Okay so this is something I really wanted to write. I'm actually studying at the time. Or supposed to be. It's late, like near 11, but, I love MerDer fluff and I'm determined to have this. It will be a prologue, oneshot, and an epilogue. So….here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue
Derek had left Addison after prom. And she went back to New York, to be with Mark. He hadn't left because of prom, but because of everything that had happened in the past year. He still loved Meredith, it had been nearly 4 months since prom. They talked, were somewhat friends. But they didn't date…or sleep together. But they were civil.
Meredith knew her secret. But she didn't tell anyone, not even Cristina. She had found out over a month ago. Had it confirmed by her gynecologist. She missed Derek But she didn't want to tell him that. She was having his child. She hadn't had an ultrasound yet, not without him, she couldn't. His divorced was finalized a month ago.
It was a Thursday night in September. September 21 to be exact. Meredith had just gotten out of surgery with Derek. They stole glances throughout the entire surgery. She knew he was on call tonight, as was she. She slowly made her way to an oncall room after scrubbing out. She sighed as she plopped down on the bed. The door opened, streaming in light.
Derek needed to talk to her. He couldn't take it anymore. He missed her. They had looked at each other during surgery.
"Derek" She said, realizing who it was.
"Meredith," he shut the door and turned on the light, "I…I" He was stuck, what could he say.
"I need to tell you something." She said as she sat up.
"Me too."
"I need to go first." She demanded.
"No, I do." He walked over to her and she stood up. He took her hands in his. "I love you. And I need you. And I'm sorry, I never should have stayed with Addison when I loved you-"
She cut him off, "I'm pregnant."
He was flabbergasted. "4 months. I haven't…I haven't gotten an ultrasound yet, I couldn't…not without you."
He smiled. He was going to be a daddy. "I have a feeling that it's a boy." She gave a weak smile through silent tears. "You're mad." She stated.
"No." He shook his head, "I'm surprised and happy and excited."
"I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning. With Dr. Winston, from 4th floor. It's at 10 if you want to come." She smiled and walked out, leaving him time to register it all.
-----------------------------------------------
He was 15 minutes late. She was in the waiting room. He wasn't coming.
A nurse opened the door, "Dr. Grey." Meredith stood up and started walking to the door when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I had a patient."
"It's okay." She smiled, he had showed up.
They took Meredith's weight. She knew she had gained weight. Her usual 110 was up to 122. She cringed. She was going to get fat. Derek noticed this and smiled. The nurse led them back to a room.
A few minutes later Dr. Winston arrived and put the cold gel on Meredith's small baby bump. Derek hadn't know she had one. Just a small one, not too big. The doctor started up the ultrasound and then they heard it. The 'whoosh whoosh' of the heart monitor. It was their baby. His or her heart was beating. She laughed as she saw their baby on the screen. Neither could tell the sex, although as doctors they should have been able to. They didn't want to though. They just smiled. He couldn't take that grin of his face.
They left the office, picture in hand. Dr. Winston said that she couldn't tell the sex anyway, the baby needed to turn. Meredith looked at the photo again, seeing her baby's head and chest. Then she looked up and smiled at Derek. They were going to make it after all.

End of prologue.
Actually, after writing this, I really want it to continue. I'm actually going to take a break from my other story, 'McMarried'. I'm really having trouble writing it. So…I really want to continue, but I want your opinion first. So…please let me know. :D Thanks!
