Chapter 6: A Band?
"What are you guys doing here" asked Derek pulling them into a hug.
"Well we heard you needed a band for the wedding" Mary said.
"We do" Meredith said with a questioning look on her face.
"Well here you go" Emily said.
"We would have to hear you guys first" Derek said.
"Of course, our equipment is in your garage" Jenny said with a smirk "and all ready hooked up"
They all walk outside to the garage, and Meredith and Derek took a seat. As Jenny grabbed the bass, and Emily grabbed her guitar, their was someone else in the group.
"And we would like to introduce our drummer and dj, Dee" Mary said.
Dee stood up and gave each of them a hand shake before sitting back down. Izzie ran over to Mary who was the singer and whispered in her ear.
"Ok" Mary said with a smile.
They all got into a group huddle before Jenny grabbed the acoustic guitar.
As Jenny started to play, Meredith started to tear up, they were singing her song, Torn by Natalie Imbruglia.
I
thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came
around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him
anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation
has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and
I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The
perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
"Ok, ok I've heard enough" Meredith said pulling Derek to the side.
After a few tough seconds of debating they came to a conclusion.
"Yes"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously!" Meredith said.
"Ok just give us a list of what songs and we will learn" Jenny said jumping up and down.
"Oh that will be hard" Meredith said as she sat on Derek's lap.
"Well let's see what else you guys can do" Derek said.
As they sang to hits like Avril, The Cardigans, Cascada, Evanescence, and Jem, and the Pussycat Dolls, Meredith and Derek felt more confident about their decision for them as a group.
"So what do you think" Mary asked.
"You guys are wonderful, thanks for playing at our wedding" they said.
"No problem" Emily said rubbing her hands.
"Umm can we take a break" Mary said.
"Sure lets go inside and watch a movie" Izzie said bounding toward the door.
As everyone went inside Izzie started to make her famous cup cakes before watching. Meredith was talking to Mary about her vocal skills, Christina was talking to Emily about different stuff, and Derek and George were talking to Dee about her drumming. As for Jenny she was helping Izzie make cup cakes. 4 hours, 3 movies, and about 50 cupcakes later, the girls had to go home.
"See you guys at the wedding" Mary said "just mail me the list ok"
"Ok see you guys later" Meredith said as a frisky Derek led her upstairs.
"DEREK" she giggled as he kissed her neck as they walked through the door.
"What" he said pouting at her
"Oh now how can I resist that face" she said pulling him into a deep, and passionate kiss.
In the morning:
"Thank god we have the day off" said Meredith leaning into Derek.
"Yea I know, but I have some things to do later" Derek said.
"What" Meredith asked pouting?
"Stuff now get your lazy ass out of bed I want to make you breakfast" Derek said playfully slapping her ass as he walked into the bathroom.
"Fine" she said as she put some clothes on.
An hour later Derek cooked Meredith the best breakfast she had ever had, while cleaning out her refrigerator in the process.
"Seriously, Mer, cold grilled cheese" he asked.
"That was before I had someone to cook for me" she said putting her dishes in the sink, smiling.
Looking at the clock, Derek realized he had to go "sorry love, but I have to go" he said holding her by the waist.
"Do you really have to go" she asked?
"Yes but, I can't leave until you give me something" he said playfully.
"What" she said with a smirk?
"This" he said as he pulled her into a passionate kiss.
"Oh" she said after watching him leave.
At Derek's Trailer:
"So Bob you think you can have it ready by November 14th" asked Derek?
"Yep and we will give you the keys, November 13th, sound good" bob asked looking at the land.
"Yep" said Derek as he left to go to his car.
Couple weeks from then: start of their residency-
"So what do you think he is planning or doing for that matter" asked Meredith as she slipped her scrub top over her head.
"I don't know Mer, he could be planning anything" Cristina said smiling as she waited for Bailey to come with their interns.
Bailey came through the door with all the interns in toe.
"These are you inters, do your worst" Bailey said smirking handing everyone their charts. As Meredith looked through her chart she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Meredith lets go" said Cristiana said pushing her forward.
"Ok" Meredith whispered "Matthew Donavan"
A brown haired boy stepped forward "here" he said very shyly.
"Anna Swan"
"Here" a tall perky blond stepped forward.
"Oh god, ummmm Zach Preston"
"here" an arrogant brown haired stepped up.
Shaking her head she said the last name on her list "Amber Grey"
"Here" a skinny blonde girl stepped up, and she looked almost like Meredith.
"What the-" Christina said before Meredith said cutting her off.
"She's my half sister, Derek told me about her" Meredith said running off "lets go"
As Meredith ran off with her interns the rest called off the names on their charts, as she stopped at the table they picked up their pagers and went on their way.
"What do we have" Derek said smiling at Meredith.
"Ummmm Krystal Brooks, brought in because she claims to be dizzy, and have migraines 5 times a day" said Anna.
"How do we proceed" Meredith asked.
"Take her down for a ct, and MRI, all the precautionary tests and we go from there"
"Anna your on the case lets move" Meredith said after smiling at Derek. "Ok Grey, your with Dr. Burke, Preston your with, Dr. Bailey , and Donovan your in the pit, lets move"
LUNCH:
"Interns suck" Meredith said slamming her tray down.
"I know don't know how Bailey ever dealt with us" said Christina as she read a magazine.
Not to far from there:
"So Dr. Shepherd is a really hottie isn't he" Anna said as she sat down with her other interns.
"It's against the rules to date an attending" Mat said.
"Who said I was going to date him" she said smirking.
"Don't bother he's taken" Amber said eating her lunch.
"Oh yea by who" Anna asked?
"Dr. Grey" Amber said looking at a magazine.
"Really wow" Matthew exclaimed looking at Meredith.
"Well that can easily be changed" said Anna as she left the table in search of Derek.
At a nurses station-
"Hi Dr. Shepherd" Anna said flipping her hair.
"Hello" Derek said never looking up.
For the next ten minutes Anna tried everything she could to get him to notice her, but just then Meredith walked up.
"Hey there" she said to Derek as she walked up.
"Hey their gorgeous, got any plans for tonight" Derek said kissing her.
"Nope why" Meredith said seductively as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Cause I plan to take you somewhere" he said as he whispered in her ear causing her to giggle.
As Anna stormed away, Derek laughed as his pager went off "I got to go, meet me at Joes"
"Ok" she said as she turned and ran down the hall way.
"Oh I'll be there" Anna said as she ran down the hall to her resident.
"So like are you and Dr. Shepherd serious" Anna asked hoping for the best.
"Ummmm yes we are getting married next month" Meredith said holding up her hand.
"Oh ok" Anna sounded disappointed and Meredith turned toward her intern.
"Anna it is against the rules to date an attending I hope you know that" Meredith said as she turned to walk.
