A/N I wasn't really satisfied with the 1st chapter, I thought it was a little rushed so I hope this one will go better. Oh and just so you know Burke didn't get shot and Denny ( while not important for the story) didn't die. I'm trying a different angle here, I hope it's not to confusing.
"So Dr Grey, I hear you and my husband are going to San Francisco" Addison said when they left their patients room.
"Um, well yeah, but it's not like I want to go with him or anything" She said nerves. She didn't know what to say, and it was the truth, she wasn't happy with the decision that was made. She knew Addison was going to bring this open sooner or later, she just hoped for the later part. "But hey" she figured "That's just my luck".
" Ok Grey, what ever
you say. I wasn't assuming anything, or accusing you" she said
watching her closely. Meredith got nerves by the way she looked at
her, it had something very nerve-racking .
" Oh, yeah well I
uh, I just wanted to say in case, uh.." she trembled of
"Why are you so
nerves around me Grey?"
" I don't know what you mean Dr
Montgomery-Shepherd" Meredith tried
"Oh common Grey you and I
both know that isn't true, is it because I'm the wife. 'Cause
just so you know I'm totally over the mistress thing, in fact I'm
starting to like you"
"Oh please no don't" Meredith
thought "I slept with your husband you can't like me, she can't
can she?" "What should I say?"
"Uhm I.. I'm glad
about that" she said after a little while.
"Oh god that wasn't
convincing at all!" Meredith was totally freaking out, all the
drama and fears from Prom Night and the week after came back.
"I.. I got to go. I'll see you later Addison, I uh mean Dr Montgomery- Shepherd"
"Addison is fine Meredith, and yeah I'll see you later" She could feel Addison's eyes burning in her back probably filled with confusion and wonder.
Once Meredith arrived back home, she grabbed her laptop and started to email Phoebe.
San Francisco, Bay Mirror:
"Oh wow I can't believe you're here!" Phoebe said enthusiastic "So what brings you here?"
"What do you think
Pheebs?" Les said "I came for you and Elise got a job for me here
in San Francisco"
"Oh how long will you stay?" she asked,
unsure of what else to reply.
"Permanently" he said smiling
"Oh wow he has such a great smile, I had almost forgotten that"
Phoebe thought
"When I left a couple of months ago it didn't feel right I had to see you again so what do you think?"
"I'm shocked to see
you, but I'm happy as well. It's bit confusing" Phoebe said
honestly "Gee Pheebs way to go he'll think you're a complete
idiot" she thought
" Well I'm glad about the Happy Part"
he said
"So what does this mean? Do you think our signs are
compatible?" she asked smiling
"I think they are" he said
"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
"Yeah that
would be nice"
"Good now make sure you won't have another
'family emergency', 'cause you won't get away that easily
this time" He said
"Well why don't you come over, to my place? Piper is an excellent cook, that way it'll got more difficult to get out of it. And Piper and Paige would love to see you again" She said
"Ok, sounds good. But
I have to go now I'll see tonight, what time?"
"Does 6 sound
good?"
"It does" He smiled and he walked away
"Ok that I'll see
you at 6, bye" She felt all happy and squishy inside, she couldn't
believe he was actually back. She had always been wondering about
what he was doing, and if he was seeing anyone else. And now she knew
he had been doing the same. But she couldn't have guessed before
how good that made her feel. She unconsciously smiled at that
thought.
She heard a 'ping' coming from her laptop, she
walked over and saw the message came from Meredith, and she started
to read it :
Hi Phoebe,
I hope you and your sisters are doing good, is everything going well over there?.
I uh have a favor
to ask you.
Do you remember Derek? I told you about him and of
course his long-legged wife. Well the Chief, Dr Richard Webber, who
turned out to be the reason behind my parents divorce!! (But that's
a different story) Had this great idea of sending me and Derek to San
Francisco for TWO WEEKS! As in together to San Francisco, together.
