When they arrive at the hospital Amelia pulls her aside

Meredith: What?

Amelia: Spill it sister! I babysat your kids, changed diapers and sang Frank Sinatra songs so

Meredith: Yes!

Amelia: Yes you

Meredith: Yes, I am off the market again.

Amelia: No, you are not, you

Meredith beams with joy: Yes, I am now officially Meredith Di Luca Shepard Grey

Amelia: No you are not.

Meredith: Yes I am, we married in Vegas, in the desert. I was wearing a wonderful dress, here have look,

Amelia: Wow that looks like out of a magazine, he organised that when?

Meredith: During the flight. He well asked people

Amelia: He isn't poor, Di Luca

Meredith: Andrea di Luca, everybody just calls him Andrew and his daddy is the current secretary of state, his brother is supposed to be the next president and the family owns half of New York. His sister is a well-known painter and his mother is the heir to a vinery dynasty.

Amelia: Wow, just wow, he is a catch!

Meredith: Yeah and he married me, me the widow with three kids that

Amelia: No, stop it. HE married you and you are amazing and

Meredith: Well, he is

Amelia: I wanna hear all about it but first you

Maggie comes running: You did it

Meredith: You told her?

Amelia: I needed help babysitting your three kids and Maggie and I made plans for the house.

Alex walks by casually after Meredith wasn't in the hospital yesterday.

Alex: So, where were you?

Maggie: She got married.

Alex: What?

Maggie: She got married and is now

Meredith: Meredith Di Luca Shepard Grey.

Alex: You are insane, you married that intern.

Meredith: Yes but I am also happy! Please let me be happy because I am staying in my house you are moving in with Jo and Callie, Amelia and Maggie are moving into my old house.

Alex: He is an intern…

Richard: Meredith are you ok?

Maggie: Daddy, she got married?

Richard: Daddy? This the first time, excuse me Meredith did what?

Meredith: I got married, without asking I am Dr. Meredith Di Luca Shepard Grey and that won't change and yes Andrew is my new husband and he is perfect and yes he is an intern but so was I when I met Derek, if you want to put a notice on the bulletin board great, do it, otherwise leave me alone because I need to talk to Jackson, to explain to him why my husband will get seat on the board of directors although he is an intern.

Richard: What?

Meredith: He is the son of the current secretary of state, he is wealthy, he could buy this hospital in seconds, he has more money than your wife and no I didn't marry him because of that, I didn't know that fact. I married him because he will build a swing in the garden for the kids. He comes from this big happy family that love each other and I want that for my kids because it is what I would have had with Derek and I was stupid enough not to see it so now I got a second chance and nobody is going to destroy this for me because I deserve happiness and joy and I have Callie on my side and Amelia. Got it?

Meredith is furious and leaves, Richard nearly destroyed her own life when he stayed with Adele and didn't marry her mother who loved him more than Meredith ever understood. How different her life could have been with Maggie as a sister, growing up together in a family of doctors.

Richard: She is

Amelia: In love, she is in love and I think he is the best thing that could have ever happened to her.

Richard: I don't know why you could ever, he was your brother, Amelia.

Amelia: He was my brother and he died, life goes on and the kids need a dad and he is great. I will look after him, so will others, he will become a great doctor and dad and with, I remember Derek telling me about Pegasus and how he nearly lost his arm, good medicine comes at a price and only when people understand what we do, we can continue to be great and by the way, Owen agrees with me and so does Jackson and April.

Richard: But she didn't have to marry the guy, they could have dated and then after a while, he would have proposed and then...

Amelia: But she loves him and why wait? So that she has time to screw this up? Richard, that is not an option, she went through so much just let her be happy for once.

Richard: What about you?

Amelia: I ll figure out myself later but for now, let Meredith be Meredith, let her enjoy her life and give Andrew a break. Weren't you in the committee who chose the new interns?

Richard: Yes but I wasn't the only one and we

Amelia: So he

Richard: He was on top of the list, he skipped two years, he has an incredible mind, this is the first year where we tested both medical and business and he was the top candidate in both. We nearly didn't get him because Johns Hopkins had him but then we got a call and he chose us, last minute.

Amelia: See and why should we punish him now only because he fell in love or has money? Oh my god, Richard she is your daughter, she is, you are scared she messes him up? You are scared that Meredith, how can you, I didn't think of that, I

Richard: I knew her mother and I saw her with Derek.

