Hello, Merry Christmas! I wanted to write some Christmas stories about Meredith and Derek, so what do you think about that idea? Would you like to read a short Christmas story or stories about MerDer? If yes, I would love to write them :)
"We will take him to CT." Tom Koracick said and gave Meredith papers. She had to sign them or her husband won't get a CT. Meredith fastly signed them and gave back to Tom.
"What intern are you taking?" Amelia asked. She was standing next to Meredith with hands crossed over her chest.
"I was thinking about Edvards, but she at Robbins' service." He said and looked at Derek. He was being wheeled out by nurses. "Then there is Wilson and Deluca."
"Wilson." Meredith said.
"Alright. I heard about your argument with Deluca."
"If we can call it an argument." She rollled her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law. She was feeding Ellis. "We have different opinions about things."
Koracick nodded. "I will take him to the third floor. After that I would like him to have a MRT."
"I will go with you." Amelia announced and turned at Meredith. "Will you be alright?"
"Yes."
"Then we will go." Koracick said and left the room. Amelia followed him.
Meredith turned around and went to Carolyn and Liz. They were sitting on the couch and babysitting Ellis. Nancy had gone to eat lunch and Kath went to explore the hospital.
"How is she?"
"Calm." Carolyn answered and finished feeding her. "Do you want to take her?"
"No, it's alright." Meredith touched her head and adjusted her white cap. "She likes to be in a center of attention."
Liz laughed and Carolyn smiled at her statement. It only showed that she was truly her father's daughters. Derek always wanted to be in a center of attention. He loved when people talked about him, when he was recognized everywhere. Derek and his big ego. These things couldn't be separated.
"Do you have any pictures of the boys?" Liz asked. In the last hour they had talked a lot and Meredith had forgiven her. Her husband's sister was kind and friendly, loves to joke and talks a lot. More than Derek or Amelia.
Meredith took out her phone to look for pictures, but she had a better idea. "What are you saying about meeting them?"
"Are you sure?" Carolyn said and looked at Meredith. "We don't want to – "
"They are your grandchild," She said to Carolyn. "And your nephews. I would like you to meet them." She looked at sleeping Ellis and then at both woman. "I don't have any family members. My mom and sister are dead, my father left when I was five. Derek, Amelia, Alex and kids are my only family."
"Now you have us." Carolyn squeezed her hand smiled. "We will always be with you."
"Thank you." She squeezed Liz's hand. "Both of you."
"You are our family, Meredith." Liz added and stood up. "Can we go now? I want to meet my nephews!"
Meredith and Carolyn laughed. Meredith stood up and took Ellis from her grandmother's arms. They left the room and closed the door behind them. When they were going through hallway they met Nancy and Kathleen. They were talking.
"Kath, Nancy." Liz said and both woman looked at them.
"Were are you going?"
"To meed the boys. Are you coming?" Carolyn asked and then looked at Meredith. "If that is possible."
"It is. I will call Arizona and ask her to bring them to my old office." Meredith took out her phone and started to look for Arizonas phone number when Nancy stopped her.
"Old office?" Nancy asked. Her look made Meredith feel unforcomfortable.
"I've been on maternity leave for months. The office is still mine and no one is using it." Meredith explained and called Arizona.
"Hi, Meredith. How is Ellis?" She could hear her boys in the background. Matt was shouting, Chris was singing and Bailey was asking if she was talking to his mommy.
"Right now she is sleeping, haven't cried for some time now."
"That's good. Me and Alex had a talk about Deluca and Pierce"
Meredith looked confused. "What about them?"
"Mer… we heard something… I don't know if you want to hear it."
"Arizona, tell me it all." Meredith said with stern voice. If something was happening, she needed to know it. Kath seeing Meredith getting uncomfortable took Ellis out of her hands and started to carry her. Meredith smiled and continued to lead them to her office.
"Can we speak about that eye to eye?"
"Of course. Can you meet me in my office in a few minutes? And, please, bring boys with you." Meredith stopped in front of her office and took out a key from her pocket. She unlocked the door and let them inside.
"Meredith, I don't think that boys should hear it."
"They will stay with Derek's family. Don't worry about it." Meredith said and closed the door to her office. She looked around. Nothing had changed. The walls still were light green, the doors of her personal bathroom were open and windows showed a good view of the city. In the middle of room, next to windows were two tables. Her table was against the windows. It was made from a white oak, contained some of her old stuff – pencils, books and two pictures. One was from her wedding. She was standing next to Derek and looking at him, while Derek was saying something to her. Her hands were around his waist and his around hers. They both looked young and in love.
The second picture was with her boys. Bailey was a few days old, laying in her arms, while twins were sitting on the each side of her and watching their little brother. Derek was the one, who took this picture.
The other table was her husbands. It was right in front of hers, the tables were touching. It was made from a dark oak and was empty. On it was only his white coat and his ferryboat scrub cap. Meredith used to wear it after his dead. Sometimes she imaginated his sitting there and smiling at her.
Next to her bathroom were bookshelves full with books, documents and old patient cards, notebooks. There were some of her and Derek's diplomas and awards, which she had left there. She thought that they place were in here.
And the last thing in this room was two white couches. They were against the fourth wall, facing the tables and bathroom door.
Meredith loved this office and that's why she kept it. It meant a lot to her. And she was the only one, who had the key of this office.
"Call me when you are outside, alright?"
"I will. See you in a bit." Arizona said and ended the call.
Meredith put her phone in her pocket and looked about. She saw Liz and Kath standing next to her table and watching pictures. Nancy was standing and looking at Derek's awards and Carolyn was touching Derek's scrub cap. She took a step closer and touched Carolyn's shoulder. Carolyn looked at her daughter-in-law and smiled. Meredith smiled back. This was her family.
