Here I am... Again. Thank you for ypur sweet reviews! So, Ellis knows... What's next?

Chapter 11

"Mom... Please. Just say something." Meredith begged again, following Ellis towards her office. She hadn't seen it when she had sneaked into the hospital, but it was a mess. She knows that place. It was like… Her second home. Or maybe her first home because she has more memories of her childhood there than in her own house.

"I told you. I told you I was tired of everything. Of you acting like a kid!" She snapped once the door closed.

"Mom…" She breathed, frowning. "It's not what it looks like. It's not what you think." She tried to say. But her mom didn't believe her. She knew that it didn't matter what she said. When Ellis had a fond opinion on something nothing could change it. But it was not about her anymore. It was about Derek. She knew her mom. And the last think he needed was her ruining her career.

"Tell me what I think it looks like, Meredith." Ellis laughed harshly."You have a brain. You can do things without…-

"Are you saying that I was sleeping with Derek so he would help me when I started my internship?!" Meredith couldn't believe it. Her own mother… She was basically calling her a slut. Did she think she was making it through med school by screwing her teachers? She feel tears in her eyes. But she was not going to cry. Not in front of her.

"You tell me." Her mom looked at her, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh my god!" She gasped. She took a step towards her. That was it. All the lies, the comments… Over. She couldn't take it anymore. She knew that with her one night stands… But she never cared! Not to get to know her and now… She didn't even give her the credit… "This is it." She shook her head."We are done. You know nothing about me. Not enough to make assumptions! I like Derek. I didn't know he worked for you when I met him. " she said. "I was going to tell you. You told me to settle down. To stop and grow up and when I get a job, I pay rent without needing you, you call me a slut!" She laughed harshly.

Ellis didn't say anything. She was to proud. And maybe, because of that, she was just going to lose her daughter.

Meredith didn't need to hear anything else. She made her way towards the door, but before leaving, she needed to say one more thing."If you treat Derek any different…" She shook her head."I don't think you want your whole hospital to know why dad left."

Ellis gasped. She didn't recognise her own daughter there. She knew it was her own fault. She never thought they would be there. She knew she hadn't been a great mother. Or not a mother at all. But she did love Meredith and just wanted to protect her…

"Dr Weller told me she is taking a time off. They shoot her." He said nervously when he saw her walking towards him. He didn't want to hear it. He did't want to hear that he needed to find another job or that she was going to break up with him.

"Derek…" She tried to say, but he cut her off.

"And… Two more nurses were killed. Everyone was evacuated and I was… Asleep. " he felt her arms surround his body softly. He held onto her. "I don't wanna know."

"Derek…" She sighed.

"Meredith just…"

"Will you just listen to me?" She groaned, rolling her eyes as she caressed his cheek.

He didn't reply. She took that as a yes. A silent yes.

"Okay…" She breathed."We are okay. And you'll be okay. Nothing will change."

Derek couldn't believe it. He had spent the last hours thinking about hospital that would hire him and now nothing was gonna change. This was just too good to be true."okay, where is the but?"

Meredith frowned, sightly confused."there is no but. Look, I know how to talk to my mother. She didn't like it. But she'll be okay with it. She has to be. "she shrugged, kissing him.

But deep inside Meredith kew how wrong she was.

"What did you do?" He asked.

"Oh, honey, you don't wanna know…" She patted him on the back. Truly, he didn't. Not about her father. And she was not ready to talk about it. Not yet…

Derek sighed. Things were good. But he felt like he was missing some information. Although he got to be with Meredith, and that was all that mattered right now.

"I'll believe you…" He shrugged.

"And now… Are you okay? This must be so hard for you…" They sat down on one of the waiting room's chair, Meredith was holding his hand. She made it feel so much better.

"I don't know… I mean… We killed her and…-"

"Okay, first. "she cut him off. "You didn't kill her. You tried to save her life. You gave her a chance…" She whispered. She didn't know how hard loosing a patient was, not yet at least.

"I know I just- when I started here I thought I was going to save people. This week I've lost 8 patients out of nine." He groaned.