Amelia: But they made it, they made it and you interfered before because you didn't have the courage to marry Alice Grey and be a father to Maggie.

Maggie takes a sharp breath

Amelia: Maggie I am so sorry but he is just

Maggie looks at Amelia and leaves, she cant listen to them fighting anymore.

Amelia: God I can't believe, I am going to talk to Maggie later, I fix this but you never ever tell Meredith that. This stays between us and I forbid you, she has a right to be happy and he can handle her.

Richard: What if he can't?

Amelia: He will, it's his decision and we will never talk about this and you don't you dare say anything to Maggie, try to be like a dad and make your daughters come first after I have explained things to her.

Richard: Well

Amelia: Unbelievable! I need to cut something now, I see you later and if I were you I would throw Meredith a party, a big one.

Richard: Well, why don't you throw her one and I turn up?

Amelia: Ok but

Richard: I ll be there, I tell Catherine, women

Amelia leaves Richard and is furious. In her mind Meredith has a right to be happy and if Meredith would be happy maybe the glowing would shine on her, maybe she would finally find peace and could go back to her family to show that she wasn't the black sheep anymore. "I should call mom" she thought to herself "and the others".

A few floors down Stephanie bumps into Andrew

Stephanie: Dr. Di Luca, so you decided to skip one of your shifts, your first week that will have consequences?

Andrew: Yes, I am really sorry, it will never happen again but I had my patients covered. Please accept my sincere apologies Dr. Edwards but I got married, I really needed to get married, I skipped the honeymoon so here I am back at your service Dr. Edwards.

Stephanie: You got what? Married to

Andrew: Dr. Shepard Grey is now Dr. Di Luca Shepard Grey, Dr. Edwards.

Stephanie looks at him: So now you are

Andrew: I am your intern and here to learn from you. My wife has nothing to do with it.

Stephanie: But

Andrew: But in the future I need to attend board meetings as well.

Stephanie: Excuse me? You, need to do what?

Andrew: Yes because I am going to ask my family to finance the new wing that will be building in honour of Derek Shepard, and the new programme training doctors in emergency medicine.

Stephanie: Oh so you are, you are another Jackson and I, fine, I

Andrew: Jackson and I went to the same school if that is what you mean, I was just in a different class and younger Dr. Edwards but that has nothing to do with my qualifications, I graduated top of my class. I was chosen for this programme and nobody knew, I had offers from other programmes based on my abilities not based on my family.

Stephanie: I, you have a lot to learn.

Andrew: Of course, that is why I am here but I will help this hospital to become number one, I admire the surgeons that bought it and I didn't know who Dr. Grey was when I met her. I respect you a great deal Dr. Edwards but there will be a difference between me that is your pupil and me that is shaping the future of this hospital because I had the education for it, I was trained for it, that is what happened in my family and I can't change that. I am so sorry if that sounds arrogant to you but I look forward working with you.

Stephanie looks at him and storms away. She is annoyed by what she assumes is Andrew s entitlement and the way she perceives he sees the world.

Andrew just stands there shaking his head. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want anybody to know who he was in the first place. But that had changed the moment he saw her, his wife, Meredith. He loved her more than anyone else in his life, that is why he hadn't waited, he couldn't let her go away, he didn't want to risk a thing, so he did something he promised himself he wouldn't do when he came Seattle. "I just wanted to be a normal intern" he whispers to himself "and now I have to do what my family predicted I would do because we all do it, take responsibility".

He wanders away and bumps into Callie who hugs him.

Callie: Congratulations.

Andrew: Thanks, so you

Callie: I am Dr. Torres, call me Callie and I think this was gutsy.

Andrew: Thanks!

Callie: Wanna scrub in?

Andrew: What?

Callie: Fight is on, Dr. Hunt is looking for you. We all want to have you, every specialty because we see your talent.

Andrew: But Dr. Edwards

Callie: Here, this is the card we all fill out as a sport to see which intern has the most talent, after calculating all the points who do you think came out on top?

Andrew: Me? Was that

Callie: That was before you met Meredith in the car, it was after the accident.

Andrew: Wow, so

Callie: Wanna be a surgeon?

Andrew: Yes

Callie: Then come on in, we have some bones to fix and later, I heard you are good with kids because

Andrew: You are Sofia s mom.

Callie smiles: Yes!

Andrew: Please, she is adorable.

Callie: Thank you, now come on.
