Title: The Sweetest Place on Earth

Summary: Two people leave the hospital tying to escape their past, but what happens when they run into each other. Meredith never chose between Derek and Finn she just couldn't so she didn't chose either. Derek and Addison are divorced. Addison and Mark are together and happy.

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Grey's Anatomy or I would be watching it now. I don't own anything.

Note: The characters are written from their point of views. I thought it would be a good way to get across what they are thinking about Meredith.

One of us

(Thoughts from Cristina, Izzie, George, Alex, Bailey, Addison, Mark, and Ellis about Meredith's secret.)

Cristina:

Wow was all I could think when a very pregnant Meredith and Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd walked through the restaurant door. I couldn't believe Meredith, who is my person and I am hers, didn't tell me until now. I Cristina Yang was utterly pissed at her when I found out that Alex knew. She couldn't tell me but Alex. That was probably what upset me the most.

I wanted to be mad at her but for some reason I couldn't. I was glad she let us help in naming my future "niece" she is going to be special. Probably have all the boys after her. Meredith will probably now marry McDreamy. I am glad that she is no longer dark and twisty Meredith and that she is finally happy with Derek but I wish she would have told me.

The ride up to our hotel room was silent until Burke finally spoke.

"Are we happy about baby Grey-Shepherd or angry?" I was hoping he wouldn't talk to me all day but much like Burke he had to make up right away.

"I guess we can be happy. She did want to tell everyone together in person." I still can't look him in the eye. Meredith probably wants me to make up with him if we had time at all to talk just the two of us. I know blabber mouth Izzie probably told her about the fight. She will probably understand why I did it and be supportive like I was with her hopefully. I don't need another person to fight with. Maybe that is why I am forgiving her so easily.

Izzie:

Oh my God! Meredith and Derek together and having a baby. That's just wow. I can't believe it. Meredith is so happy when she talks about the baby. I am going to be Aunt Izzie. The favorite Aunt who will spoil that little girl rotten we can bake and cook. I can show her everything Mer doesn't know how to do.

"Izz, are you mad at me for not telling you?" Alex asks with his voice full of concern. God I really do love him.

When I first found out that she was pregnant and with McDreamy I was super happy and a little hurt. Then when Alex said he knew I was mad. I know it wasn't his news to tell but still we are engaged. I am not mad at her or anything. I got over that quickly she needs us to be supportive and nice. I guess it wasn't her trying to be mean by not telling us just trying to make it special. I guess it was more special her telling us all together in person that we are getting a niece Lacey or Arielle. Both are beautiful names and it was nice of her to ask us all to help naming the baby. And Derek does seem different he is really in love with her and she is in love with him. If they both still lived in Seattle I don't know if they would still be together we were always preventing them from talking.

"I understand why you couldn't tell me. I just wish Meredith would have told us sooner but she probably wanted it to be special." I am no longer mad at anyone just a little upset but glad that Cristina didn't know either or I would think that everyone else was aloud to know but me.

Alex:

Wow everyone knows Mer's secret now. They weren't to mad at me except Izzie was a little hurt and Cristina was pissed off which can be expected Meredith is her person. I was relieved that Izzie isn't mad at me and I am worried about George but he will get over it. Uncle Alex has a nice ring to it is all I can think about since I found out she was pregnant. I am glad that Derek and Meredith are happy. That is the first time I saw him since I knew she was pregnant and he looks ecstatic and unbelievable in love. I hope Cristina gets over me not telling her soon she is still not talking with Burke fights will probably break out her or back in Seattle. Izzie is so nice not to be mad at me. I thought she would be mad for awhile but she did realize it wasn't my news to tell.

George:

I am mad at Meredith and Derek. I thought I had a chance at winning over Meredith's heart but once again Derek and Meredith are happy. I am mad they didn't tell me about the baby sooner. I hate lying and I feel that they lied to me since she found out she was pregnant and that Derek was here as well. I left the room embarrassed and upset. I hope one day I can forgive her and be happy with someone else. I didn't work with Callie but now I am finally ready to move on from Meredith. I am moving forward with my life and not looking back. Maybe in a couple months I will be happy for her but right now I am mad.

Bailey:

I never thought I would see the day that Meredith Grey would become a mother. I am very happy that she is finally happy with Derek. I knew better than anyone else that they would eventually end up together. They were both so miserable during her internship and I learned more about her sex life than I cared to know. Deep down she is a sweet girl I hope she strives to become a good mother and an excellent doctor.

Ellis:

My daughter is going to be a mother. That is a big thing. I hope she is a better mother than I was. I think now would be a time to try to build a relationship. I was never there for her I should have been but was too obsessed with what new procedure I could come up with to save someone's life. I excelled in surgery and failed as a mother. She was always raised by nannies and never had a parent there for her. I know she can do better for my grandchild. I have never told her before but I am very proud of her and she does have what it takes to be a doctor and a mother. I hope that she and Derek are very happy and raise that daughter to be so special. She chose to have a baby with the love of her life and didn't settle for less like I did. She could have chosen an easier relationship but was brave enough to choose what she wanted.

Addison:

I am jealous of Meredith Grey. I don't even think they noticed me at the restaurant. Derek is so in love with her like I always wanted him to be with me. I don't regret coming or marrying Derek in the past. He found the love of his life and I found mine. I am happy with Mark now. Maybe in the future I will be able to be happy for Meredith and Derek but I don't know. I wish them happiness and hope one day to become friends but right now I am jealous of the way Derek's eyes light up when he looks at her. She is giving him something that I never did a baby. A daughter that Derek always wanted and now he is getting. She is also so much in love with him she is glowing more than most women I see. I don't know why I ever thought Derek and I could work it out when I came to Seattle and saw them together. It never was just an affair for him he wasn't lying he fell into love so quickly and deeply I thought it would go away but never will.

Mark:

The dirty mistresses win again. Meredith and Derek are finally happy. I thank god for that maybe Addison and I can finally be happy if she notices how happy they are. I never thought I would see the day Derek Shepherd would become a father. He was actually glowing talking about the baby and plans they had together. I hope we can become friends again one day. Maybe it was supposed to happen this way for us to be happy. I am glad Meredith is finally happy with Derek. I never thought she was the type to want a baby but people surprise you every day. I also never thought Derek would meet someone knew and get divorced but things happen and people change.

Hopefully another chapter tonight I wanted to get across how her friends and others felt about her pregnancy and Derek.
