Okay, here's the next part. I already got the first couple of parts in my head so the first updates will be kinda quick. Tell me what you think.
Oh, and, I've been thinking of ending it without merder… It'd end… Well I can't tell you. But, you guys vote. It'd still be a happy ending.

"So, Derek got you pregnant?" Addison asked as she got the ultra sound ready for Meredith.
"Yup, I'm three months," she told him.
"He doesn't know, does he?" Addison continued.
"Nope. I went to tell him. He said he kissed a nurse. I ran away. Christina, Izzie, George, Alex, and Chief are the only ones that know. So, don't say anything if you have contact with Mark or Derek," Meredith warned her.
"I haven't had with anyone since I left, Grey," Addison informed her.
"Not even Mark. I thought he'd try to contact. He seemed upset after you left. Derek just said he was suffering a sex deficiency," she shrugged.
"Nah," Addison shook her. Deciding to change the subject, she continued, "So, I'm guessing you are planning on keeping this baby."
"Well, giving birth to it, yeah. But, I've been thinking about adoption. That whole dark-and-twisty thing might be a problem. I haven't decided," Meredith answered.
"Uh-huh, look Grey, this is going to be weird. But, I do think you could be a good mom. Yeah, I know you have you're mommy problems, but I think that'd just help with you becoming a better mom. And, if you do decide on adoption, I may look into it. At least then you know the mom and all. I know, it's weird to adopt your ex-husband's and his mistress's baby," Addison said shrugging. For some reason, she found that she did not hate Meredith. Maybe it was because they found a connection now or something, but she just didn't.
"Well, if I do keep it, would it be weird for the mistress to ask ex-wife for help?" Meredith asked. Addison was the only person here she knew, and lord knows she'd need help with this baby.
"The ex-wife offered to adopt the baby. I think we've moved past that point," Addison replied.
"Good. 'Cause I don't have a person here. Christina's still my person but I need another person and at least now I have a baby person," Meredith started rambling again.
"Grey, you are doing it, again," Addison informed her. Addison went quiet for a second looking at the screen, "Okay, everything is looking good. I'll need you back here in a month and we should be able to tell the sex of you're baby."
"Thanks Dr. Montgomery," Meredith said as she turned and made her way to the front to set up another appointment.
Another month. Another month had passed. It'd been three months since he'd last seen her. It'd been a month since he'd even tried to get any information about her out of her friends. It'd been a month since he'd even heard anything about her from anyone.
He'd over heard Christina saying something about her. Something about her having a person there but telling Christina she was still her number one person and she just needed two persons. That she'd still call Christina about a dead body.
He was surprised Christina hadn't had to call her about a dead body. His dead body. If looks could kill, he'd be six feet under. The glares have slowly begun to stop. They still only talk to him when they have too, but no surprise there. He had a feeling that it was going to stay like.
Shift. Shift. Shift. Watch. Shift. Secretary. Shift. Glare. Sigh. Start over.
She hated these chairs. She could never get comfortable in them. This time, instead of odd glances, she was receiving glares from the very unhappy secretary. Not that she should be shifting. She had nothing to worry about. She knew her doctor and her doctor didn't hate her.
Her doctor was even her baby person. Her here person. For when Christina couldn't fly down to get wasted. Not that she could get wasted anyways. She was pregnant. That's a big no-no. She wouldn't even be able to get wasted after her pregnancy was over. You can't get wasted when you have a baby to take care of. Unless, Addison watches the baby when she needs to get wasted. But, then whom would she get wasted with?
Well, guess it wouldn't matter then. She had decided she wanted to keep her baby. And, when you decide to keep a baby it kind of comes with it that you're deciding to take care of the baby. That's just how it works. She's having a baby. She's keeping the baby. She's going to take care of the baby. And, she's going to love the baby. She thinks she already loves this baby.
Though, it would be nice to have her gang around to help her with the baby. Izzie had helped her with the pregnancy so far. She'd been pregnant once. They had even talked about adoption. That even though Izzie knew she made the right choice then, when she saw her daughter a few months ago she couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to raise her. And, Meredith was sure she was making the right choice in keeping the baby. She just was and she just knew it.
"Meredith, are you ready to find out whether you are having a boy or girl?" Addison approached, once again receiving a very grateful look from the secretary.
"Hey Addison. And, yes, I am so tired of saying 'the baby,'" Meredith replied as she stood up. She still had a relatively small bump compared to what it would be.
"So, how have you been doing this week, Meredith?" Addison asked as she got the machine ready. They were past 'Grey' and 'Dr. Montgomery.' They had just talked a week ago when Addison came over for coffee, even though Meredith just had hot chocolate.
"A guy got his ear cut off in a revolving door. It got caught somehow and it was off. What people can accomplish," Meredith answered about her latest surgery.
Addison shook her head, "I must say, sometimes I do find myself craving the craziness of the hospital. Are you still not talking to anyone?"
"Nope. Not yet. Truthfully, I'm not sure if I'll start missing Seattle too much and head back after the birth. Not to leave my baby person or anything, I'd still bring the baby to visit and all. It's just… It's Seattle," Meredith tried to explain.
"You see I came because I thought I had nothing left. You left to get away from the one thing you lost. I can think of four really good reasons right off the top of my head that you'd want to go back. And, so far, only two that's keeping you here," Addison told her. "Now, about that baby."
"Boy or girl?" Meredith asked, the excitement written clearly across her face and flooding her voice.
"Look's like you are going to have a boy," Addison told her with a smile. "Now, would you like to make the phone call?"
Meredith pulled out her phone and dialed the number to her old house, knowing Izzie, Alex, and George still lived there, "Izzie? Is everyone there, including Christina?"
"Yup, it's just us four. Did you find out the gender of the baby?" Izzie asked and Meredith heard the beep informing her she had been put on speaker.
"Oh good, the McBaby is going to have a McGender," Christina's voice came through the line.
Meredith smiled. Christina had started calling it McBaby before she'd even left Seattle and it kind of stuck since they don't have a name. She took a deep breath, "McBaby is going to be a boy!"
Addison stood back and let Meredith finish up her phone call. Yup, she'd have four very good reasons to return.
Good or bad installment? Review for the next part… Which I pretty much already have in my head. And yes, Meredith and Addison friends. They have a connection now.
Up next: A little insight on the next 5 months from Mer and Der. Including a McBaby and an appearance from Christina. Unless ya'll think I should hold that off… Seems like the next logical step to me.
