Okay guys hope you like this one. Its loong, took me forever to write! It was going to be 2 chaps but I just made it one. There will be a part 2 up ASAP. Enjoy :D Don't own Grey's.

Addison walked across the large room, basking in the sunlight shining through the large French doors. The beauty of this room astounded her. She wanted it she had known from the minute she saw it.

" This house is amazing. I'll need to speak to my husband first but I think you've got yourself a deal."

She felt guilty. Derek didn't even know she was pregnant yet and here she was viewing houses behind his back. But she needed to do this; she needed to know she could function by herself because she feeling in her gut wasn't good. Derek's slipping. Her hand found her stomach and rested there. This house would be perfect for her child to live in. it had spacious rooms and oak furnishings everywhere, she loved it. There was a huge backyard and it was a nice neighbourhood certainly much more appropriate than a trailer.

Assembled in Meredith's kitchen was the usual suspect's Izzie cooking, George joking with her, Christina drinking tequila and Alex winding them all up. Meredith stood watching her friends lovingly. They were a happily dysfunctional family. She took a deep breath as small butterflies fluttered in her stomach; she had decided it was time to tell them about the baby. Time to rip the band-aid off. So she had gathered them all for a meal, figuring it would be easier to just tell them all at once. She knew Christina would probably be mad she didn't tell her first but it was now or never. She cleared her throat nervously.

" So Mer what's going on with Satan? Alex asked. Everyone tuned in to this, they had all been wondering since Addison's puking incident the other day.

" How would I know?

" Maybe because you and she-Shepard are all buddy buddy all of a sudden."

" We are not! She's my boss I have to be civil but apart from what patients she has this week I know nothing about her…"

The others didn't seem convinced but when back to their previous conversation about a patient who had been admitted earlier with tree-like grows coming from his hands.

" So um guys…"

Izzie and George were laughing and Christina rolling her eyes but they all looked over expectantly.

" I…have some news." She struggled to find the words.

" Well I uhh..."

" Come on Mer by the time you get it out it won't be news anymore." Christina urged. They all chuckled and awaited her to continue.

" Wait you're not dying are you, cuz I hope we're getting left the house." Alex joked cheekily. Izzie swatted him with a towel.

" Yeah like she'd leave it to you." Izzie replied. " She'd leave it to us." She grinned referring to her and George, this made Alex start bickering with her.

" I'm pregnant." The bickering stopped. As did all movement. Four shocked faces looked back at her and then turned to one another, more shocked looks passing between them.

" Are you happy about it?" Izzie enquired.

Meredith smiled, despite everything she really was.

" Yes."

" Okay good, then I am so happy for you!" Izzie bounced over to her and started hugging her. Meredith laughed enveloped in the hug.

" It's not mine is it?" George asked half joking.

" No George." Meredith chuckled.

" Well in that case…" he came over and joined Izzie in the hugging.

" Its not mine is it?" Alex also asked.

" We haven't even slept together!"

" I know, just wanted to make everyone sweat." He said grinning. He walked over and hugged her also.

" But dude, I am so not into diapers." The four laughed. And turned to Christina expectantly. She had been watching the scene in stunned silence. She slowly walked over to Meredith and the others backed away a bit.

" You really are happy?"

" I am."

Christina wrapped her in a hug. Meredith relaxed into it. She had been most worried about Christina's reaction but this was much better than expected, she had thought it would take a few days for her to accept it.

" Well then congratulations."

" Okay since you can't drink this calls for celebratory cookies!" Izzie said happily and

went about gathering ingredients, ignoring the groans coming from Christina and Alex. They all went back to chatting and Meredith smiled, happy that it had gone so well.

" Wait. Who's the father?!" George asked and everyone stopped realising this information had not been given.

Meredith stepped into the elevator the next day, feeling unusually happy. She was having a baby and her friends couldn't be more supportive. She had told them that she wasn't sure how she was going to juggle work and a baby and they had all offered their support and said they'd help her work it out. She had been so grateful for this. Just as the elevator doors were about to shut a briefcase stopped them and in walked Derek. Her mcdreamy, looking as dreamy as ever.

" Morning." He greeted.

" Morning." She said happily and went back to her thoughts her smile still clear on her face.

" You're unusually chipper, any particular reason?"

" It's a beautiful day."

" It's raining."

" I know doesn't mean it can't be beautiful."

He frowned a little, wondering what had made her so happy but nodded at her reasoning anyway. He took a moment to observe her. She was looking good. She had put on a little weight but it suited her and there was a certain glow about her. Maybe she has a new boyfriend. He shooed the thought away, it annoyed him, the thought of another man touching her. He had thought her was over Meredith. He thought wrong.

