Thank you for the reviews :) I don't own GA

Meredith yawned; it had been a long week. She had been working with Addison all week, which she had initially been surprised with. Since the very public argument between Addison and Derek, things had been even tenser between the two women. But at the beginning of the week Meredith had been the only intern available and Addison reluctantly recruited her. Meredith knew everyone was talking about her, that they all thought she was a home-wrecker. But she was tough skinned and certainly didn't feel the need to justify herself to gossiping nurses. She felt a small twinge in her stomach and took a few deeps breaths knowing it would pass. It had been a regular occurrence the past few days but it was to be expected considering the baby was moving around now. This was something she had first felt at the beginning of the week and like Izzie had said it was truly amazing. Meredith was excited, tomorrow she was getting an ultrasound and the baby would be a lot more developed now.

She headed out of Seattle Grace with a smile, thinking about the prospects of the following day.


The next day lunchtime came and Meredith headed to the interns locker room ready for her appointment. She arrived at her locker only to receive a page from Satan herself. She reluctantly headed back down the hall.

" Grey I need you to scrub in." Addison stated.

" But I'm off this afternoon, I was just heading out."

Addison eyed her annoyed. Surgeons never turned down surgeries: the concept confused them.

" Grey I won't offer again. Besides you know the patient would want you there, they all appreciate the fact that you're pregnant also, it makes them feel safe."

Meredith considered this; she knew it was true it was the only reason she had been with Addison this long. Addison had taken her on the first day as there was no one else but when Meredith proved to be popular with all the patients Addison couldn't very well remove her from her service and so the love rivals had been bound together all week. She hesitated.

" I…I have an ultrasound."

" Oh for god's sake Meredith, you're a doctor you work in a hospital you can get an ultrasound anytime. I mean if all else fails I'll give you one."

Meredith decided to go with it Addison was right, she could get an ultrasound later and soon she'd have a baby to take care of – she may as well scrub into all the surgeries she can right now.


A month had passed and Meredith had, unfortunately still been working with Addison. She had been so tired recently and Addison certainly did not make this any better, making Meredith run all over the hospital at a moments notice. She was convinced Addison was doing it to make her life hell.

Meredith walked in step with Addison while they headed towards a patents room. Suddenly feeling a little dizzy Meredith slowed up and took a moment to lean against a wall. She was so tired today.

Addison noticed Meredith had stopped and turned round annoyed. If Meredith complained of being tired once more! Meredith was young at this stage in pregnancy she should be energetic there was no way Addison was going to go easy on her, she knew Meredith was complaining for nothing.

Meredith clutched her stomach as she felt a slight cramping. Addison didn't say anything but Meredith could tell from her stance she was annoyed. Meredith rolled her eyes; she really didn't care what Addison thought anymore. The cramp subsided and she straightened up and continued down the hall – this time not bothering to get in step with the older woman.

Later that day Meredith walked down the corridor receiving another cramp. She knew the baby had to grow and so her stomach had to stretch but did it have to be so uncomfortable? Addison caught up with her looking for test results. She noticed Meredith's actions.

" Are you alright?"

" Yes." Meredith replied sternly.

" Did you ever get that ultrasound?"

" I haven't had time, I'm always here!"

" Well do you want me to give you one, check everything's alright?" she said seeming genuine.

" You're the one who's constantly rolling her eyes every time I need to much as slow down, mumbling about how this is my most energetic time in pregnancy. Besides I'd rather not have you do it."

Addison looked slightly sad momentarily but nodded in understanding.


The next day Meredith received a call from the gynaecologist. Frowning she answered.

" Hi Dr Grey? This is Dr Stone. It seems you've had an ultrasound overdue for more than a month now. And it's my understanding that you've been experiencing some cramping and excess tiredness? Now while these are common pregnancy symptoms it wouldn't help to check them out once you come in."

" I'm sorry, I'm confused. Where did you get that information?"

" From you boss. She's an idol of mine actually. Dr Montgomery?"

Meredith's blood boiled. Where did Addison get off? She had no right to call her doctor; she had no right to interfere with her life especially since the only thing wrong with Meredith was having to see Addison everyday! Now the last thing she needed was some mediocre doctor while idolised Addison Sheppard.

" Oh right. Well actually since I've been so busy with work, I've just gotten an OB over here; I guess I forgot to mention that to Addison which is why she called you. But thanks for everything."

She hung up and went to go hunt down Addison. Stepping into the elevator she was greeted by the familiar face of Derek Sheppard.

" Hello."

" Hello." She replied, clearly distracted by something else. He chuckled.

" Everything all right?"

" No! Your stupid wife is making my life hell and I am so tired of it."

She softened a little whilst looking at him.

