Isabella ( A MerDer Fanfic)

Chapter 5

MEREDITH'S P.O.V

"Alright Mr. Bread. Are you ready to go," I ask the patient 

"Yes I am. Please don't kill me guys."

"Don't worry. You are in extremely good hands Mr. Bread"

 Why is Derek staring at me?

IN THE SCRUB ROOM

"Meredith,"Derek says. I don't reply back.

"Meredith. Talk to me"

"About what?!? How you left me and your daughter for a stupid job and then come back." Opps. I said daughter. This is not how I wanted him to find out. 

"Daughter?"

When I walk into the O.R., Derek runs after me as I get my hands dried and gloved. I then walk to my patient as he's getting loopy. "Please count backwards from 10 for me please Mr. Bread."

"Alright Doc. 10,9,8,7," He's knocked.

"Scalpel please Boki."

As I complete my first incision, I spot Derek still staring at me.

"Dr.Shepherd. Is the tumor going to magically pop out of Mr.Bread's brain or are you going to take it out."

"Oh Right," he says as he walks back into reality.

"Scalpel"

I continue my procedure.

The procedure wen't well.

As Derek is scrubbing out, he says to me," Meredith. Can we please talk?"  

"Were talking right now," every single time I tell him this, it just pisses him off. 

" I mean in private"

I stopped to think about it for a minute.

"Fine. But first, Lets go update the patient, Dr. Shepherd."

"The surgery was a success. Dr.Shepherd and I were able to remove both tumors with no complications. Mr.Bread is in stable condition and is up in the I.C.U. right now. A nurse can take you up Mrs.Bread."

"Thank you,. Thank you very much!"

Derek drags me into yet, another on-call room as we are walking down the hall.

"Meredith"

"Derek. Is this your new thing-dragging me into on-call rooms?"

"Meredith. What were you talking about daughter"

I look at my feet.

"Meredith," he says as he lifts up my chin.

"Her name is Isabella and she's 5 years old."

"So you had her once I left."

I said nothing.

"Let's go," I said as he followed me like he was a lost puppy.

I led him to my car.

"We're going on a little trip," I tell him. He just nodded his head and fastened his seat belt.

The ride was quite until Derek spoke up.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

I said nothing.

"Meredith"

"You left and I didn't want to talk to you"

"You could have called."

I changed the subject. "Let's go pick up Bella."

I have no idea how to explain this to Bella. 

"Hey Bella. How was your first day of school," I questioned her as she walked slowly with a disapointed look on her face to give me a hug. 

" It was alright"

" Alright? What's wrong Bell"

"It's just that my teacher invited all the girls in my class to a father-daughter dance but I have no-one to go with."

"I think I have someone in mind. Let's go sit on this bench," I say as I guide Derek and Bella to a bench.

"So Bella. You know how you have been wondering all these years where your daddy is."

"Yeah"

"We'll, he's the guy that's sitting right next you."

She looks up to him and says," so you are my daddy."

Derek answers back to her," Yes I am."

"Where have you been daddy?"

"I've been away sweetie, away. But now i'm here. And i'm not going anywhere."

She layed her head on his shoulder. That is not the expression that I was expecting. 

"Don't leaved me daddy," she says as Derek attempts to get up.

"Oh don't worry honey. I'm not going anywhere, he replies back to Bella as he sits back down.

This is melting my heart.
