You guys are the reason this chapter is even out. Now some people have been telling me that it's a little OOC but lets just say I don't really agree with Shondra on everything so yeah I write a little OOC, what's the big deal? Anyways I get this funny feeling in my stomach when I write this so yeah it makes me sick sometimes lol. I'm not real big on that sort of stuff. I'm a Cristina or Meredith what ever floats your boat. [But I still write it, awkward I know

Seriously!
The pursuit of happiness… is it really possible for such a thing to be even imaginable. We all dream we will find happiness, its what keeps us going when our mind says 'just give up'. When it comes to career it is never about the job, its always about being on top of the game or getting ahead…sometimes it blinds us from the key objections that we need to be successful in our career.
Meredith hung up the phone. She couldn't believe the irony that she had just encountered. It was so paradoxical; her best friend was also pregnant. She turned around to see Derek behind her with questioning eyes.
"Cristina" she said
"Cristina? What about her"
"She is pregnant too"
"That's kind of cool isn't it?"
"Yeah"
"Are you feeling ok?"
"I'm fine." Once again the telephone started ringing.
"Hello, is this Miss Meredith Grey?"
"Yes."
"Hello this Nancy, I work at SGH. We have been notified to call you about your sister Lexy Grey. She has a Primary Malignant pineocytoma. She is showing extreme amounts of hydrocephalus. It is inoperable and her life expectancy is very low. She will live at tops for a week and that still is improbable. I am so sorry."
"Uh I um, is there anything I should be doing for her or for the family?"
"No mam. Since you were not around before now there is really nothing." Meredith hung up the phone and stared at the ceiling. She had never been fond of Lexy but it still hurt her to know that she was dieing. She started getting teary eyed.
"Meredith are you ok?"
"Its Lexy. She has a Primary Malignant pineocytoma."
"Oh Mer I'm so sorry" he sad hugging her.
"Its ok though. I think anyway."
"Mer are you sure."
"Yeah, Her mom and my mom. Wow its a lot to take in. I am not to close to her and I am not fond of her but she is so young. She has a week at most to live."
"That's not very long, are you gonna go see her?"
"Maybe. I don't know, you know my hormones are all out of whack from the baby."
"Speaking of the baby I think we should think of some names Derek, that will help me cause right now I just need to calm down."
"Uh ok. Whatcha think?"
"Uh I don't really know but I really really like the name Riley if it's a boy. You can't imagine how much I like that name."
"I like it to. So put Riley on the top of the boys list. By the way when is your next appointment?"
"Thank you. Um this Thursday. What do you think for a girl?"
"I like Isabelle."
"As in like Izzie?"
"Yeah why not?"
"Oh nothing I like that name too." She said her eyes flashing over to a picture she had on her wall of Meredith and Izzie in the kitchen backing. It was one Alex took. They both looked really good in it and she was happy she had a friend that would do stuff like that with her, her and Cristina are still the best of friends but Cristina would not be caught dead getting her picture taken like that…
Seriously!
"Alex?"
"What Iz?"
"How many times do I have to tell you not to leave your dirty laundry on my floor? I am more orderly than you and I don't need your mess in here."
"Oh Iz shush and get back to your baking." Izzie huffed and marched back into the kitchen where she was baking chocolate muffins. Alex walked up behind her and kissed her on the neck, causing her to spin around and he planted another one on her lips this time.
"As soon as you're done here your mine Isabelle." He hissed seductively
"Ok Alexander."
"Don't ever call me that."
"Sorry Alex" she said with a grin.
Seriously!
"Callie?"
"What now George?"
"I was wondering when you're shift started."
"Tonight at 6 why?"
"Just wondering."
"Im going to the store could you please clean the apartment for me?"
"Sure Callie." He said dryly.
Seriously!
"Mark!" Addison says walking out of the bathroom into her hotel room in just a robe with her hair-dripping wet.
"Yes Addi?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh I just thought I'd come and see my girl."
"No get out"
"Oh but Addi."
"No Mark get out."
"Im not leaving Addi. You and Derek got a divorce, you're all alone. I don't want you to be. You're a strong girl, but I'm afraid you cant do this own your own, no one can. So let me stay. I'll listen to whatever you say and I can help you." Addison nodded and started to cry. Mark took her onto his lap and rubbed her back soothingly.
"Shhhh…you'll be ok Addi. You'll be ok. Im here for you."
Seriously!
"Derek?"
"Huh, Mer?"
"Uh this is gonna sound weird but I'm really hungry for pickles and peanut butter. Can you get me some?"
"Your starting to get your cravings huh sweetie?"
"Yeah I guess," she said as Derek walked towards the kitchen and pulled out the pickle and peanut butter.
"How would you like that prepared, darling?" he said with in his best waiter tone.
"On bread thanks. And you never told me you worked in a restaurant!" she said laughing.
"That's cause I didn't." he said bringing her the sandwich.
"Well that's a good thing."
"Is that so?" he said and she grunted in pain
"What's wrong?" he looked panicked but without a response Meredith grabbed his hand and laid it gently on her stomach. Derek grinned, it was the first time he ever felt the baby kick.
"Riley is a kicker." She responded.
"How do you know it's a boy?"
"I know these things Derek."
