Seattle, Washington

"Karma is a bitch which demands a bitter payback." Was Derek's thought as he was lost in his past and compared it to his present.

FLASHBACK

11 YEARS AGO

HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Derek entered the apartment he shared with his girlfriend throughout med school before he joined New York's Mt. Sinai hospital for his internship 3 months ago. This was his 3rd visit since then, his last visit was 3 weeks ago and the last 3 months have been the hardest in his life because one thing he understood was that he couldn't live without her as she was the one. The one he would spend the rest of his life with her.

Suddenly he heard the sound that broke his heart the sound of her crying. He started walking towards their room when he heard an unknown man's voice which stopped him in his tracks.

"Mer please stop crying it is not your fault that this happened, tell him."The voice was soothing.

"No it is my fault it shouldn't have happened; he will leave me for what I did."She replied in a broken voice.

"You know you didn't do anything, it is no one's fault. You both were separated for a long time, it happened in the heat of the moment."

"No but I shouldn't have done what I did."

"You didn't do anything it just happened."

"He will think I am a terrible person I shouldn't have done what I did."

"Mer stop it, it is not your fault. Do you know before all this I would have suggested solution to all your problems would be to go to the bar order Tequila, get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men."

"I can't do any of those because of what I already did; I can't do that to Derek."

"Dr. Richard Webber speaking."Richard spoke after picking up the phone.

"Richard its Meredith I accept your offer." Meredith replied from the other end.

"Thank you when can you join?"Richard sighed with relief after receiving a final confirmation from her even though Amelia had all but confirmed it he still wanted to hear it from her.

"I will be there next Monday."Meredith replied.

"Well after and signed their contracts today, I knew you were coming. "Said Richard.

"I told you they will be able to get the job without my recommendation."Meredith replied proudly.

"By the way I had an interesting conversation with the chief of surgery at Mass Gen he was quite mad at me for stealing his best surgeons especially you as he mentioned a diabetes trial and some groundbreaking surgery."Richard asked in a voice filled with curiosity as he was confused since his conversation with .

"Well that reminds me a few of my trial and surgery patients will be transferring in a few days, can you see to it that they have no problem."Meredith said without giving away any details.

"Definitely they will have no problem I will make sure of it. So what is the trial and surgery all about?"Richard replied.

"Well you will see when I get there."Meredith replied with an air of mystery.

"Are they for your next Harper Avery?"Richard asked since his only Harper Avery doctor had left the hospital after leaving his fiancé an intern at the altar.

"Let's see how it goes."

"Yeah so when you come here do I get to meet your husband?"Richard asked the question that has been on his mind since she mentioned she was married.

"I think you have already met him."She replied in a voice filled with mischief which reminded him of her as a child.

"Who are you talking about?"Richard asked surprised.

"Dr. Alex Karev."Meredith replied laughing.

"Alex Karev."Richard was more than surprised.

"Yes him."

"You never told me about this sister and goddaughter and everyone else." Lexie asked storming into the on call room Jackson was resting in.

"Lexie calm down what's the fuss all about you never asked much about my family so I didn't."Jackson asked confused.

"The fuss is all about that they are all here and I don't even know about them and they will be judging me, even you think your sister will make me run away and you didn't tell me that your brother in law is Alex Karev and you know Amelia Shepherd."Lexie replied fuming with anger.

"Well it is tough enough already that people know about me being an Avery and don't worry about my sister she is great Alex and I were just doing."Jackson relied in a serious tone

"I am not people Jackson I am your girlfriend, I need to know these things. I am also angry because now I have to work with two of your family or whatever they are as my bosses. What does your sister do is she a doctor to will she be my boss also if she is she will be judging me as a surgeon plus as your girlfriend plus as a person. She will see how I act towards her children. I don't even know how many kids she has. Next thing I know your mother will be here to at least when your grandfather was here we weren't dating. "

"Lexie you are rambling you don't have to be afraid or nervous about anything. My sister is a great person she doesn't judge people like that. You have a lot in common with her. She has three kids and yes she is surgeon and yes she will be your boss but you don't have to worry about it all."Jackson replied while making a move to hold her to calm her down.

"Well what's her name have I heard of her?"Lexie replied calming a little on his contact.

"Well I can't tell you her name as it s supposed to be a big secret and yes you have definitely heard of her. Every surgeon has heard of her, she is a legend no not even a legend she is a surgery goddess. "

"You don't trust me with the secret."Lexie asked.

When Jackson looked at her pointedly, she replied-"Yeah I get it I can't keep a secret. But… "

The beeping sound of her pager stopped her midsentence.

"911 I have to go but this conversation is not over." she said while rushing out of the room.

"Okay."

ELSEWHERE IN THE HOSPITAL

Addison Montgomery was reflecting over her life like how she had become a happily married, successful doctor to this broken woman who was pining after her ex-husband who didn't want anything to do with her and the man whom she had cheated with on her husband who now hated her.

As she remembered the last 11 years of her life the only reason for her current condition of her life was that woman whom her husband never stopped loving even after she left him but the truth be told she was just blaming her because it was hard to accept that she fell in love with the man who loved someone else.

Maybe she would have perfect life if she hadn't gone to that bar on that life and sat beside that broken man.

She remembered how she had hit rock bottom when she had just tried to kiss her attractive new colleague after a successful operation who turned her down and when she asked that wasn't she attractive enough for him, he replied he was happily married with three kids she was so embarrassed that it resulted in her sitting in her office and reflecting on her life.
