Meredith awoke to the sound of Mike moaning in pain. Immediately she jumped up to observe him trying to put his pants on and having little success. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm scaling the Empire State Building. Meredith, I'm putting my pants on so I can go out."
"No."
"No?"
"You should be resting. I know this because people who get hit by cars and have their shoulders separated are to rest."
"We need groceries."
Meredith rolled her eyes and carefully helped Mike into his pants. "I'm too tired to argue with you but I'm coming along."
"I never thought you'd be putting on my pants," Mike said laughing as Meredith knelled on the floor to button up his jeans. "You know if anyone walked in on this they would really take this out of context." Meredith stood up and smiled at Mike, she really did love him and was happy that they were still together. "Is your arm okay? Do you want to take another pain killer before we go?"
"Are you trying to turn me into a drug addict Meredith?"
Meredith smiled and took a hold of Mike's good hand. "Let's go."
"And where do you think you two are going?" Lily asked looking up from the book she was reading on the couch.
"We are going to get some food so you don't starve," Mike said flicking his sister in the nose. "What are you doing today kid?"
"What I do everyday… Try to take over the world!" Lily laughed at her own joke. "I'm going to go to the gym and then maybe go see a movie."
"With Bradley?" Mike said with a goofy smile on his face.
"No, we broke up this morning."
"WHAT! I WILL KILL THAT LITTLE RAT BASTARD! Lil are you okay," Mike took Lily's chin in his hand with his good arm. "Do you want be to kick his ass? Because I will, separated shoulder and all. I'm going to…"
"Mike, stop. It was a mutual break up. I'm fine with it. Go grocery shopping, I'm going to finish my book."
OoOoOoOoOoO
Meredith walked into the feminine care aisle to pick up the usual. Lily mentioned that she needed tampons and as Meredith looked at the many boxes she strayed the where the home pregnancy tests were kept and she began to panic. As her delusions spread she noticed Addison looking in her same direction. ""You and I continue to run into each other in the most awkward places Dr. Grey," Addison said with her usual sly smile. "I just hope that it is Lily's brother and not my husbands, because he's most likely having his own."
Meredith didn't dignify Addison's question with a response. She merely grabbed the first box she could followed by two boxes of tampons and ran off to buy them before she went to find Mike.
"Hey little lady what is in the bag?" Mike asked when he met up with Meredith at the cash.
"Girl stuff," Meredith said ending any questions to follow. As they returned back to Mike's apartment Meredith felt the pit in her stomach forming. She locked herself in the bathroom as soon as she could and opened the box. Laughing at her ridiculousness, she peed on the plastic stick, she was a doctor taking a home pregnancy test, and she was a joke.