" You look good today. You're – you're glowing." He hesitated not sure if he was over stepping the mark by saying it. Meredith smiled she knew why she was glowing. That old wives tale must be true.

" Thanks." She turned to look at him gazing into his big warm eyes. For a second the world faded away and it felt like it used to. Her eyes travelled down and landed on his lips and for the slightest moment they both thought they might kiss. But then the world came crashing back.

" How's Addison?" Derek looked at her a little confused but went with it.

" Fine. She's fine."

" Good, anything new going on with her?" Meredith enquired, scouring for signs of Addison having told Derek about the baby.

" Umm, I don't think so."

" Okay."

The elevator doors opened and Derek held her gaze for a moment.

" Bye." Meredith walked out.

Addison was not in a good mood. Her new condition meant she couldn't have her daily coffee fix, which meant she could hardly function. She was once again feeling ill today and this practically destroyed any chance of her functioning. But most importantly Derek still didn't know about the baby. She had been hoping he would have noticed or said something but he hadn't. She knew it wasn't really apparent to the world yet – her clothes were a little more snug but no tell tale bump just yet. But Derek was her husband: he was supposed to notice. He always remembered when her period was due and he knew her body like the back of his hand. She had been experiencing morning sickness before she had even realised her period was late and he hadn't even asked if she was sick never mind pregnant! She sighed. Then there was Meredith, they hadn't spoken since the other day and hadn't left things on the best of terms. She knew she should speak to her, try and patch it up as she had become awfully attached to the other woman but she was too frustrated at the moment. She needed an intern for today and couldn't deal with it being Meredith. She saw Karev up ahead being his usual assey self. She smiled wickedly, knowing she would enjoy bossing his ass around all day. She got nearer to him.

" Karev!" she barked. " You're working with me today." She turned on her heel and walked down the hall; happy at the fact he would be trailing behind her with his tail between his legs.

Addison looked at Alex with pure rage. He smirked, sick of her constant pissy attitude all day. He knew she wasn't really annoyed at him but he wasn't going to just let her off.

" Look- " he interrupted her rant. " I know you're knocked up and everything but you really should keep you're hormones in check at work." She narrowed her eyes at him. This was just great more of her dirty laundry for the hospital staff to gossip about.

" I'll go get those labs." He smiled cheekily and her face pained a little. As he walked away he started to feel guilty, he shouldn't have annoyed her more.

Later Addison stood alone in her newborn patients room. She was a tiny little thing, in an incubator till she got bigger, fighting her own little fight to stay alive. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as her hormones went into overdrive and her maternal instincts kicked in. She so badly wanted the small baby to make it. She thought of her husband and felt warm inside. She still loved him so very much. She prayed he would be happy about this baby, this baby that she had wanted for so long. She knew he would say he was happy and hug her and talk about all the things he would do with the baby. Because that's who Derek was, a good guy. But she feared was what he wouldn't say. That he didn't want a baby, at least not with an adulterous bitch like her. She let out a shaky breath and closed her eyes. She had to stop thinking like this, she had to just tell him and see what would happen. Alex walked past the baby's room and saw Addison next to her incubator. He thought about walking away but something made him walk into the room. He silently opened the door and stepped him. He heard her sniff and realised she was crying. He stood rooted to the spot unaware of what to do. Then he was reaching out and laying his hand softly on her back. She got a fright and froze and he bent forward a little to see her face, his own filled with genuine concern. She looked down and frantically wiped her face – hating anyone to see her cry.

" Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He said softly and very quietly.

" Yeah right, there's nothing you interns love more than to gossip about my sad excuse for a life."

His face sadden more so.

" I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have said what I said. I just find it difficult when people are upset and generally say jerky things but I honestly didn't mean it."

She contemplated what he said for a moment. Huh who knew Karev had feelings? This wasn't strictly true, she had noticed through working with him that he did have a good heart; he just had a foul mouth.

" Apology accepted." And she sniffed a little more. She realised his hand was still on her back, she didn't shrug him off, it was warm and this comforted her.

" So what's bothering you?"

" Nothing really, I'm fine, you should just go home." She turned back to the baby and more tears fell against her will. He gripped her chin with his fingers and turned her around to face him. She sighed.

" I'm not going anywhere." He searched her face, his eyes seeming to go right into her soul.

" Its that husband of yours right? He doesn't deserve you." She looked up at him.

" He hasn't noticed that I'm pregnant, I just want him to notice."

" I don't know how he couldn't have, you've never looked more beautiful." Her heart started to beat faster; it had felt like a lifetime since anyone had called her beautiful. His hand cupped her cheek and her heart rattled around her chest. She had an overwhelming urge to kiss him. She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his hand.

" You should go." She whispered.

