Okay my little Pumpkins I am finally going to introduce you to Derek and Meredith. Both are the key characters of Grey's Anatomy. Also incase there is anyone that does not know, Jeff Perry (Cyrus) played Thatcher Grey, Meredith's father on Grey's. And Kate Burton (VP Sally Langston) played Meredith's mother Dr. Ellis Grey. It's almost like one big happy family reunion. Lol…enjoy and here goes nothing. ;-)

Chapter 4: Dr. Derek Shepard (Mc Dreamy) and Dr. Meredith Grey

Olivia boarded her flight out of DC late afternoon. Before she left she called Stephen. After getting over the initial shock of the news he made plans to come back to DC the day of her surgery and to help her recovery, and after her release from the hospital.

While on the plane she read over all the files Abby, Quinn, Harrison and Huck gave to her on Dr. Derek Shepard and Meredith Grey.

Derek's file read like this; Dr. Derek Christopher Shepard. Age 45 Lives in Seattle Washington. Head of Neuro Surgery at Seattle Grace, Mercy West Hospital. Married to Dr. Meredith Grey daughter of the world know surgeon Dr. Ellis Grey. One daughter, Zola. Zola is an adopted child from Africa. 18 months of age. Dr. Shepard has three sisters and he's the only boy. He grew up in New York where he went to college and medical school. At a young age he watched his father get shot in front of him. It was a mugging and his father refused to give the man his watch. The watch was a gift from his mother.

At medical school he met Addison Forbes Montgomery. They were married for 10 years. They divorced because he caught her in bed with his best friend Dr. Mark Sloan who is now deceased. Mark died from injuries he suffered from a plane crash in May 2012. His surgery death to survival rate is over 75 percent. He became the known as the tumor destroyer after in 2008 him and his wife discovered a new way of treating inoperable tumors (like Olivia has.)

Dr. Shepard was the chief of surgery at the hospital from 2009-2010. On his first case being the new top "gladiator" in town the wife of a Mr. Clark went into a coma. She was brain dead and had to be taken of the machines. Mr. Clark blamed Derek for his wife's death among some of the other staff and a shooting occurred. Derek was shot in the heart and following this incident he resigned.

Derek also loves coffee ice cream, fishing, fast cars, and is extremely dedicated his work and family. He IS the BEST neuro-surgeon the in country. Oh and he loves ferry boats. Olivia read that and smiled and did a chuckle.

"Now onto Dr. Grey's file." Her file reads as follows; Dr. Meredith Grey, Age 42, Lives in Seattle Washington. Daughter of Thatcher and Dr. Ellis Grey. The same Ellis Grey that won the Harper Avery award for the "Ellis Grey" method. Her mother died in 2007 due to a heart problem. Her father, Thatcher, lost his second wife due to a complication arising from the hic-cups. Meredith was part of the team that cared for her. She also has two sisters. Alexis Grey who is now deceased. She died due to injuries from a plane crash. Yes the same crash that claimed Mark Sloan.

Married to Dr. Derek Shepard. She's an attending surgeon at Seattle Grace, Mercy West Hospital in general surgery. One daughter, Zola. She suffered a miscarriage the day of the shooting at the hospital. (WOW, Olivia though.) She worked side by side with her husband on creating the "Shepard Method" for treating inoperable tumors. It was her idea and technique. (Will discuss later on.)

She attended college and medical school in Boston. Her mother Ellis Grey also had Alzeimer's disease. Meredith and Derek were working on a clinical trial for Alzeimer's but got black-listed by the FDA. She tampered with the triail to help one of the patients. Nothing she did changed any of the data but she did switch the placebo's and control around. Because of this her and Derek cannot do any trials for the FDA anymore. (That could be useful..thought Olivia.)

After the plane landed, she got her bags, and checked into the hotel. Seattle was a very pretty city she thought. On her way to the hospital she took in all the local sites. As her car pulled up to the hospital her heart began to race. She went to the desk and asked for Dr. Shepard and Dr. Grey. Both were paged and arrived about 5 minutes later. Everyone introduced themselves and Olivia was walked to a conference room.

