So sorry for the awkward cliffhanger I left you all on but here I am again! I was back in college today but I decided to come home for my study period and work on this because I felt bad for leaving you all hanging and have now finished for the day so I have nothing to do for the rest of the night besides write!

So in Forensic science today I stabbed my finger with a needle and found out that I am O+ blood type! I am 16 and have never needed to know so it amazed me that I got to do the practical and find out my own blood type! Only down side is when I bleed, I bleed for hours and my finger has been none stop dripping with blood for the entire lesson- YAY! Sorry, pointless information about my day :D

Anyway... Enjoy!

They continued to stand awkwardly between each other, Meredith rocking slightly on her toes, her balance not being great due to the huge baby bump she was carrying. Derek took a moment to take her in, wondering how, even pregnant, she was still glowing, still the most beautiful woman ever to him.

"How far along are you?" He asked, breaking the silence, Meredith smiling slightly.

"Just over 5 months"

"So you found out when we broke up?" She shook her head, looking down as she placed her hand on top of her bump.

"No actually, I was a month along when I found out" She admitted, Derek nodding.

"I wanted to tell you" She blurted out, Derek opening his mouth to speak but she continued to ramble.

"I mean, when I took the test I knew you should know but then Mark said you were with Rose and the idea got worse and worse and I didn't want you to come back to me because of the baby, I wanted you to come back because you wanted me. It's selfish but I didn't want you to resent me" She admitted, Derek's face softening even more.

"I don't blame you for not telling me Meredith, and I am sorry that you were even in the position to keep it from me. That was my own fault, and the reason behind you not telling me isn't selfish at all" She was glad he wasn't angry, relieved he understood. It was making the situation a lot easier on her.

"It's a boy" She said after a while, Derek's face lighting up, Meredith feeling tears sting her eyes at the childish look on his face.

"We're having a boy?" She nodded, Derek laughing slightly, a tear rolling down Meredith's cheek.

"We're having a boy" Through the wooden door, the three had their heads pressed against the door, huge grins on their faces as they heard the exchange.

"They're having a boy- did you know" Cristina mimicked with a smirk, Alex laughing.

"Can we leave now?" Alex asked, Mark nodding, slowly opening the door up. Meredith and Derek stared at the trio, Cristina grabbing Alex's arm, dragging him to the doorway.

"We will see you tomorrow Mere" She said, holding up her thumbs before pushing Alex out the door, shutting it over behind her. Mark stood next to Meredith staring at Derek who suddenly felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"You need to sit down" He said after a few seconds, looking at Meredith who just nodded, walking to the couch, slowly sitting down, wincing slightly.

"What happened?" Derek questioned, remembering the crisis that had happened which brought him to Mark's in the first place.

"It's fine, I have a low lined placenta so Addison is going to monitor it"

"It isn't fine Meredith, you need to take it easy" Mark argued, his protectiveness on overdrive due to the extra presence with them.

"How is Addison going to treat it if it doesn't go back to the normal shape?" Derek asked, wanting to know everything he possibly could.

"With some medication. If it isn't normal 2 weeks before I am due she is going to book me in for a c-section" Derek nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked back up at Mark who was staring at him with narrow eyes.

"I think I am going to go to bed. Just send Addison in when she comes back" Meredith said, much preferring the awkwardness from before than the testosterone floating around the room currently. Mark helped her stand, opening the bedroom door, Meredith shaking her head as she shut it over on them, the two falling back into the awkward silence as they stared at each other.

"How long has she been living with you?" Derek asked, Mark moving to the kitchen, leaning against the side, still not breaking his stare on Derek.

"Since she found out. I've been making sure she looks after herself, helping with keeping her up to date with surgeries while she isn't in"

"That was really great of you Mark thank you" He said considerately, though Mark took it to heart, raising his eyebrows at the man.

"And she is going to be here until the baby is here. No offence Derek, but I have been with her since day one unlike you and I would like to see it out" His tone was cold, but protective all the same.

