"You paged." the female intern said.

"Yeah, she woke up, she's asking for someone by the name of Derek, but she wouldn't tell me her name." Jeremy told her.

"Someone claimed her." The woman told him.

"Did you get his name by chance?" Jeremy asked her.

"No, but he looks like he could be her boyfriend, or her brother." The girl told him.

"Well lets go get him."Jeremy said

The two interns walked down the halls of Mercy West. He reached the room and the girl pointed him out. Once Derek noticed them he was there as soon as possible.


"Sir, she just woke up and she is asking for someone by the name of Derek? Do you know who that is?" Jeremy asked.

"That's me, I'm her boyfriend." Derek stated.

"Okay, well she and the baby." Jeremy was cut off.

"Baby?"Derek questioned.

"Yes, she is about three days, our hospital has a very good lab so we could do the tests again if that is needed." Jeremy told him.

"No."Derek stated running his fingers through his hair.

"Okay, she was asking for you so follow me and I'm sure that she can go home in a couple hours." Jeremy told him.

Derek followed the two interns down the hall. She was pregnant, she was going to have a baby, his baby. Derek felt warm in side. He was going to be a father. He reached her room, and the doctors walked in. Meredith was sitting up in the bed repeatedly pressing the call button on the bed.


"It's about time you guys get here! I want to leave. I have to call Derek, I have to call Richard, they are probably worried sick about me."Meredith's rambling was cut short, when Derek walked into the room.

Derek walked closer to the bed, Meredith sat there waiting for him to pull her into his arms and tell her that it was okay.

"Please, never let me leave without telling you again."Meredith whispered in his ear.

"Okay."Derek told her as he pulled her away just enough to kiss her.

Meredith walked out of Mercy West her arm bands still dangling on her arm. She held onto Derek's hand for dear life. They got into Derek's tiny little BMW, and drove away.

"Meredith when they ran tests on you, they found out that you are pregnant." Derek told her hoping that she wouldn't blow up on him.

"I was thinking about that when I was on the ferry, I just hoped that maybe, just maybe it wouldn't be true, I mean, I do want to have kids just not right now. Life as an intern is going to be more complicted with a screaming baby."Meredith said hoping Derek wouldn't take it the wrong way.

"I know, but I don't want our baby to grow up in a home of strangers, and I won't let you get an abortion."Derek stated.

"So were going to do this, were going to be parents."Meredith stated.

"Yeah, I think so."Derek was scared now, he was going to bed a dad.


"Its good to know that your okay, I still want you to take the week off. You will return next Sunday." the chief told her.

"Okay." Meredith let out a long sigh.

"Derek, you will also be off for the week, I want you to take care of her." The chief said.

"I will." Derek told them as they left the chiefs office.
