A/N!!!IMPORTANT! I decided to let Sara stay only one night. I'm very sorry… I already changed the last chapter! Please don't hate me now. !IMPORTANT!
Chapter 6: Heroes are Hard to Find.
VO: As human beings it's nature, second guessing yourself. But as doctors, second guessing yourself isn't an option. Because if you're not sure about yourself it means people could die.
Meredith walks into the house holding Sara's hand. Izzie George and Christina behind them.
"Wow, you have a very big house, it's like a castle! Sara said excited looking around the room.
"Okay, then I'm the queen and you're the princess" Meredith said laughing at the little girls excitement.
Izzie walked into the kitchen.
"Sara, what would you like to do" She yelled to the girl.
"I don't know"
"Come over here."
Sara let go of Meredith's hand and walked into the kitchen.
"How would you like a… chocolate cupcake" Izzie gave Sara one of her famous cupcakes.
"Jummie" She said down on one of the chairs
Meredith walked in the kitchen.
"I thought, maybe we can go shopping" Meredith suggested.
"Yeah, that would be nice, I guess." Izzie said distracted by how Sara ate her chocolate cupcake.
"Sara, you eat it like you're a dog" Meredith said laughing whipping the chocolate of the little girls face.
"But it's so jummie" She said smiling.
"Tomorrow you can have another one. First, we're going shopping"
"Yeah" Sara Screamed she ran to the door. "Can we go now?" She used her puppy-dog eyes.
"I guess we can" She got pulled Izzie with her. "But only for 3 hours, the stores are almost closing"
"But I wanna finish my cupcake" Izzie complained.
"Well, you can do that tonight"
"Seriously Mere, I don't like the mother you."
"Well, It's only for one night" Meredith hissed to Izzie.
After 2 hours intense shopping and eating at McDonalds, Izzie let herself fall on the couch.
"I'm exhausted" She said turning the TV on.
Meredith walked over to the couch with Sara on her hips.
"Oeh, Gilmore Girls" Meredith said releasing Sara from her grip so she could play with the doll she jut bought.
"I've missed last week episode" Izzie said. "And the one before that, and the one before that" She sighed. "All the sacrifices for being a doctor"
"I know" Meredith said clearly not paying attention.
After watching The Gilmore Girls Meredith realised it was long past bedtime for Sara She stood up and turned around to find only Sara's doll lying on the floor.
"Sara?" She walked to the kitchen and saw her sitting on the table with… Derek.
"Oh, hi Meredith. I came to see how you were, but I couldn't get you to paying attention so I thought I might wait" He turned to Sara. "Then I met Sara. Did you decided to take her in house?"
"No, she's only staying over for a night"
Sara looked confused and tired.
"Are you tired honey?" Meredith asked walking to Sara
"Yeah, but I don't want to sleep then I need to go back to the hospital tomorrow"
"But you need to sleep Sara, let's get you in bed" Derek said picking the little girl up.
"Okay" She yawned.
Derek looked at Meredith he clearly had no idea were to put her asleep.
"She will sleep in my The guest room " Meredith said understanding what he meant. "She has to change first, though"
Meredith picked up Sara's bag and followed Derek upstairs. Izzie stared after them.
"They are like the perfect family" She said to herself. "It's disgusting"
Meredith had changed Sara into her Pyjama's. Derek put her in bed.
"Goodnight, Sara" Meredith said as they walked out of the room.
"I want a kiss goodnight" Sara said.
"Okay" Derek walked to her and gave a kiss. Meredith followed.
"Goodnight" Sara said.
They walked out of the room.
"Well, I better take of, now. I actually came here to check on you." Derek said while they wre walking downstairs.
"I don't need to be checked on" They were already downstairs.
"You sure?" he stood suddenly very close.
"I'm sure" she turned.
"What's wrong Meredith? When we were in New Jersey you seemed open to start over again. But now you're so… I don't know. Are you avoiding me?"
It was quiet.
"Meredith" He started to raise his voice. "I just want to know… Because" he paused "I, I love you"
Meredith stayed quiet but she realised she really needed to say something" Okay, it's true. I've been avoiding you but only because I realised it was going to fast I mean you did hurt me… you know."
