As Meredith walked out of the closet door, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She could feel her eyes welling up with tears as she ran to the nearest on-call room.

It was done. She had ended it. She knew it was the right thing to do but then why did it hurt so much? She thought that she had mover on but had she really? No, she couldn't doubt herself. Of course she had moved on, she tried to convince herself. I love Mark. I'm in love with Mark, not Derek. She told herself. But in the back of her mind a thought dwelled, what if she had stayed? Would she and Derek been one big happy family? For some reason, she doubted it. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. She'd moved on.

Now she had a loving husband and an intelligent son. His son…In the back of her head, she knew that she should have told him, but it was too hard. How was she going to tell him that he had a son? The fact unknown to him for all these years. She couldn't. What if he decides to take Oliver away? Why had he come back? She didn't know what to do though in her mind, she knew exactly what she was going to do. Avoid. She'll avoid the problem. Avoid Derek.

Slowly she walked out of the room as she made the decision to not let Derek get to her. She looked at the clock to see that her shift was over. Slowly she made her way to the elevator. It seemed like forever before the elevator arrived. She pressed the 1 button as the doors closed. Just as the door was about to shut a hand slid in and the elevator door proceeded to open revealing none other than Dr. Derek Shepard.

The expression on his face seemed pained and somber, his eyes seemed red and swollen as if he had been crying. He looked at her with a little glimmer of hope as she looked away. He frowned at her reaction feeling defeated. The elevator ride seemed like it lasted forever as Derek would steal quick looks at Meredith. The elevator finally arrived to a steady stop as the elevator doors opened revealing none other than Mark Sloan.

He looked at Meredith's somber face and realized something was wrong.

"Hey" she said with a surprised tone in her voice.

"I was just going to come pick you up." he said as he kissed her on the cheek quickly.

"Yeah, I finished early." she said sadly.

"Let's go, Oliver's waiting." He said looking strangely at the blue-eyed, dark-haired man that stood there just listening to their conversation.

Meredith took one last look at Derek as she slowly followed Mark to their car.


A/N: So in this chapter, Derek and Mark finally meet, though Derek knows about Mark, Mark knows nothing about Derek. Oh as for Meredith's son's name. It's Oliver. Sorry if I accidentally typed Jeremy. It was the original name for Meredith's son. But it's really Oliver. So as for the pairing it's still not too late to vote! So far….MerDer:7 while MerMark:6. As you can see one vote can change everything. I'm sorry if this update is a little short, I've been kinda busy….