"I wasn't saying I wanted her to leave Mark, but whether you like it or not, that is my baby and my girl and I would like to be here and make up for the time I was not, respectfully" Mark suddenly broke out into a smile, Derek feeling uncertain as Mark walked back around to the couch.

"Of course, I can easily pull the couch out into a bed for you"

"What? So now I can't sleep in the same bed as my girlfriend?" Derek was offended but clearly he should not have voiced his opinion, Mark gaining on him, the air between them short as he stared down at the man.

"Technically, you are still dating your slutty nurse and, I never heard her actually say she wanted you here Derek. So take the couch, or the door. But may I remind you the decision you make will either be your welcome home hug, or your funeral" Derek gulped, breaking out into a terrified smile.

"Lovely couch Mark" He managed to squeeze out, Mark backing up with a smile. With Derek's help he unfolded the couch, Derek grabbing a pillow and duvet from his wardrobe, laying them down for him.

"I know you hate me right now Mark but I am really grateful that you looked after her"

"I wouldn't even rethink any of it. She is a really good friend but she is a very strong woman, and I respect her in many ways. And also, I don't hate you Derek, I am your best friend. I can't hate you. But currently, I really want to punch you in the face, so let us leave it at that shall we?" Derek nodded, watching as he walked into his bedroom, shutting the door over. Derek sighed heavily, taking off his jacket, putting it on a chair in the kitchen. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Mark coming out of his bedroom, remembering Addison who had taken longer than anticipated.

"I am so sorry I got called in for a consult and then I lost my key to the medication cabinet! Is she okay? Do we need to take her to the hospital? Why is McBastard still here?" She stopped in her ramblings when she spotted Derek standing by a folded out couch, wondering what she had missed.

"Meredith is in her bedroom. You were gone a long time Add" Mark smiled, patting her shoulders, walking back into his bedroom, shutting the door.

"You know?" She asked, Derek nodding.

"McBastard? Really?" Addison just smiled politely, fixing her bag as she made her way to Meredith's bedroom door.

"Take it as a compliment, you have been called a lot worse over the past few months" She grinned, opening the door, closing it behind herself. Derek nodded with a small laugh, knowing it was going to take a lot to get back onto everyones good side, but at least he was almost there with Meredith, that was the best thing right now.

The next morning

Derek awoke to the strong scent of coffee and laughter, sitting up slowly with a stretch. He looked straight ahead, the sight like a dream to him. Meredith had a long t-shirt on and a pair of shorts, her baby bump making the t-shirt rise higher than it should be. She had her bunny slippers on that she loved so much, her hair in a lose bun. She had a frying pan in her hand, a huge grin on her face as she tried to copy Mark's actions, who was standing bare chested in front of her, a pair of pyjama pants being his only item of clothing.

"Watch my hands Meredith" He mimicking flicking something in a pan, Meredith nodding. She attempted to mimic his actions, the pancake which Derek assumed was in the pan not even lifting off the surface of the pan.

"Did you even put oil in the pan before putting in the batter?" Mark asked, taking the pan off Meredith who's face dropped.

"You're supposed to put oil in that thing before putting the goo in?"

"You know, for an incredible surgeon you actually are an idiot. That thing is a pan and the goo is pancake batter!" Derek stood from the couch catching the two's attention, Meredith grinning at him.

"We are making pancakes, do you want one?"

"Correction, I am making pancakes, do you want one?" Mark said in a sarcastic tone, Meredith smacking his arm annoyingly.

"Hey, I am helping"

"You know, cracking an egg and burning the bottom of the pancake doesn't count you know?" Derek commented, Mark letting out a bellow of a laugh.

"Thank you Derek" Meredith just pulled a face, handing over a mug of coffee to Derek, taking a seat next to him watching as Mark tried to fix the mess Meredith started. Derek looked between the two, glad they were working to make things normal again. Once he was broken up with Rose everything would go back to the way it was. Once he was broken up with Rose.


Mark, Addison and Bailey watched as Rose walked out of the on-call room her and Derek had gone into almost 45 minutes ago, Mark wondering what the hell had happened in there.

