Chapter Nine: Pregnant
"MEREDITH! SOMEONE HELP!!" Mark was screaming for someone to come help him, he checked her airways and she was breathing but it was weak and she was unconscious.
Derek came running into the room after hearing Mark's calling to find Meredith lying on the floor; Mark was kneeling beside her trying to get her to wake up. "What the hell happened?"
"Derek this really isn't the time for this, one minute we were talking…well fighting and the next she passed out." Mark couldn't understand why this had happened, Meredith was a healthy person, she looked after herself.
Derek quickly inserted a line to pump some fluids through in hope of it being something minor. "What has her health been like? Has she had any symptoms?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen her in 2 weeks, she has seemed okay on the phone, the other day she sounded a little tired and said that she wasn't feeling well but she said it was nothing for me to worry. What's wrong with her?" Mark was getting more frantic by the second; he just wanted her to be okay.
"Mark you need to calm down, I'm going to draw some blood and I will rush through the results, I'm also going to schedule a CT scan and MRI just to be sure."
"Do you think she has told him?" Ellis was hoping that by now Meredith had told Mark about her pregnancy and that all had been forgiven. She knew she had no intention about telling him of her mishap back in New York but she couldn't see her hiding the news of the baby for much longer.
"I'm sure everything will be fine Ellis, and Mark won't stay mad at Meredith for long, he loves her too much, I was unsure of that in the beginning but he has truly made himself worthy of our girl."
Before Ellis could reply the familiar sound of Richard's pager interrupted them.
"It's from Derek; Meredith has passed out, oh god the baby."
Both Richard and Ellis went running from his office toward the room where Meredith and Mark had been talking. They walked in to find Mark sitting beside the bed which Meredith laid upon, he was gently stoking her hand telling her to wake up.
"Mark what happened to my daughter?"
"Ellis, I don't exactly know, one minute we were fighting and the next she started swaying, I caught her before she hit the ground."
"Did she eat this morning?" Richard asked Ellis.
"She was meeting Cristina at the cafeteria so I presume so."
Mark felt like he was missing something as he listened to the Webber's discuss his wife's eating habits. "Is there something I should know?"
Ellis turned to look at Mark. "Meredith wanted to tell you herself but…" Before Ellis was able to tell Mark about the baby Derek entered the room.
"I have the results back from Meredith's blood tests, I'm not sure whether Meredith is aware of this but it seems she won't be needing the MRI or CT."
"Its okay Derek, she knows and so do Ellis and I, Mark here on the other hand is yet to be informed."
"Yet to be informed of what? Meredith is my wife I have a right to know." Mark was beginning to get snappy he just wanted to know what was wrong with Meredith.
Richard looked at Ellis and nodded, he knew it would be best coming from her. "Like I said Mark, she wanted to tell you herself, she was going to as soon as you got here. Mark, Mer is pregnant."
Sorry this one is shorter than others but I really didn't want to start anything else in this chapter.