We have a pr thing in San Francisco and they couldn't schedule it
so it would only take couple of days apparently. So we've to stay
there for two weeks. And since you know the story, I guess you know
it's impossible to go to San Francisco with him, you think so to
right? I mean especially after the event of the last couple of weeks,
but I haven't told you that yet and it's a very long story. So
my favor is: Can I stay with you and your sisters these two weeks, I
know it's a lot to ask but I'm desperate. Could you please write
me back?
Love,
Meredith
"Poor Meredith" she thought. And she started calling Piper.
Seattle grace
Christina was standing
next to the man that had ruined her best friend, in an elevator, the
place where it all started.
"Dr Shepherd? I have something to
say to you" And she pushed the red STOP button, she didn't even
really knew she did that, she just knew she had to warn him. To not
break Meredith again.
"Yang what theā¦"
" No listen" Christina interrupted him, surprised by what she just said. " right now in this elevator you're not my boss, lets just pretend that for a few minutes ok?" It wasn't a question at all and she continued with an even voice, defending her person.
" I just wanted to
make clear, that we won't watch you break Mer again. You're not
going to flirt with her, you're married and until that's changed,
you have to stay away no matter what she says she is far from over
you and with you're flirting you break her more everyday, she
sometimes calls you McDreamy again. So if you break Mer again, meant
or not, you'll pay. Mer means more to us than this program even to
me. Just so you know, with all due respect of course Dr Shepherd"
She said with great certainty
"Dr Yang, you realize you were
totally out of line. And just so you know I don't intend to do
anything. It's not like it's my fault that we both have to go to
San Francisco." He said defensively. " It's nice to know Mer
has such devoted friends. I know I hurt her but it won't happen
again"
"I hope so"
Christina said and she murmured behind it " for your sake"
thinking he wouldn't hear it.
"What was that Dr Yang? Oh and
uh would you like to start the elevator again. I mean I would love to
hang around here with you but we have patients to check on.
Thank you very much for the enlightening conversation" he said with
a smirk
"What ever" she murmured and pushed the button again
and the lift started to motion again.
Halliwell Mansion San Francisco:
"Wyatt don't play with you food" Piper said to her son who was playing with his lunch, feeling exhausted.
"Sowwy mommy" Wyatt
said
"It's ok, honey. Just eat your lunch ok?" " Leeoo!"
she called tired
" Could you please
come here and help me with the boys, I have to go to P3 in a couple
of minutes, I have a lot to take care. I need to call to that manager
to get a band for Friday and he's not easy to deal with so please
come down here, NOW!"
"I'm coming Piper." He yelled while
coming down the stairs
"Honey you look so tired, why don't you let me deal with that manager, it worked out well last time and I don't have anything to do anyway. I'll help Wyatt finish that delicious lunch, you made him, and you go lay down and take a nap or you could take a relaxing bath" He suggested
" That's really
sweet and tempting but I really need to go to P3 to book a band. But
you know what you help Wyatt finish his lunch and I go to P3 and I
come back after talking to that manager and than you could finish the
rest of the preparations for friday, you know what to do order
drinks and food and stuff. Ok?"
"Sure honey, as long as you'll
take a nap and take it easy when you come back. You know what why
don't we go out for dinner a nice restaurant just the two of us?"
"
Oh no" she sighed " That's right, Phoebe wants to have a dinner
tonight apparently Les that ghost writer, is back and she asked if
they could have a family dinner with us, and Paige" she said " So
I have a lot of preparing to do, I'll have to go to the grocery
story and prepare a decent meal. So could you talk to that manager as
well?" she asked with a sigh "Damn" she thought "why today
out of all days, I'm exhausted. Apparently Phoebe doesn't know
how stressful it's being a mom and a manager" she thought about
how un-stressful the lives of Paige and Phoebe were, they didn't
have kids. And she felt a twinge of envy. "But on the other side"
she thought " they don't have the pleasure seeing something you
created, grow and become persons, with their own opinions, and their
strength of course and they don't have Leo. I hope Phoebe will
find what she needs in Les." she thought smiling and she went to
the store. Determined to make it a great meal.
