Sarah swung her feet as she sat in the large leather chair in front of her dad. Derek had his hand under his chin and stared intently at her.
"Who told you Sarah?"
"Al-I mean, my mom…"
"You're mom?"
"Yep."
He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "That's weird…I didn't think your mom wanted to tell you."
"Well…she did." The 2 sat in silence for a minute, then Sarah asked a question. A question she had to ask.
"Do you love my mom?"
Derek looked up. "Huh?"
"Do you love her?"
A small smile tugged the sides of Derek lips. "I love her hair, and her eyes. And that she's bossy…she could take anybody out if she tried!"
Sarah giggled.
"So yeah…I do love her."
Sarah smiled. "Well I think she loves you…so maybe you can get back together! Then you could get married and we could all move back to Boston and…"
"Sarah…"
"What? It's a great plan!"
"But…everything is different. We can't just leave everything behind and start over."
Tears filled Sarah's beautiful eyes. "But…but your back with each other! I could actually say to my friends: I have a dad!"
"I know, but…"
She started yelling now. "I don't get it! You said you loved her! When you love someone you're supposed to be together!"
"But it doesn't always work out that way…"
"YES IT DOES! YOU NEED TO GET BACK TOGETHER! I NEED TO HAVE A DAD!"
"But, you do…I'm your dad."
She couldn't stop the tears that streamed down her face. "But, but I want you…"
"Married to your mom?"
"Yeah! Why can't you?!"
Derek sighed. He felt extremely bad for Sarah, but didn't know what to say to her. "Sarah, life…you can't control it."
Sarah wiped away the glistening tears from her face, and looked out the window.
"You don't want me do you…"
"What? No Sarah, I…"
"YOU DON'T WANT ME OR MY MOM CAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULD TRY HARDER TO WIN HER BACK!"
"Sarah!"
"SAVE IT DOCTOR SHEPHERD!" With that, she stormed out of the room, slamming the door on her way out.
Derek placed his hands on his face and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, Karen walked in.
"Who's that little girl crying in the hall?"
Derek looked up and shrugged.
"Oh well, you know your "old friend"?"
Derek slowly nodded.
"Well I think he's with that Karev kid…"
Derek immediately said, "What? I mean, why do you think that?"
She examined her nails. "Cause I saw them making out in the stairwells…"
Derek stared at her then back down at his stacks of papers. Meredith and Alex kissing?! Are they together! Derek felt the room getting smaller. He then mumbled, "Oh…"
"Yeah…they seem like a cute couple!"
Derek stared straight ahead and slowly nodded his head.
"Alright, well tomorrow we are having that dinner with my parents so I wanted you to come shopping with me…so we can pick out a good outfit for you!"
Derek didn't respond, he just kept his eyes fixed on the dark green couch ahead of him.
"Derek?! Hello? Are you okay?!"
"Uh, yeah sure…shopping, sure."
Karen tilted her small head to the left and sighed. "Fine…"
A/N: Okay, so basically...Sarah wants Derek. Meredith wants Alex. So, like I said before, Meredith is going to have to make a decision for herself AND for Sarah. Hmmm, tough choice...
P.S: It also might change...maybe Sarah will start liking Alex more and Meredith might go back to loving Derek...but for right now it's: Merex and Sader (ha i made that up!) ;)
