Thanks for such positive feedback everyone! I hope everyone enjoys this chapter, just as much! This is going to be slightly angst, but don't worry though it will work out. Also we are jumping ahead four months.
Derek finally sat down in his office chair and sighed. He had done back-to back surgeries all day He missed his family too. Ava was now four months old and finally sleeping, somewhat through the night. Meredith only worked one day a week and that was Thursday, the day Derek had off. They wanted nobody else but the two of them to raise their family. He sighed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." yelled Derek.
The annoyingly perky Rose entered the room.
"Hey Derek, I was wondering if you wanted to do dinner later?" asked Rose hopefully.
"Rose, you know I'm married, with a family that I love." Said Derek not interested in what she was saying.
"I know and that's what makes you, oh so more available in my mind." She said as she tried to be sexy, by sitting on his lap and stroking his cheek.
What they both didn't know was that Meredith had stood in the doorway, about to run in, tears already streaming down her face before she reached the room. Ava had gotten a fever that had spiked to 103.2. She was about to run in and tell Derek what was going on, when she witnessed the scene unfold.
"Derek how could you!" she yelled grabbing both of their attention, before running down the hall.
Meredith continued running down the hall, until she raced into a hard chest of a male doctor.
"Whoa. Mere where are you off to" asked Mark his smile disappearing, when how upset she was."Meredith what's wrong?" asked Mark worriedly.
"Ava... fever… Derek...cheating….Rose." she said as she sobbed hysterically.
Mark grabbed her and pulled her into a comforting hug.
"Mere relax, you're going to pass out, if you don't breath, the right way." said Mark as he sat her into a chair."Now I need you to explain to me what is going on, without crying.
"Ava has a fever of a hundred and three. So I checked her into pediatrics upstairs with Izzie to check on her. I was getting upset, because Ava's my baby. So I went looking for Derek, already upset and needing to tell him what's going on and found Rose on his lap, stroking his god damn cheek." She said as she burst into hysterics again.
"Alright Mere it's all going to be okay. You need to go be wit Ava, I'll take care of Derek." He said trying to comfort her.
Meredith shook her head and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Yes I should be with Ava. I'll go now. But Mark tell Derek I never want to speak to him again." said Meredith as she took off walking fast back up to Pediatrics.
Derek shoved Rose off of him as Meredith ran down the hall.
"Look what you have done." Derek screamed at her."We had a perfect healthy marriage going and now look what you did." So help me if you ever come near me again or near my family, there will be trouble." He said as he took off down the hall. He felt a tap on his shoulder as he ran. He turned to face Mark.
"We need to talk. Now." said Mark pulling by the arm off to the side.
"Mark I didn't cheat Rose came up to me and I told her I was married and loved my wife and family." said Derek.
"I believe you, but Meredith sure doesn't. She was trying t find you and tell you that Ava is sick and has a spiked fever and is now hospitalized.
"What?" said Derek all the color draining from his face.
"You need to go talk to Meredith upstairs and be with Ava." Mark said.
"I'm going, don't you worry." said Derek racing towards the elevator.
So? Some drama is unfolding fast. Review and another chapter will be up tonight!
