New story. My 2nd so don't be too harsh.
"Wile E., Baby" her voice cracked and she gasped for a breath, revealing that she was crying, "I need to talk to you. It's Becca. Call me as soon as you get this. I love you Derek."
Derek Shepard pushed nine to save the message and frantically dialed the number he had memorized when he was 3.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
"Derek," he heard the heartbreak in her voice.
"Mom?" he paused almost afraid to ask, "What's wrong with Rebecca?"
"She… she was on her way to work and thisss," she choked up. She cleared her throat so that she could continue, "this semi truck ran a red light. Rebecca got hit. She is going to die. The doctor said there is nothing he could do."
Derek just sat there, not sure if he was hearing right. After around 20 seconds of silence, warm tears started to leave trails down his face, "What's her condition?"
"The doctor said he had never seen any case like it. Every single organ in her body is severely damaged on the inside, but her body is in shock. She will be completely Becca for about 20 more minutes, then her pain will catch up with her, and well you know."
"What are you doing talking to me then?"
"I am just about to give the phone to her."
"Okay mom."
"Well if it isn't Wile E. Coyote! What has been happening? It's been like 2 weeks. I was starting to get worried."
"Sorry Becs, but you can dial a phone too, you know." God this kid has a way of making me insane. I could just sit here all day and listen to her breathe. I must make her just as crazy as she makes me, because she is doing the same.
"Derek, remember that time when I was like 8 are some stupid 10 year old hit on me in front of you?"
"I kicked his ass into next week."
"Ha, you were 4 years older than him and he had a broken arm."
"What! He used that cast to his advantage. Those things hurt."
"Whatever, Wile E."
"What about that time you had your leg caught on the horse that you insisted on naming Tinkerbell? Saved your ass then too."
"Guess you are my life saver." I am not this time am I?
"Hey Becs, don't you dare tell Nancy, Audrey, or Michelle, but you were always my favorite of the Fantastic 4."
"I would say the same to you, but I can't lie."
"I am at least your favorite brother right?"
"I'm really sorry Derek," trying to sound as serious as possible.
"I am your only brother remember?!"
"And I love you anyways."
"I remember once I truly hated you."
"I am pretty unhatable. When was that?"
"You thought it was a good idea to pretend like the little innocent 11 year-old when my girlfriend called and you asked if she was Chloe, because I said that I really liked this made up Chloe girl."
"She was a slut!"
"She never talked to me again."
"But look, your love life turned out okay anyways."
"Not sure if I would say that."
"What are you talking about?"
"Addison came to Seattle, we are trying again."
"And new girl?"
"is heartbroken."
"Damn it Derek, how come you always take that bitch back?"
"I don't know… maybe because she is my WIFE!"
"Okay, I have to go. I love you Wile E. Coyote."
"I love you too Becs."
"Derek, she needed to spend time with the kids and Blake."
"Yeah I get it mom."
"When are you coming?"
"As soon as possible."
"Kay baby, see you soon. Be careful. I love you."
"Should be a few hours. Love you too mom."

"Hello?"
"Meredith Grey?"
"This is. Who is speaking?"
"This is Kathleen Shepard." Shepard? Shepard? Seriously, I think I know enough Shepard's.
"I am Rebecca Dalton's mother."
"Oh Becs, what's wrong?"
"Becs? You are one of the two people I knew in her life that called her Becs. She passed away about an hour ago. She spoke of you a lot and I found your number in her phone book and I thought you should know. The visitation is Thursday and the funeral is Saturday. Becca described you as one of the closest friends she ever had, if not the closest. You are very welcome to come out today or tomorrow and meet the family, since you never got to while she was… you know… alive."
Meredith felt like exploding. Her best friend in the entire world, the one that helped her through all her fights with her mother. The one that was there through every tough time.
"I know that was a lot of information, but are you still there?"
"Yeah Yeah sorry, I will be out there today, if that's not too much. I mean you just lost your daughter, you probably don't want to have to deal with people," Anyone with ears could hear the tears in Meredith's voice.
"You just lost your best friend. It's more than fine. Plus I need people right now."
"Okay I will be there in around 5 or 6 hours."
"Sounds good."

"Addison?"
"What's up?"
"Rebecca is dead," Derek was numb.
"REBECCA, your sister?!?!" Addison never even liked her. Well probably because Becs hated her.
"Yes."
"Oh my god, Derek."
"I am going to Lasker."
"I would go with you but I can't go to tomorrow afternoon."
"That's okay the visitation isn't until Thursday."
"Derek, call me when you land, good luck. Tell Nancy, Shellie, and Blake hi for me."
"I have to go."
"I love you."
Click. He hung up and bought his ticket. The flight would leave in 2 hours. 2 hours too late in his mind.
"I am sorry, but there are no remain seats left in that section. We only have first class tickets left."
"I'll take it."
"Okay then the total will be…" Meredith slammed her debit card down before he could finish.
"The flight will leave in one hour."
Okay, this story just popped in my head. What did you want me to do, ignore it? Not sure how long it will be yet. The whole shock thing, not mine. Grey's did it first. Derek, Meredith, Addison, Nancy: not mine either. But as for the rest, I rule there imaginary world. :