Seriously!
Callie walked in the door with the groceries to find George sweeping the floor. The hotel room was spotless. Her jaw dropped and she hugged him.
"Sorry if it's not clean enough." He said looking guilty
"Its fine." She said kissing him
"What do you think about kids?"
"You mean having them?"
"Yeah."
"I think that would be great, Callie."
"That's good. Cause im pregnant."
"Oh my god!" He remembered the conversation at lunch. "Wait Mer and Cristina are pregnant too."
"Holy crap?!!?"
"Yeah I know soon Alex will have Izzie knocked up to."
"Cristina never struck me as the parenting type." Callie argued.
"Yeah I think she is gonna go behind Burke's back and get an abortion, cause I highly doubt Burke knows about the baby."
"Your probably right."
"Well Callie just so we're clear, I am so happy that your pregnant." He said hugging her.
"Thanks George."
Seriously!
"Thanks Mark, I really needed that."
"Anytime Addi. But if you ever need to talk or you know anything more just call me."
"I will mark."
Seriously!
Cristina walked into Meredith's house, she knew Mer wouldn't care and she was too upset to mind. She walked strait up the stairs into mer's room.
"Out now." She said pointing at Derek.
"Cristina?"
"I need to talk to Meredith."
"I guess I'll be taking a shower." He said getting up.
"What do you need Cristina?"
"Burke. He cheated on me. He cheated on me and im pregnant."
"He didn't." Meredith cringed with disbelief.
"He did."
"What are you gonna do."
"Im dumping him and getting an abortion it's the only way."
"No it's not Cristina."
"How do even know he was cheating on you?"
"I have a key to his apartment, he was there with another girl." She was on the brink of tears, so was Meredith.
"I have to go Meredith, I'm not gonna put up with this."
"Are you ok Cristina? I can drive you. Your really upset."
"Im fine, We're fine, everything is fine Meredith."
"Ok." Meredith said sarcastically.
Seriously!
"Cristina I was just about to find you we need to talk." Burke said.
"I know we do but im doing the talking. It's over. You could've at least had the decency to break up with me before you do this. Im done, we're done." She said walking away.
"Jeesh Preston what did you do?" Dr. Hahn said.
"I don't know. I just wanted to tell her my sister was in town and I wanted her to meet her. Oh no."
"What?"
"She thought I was cheating on her." He ran to the parking lot where the rain was pouring down on him. He saw Cristina on her knees beside her car, crying. A sight he had never thought he would even dream of seeing her in.
"Cristina."
"What do you want?"
"I'm not cheating on you."
"What?"
"That's my sister." Cristina's eyes shot to his and she hugged him, tears still falling. It was a beautiful scene, an emotional wreck right out in plain view. They loved each other and the chemistry started to happen.
"I'm pregnant, Burke, I'm pregnant."
"Cristina! That's great." He hugged her. "Let's get you home."
Seriously!
Izzie lay on the bed half-naked with Alex.
"That was great." She said, the tint of rain hitting the roof, making it an emotional scene.
"I love you, Izzie I have for along time now. I know I've been an ass. I know that. I'd love to make it up to you, would you Isabelle Stevens be my wife?"
"Alex. Oh my god." She about passed out.
"Well?"
"Yes. Yes I will." She said hugging him.
Seriously!
"Meredith?"
"Yeah Derek?"
"My mom is in town, she wants to meet you. We are going out to dinner tomorrow night. Can you wear something that shows of your stomach? Like that lavender colored shirt that is tight around your chest then flares out?"
"Sure that shows off my fat enough."
"No I just want her to notice it on her own."
"Why?"
"Lets say she will be more excited if she doesn't expect it."
"Well that's good." She said smiling.
"That's also why id like you to do this for me too." He took a deep breath and kneeled. "Meredith Grey, I love you more than words can express. I want to wake up beside you, go to bed beside you; I wanna be the one that wakes up at 4 in the morning to take care of you and our children. I want to be the guy that you can't get out of your head. But, most of all I want to be McDreamy, and I want you to be Mrs. McDreamy. So will you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife, Meredith?"
Her heart did a flip for joy, she couldn't even respond. She stood there staring at him. She had to say yes. This was her life long dream. She finally worked up the nerve to answer.
"Well it took you long enough, yes I will Derek." They hugged and had no intention of ever letting go.
Happiness… when it finds you, you either take it or you don't. It may be easier to turn it down but does it really benefit to you? Happiness isn't life… it just makes living life worthwhile. My advice? Just do it.
END
Well what did you think? It's not the best chap. But I'm trying to cram all the stuff into the first 3 or 4 chapters so I can get along with the interesting stuff. I promise it will get better. I know I'm really pushing it making Callie, Meredith, and Cristina pregnant all at once but that's the irony and you can't pick when you get pregnant. Plus, Callie is a friend with everyone in my story, a little OOC but I hate that they hate Callie. Also YES Derek and Alex did propose and they both said yes which is making things even more ironic but hey that's what I live for. Also, its 'because we can't help who we fall in love with that's why…' yeah that's a mer quote from Season two [one of the last episodes where Iz cut Denny's LVAD…
So review and I may get the next chapter out sooner. Feedback is welcome just leave a way for me to defend my story.
