Okay, so this is my first Grey's Anatomy fanfic. I love season two. I love all the tension between Meredith and Derek, I love the stolen glasses, the elevator rides, just everything. So I decided to write what I wanted to happen in season two. Some of it is the same as what happened in the beginning of season two and some of it is very different. I don't want to give a lot away because I don't want people to know what I plan on happening in this. This is going to most likely be a pretty long fanfic and I will update regularly. So enjoy and review! All rights to Shonda Rhimes, I don't own any of the characters, though I wish I owned McDreamy!

"And you must be the woman screwing my husband" Meredith kept replaying the sentence over and over in head. She was sitting at Joe's with a tequila glass sitting patiently on the counter ready to consume. George came into the bar setting his crossbody bag on the counter and took a seat at the bar stool next to Meredith.

"You don't look so good Meredith, I came to pick you up, Izzie sent me" George said with concern for his friend

"I'm great" Meredith said obviously tipsy

'Derek's married and I'm great" She said again with a laugh, obviously buzzed.

"I am so great, infact keep them coming Joe" Meredith continued as she picked up the full shot glass that was sitting on the counter, and knocked it back in about 3 seconds.

Joe went to pour her another when George shot him a look "No more Meredith, we're going home. Maybe we can watch some more of your mother's surgeries" he pleaded. Anything to get her out of that bar even though he knew the second reality really hit her that she would be a mess.

"McDreamy is a McAss, a married McAss, a very married McAss" She said laughing

"I know you deserve better, now come on lets go home" he pleaded again taking her hand and her keys in an attempt to get her up.

Meredith swung up from the stool and put her arm casually around George's shoulder "I guess I'm going home with him tonight" Meredith teased to Joe who just waved goodbye in return.

Meanwhile at Derek's trailer

"You know Derek I'm a little surprised you aren't more excited to see me, I am your wife after all" Addison said seductively trying to lighten the mood

"Go home Addison" Derek said non chalantly. He was happy, he liked Seattle, he liked the ferry boats, he liked his job and the people he worked with and he liked Meredith. Meredith who had finally agreed to date him ,who gave him a hard time for the longest time, his breath of fresh air, and the main reason Seattle was starting to feel like home.

'Derek, I know you are upset, but we're going to fix this. I will fix this" Addison said thinking it would get him to open up.

When he didn't say anything she continued

"The thing with Mark-"

"The affair with my best friend" Derek cut her off his anger rising

"The thing with Mark, it was a mistake , it shouldn't have happened and I'm sorry, but there are other issues Derek that we need to work out"

"All the other issues went out the window when you slept with my best friend" Derek said obviously angry

"Derek" Addison sighed

"Go home Addison" Derek stated again, anger left his voice and all that remained was a tiredness.

"I came here for work and I will be here awhile" Addison finished hopeful that he would want to work things out knowing she was here to stay for as long as Richard needed.

When Derek turned his back away to go into his bedroom Addison continued

"I'll be at the Marriot in town if you need me" she sighed and left the trailer.

Derek didn't want to hear anything, Addison had already overwhelmed him and she hadn't even been there for 24 hours. He needed a break from her, from Mark, from anything that reminded him of New York. And then there was Meredith, what he was going to do about Meredith. She didn't deserve any of this, any of it. There he went dragging her into this mess with Mark and his wife. She was an intern, fresh out of med school practically a child and there he went dragging her into his drama. Derek sighed this wasn't an easy fix but he knew more than anything that he wanted Meredith, to make things right and for her not to hate him.

Meredith walked into Seattle Grace with a tired expression on her face, she was surrounded by Izzie, George and Cristina, she was obviously hung over and obviously didn't care if anyone knew. Meredith could see Derek walking in out of the corner of her eye and she quickened her pace.

"Meredith" Derek called.

She ignored him and pretended that she didn't hear him and quickend her pace even more as she made her way to the interns locker room.

"Meredith we need to talk" Derek said as he grabbed her arm right before she was about to make it into the locker room

"She doesn't want to talk you" Izzie spat trying to take up for her friend

Cristina just gave him the harsh Cristina glare and George looked down at his shoes.

"Meredith" Derek said and pleaded with his eyes for her to talk to him

"You're married Derek" Meredith said and opened the door to the locker room leaving him behind to stare at the now closed door. Derek sighed and put his hand on his head; this was not going to be easy.

"Can any one tell me why my interns, MY interns are late, look like they haven't gotten any sleep, and are obviously hung over" Bailey barked staring at Meredith when she said the part about being hungover

"Actually I'm fine" Cristina said raising her hand up.