"What if he was lying? What if he just had break up sex with her?" Mark wondered out loud, Bailey scoffing.

"You think break up sex takes 45 minutes? Clearly you have no had break up sex" Addison turned to the woman with a raised eyebrow, wondering where the woman's knowledge was coming from.

"Addison Montgomery you can not look at me like that, should I bring up the time you slept with Alex Karev" Addison's jaw dropped, her head turning away as Bailey smirked, Mark holding up his hand to high five her.

"Mark Sloan, you have slept with every nurse in this hospital! Take your hand away from me" His face also dropped, his hand slowly returning to his side. They watched as Derek slowly opened the door, his head down as he walked out towards them, Addison being the first to spot the huge shiner on his right eye, letting out a laugh.

"Ohh, where has she gone so I can give her a hug" She whistled in awe as he lifted his head, even Bailey let out a laugh.

"Dr Bailey" Derek stared at her, Bailey continuing to smile innocently.

"I am Meredith Grey's resident and over the past few years have come to like her. You on the other hand, are a McAssHole. Go put ice on that" She nodded, turing on her heel and walking away.

"McAssHole! Any more?" Derek wondering, rubbing his face tenderly.

"You can find that out for yourself. Go put ice on that" Mark mimicked childishly, laughing loudly as he walked away also. Derek turned to Addison who just continued to giggle to herself, shrugging aimlessly.

"Go put ice on that Derek" She whispered with a grin, walking backwards before turning with a laugh, leaving Derek standing by the OR board alone. It's all for Meredith. This is all for Meredith. He sighed, turning and heading to the first aid cupboard to find some ice packs, starting to feel his face sting. Once leaving the cupboard, he recognised Cristina's voice who was in a group by the nurses station with Izzie, George and Alex, neither of them spotting him as he advanced on them.

"Is it true that McSlut beat the crap out of McDick then quit?" Cristina asked loudly, Derek clearing his throat making everyone turn to look at him, a grin on each and everyone of their faces.

"McDick? Seriously?"

"That was my one" Izzie commented with a proud smirk, Derek rolling his eyes.

"That is one shiner my friend" Alex said, patting his shoulder sympathetically.

"Try having it" He shot back, though it was all fun and games when he laughed, Izzie sighing dreamily.

"I can see McDreamy coming back. I like it" She skipped off, George laughing as he went to follow, turning to Derek before leaving.

"Make sure you keep the ice on that" Derek nodded with a pained smile, watching as Alex left, leaving him with Cristina.

"You know, I could give you a nice looking shiner over your other eye if you want?" She said, crossing her arms over her chest, staring at his face intently.

"I am trying to make amends with everyone, and you are on my list. What do I have to do?" Cristina made a thinking face, a sadistic grin spreading across her face.

"Have me on your service for the next two weeks and let me scrub in on all your surgeries" He nodded, Cristina cheering happily. She went to walk away, turning back slightly to look at him.

"I thought I would warn you, because, whether I like it or not you are kinda sorta my friend. Meredith is thinking of staying at Mark's a lot longer than just during her pregnancy. She was measuring out to fit a crib in her bedroom the other day. I am not telling you to spite you or her, I am telling you because Mark has been amazing and if you really need to make amends with someone right now, make amends with him, because him and Meredith are stuck at the hip, and you cannot get in the middle of that and get out in one whole piece" She turned and walked away, Derek standing in thought, knowing she was right and him and Mark needed to make up officially, if not for his sake for Meredith's. It was all about moving on at this point.

Okay so that is the end of this chapter, I am thinking of dragging this on a little more after when I was originally going to end it if you are all good with that? I think a lot more could happen after the pregnancy and would love to mess around with some ideas I have.

This is my only story going right now so if anyone has any story ideas they wanna share with me, don't hesitate to drop me a message.

Also be grateful for how fast I got this up, it is really hard typing with your main typing finger on your dominant hand in a plaster due to excessive bleeding! :D
