AN: I'm happy you liked the first chapter. This fanfic just want I wanted to happen after 13x03, but then 13x04 was a huge disappointment. J

-.-.-

They were standing in the middle of the living room. This conversation was louder than Maggie expected.

"Why? It's not like you're dating someone now, it might be good for you." Maggie said and instantly regretted that she had said "it might be good for you". That wasn't the type of comments that Meredith liked. But on the other hand Maggie knew that Meredith was ready to date, or rather; ready to date Riggs.

Meredith didn't know what to answer, should she stick to her story of not being ready to date, and blame it on the passing of her husband? She knew it was a lie, but maybe it was a lie that Maggie would accept. She really didn't know what to answer, so she just said: "How can you be so sure that I'm not dating?"

"Because you're always here, taking care of your children, or at the hospital, working." Maggie said with crossed arms.

"I could be dating when you're on shift and I'm not, you know?"

"Ok, let's say you're dating. Who is babysitting while you're on your fake dates?"

"Fine Maggie, I'm not dating. Are you happy now?" Meredith was really annoyed with Maggie now. Maybe she should come clean.

"No, but I still think that…" Maggie started when Alex came in.

"What's up?" Alex said and threw himself on the couch. Then he realised the tension in the room. "Are you fighting?"

"Yes" Meredith was quick to answer. "No, I don't know. Maggie is just being really annoying this evening."

"I'm not being annoying; I'm just trying to get Meredith to go on a blind date." Maggie tried to defend herself.

"This seems like a show, should I make some popcorn?" Alex said and tried to lighten the mood.

"No you shouldn't Alex and Maggie is going to stop begging now."

"No I'm not. What if this guy is perfect for you? I think you two would really hit it off."

"I highly doubt that." Now Meredith's voice had lowered.

"Stop it you two." Alex said. "I'm exhausted from a long day at work, I don't want to hear the two of you fighting."

"Fine, I'll let it go. For now…" Maggie said and sat down on the couch.

"Good! So what's for dinner?" Alex asked.

"How about we order in?" Meredith suggested.

They all agreed and Meredith went out of the room to order dinner.

-.-.-

Maggie and Alex were alone in the living room.

"Why are you trying to get your sister to date, when you know that she isn't ready."

"Please Alex. I know the truth, and my guess is you probably do too."

"You mean that you know about her and…"

"…Riggs." She ended his sentence. "Yes I do, he told me."

"Are you trying to get her to admit it?"

"No. I'm trying to get to go on a blind date, with Riggs."

"Ok, now I'm officially confused."

"Riggs told me everything, and of course I'm mad at them, but I feel really bad about it as well. If they both like each other they should be going out."

"And Riggs knows about this plan of yours?"

"Yes. It took a bit of convincing, but he's in. He pointed out that it would be hard to convince Meredith to go on a blind date, which seem to be true."

"It might be a good idea, because Meredith will not admit their relationship until you're walking down the aisle with another man."

"I know. She can be very stubborn. Can you please help?" Maggie begged.

"I'll give it a shot, let me talk to Meredith on my own."

-.-.-

Maggie went to bed soon after dinner. Meredith and Alex were cleaning.

"Mer?"

"Yes?"

"I think you should go on that date." He said with hesitance in his voice.

"Not you too." Meredith said as she rolled her eyes. "You know I can't go on a date with a stranger."

"Why can't you?"

"You know why." She wouldn't even admit it to Alex now.

"Riggs?"

"Yes Riggs."

"Riggs the guy you've turned down at least 10 times now?"

"Alex you know why I did that."

"Then tell her the truth, she only wants what's best for you."

"She would never forgive me."

"Maybe she wouldn't but you have two choices. Tell her the truth or go on this blind date. If you go on the date she'll eventually shut up about it."

"Fine I'll go if she brings it up again."

Alex sent a text to Maggie *Ask her again tomorrow.*

-.-.-
