It was a long day and all Meredith Grey-Shepherd could think about what going home, putting her son to bed and sitting with a tub of ice cream on the couch, watching a romantic comedy with her husband. She finished in the locker room of the hospital and headed towards the elevator. She stepped out onto the 9th floor and as soon as she walked into daycare, her son Ethan came flying towards her. "Mommy", he screamed and she bent down as far as her pregnant frame would let her to scoop up her son and hug him tightly. It had been a long day filled with a rectal exams, and a child's death that crushed her to tell the parents. Her and Derek has worked almost 4 hours in the OR, repairing the child to the fullest extent only for the 11 year old to die hours later from a burst aneurysm. Mer was thinking in her head when Ethan tugged on her hair. She realized she had been standing there aimlessly for a couple of moments and her son was getting impatient which was understandable for the average 3 year old. "Ready to go home buddy" she asked her son and of course, she got the excited yes from her son. She placed her hand out and he eagerly took it and they both strode towards the elevator in search of her man.
Derek Shepherd was standing at the nurses station when he heard the unmistakable yell of his son. His head turned and he saw his boy speeding towards him as fast as his little legs would let carry him. He bent down to catch his son and as soon as he felt the boy in his arms, he tossed him up in the air. He saw from the corner of his eye his wife coming towards them and he gently set Ethan down on the ground. "Again Daddy, again", said Ethan, but Derek was already kissing his wife. "How was your day?", she asked him and he replied with another kiss on the lips. They were so engrossed in their kiss that they lost the touch of reality until they heard the unmistakable sound of their son knocking down the neatly stacked charts. Their heads snapped and they saw their son, guilty look on his face and Mer and Derek begin picking up the charts. They put them back in alphabetical order and each took one of their son's hands in their own before strolling out of the hospital. Outside they bumped into Callie who was talking a break from the ER. Derek asked "Quiet night?", and Callie said "Like you wouldn't believe and hope it stays that way." Ethan said goodbye to his Aunt Callie and the family of three headed towards the Land Rover parked only steps away.
Derek was at the wheel and the family was listening to the radio with Ethan singing as best he could in the back from his car seat. It was fairly dark outside the vehicle and it seemed nobody was on the road on the Thursday night even though it was pretty early at only 6:43 pm. Derek and Mer started talking about the new baby's nursery when Ethan interrupted from the back announcing that he had dropped his cup. Meredith turned and tried reaching back, but her body just wouldn't twist in the correct direction. She sighed and said "Der, can you get his cup because this baby just won't let me move!" Derek smiled beside her and reached back for the cup, taking his eyes off the road momentarily. When he looked back up, he saw the headlights coming towards them and before he knew it, everything went dark.
