, you do not need to do this. Put the gun down." Gary didn't listen. He kept pointing the gun at Meredith. "Say your goodbye to him before I change my mind." Meredith nodded with tearing spilling out.
"Derek, I love you. I know you know that but I need to say it if today's my last day to live. Okay? I love you. So please when I die and you live, find someone else to love. I want you to be happy. I'll be waiting for you. I will always wait for you." Meredith gulped as she said that. Tears came from Derek's eyes now and he began to beg. "Please. Please. Do not kill her. I am begging you. Please!" Gary stopped for a second and then the world began to slow down for Derek. Bang. Bang. Bang. Gary Clark shot Meredith three time in her abdomen. Meredith fell forward towards Derek. A loud scream was heard. At first Derek thought it was another patient, doctor, or person. Then he notice it was himself. He rushed towards Meredith and began putting pressure on Meredith's abdomen. "NO! NO! Bastard!" Derek began crying more as he kept putting pressure on Meredith's abdomen. Derek wanted so badly to go and kill Gary Clark but he knew he couldn't. He needed to keep Meredith alive and if he did that, he would get shot. "Mer, please stay with me. I love you. Okay? I love you so much, so please stay alive." Derek said through all his tears. Gary Clark began to walk away towards the elevator. "An eye for an eye."
