Disclaimer-"I don't own Grey's"

Seattle Grace Hospital

As Meredith Grey entered Seattle Grace hospital she had the feeling she always had when she was new somewhere and she had to prove herself to the people who thought she didn't deserved the name, fame and fortune she had earned but she showed people every time that she deserved it and it had nothing to do with her mother. She remembered her first day as intern when people were judging her for being a 23 year old intern who had a 2 month old child whose mother was Ellis Grey and who according to everyone didn't deserve to be in the No.1 surgical residency program in the country despite not only finishing top of her class at Dartmouth plus finishing here undergrad and medical school in 6 years.

FLASHBACK

10 YEARS AGO

BOSTON, MASSACHUESETS

Meredith thought she was screwed as she followed the group of interns along with her best friend Amelia Shepherd who was one of the only people in the world she could trust in the world along with Carter despite what her brother did to her she trusted Amelia.

She thought how could her life have taken a turn for the worse when she thought she had everything in her life just 11 months ago before she found that plus sign in that pregnancy test that resulted in finding the cheating bastard the man she thought of as the love of her life was the excuse he gave hurt her more than his betrayal which resulted in her making sure that he played no part in her son's life because she didn't want her son to experience what she experienced with her parents especially her father because she promised herself that she would never be like her mother.

Now 11 months later to say that Jeffrey William Grey was her life was an understatement as her heart was beating for him and him only she was alive because she had to live for him and she thought of not joining the world of surgery for him but Carter's word resulted in her being here.

Suddenly Amelia said "Mer don't be nervous remember what Carter said."

Meredith did remember Carter's words "You can't give up your dreams because you need to be strong and achieve your dreams for your son so that when he grows up he will be proud of his Momma and know that when the world tries to crush him and his dreams, he had to fight for himself and his dreams just like his Momma and prove people like Ellis Grey or Derek Shepherd when he meet them that he will fight to earn his place in the world like his mother and prove them wrong for leaving him."

Although those words inspired her to beat the world she wished with all her heart that her son never meets people like Ellis Grey and Derek Shepherd and doesn't get crushed like she was.

After that her day didn't get much better as the whole hospital was judging her as the intern who had a kid which was worse than a pregnant intern her only bright spot in her life was that at the end of her shift she will return to her son.

She ignored the whispering around her as she sat with her group of interns who were discussing her before judging by the silence that followed after she sat down.

"Hey Mer how was your day?" Amelia asked her.

Before she could reply she saw the general surgery attending who according to her was a male chauvinist who by the looks he was giving her didn't like her for some reason probably for being a woman or a mother she didn't know but she hated him for it.

He said after reaching the table-"Good afternoon, interns.

It's posted, but l thought l'd share the good news personally.

As you know, the honor of performing the first surgery is reserved for the intern that shows the most promise. As l'm running the OR today, l get to make that choice."After a silence he said-"Meredith Grey. You'll scrub in for an appendectomy this afternoon.

Congratulations."

I was shocked that he said me but then I remembered how my mother used to find the weakest link in the intern group each year and picked them for the intern appy and made an example out of them but then I steeled myself as I decided I won't be made an example of I would show that pig what I am made of for my son.

Amelia said some encouraging words as I made my way towards the scrub room. As she scrubbed in she decided whatever happens she will prove everyone that she is Meredith Grey and she is not to be messed with or to be think of as a pushover.

As she entered the OR she saw the gallery was full of interns and a few attending s plus a black woman in a suit who gave out a confident and authoritative vibe that she was sure of her place in the world and that she wouldn't let anyone question her. She looked familiar to her form somewhere Meredith didn't know form where.

Suddenly she heard what the interns were saying.

On said- She's gonna faint. A fainter.

Another said-She's about the flop sweat. She's gonna sweat herself unsterile.

Then another-Ten bucks, she messes up the McBurney.

A muscular looking blond guy said- Fifteen, she cries, she is a baby. She is hardly did she even get her?