Bailey ignored her and continued her rampage " Okay Yang you're with Burke, Steven's you're with Torres, O'Malley you can stay with me, Karev go with Shepard, and Grey you have been personally requested on Dr. Montgomery –Shepard's service today" Bailey finished with a smirk.

When they all just stood there "Go People, and do not do anything to embarrass me, it's always my interns" Bailey finished. They all went right to work.

"Dr. Bailey, do you think it's fair to put Meredith with Dr. Shepard's wife, I mean after everything" George said fearfully

Dr. Bailey looked at him with a hard expression on her face and blinked a few times, making him wait in silence.

"It's just that Meredith didn't know and she just found out last night and it might be difficult for her" George trailed off obviously scared of Bailey's reaction.

"Dr. O'Malley, do you think I care, do you think that I have time to care about who's sleeping with who, who's married to who, I have patients, we have patients to attend to, I don't have time to worry about my interns sex life" Bailey barked making it clear that she was annoyed and that she didn't want it brought up again

"Yes ma'am" George nodded

"Good, now go take these to the lab and page me when you have the results" Bailey said handing him a bunch of folders. George set off.

"Dr. Grey nice of you to join us" Addison said with sarcasm dripping but kept a friendly smile on her face.

Meredith just nodded and smiled tightly at the patient.

"This is Mrs. Connor she is currently 7 months pregnant and is having harsh pains in her abdomen, she is also currently urinating blood, what do you propose we do Dr. Grey" Addison said looking at Meredith with a wry smile.

"Ultrasound to see if the baby is in distress" Meredith said, she didn't know much about gyno since she spent a lot of the time in neuro doing cases with Derek.

"We have already done that, the baby appears to be perfectly fine, what do you propose we do Dr. Grey" Addison said much more sharply.

"Um, we can run blood work" Dr. Grey guessed. She just wasn't into this today. She didn't want to work for Derek's wife, she didn't want to work for gyno, and she just didn't feel like herself.

"Mrs. Connor, can you excuse us" Addison said smiling brightly at the patient and left the room with Meredith

Addison's eye's pierced Meredith's

"Dr. Grey, do you have a problem working with me" Addison asked

"No" Meredith responded meeting her eyes

"Good because I've asked Dr. Bailey to keep you on my service for a week, I've heard you are good and I'd like to see for myself."

"You are keeping me on your service because of Derek" Meredith responded dryly. Usually she kept her mouth shut but today felt different for her. She just didn't feel well at all, it was more than a hangover something just felt off.

"I'm keeping you on my service because I've heard good things about you and I want to help you, to become a better doctor and a better surgeon"

"Wow, is that even operable" Karev asked looking at the head-scan of a tumor Derek was holding up

"Might be" Derek said his eyes squinting to see the tumor better

"Right between the frontal lobes, its edged in there pretty deep, but I think I can do it" Derek continued

"Can I scrub in" Karev asked hopeful.

Derek just turned and looked at him "How's Meredith" Derek asked as casually as he could

"She's fine" Alex said shrugging

"Good" Derek responded with an absent look on his face

"So can I scrub in or what" Alex asked impatiently

"Did she say anything about me today?" Derek proceeding ignoring Alex's question

"I don't know" Alex said now clearly annoyed and impatient

"You know its good she has Yang and Stevens, it's good that they are friends" Derek said looking more and more at the tumor on the scans

"Look, I really don't care about your personal problems I just want to scrub in on a surgery , so are you going to let me or not" Alex said fed up and getting directly to the point

"Surgery's at 2, OR 1" Derek said a little taken aback

"Cool" Alex finished leaving the scan room wanting to get an early lunch.

Meredith was looking over a file when a tall man with dirty blonde hair and a very muscular built approached her

"An evasive non small sow with a history of COPD, the guys pretty much a goner hmm" The stranger said to Meredith

"Sensitivity, I like that in a stranger, Are you new here?" Meredith responded with amusement

"Visiting, Confounded by all the rain and its only my first day in town"

"You get used to it" Meredith said absently dropping her file back on the nurses table

"It makes me want to stay in bed all day" the guy said a little seductively turning his attention back to Meredith

"We just met and already you are talking about bed, not very subtle" Meredith remarked

"Subtle's never been my strong suit" Mark winked "So do you ever go out with coworkers" Mark continued

"I make it a rule not to" Meredith smirked after slightly pausing to answer his question

"Then I am so glad that I don't work here" Mark flirted

"Are you hitting on me, in a hospital" Meredith asked with a smile a bit amused

"Would that be wrong?" Mark asked with a smile

Meredith smiled and shook her head a little "Meredith " she introduced holding out her hand

Right as he grabbed it to shake, Derek came out of no where and punched him right in the jaw. Addison saw and turned her back to check on her patient across the hall.