Meredith walked the halls, still very happy. This was a record for her. She took out her cell and dialled Finn's number. She had dated him after Derek but had broken it with him, only having called him a couple of weeks ago to start things up again. She hadn't exactly filled him in on her knew condition yet, though thought he was starting to catch on. But for now she had a prom to invite him to. The line clicked as he answered the phone.

" Hey beautiful."

" Will you go to the prom with me?"

Addison stood by the surgery board, wondering when best to fit her patient's c-section in. Derek walked up behind her and whispered him her ear " Will you go to the prom with me?" she turned to face him and grinned.

" Mm that depends are you just trying to get lucky?" She leaned in and kissed him on the lips. I'll tell him at prom. What a cliché.

Meredith spotted the person she was looking for and cautiously walked towards her. Addison was scribbling away on her chart.

" Wanna go prom dress shopping?" she asked hopefully, a sheepish look on her face. Addison looked up at her.

" I'm sorry about everything." She paused searching Addison's face for any signs of forgiveness. " Truce?"

Derek couldn't breathe. Meredith strutted down the steps towards the prom and simply took his breath away. She looked up and caught his eye for a moment, before looking away to continue down the stairs. Addison approached him with a drink and he was pleasantly surprised. There was no denying his wife was beautiful but she looked stunning this evening.

" Thanks. You look…"

" Fat? Geeky, nerdy…"

" You certainly do not look fat. You're stunning" He slid a hand across her stomach and melted she at his touch. He was touching their baby, except he just didn't know that yet.

" Though maybe a little nerdy…" he said as he leaned into her mouth for a kiss. She laughed.

" Shut up." This was certainly looking to be a better night than her high school prom.

" Derek." She started.

" You wanna dance?" He cut her off, smiling down at her dreamily.

" Yeah." He led her off to the dance floor. " So how do you feel about Star Wars?" He joked with her referring to the story of her own prom

Meredith had entered the prom to a drooling Finn. Drooling no doubt because of her new pregnancy boobs. Not that she was complaining. She liked the new assets; she may as well enjoy them before her stomach expanded so much he couldn't see her feet and her breasts were changed forever. Finn had led her onto the dance floor and they happily slow danced.

Meredith and Derek found each other's eyes through the crowd and held their gaze for what seemed like the longest time. A thousand words silently passed between them. They both made their excuses to their spouses and tore away from the dance floor. They both promised to be right back.

Meredith ran down the hall. Derek followed.

" Meredith!" he called.

She ran into an empty exam room.

" Stop looking at me! I can't have you looking at me like that Finn has plans! And I like him and you have a wife!"

" Don't you think I know that?"

He edged closer to her. They were almost touching.

" Addison needs you right now."

He leapt forward and started kissing her. She just stood shocked for a second. No! Her mind screamed. She needed to stop this, to end this kiss. Then she was kissing him back and he was touching her everywhere and she was powerless to stop him. Her hands were in his hair as he kissed her neck. Then he was pulling down her panties and it didn't even register in her brain. She wanted this. She couldn't breathe it felt so right. His hand travelled up her thigh and a light bulb went on. She had to stop this now.

" Derek." She breathed. " Stop…no stop." He continued to kiss her. She knew what he was going to do next; she couldn't let that happen.

" Please. Stop!" she said it more forcefully now and he knew she meant it.

She jumped off the bed and ran her hand through her hair.

" You need to go back to Addison now and pretend this never happened." She walked out of the room. Callie saw this and wondered what Meredith had been doing in there. A few minutes later Derek followed. It all became clear Meredith had been doing McDreamy.

Meredith walked back into the prom a little flustered, looking for Finn. She spotted him with Addison and grumbled at the fact that fate really hated her. She walked over to them and plastered a fake smile on her face.

" Hey." She greeted. Addison smiled at her.

" Feeling better?" Finn enquired.

" Yeah much."

Derek started making his way towards them.

" Everything all right?" Addison enquired for herself, going into doctor mode. Meredith was grateful for Addison being distracted by that rather than getting suspicious at her and Derek both being away.

" Everything's great. She smiled.

" Lets go get some punch." She said to Finn. " Enjoy your evening." She said to Addison unable to look at Derek, leading Finn away.

" Everything okay with your patient?"

" Yep, fine."

" Honey, there's something I have to tell you."

" Honey? It must be serious." He smiled jokingly.

" I'm pregnant."

Derek looked shocked. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. Addison gazed at him worriedly.

" Wow…" he couldn't function; he hadn't been expecting this. He used all his strength to muster a smile.

" This is great darling." He kissed her and then wrapped her in a huge hug. She relaxed and smiled, this had gone well. She was so relieved. Derek hugged her for a long time; he never knew it was possible to feel this guilty. He gulped. This was going to be a long night.