A blonde said- l'll put 20 on a total meltdown. Isn't she the one with a baby? "

As she got angry at what they were saying.

She heard Amelia says with confidence-Hundred says he pulls the whole thing off. She is Meredith Grey she is the best,you don't know her I do and I know what she is capable of and I also know she is better than the rest of us and stronger than the rest of us. She got here because she was at the top of her class at Dartmouth and she is not a baby she is a genius who is far more intelligent than the rest of you."

As she smiled thankfully at Amelia someone said-It is as if she can hear us.

Then the authoritative looking woman said with a chuckle-"Yes she can because that red light there means that the intercom is on."

That shut the whole gallery up.

As entered the OR he said with a smirk he said-"Show what you got Grey."

She decided that she will wipe that smirk off his face.

She said-Scalpel.
As the operation continued she asked for different instruments- Pickups.

- Clamp.

Appendix is out.

Taylor said sounding sad- Not bad.

Meredith replied- Thank you.

Taylor said-Now all you have to do is invert the stump into the cecum and simultaneously pull up on the purse strings, but be careful not to break them.

She did not break them and was doing everything flawlessly until suddenly.

Beeping

A nurse said-She's tachycardic.

shouted at Meredith-What did you do?

Meredith replied-Nothing I am nearly finished and nothing's wrong here.

Taylor said-"Let me see looks like you can't even see your own mistake.

Meredith replied frustrated-I did not make a mistake everything is fine here something else is wrong.

Taylor said-"I will see about that."

Anesthesiologist - I don't understand what happened. Everything appears to be in order.

Taylor- There's no bleeders. I don't see any bleeders. OK, I don't see a reason why down here. So why is her heart rate going through the roof. Everything is intact! What? Is? Wait, wait, wait. Did I just feel movement?

Meredith saw something she couldn't believe- She's awake. Dr. Taylor, the patient's awake.

Taylor shouted at the Anesthesiologist-What the hell did you do? What the hell did you do?!Get her back to sleep right now!

Meredith said to the patient in a calm soothing voice-"OK, I know you're scared right now, but it's gonna be OK. Everything is going to be OK. Just try to breathe."

Anesthesiologist- "Pushing 150 propofol."

After the operation Taylor rushed out saying you did ok like someone had slapped him.

Meredith felt elated even after the scare because she had just completed her first surgery on her own with a once in a lifetime experience that shook her but proved to her she was cut out for this job despite what her mother said. She was experiencing a high from the surgery that made her wonder why would someone do drugs.

"You did quite well in there." a woman's voice came from behind her. She turned around to see the woman from the gallery standing on the door of the scrub room. She continued-"You performed the surgery with confidence and calm like a surgeon that had years of experience. You did not lose your calm when the patient woke up you calmed her down and you were in control despite the situation which the most hardcore surgeons don't experience but when they experience they are not as calm as you DR….

I replied- Grey. Dr. Meredith Grey.

"Grey as In "

"Yes she is my mother."

"That explains it you were born to be here in this OR Dr. Grey."

"She doesn't think so she said I don't have what it takes."

"Well let me tell you something even the great Ellis Grey can be wrong and she is wrong about you because if you don't have what it takes then no one else in this world has it. You have it all you have talent, confidence, concentration, sharp mind, calm and especially you care for your patient. I believe a star was born in that OR today Meredith Grey and I can tell you in few years you will storm the world of surgery and the world will remember you for it especially sexist like Taylor that a woman is not a pushover."

"Thank you ma'am but have I seen you before you look familiar. Who are you?"

"Maybe dear I am Dr. Catherine Avery."

" it's an honor to meet you and thank you for your kind words."

"You are welcome dear and I will look forward to see your career fold out."

"Thank you once again ."

END OF FLASHBACK

She walked towards the surgical floor nurses station with Jeffrey walking beside her and Logan in her hands as she remembered each and every part of the hospital where she was born and where she spent most of her early childhood.

As she was near the nurses' station she heard her husband's name so she stopped to hear a red haired nurse, a brunette nurse and a blonde nurse gossip.

