Disclaimer: I would really love to one day meet Shonda Rhimes. Really really really love that. However I do not want to meet her in a court room being sued. So please note ... Grey's Anatomy is not mine. How I wish it was. But I am not taking credit. These characters are not mine.
First, thanks for all the great reviews. They make my life. I love that there's a whole bunch of people that I can expect to hear from. I have fans, how cool is that?
Second, for this chapter . . . I don't think Meredith and Derek have MSN or Yahoo or anything like that. I don't. However for the purposes of this story, they have to. And I'm going to play around with their nicknames and stuff. Would they in real life (well GA-life)? No. But this is my fic. And they do. So well, no complaining. I know it's a stretch. I'm taking creative liscence, a writer has to do that sometimes.
So enjoy!

SexyShep: Mer? You there?
Meredith: Seriously?
SexyShep: What?
Meredith: Seriously? SexyShep? That's your nickname?
SexyShep: Are you going to disagree with it?
Meredith: No, but I can think of much more appropriate ones.
SexyShep: As I can imagine.
Meredith: What are you doing online anyway? Aren't you supposed to be living in a tent?
SexyShep: As it turns out some VIP needed life saving brain surgery and he flew me in. Put me in a pretty nice hotel room for the week.
Meredith: I miss you.
SexyShep: I miss you too. 50 weeks to go.
Meredith: That's a long time and I feel like crap.
SexyShep: Lol, I feel like crap without you too, hun.
Meredith: Funny. I'm laughing, I really am. But I literally feel like crap.
SexyShep: What's wrong?
Meredith: Nothing, I'm sure it's nothing.
SexyShep: Meredith . . .
Meredith: Derek it's just stomach stuff, probably just the flu or something I ate.
SexyShep: How long have you been sick?
Meredith: A couple of days.
SexyShep: Get it checked if you don't feel better by Friday.
Meredith: Derek . . .
SexyShep: Meredith you know if I was there you would have been dragged to the hospital yesterday so be happy that I'm giving you to Friday.
Meredith: Fine.
SexyShep: I worry about you, I hate not being there for you.
Meredith: You're the one that went to Africa.
SexyShep: I'm sorry.
Meredith: I know you are, and I'm okay with it, I really am.
SexyShep: Are you?
Meredith: No. But I love you anyway, so you still have a spot in my bed. You read the letter.
SexyShep: I loved the letter. So we're good?
Meredith: We'd be a hell of a lot better if you changed your nickname.
SexyShep: I happen to like my nickname.
Meredith: You would.
I 3 Meredith: Is that better?
Meredith: You less than three me?
I 3 Meredith: You need to hang out with my teenage neices and nephews more often. It's a heart.
Meredith: Do I want to be hearted?
I 3 Meredith: By me? Yes.
Meredith: God I miss you. How the hell am I supposed to get through the next 50 weeks without you?
I 3 Meredith: When I figure out how I'm going to get through the next 50 weeks without you I'll let you know and you can do whatever I do.
Meredith: Crap, it's 12:30, I have to go.
I 3 Meredith: Life as an intern?
Meredith: Yeah. And missing my favourite attending.
I 3 Meredith: He's missing you too.
Meredith: I love you.
I 3 Meredith: I love you too.
Meredith: Change your nickname.
I 3 Meredith: Go to the doctors and I'll gladly change my nickname.
Meredith: Fine.
I 3 Meredith: Love you.
Meredith: Love you too. Bye.

I 3 Meredith: Cristina!
Yang: Yes?
I 3 Meredith: It's Derek.
Yang: So I assumed from the sickening nickname. How is it your managing making me feel sick from half away across the world?
I 3 Meredith: Sorry. Mer's sick.
Yang: What?
I 3 Meredith: She's been feeling like crap. She said she'd go get checked, but you know Mer . . . can you watch out for her for me?
Yang: Yes. You asked me that about one hundred times before you left. Answer is still yes.
I 3 Meredith: Cristina . . .
Yang: Don't worry. I have your back. Although this would be a lot easier if you were here.
I 3 Meredith: Don't remind me.
Yang: Just hurry back or something.
I 3 Meredith: The second my year is up I'll be back there.
Yang: Good.

Doesn't help to know that you're just time away.
So seemingly the less than sign doesn't work on this site, but I think you all know what Derek's latest IM nickname is. Meredith spells it out so just pretend it's there.
So that was my first IM chapter. It was different than the others so I hoped it still worked. Please let me know if it sucked. Because if it sucked I won't write anymore like it. And don't worry, there won't be many of it. Just occasionally when I need immediate interaction between two characters. Mainly it's going to be letters and emails.
And this chapter was mainly filler. Because it's leading to, well I think we can figure out what it's leading to.
The next chapter, well it should be up as you're reading this one. Because these chapters are supper fast to write compare to my other fics. I love that. And I still don't have an exact length for this fic. I know what I want the last chapter to be, I'm just going to have to see how it plays out to get me there.
So . . .
Read. Love. Review.
