Hey guys sorry about the long wait. Here Is the new chapter
Meredith paced up and down the girls toilets in her prom dress. She ran her hands through her hair.
'Fuck' she screamed out in frustration
Christina walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder, sympathetically she rubbed it slowly
'It's going to be ok Mer, you don't even know if you are'
Meredith looked up at her. Tears falling on the brim of her eyes. Slowly she moved against the wall and slid down it and rested her head on her knees that were up around her chest.
'No I don't know if I am, but my period is never late and I have not been the that careful if you know what I mean'
Christina took her shoes off and sat next to Meredith on the cold toilet floor, She was her best friend and person and she needed her. This was not going to be good if she was pregnant.
'I didn't even know you were seeing someone' She whispered
Meredith looked up from the floor 'Im sorry, I wanted to tell you but its not exactly the most normal relationship you would think'
'Try me'
Meredith had to tell her. She was sick of keeping it a secret. What she and Derek had was out of this world and her best friend should know about it. And if she was pregnant then she would need her best friend around. She just hoped Christina would understand and support her decision to be with Derek.
'Well I.' She struggled to get words out 'I've been seeing someone I shouldn't. He is older and well…….'
'Mer, Just tell me, spit it out' Christina said getting impatient
'I've been sleeping with Mr Sheppard' She whispered and hesitated to make eye contact with Christina
'WHAT?? AS IN OUR TEACHER MR SHEPPARD?' She yelled and got up off the floor. She started pacing up and down the toilet just like Meredith had previously been doing. She stopped and looked at Meredith still sitting on the floor.
'You have been fucking our teacher? How long?'
'I don't know, around 4 months'
'Shit Mer! And now you might be pregnant with him, what the hell are you going to do?'
Meredith's tears came flooding back and spilt out. She hugged her legs again.
'I don't know Christina, I love him so much and I know I shouldn't and if anyone found out he would loose his job, But I love him and I cant stop. He treats me like no thing else matters, like im his everything. We click and we have from the moment we meet'
Christina was speechless, She just stood there hands on her hips looking at Meredith
'So what the fuck are you going to do if your pregnant Mer, Your mum is going to kill you, and do you really think Derek is going to want to have a baby with his student, Christ Mer'
Meredith sat there in silence tears falling freely. Christina saw how upset she was and immediately felt guilty about the rant she just threw at her. She kneeled beside her and hugged her. Meredith let go of legs and hugged her back.
'It will be ok, Im here for you, we will find out if you are and go from there ok'
'Ok' Meredith choked out through her tears.
The next morning Meredith woke up in an un-familiar place, She looked around the room and realised it was Christina's bedroom. Sitting up she rubbed her eyes and thought back to the night before. It dawned on her the conversation she had with Christina and the fact she may be pregnant. She suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash over and through herself back down on the bad; face into the pillow.
She suddenly heard her phone blearing from her handbag.
Taking it out she saw Derek's name flashing on the screen. 'Shit' she cursed
'Hi' she said flipping the phone open
'Hi Mer' He said back
Silence
'So, you didn't come over last night. Is everything ok?' he asked concerned
Meredith hesitated 'yeah everything is fine. I stayed at Christina's'
'Ok, well how about dinner tonight and a DVD, you can pick and I won't moan and whine' he laughed
'I'm busy tonight sorry, I have a thing' she lied
'A Thing?'
'Yeah just a thing with Christina'
'Are you sure you are ok Mer?'
'Yeah im fines, Ill talk to later ok' she said and hung up not giving him a chance to say anything else. This was not his fault and she felt guilty as hell for lying to him and being very short with him. But she needed to find out the truth before she could face him again.
Meredith and Christina headed to the nearest chemist. They entered and casually started looking around hoping they didn't see anyone they knew. They found the isle where the pregnancy tests lived.
Christina looked at the selection of tests and frowned 'Do people really need this much of a choice just to find out if there up the duff or not, seriously!'
Meredith couldn't help but giggle a little, she felt like shit but Christina always knew how to make her laugh.
'Just pick one already, grab 3' Meredith said and turned around looking at children's nappies and food on the shelf opposite.
Christina grabbed 3 boxes and nudged Meredith's shirt 'Ok let's go'
They quickly went through the checkout and practically ran back to the car.
'So, back to my place?' Christina asked starting up the engine
'No, lets do it at mine; my mum will be at work'
They drove in silence most of the way to Meredith's. Finally Christina looked over at Meredith gazing out the window.
'So…..How did it happen?'
'Which part?'
'All of it'
Meredith sat up straight and turned down the music. 'I accidently knocked into him on his first day at school, and then I found he was my neighbour, we spent time together and we just hit it off. We fell in love, I can't explain it' She trailed off and looked out the window
'Meredith, It seems like you really do have something with McDreamy but you have to think here, What will happen if everyone finds out and what if you are pregnant. Not everyone is going to be as understanding as me'
'I know, I know. But I love him'
Christina pulled into Meredith's driveway and they both got out. They started heading inside when Meredith looked over and Saw Derek coming out of his front door. He saw her and there eyes locked. Meredith quickly broke the gaze and rushed inside.
Derek stood at his car door looking over at where he just saw her. She looked tired and upset. He wanted to go over there and talk to her but he saw Christina with her so knew not to. He would try later.
They got upstairs and into Meredith's room. Christina opened the brown paper bag that the tests were in and pulled one out.
'Here, go' She said to Meredith handing her the test.
Meredith was nervous, What if she was pregnant, She started panicking. Christina realised this and sat her on the bed. She placed her hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.
'Calm down Mer, you can do this, whatever the result we can deal with it'
'Ok' Meredith breathed deeply
She got up and headed to the bathroom. Shutting the door behind her she started opening the test. She pulled out the instructions and started reading.
A couple of minutes later she was peeing on a stick over the toilet. Placing it on the bathroom counter she opened the door and walked back into her bedroom.
'So we wait' Meredith simply said and sat on the bed.
'How long?' Christina asked
'4 minutes'
'Ok well let's go and get a drink'
Just as Meredith was about to agree and get up her phone vibrated from he bag.
Taking it out she flipped it open. It was a text message from Derek
Derek: Hey baby, I hope you're ok. Please talk to me. Love you xx
'McDreamy?' Christina questioned
'Yeah'
Meredith flipped the phone shut and threw it on the bed. And followed Christina out the dor.
They got back 5 minutes later. Meredith went straight to her bed and laid down.
'You check, I just can't' she pleaded to Christina
'Ok' she replied and headed into the bathroom.
Christina walked up to the counter and grabbed the test. Looking down she saw the result. She slowly picked it up and read it over and over just to make sure what it read was right. She looked up and into the mirror and saw Meredith standing there holding herself up in the door frame.
'So?' she asked nervously
Christina turned around and walked up to Meredith and handed her the test.
Meredith looked down and saw the result.
'I need to see Derek' Meredith said clutching the test. And Turned around the headed to Dereks.
