New story, its been a while since i have posted anything, but this little project has over 40 pages banked, so lets see how it goes.

Callie squeezed her fiancés hand as they walked towards the hospital together. Today was going to be their first day at Seattle grace hospital - a hospital in which Meredith was born and her mother was now chief.

There had been a great debate over returning to this hospital. Callie knew that Meredith wasn't too sure that working for her mother was the best decision and Callie had to admit that working for her future mother in law was a very daunting concept. Nonetheless both girls had allowed themselves to be coerced in moving to Seattle from sunny Miami with the promise of ground breaking technological equipment and room for research to complete a few medical trials.

Callie felt Meredith pause in front of the doors, and she stopped beside her, her arm moving to wrap around her fiancé.

"Please tell me that everything's going to go okay." Meredith requested, and Callie felt her sink into her arms. It was very rare for Meredith to speak up about what concerned her, and even more so to display that concern in both actions and words. Callie was used to hacking into her brain these days to solve the problems to help her fiancé,

"It will be okay" Callie reassured her and hoped that she was telling the truth because she really didn't want to move back to Miami.

Callie heard Meredith sigh, and she felt the shorter woman tilt her head before placing a chaste kiss on her jaw.

"How about I promise you that if things turn to shit, we can walk away after a month" Callie bargained knowing that if they lasted a month then they would be likely to stay.

"A month?" She heard Meredith ask and felt her turn in her arms so that they were now face to face.

"Yeah, it's enough time to hunt for a new job, and to justify selling another house in efforts to relocate " Callie replied smartly.

Hearing Meredith giggle; Callie dipped her head to capture her fiancés lips.

It was a short kiss, just enough to moisten their lips . On pulling back she pulled Meredith closer to her so that they were practically one.

Meredith in turn wrapped her arms around Callie and let them just be in their own skin. They had not always been this comfortable with their public displays of affection, especially when their relationship had come out in Miami but slowly everything had turned and it had been completely natural for them.

"Te amo" Callie whispered to Meredith before lowering a hand to squeeze her arse.

Callie watched as Meredith smiled before returning the arse squeeze. "You too" Meredith returned as she then pulled out of their hug and returned to holding callie's hand.

Callie watched as something new and fresh took over her fiancé and suddenly they continued their path towards the building, knowing that this was the first day of a new part of their life together.

- Heavy Heart - Heavy Heart -

Ellis grey hated when people were late, and she considered them so if they weren't present and waiting 5 minutes before their scheduled meeting time. Tardiness was never tolerated, and matters had only been made worse with the knowledge that it was her daughter and her infatuation that were late.

She had been wanting Meredith to come home now for the past 2 years. It had been encouraged by the fact that she was tired of reading all the great things she had been doing and had insisted that she got to see her in action. Of course, the only way Ellis had been able to lure her daughter home was to offer a position to her daughters apparent fiancé.

Picking up Callie Torres had not been intentional but even Ellis had to admit that what she had read on the woman was impressive. It was her game and her research that had cemented her position at the hospital, being Meredith's partner meant nothing.

Now though, Ellis fumed, both women had not only decided to share an appointment with her, but both had the nerve to be late. Turning away from the clock, Ellis looked at the only personal item that she had in the room, a photo of her family.

Looking now at a young Meredith, Ellis still had no idea where she had gone wrong. Both her and thatcher had been grooming her to marry a nice young man and instead she chose to use her best features to dazzle a woman. She had no idea how her husband felt about the situation as both seemed to ignore the fact that their only heir would most likely not give them a grand child or even marry.

Letting out a sigh, Ellis looked away from the photo and to the window that surrounded her office view of the foyer and cat walk. She watched as her daughter walked beside Callie Torres, hand in hand. They appeared to be talking quietly to each other. Ellis had to admit she had never seen her daughter looking so relaxed. Deciding to pull back on her temper, Ellis continued to watch her daughter as she shifted to brush a kiss on her fiancés cheek before moving towards her office door.

The knock was short and sharp, much like the way she had raised her daughter, and Ellis waited a moment, pretending to be busy before going to the door to greet them.

She forced a smile, she really wanted to get this part over. It had nothing to do with the company, but more so the formalities that needed to be worked through before contracts were completely signed.

"Ladies," Ellis invited and watched as Meredith raised an eyebrow at her.

Ellis watched as Meredith led herself and Callie into the room.

"Dr Grey" Callie responded, however, Meredith remained quiet.

"Welcome to Seattle Grace. I assure you, you won't be disappointed with the facilities." Ellis greeted further and could tell that her daughter clicked on straight away to what was happening.

"Thank you" both girls quickly responded.

Soon both girls were seated and their contracts signed, and any idea of what came next had been lost.

"Well" Ellis sounded once the work based crap had been finished. She was not too sure what she should now do in regards to her daughter and her companion.

"I know where everything is" Meredith quickly informed her and Ellis replies with a thin smile.

"Where did you both decide to stay?" Ellis intercepts before her daughter could find a way out. " your father thought you would like the penthouse until you find something."

Callie looked at her future mother in law and figured that it was now that she needed to step in and show that she was able to provide for her fiancé. " We have a house in Queen Anne, I flew out early to source it and ensure that it was what we both wanted before purchasing." Callie spoke up and could see that Ellis was shocked.

"It's fully furnished and we have everything we need, but thank you for the offer." Callie finished before reaching over and taking Meredith's hand.

"Wasting your trust fund?" Ellis asked Meredith quickly and Meredith felt Callie tense beside her.

"Mother" Meredith said as she attempted to speak up

"I paid for that damn house. " Callie said as she moved to stand and Meredith moved quickly to position herself between the woman she loved and her mother. She knew Callie had the ability to become almost bear like when she felt threatened.

"Mother" Meredith said, as her hand moved to rest against callie's stomach. "Calliope and I both have sizeable trust funds, neither have had any desire or need to touch them since med school. The house we have, Calliope purchased out of her own pay check."

"Mer" Callie growled from behind her.

"Am I to believe this?" Ellis asked.

Meredith nodded, "feel free to check the account. You and daddy still have access."

" I can provide for my own damn family." Callie seethed and Meredith turned to her completely aiming to shut her mother out.

" I know baby" Meredith said, as she raised a hand to caress her tanned cheek, "and now so does she."

Ellis watched the exchange and could see how her daughter seemed to calm the woman almost instantly .

"Your father and I were concerned." Ellis told her daughter with a sigh.

"There is no need to be mother, Calliope Torres has the same social standing as we Grey's and even if she didn't, she would still find a way to provide for our growing family."

As Meredith finished the sentence, she moved to rest a hand on her fiancés stomach. She hadn't intended on telling her mother that they had a child coming, not for quite a while yet, but the information had tumbled out in an effort to show her mother that they were indeed a family.

"My uterus, her egg." Callie said simply, before moving to wrap her arms around Meredith. She had been surprised by Meredith's over share, but knew that she had done it for them.

"Your timetables" Ellis promptly sounded, not sure of what else she could say to the revelation. She then handed over the papers.

Meredith taking her abruptness as a need to process what had been revealed , took both her own and her fiancés schedules and dragged Callie towards the door. She knew that in finding the time to settle in, her mother would take the time to think of a suitable reaction to the news.
