psst..the first chapter is shoooort, sorry!


Derek Shepherd awoke to the phone ringing. Loudly. He groaned and looked at the clock. 4:15 a.m. Meredith lay beside him, rumpled and snoring. He untangled one of his arms from hers and reached for the phone. How the hell she could sleep through that he did not know.

"Hello", he mumbled into the phone. "Derek, it's Lexie. I need to speak to Meredith."

Derek sat up when he heard the tone of Lexie's voice. Meredith shifted in her sleep and turned towards him. "What's wrong Lexie?" Derek asked. "Please Derek, - Lexie's voice broke- give the phone to Meredith." He looked at his wife, who's eyes were open and looking at his curiously. He handed the phone to her and watched as her eyes widened and her mouth opened. She nodded a few times as if Lexie could see her and then said she'd call her back. Meredith then threw the phone down and rushed to the bathroom, Derek at her heels. He held her hair as she vomited, much like he had when she was pregnant. "Mer, what is it?" She gripped his hand and stood up.

"My father just died."

"Oh Meredith, honey, I'm so sorry." he whispered.

With that, she started shaking, and he took her into his arms and held her.
