Understanding the Chance, a Grey's Anatomy Ficlet

Doctor Derek Shepherd watched the speech his wife, Doctor Meredith Grey, had done in his stead. He was astounded that would have done something like that for him. To do such a thing while he was sick.

Derek knew she didn’t have to do it and had been very vocal about the fact that he had gone back on his word.

Derek knew Meredith had every right to be angry, every reason to be angry, but this was a chance that both he and Doctor Calliope Torres couldn’t pass up.

Perhaps, Derek realized, she did understand the chance they wanted to take.
