Chapt 14

Once Meredith heard where Lexie went she knew exactly where she was. She immediately got on the phone.

"Hello."

"Hey Marci, I know she's there. Will she talk to me?"

"I don't know Mere. Let me call you right back. I'll talk to her okay?"

"Please."

It was a very long ten minutes when Meredith's phone rang.

"Marce?"

"It's Lex." she said softly.

"Oh God Lexie, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for all that to happen."

"Look, I just needed a couple of days to get my head cleared. I will be back soon."

"You're not going to um.."

"Abort the baby?"

"Yeah?" Meredith said softly.

"NO. I could never do that Mere. What Mark and I had believe it or not was true beautiful love between us. Our love made this child. I could never get rid of a piece of Mark."

"Good. I mean I'm glad."

"I wasn't ready for him to know yet not with everything going on with Addison."

"I understand. Um.. do you know when you are coming back?"

"I'll be back on Sunday, but Mere, I'm going to be moving out. I need to be around people I can trust and I don't trust you anymore. You and Arizona let me down. I understand that you two are wrapped in your own love lives but I'm your sister and she was my best friend. If I can't trust you two than who do I trust?"

"I'm so sorry Lex. I swear to you we won't let you down again."

"Well words are easy Mere. But we can take it slow. I mean you are going to be my baby's aunt and let's face it, Ari is the only one I want to be my baby's godmother. But it's going to take time. Please don't come to me. I will come to you when I'm ready."

"What about Mark?"

"Mere, I love Mark so much it hurts. But I don't want to ruin his life. He already has one baby on the way and he's trying to become a doctor. If I add to it his life will be ruined."

"Lex, Addison had an abortion. Besides she told Mark the baby was probably some other guys."

"Oh God. How is Mark?'

"He's wanting desperately to talk to you."

"No, I'm not ready for that yet. I gotta go." then Lexie hung up the phone.

"What did she say?" Mark asked immediately.

"She said she will be back on Sunday. She doesn't want anyone to come to her she said. She will come to us when she's ready."

"What about the baby" Marked asked.

"She said she could never get rid of a baby that was made out of the love you and she shared."

Mark breathed a sigh of relief then he tensed with the words Meredith said next.

"But she says she doesn't want to ruin your life. She wants you to make sure you become a doctor and she said a baby would not allow you to do that."

"That's ridiculous. What about her becoming a doctor?"

"She still plans on going to school." Meredith said.

"I have to see her. I have to talk to her in person. Tell her how much I love her."

"She knows Mark." Arizona said.

"So you are going back?" Marci asked.

"Yeah, I need to get ready for school."

"Lex, let them help. It's his child too."

"I know. It just hurts so badly to see him when I can't be with him and being with him is the worse thing I could do to him."

"I guess you know best." Marci said. "But if you want my opinion let him help you."

"I will think about what you said. Come on take me back to the airport."

"You are not going to tell them you are coming back early?"
"No, I need those days by myself."

"Okay then. Let's go."

On the flight back she realized it was Kepner that had told them where she was. Did this mean she couldn't trust her either? Or did it mean they were all like her and only trying to help her. She didn't know yet but the one thing she did know was she wasn't telling anyone she was back. Not yet.

This was a rather shorter one then most but tired after a long night of working. Hope you enjoy. Let me know if you want them together right away or some more drama between them all.
