Chapter 5: Although The Sun Is Shining

VO: Changes, you life can change really fast. But also really slow. It can be by surprise or you can see it coming. I, personally don't like surprises. To bad I never see it coming…

"Derek, come on!"

"Yeah, I can't walk that fast… With all your bags."

Meredith and Derek were walking through the airport. They were kind of late.

"I'm sorry I really had to go shopping with Emily this morning. I hadn't shopped in like ages."

"Yeah, but now we are going to be late or our airplane."

"No we're not. Just walk."

They entered the waiting room at their gate. They sat down.

"Clearly not late" Meredith said surprised.

"Passengers for the flight to Seattle, Washington. We have some delay of a few minutes." They heard an announcer say.

"Oh, they could have said that before we started running." Derek said really tired of running after Meredith.

"Well, I can call Emily for one last time."

She got her cell phone and dialled Emily's number."

"Em? It's me Meredith."

"Hey, shouldn't you be in your airplane, right now?"

"Yeah, we have some delay. I thought I could call you. And ask how you are"

"Oh, I'm bored I deliver lab-reports. I don't have any surgeries"

"Ahh, I feel sorry for you."

"What?" Derek asked curious.

"She doesn't has any surgeries today."

"Who was that?"

"Oh , that was Derek, he came with me."

"You brought your boyfriend and you didn't introduce him"

"He's not exactly…"

"The passengers for the flight to Seattle, Washington can enter the airplane now." The announcer said.

"Oh, I have to go Em. I'll call you when I land. Good luck with the lab reports."

"Okay, Have a good flight."

"Bye"

"Bye"

She hung up the phone, got Derek's hand and got into the airplane…

The flight back to Seattle was long and Meredith was pretty tired when she came out of the airplane.

"When I come home I'm going to sleep"

"Me too"

They walked out of the airport.

"This one is yours and this one" Derek gave all Meredith's bags as they walked to their own cars.

"Thanks Derek, for everything, I mean coming with me and all."

"Of course, Mere. I'll see you at the hospital tomorrow?"

"Yes" She gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. " See ya."

They got inside their cars and drove back to their homes.

As Meredith came home she noticed the loud music. She walked in and saw Izzie dancing on the couch with her toothbrush. She just stood there watching Izzie. When Izzie noticed Meredith stood there she quickly got of the couch and took her toothbrush out of her mouth.

"Oh, hi Mere."

"Heey" she still stood there thinking about what she just experienced.

"How did it go" Izzie tuned the music of.

Meredith sighed and let herself fall on the couch. She started staring into nowhere. Izzie sat down next to her and felt concerned about her friend, she already went through so much.

"Well?" Izzie asked looking at Meredith.

Meredith turned her head to Izzie. "It went great, My sister is really nice. We even had dinner. Derek and I are sort of together but not really because I need to have him suffer first."

She stood up again and picked up her bags. "Oh and I went shopping brought everyone some presents."

"That's… great Mere. I'm really happy for you." She helped Meredith with the bags and they walked upstairs.

When they walked into Meredith's room, Meredith noticed something was different. She turned to Izzie with her arms crossed.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I couldn't just leave it like that it was like a disaster area. It was staring at me. I told you I was an obsessive cleaner."

"Okay, Iz it's alright."

"Good, cause I was planning on cleaning a lot more in this dusty house."

"Oh, I'm so tired." Meredith collapsed on her bed. "I'll unpack tomorrow."

"Are you going to the hospital tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm going"

"Okay, I'm making breakfast"

"Okay" she muttered, almost asleep.

"Okay" Izzie walked out of the room.

The next morning Meredith woke up from the smell of Izzie's pancakes. She walked downstairs.

"Oh, hi Mere. Izzie watched Meredith walking into the kitchen. "Here try" She handed her a pancake. "They're really good"

"Thanks Iz" Meredith said still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

She ate a few pancakes while discussing Izzie last day at work. After that she made herself ready to go to the hospital. Izzie didn't had to be in till noon and Meredith was late. When she arrived Bailey was already there. She changed into her scrubs really fast and ran to catch up with Bailey and the other interns.

"Grey, you're late"

"I'm sorry Dr Bailey"

"Okay, I don't need any suck ups. Karev you're with the new gynaecologist on Dr Montgomery's orders. O'Malley you're with Shepard. Christina you're with me and Grey you're in the pit"

All the interns started complaining.

