For any of you that can't remember when Rose was in this, it was in the first part of the story, Back To Your Heart. Rose always came across to me as being a bit unstable in GA, so i decided to play on that, the women is delusional. Anyway Back to Seattle...is it a good thing or not. Enjoy!
They landed in Seattle, on time and unsurprisingly it was raining. Mark was meeting them at the airport, and take Adam to his place, while they went home, they had agreed not to take Adam to the house with them until after they seen what damage she had done. Once they had gotten their bags, and walked out into the airport, they saw Mark there waiting for them. Mark pulled Meredith in for a hug, while Derek shot him evils, Mark just laughed.
"You look good, Meredith, nice and relaxed"
"Well i was till last night" Mark simply nodded, and gave Derek a manly hug, before bending down to Adam
"Hey buddy, did you have fun with mommy and daddy?"
"Uncle Markie, yeah, daddy taught me to swim"
"Did he?"
"Yeah, you swim like this" Adam proceeds to move his arms as if he swimming.
"Oh, so that is how you do it. Listen buddy, do you fancy spending some time over at Uncle Mark's"
"Yeah, can i mommy? Please"
"Of course you can, baby. You got to promise to be good, and we'll get uncle Mark to drop you off later"
"Be good, i promise"
"Okay, come here and give mommy and daddy a hug" Adam gives them both a hug, before holding Mark hand, and walking towards the airport entrance.
"Oh Mark" Derek calls out to him, Mark turns around.
"Yeah"
"No using my son to pick up girls"
"Darn, why didn't i think about that" Mark grins at Derek. Derek just shakes his head, watching Mark and Adam disappear into the distance. Derek turns to his wife.
"Are you ready to go home?"
"Not really, but i suppose we have too"
"Well, we could arrange for Mark to have Adam overnight and we get a hotel" Derek winks at her; Meredith giggles at him, and wraps an arm around his waist, and rests her head of his shoulder.
"Let's go home, Derek"
"Okay" Derek says giving his wife a kiss on the head.
When they pull up to the house, just over an hour later, they both released a sigh of relief, at least everything looked normal on the outside, but they also knew that Mark had sorted it out, and cleaned it up for them after the incident. Derek went around Meredith side of the car, and helps her out; they left their bags in the car, deciding to check the house out first.
As they entered the house, they pull each other closer, a little afraid of what they might find, they are relieved to find the great room, kitchen and living area are fine, so they head upstairs to check the bedroom, they go into Adam room, and sees that it looks alright, once they close the door and head over to their bed, Meredith is in shock at the state of the room when she walks in, she knows that Mark has sorted out the worst of it, but it hits her like a ton of bricks, seeing that photos had been ruined, including some old one's of them from years ago which was irreplaceable, and that some of her clothes had been slashed. Mer quickly runs to the bathroom, to throw up, Derek is right behind her, holding her hair back and rubbing her back, trying to comfort her, but finding that he can't, and for the first time in two years he feels completely hopeless, seeing his wife break down like this.
"Mer, i am sorry"
"Don't Derek" Meredith said before hugging the toilet bowl again. Derek can feel Mer pulling away from him, and shutting him out.
"Meredith, please don't push me away"
"Derek, she was in our..."
"I know, baby and i am so sorry"
"We need to do something Derek"
"I know, but what?"
"I don't know, yet, but would you mind if we asked Mark to have Adam overnight, i don't want him here not tonight"
"Okay, I'll call Mark"
"Thank you, go and call him now" Derek kisses her on the top of her head and goes and calls Mark, while Derek is on the phone, he hears the front door slam shut, he quickly say by to Mark, and walks through the house.
"Mer" he calls upstairs, when he hears a car pulling out of the driveway.
"Shit" Derek quickly goes outside, to see Meredith car turn out of sight. Derek quickly runs inside and grabs his car keys, cursing under his breath running out to his land rover.
He just misses the ferry over to Seattle, knowing full well, that Meredith was on at ferry, he tried her cell phone for the hundredth time, but she was ignoring him.
