A/N: I do not own Grey's Anatomy. I only own the original characters I created
I do not know how to speak Italian, I just used google translate.

"Life begins now, right now, not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want" - Neale Donald Walsch

Seattle, Washington

Meredith stared after the hallway where Nick left. She couldn't believe that just after a few days of saying I love you to each other, he followed what she said, she had an inkling that he doesn't know her that well even after all the times they had talked about each other.

She then remembered what Nick had told her, "We all have unpacked issues. We all have trauma. And from what I understand, you have more than your fair share. I'm saying it's hard to leave, Meredith." She then knew who she'd call first.

"Hello, this is Paige Mclean how may I help you?"

"Paige it's me, I won't be able to leave Seattle since a few minutes ago I was appointed Interim Chief of Surgery, will you please tell Luca that I'll be contacting him within the next few minutes."

Milan, Italy

Luca received a call from Paige telling him that Liz will call him in a few minutes. With that call, it intrigued him about what has happened to her because the last time they had talked is when she told him that she'll be leaving Seattle for Minnesota. With that thought, his phone rang.

"Lizzie, is that you?"

"Yes, Luke, it's me."

"What happened to you? Last time we talked, we planned that I'll visit you in Minnesota."

"That was before Bailey quit and left me as the interim chief of surgery. Luke, I don't know what to do, I told Nick to leave me, and go back to Minnesota and he did, he just looked at me in disbelief and left."

"I'm sorry Lizzie, but are you sure you really want him in your life?"

Meredith paused for a second and thought about it, he made her feel happy and special again, but it is somehow similar to when he was with Andrew, and she felt that it was all fun and games with him, even though he met her children.

"I really don't know, Luke. He was like Andrew, with a bit more future."

"Liz, think of your relationship this way, do you feel like he's your equal or not, that can help determine what you should do."

"No, I don't feel that we're equal, sometimes yes, but most of the time no. It's like he puts me on a pedal stool because I am 'Meredith Grey'."

"Then there's your answer. Do you still want me to visit? I miss the kids."

Luca met the Grey-Shepherd children when Meredith left after Derek's death, she went to Italy before she stayed in San Diego. He also facetime and calls them whenever they had the time and asked the kids to not talk about him with their aunts and uncles.

"Yeah, sure, just tell me when you land. I love you."

"I love you too."

With that, they ended the call.

Michale Luca Grazioli sat back down on his chair and asked Leila Jacobs, his assistant to book him a flight to Seattle, Washington.

It's time for the world to know the real Meredith Elizabeth Grey.
