40 Weeks

Hello! Thank you SO much for all of your reviews! I really enjoy reading them every afternoon! So, I'm really unsure at this point of where I am going to take the story, but now that they are getting engaged, its going to be kind of hard to work in the whole point of the story. Haha. I'm not much of a planner. But here it goes! Please review!

A/N: I do not own Grey's Anatomy. It would be really amazing if I did, I would be pretty popular. Haha. But, I do not. Addison isn't in this story because I do not like her, she is living in New York with Mark.

Week 3

Meredith's eyes opened as a wave of nausea hit her. She looked down and saw Derek's arms wrapped around her. She pondered whether to just get up and head for the bathroom in case she really did throw up, or rather to wait, and hope that it passed. Her clock read 3:48 am. Was it worth waking Derek? He looked so cute when he slept. As the urge to retch got stronger, Meredith pushed Derek's arms off of her waist and grabbed a sheet to wrap around herself.

Derek woke up as Meredith pushed his arms off of her. He finally glanced at the clock, 3:51. It was very early. Meredith wasn't in bed anymore, and he could hear her throwing up from the bathroom. Carefully, he opened the dresser and slid on a pair of sweatpants that he had left at her house. Walking cautiously into the bathroom, he saw that Meredith was sitting on the floor wrapped in a towel, and throwing up everything from the meal they had eaten around 9:00.

Derek didn't quite know what to do except for to grab a rubber band off the counter and a wet washcloth and tie her hair back and help her wipe her mouth. For fifteen minutes, he massaged her back, and when she finally seemed to be doing better, he helped her climb back into bed.

"Thanks." She said with a tired voice and a sleepy smile.

Derek nodded and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep Mer, you'll feel better in the morning. I bet it's just that dinner. Those broiled shrimp didn't look too cooked."

Meredith cringed at the reminder of what she had eaten, and Derek pulled the covers over her.

"I'm sure its just the shrimp." He added again for reassurence.

Little did he know.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

6:00 a.m.

Meredith groaned as the alarm clock went off. She hit snooze and looked over to find Derek gone.

"Derek?" she called.

"He left around 4:30." A voice from the other room called.

Throwing on her robe, Meredith opened the door to see Alex waiting outside with a cup of coffee and a biscuit.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a confused voice.

"I stayed over, Izzie had to go in early and Derek left just as I woke up. He said you had gotten sick earlier."

"Did he tell you to do this?"

"No, I'm trying to work on my bedside manner."

Meredith rolled her eyes and took the coffee.

"Well, thank you. Did Derek say where he was going?"

"Nope, but he left a note to give to you, when you woke up."

"Oh?"

Alex produced the note, and Meredith read it over.

-Mer

I got called in for an emergency surgery. I know that you don't have to be at SGH till 7, so I left biscuits and coffee out, you can heat them up. Frozen grilled cheese? I threw it out of the fridge. Do you actually eat that for breakfast? It looked moldy.  Anyways, I hope you are feeling better, we definitely wont go back to that restaurant. If you aren't feeling up to it, call my cell and I will tell the chief that you are too sick to work. Feel better!

Love,

Derek

Meredith sighed and smiled.

"Where's George?" she asked.

"He and Callie are still in his bedroom. I think he had to be at work at 4:00 for rounds, but I'm not his mother."

"You didn't wake him up!"

"Like I said, I'm not his mother."

"Alex!"

"What?"

Meredith hurried down the hall to George's room, and Alex put her biscuit in his mouth.

"George?" she called into the room.

Knocking again. "George, I'm coming in!"

No answer. Meredith opened the door.

"George?" No one was there.

"ALEX!"

"What?"

"George isn't here!"

"I know."

"You just said he was!"

"I just wanted your biscuit."

Meredith glanced at the empty plate and gave Alex a mock-glare.

"I should have known."

"Yes, you should have. And, now you have officially 53 minutes before you have to give me a ride to work."

Meredith rolled her eyes again and handed him back the coffee.

"I'm getting a shower."