The red head was saying "I heard his wife cheated on him like Montgomery and Shepherd that's why he transferred from Boston with their daughter."Meredith cursed the nurses and their gossip mill as they blemished her marriage and compared her marriage to that bastard and that bitch.

The brunette said "What I heard he cheated on her with female Shepherd and she threw him out."She was fuming with anger after that.

The blond said-"Olivia, Rose I don't know where you heard all that. I heard him saying to Dr. Robbins that his wife was coming in a few days as they both have transferred here and that he loves her a lot and want the straight female population of this hospital to leave him alone."

The red head said-"I don't believe you."

Meredith decided now was the time to announce herself inwardly smiling at how her husband was now comfortable enough to publicly announce his love for her which earlier made him uncomfortable and how she was going to shatter the dreams of the female population of this hospital-"Excuse me can you page Dr. Alex Karev for me."

The blond replied-"Sure ma'am."

The red head asked a little disrespectfully-"And you are?"

Meredith gave her sweetest smile and said with a little bit humor in her voice-"I am his wife."

The shocked face of all three of the nurses was something that she will never forget and she had to put a lot of effort so she did not burst out laughing.

Suddenly she heard the voice of her little girl "Mommy, Jeff, Logan."

Meredith turned around to bend down and give her angel a hug as she barreled towards them.

"Mommy I missed you." she said pouting.

"Mommy missed you too baby."

She turned around to see Jeff giving hug to his father and Logan trying to get way from her towards his father and brother.

"How my little man."Alex said to Logan.

"He is good now does the mother of your children not get a greeting."Meredith asked Alex amusedly.

"Well the mother of my children gets the best greeting."Alex said as he handed Logan to Carter and pulled Meredith in a deep kiss. Though she hated PDAs she didn't protest then because at that moment she was the happiest woman in the world as she had her adoringly beautiful children and her handsome husband who loved her unconditionally around her.

The sound of "Ewww"s" coming from the said children interrupted her kiss with her husband.

"I missed you."He said.

"I missed you too." She replied.

"Let's go to my office before you meet the chief after that I will take the kids to the cafeteria and we will meet together at the presentation."Alex said.

"Okay let's go."She said while picking up Ashley as Alex picked up Logan and Jeff went with them as Alex lead them towards his office she looked around to see that every hospital employee was staring at their perfect family especially the look on the face of female staff was priceless. The looks of jealousy she got was nothing new for her also the looks of jealousy Alex got from every male was also not something new.

A/N-The complete Grey-Karev family has finally reached Seattle Grace what will unfold now let's see.

Lots of adventures filled with confrontations, truths and secrets to follow.

Sorry Mer's arrival was not the focal point of this chapter I felt the need to give a background of the prejudice Mer faces and how she boosted her confidence after what happened with Derek.

My longest chapter till now nearly 2500 words. Yay.

Thanks for all the reviews everyone.

mandy67-I don't know I have half a mind on Derek knowing and half on him not knowing but let's see I think it will be a spur of the moment decision.

jnri11300-I haven't decided on any other pairing but most probably make Omelia but not sure and I have started making Arizona involved as one of the only friends Alex has made in Seattle. Thank you for the suggestion.

Fanfic Addict-The fireworks will be there of a grand scale some were in this chapter more to follow. Carter is my creation as I felt the need for someone who was there for Meredith as no one should be as alone as Meredith. The reaction of Derek and Addison will be something special. Glad someone agrees that Derek was easily forgiven for everything he did while he blamed and made Mer pay for everything wrong in their life without understanding Mer.

Hitam1-I agree Derek always gets away with looking sad every time he made a mistake and was forgiven easily whether it was the drowning, the shooting, the Shepherd method, Zola and the trial fiasco even DC he got away with everything easily but Meredith paid for all of them. And I made Mer a hotshot surgeon because most Fanfic don't and I felt it was needed. Alex and Mer need a great life.

Lems123-Things will evolve quickly now that Mer is in Seattle.
