Hey guys, I had this idea since a few months ago, about writing a story of MerDer based on dramas. This story is based on a popular Korean drama series ' Autumn In My Heart'. Now if you have ever watched the series before, I would appreciate it if you don't spoil anything for those who have not. Those of you who have not, do not go to search the synopsis if you do not want to be spoiled, because the plot of this story will be based loosely on the series.

Right now, I want to post a prologue to give you a taste of the story, see how you like it before I post the real thing

Also, just a reminder that this is purely AU, and all the characters belong to Shonda Rhimes, not me!

So here goes!

Prologue
Year 2005
I feel delicate but strong arms wrap themselves around me. I know who they belong to without even needing to turn around. After all these years, they still feel so familiar. And I breathe in the scent, the scent of lavender which I missed so much after all these years. I finally spin around and come face to face with her.
The transformation which took place in her body was incredible, the last time I saw her, she was still a girl, but now she had blossomed into a young beautiful woman. Her dirty blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders in soft, delicate waves. Her mouth, which was lined with lipstick was tender. Her nose was sharper than I remembered. And those piercing green eyes, they looked like ruby, much
more beautiful than I recall.
She was the one to speak up first.
'Derek, I've missed you- so much'.

Year 1978
'Derek, are you excited to see your brand new little sister?' Christopher Sheperd asked the excited 3 year old who was bouncing up and down the hospital corridors.
'Yeah!' Derek replied cheerfully. He was overjoyed about the prospect of being a big brother. He would teach his little sister a lot of things, how to climb, how to ride a bike..
Father and son soon reached the nursery, where several babies were lying in their bassinets. Some were sleeping peacefully, while others were wailing away.
They reached a bassinet holding a little baby wrapped in a pink blanket. She was sleeping peacefully and Derek thought she was the most adorable thing ever. At the side of the bassinet was labelled 'Baby Girl Sheperd, birth weight 2.8 kg'
Half an hour later, when they had enough of basking in the cuteness of the baby, father and son walked hand in hand out of the nursery. Just then, Christopher met a good friend right outside the nursery, and pleasantly surprised to see his friend, he began to chat with his friend, subconsciously loosening his grip on Derek's hand. The little boy, not wanting to leave his sister, sneaked back into the nursery to peek at her again. His hand accidentally swiped the label at the side of the bassinet, and it dropped onto the floor. He bent to pick it up and put it back, but he wasn't tall enough to do so. Just then, his other hand accidentally swiped the label from a bassinet beside his sisters, and it dropped onto the floor as well.

'Derek!' Christopher Sheperd had finally realized his son had been missing.
'Oh here you are. I was getting a bit worried there... Com'on son, let's go back to mummy now, shall we? Let your sister have a good rest'. he said, lifting the little boy up in his arms.

A moment later, when both father and son have vacated the nursery, a nurse entered the room. Immediately spotting the two labels lying on the floor, she picked them up and placed them back in what she thought were the correct bassinets.
Except that she didn't know she had exchanged the labels of the two bassinets.
Baby girl Sheperd's bassinet was now labelled 'Baby Girl Grey', and the bassinet next to her was now labelled 'Baby Girl Sheperd'.

A few hours later, the baby originally known as Baby Girl Grey was brought up to the room housing the Sheperd family. They fussed over her, not realizing what had occured back in the nursery.
'She's so beautiful' Carolyn smiled looking down at the little girl who was looking up at her intently. 'Oh, Christopher, look at those green eyes, she must have gotten them from her grandfather!' Christopher Sheperd was a little confused, he thought that he saw her having brown eyes, but he couldn't be too sure, because she was sleeping when went to see her just now.
'Let's name her Meredith', Carolyn interrupted his thoughts.

Meanwhile, a few rooms away, Ellis Grey was quietly nursing her newborn daughter, unaware that this baby was originally a Sheperd and had been delivered by Carolyn Sheperd just a few hours ago. 'I want to say that you ruined my life.' She began speaking to the baby quietly. 'Your father is a jerk and just left me after I found out I was having you. It's ok, because you and I? We're a team. We're tough, we'll get through this.'
The baby opened her big brown eyes to look at her mother. 'Ah well, I see you've inherited your father's eyes. Too bad, but it's ok, it's not your fault.' Ellis laughed.
'You know what? I have a name for you. I'll called you Alexandra, Lexie for short.'

Ok, so this is the beginning of the story. I hope you get what happened in the nursery, because this is integral to the rest of the story.
I would really appreciate it if you could leave a comment or review, as I would love to know your take on this, so that I know whether to proceed with this story or not. :)
