Thanks for the reviews of the prologue.
Here's now my first proper chapter. I hope the english isn't that bad. I tried my best. ;)
Chapter 1
"Derek, hi. Why are you calling?"
"Do you know where our daughter is?"
"What? You are calling me to ask me where our daughter is? You can't be serious about that."
"Addie, just answer."
Addison sighed: "She's at Jen's house, they have a sleep over."
"Addie, she isn't there. She just arrived a few hours ago."
"WHAT? You're telling me that my daughter is in SEATTLE!"
"Yeah! OUR daughter is in Seattle…", he stopped, "why do you know I'm in Seattle?"
"Derek I …. Richard called."
"What? Why did he call you? He promised me that he wouldn't call you."
"You will get a TTTS tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know … he wants you to do it. Right?"
"Yes."
"Your on your way?"
"Yes."
"Did Amelia know that?"
"I only told her I would go to Seattle because of a TTTS, but I didn't tell her, you were there. Derek listen, I know you hate me and I think you have every right to hate me, but she's your daughter, your little girl. She was so upset … and you didn't even picked up the phone. I thought that even if you didn't want to talk to me, you would talk to her, but you didn't. She's … you know her … just make sure that she's ok. I will talk to her, when I arrive. You know where she is?"
"She just left a few minutes ago."
"She will be at some hotel, try some fancy hotel … maybe something with five stars. Don't let her go back to New York, we have to talk about that. I am so sorry Derek about what happened and…"
But Derek didn't let her go on speaking: "You know, I have to go. I'll take care of Ami. See you tomorrow", and before she could say anything he hung up.
Meredith sat on her bed and was sobbing. Christina just arrived.
"Hey Mer, what happened?", she asked and sat down next to her best friend, but Meredith sobbed so hard, that she couldn't answer, so Christina went on asking, "Something at work?", Meredith shook her head. "Something with your mother?", again Meredith shook her head. Christina sighed and asked, "Something with McDreamy?"
Meredith looked at her and said, "He can't be serious I … she just arrived and looked gorgeous with her perfect red curls, tall, skinny and a tight dark denim and a black shirt with a blazer. She should have braces and pickles in her face…."
"Mer, what are you talking about?"
"He has a daughter."
"Oh…"
". I … she was just, the first thing she told me was "Hi, I'm Amelia Serena Naomi Savanah Montgomery-Shepard and you must be the slutty intern, who screws my dad.", which teenager says something like this? And after that she told me that her mother is his wife. This isn't fair!"
"Mer… I'm sorry about that, but come one… maybe his wife is … ugly."
"I don't think so. If you had seen his daughter, you wouldn't think so. She looked a bit like him, but there was definitively some other beautiful person involved by creating her."
"Oh come on Mer… don't do that. Did he talk to you?"
"No, I went away."
"Maybe you should talk to him. I mean… he obviously left his wife…"
"Yeah…."
"You sleep now and tomorrow you will talk with him about that", Christina commanded and Meredith couldn't do anything but nod.
Meanwhile at Joe's.
Amelia wanted to go to her hotel, but she didn't want to be alone, so she went to some random bar. She sat down at the counter.
"Hey, can I have a beer?", she looked at the barman.
Joe looked at his new guest: "Don't you think, your too young to drink beer", Amelia only sighed, "but I could give you a coke", he added, when he saw her sad face. He didn't know why, but he couldn't stand that this girl looked so sad. She smiled at him: "Yeah sure. By the way, I'm Amelia."
He smiled back: "Joe", he said and served her the coke.
Alex, Izzie and George were sitting at one of the tables.
"So you know what happened?", Izzie asked George.
"No, Christina didn't say anything, only something about Shepard and Meredith. Don't know… whatever this is getting old, they fight, they get back together…"
Alex didn't hear anything of what Izzie or George said, he watched the girl at the counter. She really looked damn beautiful. She had long red curls, was really tall and skinny. He stood up and went over to her: "Hey!"
She turned around: "Hey."
"So… you're new right."
"Yeah… I …. I'm only here for a visit and will leave tomorrow."
"Oh", he sat down next to here, "why are you here? I mean … you aren't even old enough to buy alcohol."
She shrugged: "I don't like to be alone and the visit didn't go very well, so I'm here."
"What about your parents?"
She laughed: "My father left my mother and me a few month ago and before that he was never home and my mom is … miserable and at home and doesn't know I'm here and I hope she never finds out, because she would kill me, if she knew."
"I'm sorry about that."
"No, don't be … I live in New York and you live in Seattle… I should be sorry… is it always that rainy here?", she said and laughed.
Alex laughed too: "Most of the times. By the way, I'm Alex."
"Amelia."
"So tell me, what are you doing when you aren't in a bar."
"I have to go to school, but most times this isn't that bad and I play the piano. I really love that. I played with the New York philharmonics orchestra a few months ago, that was great."
"So you're pretty good."
"I try my best. What about you?"
"I'm a surgeon", Alex answered and Amelia sighed, "Just like my parents."
"Oh, come on. It isn't that bad. I'm a nice guy."
Amelia giggled, "Yeah maybe, but you're too old for me."
Alex laughed, "Yeah, I know, but we could be friends."
Amelia smiled at him, "Yeah, friends are good, but I better go now, because I have to catch an early flight back to New York tomorrow."
"Wait, I'll bring you to your hotel. You shouldn't go alone."
"Thanks."
The left Joe's together and Alex drove Amelia to the Archfield and was astonished, "This is your hotel?"
Amelia shrugged, "Yeah, when my parents and I visit Seattle we always stayed here, so it was the easiest to get a room without many questions."
"Your full of surprises Amelia", Alex laughed and Amelia smiled, "Yeah. That's me. So goodnight Alex, it was really a nice evening", she gave him a hug and a kiss on his cheek.
Alex wrote his number down, "If you need something… maybe a ride to the airport or someone to talk… call me."
"That's nice Alex. Thanks. I'll call you, when I'm back at New York. You know I'm a New York girl. It's really too rainy here in Seattle."
Alex laughed, "Yeah, but you get used to the rain."
"So, it was nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is on my hand", he said and laughed. They gave each other a hug, before she left the car. Alex was astonished, normally he wasn't that nice, but this girl became this one evening something like a little sister to him. He shook his head and drove home.
Amelia entered a little while later her room, when she turned on the light she nearly jumped in surprise. Someone was sitting at the armchair in her room.
So, what do you think?
Liked it?
Didn't like it?
