Meredith awoke the next morning to find herself on the floor of the living wearing nothing but a blanket over her. She quickly wrapped it around her body and crept up the stairs trying not to wake a sleeping Katherine. She quickly jumped into the shower thinking what she had just done. She had slept with Derek Shepherd yet once again. Slept with another woman's boyfriend, fiancé or even worse husband. She really was an adulterous whore. She quickly washed her hair with her lavender shampoo and got out of the shower. She quickly got dressed and went to wake up Katherine to find Derek in there putting the finishing touches on her outfit. A little pair of jeans and a cute sweater and he was just finishing putting on her little Mary-Jane shoes.
"Mommy!" said Katherine as she jumped off from her spot on the bed and raced into Meredith's arms.
"Hi Kat. Did you sleep well last night?" asked Meredith as she stroked her hair.
"Uh-huh. Mommy look Derek got me all dressed this morning?" said an excited Katherine.
"I can see that." said Meredith looking directly at Derek when she said this.
"Well I figured your first day back, your morning would be a little stressful so I thought I could help." said Derek as he stood up.
"Thank you but that was not necessary at all. I can dress my own daughter." said Meredith angrily as she picked her daughter up and carried her down the stairs.
"Look Meredith I was just trying to help." said Derek as he followed quickly after her down the stairs and then reached the living room with her.
"Well stop trying to help! I can handle her myself. I've done this long enough, I can continue to do it without anyone's help." said Meredith as she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a banana and quickly unpeeled it and handed to Katherine." Now if you excuse me I don't want to be late on my first day back." said Meredith as she ushered Derek out of the house with her and locked the door behind them both. She quickly put Katherine into her seat and shut the door and walked back over to Derek.
"Look I know what you're trying to do. Just stop trying to get attached to her. Because when you do she'll get attached and I can't have her doing that." said Meredith.
"And why not?" asked Derek.
"Because I just can't." said Meredith as she got into the car and started to quickly drive off to the hospital. Leaving Derek very confused.

Meredith quickly changed into her scrubs and went to look for Rose after she dropped Katherine off at daycare. She needed to apologize for what she had done. She couldn't live with the guilt. She found her in an x-ray room.
"Dr. Grey?" asked a surprised Rose.
"I'm sorry." said Meredith.
"Sorry for what?" asked Rose bewildered at what she could be talking about.
"I slept with Derek. And I'm sorry for ruining your relationship or marriage or what ever you two have going on." rambled Meredith.
"Dr. Grey." started Rose.
"I'm really not a bad person. I'm not the kind of person that tries to ruin relationships intently. You have to believe me when I say I'm kind good hearted person." said Meredith continuing to ramble.
"Dr. Grey." said Rose a little bit louder finally getting her attention.
"Yes." said Meredith.
"You don't have to apologize because you haven't done anything. Derek and I aren't together. We haven't been for almost two and a half years. There is no need to apologize." said Rose.
"Oh." said Meredith sitting down in an empty chair." I'm sorry I just assumed..." said Meredith.
"It's quite alright. I know what you assumed." said Rose." But now you can un-assume." she said as she smiled at her and grabbed an x-ray and left the room, leaving a very dazed Meredith.

Meredith and just finished cleaning up dinner and had put Katherine to bed, when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it to reveal Derek standing outside on the porch. She shook her head angrily.
"Why are you trying to get close to her?'' asked Meredith.
"Why is it so bad if I try and get close to my daughter?" said Derek as Meredith gasped.
