Author's Note: Here is my new story. Please enjoy. Set five years into the future. Derek went back to Manhattan with Addison right away. Cristina and Burke moved to San Francisco when Burke was offered Chief of Staff.
Chief Resident, Meredith Grey sat at the nurse's station finishing up a chart as Izzywalked by.
"Hey Mer."
"Hey."
"What are you up to?"
"Finishing charts. Aren't you supposed to be up in OB?"
"Yeah. But Bailey's up there."
"Oh I see."
"I'd never think that the Nazi would end up being chief."
"Shocking to me too."
"Have you heard from Cristina?"
"Nope."
The two women smiled as Izzy continued to munch on her brownie. George can running up to them.
"MEREDITH!"
Izzy raised her eyebrows, "You don't say hi to me?"
Meredith shook her head and looked at George, "Aren't you supposed to be in the ER?"
"I was. Until…"
"Until what George?"
"Madison is down there."
"What!"
Meredith jumped up and ran down the stairs, two steps at a time.
When she reached the ER, Meredith searched desperately for Madison. After what seemed like hours of searching, she found her.
"MOMMY!" Madison jumped in Meredith's arms.
"What are you doing here sweetie?"
"I couldn't breathe at school so I told the teacher and she took me here."
"Oh honey, it's just your asthma. Are you okay?"
"I'm happy you're here Mommy."
"I love you Madison so be careful."
"I love you too Mommy."
Meredith carried her daughter up the stairs, she felt her superhero strength take over as she kissed her daughter. When Meredith arrived at the nurses' station, she nearly collapsed. He was back. Derek.
The worst part was that he didn't know that Madison was his daughter.
Yes? No? Please let me know.
--it was you that I was thinking of.
