New fic, hope u like it
I don't own greys

Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
I said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
to remind me


to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

"Shit! Shit! Shit"

Meredith struggled to pull herself free from his arms without waking him. She needed to go to work.

"Babe" he mumbled in his sleep whilst reaching out for her.



"I'm late" she exclaims, pulling herself away and running into the bathroom.

Meredith quickly showers before running back into the room to get dressed.

"Mer come back to bed" he groaned.

"I can't, I'm late, which isn't what you should be on your first day of work." Meredith tells him, as she finishes getting dressed. She quickly grabs her things before returning to his side. She bends down to give him a quick kiss. He takes this chance to pull her into a passionate kiss.

"Mmmm..." she moans, as he pulls her down onto the bed.

Realising what she was doing, she rushes to push him away.

"Mark" she grumbles, "I've got to go!"

Finally finding her feet, she runs to the door. "Wish me luck" she said, as she ran out of the room.



Meredith made it to the hospital to catch the last half of the chief's speech. She felt like she was in complete awe. This was her new playing field, and she definitely wanted in on the game.

After all the interns made their way to their locker room, they changed into their scrubs. Meredith was feeling nervous about today. She had met some of the people at the mixer last night, and as much as she wanted to be their friend, she had been instilled with a fierce competitive streak, and as her mother taught her, they were her competition.

One of the interns that she had met last night came up to her. He looked cute, a bit young, and he seemed to be trying to talk to her, but her nervousness had her completely blank. Nothing he said registered.

It wasn't until her name was called by the resident that she clicked; she smiled at the guy that had been talking to her, before she made her way to the door.

Meredith along with 3 other interns 'Yang', 'Stevens' and 'O'Malley' made their way to their resident 'Dr Bailey'.

Meredith was taken aback by the tough bossy speech given by her resident. Who was a short African American woman, who Meredith wouldn't want to cross. She figured that her and her fellow interns were going to be kept on their toes.

They had a busy morning and Meredith had been given Katie Bryce, a 

patient suffering from seizures. This beauty queen teen was hers to look after. She was the kind of girl Meredith had hated when she was at high school, and it seemed she still disliked them even now, being a doctor.

Meredith made her way to the cafeteria, she spotted the other interns in a deep conversation. She could tell that they were talking about her being the 'famous' Ellis Grey's daughter, and in that would come the fact that her step father was the Chief Dr Richard Webber.

Meredith nodded her head at them, before sitting down at a table across the other side of the cafeteria. 'Huh' she thought 'wait until they meet my husband', and as if right on cue, there he was.

She felt him put his hand on her shoulder. Meredith looked up at him and smiled. "Hey" she whispered as he bent down and kissed her. He moved around and sat next to her. "How's it going sweetie?" he asked, leaning in to kiss her again. They had always been an overly affectionate couple.

"I have been looking after a beauty queen teen." she laughed, "who is killing me."

He laughed at her.

They continued their lunch with their usual banter. So far the interns would just think that he was her partner who had come to visit to eat lunch with her. Mark was still in his street clothes, as he had not yet 

gone to change into his scrubs.

They were interrupted by her pager going off. "Love you!" she said quickly as she jumped up and ran off.

Mark sat back and chuckled. 'The life of a surgeon', he thought, as he got up and put their rubbish in the bin. He could feel the eyes of all the interns looking at him. He looked over at them and smiled. Mark had to resist the temptation to go over there and introduce himself as Meredith's husband. He knew she would flip out if he did. So he just turned and made his way to his office, before going and changing into his scrubs.

Meredith was lucky to e able to scrub in with Dr Derek Shepherd . He was doing brain surgery on Katie Bryce. She felt like she had offended people by being picked for this surgery.

Standing in the O.R was an exhilarating feeling. A complete buzz over took her as he called her over to the table so she could look at what he was doing.

"Nervous?" he asked her
"A little" she replied quietly
"Don't worry" he whispered. "Markies proud, and you're in here with your brother in law, and your parents are looking on." He lifted his head and nodded it towards the gallery.



Meredith looked up. Standing at the back of the Gallery resting back in the arms of her husband was her mother. She was looking on with approval as Richard nodded his head at her.

"Crap" she whispered

All the interns were gathered in the gallery. "They're already talking about me you know. All the other interns that is..." she swallowed hard. "Let alone what they're going to think when they find out Mark is my husband." she told him.