" But I guess I'm always tired now. Growing a person ya know?" Derek nodded smiling – though of course he couldn't know fully considering he was male.

" What did Addison do this time?"

Meredith sighed.

" She treats me like a second class citizen. Always acting like I'm complaining over nothing. It's not my fault we can't all do pregnancy as gracefully as Addison Forbes Montgomery Sheppard." She said in a mocking tone. And then chided herself.

" Sorry. I know she's your pregnant wife."

The elevator doors opened. He leaned in towards her ear.

" You apologize too much." He breathed her in for a moment and stepped out of the elevator.


Derek, Addison and Meredith were all, much to their disdain, standing around a patient's bed, deciding on the best course of treatment. Meredith had been hadn't been feeling well today and was struggling to listen. She was holding on the end of the patient's bed and unbeknownst to the other two this was so she could stand up straight.

" Meredith." Addison said sternly, sounding bored. Derek eyed her as if to say don't be so harsh with her.

" I'm sorry what?"

" I need you to go book OR 1, for tomorrow." Seeing Derek's face " Please." She said like a spoiled child being forced to apologize.

Meredith turned to do as she was asked but only got a few steps before stopping as she felt her stomach twinge.

" Dr Grey, I don't have all day."

Meredith didn't answer feeling like she was going to throw up. Addison and Derek approached her.

" Meredith are you alright?" Derek asked worriedly.

" I'm fine, just got a cramp it'll be fine in a minute."

Derek looked at Addison for confirmation of this fact, not wanting anything to happen to Meredith.

" Cramping is very common in pregnancy as your stomach and uterus have to expand. Most women worry for nothing. But your doctor hasn't told you to watch out for anything has she?"

Meredith remembered the conversation with her doctor earlier; she made a mental note to see a doctor asap. But for now wouldn't give Addison the satisfaction of knowing she didn't have a doctor. If I left my medical care up to Addison she'd probably kill me. She thought, only half joking.


Meredith ran down the dark corridor. She was out of breath. Shivers of fear swept down her spine.

Meredith gasped and opened her eyes. She was sweating. It had only been a dream, more to the point a nightmare- her third this week.

Meredith decided to go downstairs for a snack; she doubted she'd sleep after this.

She walked into the kitchen to find one Izzie Stevens.

" You have the creepy dream again?"

" Yeah."

" That sucks. Here have a cookie." Meredith reached over for one.

" Mer looks like your hands are swollen."

Meredith groaned; she already had swollen feet and ankles.

" Great." She replied nonchalantly. " You know as is it's not bad enough that Addison makes my life hell at work she has to ruin my sleep too!"

Izzie pager started to go off and she looked grim. Almost instantaneously thuds could be heard upstairs as George and Alex's pagers must have also went off. Meredith's pager having not gone off, she thought she had been spared.

" What's up?"

" There's been a huge crash on the freeway."

Just then Meredith's pager also went off.

" I guess it really is all hands on deck."

" Maybe you shouldn't go in, you're not really at your best." Izzie said looking out for her friend.

" I'm fine. We better get ready."


The interns arrived at Seattle Grace and were met by the residents who were at the A&E entrance awaiting the ambulances. They stood behind Bailey ready to assist.

The ambulances came. All the surgeons jumped to work. Upon entering the hospital they found an already bustling and over crowded place. It was going to be a long night.

Three hours later, Meredith started to feel light headed. This was all so over whelming, much more than she had ever remembered it to be. She had a pounding headed. I need to stop. She knew that wasn't an option as she received several calls from various corners of the room, as her colleagues wanted her help.

Meredith was standing just not moving – trying to block out her headache and wishing the light-headedness would subside. Derek looked up from his patient and noticed this, Addison also noticed as they had both shouted on Meredith a few times. They could instantly tell something was wrong. They caught each other's eye and silently communicated that they had to go help her. They both finished what they were doing and had someone else take over for them before rushing over to Meredith.

" Meredith." Derek said looking concerned.

Meredith's headache pounded on and she felt acid swish around in her stomach. The last thing she saw was Derek's face as she fell to the ground.

Derek and Addison raced into action, calling for a stretcher and trying to get Meredith to regain consciousness.

" Still think she's over-reacting?" Derek said angrily. Addison gazed at Meredith guiltily; she should have paid more attention. This is all my fault.

They rushed Meredith towards a trauma room. They weren't fast enough as Meredith's body started to shake and fit violently and a pool of blood appeared from her vagina and spilling onto her legs. All the doctors working on patients in the pit had seen this and their hearts sank into their chests as Meredith's friends, the Chief and Bailey were among them.

Thank god I checked this chap, I had uploaded the old version :P Thoughts? Big things coming up.
