So I'm new to this and it's a short chapter because I want to see how it's received. I really hope you like it! PS Slexie eventually comes in and stay c:
"I think I like this rules thing."She said, putting on her coat.
"Me too." He said, doing the same.
Neither noticed the woman staring at them in the background until they turned. She sauntered over.
Meredith felt like it was a blur, only noting the last thing Addison said. "And you must be the woman that's been screwing my husband."
Her flashback went forward slightly to the embarrassing speech she had given him, confessing how much she loved him. How she had sat at Joe's that night, waiting for him. But he chose. And he didn't choose her.
Chapter 1:
"Meredith, you have to get up." Cristina pulled a pillow off Meredith's face.
"No." Meredith mumbled. Then, a rush of nausea came over her and she sprinted out of bed into the bathroom where she barely made it before hurling.
"Mer?" Cristina asked, worried.
"Oh god oh god oh god." Meredith rambled. "I'm late."
"Captain obvious." Cristina replied, confused. "Your shift started 30 minutes ago."
"Cristina! I'm late. As in mother nature kind of late, which has never happened." Meredith replied, exasperated.
Cristina's face sank as the realization set in. "Oh no, Mer. Okay you know what, come to the hospital and I'll rush a blood test."
"You're my person." Meredith answered thankfully.
"Don't get all sappy on me." Cristina replied, smiling as she threw clean clothes at Meredith.
Four hours later, Meredith and Cristina were hiding in the basement staring at the results of the blood test for Jane Doe. Positive was the only word that stood out on the page.
"Cristina, what am I going to do? I'm all dark and twisty. There's no way I can raise a child. And there's no way I'm telling him. He chose his wife." Meredith wailed.
"Meredith. Keep it together, okay? Just keep it together. Are you going to keep it?" Cristina asked.
Meredith was silent for a few minutes. "I think I am."
"Okay. Well, we'll have to get you out of Seattle, then." Cristina said simply.
Meredith nodded. "Webber owes me. I'm going to talk to him. I was accepted into other programs, so I think I can transfer. Cristina, you'll be my person though, right?"
Cristina nodded. "We'll talk on the phone about all our men troubles because they have stupid boy penises."
Meredith laughed. "And now I'm knocked up by a guy who is freaking married to someone else."
The pair heard noises. "Go talk to the Chief, Mer. I'll cover for you."
After a short discussion with Dr. Webber, Meredith was ready to transfer. She had called the nursing home and arranged appropriate care for her mother. She'd finish her internship and residency at The Brigham Women's Hospital. She would leave in just 15 hours.
"So, I'm in charge of the house?" Cristina asked.
"If you don't mind, that'd be amazing. Izzie, George, and Alex should just hand their rent checks to you." Meredith replied, throwing her favorite Dartmouth t-shirt into her suitcase.
"I'm gonna miss you." Cristina finally said.
"I'll miss you too." Meredith said, pulling Cristina into a hug before Cristina could reject.
At the airport, Meredith and Cristina were saying their final goodbyes.
"I still cannot believe you snuck out of your own house or that you're going across the country." Cristina muttered.
"I am getting away from McDreamy and his stupid boy penis." Meredith replied, taking a sip of her water as Cristina downed a shot of tequila. "And I can't even drink now. I mean, I used to dance on table tops and now I'm going to be flat out sober."
Just then, the boarding call for Meredith's flight came over the speaker. Meredith grabbed her suitcase and left, waving bye to Cristina.
"MEREDITH?" Cristina heard as she walked into Meredith's house.
Izzie and George came charging down the stairs only to see Cristina.
"Bambi!" Cristina said.
"Where is Meredith?" Izzie demanded.
Cristina shrugged, knowing that she had to hide Meredith's secret. Seattle Grace was notorious for gossip, and as Meredith's person, she refused to make Meredith's eventual return any harder than it had to be. At least she hoped Meredith would eventually return.
"I know you know." Alex walked in from the kitchen, holding a beer.
"Evil spawn, what are you talking about?" Cristina replied simply. "I'm going to bed. I have an early shift tomorrow. I want to get on Burke's service."
Thankfully, the trio left her alone. This is already going to be hard. Cristina thought as she climbed into Meredith's vacated bed.
"Would you like anything to drink?" The flight attendant asked Meredith.
Meredith craved tequila, but knew it would be a bad choice. "Water, please." She replied.
She reflected back on those minutes where she had chosen to keep the baby. She could have gotten an abortion, but something just seemed wrong. Maybe the fact that it would be the last piece of Derek she'd ever have. Regardless, she'd made her bed and now she'd have to lay in it.
She drifted slowly into sleep.
