so this is mers family.... to save confusion
Alison Cameron - or Allie. Merediths twin sister. Married Nick Cameron before college, now works with Dr Gregory House. Nick died 2 years after they married. He put up a hard fight.
Dr Mark Sloan. - Was originally Mark Grey, but on getting his doctorate and going to work in the same hospital as his mother he decided that he would go by Sloan. Sloan was his mothers maiden name. He is Merediths older brother.
Ellis Grey - merediths mother. Had a rocky road with her children, and never thought that they would get to their dream of being a doctor. Her partner is head nurse Caroline Shepherd. Both women came out of the closet and revealed their relationship to their family when Meredith was 15.
Thatcher Grey – Merediths dad. Has had a hard time regaining bonds with Meredith since she fell pregnant with the twins. He was so disappointed in her that he told her that he couldn't "look at her right now". These words have left a mark on Meredith, and therefore, she doesn't run into him unless she is visiting Molly or Lexie.
Susan Grey – Merediths step mother. While she has tried hard from the day that she married thatcher grey, she always seemed to find that Meredith tried to fight any relationship they have had. However, both girls did grow closer when Meredith went and stayed a few months when it was first found that Meredith was pregnant.
Lexie Grey – Merediths step sister. We wont be seeing much of her until later on in the fic. The girls have an okay relationship. But haven't seen each other for a few years.
Molly Grey Thompson – Merediths youngest step sister. While the girls were close, especially when Meredith was a wayward teen. They have formed stronger bonds since – much to their fathers displeasure. Molly married her high school sweetheart, and went on to fall pregnant. Thatcher is worried that she has idolised the twins too much.
Caroline Shepherd. Life partner of Ellis Grey Has 5 of her own Children
Kathleen Shepherd - Caroline's oldest daughter. Psychologist.
Nancy Shepherd - never a real fan of Meredith, but have been civil towards each other to keep the peace.
Lillian Shepherd - The fun energetic Shepherd sister. Has become great friends with Meredith. The two girls are often together.
Derek Shepherd - while it had taken him a bit to adjust to having this new extended family, Derek now dotes on Meredith and her girls. They had a rocky start as Merediths attitude had a tendency to shove him in his place and intimidate him.
Margaret Shepherd - Aka Maggie - is the youngest Shepherd, and while she gets along well with Merediths family, and loves the twins, she is still fairly quiet. She is the arty one and has tried to shy away from anything remotely hospital based.
.....................LOVE STORY.............
Meredith finally built up the courage to get out of the car after some coaxing from Caroline and the girls.
She looked at the nervously as they all beamed up at her.
"Hurry mom before you're later." Hope said as she moved to give her a hug.
"Dont make grumpy too mad." Grace added.
"I'll bring the girls by after school." Caroly told her as she squeezed Merediths shoulder. "Now dont keep your mother waiting." she bossed.
Meredith bit her bottom lip as she looked up at the building. It stood tall, and daunting in front of her.
"Here's to making it" she murmured as she began to make her way into the hospital she had practically grown up in.
.................LOVE STORY................
Meredith walked nervously into the hospital. She had a feeling today. She was unable to decide whether it was actually nerves, or if it was something. She was usually pretty good at knowing things but today, well today there was just too much going on.
Looking at the time she knew that she really needed to get to the surgical floor in 10 minutes. She also knew that if she waited for the elevator then the chance was that she would be late. And one thing that Meredith was sure of was that she couldnt be late. If she had chosen another hospital then maybe it would be possible, but in a hospital where her mother was the chief... it wasnt likely.
She took the steps 2 at a time. Rushing and yet being careful not to slip. She didnt want anything to go wrong today.
As she plunged through te stair well door she tripped and felt someones arms wrap around her.
"Sorry" Meredith mumbled, but as she looked up at the person who caught her she couldnt help but groan.
"Gees Mer, you're always falling at my feet." her brother said with a smirk.
Meredith quickly stood up before pushing him back. "Mark how many times do i have to tell you that you dont use the lines you use to pick up women on your baby sister."
Mark cringed at her words. "Your right." he said and Meredith smirked at Mark.
"It's kind of like that "your mom" joke that you used to say until you realised that you were dissing mom." She reminded him.
Again Mark cringed.
Meredith giggled before looking down at her watch. "Crap" she cursed.
"What?" Mark asked.
"I'm late" she groaned as she then turned to run off.
Mark chuckling as she left.
