MerHayes - fiction

Chapter 1 - New Guy

Meredith's POV:
It was a busy morning. The house was pure chaos, and the kids were being such a pain. Ellis kept crying because she couldn't find her other sock, and Bailey was running around the house for God knows what.

Despite all the chaos, I was in a spectacular mood. "Welcome back Dr. Grey!", I hear a familiar voice from behind me. "Thank you, Schmitt." I smile warmly as I walk down the hallway, nurses and residents greeting me left and right. As I go up to the nurses station, an intern offers me coffee. "Thank you, Doctor..?", "I-It's Dr. Clarke." The doctor replies shyly. Must be someone else's intern; I don't recognize her.

It's time for rounds. A group of interns and Dr. Levi Schmitt follow me into a patient's room. It's a little boy. "Schmitt, present." I say. "Oliver Turner, 9-" Schmitt gets cut off as someone walks in. "Alright, who's presenting?" A male voice speaks in an unfamiliar Irish accent. "Who are you?" I ask, a little startled. "Dr. Cormac Hayes, new chief of peds and you must be Dr. Grey," He replies. I slightly nod in response, "that still doesn't answer my question; who's presenting?" He looks around at the interns, gesturing for someone to start.

"Oliver Turner, 9-year-old male ...."

Cormac's POV:
Everyone began to disperse after finishing rounds, a few of them checking in on patients, and a few heading towards their assigned departments for the day. I look behind me and see a short, dirty-blonde woman in a white lab-coat. The famous Dr. Meredith Grey. Maybe I've been too much of an ass to her. I should apologize.. but that would be too awkward. Err, what should I say?.. "Welcome back, Dr. Grey." I manage to sputter out those 4 words after rethinking what to say about a thousand times.

Meredith's POV:
••• Cristina is typing..
I'm too focused on my screen to walk away from the door. Then I hear someone say, "Welcome back, Dr. Grey." . I whip my head around to see... that damn Irish doctor. "Oh, thank you Dr. Hayes."

Author's Note:
Hi readers! This is my first ever fanfiction & chapter. I'm not a very good writer, so I'm not sure if I'll continue this but please give me honest feedback on my writing. I know my fanfiction is probably inconsistent with the Grey's Anatomy series, but it's fiction so I'm making up a story lol. Hope you guys enjoy!
