AN: this is from were Meredith and Mark have just been told to leave.


"I'm waiting! Well if one of you aren't going to explain … Meredith. Mark. My office, NOW!!…"
The 2 siblings didn't wait around to hear the rest of the conversation, instead they decide to follow the order.

"I can't believe him! Treating us like we're still kids!" Mark huffed "I mean what did we do wrong?"

"Seriously? You mean aside from sleeping with your best friends wife?" Meredith muttered "here let me have a look at your face"

She stopped him walking and stood in front of her taller and older brother to examine to cut on the side of his face that was bleeding.

"I think it might need some stitches, come on we'll grab some supplies and I'll do it in dad's office for you"

"Mere I love you, you're my little sis, but you're an intern, and there is no way an intern is gonna put stitches in my face!" Mark explained as he walked past Meredith to grab the supplies that they would need then carried on walking to the office .

"So Mr. I'm-the-best-plastic-surgeon-or-so-I-think who's going to put them in? You?"

"Yeah and I might even let you hold the mirror!"

At this they reached the office and let themselves in.

"Go and grab the mirror out of his top draw, I'm sure he still keeps it there!" Mark ordered in his ' I'm the big brother" voice.

Meredith walked around the desk and sat on the chair, as she opened the draw she notice a picture on the desk, she reached over and picked it up, a small smile can to her face.

"What are you smiling at?"

She held the photo frame out for him to look at.

"Do you remember that day? You were … well I was nine, so Lex was 5, so you were only 4." Mark asked looking over the picture of him and Alex cuddling up on either side on Richard and Meredith sat on the chief's lap with a blanket over them all.

"I remember bits, like you moaning you were board, and dad complaining that he wasn't so ill that he needed to miss his surgeries! I don't remember mom there tho…" she trailed off.

"Well chicken pox doesn't lead to surgery does it" was the sharp reply "so are you going to get the mirror or do I have to do everything myself"

Meredith grabbed the mirror and took it over to Mark.

"Are you sure you don't want me to do it?" but there was no reply, as he just started to stitch his face.

"Can I ask you some thing?" Meredith asked in a timid voice.

"Of course, I'm your big, brave and very handsome brother and you can ask me anything!"

"Why isn't your surname Grey? and Why's Alex's Karev?"

" Because neither of us want to anything to do with that bastard of a biological father, so I took mom's maiden name. An Alex well Alex Karev Grey never sounded right so he decided to drop the Grey!" he never liked talking about his father as he was the one who had to take care of his brother and sister while their mom was to busy at the hospital.

"Oh…."

But before either could say any more on the subject the door was thrown open.


AN2: In my world Alex is older, and took a year out to explore a career in wrestling but after the pressure from Ellis he went to med school at the same time as Meredith.

I hope that this chapter has explained why they all have different names I wasn't sure whether to add it now or later.

Please R&R! Thanks Amy xx
