Last time:

"This woman" she thought "is about to get her heart broken …again"


"Oh snap out of it Izzie. She cheated on him she's Satan. He said so himself! And plus Meredith is your friend and she's been miserable. What's so special about Dr.Sheppard anyways…maybe I should find out for myself. Oh shut up Izzie you're going crazy!" Izzie was deep in her thoughts she didn't even notice her patient tugging at her scrubs asking if she was alright.

"Hello… deary are you alright?" Her patient asked her.

"Oh yes sorry. Must have slipped into a day dream." Izzie said with a smile. The woman nodded at her and raised her eyebrows.

"Great" Izzie thought my patient thinks I'm nuts!"


Meredith sat down to lunch with Izzie, Cristina, George and Alex nervously waiting to see Derek. She was ripping up her napkin when a folder dropped on her lap. Inside a note read.

Calm down Meredith!

It's going to be ok.

Stop playing with you napkin incase you haven't noticed your getting funny looks!

Love ya Derek

Meredith immediately placed her napkin down on the table and looked around to see her friends giving her worried looks.

"What?" she asked them. They throw back there hands and shook their heads at her. Before she could stop her Cristina snatched up the note and began reading it out loud. Meredith didn't even care and let her friend read it but became annoyed when she said…

"Love…ya…Derek. Ohhh how sweet."

"I hate you." was all Meredith could manage.


Addison got her lunch and went to find a table, she made sure it was in view of where Meredith was sitting so she could give her smug looks when Derek wasn't looking. She saw all the interns playing around with something that was previously being held by Meredith. She shrugged like she cared. She smiled when Derek approached her but it soon faded when she saw how serious he was looking.

"What's wrong darling?" she said trying to sound as caring as possible.

"Addison I have to say this so I'm going to say it in the way I think is best. Which normally isn't the best way."

"What is it Derek?"

"I made a mistake. I want you to sign the papers." He said bluntly. Addison was in shock but she soon regained her coolness.

"Ok. I'll sign if you sign." She had a smug smile on her face. This all ways worked.

Derek reached into his briefcase and dropped the papers on the table. "I already have." Addison's eyes met his then wondered out of the window they met Izzie's eyes who looked deeply sorry for her. She then darted her eyes to Grey. There eyes only met for a brief second as Grey looked away as soon as she relised she was looking at her. Addison took a deep breath and grabbed the pen out of her lab coat pocket. She daintily signed her name then looked up at Derek.

"I'm not leaving Seattle. Richard has offered me a job here and I'm working with Stevens, she has a lot of promise in my field."

Derek nodded "Ok but leave Meredith and I alone." He gathered up the papers and put them back in his briefcase. He gave her a smile before getting up and walking away. Walking out of her life is how she felt. Now she had to face the "I'm so sorry" of some of the staff, but not many.


Meredith was the only one in the locker room as the rest of the interns had left or where still working. She was packing away her scrubs when someone entered the room. Thinking it was another intern she didn't look up. She felt two hands find there place on her hips and she knew exactly who it was. She shook her head and turned around to face Derek. Who wrapped his arms around her.

"Now what would you do if someone walked in?" she asked him.

"I would scream and hide behind you." He joked "Are we going to be sleeping in your house or my trailer tonight?" he asked.

"Your trailer sounds nice." She snuggled into him.

"Ok then lets go." He took her hand and led her out of the hospital.


In the morning Meredith just woke up while Derek was getting off the phone.

"Who was that?" she asked sleepily.

"My little sister that's who. She says she wants to come visit me during the week. But because I didn't want anyone to know where my little hideout is here I gave her your address. She might be staying at your house to." He said quickly as he went into the bathroom.

"Uh huh and how old might you sister be?"

"24"

"Does she have a name or is she just little sister?"

"Her name is Hailey."

"Right and I'm meant to be expecting her anytime this week am I?"

"Yep!"

"And how do you know I'll let her stay?"

He came out of the bathroom and pulled her into a hug. "Because I love you that's why." Meredith chuckled.

"The things I do for you."

"And why do you do them?"

"Because I love you."

"That's right." He lifted her up onto the bench and kissed her.
