Chapter 2

"Dr. Shepherd," said Izzie.

As soon as he had finished his shift at hospital, Derek had gone straight to Meredith's house. He had to know one way or the other if the baby was his.

"Is Meredith there?" Derek as impatiently.

"No…she isn't," said Izzie sympathetically.

"Izzie I just want to talk to her," said Derek not believing that Meredith wasn't home. "Just talk to her, please."

"I wasn't covering for her," said Izzie. "She really isn't here."

"Can I wait for her?"

"Sure," Izzie shrugged. "I can't keep you off the porch."

He wasn't a bit hit with Meredith's friends lately.

"Thank you," Derek sighed.

"I don't know when she'll be back or if she's coming back tonight," said Izzie feeling bad about banishing him to the porch.

"It's fine," said Derek. "I have the time to wait."

"First time for everything I suppose," Izzie muttered as she went inside.

After about an hour, Derek saw Meredith's car pull into the driveway. She got out and walked onto the porch.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "Izzie called and said you were out here and if I didn't come and talk to you then Alex was going to come out and kick your ass."

"Where were you?" asked Derek. It was late and she was only back now because Izzie had called her. Was she with a guy? The father of her baby?

"I was being ravished by an undeniable sex god," said Meredith leaning against the front door. She took one look at the look Derek's face and started to giggle. "I was at Cristina's."

"Right."

"So what do you want?" asked Meredith. "I'm sure you haven't been sitting out here for an hour because you were wondering where I was."

"You're pregnant!"

"Yes," said Meredith calmly. "I am."

"How far along?"

"Twelve weeks," she said. "I wanted to wait until I was safe before I told people."

"So you knew when I…I mean when we…"

"When I found out about you and…Rose is it? Yeah I knew…well I had a really strong suspicion, I took the test after we…you know…"

"You should have told me then," he scowled. She knew, she should have told him, things would have been so different if she had told him…unless. "Is it mine?"

"Do you want it to be?"

"Just answer the question."

"Look Derek I won't lie to you, unless you want me to. Do you want it to be yours?"

Derek closed his eyes, in the past six hours he hadn't actually asked himself that question. Did he really want to have a baby with Meredith? He had loved her, maybe he still did, but she was an avoider and they were messy and complicated. Did he want to raise a child with her?

"Yes."

"Damn I was hoping you were going to say no," said Meredith nervously.

"Meredith tell me the truth, are you having my baby?"

"Yes."


I know it's short but it's the only place I could really finish the chapter.

So even though it's short and rly just a filler REVIEW anyway
