I've Loved and I've Lost

Chapter 57

Danica POV

I look up from my file to see Mark hugging a short brunette. When they pull away I catch a small glimpse of her face. "Amelia?" When she turns around a smile rushes to my face as I run over and engulf her in a hug.

"Dani! I've missed you," She smiles as she pulls away. "How have you been?"

"As great as one can be after the death of her husband, the loss of a child and getting shot in the abdomen," I joke as her smile falters but reappears as I let out a laugh. "What are doing in Seattle?" 

"Derek's an ass who won't return my calls. Derek's an ass who got shot and won't return my calls so I got him a present, or a bribe, or a peace offering. Whatever, I brought him that," She gestures over a to a man standing with his hands in his pockets.

"You brought him Brett Favre?" Mark asks. I stifle a laugh before regaining my composure. 

"No. I brought him a brain tumor," 

"Amelia Bedelia, you are one weird nut," I chuckle as I pick up my chart. After Mark pages Derek a couple times we hear him walk up to use with Cristina and Meredith at his sides. 

"Oh come one, Amy?" 

"Well, if you'd pick up the damn phone, I wouldn't have to stalk you," Amelia states honestly, the slightest bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"Yeah, why didn't you call your sister?" Mark asks, backing her up.

"Sister?" Meredith asks confused. 

"Meredith, Cristina, this is Amy," Derek introduces her to the two women.

"Amelia. He's the only one who gets to call me Amy. Um, nice to finally meet you," She says shaking Meredith's hand.

"Likewise,"

"Amy--Amelia is also a neurosurgeon," Mark explains.

"Another one? You Shepherds grow them like weeds," Cristina teases, sarcasm dripping from her lips. 

"Who's this? Your husband?" Derek asks, referring to the man with Amelia.

"Derek this is Tom," 

"Todd," He corrects.

"Oh, best of luck to both of you," Derek scoffs. 

"No, we met on the plane. He has a probable pituitary tumor," Amelia explains.

"Did she say you have spongy hands?" Derek asks Todd. 

"Yeah," He chuckles. 

Derek mock chuckles before continuing. "Were your hands on her breasts at that time?" 

"Yeah,"

"Ha!" I laugh before slapping a hand over my mouth, realizing I said that out loud. 

"So this was a mile-high hook up?" 

"That doesn't change the fact that he's a very sick man," 

"If he has symptoms, it could be a tumor," Meredith interjects.

"Not just could, it-it is," 

"Alright. Well this fine lady will find you a surgeon," Derek says simply. I roll my eyes.

"Quit being immature Derek. I gotta go. Great seeing you Amelia Bedelia," I chuckle before running off. 

"When are you gonna stop calling me that?" She yells.

"Never!" I chuckle before turning a corner. I run down to the ER, attempting to find Bailey. My pager sounds and I quickly look down at it to see the room she paged me to. I run down another hallway, passing Lexie as I do. "Hey Bailey,"
