Future - Mer's Pov
Five years later, Alex and I were now married. It seemed like a long and complicated journey. The baby was now five years old. We named her Jasmine. She is my joy and love. Zola is 10 years old. She is in 4th grade. I can't believe my Zozo is almost a teen. I honestly don't want her to grow up. I want her to stay my little girl forever. Baliey is 8 and Ellis 7 is now. My kids are growing up so fast.
Alex came bursting into our room with a cake. I opened my eyes, surprised to see the cake with icing writing spelling out "Congrats mom". I forgot to mention I won a Harper Avery award. My eyes widened as the girls and Baliey came along behind them.
"Alex, you didn't have to make me a cake." I said as I picked up Jasmine and placed her on the bed. Alex looked at me like I was delirious. "Mer, But you worked so hard. Why can't I spoil my wife and the mother of my child." Alex stated as he placed the cake on the nightstand. Zola, Baliey and Ellis started jumping on the bed. "Alex what about us? Don't you consider us as your kids too." Zola whined as she jumped higher on the bed. Alex got up and grabbed her. "Of course I think your mine kids too." Alex says as he spins her around. I watched as Zola was spun around. Watching her laugh and giggle really brought my emotions up. I still struggle with depression every once in a while. I still have the terrible nightmares about what has happened to me.
"Mer come get up. We have a little party at Grey Sloan for you." Alex encouraged as he pulled me up from the bed. I tried to dig my heel into the mattress, but he was too strong.
"Alex!" I whined as he threw over his shoulder and laughing as he brought me down the stairs. Zola, Baliey chuckled as they followed behind.
"Mer!" Alex mocked as he put me down. I stood on my feet and headed to the kichen. I rolled my eyes. Alex just kept laughing. I don't know why he thinks it's so funny. There was a knock at the door, I walked up to the door and pulled it open. Cris walked through the doorway carrying a bunch of roses.
"Morning, Evil Spawn." Cris mocked as she handed me the roses.
I turn my head to see Alex rolling his eyes. I looked at the card. From: Thatcher. I'm so proud of you, Meredith. I know you didn't really want me in your life after Lexie passed. And I understand, I was awful to you. I just wanted to congratulate you on winning a Harper Avery. You're mother would be so proud. Even though she didn't show it. She really did love you, Meredith. - Love Thatcher ( your father). I smiled at the card. I couldn't believe after all these years. He actually cared. I felt little tears poking at my eyes. Alex walked up to me and read the card.
"Awe Mer. It's okay don't cry." Alex said in a soothing tone as I curled into his arms. I wiped the tears from my eyes. I didn't exactly forgive him. I don't think I should be mad anymore. Maybe I will even give him a chance.
"I'm not crying. Okay, maybe but they were happy tears. My father actually congratulated me. That doesn't ever happen. Like ever." I explained as i smiled as I grabbed the coffee Alex made me. Cris looks at me and smiles.
"I'm happy that your the sun." She remarked as the sent a smirk over to Alex. And Alex rolled his eyes again. "Oh where is Evil spawnette?" Cris asked as she looked around the kichen.
"She is upstairs." Alex responds as he grabbed his bag off the dining room table. That table is usually used for all of our stuff, not much for eating.
"Guys we should get going. We are going to be late." Cris states as she turns on her heel and toward the door.
Alex, Zola, Baliey, Ellis and Jasmine head to the car. I get in the car. As we drive to Grey Sloan. I couldn't stop thinking about the ones who wouldn't be there. George I missed so much. Lexie my little sister. I didn't like her at first, but I grew to love her. It was a shame she was taking from us so early. She had so much potential, she could of been a wonderful Neurosurgeon. My mother who I wished would of spent more time with me. She wasn't the greatest mother, but she was still my mother no matter what. She's Ellis Grey. The world renowned General Surgeon and the winner of two Harper Avery's.
We arrived at the hospital. I opened the car door, I was in this elegant dress. I didn't really want to dress up but Jo insisted. Alex followed close behind me. The girls and Baliey climbed out of the car next. Cris was already waiting for us. When we walked through the doors of Grey Sloan, eyes turned. All the eyes were centered on me. I knew a lot of people appreciated my skills and work ethic. In the room where it was usually the E.R. It was now a party. I was surprised on how much effort was put into all this.
