Chapter 50: Stressed

The next morning, Meredith had to go back to work. She couldn't afford to take anymore days off for any reason. She had failed in kicking Derek out the night before. Meredith had tried because she wouldn't get any sleep with him in the bed next to her and she ended up being exactly right. Derek had succeeded in keeping her up all night, not that either of them regretted it.

Meredith's alarm went off at 5, and she rolled over Derek to get to the other side of the bed and turn it off. She sat up in bed, completely exhausted, and rubbed her face to try to at least wake herself up a little bit. Derek pulled her back down and rolled over on top of her and started kissing her neck.

"Derek…" she whined, "I have to go to work."

"But I don't, so I think you should just stay here with me."

"I'll be able to do that in a few weeks because it will be summer vacation but I can't take anymore time off. It's also Friday so we'll have the weekend."

"What if I call your boss and tell her that you're too busy having sex with your unbelievably amazing neurosurgeon boyfriend."

"I'm sure she'd take that really well."

Derek just laughed, "Can I drive you to school?"

Meredith showered and got dressed quickly and got in the car with Derek. They talked and laughed during the 15 minute ride to school. Meredith didn't want to leave him in the worst way. After the scare from the other day, she never wanted to let him out of her sight.

She got out of the car and walked around to the driver's side and Derek rolled down the window.

"Have a good day, Ms. Grey."

"You too Dr. Shepherd."

Meredith leaned in to kiss Derek and it got a little deeper than she wanted it to. She desperate didn't want to stop but had to force herself to pull away.

"I'll see you at 3," Meredith said.

"I'll be here."

Derek kissed Meredith's hand, and held on to it as she walked away until she was out of his reach. She went into school with a huge smile on her face. She went and unlocked her classroom, locked her stuff up in one of the desk drawers and headed to her morning staff meeting. One the way down the hall, she ran into Leah.

"Good morning sunshine. You look happy, what's going on?"

"What's going is that the man that I love more than life itself is perfectly okay."

Leah laughed, "Somebody got laid last night."

Meredith just looked at her with a huge grin on her face and continued down the hall to the staff meeting. She could barely concentrate during the meeting, unable to wait until she saw Derek later in the day.

"Meredith?" the principal said, "Earth to Meredith."

After the principal calling her name a few times and feeling like the whole room was staring at her, which they were, Meredith finally came out of her daydream. She was dreaming of being married to Derek, and what it would be like to have his children.

"Yeah? I'm sorry."

"What do you think of a field trip to the local community college for the juniors and seniors?"

"Yeah, I think that's a great idea. I think they could really…benefit from that."

The principal dismissed the meeting and as Meredith was walking out of the room, she lightly grabbed Meredith's elbow and stopped her from leaving.

"Can I see you in my office please, Ms. Grey?"

"Yeah," she said, nervously and followed the principal into her office.

Mrs. Abbott closed the door to her office, offered Meredith a seat and then walked around to the other side of her desk and took a seat herself.

"Meredith, I understand that there has been a lot going on with you recently but I can't have you day dreaming during staff meetings. You've missed a lot recently and your students are preparing for their end of year exams and you need to be serious."

"I'm very sorry Mrs. Abbott. You're right there has been a lot going on, but I promise that it won't get in the way of my teaching."

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear."

Meredith shook the principal's hand and then left her office and went back to her classroom. She hadn't been called into the principal's office since she was in high school and it brought back pretty bad memories of getting in trouble for skipping class or not following the dress code.

During the day, she reviewed with her students for their final exam, gave them an essay assignment and let them do some studying in groups. Meredith was walking around her classroom, checking to make sure that the students were doing their work correctly when she overheard one of their conversations.

"Chris forgot to use a condom…I didn't get my period…If I'm pregnant my mother is going to kill me."

This wasn't the first pregnancy conversation that Meredith had heard at her school, but this one was different. It made her realize that the night that she had cheated on Finn, the thought of using a condom had bypassed the both of them and she was supposed to have gotten her period 2 days ago. She just hadn't realized that she was late because of all the recent drama with her mother and the shooting at the hospital.

The school day finished off uneventful, with her hearing another conversation between the same two students.

"Oh thank goodness, I just got it…I would have been grounded for a million years."

The case wasn't the same for Meredith. She finished grading some papers and left the school at 3. She saw Derek sitting in his Range Rover in the parking lot singing along to some rock and roll song. He saw her coming in the rear view mirror, unlocked the door and turned off the music.

"Hey there, Ms. Grey," he said, leaning over and giving her a kiss.

"Hi Derek," Meredith said, sighing.

"Something wrong?" he asked, starting the car and backing out of the parking spot.

"No."

"You're a terrible liar. What's going on?"

"Nothing, it was just a long day."

"Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened. Final exams equals stressed out students and one very stressed out teacher."

"I know something that will make you a lot less stressed out," he said, moving his hand over onto her thigh.

"I'm too tired for that."

"I didn't mean that," Derek said, chuckling a little, "How about a massage? I give excellent massages."

"Really? I'm intrigued."

"When we get home, you'll just relax and I'll give you one of my famous massages."

"That sounds excellent."

Meredith knew that a massage wouldn't change the fact of her being pregnant or not but it could certainly relax her and take her mind off of things.
