A/N Endzi thank you very much for the review I really appreciate it. I can't wait for them to go to San Francisco as well. I would just like to say that I put in the pregnancy because it adds a little drama to the story and I love a McBaby's so in other words a MerDer Baby. It'll guarantee some fluff. I'll let hem go to San Francisco but first some Meredith/Christina issues as Mer's person I think Christina should know before they leave.
Meredith was sitting in old guy who doesn't move's room.
" Hey Mer, what's
up?" Christina asked when she entered the room and saw her friend
sitting a lone in the dark, looking lonely and panicked.
"Nothing"
she lied
"Mer, you're a bad liar and I'm an expert I almost invented it. So don't you even try to fool me. It's pathetic really" Christina said sounding actually serious
" Ok something's up but I'm fine, seriously!"
"Seriously?!?" It was as much a question as it was a statement. "Old guy over there looks better than you look right now, you're not fine at all. What's up Mer? I'm your person Mer I told you my stuff so you'll do the same that's how it works" Christina said with a hint of what looked like hurt to Meredith in her voice.
"Ok, I'll tell. I.. I'm pregnant" Meredith finally blurted out
" I knew it! But it's not McVet's right?" Christina said disgusted by the vet.
" No it's not
Finn's it's Derek's" Meredith said freaking out on the
inside, saying made her feel like making it more definite.
"It's
McBastard's baby? What a shock" Christina she said with mocked
shock
" So Prom Night huh?"
"Christina" Meredith yelled
"What? It's not like he'll tell anyone" Christina said pointing at the old mn
"So?!? What ida nurse is listening at the door or would've walked in?" Meredith panicked. She had been the victim of the nurses' gossip to many times to her taste.
"Seriously Mer.
Listen to yourself, you're all paranoid and nerves. It's not good
for Mcfetus. Speaking of that are you keeping it?
"I
think so it's gonna be hard but I can't do it. Abort it I mean.
But Derek can't know at least not for now.
---- 5 days later----
"Ah.. San Francisco here we come" Derek said enthusiastically, he was a free man now, not that he wanted to take advantage of that fact. As far as he was concerned, he still belonged to one person. Just a different person than his ex-wife. The –ex part rolled smoothly through his mind, he was kind of surprised by that, 11 years is a long time. But he belonged to someone else. This extraordinary blonde, he met in a bar almost a year ago, the girl that had saved him. With that special laugh of hers. With that special caring character she had. And not to mention those perfect ineffectual fists. That all had once belonged to him, but he had screwed up. He knew he had almost destroyed her and it had killed him, just as much as it had killed him to see her with that vet, he was finally out of the picture. No-one stood in their way except for the mess he had created and he was the one who had to clean that mess up so she might trust him again. He hoped he could fix it. She looked different today as she had looked different the entire week. She looked scared and worried in a way that it couldn't be about San Francisco. She looked almost terrified. Something was up. He had to be careful with her, he didn't want to risk hurting again. He would be in a lot of trouble, not only Christina had made it clear it they didn't want to see Mer broken again, especially not about him. All her friends had stopped by and told him this even Bailey. He didn't mind though 'cause he wasn't planning on hurting her and he loved Mer had such protective friends, they were good for her. They were there for her when he wasn't. And he wasn't about to forgive himself for that.
"So Mer did you hear Addison signed?" he asked to start a conversation
"Yes Dr Shepherd I'm aware of that but I'm confused as in how that would affect me." She said dully
"It doesn't have to and I do understand if it doesn't but I was kind of hoping it would. I had hoped you would be at least sort of happy or relieved." He said.
"I'm happy for you that you're of an unhappy marriage. But we've had this conversation before." Meredith said with a slight tremor in her voice.
"Mer what's up?" He asked concerned.
"Nothings up, Derek.
Why would anything be up. I just have to deal with the fact that a
guy that made me fall in love, had a wife he didn't tell me about.
And after choosing the wife, he couldn't leave me a lone kept
messing with my head. Even when I tried to move on he couldn't
instead he called me a whore because I tried to repair what he had
broken! And even now, when he decides his wife isn't what he
wanted after all he can't leave me a lone." She called out
hysterically
"Guess what Derek, I'm not going to be second
choice"
"Guess what Mer you never were!"
"I wasn't
enough back than, so I'm not right now, nothing changed." She
said "And you're dropping it now, I don't want to talk about it
anymore."
"Meredith I know something else is up and I want
you to know that I'll be there for you what ever it is you're
strong you'll get through it, you've got me and your friends. You
can't imagine how they tried to scare me" He chuckled " They
love you and they'll do anything to protect you. I will drop it now
but I won't give up without a fight this time." He said
determined
He knew she wouldn't give in, immediately but the
seed was planted. The seed to trust.
He felt Meredith
falling into a deep sleep and he felt her shifting putting her head
on his shoulder. He put his arm protective around her hoping she
wouldn't wake and push him away she just shifted and made herself
more comfortable. He knew it was only a small sign but he knew she
unconsciously still trusted him and he was willing to fight for her
conscious trust.
He soon drifted into a sleep as well.
As soon as
a woke she knew exactly in what arms she was sleeping in. Oh god why
me. Why did he have to give her that comforting speech. She had
drifted into a sleep and apparently fallen into his arms. She still
lay there and as soon as she realized that she pulled away. It just
had been so comfortable, so familiar. Than she felt the hand he had
on her stomach om my good did he know how could he know I'm not
showing you it's only 4 weeks.
"Geez Derek!"
"What the hell! Come
on wake up, you're arm is around me and on me and I don't need
that right now"
"Huh" he said looking puzzled as how he had
his arms
"Why are my arms like this" he asked
"I honestly have no idea how am I supposed to know, why you put your arms a certain way especially since I was a sleep before you."
"Yeah, I guess you're right" he said still looking puzzled
"What ever" Meredith mumbled feeling embarrassed about lying.
Bay Mirror San Francisco
"Common Les,
we're late they arrive in half an hour"
" I'm coming, hun"
he grinned
"You funny you!" she replied
30 minutes later
"MEERRR!" Derek heard Phoebe yelling from a distance
"Pheeebs!" Meredith ran over to her
"I've missed you"
Phoebe said
"Yeah I missed you to" Meredith said smiling broad
it was the first time in a couple of weeks he had seen her smiling
like that
" You look good girl" Phoebe added
"Thanks so do you"
Meredith told her, they both did look good he had to grin to himself
at that thought
"So this is the famous Derek Shepherd I've
heard about, McDreamy was it? Or is that embarrassing doctor?" she
said with a grin
"Nah I'm kind of getting used to it" he
smiled
"So you must be Les, the ghostwriter I heard a lot about
you" Meredith told the strange guy next to Phoebe
" Yeah I'm Les,
when Phoebe went on sabbatical a couple of months ago I ghostwrote
her story. And I now came back for Phoebe. And I got my own column
at the bay mirror and I'll do one of your interviews" He said
explaining his presence
" Oh his nice to meet you, I'm Derek
Shepherd" He said sticking out his hand which Les took
"Nice
to meet you to" He said
A/N this is the end for now I wanted to update today and I wanted them to go to San Francisco so they're there right now from now one there'll be some more charmed in it. Might even put in a demon nothing to freaky but it has to be both ways if I want to make it Charmed/Grey's fic there's a lot of Grey's drama and only a little Charmed family stuff so I might throw in another part of charmed.
