Meredith spent the rest of her weekend working on her homework and thinking about Elizabeth. On Sunday night she went to look for her step mother Susan and found her in the kitchen.

"Hi Susan"

"Oh hi Meredith, can I get you something?"

"Um, I wanted to talk to you about something. It's pretty important. About Elizabeth"

"Of course Meredith"

"I think I want to take her back. I never wanted to give her away in the first place but I just I am going to need your support and Thatcher's if I do"

"Meredith I can't imagine how hard it was for you to give away your own child. I would never be able to do something like that. If you take her back Maria (a lady who lived in the house with them. She basically raised Lexie and Molly) can take care of her while you are at school and so can I. We will all help you Meredith. Have the Robson's agreed?"

"They are having a hard time with her. They really think I should take her back"

"Then do it Meredith. You are not alone"

"Thank you Susan"

"Oh please Meredith you know you can call me Mom"

Meredith smiled and went upstairs and into bed. She would go pick up her daughter later that week, it wasn't going to be easy being in high school and raising a child but something inside her told her that she could do it.

When Meredith walked into her chemistry class Monday morning she saw Derek sitting at their lab bench. She walked up and hugged him from behind.

"Sorry I didn't answer any calls this weekend. I got busy"

He turned around and smiled at her, their eyes meeting "That's okay Mer, you had a rough night on Friday and I just thought you needed some space."

She smiled back at him, "I'm better now though, but I have something that I need to talk to you about. Maybe one night this week we can go out just the two of us, it is pretty important Derek"

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes, its just I really like you and I don't know if it is just me but I feel like there is something between us and well there is something you need to know before we take this relationship anywhere"

He nodded and they smiled at each other again and then their teacher began the lesson for the day.

Meredith's day was going really well, until forth came along. Marc was in her American History class and when he saw her sitting in her desk he came and sat beside her.

"Marc that isn't your seat"

"I know, can't I just sit here and talk to you though?"

"I guess so"

"So did you and Derek do anything on Friday or did you actually just disappear like he said you did"

"That is really none of your business Marc and for the record you are such a dick"

"Excuse me?"

"You're Derek's best friend, you know he's a virgin and you dared us that on purpose just to try and ruin our chances of being together. And then you slept with his girlfriend who he had been dating for years, I mean who do you think you are?"

"Really who do I think I am? Why are you even in New York? You're baby's father refuse to pay child support and your mommy kicked you out so you had no where else to go"

"What are you talking about Sloan?"

"I saw where you went when you left the party Meredith. So you have a daughter who is living in the suburbs with some mysterious people huh? That is your secret?"

"Like I said what are you talking about?"

He took out his cell phone and showed her the pictures he took of her holding Elizabeth.

"Marc…"

"So now can you please answer the question? You got pregnant? That is why you were kicked out of Baycrest?"

"Marc please drop this and shut up"

"Oh you won't tell me, I'm sure gossip girl would love these photos. And I will bet she can come up with a much better twisted story to go with them"

Meredith ripped the cell phone from Marc's hand. "Marc I will do anything. Please don't tell anyone"

Marc had officially wrapped Meredith around his finger. He was going to be calling all the shots for a while now because the way Meredith was talking; she would do anything to keep this secret from getting out.

I know Marc is evil, and he is only going to get worse from here. Stay tuned for a Mer Der date and Meredith will introduce Derek to Elizabeth also the rest of this discussion between Meredith and Marc.
