Strong

Chapter 1: elapsed Passion returns…

Ok so I am supposed to be writing "Like the Rain" but due to the lack of reviews I will not be writing it until reviews appear on my doorstep. So here is a sample of a new story I will be writing, I hope its like nothing you have ever read….

[Yes the story is MerDer but the beginning may not sound that way…but please give it a chance.

NOTE- I DON'T OWN GREYS ANATOMY AND SOME OF THE QUOTES I TOOK FROM GREYS…

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO….

Derek walked around the corner of the hospital, seeing his girlfriend, Rose. He had promised her a dinner tonight but he was put on watch for one of the newer patients.

"Hey Rose."

"Derek. So I heard we wont be having dinner tonight."

"Yeah it seems that way." He said running her hair behind her ear. He had to go be with his patient so he walked down the hallway leading to his room. as he rounded another corner he saw the chief talking to a young, dirty blonde woman. 'She looks familiar.' He thought.

"Derek!" Richard bellowed.

"Chief. Something you need?"

"Oh well I was gonna see if you were going to go look after Mr. Henderson.

"Yes well I have that under control." He said looking awkwardly at the woman next to Richard who looked taken back.

"Good." He said and turned his attention to the girl and Derek turned to leave.


"Ok Mer… I mean Dr. Nelson I am sure you will be ready for work next week?" he asked as Derek turned quickly but noticed no difference so he walked away.

"Yes." She replied and after Derek was gone she continued. "Thanks for not letting Derek know."

"Anytime Mer."

Meredith had gone to the hospital she had worked for 8 years ago. She had to get dinner cooked for Adam; she didn't have the energy to put up with him.

About 20 minutes later he entered the house with a young girl and boy in his arms, Maddison and Cody. They were Meredith and Adam's twins, they were 5 years old.

"I had to pick her up from school again." He said angrily.

"Sorry I had a meeting, and I called you."

"I have a job too!"

"Not now Adam, I don't want to scare them." She said pointing to the children.

"Ok but dinner better be ready or there will be hell to pay."

"Its ready calm down." She replied getting them their food. She went to grab a plate but he stopped her.

"Nope you have a room to get ready for me." He said and she nodded a tear running down her face, she hadn't eaten anything for three days but she dragged herself up the stairs. She knew what she was in for tonight. Once she had gotten the bedroom ready for him, she went to tuck her kids into bed. It was the one thing she looked forward to everyday.

"Meredith!"

"What?"


"Are you coming?" he asked in a huff.

"Yes." She was scared. Really scared, but she had to be strong for the kids. She walked into her bedroom and he immediately started beating her. She sobbed uncontrollably, what had happened to the force of nature that was known as Meredith Grey? She didn't even know. He looked at her with anger and betrayal, like she had wronged him. What had happened to the Adam she had known? No he wasn't the Adam she married, he was an evil, shadowing, pity of a husband or father. It was the children that kept her from leaving him, she didn't want them to grow up without a father figure although Adam wasn't much of one. This was the worst part of ever night. After he had beat her around a little bit he would try to comfort her.

"I love you Meredith. I don't mean to do this to you. You know how much you mean to me right?" she wasn't going to talk. She nodded, but she knew without a shadow of a doubt he didn't love her, not one bit. Someone who loves you doesn't do this and try to explain it to you.

"Goodnight."

"Do you think she is hurt as badly as last night?"

"No I haven't heard her crying as bad as she was yesterday." Maddison remarked. She hated her daddy for hurting her mother.

"Well I think we need to find her a new husband." Cody replied being the older of the two, he was also an honor student.

"Well that's a good idea, but how do we do that?"


"Ask people at the hospital where mommy works."

"Otay." Maddison said with a grin. She wanted to help.

It had been a week and Meredith had so many bruises it hurt to walk. She loaded her kids into her car and drove to SGH, somewhere she had never dreamed of going back to. She walked in the front door to see the one and only Cristina Yang. She smiled until she saw Cristina send her an evil glare and the frisky Korean woman walked huskily over to her.

