I know this is only a short chapter, but I didnt know what else to write. I have an idea for the next chapter.

I also need ideas for Ellis and what you guys want her to do? Please leave any ideas in the reviews.

Bailey

Bailey had spent the night thinking about what he had heard his parents talking about last night. He didn't want to talk to them about it and he knew if he spoke to Ellis she would speak to them. So, he went to Zola's office to speak to her

'Zola' Bailey said walking into the office

'Bailey'

'I need to speak to you about what I heard last night' Bailey said sitting down, 'Mom and dad were talking about the patient that hit you yesterday. Thatcher Grey, it's mom's dad. She was saying that he is not getting to know us'

'Why not?'

'I don't know properly, but I didn't want to speak to them about it'

'I'll ask them' Zola said, 'You need to get to rounds anyway'

Bailey left the office and went to the nurse's station to get the chart of the patient he had been put on. He went to check on his patient before going to find his resident to be given a new case. Sofia just sent him down to the clinic to do sutures and consults on patients that came in.

Zola

After her conversation with Bailey, she went to find her mom.

'Mom' Zola said as her mom walked out the OR

'Zola, I was just coming to find you'

'Can I talk to you?'

'Sure'

'Bailey came to me earlier to talk about what he heard last night. He overheard you and dad talking about the patient that hit me yesterday. Thatcher Grey, he said that he is your father and that you won't let us know him'

'It doesn't matter Zola' Meredith said trying to avoid it

'Mom, he is my grandfather. He is our grandfather, what if we want to know him'

'Zola I'm not talking about this anymore' Meredith said starting to walk off

'Mom! Why not?'

'Fine. Thatcher Grey is my father, but he was a terrible father. My mother had an affair and when my dad found out he didn't try to fight for us. He was never a proper father to me, and he won't be a good grandfather. He left when I was five, then when I was an intern he came back with a new family. His new wife died, he slapped me and blamed me, he became an alcoholic'

'Oh mom, I'm sorry' Zola said

'Just forget about it, anyway I have a solo surgery and want to know if you want it'

'Yeah, I'll take it'

'It's wrote on the OR board'

'Thanks' Zola said before her mother walked away

Derek

Derek knocked of the chiefs and walked into the office to see Miranda with her head in her hands

'Chief, you okay?' Derek asked

'Not really no'

'What's up?'

'I just had to make a call to switch off a life support machine, the patient's sister said to. I was informed that her husband turned up and wanted to see his wife. But she had gone, the husband wanted to see me but I couldn't face it'

'Miranda, I know what that is like. It's hard I know but it's part of the job and that's a call that you will have to make again'

'No, I don't' Miranda said looking up at him

'What do you mean?'

'I'm thinking of resigning, I can't do this anymore. I have spent years at this hospital, I missed so many parts of Tuck's life and now I am a grandmother and I don't spend any time with my family. I am going to resign as chief of surgery'

'Who's going to replace you?'

'I don't know yet, I was going to ask the attendings individually who they recommend'

'Meredith. What about Meredith? I mean, it has always been her dream of being the chief of surgery. It's something her mother never had chance to do, she would make an excellent chief'

'Does she want it right now?'

'I suppose so, she has been head of general since you became chief. She needs something new to challenge her'

'And you're happy with your wife being your boss?' Miranda asked

'I'm fine with it' Derek said

'I'll talk to her about it later and see what she thinks of it'

'Thanks chief'

Ellis

Ellis didn't know what she wanted to do with her life now that she wasn't at med school and her friends were still over there. She didn't have anyone; all her family were doctors and she was nothing. She just wanted a job, and someone to love. She needed a person.

She was sat at home wondering what to do, she had eaten a full box of cereal, watched movies, cleaned her room.

Meredith

Meredith walked out the attendings lounge after finishing her dinner when her pager went off. She was paged to the chiefs office.

'Chief, you paged' Meredith said walking in

'Sit down'

'What have I done?'

'Nothing. I want to talk to you about being chief'

'What?'

'I am resigning as chief, I want to spend more time with my family. Derek actually recommended you, so I spoke to the other attendings and they support you being chief. I would need to confirm with the board, but what do you think?'

'I would love to be chief' Meredith said, 'Thanks Chief'
