Chapter 2:

"You met Dad in a bar?" Ellis asked, wrinkling her nose "that's so...."

"Cliché and kinda gross?" Lexie finished for her sister.

"Jeez, you met Mark on a play date. That isn't exactly romantic" Bailey said to Lexie smugly.

"You met Sofia the same way, loser" Lexie stuck her tongue out at her brother.

Yup. That's right. Sofia and Bailey were a 'thing'. They started going out about two years ago, and even though they grew up together, no one expected them to get together. No one. I guess a three year age gap is bigger when you're a kid.

"I met the four of you while I was screaming in pain and you were covered in crap. So I don't think it really matters how anyone meets anyone" Mer laughed at her kids lovingly, but they were being ridiculous.

"Actually, you met me at the hospital. Where I was crap-free and you weren't in pain" Zola bragged as she smirked at her three younger siblings.

"Jeez. Most kids cry over being adopted. But you just bask in the glory of Mom and Dad choosing you before any of us" Bailey grumbled.

"I love being adopted" Zola smirked.

Meredith sighed. Out of all of her kids, Zola and Bailey were the loudest and most out spoken. El wasn't quiet either, unlike Lexie who barely ever talked about anything that wasn't important, but she wasn't so loud. She was more serious and knowledgable.

"Let mom get back to the story!" Lexie sighed as she looked at her brother and sister.

"Thanks Lex" Meredith smiled and continued her story.

"Now where was I......"

*******************

Meredith's POV:

"For the last time, I'm not going on a date with you" I told Derek for the millionth time. God, you'd think he'd get the hint.

"Why not? I don't see why you can't just go to dinner with me" he protested.

"I'm an intern. The bottom of the surgical food chain. What do you think everyone will say if they find out I'm dating an attending!? They'll think I'm incompetent and only getting to scrub in because I'm with you!" I exclaimed as I dropped off some charts at the nurses station.

"People don't have to know that we go out!" He was hell bent on getting me to go out with him.

"Derek, no means no. Just leave it" I stomped off, completely and utterly done arguing with him.

I headed to the cafeteria, where I saw Christina casually sitting at a table. I decided to join her, but I stopped to buy some water and an apple first. This job was so demanding, I barely got time to eat or shower. I felt like I didn't even have time to breath or think unless it was about a patient.

100 hour weeks are the worst.

"Hi" I said as I sat next to Christina.

"God, can you believe that George bombed that appy so badly?" Christina snickered.

Dr. Burke chose George to do the solo surgery. And he screwed it up royally. Now, everyone calls him 007. Especially this new intern that got transferred to our group. He was a total jerk. Alex Karev, I think k he was called.

"I feel awful for him. It must suck to know that you screwed up that badly" I sigh, biting into my apple.

Out of all the interns, Christina was by far the most tolerable. She loved surgery, but she was pretty good to talk to when I needed her. Don't get me wrong, George and Izzy are nice, but I just like talking to Christina.

"Why do you feel bad? He's the one who messed it up" she exclaimed, as she bit into her sandwich.

"I don't-" I was cut off by Christina's pager.

"Crap 911 for one of Burkes" she got up and ran like her life depended on it. Before I could get up and leave too, a certain someone plopped down right where Christina was just sitting.

"Derek, just go" I sighed, as I began to stand up.

"Just let me talk!" He asked. But I didn't want to talk, besides I had patients to check in on.

I got up and went to the elevator, pressing the button for my floor.

"One date" he asked, joining me in the elevator.

I have no clue what I was thinking, but I grabbed onto him and I kissed him with everything I had in me.

A/N- sorry this ones so short. I'll make chapter three longer. I just thought right there was a good spot to end the chapter.
