Later that day.
Meredith had just scrubbed out from a surgery with Burke. She was lucky after all and she got a surgical case down in pit. A man's aorta ruptured and he needed an emergent intervention.
She walked out of the scrub room talking with Burke about their patient's chances to recover completely and then she and Burke took in on different directions. On her way to elevator, Meredith saw Alex coming from the opposite way carrying with him a huge grin and a very good mood.
"I say that the surgery went well, right?" Meredith asked him giggling at the look of his cheerful behavior.
Alex wrapped an arm around her waist smiling leading her inside of the elevator, which had just arrived. They waited for the passengers from there to step out and then they took their place inside.
"You should get pregnant again with Sloan! Maybe this way I'll become a top plastic surgeon too!" Alex told her with a smirk and let her waist go.
Meredith started to laugh at his suggestion. "Make your own babies with Sloan if you want to! And btw, I am kind of thirsty and I still have two hours left until my shift ends!"
"Right away Mer!" Alex smiled, running a hand over her back on his way out from the elevator.
Meredith stepped out from elevator too, on the next floor heading back in pit.
The pit was empty; there was nothing that could request her service, so she turned around on her heels to the nurses' station. As she did that a wave of dizziness hit her, making her feel the ground unstable under her feet. She managed to grab the counter's edge with one hand, while she pressed the other one against the forehead.
Cold shivers crossed along her body and the nausea was making her condition even worse.
"Are you ok?"
A firm hand made an up and down move along her back, and a worried, warm voice came as support for her.
Meredith leaned against the strong body and rested on it.
"I'm just a little pregnant!" Meredith mumbled with a sigh.
"Yes, but you are pregnant with my baby!"
Meredith giggled and looked up at Mark, just to see his big grin. "And this is supposed to make me feel better?"
Mark chuckled as he was rubbing her back. "I hope so! Is it working?"
Meredith felt a little better so she straightened up back on her feet. She looked up at Mark smiling and shook her head while her lips were crushing under her teeth. "No"
"Ok but the part of me looking like a good guy, is working?"
"Yeah… a little!"
"So I am on the right way!"
"You are on the right way!" Meredith confirmed smiling.
"Good, then can I make you a visit tonight?"
"Oh so you are actually asking me before showing up, huh?"
"I told you I am working on the good guy side of me!"
Meredith let out a short laugh and patted slowly his chest. "Keep working on it! You are doing a great job so far!"
Mark chuckled. "I knew I will impress you with this!"
Meredith just giggled and turned around to leave.
"Do you need anything?" Mark shouted after her.
"No, Alex is taking care of this right now!" Meredith looked back at him with a smirk.
"Oh, so this is why you asked me to let him scrub in with me!"
Meredith continued to smile and answered him with a shrug before turning her back on him again.
"You're smart!"
"I know!" Meredith laughed waving a hand in air without looking back at him.
Both of them returned to their work; Meredith impatiently to get her drink for Alex and Mark to go over her house, with his little surprise (or at least he thought it is a surprise).
