After Derek left Meredith's house he decided to called Mark.

"Hey" Derek said after Mark answered.

"Hey how did meeting the kids go?" Mark asked.

"Good, Kaia is nice and opened right up to me. Hayden was a little reluctant but Meredith talked to him and then he opened up." Derek informed him.

"So it went good then." Mark said.

"Yeah but I feel like Meredith is still mad at me." Said Derek

"Of course she is mad at you. You were the dumb ass who dumped her and left her to raise twins by herself."

"Okay but I asked if maybe we could go out." Derek told Mark.

"And she said??" Mark wanted to know.

"She said maybe."

"Don't push her, you don't want to push her away just after you learned about your kids." warned Mark.

"WHY are you giving me dating advice?"

"I'm not, but I just saying if you push her she might rebel and take your kids away again"

"Oh okay but one thing do you think you can get her on your service tomorrow? She opened up to you once and maybe she will do it again." Derek asked.

"Yeah whatever man. See you tomorrow."

"Bye" Derek said as he hung up the phone.

"Good night Kaia and thank you for being so nice to Derek I know he is trying." Said Meredith as she tucked her into bed.

"Is he going to move in with us? Or will we moving? And are you going to start dating him?" Kaia asked quickly.

"What is with all these questions? And get to bed." said Meredith with a smile.

"Okay good night and have fun tomorrow at work." Said Kaia.

"Okay and thanks. Make sure you guys get to school on time." Meredith warned.

"Hey Hayden can I talk to you" Meredith said as she entered his room.

"Yeah what's up?" Hayden asked.

"You know I love you and I'll never put you harm's way, right?" asked Meredith.

"I know but he thinks he can walk in to our lives and he should be part of it, just because he supplied part of our DNA." said Hayden.

"Okay I understand that you are angry but sleep on it. He just wants to try and get to know you." Meredith told him.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight and I love you" Meredith said as she was walking towards the door.

"I love you too" said Hayden. Meredith smiled as she shut the door to her son's room.

"Grey snap out of it" Bailey scolded as she saw Meredith's far off gaze.

"Sorry I was just thinking." Meredith said as an excuse.

"Well think on your own time."

"Will do." Meredith answered.

"Rounds people, let's move." Bailey warned.

"Grey present." Bailey said to Meredith.

"Samantha Jetty, 16 year old female, 3rd degree burns to her face and neck. Dr. Sloan will be performing a skin graft today." Meredith said proud she didn't mess it up.

"Grey you're on it." Said Bailey as she turned to leave.

"Why does she get all the good cases?" Alex whined.

"Dr. Sloan I'm on your service today." Meredith said when she found Mark at the nurses' station.

"Yeah I know I requested you" Mark said barely looking up from his paper work.

"Why?" Meredith asked.

"Because Derek wants me to talk to you." Mark said finally looking up.

"Ohh does he want to know more secrets about my personal life?" said Meredith with a frown.

"No, he just wants me to talk to you."

"Yeah right what does he really want?" Meredith asked suspiciously.

"He wants to go on a date with you." Mark finally admitted.

"I said maybe to him last night."

"Go prep the patient and maybe I'll let you scrub in." Mark said jokingly.

"Fine whatever but tell him my answer is yes I will go on a date with him only if he stops making me have special treatment." said Meredith as she walked away.

The surgery was a success they fixed the girl's face.

"Wow, that was amazing." Meredith said still on a surgery high.

"I know. I am god." Mark said with his signature grin.

"You're funny." Meredith giggled.

"Okay." said Meredith with a smile she thought will never disappear from her face.
