** For those who already read this chapter, I'm reposting it since it's not showing up as updated. I guess it doesn't show as updated if you post a chapter less than 24 hours than the last one, which is stupid in my opinion. Anyways, enjoy!
"Cristina, just tell me I have nothing to worry about."
"You have nothing to worry about." She said. "But you're probably pregnant."
"Cristina!" Meredith exclaimed.
"Hey, if you're late. Just take a test and find out."
"What if I am?"
"Then you're going to have a McBaby."
"I'm not pregnant." Meredith said. "I can't be. We're like a condom ad. We always use condoms."
"Then you're simply late and nothing else."
"But what if the condom was defective and broke?"
"Mer, just take a stupid test." Cristina said. "Worse case scenario is you are."
"And then how would Derek react?"
"Who knows. Maybe he'll be supportive."
"I know he wants kids; he made a stupid comment saying we'd make cute babies. But he didn't mean now; like in the future if we got married."
"Then big whoops. It happened sooner than expected. Derek will be supportive. You said he's building a house. I bet he's building it for his future with you."
Meredith looked at the time on her phone. "I should get back to the cafe. I have to do more job interviews."
"Ew. I'm happy I don't have to suffer through that."
Meredith went to The Village Cafe, and placed her purse in the back room in the safe. She got a coffee and sat down at one of the tables with her notebook so she can take note on all the applicants she'll interview.
Meredith had twenty more people to interview, coming to a total of forty she interviewed for the day. She was happy when she was finally on the last applicant, because that meant she'd be able to go home, and that's all she wants now.
"Thank you. We'll be in touch." Meredith smiled.
On the way home, Meredith stopped at a drug store and bought a pregnancy test just so she can know, and possibly relax if she's not. She didn't take the test immediately because she was nervous. Instead, Meredith started the bath and got in, trying to figure things out.
After an hour in the tub, Meredith got out, and got into her pajamas. She looked at the clock and saw Derek would be off from work soon. She took the pregnancy test out of its box, and Meredith nervously peed on the stick.
Meredith placed the stick on her bathroom counter and waited, what seemed like the longest minute of her life, for the answer. When the minute came, she nervously picked up the test and saw a positive blue plus symbol.
Meredith's eyes widened. "No, this can't be right."
Meredith heard the front door open and closed. Derek is back. She quickly hid the pregnancy stick and box so he wouldn't see it. Meredith took a deep breath and greeted Derek as he was half way up the stairs.
"Hi."
"What are you up to?" Derek asked, giving her a kiss on her cheek.
"Just got out of the bath."
Derek frowned. "Should had waited until I got home; could had taken it together. That would had been fun."
"I'm sure it would had been." She smiled.
The following day, Meredith went over to the hospital to talk to Cristina. She made sure Derek didn't know she was there.
"It has to be a false positive, right? Tell me it's a false positive, Cristina." Meredith said.
"Why did you only take one? That's stupid."
"Because I'm scared. Can you just do a blood test so I can know for sure?"
"Well come on, preggo. Let's go down to the free clinic then and confirm you got a McBaby in you." She laughed.
"You're just enjoying this so much."
"I really am."
It didn't take long for Cristina to get the results back. Meredith was nervous to here it, though she had a pretty good idea what the results were going to say. She just doesn't want to hear it.
"So?"
"You better start praying that baby will get his hair." Cristina joked.
"Are you serious? Like fucking serious?" Meredith snatched the results from her. "Well fuck!"
"You don't have to have this baby, you know that, right? Abortion is always an option."
"Just fuck me."
"I think that's how you got into this situation in the first place." She pointed out with a laugh.
Meredith glared at her friend. "You're not helping."
"Are you going to tell him?"
"I don't know what I'm going to do. I have so much going on in my life, and having a baby is the last thing I should be doing right now."
"Well good luck."
Meredith sighed. "Yeah, I'm going to need more than that."
Meredith went home and sat on the couch looking over her applicants she interviewed the day before. But she couldn't focus because all she could think about was the baby. How could she be pregnant? What is she going to do? What is Derek going to say?
"Just why did this have to happen?"
Thanks for reading! Just three more chapters left, and I should have this finished by the end of this week unless I want to make you wait for the final chapter since I mentioned before it's an epilogue after a cliff hanger :p
Okay, now I'm going to continue to write my sequel to 'Accidental Life' since I'm just bored in my dorm room.
