Paging Dr Shepherd *Derek shepherd*

𝟮𝟲. 𝗠𝗰𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 {𝗬𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆}

Grace sat in the kitchen. She felt confused. She was more confused than ever. She and derek had slept together. They had more than once and they spent the night together and it felt great but now it was back to normal and grace just felt more confused than ever

She knew that she had regrets from sleeping with him. He was married and she knew that despite it all that addison was a good person and after all that had happened she knew that she didn't want to be that woman again

She was confused by all that was going on. Grace looked as bella walked into the kitchen and looked to her and frowned

"Hey are you okay" Bella asked as she looked to grace

She knew that there was something going on with grace

"Yeah I'm fine"

"We're going to be late come on" Bella said as grace nodded. She knew how work was the last place that she wanted to be. She knew how she'd have to see Derek and she wasn't ready for that

Grace stood up as they walked out of the house. Bella looked to her and frowned. She wasn't stupid. She knew grace and knew when she was hiding something

Grace looked as her phone beeped as she saw a text off of Meredith and sighed

"I'll see you at work there's something I need to do" grace said as Bella nodded

Grace got to the care home and smiled as she saw Ellis and looked to her and smiled

"I'm exhausted. " ellis said as grace sat in the seat next to her

"Me, too. " grace said. She knew the derek drama and the life of being an intern was taking its toll on her

Grace looked as Meredith places the coffee and some food on the table in front of Ellis

"I was going at it all night in the on-call room. What's your excuse? " ellis said as grace and Meredith both held a look not knowing what to say

Meredith stands up and turns around to face Ellis shocked

" Mom." Meredith said

"I tell ya that man makes me purr like a kitten." Ellis said

"Mom!" Grace said as she covered her face with her hands

"When he isn't making me growl like a tiger. " Ellis said

"Stop! " Meredith said as Ellis chuckles to herself

"And my husband wonders why I'm not interested in him anymore. " ellis said as the two grey sisters held a look

"If he had any balls at all he would leave on his own.No. He plays stupid. He's waiting for me to kick him out. I come home with a hickey on my shoulder. A hickey! For god's sake like I'm a sex-crazed teenager. Which let's face it these days I am. And what does Thatcher do? Pretends he doesn't see it. " Ellis said as grace looked to Meredith in shock not believing her ears as Meredith just looks stunned at the information
