This takes place at the beginning of season 2. After Meredith found out about Derek wife and is trying to move on from him. But something comes up might change her life forever.
I finish the dishes. I got off of work a few hours ago and Derek's going to be coming over to see the kids.
the deal we made was that he would see them every weekend but I took the kids to the toy store yesterday and bought them a lot of toys a week before their birthday because it's what they wanted and they want to show Derek all their new toys.
it's also very hard to give tell them they can't get a certain toy without telling them I've already bought them that toy for their birthday.
I also kept the recipes from everything I bought them for their birthday to make sure they don't get it again.
Nathan doesn't know thought, I've tried telling him but every time I bring up Derek's name he tells me he doesn't want to hear it and he does the same with the kids.
I already know it's going to be furious when Derek arrives but I've tried telling him and he won't hear it so there's nothing I can really do.
"Mommy, New Daddy soon?" Mallory comes up to me and asks.
"Yes, New Daddy is coming soon," I pick her up and kiss her cheek.
"Daddy be mad?" she asks.
"he might be a little bit mad but he won't be mad at you, he'll be mad at me and New Daddy," I tell her. she nods understandingly.
"Mallory, where's your brother?" Nathan asks as he walks into the room.
"Don't know, playing room," she says.
"Mallory I have no idea what you're saying. when are you going to learn how to speak in full sentences?" he says annoyed.
"she's almost two Nathan. he's in his room playing, that's what she said," I say.
"I wasn't asking you," he rolls his eyes.
"Why Daddy mean?" Mallory asks with tears in her eyes.
"he's not mad at you, he's mad at me," I kiss her head.
"Not my fwault," she presses her face into my shoulder.
"I know it's not your fault," I kiss her cheek multiple times. then there's a knock at the door.
"New Daddy!" Mallory says. she slips out of my arms and runs to the front door. I look at Nathan and he looks at Mallory and rolls his eyes.
"You should be happy your daughters happy," I say to him as I go help Mallory unlock the front door.
"Well apparently she's not mine anymore," he says. I roll my eyes and unlock the front door.
Mallory opens the door and sees it's Derek.
"New Daddy!" she runs to Derek and hugs his legs.
"Hi, Sweetheart," he smiles picking her up and lifting her into his arms. he kisses her cheek.
"Come inside," I say stepping aside. he walks in.
"Meredith, can I talk to you?" Nathan says.
I close the front door and lock it. I leave the room with Nathan.
"what is it?" I ask. "what the hell is he doing here?" he says, angry.
"I tried telling you he was coming but you wouldn't let me.. every time I brought up his name you told me to shut up!" I say.
"Why is he here anyways? I thought he was only coming on weekends?"
"The kids got a lot of new toys and they wanted to show him," I say.
"Why the hell would they want that?!" He raised his voice.
"I don't know, maybe because they're one and want to show they're new father what they got.. they're kids, it's what they do," I roll my eyes.
"This is all your fault, you and I were happy, we were the perfect couple until he showed up!"
"That's only because of the way you're acting, the kids are fine with him and I'm fine with him getting to know the kids.. let's just be happy he's not fighting for custody right now because if he did there would be a good chance he would get it and right now you have custody of them," I say.
"This is your fault and his, I'm the victim here," he says.
"Victim? There's no victim but the kids. When he left I was the victim but if he leaves the only victim is the kids, you're fine," I say.
"I don't want him here,"
"It's not about you, it's about the kids," I say.
"It's never about me, it's always about the kids," he rolls his eyes and sighs.
"Yeah no shit Sherlock," I say before leaving the room and going into the living room where the kids are with Derek.
