Author's note: Although I'm an Addison fan, (sorry, guys) this is dedicated to Meredith/Derek fans.
Meredith looked around her new unfamiliar place. This would be home for her. A new start, a new life, a place where she would be free of him. She thought about that one night, that one special night they had been together which she hadn't known it then, but their last night together. Memories of him filled her head. It was hers to keep and no one could ever take that away from her.
Meredith sat quietly deep in thought in front of her fireplace which was the only light that illuminated her darkened living room. She let out a loud sigh as she closed her eyes tightly and reminisced of the recent events in her life. She missed her friends, Izzie, George and Christina. But, she had no choice but to leave Seattle. Now she was all alone, in a new place to start a new beginning for herself and her unborn child.
How could she let it happen? How could she, in this day and age of birth control gotten herself in this predicament? Milk was now added to her weekly grocery list.
"Me, Meredith Grey, single, alone and with child," she said out loud as if talking to someone other than to herself.
She knew the signs, the irritability, mood swings and the nauseousness in the mornings. Lightly running her fingers across her stomach, she felt a warm sensation through her body and the soft patter in her heart for the sudden love she could feel for her unborn child.
Meredith had made the decision to leave the state and kept her little secret all to herself. How could she have told Derek that she was pregnant with his child. He chose Addison over her, how could she possibly tell him. She had this scenario in her head of his reaction. When they were together, they've never talked about having children, nothing was ever said about a future. Their future together. Of course not, he hadn't thought about it, only because there was one obstacle that stood in the way. His wife.
