CHAPTER 7

A thought ran through Meredith's head, was it possible that she was pregnant evidently the signs were all there,the unexplained nausea,the tiredness and her sudden cravings for pickles which she had never liked until now. A sudden chill ran through her spine it was VERY likely she was and a rush of panic started to fill every part of her body, and silently Meredith sank to the floor and began to sob.

Outside the bathroom door Izzie heard the sound of Meredith's sobs and quickly ran inside only to find Meredith sitting on the floor,arms across her legs and rocking her body back and forth as like would one with a child. Rushing towards her friend Izzie grabbed a paper towel and handed it to Meredith who clutched it like a life line.

"Thanks Iz." Meredith said wiping the tears from her face with the paper towel and handed it back to her friend who immediately threw it into the trash can and gave Meredith a reassuring hug to let her know that everything will be alright.

" Are you going to be okay now Mer?" Izzie asked a few minutes later while watching Meredith wash up after her meltdown.

Meredith nodded as she wiped her hands on the paper towel " Yes i'll be fine,hormones you know."she said.

Izzie wasn't convinced but decided to let it pass as they were going to be late for class as it is "Okay i'll go get you a pregnancy test after school so you'll know for sure okay?" she said hoping it would relieve Meredith for a little while anyways.

"Could we actually do it at your place? I don't want my mom knowing i'm pregnant just yet,and knowing my mom she would either kick me out of the house,or order me to have a abortion." Meredith said shuddering at the thought of killing a tiny human baby and the fact that her mother wouldn't hesitate in killing it.

Izzie shuddered as well,having met Ellis Grey she understood why her friend would rather not do it at home so she said to Meredith " Of course my mother won't be home til midnight so she won't care." she assured her friend.

"Thanks Iz you have no idea how much this mean's to me,i really appreciate this." Meredith said

walking out of the bathroom.

"No problem that's what friends are for right?"Izzie said smiling and then the two of them exited the bathroom and headed towards class where for the rest of the day the thoughts of being pregnant ceased and allowed Meredith to enjoy the rest of the school day and knowing whatever happens later,well she'll deal with it then.

Later that evening at the Stevens trailer Meredith sat on Izzie's bed with a box with a couple of pregnancy tests that her friend had gotten for her,which she realized that in a few minutes her life could change her life forever and Meredith panicked once again.

"Izzie i don't know if i can do this." Meredith said her hands trembling with fright.

Izzie walked from the kitchen where she had been getting sodas for her and Meredith "Yes you can do this,i know you can do it." she assured Meredith and gave her a gentle hug as she sat down on her bed.

"But what if i am pregnant,what do i tell my mom?" Meredith quietly asked her friend.

Izzie hesitated before answering " Look we don't even know you are pregnant yet so let's worry about it later okay,so go and take the test already!" she ordered and Meredith got up rather hesitantly before Izzie pointed to the bathroom door "Just go!".

Meredith sighed knowing Izzie wasn't going to let her out of it so she picked up the box that held the tests and headed towards the bathroom where,in the next few minutes would determine the rest of her life and so she peed on the stick and placed it gently on the sink and prayed that it would be negative.

Please don't let me be pregnant already Meredith thought as she paced back and forth inside the bathroom as she waited for the timer to go off ,i know i said i wanted this but if i'm pregnant how can i handle this on my own? Hopefully she wouldn't have to find out,but with all the signs pointing to her being pregnant,she had better come up with a answer and soon. And then the next thing she knew the timer had gone off and Meredith's heart began to pound ,so she stood up rather shakily and thought here goes nothing and reached for the test and glanced down at it and her stomach began to drop.

PREGNANT and Meredith felt the breath go out out her well at least she knew and now can start planning for the future,which meant for starters leaving the bathroom and telling Izzie well here goes nothing Meredith thought and left the bathroom.

Izzie was sitting on her bed when she heard the bathroom door open and judging from the paleness of her friend's face she automatically knew the result.

"So you're pregnant,are you alright?" Izzie asked in a sympathetic voice.

Meredith shrugged and sat down on the bed " I suppose i mean it was part of the plan,right?" she responded rather dazedly.

Izzie wrapped her arm around Meredith's shoulder "Don't worry everyone else will be in your position soon enough."

Meredith held back a laugh "And we'll be the five crazy pregnant teens then right?"

Izzie chuckled "I guess we will,so are you going to tell Derek about the baby?"

Meredith paused " I don't know i guess i should,right?"

Izzie patted her hand "That's up to you but if it were me,i would tell him and let him decide what he wants."

Meredith thought about it for a minute what would be the harm in telling him,right? If he doesn't want the baby then at least i'll know for sure and move on.

"I'll tell Derek tomorrow and if he doesn't want the baby,then i can move on right?" Meredith asked her friend.

Izzie shook her head laughing "I don't think it will be as simple as that Mer."

Meredith sighed " I know."

The next day brought a lot of emotions for Meredith who was still coming to terms with her pregnancy and telling about it to Derek whom she hadn't talk to since the break up,and she was not looking forward to it. As she arrived at school she went about looking for Derek who either hadn't arrived yet or avoiding her,and she didn't blame him,it wasn't his fault his friend was a douche bag but she didn't give him the benefit of the doubt and she felt guilty about that. She started looking in the gym where he was often seen,at the chemistry class where on rare occasion was there early and then the cafeteria,she spotted him sitting with his ass of a friend laughing about something so Meredith holding her breath slowly made her way towards the table,when all of a sudden she saw a vaguely familiar brunette rush towards the table and what happend next made her see red.

"Who are you and why are you kissing my boyfriend?" Meredith demanded as she saw Derek's, Mark's and the mysterious brunette turn their heads around..

The brunette said nothing but Derek tried to step in " Meredith this isn't what it looks like" he said standing up and went over and reached for her but she stepped away.

"So well who are you?" Meredith demanded getting angrier by the minute.

The brunette stood up and thought to herself well here goes nothing " I am your sister Meredith." she whispered.
