Derek looked down at Meredith. He could see the hurt in her eyes, even if she wasn't looking into his. Tears were trickling down her face. All that mattered in this moment was that he loved her and he didn't want to lose her. Of course this huge news changed everything, but Derek was happy that everything was changing because he was with Meredith.
"Meredith?" Both Meredith and Derek looked up towards the doorway. It was obvious Cristina was too busy in the on-call room with Burke to notice that the person, Meredith wanted to avoid most, had made his way freely through the whole hospital, eventually ending up at Meredith's doorstep.
"Finn," Meredith clearly wasn't happy to see him and Finn could tell. "We need to talk."
Derek respected Meredith's wishes and gently kissed her on top of her honey blonde hair and slowly moved out of the bed and walked out of the room.
"So what time do they let us visitors visit in the morning?" Finn asked with a smile as he glided over to Meredith's bedside. She didn't want to tell him about the pregnancy. Meredith knew Finn knew about the hot, steamy exam room sex her and Derek had, but he only knew from instinct, he didn't know for definite and she wanted to make sure Finn didn't know for definite.
"You shouldn't do that," Meredith replied as a lump formed in her throat and trying to hold back the tears. She felt bad, she didn't want to break it off with Finn like this, but it was her only choice.
"I don't mind," Finn grabbed Meredith's hand. He had no idea what was happening, that his beating heart was about to break in two.
"No really, Finn. You shouldn't do that." One simple tear fell from Meredith's green watery eye. Finn looked at her as he realised what she was saying.
"So it's Derek."
"I'm sorry." Meredith whispered as she tried to hold back the tears.
"Can I ask why?" Finn asked quietly as a lump began to develop in his throat.
Meredith moved slightly in her bed as she looked up at a man she really did like.
"You're a great guy, you're a wonderful guy. And you may even be the better guy, but-"
"He's the one."
"And I wish he wasn't."
Finn looked into the hazel green eyes that belonged to Meredith. He saw sadness yet happiness at the same time. Not that she was happy that she broke up with him, but happiness that something was going to change; her life was going to change.
"Take care of yourself Meredith." Finn turned his back. Meredith watched as he slowly turned and disappeared round the corner.
Once again, Meredith was alone. Derek had been called into an emergency craniotomy which meant he couldn't hold her with his strong muscular arms like she wanted him to. Meredith closed her eyes, suddenly drifting off into a deep sleep. Her motherly hand lay atop of her womb, holding her baby.
"Mer," Izzie whispered as she approached a sleeping Meredith. "Meredith." She didn't want to wake her friend, but she was concerned. If she wasn't propped up on drugs, then what was wrong with her?
Meredith moaned as Izzie shook her shoulder lightly. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked up at the light blonde haired woman.
"I just saw Finn walk out of the hospital, is everything alright?" Izzie asked concered.
"Yeah," Meredith mumbled as she started to wake up.
"So McDreamy is the one?" Izzie said happily. Although finding out about their relationship upset her to begin with, she knew that they were meant to be. Anyone could tell that they belonged to each other as soon as they saw them standing together.
"Yeah," Meredith mumbled again.
"You're hiding something Meredith Grey!" Izzie exclaimed.
"I-I'm not."
"Okay, with you stuttering and trying to reassure me that there's nothing to hide, there is so something to hide." Izzie went on. "Besides if you don't want to tell me that's fine, but I will find out!" Izzie chuckled as she walked out of the room.
Meredith looked up at the clock. It was five hours since Derek had gone into his surgery and she knew he would be out in a matter of minutes. Someone distracted Meredith from her gaze as she watched her best friend walk past her room.
"Cristina!" Meredith bellowed.
"You alright, Mer?" Cristina asked, she knew Meredith was mad at her and she knew why.
"What the hell, Cristina! I thought you were going to cover for me!" Meredith yelled.
"I'm sorry, I got caught up!" Cristina defended herself.
"Caught up in the on-call room with Burke," Meredith muttered with a slight giggle.
"So, you told Derek?" Cristina asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah," Meredith mumbled not really wanting to talk about it.
"And then McVet came in?"
"Yeah."
"McAss."
Suddenly the room went quiet. A tall, slim figure walked into the room. Her red hair swung on top of her head in perfection, she gave a kind smile at Meredith. Reaching for Meredith's chart, Addison had no idea what she was in for.
