Chapter Two

Disclaimer:I don't own anything. Several parts of the dialogue is fromGrey's episodes.

"You see that?" Derek questioned Richard as they started at the brain scans in front of him. They'd been doing everything under a heavy veil of secrecy. And so far they had been successful, but he wasn't sure how he was going to go about a special super secret silent sunset surgery.

"Mmm Hmm." Richard said nodding his head.

"It's a tumor." Derek started, "It's pressing against your optic nerve." Richard sighs but nods nonetheless at Derek.

"Is it operable?" Richard asks him.

"Yes." Derek tells him, "But it does have its risks."

"You mean losing my sight?"

"Yeah." Derek says with a nod.

"Lets see how good you are Shep." Richard tells him looking back at the scans, "How am I going to Ellis." Richard said aloud.

"I can be there if you want me to."

"Oh believe me you will be." Richard said nodding, "Damn woman is never going to let me forget this."

"I'm going to do my very best Richard."

"I trust you Derek." Richard answered.

"A tumor?" Ellis questioned after Derek finished his diagnoses.

"Yes." Derek told her, "I'm going to do everything I can."

"I believe you." Ellis nodded, "How long will he be need to recover."

"A month at the least." Derek told her.

"Okay." Ellis sighed, "We should go ahead and admit him into the hospital. I'll make sure you'll have an OR available and my best team. Dr. Bailey of course, and Dr. Thompson I'll get you list and make sure you're all comfortable."

"Thank you Dr. Grey that's going to make this a lot easier."

"I'll go home know to pack you a bag." She said to Richard who had for the most part been seating back letting Ellis takeover.

"Thank you sweetheart."

"Don't think me yet." Ellis told him kissing his temple, "Were going to have a little talk about letting illnesses get this far."

"That went better then expected." Derek said dryly.

"I'm pretty sure I have the next four weeks to hear about it."

"I hear we have a guest joining us for the next few days." Alex Karev told his friends as they settled down for the lunch. The three of them had been friends since they started their internship.

"How do you know Evil Spawn?" Cristina Yang a hotshot cardio-fellow.

"Nurse Rose is pretty talkative after sex." Alex offered.

"The scary nurse that eats licorice?" Izzie a neo-natal fellow

"Yes her." Alex said, "Anyway she said that Dr. Derek Shepherd came in this afternoon for a V.I.P surgery."

"I wonder who it is." Izzie questioned in amazement.

"Ellis Grey's daughter is coming here for her fellowship." Cristina said, "She better not expect any special treatment."

"I'm sure she's nice." Izzie offered.

"She doesn't need to be nice." Cristina told her, "She's royally in-bred she has the hospital at her footsteps."

"Chill out Yang it's not like she's going after cardio."

"I know that she's Neuro." Cristina answered, "While the rest of had to work are way up she's going to come here with people laying down for her."

"I just hope she's hot." Alex said suddenly looking at the two girls he groaned, "I need more guy friends." Alex said before pushing away from the table.

Meredith had so far handed her fathers illness well. Then again she had known that something was wrong because he was already laying in a hospital bed. She had to be strong for her mother. Right now in this bar with a shot of tequila in front of her she felt like a scared little girl all over again. She had never had to fight the urge to cry.

"Another shot please." Meredith told the bartender as he came back over.

"Are you sure?" He asked as Meredith nodded, "Your going to regret it."

"I know." Meredith smiled before drinking the shot. She ignored the person that came beside her and ordered another drink. She had seen him when he first walked into the bar. A red button down shirt, thick dark hair, and a dreamy sort of smile. He was the type of the guy that was well aware of the fact that he was attractive.

"Is this seat taken?" He questioned her. Meredith turned to look at him shaking her head no, "Do you come here often?" He questioned. She shakes her head before giggling softly.

"Seriously? Did you just ask me that?"

"That was pretty bad." Derek winced himself, "Let me start over I'm Derek." He said holding out his hand.

"Meredith." She said taking his hand.

"I just got in Seattle today. I'm from New York."

"Really?" Meredith said.

"I have to perform an operation tomorrow." Derek told her, "Something I'd really rather not do."

"Tomorrow's my first day at new hospital." Meredith said, "To top it off my fathers just been admitted."

"Oh I'm sorry." Derek said softly.

"Yeah." Meredith shakes her head, "You were trying to pick me up and I just ruined it." Derek laughed in surprised.

"Your very bold."

"Today I get to be bold." Meredith admitted before standing up leaving behind a stake of bills, "I asked Joe to call me a cab awhile a go. If you want we could continue this back at your place."

Quickly finishing his drink Derek followed the tiny blonde out of the dimly lit bar.

Author Note: Derek and Meredith have met. They've flirted at the bar and are know going back to Derek's hotel room. What's going to happen tomorrow when they find out each other's identity?