"You can't save everyone…" He cared. She liked that about him. She felt like right now she was falling for him even more…

"I know. In med-school they don't tell you you are going to lose more people than you save." He admitted. Meredith caressed his arm softly.

She hated to see him like that. She wanted to help him but she was so bad at this… The only thing that came to her mind was sex. Derek loved sex. Bit was it appropriate right now?

"In a scale from 0-10 how bad is it?" She asked.

"Hm… Seven, maybe eight." He sighed, shaking his head.

"Oh." She whispered, taking his head on her hands and pressing a soft, and long kiss on his lips."now?" She tried to smile.

Derek thought how cute she was with this attempt of making him smile. He was glad that she was caring and doing all she could. He knew he was not easy, but her being there was all that mattered.

"Six and a half." He kissed her again, making her giggle on his lips. "Six…" She kissed him harder, leaning even more, almost falling on his chair. "Hm, five." He muttered.

"What if we find a very nice on call room and see if we can turn that five into an one?" She smirked.

Derek's eyes sparkled like they did when he was excited.

"I love the way you think!" He jumped off his chair, taking her hand and guiding her towards his favourite on call room. Then, there, he kissed her again, hard, moving her hands all over her body. The connection they felt… How he felt with Meredith was something he had never ever felt before. It was perfect. And good different; great different.

"Uhm… Three and a half…" He moaned when she felt her soft lips kissing his neck.

The clothes left their bodies quickly. All he knew was that in order of seconds that three and a half became a zero and they were laying all sweaty and breathless in a post orgasmic bliss. She made the spinning stop. He hugged her close. He just wanted that.

Lexie Grey had a photographic memory. And the other day, she had been walking down the street with some friends and saw a girl she had seen before. Not recently. Not more than one time. Not in person. At least, till now. She had seen a picture. It was on her dad's office. She was nine and exploring around when an old piece of paper fell down. It was a photo from a newspaper. The article was not there but the picture was. At the age of nine she was too curious to let that go so she asked her mom about it. Her mom sighed and sat down. Then, she told her that was something their dad would tell them when he was ready. But he never did. And now that girl was more than just a picture. She was someone. And apparently she worked in a bookstore. And since she had such a great gift, she remembered exactly which one it was. So, there she was. Looking for answers.

When she walked in, her answers, weren't there.

"Excuse me… Do you know this girl?" It was a man the person who seemed to be working today, and he definitely wasn't the girl on the picture. That was for sure.

The girl looked at the pic for a few seconds."Damn. That's Meredith. So young." The boy laughed. "She is off today. ButI can pass her the message if you want to talk to her or..." He offered her.

Lexie laughed nervously. She felt like Meredith was about to change her life in so many levels."No… No. It's okay. I'll just… Come another day." She sighed."Thank you."

With that, she left, walking out to face the cold winter. Now, Lexie had more questions. And if her dad was not gonna answer then she would do it herself.

After literally one hour on the phone with his family, they finally hung up. He was going to be sorry when the bill arrived; but well, it was better talking to all the sisters at once than having to call one by one. That was when his bank account was going to be sorry and suffer.

He left his phone on the table, he still couldn't believe what had happened today, it seemed like a good day. He was scrubbing in a great surgery but then everything went downhill and he fell asleep and Gary shot Dr Weller. He was sad bout her, he couldn't believe that she was taking a break. It was for the best, she had said, but he was going to miss working with her.

But well, something like this changes everyone. He definitely was not the same. Not in a lot of ways. He felt like his relationship with Meredith was stronger, and he was happy about that. But going to that hospital again was going to be hard for him for a while. Every time he closed his eyes he was in that locker room with Gary pointing at Meredith. He had felt so helpless. If she had died today…

"I am glad you didn't die today." She whispered, handing her a glass of wine. She had read his mind…

"I am glad you didn't die today either." He echoed, raising their glasses before taking a long sip.

Okay, I know you must have a lot of questions but... Lexie is finally here and she'll play a big role in this story. For the ones who are waiting for slexie, still will have to wait a little but it will happen. I promise. And our favourite couple is falling in love a little more. But christmas break will be over soon... And Ellis is not gonna make it easy...
