Title: The Sweetest Place on Earth

Summary: Two people leave the hospital tying to escape their past, but what happens when they run into each other. Meredith never chose between Derek and Finn she just couldn't so she didn't chose either. Derek and Addison are divorced. Addison and Mark are together and happy.

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Grey's Anatomy or I would be watching it now. I don't own anything.

Note: I wanted a chapter to discuss what is happening in Seattle before they all come for Thanksgiving.

Back in Seattle

Cristina, Izzie, Alex, and George were in the cafeteria. It was almost November and getting cold out. They were all planning there trip to Hershey.

"I talked to Meredith on the phone yesterday. She sounded happy. I don't do happy." Cristina said. "She has been happy for almost a month and a whole lot happier since she moved there."

"Yeah I was talking to her and she was all "My life is so great. I can't wait until Christmas." She never was a holiday person. I think she has a boyfriend." Izzie was saying. George looks some what disappointed and Alex turns white.

"Maybe she is just happy guys. Meredith can be happy." George said. He was planning on telling her it didn't work with Callie because he still wanted her.

"No Meredith is dark and twisty. She can't be bright and shiny that is like when she was celibate. It doesn't work. She will break just like she did McDreamy at prom. I miss how messed up her life is. It makes my problems with Burke so much simpler." Cristina said he was still having tremors and couldn't work. After there surgery team was dissolved it took a lot for her friends to forgive her.

"Is your relationship with Burke any better? Alex and I have an open relationship we share everything." Alex grabbed Izzie's hand and squeezed it. He was so happy for once in his life he made the right choice.

"Not really I think visiting Mer might cheer him up though. He always says we should have a real holiday."

They all finish lunch and head on with there other activities. They all having there own surgeries and interns to take care of before they can go home and pack. Shortly after lunch Alex gets a call from Meredith. She sounded happy like every time she called. Since he found out about Derek and the baby, which he didn't know the sex of she wanted him to be some what surprise or there friends would know he knew before them she would call almost every day. He would talk about his relationship with Izzie and there friends or his job. She would tell him about her new life and Derek. Alex also kept her up on the details of there upcoming trip. Meredith never knew that Alex was such a descent person that he buried under his cockiness.

Miranda Bailey hated the new interns. They were to smart and happy. She missed her suck-ups. She of course would never admit it to them. Now she has to spend Thanksgiving with them. She hoped they were doing the right thing by showing up announced on Thanksgiving on Meredith Grey's door step. They don't know what she might have planned or with who but they are going. Even the chief is going. He has left his wife since she left and retired and is off traveling. Richard still keeps in touch with her and Burke. Bailey always wondered what happened to Derek Shepherd. The hospital had a whole lot less to talk about with him and Meredith gone. Now who would punch out Mark Sloane and who would get drunk and sleep with inappropriate guys and have them show up in the hospital the next day. Seattle Grace had hardly any good gossip now just Addison and Mark's on and off again relationship. Bailey also couldn't believe the Izzie and Alex were getting married.

"What are you looking at?" She asked an intern who was just staring at her.

Ellis Grey, who is an excellent surgeon probably the best female surgeon but a horrible mother, was visiting her daughter for Thanksgiving. Today she was in Seattle with her boyfriend who finally chose her. She wondered what Meredith would think at Thanksgiving. When Meredith called she mentioned she had big news to tell her mother and was real excited about it. It was the happiest she has heard Meredith in a while. The whole Derek thing she had warned her about but, a warning can't stop love. She can't wait to see her daughter and reconnect with her. They were never close but now she was truly happy in life with her new boyfriend and traveling primarily in the USA for the next year or so. She really wanted to get to know her daughter again and be a better mother.

"Are you scared about seeing her again?" Ellis asked her boyfriend. He knew her a long time ago.

Mark and Addison were sitting in their new condo that she bought after Derek left. They were packing for their trip to visit Meredith. Neither of them had a day off until they have to leave for Hershey.

"Mark, are you sure we should visit her. I am not friends with her. She hates me. I am the wife well ex-wife of the love of her life. I took her dog." Addison said rethinking why she agreed to go with her friends to visit her.

"Hey it doesn't matter anymore. She is happy apparently. Maybe you did a good thing. She left and is really happy now. I am sure it doesn't matter who you were married to know that she isn't interested in him and besides what kind of friend would I be if I didn't go." Addison smiled at this. It wasn't like Derek was going to be there. She hasn't spoken with him since the divorce was finalized.

Next chapter is Thanksgiving. I thought I would give a different view on things from her clueless friends in Seattle and a few other characters as well. Thanks for the reviews. Probably more tonight.
