School had finished for Meredith; she was finally out of high school, Derek was grateful, now he could be with her whenever and wherever, they were having a baby together. But yet they still had not told anyone. The only one who knew about the pregnancy was Christina.
Meredith was lying on her bed listening to her iPod. Derek was out for the afternoon catching up with an old friend. She wasn't sure who, but she had heard him talking on the phone and heard him say the name Preston.
It had been 3 months since she had found out she was pregnant, she was now in her second trimester. It had been a rough time for her. Derek was there and supporting her but she felt like this was a mistake. Her body didn't like pregnancy. Throwing up 3-4 times a day was not Meredith' idea of a fun time. Stomaching food was never easy. Luckily coming out of her first trimester, it was starting to ease up.
Worry played on her mind; she knew she would really start to show soon. Her frame was tiny so she knew she would show earlier than most people.
Night time broke and Meredith got up to go and see if Derek had gotten home. She headed down stairs and out the back door. Her mother wasn't home; again. This suited her at the moment. She was pregnant and grumpy and did not need questions.
She reached Derek's house and knocked lightly on the door.
As the door opened and a face appeared, it was clear that it was not Derek.
'Um hi' She smiled politely not sure who the person was
'Hi' He grinned
'Is Derek here?' Meredith asked
'Yeah he is, he is just in the shower'
'Oh ok, well could you tell him I stopped by'
'Preston' the man said and held out his hand
'Meredith' she said following suit
'You could come in and wait, he shouldn't be long' Preston ushered his arm to let her in.
'Oh I don't want to intrude' Meredith hesitated
'You won't be Meredith; I was just about to leave anyway'
'Ok' Meredith smiled and entered Derek's place. She walked into the lounge and took a seat on the couch. A smile appeared on her lip as she remembered the fist time her and Derek kissed on this couch.
'So you and Derek, having a baby, that's a big step' Preston stated as he followed her into the lounge.
'He told you?'
'Yes, Derek and I have been friends for years. I'm happy for him.'
'Oh'
'Meredith' Derek grinned as her entered the lounge. His hair was wet and combed. Meredith's heart still raced when she looked at him.
'Hey' she grinned and walked up to Derek
They shared a small kiss, Meredith stepping back and sitting back down. She enjoyed sitting the last couple of months. Pregnancy had taken its toll on her body. And she got tired very quickly.
'So you meet Preston' Derek beamed
'Uh yes, he let me in'
'How was your day baby?' he moved over to her and sat next to her
'It was ok, a bit boring, but I only threw up once' she laughed lightly
'That's great' he said and moving his hand to her belly. He started rubbing it and moved his face down to it 'How's my boy?'
Meredith laughed and swatted his hand away 'It's going to be a girl Derek'
'That's what you think, but me and my boy have an understanding'
'Oh really' she laughed
They were in there own little world. Meredith was hesitant about this baby but Derek always made her smile when he talked about it and rubbed her baby bump.
'Ok guys, I'm going to take off' Preston spoke up
'Ok Preston, it was good to catch up' He smiled and they gave a quick hug to each other
'It was nice meeting you Meredith and good luck, I will see you around'
'Yeah nice meeting you to' She smiled
The next day Derek left for school, It was strange for him to be going to the place where he had fell in love with his student. He didn't think of her like that but that's exactly what had happened.
He was driving his normal route that he always did, he had left Meredith sound asleep in bed. He often watched her snore away. For such a tiny person she sure carried a lot of noise.
Derek stopped at an intersection when his cell phone violently rang form his bag. He reached over and pulled it out. It was not a number he recognised. Slowing his car down he flipped it open. For some reason her had a bad feeling.
'Derek speaking'
'Derek it Christina'
Derek's breath hitched up in his throat, why was Christina calling him, he knew she was Meredith best friend
'What is it Christina?' He stumbled getting his words out
'It's Meredith'
'Meredith' He copied what she had said. He could feel tears prickling his eyes, she hadn't even told him what was wrong yet he knew.
'She, she um'
'CHRISTINA, just tell me'
'Sorry' she whispered 'she just called me and im on my way over. She is bleeding, and pretty badly'
'Bleeding where?'
'Where do you think' Christina snapped
Derek's body went rigid and his mind went numb. The baby. She was bleeding and she was carrying there baby. He may loose his precious baby.
He swung the car around in one swift motion and slammed his foot on the accelerator and speed back to see her.
