So the first chapter mainly just set the story at the beginning of their intership. This story is a little lighter than some of the things I usually write, but I hope you all like it!
"Dr. Shepherd?" Meredith said after finding the dark haired man leaning against a nurse's station, writing in a chart.
"Yes, Dr. Grey?" Derek said turning around and meeting her eyes.
Meredith quickly looked away. She hated when he looked at her. At least that's what she told herself, "I'm on another case now, and so you need to get another intern for Mrs. Jackson. I'm scrubbing in with Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd."
"Dr. Shepherd?" a man said walking down the hall, making both of them look his way, "Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt. I don't believe we've met," he said looking at Meredith, "I'm Dr. Mark Sloane, plastics."
"Meredith Grey," she said smiling and shaking his hand, "I'm just an intern."
"Just? Don't put yourself down. Us attendings would never get anything done without interns," he said with a small wink of the eye.
"Well thank you. I'm glad to meet you, but I've got to get going. I don't want to make any one mad at me on my first day," she said before hurrying away.
"Well, she's something, isn't she?" Mark said watching Meredith hurrying down the hall.
"What?" Derek asked, turning his head to pretend that he wasn't watching Meredith as well.
"She's gorgeous. And Grey? Any chance there's a relation to Ellis Grey?" Mark asked.
"Yeah."
"Yeah what? Yeah, she's gorgeous, or yeah she's related to Ellis Grey?" Mark asked, obviously interested in what Derek was going to say.
Derek uneasily opened his mouth to speak, but felt a hand on his shoulder and quickly turned around to see a smiling face, "Hey."
"Oh, hey," Derek said still a little uneasy to his wife.
"What are you all talking about?" Addison asked.
Derek was about to sum up some lie, when Mark stepped in, "We were talking about that intern, Grey. Any chance she's related to Ellis Grey?"
"Never thought about it," Addison said, "I just hope she's good like her mother. She's scrubbing in with me today."
"Actually, she's been on a case with me all day. I was going to have her scrub in on that. She's earned it," Derek said, almost wanting him to kick himself after saying it.
"Okay, she's probably more familiar with it anyways. I've been working with Dr. Stevens as well. I'm sure she'd be glad to scrub in," Addison said before kissing her husband on the cheek and walking down the hallway.
"What was that?" Mark asked.
"What?" Derek asked.
"Why did you just steel her intern?"
"I didn't steel her intern," Derek said.
"I think you've got a thing for the intern," Mark said smiling.
"A thing? No. I'm married."
"Looking isn't a sin," Mark said grinning before turning and leaving Derek alone.

"Where are you going?" Bailey said stopping her intern.
"I'm going to find Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. I'm scrubbing in with her in half an hour," Meredith said hesitantly, still not used to her threatening resident.
"No you aren't," she said surprising Meredith, "Stevens is on that case. You are scrubbing in with Dr. Shepherd downstairs."
"But, I just told him-"
"Why are you still here?" Bailey asked looking at her intern.
"Okay, sorry," she said uneasily before turning towards the elevators to get back down to neuro.
As Meredith got off the elevator, Derek was in the same spot that she had left him. She walked back over to him and he immediately looked up, but she quickly averted his eyes purposely, just as she had before. "Bailey said that I'm with you. Even though I just told you that I was with your wife."
"We just thought that it would be better to have you on the case that you've been on all day," Derek said as he closed the chart he'd been writing in and placed it where it belonged.
"We did? As in who?" Meredith asked.
"Dr. Montgomery and I," Derek said, once again wanting to kick himself for leaving his last name off of his wife's name. He couldn't figure out what he was doing.
"Isn't that Montgomery-Shepherd?" Meredith asked, pointing it out.
"Yes, but it's too long. I can't call her Dr. Shepherd, that's too confusing. Dr. Montgomery is easiest," Derek said, trying to convince her that he wasn't lying.
"So, she wanted me off the case even though she just put me on it?" Meredith asked.
"You ask too many questions," Derek said as he stopped at a patient's room and picked up the chart to review it quickly, "Just be happy that you get to scrub in on anything your first day."
"You must have figured it out."
"Figured what out?" Derek asked as he signed the chart and put it back.
"About my mother. I got special treatment from my teachers in school and during clinicals when they figured that out. You should really just stop. I'm not better than anyone else," Meredith said.
Derek smiled, "Don't doubt yourself."
Meredith was going to say that she didn't but didn't when Derek began to walk again. He would glance back every once in awhile and smile at her, which she quickly ignored. She didn't like his smiles. There was just something about them that made her believe that they could be considered very dangerous.