"What did I say? Go, go!"

Meredith went to the pit. There was nothing special, she did a few sutures. She was just suturing a bud, he sat down on a beer glass, when a ambulance was coming in. It was a girl, 4 years old she was an orphan they just discovered she has very bad asthma and she was having an attack.

Meredith gave her oxygen (A/N Sorry, my medical knowledge sucks.) She could breathe again and they got her a room. Meredith monitored her the girl talked a lot.

"Hey, I'm Sara I'm four years old. What's your name?"

"I'm Dr Grey, but you can call me Meredith"

"You can't be a Doctor you're so young"

"Well, I am."

"Okay. I'm an orphan my mommy died when I was born and I don't have a daddy"

"Oh, I'm sorry" Meredith noticed how old she spoke.

"I never knew them. Because I have asthma I have to go out of the orphanage and to a foster family. They would pick me up after 2 days ago. But I'll only stay for 1 month then I'm going to my real foster parents."

"Wow, are you excited?"

"No I don't want to go I want to stay with my friends"

"Oh, but it will be fun with your foster parents. You'll have them all for yourself."

"Yeah"

"Okay, Sara I'll have to go now I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Okay, bye Meredith"

When she walked out she walked into a nurse who just wanted to go in the room of sara.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

"I was just going to check on Sara" The nurse said.

"Did you know she is an orphan?"

"Yes, her foster would pick her up 2 days ago. But they didn't showed now she needs to spend 1 month in the hospital."

"Oh, poor kid"

"Yeah, they are going to transfer her to the children's floor."

"Oh, still sad she has to spend so long in the hospital"

"Yes"

"I'll have to go, bye"

"Bye"

Meredith walked to the cafeteria for lunch she saw Izzie and Christina sitting there.

"Hi"

"Hey, Mere"

"Any interesting cases today?" Christina asked sarcastic, she knew Meredith had to spend the day in the pit

"actually I do, I had a girl with asthma…"

"Oeh, asthma" Christina said.

"Let me finish. She is an orphan she was supposed to stay in a foster family for 1 month because of her very bad asthma, but they didn't showed. Now she has to spend 3 months in the hospital"

"Ah, poor kid." Izzie said she listened to Meredith's story carefully.

"Yeah how sad, I'll have to leave now." Christina got up.

"Yeah, I got to go to" Izzie left too.

Meredith just sat there alone thinking about the poor little girl. She got up she needed a surgery and she needed it now. As she looked for Bailey she walked into Derek.

"Hey, Mere" He kissed her cheek carefully.

"Hey" She said quietly

"What's wrong" He asked concerned.

"Oh it's nothing don't worry

He dragged her into an on call room.

"No seriously, tell me."

Meredith told him the story about Sara. He listened just as carefully as Izzie did.

"Well, it's just a suggestion, why don't you take her for 1 month. It's with Izzie and George they can help you I can help you."

Three days went by. Meredith visited Sara a lot. She called with her sister once, she really missed her. But she was so busy thinking about what Derek's 'suggestion' she didn't thought about it a lot.

Meredith didn't have to be in the hospital till noon today but she decided to go and check on Sara.

"Hey, Sara"

"Hey Mere"

"Did you sleep well" She sat down on the corner of her bed.

"No, I had a nightmare. I hate hospitals I always get nightmares"

"Oh" she whipped a tear of her face.

"Can I go home with you Meredith? Just for one night?"

Meredith hesitated, but it was only one night. Why the hell not, if it made the girl happy. "I can ask my boss"

"Yeah" Sara said excited. She started jumping up and down on her bed.

"But I don't know if he will let me…"

After she talked to Izzie and George about it and asked for their help Meredith went to the chief. She told him Sara's story and what she asked her. It wasn't easy to convince him. She told him Izzie and George would help her and he finally agreed with it. "But only for one day" He said.

Meredith walked to her locker room it was 4 pm. She changed and was ready to tell Sara the good news.

Sara was very excited she packed in her little sports bag with her toys and clothes, Meredith helped her. She picked up the bag and got Sara's hand.

"Let's go home now"

They walked to the parking lot together when Izzie, George and Christina catched up with her.

"Sara, this is George, this is Christina and this is Izzie. Izzie and George live in my house too" Meredith said

Sara said hello to everyone. They got into Meredith's car together ad drove back to their house…
