Chapter 2

I still haven't gotten any input on if I should make Meredith pregnant but it has only been a couple hours. Although I have gotten one review which I am very happy about my first review. Thanks keep reading and reviewing!

Izzie, Geogre, and Alex were all cooking in the kitchen at Meredith's home. George was cutting the vegetables, Izzie was preparing the soup and Alex was setting the table.

"Iz how many plates am I setting out?"

"Four"

"Make that five!" Meredith declared as she entered the room hand in hand with Derek.

"But Mer I thought you said…."

"Look Derek hasn't had a very good day he just need some friends"

"Of course Mer."

Dinner went better than expected. George and Izzie flirted from time to time and Alex and Derek talked about the surgeries they filled in on today. Meredith complimented Izzie's cooking and of course talked about her father's odd behavior. Overall it was a nice meal even had been civil except for a few insults from Alex to George. Meredith could tell Derek was a little depressed about his mother but she had hoped her "family" dinner had cheered him up.

Meredith walked Derek to the door.

"Thanks for coming tonight"

"Hey it was sort of fun your friends are funny and it really made me feel better Thank you Meredith!"

"Your welcome"

At that moment their bodies become one as he hugged her goodbye. She felt close to him like she never to let him go. Then she realized this is planet earth and on planet earth you can't hug people forever. She watched him leave with his chin pointing towards the ground knowing there was nothing she could do. If there was a moment in time where she could just go back to the where she had gotten lodged in the water and could have swum back to the pier she would do it right now. Then all this crap wouldn't have happened to Derek but it wasn't possible. So right now she would go back to the kitchen and take Alex's complaints.

"So what's going on between you and Shepard?"

"Nothing were just friends. That's all!"

"Sure cause friends come in the kitchen holding hands all the time!"

"Well I saw him in the storage room looking what I looked like over a year ago he comforted me. So I thought I would return the favor"

Alex looked confused like his small little brain couldn't comprehend what Meredith was stressing on his mind.

"He needed a friend Alex!"

"Well that was nice of you Meredith"

"Well I owe him"

"But I thought you guys broke up? S and M only "

"I love him Alex no matter what"

"And I'm proud of you for that Grey"

"I'm proud of you too!"

"About how you've been coping with this George and Izzie relationship, I thought you would be more jealous"

"Well there's nothing I can do it about I may be evil Spawn but I'm not gonna tear apart a happy home and their at least happy. Now goodnight Grey get some sleep you'll need it"

Alex patted her on the back as he walked up the stairs.

"Hey what about Lexie?"

"GOODNIGHT GREY!"
