"Iz, I can't go to work today. Just tell Bailey I'm not feeling well. She'll understand. Hopefully." Meredith tells Izzie as she finishes retching.
"Mer, you have to go to work. If you don't go to work I'm making you get checked out." Izzie tells Meredith, persuasively.
"Fine" Meredith says, while rolling her eyes.
"Okay, come on. If we don't leave now we're going to be late!" Izzie yells from the kitchen while she's getting a bagel to take to go and Meredith finishes getting ready.
When Meredith sees a pregnant woman, Meredith realizes her period is late. She then starts to panic, not knowing if she should tell Derek or wait. She decides to wait.
"Crap, crap, crap! this cannot be happening!" Meredith mutters to herself.
"Nurse Olivia, have you seen Dr. Stevens?" Meredith asks.
"I saw her heading towards the on-call room but I'm not sure that's where she is. If she's not there, check the pit. I heard she's down there today." Nurse Olivia replies.
By the time she's done speaking Meredith has already walked away to go find Izzie.
She finally reaches the on-call room only to see that she is not there.
"Have you seen Dr. Stevens?" Meredith asks a random nurse.
"Uh, I believe she's in trauma room 3" the nurse replies.
As Meredith is walking towards the trauma room she bumps into someone. A male figure. Derek.
What do I do? I may be pregnant with his child. What if he hates me? What will I do then? Jesus I cannot keep something to myself to save my life.
"Are you okay? You seem a little off." Derek asks her, concerned.
"Uh, yeah. Just need to find Izzie!" Meredith replies.
"What's wrong" Derek says, while grabbing her arm before she can leave.
"I- I might be pregnant.." Meredith blurts out nervously.
"Pregnant?" Derek asks.
"Yes, but I'm not sure. I haven't taken a blood test yet." Meredith answers.
"If you are that's great! I've always wanted kids." Derek says.
"Okay, I guess I don't need Izzie to take my blood. Can you do it?" Meredith asks Derek.
"Of course" Derek answers.
Derek finds a sanitary syringe and takes Meredith's blood.
"Okay, there it is. Just- uh take it to the lab and page me when the results are in." Derek says.
"Will do. Thank you for doing this and being supportive." Meredith tells him.
"No problem. After all, if you are pregnant it's my baby. It's the least I can do. Hey, how about we go to dinner tonight. An hour and a half from now so the results won't be in yet." Derek asks.
"Right, okay. Do I need to dress fancy for this dinner?" Meredith asks.
"Dress however you want" Derek answers.
Then, Derek leaves the room.
What if she is pregnant? I have a wife and she has no idea! What the hell am I going to do?!
"Hey, are you ready to go?" Derek asks Meredith as she's walking up.
"Uh, yeah" Meredith answers.
"Good because there's a steak with your name on it and we, need to talk" Derek replies.
"Oh, okay" Meredith says.
What the hell does he need to talk to me about? Is he going to leave me to raise a baby alone if I really am pregnant?
Suddenly, a tall redheaded woman walks up and Derek tells Meredith "I am so sorry" Meredith just gives him a confused look.
"Addison, what are you doing here?" Derek asks.
"Well you would know if you had bothered to return any one of my phone calls. Wouldn't you? Hi, I'm Addison Shepherd." she says.
"Shepherd?" Meredith replies, still confused.
"And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband." Addison says.
