When Val woke up the next morning she had a hangover and her alarm clock wasn't helping her. She saw the Aspirin and a glass of water on her night table. She could already tell today was going to be a shitty day.
When she got to work Derek came up to her.
Val- I have a major hangover please leave me alone.
Derek- I thought you weren't with Mark?
Val- Derek hangover ok please leave
Derek- he will hurt you.
Val- I'm about to hurt you if you DON'T leave me alone.
Derek- fine I'm leaving.
Meredith saw Val at the nurse's station waiting for charts and went up to her.
Meredith- I'm your intern for the day.
Val- okay
Meredith- Why are you so mad at Derek?
Val- because he needs to learn that he can't control my life
Meredith- he cares about you.
Val- Meredith can we talk about it some other time, I have a horrible hangover and right now I need you to start rounds while I change.
Meredith- okay but for what it's worth he loves you.
Val went into the locker room to change. When she was done putting on her scrubs she went to splash some water on her face. She heard someone walk in and saw Mark.
Mark- hey.
Val- hey, thanks for the Aspirin and for getting me to my hotel room.
Mark- no problem
Val- did I do or say anything that I should be regretting right now?
Mark- other than throwing up on me three times no
Val- Oh god I'm sorry
Mark- don't worry about it.
Silence
Val- Well I should….
Mark- yeah I'll see you later.
Val left the locker room and then a minute later Derek walked in to be met with Mark standing there.

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g

Derek- leave her alone.
Mark- you don't get to tell me what I can or can't do.
Derek- so first you sleep with my wife and then you start sleeping with my sister why can't you just stay away from her
Mark- what's the point of talking to you if you're just going to end up punching me in the face.
He walked off and Derek knew he had to do something about this romance.

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g

Christina and Izzie were standing around waiting for charts from the nurses when they saw Val come out of one of the patients rooms and Mark walk out of the locked room. They saw each other and Val smiled at him. Sorta like a schoolgirl with a crush. Mark meanwhile gave her a sexy smile but you could see in his eyes how he was in love with her.
They walked of in opposite directions.
Christina- that's not fair she's hot and she get's McSteamy.
Izzie- you have Burke.
Christina- who cares about Burke when you can have that.
Izzie- Christina you're drooling stop it.

Val was walking down the hall when she saw someone go by that looked a lot like┘┘
Val- shit.
She quickly hid behind the wall when she saw Derek walking towards her.
Derek- look I'm…..
Val- Derek!
Derek- Val please I'm s…...
Val- Derek.
Derek- just let me finish speaking I'm so…
Val- Derek shut up. Mom's here.
Derek- shit, what?
Val- yeah I just saw her go by and knowing her she's here for a reason.
Mark was in the hall walking when he saw Val and Derek. He smiled at Val.
She ushered Mark over to them.
Val- whatever you do don't go to the nurses station.
Mark- why?
Derek- our mother is here.
Mark- shit.
Val- yeah you think.
Mark- she hates me.
Derek- she hates me.
Val- she hates me too. We should start a club.
Derek- what would we call it?
Val- the "People hated by Fiona Louise Sheppard club■" and Meredith might join soon too.
Derek- oh god we have to keep her away from Meredith, she can't scare her away.
Val- with the rumors that are flying around she'll know about you and Meredith in 5 minutes.
Derek- but not before she finds out about you and Mark.
Val- Derek shut up, we need a plan.
Mark who was on stake out quickly turned around.
Mark- hide she's coming.
They started making their way to the supply closet but they heard the voice. "Derek, Val, and Mark you aren't trying to hide from me are you?"
Val turned to Derek and both whispered "shit"

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g

They all slowly turned around.
Val- mom, hi
Fiona- what exactly were you three doing?
Val- oh we were going to have a threesome.
Fiona- really I could have sworn you were hiding from me.
Mark- well I should really go, I have a surgery.
He quickly left.
Fiona- so where should we go and talk?
Val- well I can't really talk I have to go and┘
Fiona- nice try I checked the board you both don't have any surgeries for the next hour and a half.
Derek- c'mon let's go to my office.
When they walked in Fiona started rambling right away.
Fiona- I can't believe two of my kids got divorced it's crazy you both should have made it work this is ridiculous.
Val- MOM, just because you put up with dad abusing you for 40 years until he finally died doesn't mean I have to.
She left the room
Derek turned to his mother
Derek- you knew what he was doing to her?
Fiona- yes and that's not a good enough reason to get a divorce it shows she's weak.
Derek- no mother it shows that she's strong enough to walk away something you could never do.
He also left the room.
He found Val sitting in a supply closet crying. Derek could never stand to see his sister crying he closed the door and wrapped his arms around her.
Val- I hate her.
Derek- me too, she has no right to talk to you like that.
Val- that woman is crazy I really think she is.
Derek- it's our mother of course she's crazy.
They both smiled.
Derek- I'm sorry for getting involved in your business. I just don't want you to get hurt.
Val- I can take care of myself Der, I love you really but I'm not a little kid anymore.
Derek- I know unfortunately.
He gave her a hug.

Derek was looking at the board when Meredith came up to him.
Mer- hey, what's wrong?
Derek- my mother's here
Mer- oh umm are you going to introduce us?
Derek- trust me you don't want to meet my mother, she just made Val cry, and she never cries.
Mer- ok you're right I don't want to meet her. Are you sure you're alright?
Derek- yeah
He turned to her and wrapped his arms around her. Meredith looked up and Derek kissed her lightly on the mouth.
"aren't you going to introduce us?" Derek and Meredith broke apart and Meredith blushed at the sight of a woman whom she figured was Derek's mom.
Fiona- hello I'm Fiona Sheppard and you are?
Mer- Hi I'm Meredith Grey
Fiona- pleasure. It's nice to meet the woman who ruined my son's marriage.
Derek- MOM.
Fiona- don't mom me if she wasn't around you and Addie would still be married
"Mother stop harassing people" Fiona turned around and saw Val standing there.
Fiona- do not tell me what to do.
Val- mom leave please
Fiona- fine but I will be back.
She turned and left and Derek and Val turned to Meredith who looked like she was going to start crying.
