Chapter 1: Why was Derek Missing all day?
After the dreading call from Washington DC my heart was skipping a beat, everything that I could think of was going through my head of what happened to the love of my life. "Meredith are you ok" Bailey said. "Bailey I'm ok it just that Derek is missing" Meredith said. "Meredith he probably just got delayed in DC or here in Washington" Bailey said. I took Maranda's work for it as Derek could just be running late. After my talk with Bailey I tried think of something else, but all I could think of is Derek.
When I tried to call Derek I was pushed out of the way, as there was a mini plane crash in downtown Seattle. The thought of a plane crash brought back the memories of when Arizona, Christina, Derek, and I were in. Some of the things that I could remember from the plane crash was losing Lexie, and Mark. I can also remember searching for Derek out in the woods. The plane crash made me scared, but also brought fear to me because I was afraid I was going to lose the love of my life.
After a long surgery with Maggie, and Bailey I decided to pick up Zola, and Bailey from day-care and take them home. When I got home with the children I gave them dinner while I sat in front of the living room window waiting for Derek to come in the front door. After Zola and Bailey ate dinner I put them in their PJ's to get them ready for bed as it was late. When I put the children to bed I went back to the couch when the police arrived at my house. I opened the door and it was my loving husband standing there in his dark blue shirt with blood all over it. "Derek what happened" Meredith asked. "Meredith honey I was on my way to the airport, and I took a back road and saw a car crash, of course I got out and helped the victims" Derek explained. "But that doesn't explain why you haven't been answering my calls" Meredith said. "The reason why I haven't been answering my phone is because I have been at Dillard Medical Center helping out the other victims as the hospital has untrained doctors that don't know how diagnose brain injuries " Derek explained.
I was just happy that he was home, and that I didn't lose the love of my life like I had envisioned. Derek has been home for about an hour and was already sleeping in our queen size bed, I decided that I would get into my PJ's and go to bed. As soon as I got into bed Derek woke up. "Oh I'm sorry I woke you Derek" Meredith said. "You didn't Mer" Derek said. After I got into my bed with Derek we began to talk about our day when Zola woke up because of a nightmare. "Daddy your back" said the 5 year old little girl. "Yes Zola I'm back" Derek said. I asked Zola why she was up as it was extremely late for a little girl to be up. Before I knew it Zola was sleeping in the middle of the bed between both Derek and myself.
