"Hey, what are you writing?"
Meredith jumped. She groaned as her pen rolled under the seat. She looked over at her mom who was in the driver's seat. Meredith sighed and made a big show about getting the pen back.
Miley grinned, "Sorry for startling you Midget. Just trying to make some conversation."
Meredith smiled back at Miley. It had been so quiet in the car she had forgotten where they were. "It's all right mom. I was just kind of zoned out." Noticing the coffee in the cup holders Meredith greedily grabbed a cup, then nearly spit out its contents.
Miley laughed, "Mer! We stopped at the gas station for that stuff at least a half hour ago! Of course it's going to be cold." Meredith shot evil eyes at Miley, which only made her chuckle some more.
"So," Miley said,"Gonna tell me what you're writing?"
"No." Meredith said. "It's not ready for critique yet."
"So, I'm gonna have to sit in silence some more until you do finish?" Miley asked.
"No, I guess I can talk to you. Or you could turn on the radio and I could go back to writing?"
"Whatever." Miley replied, rolling her eyes.
Meredith smiled. After sitting in silence again for only about thirty seconds Meredith looked back at Miley.
"What?" Miley asked, seeing Mer's glance from the corner of her eye.
"Momma, when are you gonna make the doctor's appointment?"
"After I call your dad and before I call mine." Miley answered.
"Can I call Ellie?" Mer asked.
Miley shook her head slightly to get the loose strands of hair out of her face. She signaled so she sould make another turn before answering Mer.
"Well midget, I don't know. Ellie will be a bit busy now that she's got her new job and reporters bothering her. Jackson told me before we left that they had to unhook the phone."
"Ok." Meredith said, though she didn't feel ok. She didn't feel like continuing the song she had been writing. She looked out her window. Leaning her head against the cool glass didn't make her feel better either, but it felt like the only thing she could do. All of a sudden she realized why she wasn't feeling good and she leaned her head back slightly, trying to prevent it.
Miley, seeing Meredith and knowing how she herself had felt, pulled over. Meredith staggered out and Miley went over to try and keep Meredith's long hair out of her face. When Mer was done Miley smiled, "Feel better?" she asked. Meredith smiled weakly and just climbed back into the truck.
Miley sighed, it was going to be a long trip.
