40 Weeks


Hey! So, thanks for the reviews, the proposal went ok, This chapter is Monday and maybe Tuesday, which is Week 4! Its moving pretty quickly. I'm excited to see what happens next, because I don't know! Haha, anyways, please keep reviewing and I will keep writing!

A/N: I don't own Grey's Anatomy and probably never will. No Addison, don't like her. She is back in New York with Mark, or maybe she and him jumped off a cliff. Whatever floats your boat.

Week 4

Meredith and Cristina walked down the hall on Monday morning, early. Their rounds started at 4:00 am, and they were not excited to be up and at it that early. Finishing up, they walked down the hall.

"I cant believe you are actually engaged. Not to mention you didn't tell me." Meredith remarked.

"Well, we just made the announcement Saturday night. And me, you Meredith Grey, I will never commit is engaged? No more one night stands for you." Cristina joked back.

"Hey, I'm in love now. It's a totally different ball game from the lonely medical school student that I was."

"Well, that could be good."

"I think its very good."

"What does your mother think?"

"My mother?"

"Ellis Grey. You know, the one you grew up with, your mom."

"Yeah, I- uh. I haven't told her."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I guess I will eventually."

"Oh."

Walking up to the nursery window, Meredith took her usual place of gazing into the room filled with babies.

"You come here a lot."

"Yeah, I do. it's a good place to think."

"Yeah. I know, that's how I am too."

"You come here?" Meredith asked, turning to look at Cristina.

"Yeah. A lot at night, when I cant get any sleep in the on-call rooms."

"You?"

Cristina laughed. "Yeah. I like to think of, you know, what would have happened if.."

"You hadn't lost the baby."

"Yeah. But Burke and I are engaged, and when the time is right, we'll try, and it wont even be an accident."

A wave of nausea hit Meredith again, and she stumbled back to the chair behind her.

"You okay Meredith?" Cristina asked, concerned.

"Yeah. Yeah. Totally fine. Just a little sick."

"You've been sick for almost two weeks. Should you get checked out?"

"No, really I'm fine. I'm an intern. Its probably just stress."

"Or, something else."

"Yeah, like what Cristina, stress and liquor don't mix."

"Yeah, this may be a little personal, is there any chance you could be pregnant? Because this was how I was, throwing up a little but nauseous all the time. Like the flu."

"No, there's no way. Derek and I are always careful. Always."

"So were Burke and I. Do you wear a condom?"

"Yes. And birth control."

"You probably don't need to worry, but its always a good idea to take a test just in case."

"Yeah, I guess. I just don't think its possible."

"Well, you never know."

"I never know. This always happens to me, we're doing this program, starting in two hours. I cant be pregnant."

"Well, maybe you're not."

"I'm jinxed, I know I am."

"You're engaged, it cant be that bad."

"I'm engaged. I'm celebrating one thing at a time."

"Well, the more the merrier, especially with celebrations."

Meredith rolled her eyes.

"Listen, whenever you wanna take the test, I'll go with you."

"When did you become so shrink like?"

"Its Burke. He's corrupting me."

The women laughed.

"I'll take it at lunch, meet me in the supply closet."

"Okay."

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning Derek." Meredith greeted him at 6:00 am on the way to prep a patient for brain surgery.

"Missed you last night."

"I know, I know, Izzie was cooking and then I fell asleep, and I just had a very long day."

"Don't worry babe, I'm not mad. We didn't even have plans. Speaking of plans, do you wanna get together tomorrow night, since we're both on call tonight?"

"I would love that. Especially since we're engaged."

"Derek, did you tell your folks we're engaged?"

"Not yet, I have four sisters though, they'll be thrilled to find out."

"Yeah. When do you think you'll tell them?"

"Well, actually, I was thinking you and I have time off coming up, and we could go to New York for the weekend and tell them"

"Oh la la. That sounds fabulous. When do we have time off?"

"Three weeks. We have a three day weekend."

"Oh, I can't wait. I love New York."

"Oh, I thought you were a Boston girl." He smiled.

"Don't worry, I am, But I have a big thing for New York. I love the atmosphere."

"well, you'll fit right in gorgous."

"Yeah, yeah yeah."

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Meredith sat in the supply closet with Cristina around lunchtime.

"Should we really do this? Seriously, I don't even want to know."

"Meredith, no we don't. But don't you wanna know either way?"

"Yeah, I suppose. But not really. This could mean big changes."

"Didn't anyone tell you that change can be good?"

"No. I am a pessimist. Change is bad. Bad, bad, bad."

"Meredith, quit being a baby."

"Baby? Don't remind me."

Cristina glared at Meredith.

"Fine, hand me the test, I'm going to the bathroom."

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

10 Minutes Later

"Its been ten minutes Meredith." Cristina said gently.

"Yeah I know."

Suddenly, Meredith's pager went off.

"Oh, look, I have a patient."

"Meredith, just look at the test."

"I don't want to."

"Do you want me to look at it?"

"Yeah, that would be better."

"Okay. Take a deep breath." Cristina said as she walked over to the bathroom sink.

"Congratulations. You and Derek are gonna be parents."

"I'm pregnant?"

"That would be why you are going to be parents."

"Shit."

"Shit?"

"Crap. I don't know. God, are you sure?"

"There's a little blue plus sign."

"Let me see."

Cristina handed her the test.

"It is blue. Crap."

Meredith's pager went off again, and she grabbed the test from Cristiana.

"I gotta go."

She stuck the test into her pocket and dashed out.

Cristina sat back down.

"God. Meredith's gonna be a mom."

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

"Hey babe." Derek said as he walked briskly down the hall.

"You paged?"

"Yeah. Emergency surgery. And you, my pet, get to scrub in."

"Awesome. When did I become your pet?"

"I don't know, you know you love it."

"Whatever." Meredith said as she hurried passed him.

'Whats her problem?' Derek wondered.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

'I'm pregnant.' Meredith thought as she held the suction for Derek.

"Dr. Grey, is everything ok?" Derek asked as her hands were shaking.

"Yeah. Its fine. I'm tired though."

"Oh, yeah. I'm pretty tired too."

"Well, you have tomorrow night off. We could relax."

Meredith blushed. Hadnt they done enough damage?

"Sounds great Derek." She smiled at him, trying to be as normal sounding as possible. How was she going to tell him? They had just gotten engaged.

"Scalpel."

"Dr. Grey," Derek started, acting more professional. "Can I talk to you after the surgery?"

"Sure Dr. Sheperd."
