Why did you leave me?
(A/N: I thought about this story for ages while I was writing the others. This is the what if story of if Meredith and Cristina get pregnant at the same time, Meredith to Derek and Cristina to Burke. It's a sad story about Meredith because Cristina has Burke but she has no one since Derek leaves to be with Addison.)
Chapter 1: Cruel fate
Meredith woke up with a smile. She had never felt so good in ages.
"Morning." Derek kissed her as he rose to make breakfast.
"Morning. How are you?" Meredith replied with her smile growing larger.
"Great save the fact I'm tired." Derek grinned back.
Meredith laughed. That's all she had done ever since she had met Derek, laugh.
After they had breakfast, they drove down to Seattle Grace Hospital where they both worked at.
Meredith kissed Derek goodbye and took the elevator down to the interns' room to meet her friends, Izzie, George, Cristina and Alex.
"Hey. Have good sex last night?" Alex asked the moment she walked through the door.
Meredith and the others glared at him, They tend to ignore Alex whenever they could.
"What kind of an idiot are you to be asking her all those sorts of questions?" One of other interns' flared at Alex. She had baby blue eyes and blonde hair.
Alex didn't reply as he sculled away.
"Thanks." Meredith smiled at the intern.
"No problem. I'm Rachel, Rachel Thomas." The intern smiled back.
"Meredith Grey." Meredith introduced herself.
Meredith, Rachel, Izzie, Cristina and George were all talking until Bailey came out with her usual Nazi look.
"Grey and Thomas, you're with Shepherd, O'Malley, you're on sutures, Yang and Stevens, and you're with Burke…" Bailey called out as she read down the list she had in her hands.
Meredith and Rachel rushed off to room 321 where Derek was in.
"Hi, I'm Dr Shepherd and I'll be your doctor today." Derek grinned as he saw Meredith and Rachel.
The three of them spent roughly five hours looking at everyone they had to check.
After they had done so, it was time for lunch.
"Spending the whole day with you two was awesome!" Rachel smiled as the three of them got their lunch and walked over to sit with their friends.
"You should asked Bailey to work with us, then." Derek grinned as the three of them sat down.
"Have a nice day?" Izzie raised and eyebrow at the trio.
"You could say that." Meredith smiled back as she bit into a bread roll.
After lunch, it was back to work and the trio got through it in record time, attacking the large number of patients in another three hours.
"The smoothest day anyone could have and we've just gone through our entire list of patients!" Rachel whistled with made both Meredith and Derek grin.
"We'd better head off." Meredith smiled as she kissed Rachel goodnight.
As they neared the door with smiled on both their faces, they saw a woman standing there with a fur coat.
"Meredith, I am so sorry." Derek whispered sadly. "Addison. What are you doing here?"
"Well you'd know if you'd bothered to return any one of my phone calls." The woman, Addison replied. "Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd."
"Shepherd?" Meredith whispered with dread.
"And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband." Addison smiled wide.
Meredith turned to Derek and back to Addison. She turned to the door and ran.
"Meredith…" Derek watched her go as Meredith put a hand on her mouth and sobbed hard as she ran to a place far away from him.
Rachel, who was watching, ran after her with her umbrella and caught up with her next to her car.
"He's got a wife, Rach. Derek's got a wife." Meredith sobbed uncontrollably as Rachel placed her arms around her shoulders.
"Shhh. This is what I'm going to do. I'll drive you to Joe's but first, I'm going to give the keys to Izzie, ok?" Rachel smiled softly. She knew what Meredith needed right now was a friend, not sympathy.
"Ok." Meredith agreed.
Rachel took Meredith to her BMW and made her stay inside.
Rachel then raced back to the hospital to tell Izzie about it but not before shooting Derek a glare on her way there.
"Izzie, here's the keys to Meredith's car." Rachel tossed the keys over to Izzie.
"What's happened?" George asked with concern.
"Nothing you won't find out sooner or later. Meet us at Joe's." Rachel replied. She didn't want to give away the recent disaster.
She quickly hurried back to her car where Meredith was waiting obediently in but with tears spilling out in colossal amounts.
"Izzie and George are going to Joe's, ok." Rachel smiled softly as she started up her car and drove to Joe's bar.
There, they found Cristina drinking whisky.
"Something happen?" Cristina asked with a raised eyebrow.
Rachel simply nodded as she guided the heartbroken Meredith to a chair.
"Want anything, Mer?" Joe asked with concern clearly showing.
"Water." Meredith replied through her tears.
Joe, Cristina and Rachel found it odd but said nothing.
After a while of silence and Izzie and George coming in, Meredith finally spoke.
"Let's see who's life sucks the most. I have to say my life sucks the most." Meredith dared with sniffles.
"You don't wanna try me." Cristina warned softly, taking another swing of her whisky.
"I wanna play with you. I'll even go first. Derek is married, as in pig-headed adulterous liar married." Meredith replied bitterly.
At that, George spat out his beer.
"George, you have beer coming out of your nose." Cristina poined out.
"What do you have to say about that?" Meredith replied with a sideways look.
"I'm pregnant. I win." Cristina replied taking another swing.
Meredith snorted softly.
"In addition to Derek being married, I am also pregnant with his kid." Meredith replied with a sob.
That struck all of her friends, even Cristina, that this was the worst day of Meredith Elizabeth Grey's life.
"That's why I'm sticking to water and all of the non-alcoholic shit! I'm fucking preganant with his kid and that's all I have left of him that is mine to keep." Meredith laughed loudly as she walked out the door, followed by Rachel.
Meredith was about to get into her car and drive off when Rachel stopped her.
"He's my McDreamy, Rach. He was the one I loved and he has a wife. She looks nice. I wonder why he left her?" Meredith laughed sadly at the wheel.
"I'm sure Derek loves you too, Mer. You can't give up that hope." Rachel pleaded softly.
"He could have told me first. I woudn't be doing this if he had told me earlier. God, I'm an emotional wreck." Meredith laughed cynically.
"When did you find out you were pregnant, Mer?" Rachel asked as she hopped inside the passenger's seat.
"Today. The condom must have split or something. We were practically a condom ad." Meredith sobbed with a sad smile.
They sat in car in pure silence.
"We'll go home together, eh? I've got an overnight bag in my car and I'll give the keys to Izzie again." Rachel suggested lightly.
Meredith nodded as the two of them went to explain the plan to Izzie, Cristina and George.
"I'll drive. I'm sober." George suggested as he took the keys from Meredith.
"That'd be great, George." Rachel smiled as the five friends walked to the two cars.
Rachel drove in silence to Meredith's car or moreover, the house Meredith's mom owned but since she had Alzheimer's, Meredith owned it.
Izzie, Cristina and Rachel helped Meredith get into her bed.
"It's cruel that Mer and I have to be pregnant at the same time." Cristina commented lightly as the four of them sat on the couch.
"It's cruel that on the same day, she found out the father of her kid is actually married." George sighed deeply.
"Poor Meredith." Rachel frowned as she walked to one of the 10 spare bedrooms in Meredith's house.
"Goodnight." Izzie smiled as she turned to go into her room.