"So its my person… how are you doing girl… you don't look good."

"How did you know it was me?"

"Instinct. Plus I have been in contact with you since you moved. Unlike anyone else."

"Hey Cristina…" George said not looking up from his work.

"Shut up bambi… Anyway Meredith." she said louder trying to catch George's attention.

"Meredith?! Is that you?" he asked with enthusiasm since he still 'loved' her, then Izzie walked up behind her and screeched.

"Meredith?" she screamed and hugged her. Meredith flinched since she was in pain.

"Mer? Are you ok? You lost so much weight and you didn't have any left to loose when I last saw you, which was six years ago…"

"Im fine." Meredith lied and Izzie was about to protest but Cristina grabbed Mer's arm and turned to walk away.

"Mer did you call the cops on him yet?"

"No. I can't do that to the kids. I have to be strong for them."

"Meredith! You're strong for everyone but yourself. Learn to take a stand. Lay down the rules!" Cristina yelled rather loud, the whole hospital was staring at them, Even Derek Shepard. He was the last person she wanted to see, especially since they had both moved on… or so she thought.

"Meredith?" He looked at her with emotional pauses. "Grey? Mer is that you?" He didn't move away or towards her. He just took the moment in.

OOC: I WAS GOING TO STOP HERE BUT FOR A BEGINNING CHAPTER THAT WOULD BE REALLY MEAN SO ENJOY THE EXTRAS…

"Der…" she said. Anything that she had gotten over, any progress that had been made in forgetting the exlovers was demolished. She loved him, although she had never stopped loving him but the feeling intensified immensely in the last two minutes. She wanted to just fall back into his arms but she knew that was way wrong, she was "married" minus love as she called it.

"Come here." He said extending his arms for her. At first she paused, but then she realized a friendly hug would not hurt. She walked forward and he lowered his head to her ear. "I never stopped loving you." He said tightening his grip and his hands moved up and down her waist. He knew it was wrong to be doing this in public, with all of Rose's little nurse friends but he had missed her. Oh god, she still smelled of lavender.

"I didn't stop either, Derek." She said parting from him. Then the moment was over as she saw Adam briskly walking up to them.

"Any reason you are touching my wife like that?" he said slyly to Derek.

"Wife?" he said, he thought he had just had his heart ripped from his chest.

"Ya know the woman I am madly in love with? What the hell is wrong with you Meredith?" He said turning to her. Adam grabbed her hand and it turned a deep shad of red. "You'll have hell to pay when we get home!" he said turning her around. As she walked away her shirt pulled up a little off of her lower back. Usually he would be staring lower then her back but the fact that it was all purple and blue with bruises made his heart skip beats. He had then noticed how thin the woman had been. He glanced over at Cristina who had seen it also. She waved for him to come over.

"He beats her."

"What?"

"Don't act like you didn't see it. I know you did. He beats her, Derek. The woman literally has no life left in her to say anything. You know she has two kids? Yeah I guess she is 'Being strong for them'" Cristina mocked.

"We have to do something. I think he is really going to hurt her bad now. He was pissed when he saw us."

"Come on, I know where they live." Cristina said pulling her car keys out.

"Ok." He said following her to her car. As she was driving she pulled out another set of keys.

"I knew this would come in handy someday. Look under your seat for a metal case. Open it."

"Ok…" he said and located it and gasped. "Cristina?"

"I hope you know how to use them cause I am not so good at it."

"I do, but since when do you carry a gun?"

"Since Burke left."


"Oh… sorry."

"Yeah since I had no one to watch over me I sort of figured it would be a worthy investment."

"Yes it was." He said as they pulled out in front of a large house.

"Here goes nothing." Cristina said as she watched Adam shove Meredith in the front door. Derek about threw up at the sight.

Bababum… Well I gave you more so now I want reviews. And yes I know you probably hate my pairings but I will take care of that next chapter so keep reading! Thanks
