Trapped in fear as history repeats

"Derek? Are you ready to go home?" Meredith asked while yawning

"I am" He said before putting his arm around Meredith's thin waist "I'm gonna drive home"

Meredith nodded and let her head rest on his chest as they were waiting for the elevator

They walked outside the hospital, making the short walk to their black SUV. They started their internship a few months ago, everything went so well. They rent a house with Mark and Addi who also did their internship.

"Mom asked if we would come over tomorrow, we all have the day off" Derek said while grabbing her hand and squeezing it

"Sounds great! It's been a while since we saw mom and dad and I missed her food" Meredith said with a chuckle

"We have so many stories to tell them" Derek laughed

"Derek?"

"What's wrong Mer?"

"I.. I think.. Maybe I wanna do general"

"But.. You're scared because that's Ellis' specialty?"

"Hmm" She nodded

"Mer.. She passed away 3 years ago.. You're not a Grey. You're a Shepherd. No one knows you're related to her"

"Hmm" She nodded again

"I love you, Mer! And you're gonna be a great general surgeon!"

"You're still up for neuro?"

"Yeah, I don't think that will ever change. Amy wants to do neuro too"

She gave him a smile before squeezing his hand

"Don't be so insecure, Bailey was amazed by your knowledge"

...

"Mom? Dad? We're home! Derek yelled when the four of them walked into their parents house

"We're in the living room guys" Christopher yelled back before Carolyn made her way out of the kitchen into the hallway to greet them.

"Your sisters are already here, I'm gonna bring you something to drink soon" She said before welcoming the four of them.

Mark and Addison went in first, holding hands. They sat on the couch with Amy. Amelia and Addi got pretty close over the years so they started talking immediately while Mark started talking with his father and other sisters. Derek and Merdith followed short after. They said hello and sat on the other side of the large couch holding hands before Carolyn walked in with some snacks and drinks

"Mom, do I need to help you?" Meredith asked

"No, dear! I've got everything under control"

They all enjoyed their afternoon until Nancy told them she and her husband expected a baby in 6 months, Carolyn and Christopher went totally crazy, their daughter Kathleen already had 2 kids but that didn't stop them from being happy about it

She gave her mother a baby shirt #3 grandchild

...

"Little Shepherd, big Shepherd, Sloan and Montgomery, you're coming with me" Bailey demanded before they got into the back of the ambulance. There was a ferryboat crash, they needed to help on the field

Derek noticed Meredith was a little nervous, they had no idea of what was waiting for them out there. The moment they got out of the ambulance the doctors were shocked by seeing all the smoke, all the injured people laying everywhere. All the medical people, firefighters and everything else overwhelmed them.
