CHAPTER 5

Derek held his before asking the doctor "So is Meredith pregnant?" He asked hoping for her sake that she was,knowing how hard it would be to lose a child.

The doctor nodded and both Derek and his mother sighed in relief "Yes she's about eight weeks along and the baby appears to be healthy,however i am concerned about the mother has she been under any stress lately that i should be aware of?" He asked looking at Derek and Carolyn who shook their heads.

"Not that i'm aware of why? could whatever is bothering Meredith have caused the fainting spell?"
Carolyn asked looking at the doctor.

"It's possible but there's a variety of reasons that would cause a fainting spell we're still running some tests, but for right now she seems to be okay." The doctor said writing stuff on Meredith's chart.

"Could we see her now?" Derek asked wanting to see Meredith and making sure she was alright for himself.

"She's resting but i can see no harm in doing so but please don't stress her out it's not good for her or the baby." The doctor said and pointed down the hallway "She's in room 2387." He said and left the two of them standing there.

Derek looked at his mother who gave him a gentle nudge as they started to walk towards Meredith's room where he was trying to figure out a way to talk to her with out being too judgemental on her situation,knowing that upsetting her wouldn't be good for her or her baby. He was about to reach for her door handle when his mother stopped him.

"Mom what is it, what's the matter?" Derek asked and watched as his mother shook her head

"Nothing i just wanted to say to you please not to judge her we don't know what her life was like and you know what that doctor said Meredith can't have any stress right now."Carolyn said to her

"I'm not upset."Derek lied and Carolyn shook her head "Yes you are just listen to what she has to say before you yell at her." Derek rolled his eyes "I'm not going to yell at her i'm not that mean."He said"I never said you were but just keep that in mind okay?" She asked and Derek nodded and quietly the both of them made their way into Meredith's room where she was peacefully sleeping for the moment,and his heart melted at the went over to the one side of the room and sat down on a hard chair and watched her sleep and he couldn't help but notice that she gave a loud snore which made him and his mother chuckle.

Meredith heard the two chuckles coming from her hospital bed and woke up to find that both Derek and Carolyn were sitting in those uncomfortable looking around the room she finally realized where she was and suddenly began to whimper causing the two onlookers to come rushing towards her.

"Meredith what's wrong is it the baby?" Derek asked urgently noting that Meredith was still a bit on the pale side and watched as she shook her head in response.

"Meredith sweetheart are you okay?" Carolyn asked concern washing over her for this poor girl

"I'm in the hospital."Meredith whispered frantically

"Yes you're in the hospital do you remember what happend?" Derek gently asked her

"I think i fainted and after that it all get's foggy." Meredith admitted and Derek nodded wanting to add more but saw his mother shake her head indicating to let her ask.

"Meredith we know that you are pregnant." His mother said gently and Meredith began to tremble with fear.

"Are you going to throw me out?" She asked and Derek's heart broke wanting to go over there and give her a hug but restrained himself from doing so.

Carolyn gaped at her "What ,throw you out why would you think that?" She asked

Meredith lowered her head "Because i'm a slut and a whore."She whispered and Derek became angry at those words.

"Who said that you're mother?" Carolyn asked and Meredith nodded "Well that woman should be ashamed of herself that's no way to ever talk to a child ever."She went over and gently clasped Meredith's shoulder "Don't listen to a word she says you are not a slut or a whore and..." And before Carolyn could finish she heard the hospital door slam right open and a very angry woman enter the room causing Meredith to flinch.

"MEREDITH GREY DID I NOT MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
Ellis Grey yelled not realizing that there were other people with her daughter.

"Mother please..."Meredith trembled but Ellis wouldn't listen

Carolyn felt a surge of anger wash through her "Do not ever speak to her that way." And watched as the other woman turned towards her "Who the hell are you?" Ellis Grey demanded suddenly Derek knew why Meredith is the way she is frightened, scared and alone it was because of this woman that her daughter was lying here and for that Derek knew he had to say something he stepped towards Ellis.

"You should be ashamed of yourself throwing your daughter out like that." Derek said and watched the doctor turn towards him with a scowl on her face and suddenly noticed his white coat "Don't ever speak to a attending like that my daughter is none of your concern."Ellis waved her hands to prove a point and Derek grew angrier "It became my business when I found your daughter in the back alley of a bar with no more than a sweater and some jeans on a rainy night,
so i do make it my business." He said coldly

Ellis just shook her head "That's not my fault she shouldn't have become a slut and a whore she wouldn't be in this position."

Derek moved a little bit closer toward Ellis and gave her a mean look "Meredith doesn't deserve you as a mother,you are a shallow, callous, dispicable woman who doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself you think you are better than everyone else but you're me when i say that your daughter is better off living with us then living with a cold woman, and one more thing if i ever hear you say that Meredith is a slut and a whore one more time i promise you i will report this to the chief and you know how he feels about that." Derek said threateningly and watched as Ellis shake her head "You don't scare me however if you want Meredith to go live with you then be my guest you can come get her things tomorrow." She said and slammed the door leaving the entire room quiet.

"I am so sorry about that." Meredith whispered tears coming down her cheeks and Derek moved over towards her and leaned over and gave her a hug and he watched as his mother done the same thing.

Carolyn gently lifted Meredith's face "Don't listen to what that woman says you are a intelligent young woman with a upside potential and the fact that you're pregnant doesn't change that fact,
we can decide what to do later when you are feeling better."

Meredith turned towards Derek "What do you think of my pregnancy do you think i'm a slut or a whore as well like my mother?"

He shook his head "No i do not think you are any of that you are a teenager and teenagers make mistakes all the time,was i mad when i found out? a little bit yes but not enough to hate you or have you move out or anything like when i said you could stay with us for as long as you wanted i mean it and my mother means it we don't turn our backs on people who are in trouble."
Derek looked in Meredith's eyes before continuing "You never have to worry about having a home because you will always have one."

Meredith's eyes welled up with tears again "You and you're mother are the nicest people in the world heaven has sent me two angels in disguise."

Derek and Carolyn suddenly had tears in their eyes "Thank you Meredith we try." Carolyn said and gave Meredith a hug who finally composed herself before saying "I want to stay with you forever is that okay?" She asked the two of them who beamed in response and Derek whispered in her ears "It's more than okay we are truly blessed."

Meredith layed back down with contentment and for the first time since she could remember she finally had a place to call home with people who would care what she does and never worrying about whether or not she was going to get kicked out for doing something stupid. She sighed and fell back asleep with a huge smile on her face.