Olivia was taken back at how much Derek reminded her of Fitz. He has ice blue eyes and a real nice head of hair. He was not as tall as Fitz but he did have that commanding presence. Meredith was shorter , blond, with lighter blue/hazel eyes. She was definitely not intimated by Olivia and new her stuff.

"Miss Pope, your doctor in DC faxed us a copy of your medical records. Luckily for you, he did most of the lab work, and tests needed. We may have to do another MRI before surgery to see if the tumor has grown any larger however." Said Derek.

"As you know the tumor you have is located in the Cerebrum of your brain. To be precise, the Frontal and Occipital lobes. Due to its location its extremely hard for it to be removed. It we were to remove it, you would have difficulty walking, talking, and seeing. Our approach is something different and we are some of the only doctors in the country that do this type of surgery."

"Okay Dr. Shepard and Grey, what exactly are you going to be doing to my brain then? If you can't cut it out, what are you going to do?" said Olivia.

"We are going to inject a live virus into your tumor. Once the virus is inside the tumor it will start to shrink it. This virus only attacks the tumor not any other part of your brain. No healthy brain tissue will be affected," said Meredith.

"What are the side effects I mean besides me not waking up?"

"Besides a headache, your speech pattern may slow down. You not be able to talk right away. Your vision could be blurry for a while, and you could have some paralysis in your legs or arms until the tumor starts to shrink. Also if we do not operate soon you could start having seizures." Said Derek.

"I did my research and I read about your clinical trial and the last patient you worked on was Beth Monroe. She could not move her right arm. You injected this virus into her brain, and when she woke up she was able to move it. She was your success story. So I guess I am next on that list." Olivia mentioned.

Meredith and Derek were surprised at this statement. "My you did your homework then Miss Pope."

"Yes Dr. Shepard and Dr. Grey I did. It's part of my job."

"Not to change the subject but didn't you work in the white house? I remember seeing you on the TV at press conferences for the President. How exciting. You also helped President Grant get elected. You worked on his campaign." Said Meredith.

Olivia felt strange talking about Fitz but she was cordial. "Yes I used to work in the White House, but I opened my own law firm now in DC. Speaking of that, my surgery has to be in DC. All my friends are there and if something were to go wrong I would want them to have the access needed for my care."

"That is highly irregular but our chief if surgery can clear it with the hospital there it shouldn't be a problem." Said Derek.

"We will schedule your surgery for a week from today if that gives you enough time. The tumor should not grow too much bigger in a week's time. You must be at the hospital the day before for lab work, a new MRI and CAT scan, and blood work. Dr. Grey and I will also be arriving the day before to help with this process," said Derek.

"Thank you." Said Olivia.

Derek and Meredith were about to leave the room but Meredith decided to stay behind.

"Miss Pope is there ANY other reason why you want the surgery to be in DC? I know you said so your friends and family could be there to help but I don't think you're telling us everything?"

Olivia was shocked at this statement. "Well there is someone. He's very important to me Dr. Grey and if I had the surgery here it would be almost impossible for him to get to be with me in time without much difficulty."

"Ah so there's a significant other? Why couldn't he come with you today?" Meredith asked.

"He has a very important job and it keeps us apart. I am not even sure why I am telling you this Dr. Grey but my gut says I can trust you. If I were to die and this man could not be with me it would destroy him. I haven't even told him about this yet. I am going to tell him when I get back to DC. He's the ONE if you get my meaning. How would you tell him something like this?"

"Well loving someone is not an easy thing. But be honest with him and let him know above all else that you love him. Ask for his forgiveness in keeping this from him and I hope things work out. Derek and I had some really rough patches for a time but we finally were able to get together. I wish you the best Miss Pope and good luck. If you need to talk, please call. Derek and I will see you next week."

"Dr. Grey…thank you." Said Olivia

As Meredith left the room her curiosity spiked. She did not know a lot about Olivia Pope, but one thing was certain. Whomever this man was, he must be her "McDreamy." After all she did work for the President of the United States, and he is good looking. She wondered what man could top that. Little did Meredith and Derek realize that the President is her "McDreamy" and they discover that soon enough.