"He had lunch with me today, but they wouldn't have known who he was, as he didn't start his shift until after lunch. Plus he was still in his street clothes."

Derek nodded. "Mer, why don't you just tell them before they find out?"

He looked at her before looking back at what he was doing.

"I don't know why I didn't just register as Dr Sloan rather than Grey. That way it wouldn't be there for them to discover." She told him.

"Speak of the devil" Derek said, as he looked up at the gallery again.

"Oh God" she muttered, as she watched Mark walk in and stand next 

to her mother and father.

Mark waved down at her, and she raised her hand slightly. The other interns noticed this and turned to see Mark with her Parents. When they turned back around she could see the look of shock on their faces.

"It's out now Der." she whispered.

Both returned their focus to the surgery as she helped 'Dr Shepherd' or her 'Der' throughout the rest of the surgery. Her nerves gave way, and the thrill had taken over by the time she was done.

As they scrubbed out her parents and Mark came in to congratulate her on her first time in the O.R

"How does it feel?" Richard asked as he gave her a quick hug. He had a big grin on his face.

"Amazing" she replied.

"Congratulations Meredith" her mum quickly told her before giving her a hug. Her mother, Ellis, was not known for being a physical person, and Meredith was quite shocked by her mother's embrace, that when it finally registered she only briefly got a chance to savour it.

Richards return to her mother's side when he had finally got the 

courage to divorce his wife Adele had really changed her mother for the better.

Both her parents left, but not before inviting her and Mark over for tea.

Mark then let her finish scrubbing out while he talked to Derek.

When Meredith had finished Derek excused himself, kissing her on the cheek as he left. Mark then turned to Meredith and embraced her. "Dr Sloan" he whispered in her ear, before nibbling on it. " Mmmm" she moaned in reply. "I'm proud of you." he told her. He then moved his head and crushed his mouth onto hers. Her lips parted, letting his tongue move into her mouth, caressing her. The kiss deepened as he pressed her up against the sink. Meredith's hands wrapped around his neck as his hands stroked the skin exposed at her waist.

"Mer" he groaned, as she fought to regain composure, and pushed him away.

"Mark" she said as she struggled to get her breathing under control. "I've got to do the post op notes" she whispered as his lips met hers. "Besides we can't do this here." she groaned as she pushed him away again. "Tonight though... I promise." she whispered before giving him one last kiss, and moving towards the door.

"I will hold you to that promise Dr Sloan" he said with a smug look on his face, as they both stood in the door way. "You know I don't back out of a promise Dr Sloan." she replied with a cheeky grin as she turned and walked away.



Meredith had finished her post op notes, then filled the remainder of her shift doing sutures in the pit. She caught glimpses of Mark as she floated around the hospital, and noticed the looks she was getting from the other interns. So much so that she dreaded returning to the locker room at the end of her shift.

Meredith hesitated at the door to the locker room. "They won't bit" Bailey told her before giving her a push through the door.

Meredith was greeted by 3 shocked faces. They watched her as she grabbed her street clothes out of her locker and made her way to the showers.

"What no comment" they asked her as she walked past them.

"What do you want me to say?" she asked them

The doctor 'yang' seemed to be the only one to rise to the challenge. "Is it not enough that your step father is the chief of surgery? You also then have to sleep with an attending?" Yang put forward, glaring at her.

Meredith's eyes tightened in to focus on her. "I got here based on my marks, not based on who my father or mother is. And the attending that you just mentioned is not someone who I am just sleeping with, he is my husband. I am Dr Meredith Grey - Sloan. Thank you she 

responded sharply.

Yang just gawked at her, "Ok then..." O'Malley jumped in, breaking the tension between the two.

Meredith showered and changed, leaving the locker room without saying anything more. She wasn't too pleased with how her first day went. The work was great, but she couldn't say she was going to be best friends with any of her colleagues.

Meredith met Derek and Mark in the elevator. She forced a smile, but relaxed in Marks arms. "First day didn't go so well?" Mark asked as he rubbed her shoulders.

"Let's just say I'm not going to be bringing any new friends home any time soon." she muttered.

Mark sighed, this was exactly what she had worried about. "Don't worry about them." both Derek and Mark said at the same time.

"It easy for you guys to say. But you're not stuck with them on the long shifts." she groaned.

Mark continued to rub her shoulders, and kissed her lightly on her head. He knew there wasn't much that he could say to comfort her.
"Don't forget about tea at mums" she told him as they exited the elevator.
