Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, although I wish I did.

I was sitting at a table in the cafeteria listening to everyone gossip about me. Of course they heard my mum was THE Ellis Grey, and how I'm inbred. It just couldn't get any better could it? I thought sarcastically as I took a bite out of my sandwich. I felt my phone vibrate and grabbed it out of my pocket and seen a message from Arizona.

Mer, I know everyone has found out about your "inbredness" but try not to worry okay? Love Z xx.

"So, you're the inbred then?". Said Christina as she placed her tray on the table with her lunch on it. I sighed and glared at Christina.

"I sure am, you got a problem?".I asked staring at her. Christina returned my stare for awhile before she spoke.

"Whose service are you on today?". She asked. I guess she didn't have a problem.

"Shephards. What're you doing after your shift?". I asked taking another bite of my sandwich as I typed a quick reply to Arizona and put my phone away.

"I'm guessing going for a drink, you?". She replied.

"More than likely unpacking then going for a drink". I replied. Just then, our pagers went off. We picked them up off the table and ran, leaving our food where it was.

A few hours later, I was headed home. I was standing in the elevator just as the doors opened and Derek Shepherd walked in and stood behind me. I stood there and then shivered.

"Stop looking at me like that". I said.

"Like what?". Asked Derek with a grin.

"Like you've seen me naked". I replied.

"Oh but I have". Said Derek as he pressed up behind me. I groaned.

"So you're mums THE Ellis Grey, you're the inbred one". Said Derek. I moved out of his closeness and turned towards him.

"Yes my mum's Ellis Grey and yes I'm inbred, got a problem?". I asked just as the elevator doors opened. He shook his head and I left, leaving him standing there staring at me. I jumped in my car and drove home, dodging my way through the traffic but being careful of the wet ground. It's always wet in Seattle, no wonder I'm so pale, there's no sunlight. I arrived at home and found Arizona's car already in the drive way. I parked my car behind Zonie's and got out, grabbing my bag along the way and walked up the stairs and into the house. I walked up the stairs and walked into her room.

"What up Z?". I asked as I entered her room to find her lying on her back on her bed.

"Not much, just thinking about the day". She replied. I placed my bag on the ground, slipped off my shoes, and laid on the bed next to her on my back.

"What happened today?". I asked.

"I saved a little girls life; she came in with death defying problems and I left today knowing she was going to live the rest of her life to full extent; do you know how good that is?". Asked Arizona. I smiled.

"Yeah Zonie, I kinda do, but I do know how amazing that makes you feel because you're an attending and you save kids lives every day. I saved a girl's life today too. She had a brain aneurism, she was one in a million and I found that one in a million and saved her life". I smiled, remembering how good it felt to save her life.

"That's right, I saw your surgery, the scrubs suite you. You went in with Dr Sheppard". Said Arizona.

"Yeah, with Derek". I replied nodding my head. Shit, did I just say Derek?

"Did you just say Derek?". Asked Arizona as I felt her turn her head and stare at me.

"I need to tell you something". I said as I lay on my side and faced her, propping myself up with my arm.

"What's up?". Asked Arizona curiously.

"I slept with Derek". I mumbled as I turned and laid face down on the mattress.

"You what now?". Gasped Arizona.

"I, Meredith Grey, slept with Derek Sheppard, last night, in my bed, naked.". I replied. We sat there in silence for awhile, I looked up, it was quiet, had she gone to sleep? I lifted my arm and looked under, seeing Arizona thinking.

"You right Zonie?". I asked.

"You slept with Derek. Sheppard?". Asked Arizona. I laughed and turned around and lay on her stomach.

"I did". I replied. Arizona ran her fingers through my hair.

"That I did not see coming". Continued Arizona. I sighed, I love it when she runs her fingers through my hair.

"I've missed this". I said.

"Missed what?". Asked Arizona as she continued to run her fingers through my hair.

"This, us. Being able to talk to you like we are now and knowing that you're always there for me and that you're right next door. I mean, sure, I know you're always there for me, but I haven't always felt completely safe, unlike now and when we were little. When we were little, everything was crap, but you were my consistent, you were the one thing in my life that stayed the same and that whenever I was with you, I felt safe, and I still do feel safe with you. I know when I'm safe because I have this tingling sensation that never goes away, and that feeling, I always have when I'm with you, and it's even greater when it's just you and me, especially at home, you know?". I replied, smiling tiredly as I laid my head on her pillow and lay on my side.

"I know what you mean, I get that same feeling but mine is more like the nervous butterfly feeling, you're my little sister Mer, I'm always here for you. No matter where we are or what we are doing, okay?". Asked Arizona as I felt her lying down behind me.

"Always Zee". I whispered as I began to fall asleep.

"Love you Mer". Whispered Arizona as she turned off the light.

"Always Zonie".