"I know Meredith, and I can promise I won't hurt you ever again. If we can just try… please. I just, I love you so much. I never loved Addison this way"
Meredith sighed with that name. "I don't know Derek, I do love you, a lot. But I just need some time okay. Just take it slow, really slow"
"I can do that, Mere."
"Okay. You can sleep here. On the couch"
"Okay, Goodnight"
"Goodnight" she kissed his cheek and walked upstairs.
The next morning when she came down she saw no Derek lying on the couch. She did see a note. She walked over there and picked it up
Dear Meredith,
I'm sorry, I had to leave, I got called in for an early surgery. I'll see you in the hospital
Love you
Derek
"Ah, how cute" she said to herself. She was pulled away from her little Dream world when she heard crying upstairs. It came from the guest room she walked upstairs. She saw Sara sitting in bed, crying.
"Ow, what's wrong, Sara?" She walked to the little girl. She whipped her tears away and sat down on her bed. "You can tell me."
"I don't, I don't want to leave."
"Oh, I know but I will visit you a lot and maybe next week we can have another sleep over" She hugged Sara. "Is that okay"
"Yes" She tried to stop crying. "Thank you"
"Oh, it's okay" She released the girl. "Now, let's go get some breakfast"
"Yeah!"
She watched as Sara ate her cupcakes.
"What do you want to do today?" Meredith asked "I've still got the whole day off"
"I don't know" Sara said deep in her thought.
"Well, think of something you haven't done in a long time"
"I want to go swimming" She said after thinking several minutes.
"Okay, I haven't done that in a long time too. I can ask Izzie if she wants to come too, do you want that?"
"Yeah that's fun, everybody can come"
"Okay I can see what I can do, maybe they have to work."
After Sara got showered, Meredith already called everyone.
"Okay Sara, Izzie, Alex and George can't come they have to work and Christina has a date with Burke."
"Ah to bad, What about Derek from last night?"
"Do you want him to come?"
"Yes"
"Okay, I will call him."
"Can I watch cartoons while you're calling?"
"Of course"
Meredith went upstairs to get her cell phone she couldn't find it until she heard it ringing. It was a familiar number.
"Hello"
"Meredith, it's me"
"Hey"
"I'm in my plane to Seattle"
"What? You are?"
"Yeah, I couldn't handle it anymore I really need you"
"Oh"
"I already got a transfer to Seattle Grace but I don't have a place to stay"
"You can stay in my house"
"Okay, I will be there tonight"
"Okay, see you"
"Bye Meredith"
"Bye Emily"
Meredith hung up the phone. She just stared into nowhere for a couple of minutes. "Oh my god my sister is coming to Seattle" was all she could think with herself. She heard Sara laughing downstairs and she pulled back into reality. She dialled Derek's number.
"Hello"
"Hey Meredith, I just got out of surgery I have the rest of the day of do you want to do something."
"Oh, that's kind of why I called you I wanted to ask if you wanted to go swimming with me, Sara and the rest."
"Well that would be fun"
"Yeah, it's kind of for Sara because she was so sad for having to leave again."
"Poor kid"
"yeah, well if I will just see you at the swimming pool near the hospital in about half an hour?"
"Okay, that's okay"
"Okay, see you then bye"
"Bye Meredith"
When after about half an hour they were in the swimming pool, Sara tried to get Meredith in the water.
"But it's so cold" She laughed.
"Come on we can go together" Sara said still trying to push her.
They didn't notice Derek stood behind them and he pushed them in the water. Meredith pulled him with her.
"This isn't so cold" Sara said while swimming with her water ring.
"I disagree" Meredith said, she was getting water all over her from Derek. "Okay, that's enough" She said laughing. She pulled him with her underwater to the other side of the pool.
"You can swim under water for a very long time" He said when they came up. They where very close.
"I know" She said while getting even closer to him.
He started to kiss her, very passionate. When they stopped Meredith felt like ahe had to say something.
"Emily is coming to town."
"Seriously?" He whispered
"Yeah, she said she needed me"
"Oh, well I need you" He kissed her again.
"I need you to" She said when he stopped kissing.
"I love you Meredith"
VO: Second guessing, sometimes it just doesn't come in handy, and you just have to do something.
"I love you too Derek"
