Sarah's eyes fluttered open as her anesthesia slowly wore off. Meredith sat at the edge of her bed and smiled. "Welcome back, hunny!"
"What happened?"
"You got in an accident. They had a hard time fixing you at first but you're gonna be okay…"
Sarah saw that her mother had tears in her eyes. "Mommy, why are you crying?"
Meredith quickly wiped away the tears the stained her cheeks. "Cause mommy almost lost you…" She slowly inched herself up to her daughter and hugged her. She held on tight just in case her daughter only had one last breathe. "Sarah, baby, mommy loves you. You know that right? No matter what happens…Mommy's always gonna love you!"
Sarah smiled then stroked her mom's hair. "I know…I love you too!"
Alex stared out his door as he watched the cops question his dad. He knew his dad was going to be arrested. He caused the accident! They found beer in his car! He sighed then rubbed his temples. Suddenly, Olivia came in. "Alex? Meredith wanted me to tell you that Sarah is well."
Alex let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God!"
Olivia grinned but before she could leave Alex yelled, "What about Derek?!"
"He's fine too, Alex. You're all very lucky."
Alex smiled then settled back into his bed. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. Finally, he felt relieved!
About 6 months passed after the accident. Alex, Sarah, and Derek all got out of the hospital, and were recovering nicely. Alex's father ended up in jail, and surprisingly, Alex didn't mind. It was what his father deserved. He even testified against him! But that wasn't the only thing Alex was happy about; he and Meredith also started to date. He loved the fact that he could call Meredith his girlfriend! He also loved that him and Derek were on good terms. Derek wound up dumping Karen and started spending more time with Sarah, so the two saw each other all the time. Finally, everything was starting to make sense…
Alex placed his arms around Meredith's hips as she washed the dishes. She giggled then playfully slapped him with a dishtowel. "STOP! You're making me laugh!"
Alex smiled as he nibbled on her neck. Suddenly, Sarah came running down the stairs. "MOM! WHERE ARE MY SILVER EARINGS?!"
Meredith smiled then pulled a pair of silver, sparkly earrings out of her purse. "You put them in there the other day…"
Sarah snatched the earrings then started to jump up and down. "I CAN'T BELIEVE DAD IS TAKING ME TO LA!"
Meredith laughed. She was SO glad Derek and Sarah were spending time together. And taking her to his LA convention was the PERFECT opportunity! Sarah ran up and hugged her mom. "WE ARE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN!"
Meredith rubbed her daughter's back. "I bet!"
Suddenly, Meredith's phone started to vibrate. She quickly picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey, Mer, it's Izzie! Are we still on for dinner tomorrow night?"
"Yep!"
"Good, okay I just wanted to check in. How's Sarah?"
"So excited!"
Izzie laughed. "That's great, okay call me later! Bye doll!"
"Bye!"
Meredith quickly shut her phone off and smiled. She and Izzie had grown closer than ever since the accident and she really enjoyed her company! She ended up startling herself when the doorbell rang. She quickly opened her large, brown door. "Hey Derek!"
He quickly kissed her on the cheek. "Hey Mer! Where's that little…"
Sarah came running out, her suitcase trailing behind her. "I'M RIGHT HERE DAD!"
Derek smiled as he lifted her up and spun her around. "Are you excited munchkin?"
"YOU BET!"
"Good, well we better hurry we're gonna miss our flight!"
Sarah quickly untangled herself from Derek's arms then kissed her mom and Alex goodbye. "SEE YOU IN A WEEK!"
Alex leaned against the counter. "You two have fun!"
Derek scooped Sarah's suitcase up. "Oh we will!"
Meredith waved as her daughter and Derek disappeared into the hot, summer day. She exhaled deeply as the door slammed shut. "Well, we're alone!"
Alex gave a devilish smile then scooped Meredith up. "Well you know what that means!"
Meredith giggled then kissed him. She had grown to love him. Even though the last year had been rough on them, everything came full circle. Everything seemed in place. She did love Alex, and she knew that he loved her.
Alex quickly spun her around and carried her up the stairs. "You've been a very bad girl Miss Grey…"
Meredith laughed, which made Alex smile. He loved her laugh! His smile grew as he thought about the 3 K. square cut ring that sat in the center of her bed with a pillow resting neatly underneath it…