"Mer, Do you like?" Someone asked from behind me with a cheerful voice. I turned around to see April and Jo with huge smiles printed on their faces.
"Yes... wow this is amazing. How did you pull this off?" I asked as shock spread through my voice. April's smile just brightened even more. I have known April for a while now. I met her during the merger. It wasn't friendship at first sight. After Derek was shot by Gary Clark. Me and April started getting closer.
"It was no problem. Mer, I have known you for so many years. I just threw this party to celebrate and honor your great work ethic. I'm so impressed with all your techniques." April confessed as she pulled me in for a hug. I embrace the hug and Jo joins the hug.
The dance floor started booming loudly. Everyone raced to the dance floor. Alex tapped my shoulder. "Would you like a dance?" Alex asked in flirty tone. I took his hands and we danced in the center of the dance floor. As we swayed side to side. I felt like my life was finally was at its best. I had my family, the award I always wanted. The one thing that was missing was the people I lost. The people that made a huge impact on my life. I missed them so much. I wish they were here.
"Alex do you ever miss George?" I asked as we danced. Alex looks up at me. I wasn't sure what his reaction was going to be. He takes a breath and clears his throat.
" I do, Mer. Not cause I used to pick on him. Yes at one point was so really mad, he went after Izzie. But I always missed the guy. He is always going to be 007 in my eyes." Alex confessed as he pulls me closer to him. Hearing the words 007 to me back to being an intern. It felt like it was my first day. He was shamelessly flirting with me.
"I miss him a lot. And he wasn't a bad kisser." I stated as I watched Alex's face cringe. I started laughing. He actually thought I was serious.
"Mer,I still can't believe you slept with him. And I really don't need that image in my head." Alex complained as he closed his eyes. I just kept laughing. His face was so priceless to look at.
"Alex come down. I was joking." I stated as I laughed even harder. Alex started laughing along with me.
"Mer would you like to get some drinks at the bar?" He questioned as he linked my arm with his. I could really use some tequila.
"Ooh, Alex tequila." I exclaimed as my jam came through the speakers. Alex rolled his eyes back in his head.
"Oh Mer don't you ever get tired of tequila!" Alex sighs dramatically as he and I walk to the bar.
"No alex never! It's like my savior!" I giggled as we get to the bar. The bartender I instantly recognized. Oh my god it's Joe.
"Joe!" I exclaimed as I let go of Alex's arm and ran up to Joe.
"Mer, it's good to see you. It's been a long time." Joe said as he hugs me back. I was so happy to see him again. It had been years since him and his boyfriend moved away.
"Joe how have you been?" I asked as I swallowed the shot of tequila. The liquid burned down my throat.
"I have been good. Is the other twisted sister around?" Joe asked as he poured me another shot. I took the second shot and the burn got less and less. I could hear the loud cheers.
"Joe!!" Cris exclaimed as she drunkly stumbled her way over to the bar. Alex just stared at us like we were crazy.
After the party was over. I was now sober but my head was killing me. I shouldn't of had that many tequila shots. I passed my way down the O.R. I looked over at the observation of the O.R. My eyes laid on the five people who matter the most. Lexie was first standing next to Mark. Lexie has this proud smile. I still wished they were actually there. I knew I wasn't drunk or high. But it made me seem crazy. I blinked my eyes closed and then open again. I saw the same thing. Derek was in the middle smiling so cheesy. I always loved his smile and laugh. George was next. I never seen so happy in his life. And the one that most surprised me. My mother was standing there clapping her hands. I felt the tears streaming down face. I never felt so accomplished in my life. I finally felt satisfied in my life. I look down at the ground and then back up. This time there was no one up there.
"Mer ready to go?" Alex asked as he carried sleepy Jasmine in his arms.
I take his free hand and clasped our hands together. As we walked out of the doors of Grey Sloan. I thought about the days and weeks I spent at this hospital. I did my internship, Residency and attending all at this hospital. The hospital had had many names over the years. Seattle Grace Hospital, Seattle Mercy West and Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. But all those names are just names. I knew this hospital as my life. When we got into the car and drove away. "Some journeys are with the complications of falling." This is my story and I hope you love it ~ Meredith Marie Grey-Karev.
