CHAPTER FIVE

Meredith's life had pretty much gone back to normal after a week. Finn didn't turn up anywhere and Samantha was back at her old pre-school. The teachers had been warned about Finn and all seemed well. She still had nightmares about Finn but after snuggled close to her husband, she always slept through the night.

"So, Meredith, as your person, I demand to know what was going on with you last week. Now your all bright and shiny again." Christina said during their lunch.

"Christina, it was nothing."

"Seriously… You're seriously not going to tell me."

She put down her fork, "fine. Fine, I'll tell you. Finn came to see me at work and it freaked me out a little, but Derek fixed it." She said simply, picked back up her fork and finishing her salad.

Christina just stared at her. "Seriously? Seriously?"

"What?"

"Ok, this is like the biggest thing to happen since Samantha and you didn't tell me? I'm your person!" Christina said.

"Chill out. It really wasn't that big a deal."

"You were being nice to interns. We're never nice to interns."

"Well, I'm telling you now, and its over now, so we don't have to talk about it anymore."

Christina lowered her brows in question, as if trying to read Meredith's mind. "Fine…but I can't believe you didn't tell me."

"Next time someone threatens me, I promise I'll tell you."

"Wait… He threatened you?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

After her long discussion with Christina, Meredith was glad to be finishing up her last surgery of the day, which, as a special bonus, Derek was right beside her.

While Derek made his way to his office, Meredith made her way to her locker room. When she opened it, a note fell out. She bent down to pick it up.

'Meredith,

Don't show anybody this letter. Your husband and I had quite a chat about you last week. I was also informed that I am not to come within 100 feet of you or your precious family. But I cant help it Mer. I just might go to that darling pre-school of Samantha's and cause quite a commotion. She's almost as beautiful as you; if she wasn't half McDreamy that is.

Meet me at the bleachers of the High School tonight and maybe you can convince me to leave your family alone, because jail just might be worth seeing your little girl bleed to death.

Yours forever,

Finn.'

Meredith shook with fear. She thought that it was all over. She thought Derek had fixed things. She closed her eyes and pictures her daughters bloody form. She quickly headed back out of the locker room and went to look for Derek.

"Hey, you're not changed?" He said coming out of his office.

"No, I actually got paged. I have a patient who need to be checked on. One of the interns…"

"Do you want me to stay…"

"No. We took separate cars this morning. Pick up Samantha and take her for McDonalds or something."

"Ok." He gave her a kiss, "love you."

"Love you too."

Meredith watched Derek walk away and Meredith quickly rushed back to the locker room. She didn't bother changing, but grabbed her bag and headed to her car.

Her hands shook as she gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter; her knuckles turning white.

She parked her car close to the bleachers, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. She shook her head in disgust when she saw him sitting at the top of the bleachers. The same place they used to make out when they first started dating.

"What the hell do you want from me Finn?" She asked from the bottom.

"Why don't you get your pretty ass up here and I'll tell you."

Meredith climbed the bleachers, taking two at a time. She stood in front of him, her arms crossed over her chest. "This is getting ridiculous Finn. Leave me alone." She pleaded.

"You look really sexy in those scrubs Mer." She said with a sickening smile.

"Finn, I don't want to ask you again-"

"I want you Meredith! We were so great together weren't we?"

"No Finn! We weren't. You hit me."

"I'm not like that anymore baby." He said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

She moved his arm harshly, "maybe you don't hit people anymore, but you sure as hell threaten them."

"I want us to be together Meredith."

"There is no way that is ever going to happen Finn! Just give me my life back."

"I could… but I wont."

Meredith got closer to him, "Finn, listen to me… You and me, are over. We were over a long, long time ago. I have a husband and a daughter, who by the way if you ever go near, I will personally kill you."

"It would be worth it to see your little McDreamette bleed all over the ground."

Meredith had angry tears in her eyes as she made a move to attack him, but slipped on the wet wood from the earlier rain fall. She fell backwards, hitting every large step on the way down. Her eyes opened slightly and then closed again, everything going black.

"We're going to have to finish this later Meredith." Finn said before disappearing from sight.
