AN: This is what I hope happens in the upcoming Grey's Anatomy episodes
Derek, Meredith, Arizona and Cristina sat together in a room, they needed to talk and Derek had called them together.
"Shepard are you going to speak?" Cristina says
"We each have this money…..and I for one hate it" Derek says
"Same" Arizona taps her leg
"No one gets it, Callie tries but the fact is people are angry with us, because this money is the reason the hospital is going down" Cristina says
"It's not our fault that Lexie and Mark are dead" Meredith stands up impatiently
"No, it isn't fair but it is what is" Derek takes his wife's hand
"So, why are we here?" Arizona asks
"Because, I have an idea" Derek replies
The three women look at him
"What is it?" Cristina leans forward
"We give this money to the hospital" Derek says and looks to his wife who smiles
"In honor of Lexie and Mark" Meredith squeezes Derek's hand
"Okay, I am in. Owen and I don't need that money" Cristina smiles
"I think, that is a wonderful idea" Arizona flashes her magic smile
1 Week Later; the whole hospital and the board are called for an announcement.
"What is this about" Heather Brooks asks her friend Jo
"Alex said it has to do with the plane crash" Jo says
"Everyone, if I could have your attention" Owen says over the microphone
Everyone faces the chief
"6 Months ago 6 of our own went through a tragedy, 2 unfortunately didn't make it. 4 of those surgeons stand here today, alive and they would like to talk to you." Owen says and notices the room tighten at the mention of Lexie and Mark
"Hello, My name is Derek Shepard"
"I am Meredith Grey"
"Arizona Robbins"
"Cristina Yang"
"And we survived" Derek adds "And every day we feel the pain of losing our friends, family in that plane"
"We stand here today happy to be alive" Cristina says
"But miserable in the fact that Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan are not here" Meredith chokes on her sister's name
"We were given a choice after the crash" Arizona says in a soft voice
"We chose to make those responsible pay" Derek says
"But what we didn't know is that this hospital would pay" Cristina is stoic
"A place we call home in many ways" Meredith added
"And A place our hearts are attached to" Arizona looks to Callie and smiles
"We were given 15 million dollars each" Derek says and receives shocked responses
"This money, it was taken from the hospital" Cristina says
"But we don't want this money" Arizona says
"We want, to honor those who died, we want to give this money back to our hospital" Meredith smiles
"So, in honor of Mark Sloan I donate this check to SGMW Hospital" Derek sets his check on the table in front of him
"In Honor of Mark Sloan, I donate this check to SGMW Hospital" Arizona puts her check down
"In honor of Lexie Grey, I donate this check to SGMW Hospital" Cristina sets her check down
"In honor of my sister, my friend, Lexie Grey, I donate this check to SGMW Hospital, I will always miss my sister and mark, but this is what they would want" Meredith chokes back tears as she sets her check down
Bailey and Callie are the first to stand, crying and clapping, joined by everyone else
"And, in honor of Mark and Lexie, the ER is officially reopened and will be dedicated to them" Owen says and puts a hand on Derek's shoulder
The 4 survivors look to each other, in tears but in smiles, money can never replace those they lost but they did something with that money to honor those and that was enough.
AN: So that's that. I miss Lexie and Mark. Thanks for reading!
