Okay well I am home now so I am taking this opportunity to write another chapter. There will probably be two or three more and I am also thinking about a sequel. This chapter starts right after the other one ends.
The Start of Something New
Derek walked through the halls of the hospital the following afternoon, a smile spread across his face. He had had fun last night, had fun with Meredith at Christy's basketball game. He had realized how much he missed just talking to Meredith for fun, for no reason in particular. He had had fun watching his daughter play the game that she loved so much, watching her lead her team to another victory. He had also had fun just hanging out with her after, both of them happy and having fun like they used to; like the father and daughter that they used to be before this all started.
His smile disappeared when he noticed his wife walking towards him with a slight scowl on her face. She looked angry and maybe a little hurt, but she really had nothing to be hurt about. "Have fun last night?" She asked him bitterly, once they go closer.
"Yes Addison," he said. "I did have fun. Our daughter played another wonderful game of basketball and then I took her out for dinner after and we laughed and talked."
"That isn't what I'm talking about Derek and you know it." She responded, her temper elevating. "I heard Meredith and her little friends were at the game."
"They were. They came to watch Christy play Basketball, they like her and care about her and wanted to see her play. Is that a problem?"
"No Derek that isn't the problem, the problem is Christy was probably devastated when she saw you two sitting in the stands together, she doesn't like that we're falling apart. And before you say it; she may have seemed fine afterwards but that doesn't mean she was." That is when Christy walked around the corner and saw her parents but she decided to stay hidden and just listen, she wanted to know what was really going on and if what she was already doing was working. "All I am saying Derek is that we need to keep trying, we need to keep trying until we are sure it can't happen until we're sure she'll be okay with it."
Derek sighed, she was right, they had to try, had to try as hard as they possibly could before they gave up. "Ya, I guess we have to try." Well Christy thought, until they're sure it can't happen, I guess I have to help this move a little quicker than and she walked away, knowing what she needed to know.

Meredith Grey had had just walked out of a patients room and almost ran into none other than Christy 'McCutie' Shepherd. "There you are," Christy said.
"Here I am." Meredith repeated, curious as to why Christy had been looking for her. "What's up?"
"Well, I just need to talk to you for a bit, but you look busy can you meet me down in the cafeteria in a bit?"
"Ya," Meredith answered tentatively, "be there in fifteen." Yes, Christy thought, it's already working, and she walked away leaving a confused Meredith standing there.

"Hey dad."
"Hi Sweetie. Good day at school?"
"Ya, thanks. You look tired or something, how bout we go downstairs and I buy you a coffee and you just take a break?"
"You know what, that sounds great Christy, you are such a nice kid." Derek smiled and slung is arm loosely around his daughter's shoulders as they headed down to the cafeteria.
Meredith finished checking on a patient, and realizing it had been about fifteen minutes she went down to the cafeteria. When she got there she saw Christy sitting with Derek at a table, chatting about whatever. She could see that Derek was tired but that didn't matter when he was with his daughter, she almost erased the tiredness from him. Meredith walked over and pulled up a chair with the two Shepherds. "Meredith…" Derek stated, not wanting to sound as happy as he really was that she was here, also remembering what he and his wife had agreed on.
"Hi Derek," she responded and then turned to Christy. "You said wanted you to talk?"
"Uh, ya, I was just wondering how your day was going." Christy asked on the spot. Derek eyed her suspiciously, knowing that wasn't all, his daughter didn't just drag someone down here to ask how there day was, she was up to something.
"My day has been alright, very long and I haven't got to scrub in on any surgery yet so that is sort of disappointing."
"Meredith," Derek piped up, "How would you like to scrub in on my surgery today; I am removing a tumor in an hour."
"I would love that." She smiled.
"Okay, well I will see you in OR 2," he said before getting up and turning to Christy. "I have got to go prepare for that Sweetie, I will see you at home tonight," he said as he kissed the top of her head. "Thank you very much for the coffee."
"Okay, bye daddy." After Derek walked away Meredith looked at Christy. "What?"
"That's it; you brought me down here to ask me how my day was?"
"And, get you a surgery, I saw he had one on the board and I knew he would ask you to scrub in, he likes you."
"Right," Meredith responded, but inside she was happy, Christy noticed it to, and she seemed to be trying to bring them together, boy she loved that kid. Maybe this really would be the start of something new.
Okay well there is then end of that one. Christy finally figures out that her dad isn't happy with her mom and the one who really makes him happy is Meredith. So, she is trying to bring them together. Next chapter…well I'm not about to give it away, I will try and update soon, probably tomorrow.