"What the hell was that?" Meredith asked angrily.

Derek said nothing and turned back around and left.

"So what was that about?" Meredith asked Mark as she cleaned up the cut on his face where Derek had punched him

"He must not have liked me talking to you" Mark responded grinning, now putting together the pieces that Meredith was "The Meredith" that he now knew Derek had fallen in love with.

"You two don't know eachother?" Meredith asked confused

"Nope" Mark said with a smile. If he wanted to break up Addison and Derek he needed Derek as jelous as possible and messing with his intern was the perfect start.

"Are you in any pain?" Meredith asked as she continued cleaning the cut

"A little but you're helping" Mark stated making his voice soft. If he wanted this to work he had to act like Derek. She fell for Derek and in order for a Derek/Addison split he needed Meredith to fall for him too, plus Meredith was cute, he was very attracted to her.

Meredith couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of butterflies for this guy, after all he was sexy and she was single now, so it was okay for her to feel something for Mark.

Meredith smiled warmly at him as she began to stich his face

"Ouch" he bellowed

"I'm sorry but this is a pretty deep cut, you need the stiches" Meredith said

Mark lightly touched Meredith's fingers as she finished stitching up his face.

"All done, you should feel a lot better tomorrow" Meredith said as she removed her gloves

"What about tonight, go out with me"

"I don't think so" Meredith said with a smile. After the McDreamy drama she didn't need another guy distracting her from work. One that Derek obviously didn't like.

"Come on, it's the least you could do. Whatever issues you had going on with that guy ended up with me possibly having scars that will ruin this perfect face"

Meredith just looked at him with a smile

"I'm a good time" Mark said suggestively

"I like to go to a bar called Joe's its right across the street, I'll be there at 7" Meredith said hesitantly

"7 it is" Mark responded wryly.

"Dr. Shepard, I cannot have you in my hospital, swinging punches at people. Your personal business is your personal business, but I pay a lot of money for that hand and we have patients and visitors here. This will not happen again" Richard stated very matter of factly

"That's Mark Sloan, he slept with my wife" Derek stated

"Don't let it happen again" Richard stated again very angry

Derek just sighed.

At 6:30 Meredith and the rest of the interns were in the intern locker room

"Ooh you know what we should do tonight, order Chinese and watch some of Ellis Greys surgery" Izzie said excitedly

"Yeah, there's a double heart valve surgery that I've heard she's done lets look for that one" Cristina joined taking her shirt off and putting another on

"I don't like Chinese" Meredith said with a small smile

"Pizza then, whatever you like to eat Meredith" George said starring at Meredith as always

"I have a date tonight, kind of" Meredith said with a smile

"That was fast, good for you Mer" Cristina joked

"With who?" Izzie asked

"My bets on McDreamy or whatever you call him" Alex chimed

"No, she wouldn't be stupid enough to go back out with him" Izzie said blowing Alex off

"Why not? He asked about her today"

"Hello, I'm right here" Meredith said faking annoyance with her friends

"Sorry Mer, but you wouldn't be stupid enough to take back the McAss would you?" Izzie asked

"Wait Derek asked about me today, what did he say?" Meredith asked Alex just now registering what he said.

"I don't know he just asked if you were okay or something"

"Oh" Meredith tried to hide her disappointment a little

"So who's your date?" George asked impatiently

"His name is Mark, its not really a date, we're just grabbing some drinks at Joe's. Just casual".

"You're late" Mark teased as Meredith made her way into the bar

"Sorry, just had a late surgery"

Mark leaned down and kissed Meredith on the cheek

"What'll it be?" Mark asked as she took a seat on one of the stools

"Tequila, defiantly Tequila" Meredith said with a smile

"Two Tequila's" Mark called to the bartender

"You're hot" Mark said seductively turning back to Meredith

Meredith blushed a little "Are you trying to seduce me?" she asked playfully

"Depends, is it working?" Mark said his tone turning serious. Meredith didn't know what it was about Mark but he made her forget her problems, made her temporarily forget Derek, and made her feel really weird inside.

Joe sat the two shots on the table

"To Seattle, and to sexy blonde doctor's" Mark joked as he lifted his shot

"To sexy blonde doctors" Meredith chimed banging her shot glass with Marks. She didn't know if he was talking about her or him when he said Sexy blonde doctors but she went along with it.

After a few shots Mark got really close to Meredith's ear

"So I remember telling you that I was a good time" Mark whispered

"I believe you did" Meredith answered back

"Wanna get out of here?" Mark asked already taking her hand

"Yes" Meredith smiled shyly at him as she took her coat and her hand and followed her out of Joe's.
