A/N: Okay, this chapter like redefines short chapters, and I'm totally sorry, but I didn't have time to write a longer one, so it's just going to tide you guys over until I get the time to write a long one. REVIEW, please!
Friends
Derek
He's speechless.
Meredith.
His Meredith.
Someone else got her.
Someone else gets to be happy with her.
She's smiling, a little.
"Hi."
Her voice is soft.
"Hi."
His is ragged.
He can't stop looking at her little girl.
She's beautiful.
He wishes she was his.
With Meredith.
"This is Adrienne."
He nods.
The girl looks at him with big eyes.
She's an old soul.
Wise old eyes in a young, childish face.
He clears his throat.
"So are you…Did you…who's the father?"
She looks at him like he's grown another head.
"I don't want to talk about it."
He nods.
"So, you're not…"
"No. And you're not…"
"No."
The silence is awkward.
She turns to leave.
His voice stops her.
"Meredith?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to have lunch with me? As friends."
She smiles.
"Sure. As friends."
A/N: I apologize for the shortness! I'll write fast!
