Sorry for hopping around this chapter should be the last jump in time.

2 year into the future

"These have been some of the best years in not only my life, but many others who have been able to just sit back and enjoy the ride. I would have to tell you that collage wouldn't have been that much fun with out my girlfriend. That's why I wanted to ask her a question." Derek stated looking Meredith in the front row.

Meredith sat in the front row next to a girl that she had made friends with. Her eyes were starting to fill with tears, her and Derek had been dating ever since the beginning, but she didn't think that he wanted to settle down.

"Meredith Nicole Grey, will you marry me?" Derek asked.

Everyone was rooting for her to say yes, everyone but Addison of corse. She had tried so hard to break them apart over the corse of collage.

Meredith shouted yes, everyone in the room cheered as she walked up the stairs to the stage. When she got there she watched Derek slip the ring onto her finger. She was so happy, she looked up at him her eyes were full of tears, so were his. The crowd stopped cheering as somebody crashed the happy moment.

"NO!"The stranger yelled into the crowd.

Derek looked over at Meredith who was holding him tighter.

"I can't believe that you would go out and get yourself another man. You just weren't satisfied with me were you." The man threw insults at her.

"Finn get away."Meredith tried to sound threatening.

"Oh, sweetheart you don't want to give me a hello kiss?" Finn tried to get to her.

"You won't touch her." Derek warned.

"Oh, well, well, well you must be the knight in shining armor." Finn taunted.

"You take one more step, I will beat you worse than you beat her."Derek stated.

"Oh so you got to see the bruise, so you don't want me to touch her." Finn stated gabbing Meredith's chest.

"Get your hands off of her!" Derek yelled as he planted his fist in Finns face.

Finn got up and went to take a swing at him. Derek avoided the shot and punched him. Finn fell to the ground, Derek didn't think that he could knock some one out let alone kill. Derek fell to his knees and checked his pulse. He had one he was concuss.

Derek didn't notice the fist flying at his face. Derek rubbed his jaw as Finn stood up.

"You know Meredith looks really good naked." Finn stated trying to piss Derek off.

"Don't talk about her like that!" Derek yelled as he hurled a punch at Finn.

Everyone in the audience was in awe.

"Okay, break it up, break it up! You leave your not welcome here." The dean yelled at Finn. Finn walked out of the room, Derek pulled Meredith close, he wasn't going to let Finn ruin her, not again.


Meredith pulled up to her house. She was going to drop the "my mother is Ellis Grey" bomb on him before they went off to med school. Meredith was shocked to see Chief Webber sitting on the steps of her house. The chief was equally as shocked when he saw the man in the seat next to her.

"Hey Richard, were's my mom?" Meredith asked reaching out for Derek's hand.

"Meredith, I have some bad news. Your mother was killed in a car accident a couple days ago." Chief stated his voice cold.

"Your joking, right, this was all a big joke, she is right in there waiting for me to come in."Meredith didn't want to believe him, she finally stated to cry. Derek pulled her close and tried to calm her. When Meredith dried up her tears, she turned to the chief.

"Well I guess I can tell you my good news, I'm engaged." Meredith stated happily.

"That's great." The chief said.

"Oh and this is my fiance." Meredith stated.

"So when is the wedding?" Chief asked.

"After med school."Meredith stated.

"Well I have to get back, we have a full board at the hospital." Chief stated as he got into his car.

"So lets go in."Derek stated.

"Wait, when you walk through the doors of this house, don't even ask why I didn't tell you." Meredith stated as she walked into the house.

"Why would I ever question you." Derek stated.

"Oh, you'll see." Meredith stated as she opened the door.

All Derek saw was pictures. Pictures of Ellis Grey.

"Your mom was Ellis Grey?" Derek asked shocked.

"Why do you think I never told you." Meredith stated as she trudged upstairs to check out her room.

"Hey don't leave me down here alone."Derek stated.

"Then follow me."Meredith said.

Meredith pulled open the door to her room. Nothing had changed since she had left. Nothing, but there was a note left on her bed. Meredith looked down to see it had her name on it. She unfolded the letter. It was from her mom.

Dear Meredith,

I really miss you, I was really upset when I got your note saying that you left for school. I wish you luck...

There was nothing left on the paper, no more. Meredith sat the note back on her bed the same way it had been when she got there.

"You listened to Avril Lavigne?" Derek asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong with Avril?" Meredith asked

"Oh nothing. What's this CD?" Derek stated with a smile.

Meredith looked at him and smiled. She pushed the open button on her stereo and sat the CD in the player.

Derek put out his hand, they started to dance. Meredith placed her head on his shoulder as they danced. This was her mom and dad's song. Thatcher stood in the doorway to his daughters room. He didn't have much to do with her when she was a little girl, but he sure wanted to try to get to know her.

Meredith stopped when she saw her father.

"What do you want?" Meredith asked her voice was harsh.

"Meredith, how long can you shut me out?" Thatcher asked.

"As long as I want to." Meredith's statement was cold and bone chilling.

"Well I'm sure you want to know who he is." Meredith stated pointing at Derek.

"Well that would be a good place to start." Thatcher stated.

"Okay Derek, my dad, thatcher Derek my faience." Meredith stated.

"Glad to meet yea."Derek stuck his hand out for thatcher to shake it.

"Okay, we have to get on the road." Mereidth stated pulling the CD out of the radio, and slipping it into her bag.


Med school was a lot different than collage. Meredith and Derek weren't in the same room. They didn't even talk that much during the day.

2 years later grads from med school .

Meredith couldn't wait to get back to Seattle to work at Seattle Grace. She grew up in that hospital. Derek walked over to her, even if they were apart, it only brought them closer together. Meredith and Derek took one more trip around the town before heading back to Seattle to start careers.

Meredith and Derek both got internships at Settle Grace.


Meredith walked into the over crowded locker room. She looked at the number on the locker, she looked over at Derek his was straight across from hers.

"Meredith? Meredith is that you?"Cristina asked walking closer.

"Cris! You got in to?" Meredith asked shocked.

"Yeah, is that a ring?" Cristina asked. looking at Meredith's hand.

Meredith looked back at Derek and then at Cristina.

"Yeah." Meredith said holing up her hand.

"Well your man isn't going to like that intern hitting on you."Cristina stated looking over at Derek.

" Cris that is my guy."Meredith stated looking back at Derek motioning for him to come over.

Derek walked over to Meredith and Christina.

"Derek, this is Christina, my best friend."Meredith told him.

"It's great to meet you." Derek stated reaching out to shake her hand.

"Right back at yea." Christina stated.

"GREY, YANG, SHEPARD, O'MALIY, STEVENS!" the voice called out.

"That's great you got Baily to."George stated not noticing the ring on Meredith's finger. Meredith shook her head and walked away.

"Don't think about it Bambi, she's off the market." Alex stated.

"What do you mean, I would know if she was off the market." George stated hoping that Alex wasn't telling the truth.

"Dude, you didn't see the oversized rock on her finger? She's engaged to that Derek kid." Alex stated.

George just walked out of the room. Why did god hate him?
