CHAPTER 4

Meredith woke up the next morning feeling like crap and lately that was nothing new she thought as she slowly got out of bed and creeped into the bathroom where she spent the next few minutes throwing up last nights leftovers. Meredith sighed as she went over towards the sink and started to brush her teeth not wanting Carolyn to find out she was sick and the last thing she needed was for her to find out the bedroom Meredith made her way downstairs where the smell of food filled the air and made her stomach grumble in response and as she made her way towards the kitchen she heard voices one coming from Carolyn and another from a very familiar very male voice.

"How's she doing?" Derek asked his mother not noticing another body presence enter the room

"I think she's doing well we didn't speak much last night the poor thing was tired and who could blame her,right?" Carolyn shook her head "I would like to meet her parents so i could give them a piece of my mind."

"I don't blame you so would i if only i knew who her parents was."Derek wondered and suddenly he noticed that someone else was in the room and he turned and he saw Meredith standing there looking a bit pale frowning he went over to her "Meredith are you alright?" He asked her and watched as she gave a little smile.

"I'm fine,good morning Carolyn how are you?" Meredith asked his mother

"I'm fine,dear are you alright?" Carolyn asked with concern showing on her face

"What do you mean?" She asked as panic started to set it and Derek noticed and he hurried towards her and put his hands on her shoulders "Meredith you look a bit pale are you feeling alright do you need anything?" He asked and watched her face slightly relax and shook her head "No thanks i just didn't get enough sleep that's all." Meredith reassured him and his mother but Derek wasn't convinced but right now he didn't have the time to dwell on it he had to be at work in a hour.

"Meredith if you need anything please don't hesitate we are here to help no matter how bad it is okay?" He said looking into her green eyes where he thought once again he saw the panic flaring.

"Okay Derek leave the poor girl alone you're scaring her." Carolyn told her son and watched Meredith relax just a little bit."He's not scaring me Carolyn it's just that i'm still getting used to things here you have nothing to worry about." Meredith said avoiding Derek's gaze knowing that she was lying and he knew it.

"Okay Meredith i'll leave it alone for now but remember what i said to you yesterday if you need me call me okay?" He said and watch her give a slight nod "I got to go i'll check on you later,okay?"

Meredith nodded "Okay have a good day then." She said and watched Derek pick up his brief case and walked out of the noticed Meredith was nervous and motioned her to join her in the kitchen.

"It's alright dear Derek is just very protective of you he's worried to just like his father." Carolyn smiled sadly.

"Where is if i may ask?" Meredith asked sitting down at the kitchen table where Carolyn brought her some breakfast.

"You can Meredith,Michael was shot and killed a few years ago unfortunately Derek and his younger sister were the witnesses,poor things."Carolyn shook her head eyes brimming up with tears "It was a very difficult time for our family especially Derek who was kind of taken responsibility for this family." She said and sat down with a cup of coffee for her and eggs and toast with orange juice for Meredith who was hungrily eating it down.

"I'm so sorry Carolyn for your loss and for Derek as well."Meredith said with tears rolling down her cheeks after finishing her breakfast Carolyn reached over and patted her hand "Thank you i would like to say it get's easier but it hasn't yet,so Meredith you know you can talk to me about anything Derek isn't here and anything that you say stays between us." She said to Meredith who stiffened up.

"What's there to talk about i got thrown out that's all anyone needs to know about."Meredith said stubbornly

"Meredith i've raised five children four of them girls and if they got in trouble i would know about it,believe me a mother knows." Carolyn said gently

Meredith gave a small laugh " My mother should take notes from you,you would never kick your child out when she's in trouble." She got out of the chair and started walking around the house to no where in particular while Carolyn looked concerned "Meredith what kind of trouble are you in?" She asked and gasped when she saw Meredith collapse she ran her hands over Meredith's hair and face noting how pale this girl was the next thing she knew she was calling for the paramedics. She whispered to the girl "hang on we'll get you some help."

Derek was just finishing his rounds when he spotted his mother in the waiting room,concerned he hurried towards her "Mom what's wrong?" His mother shook her head "I should have seen this coming." Derek grabbed her shoulders "What are you talking about,what signs and who are you talking about?" Fear suddenly ripped through him having a pretty good idea who was here "Pregnant dear i think Meredith is pregnant."

Derek just scoffed "She's only fifteen mom wouldn't she have told us if she was."

Carolyn shook her head "Not necessarily think about it her mother kicked her out for that very reason think about it,it would make perfect sense."

Derek thought about it and remembered all the signs and paled "Why didn't she say anything we could have helped her,where is she now?"

Carolyn shook her head "I don't know she's still being looked at why don't you sit down for a minute and relax."

He shook his head "I can't sit down if anything happens to her i honestly don't know what i would do."

"You care for her don't you?" His mother asked noticing her son's expression.

"Of course i do she wouldn't be living with you if i thought otherwise." He said running his fingers through his hair.

"Of course i do it's just that." And was interrupted by a doctor who was clearly on Meredith's case

"Okay who is with Meredith Grey?" The doctor asked looking for some sort of family member.

"Who is Meredith Grey?" Carolyn asked and watched as her son paled "Derek what's wrong?"

Derek shook his head "Meredith is Meredith Grey she is the daughter of Ellis Grey a very prominent surgeon." He said gritting his teeth at the news.

Carolyn reached her son and patted his shoulder "Listen to her side of the story before judging her.
Turning towards the doctor she said "We're with Meredith Grey could you tell me what's wrong?"

The doctor cleared his throat before saying" I have some news..."
