CHAPTER 6

The following day Meredith was released on the promise that she go on complete bed rest at least for the weekend and a follow up visit with the gynocologist which Meredith promised she would,and both she and Carolyn left the hospital to the Shepherd's house where she now lived that it was a bad thing she thought as they drove but it still hurt that her own mother would kick her out of her own home just like that.

Carolyn noticed Meredith's sad face before asking "Meredith are you alright? do you want to talk about it?" She asked and watched as the young girl shake her head "You know you can talk to me right even if it's about your mother or the baby?"

Meredith nodded her head "I just don't want to talk about my mother and the baby? well i don't know what to do yet with it."

"Okay we don't have to talk about your mother if you don't want and as for the baby we don't have to worry about it right now you have plenty of time to make a decision and whatever it is you decide Derek and i will support the decision." Carolyn assured her as they pulled into the driveway of her new house.

What decision? Meredith asked herself to get rid of the baby she didn't know she wanted or have this baby and raise it those were questions she herself needed to figure it out but like Carolyn said she had time and whatever the decision was her and Derek would support of Derek where in the world was he?he was supposed to be meeting them here but she couldn't find his car anywhere so she asked Carolyn where he was.

His mother shrugged "I have no idea he said he would be here but i guess he had to go on a errand or something,now let's get you into the house and into bed like the doctor told you too." Carolyn ordered and then both she and Meredith got of the car and walked towards the house feeling a bit cold as the weather in Seattle was it's usual cool and rainy self causing her to shiver.

"Okay dear let's get you inside before you get sick." Carolyn said and unlocked the door and ushered Meredith inside to where it was nice and warm and quiet. "Okay dear why don't you get upstairs and have a quick shower and a change of clothes before laying down i'll bring you something to eat later,
okay?" And Meredith nodded and made her way up the stairs for the much need of a shower and clean clothes. Ten minutes later she got out of the shower wrapped herself with a towel and made her way towards the bedroom where she spotted Derek and a bunch of suitcases that lay by the bed she cleared her throat and watched as he turned around and blushed as he eyed her almost naked body.

"Derek may i help you with something?" Meredith asked amused by the sudden heat in Derek's face and gave a small giggle.

He cleared his throat before responding " I was just bringing you your things from your mother's place that's all." He said and slowly backed away from her room and quickly exited hearing Meredith's soft laughter behind him.

Derek shook his head chuckling as he went back downstairs and saw his mother cooking dinner "What are you making mom?"

Carolyn shrugged "Just some chicken and rice with mashed potatoes i figure that Meredith would appreciate a big supper after all that she's been through,speaking of is she resting like she's supposed to?" She asked with a arched brow

Derek cleared his throat "How should i know i haven't been in her room yet." He lied not wanting to tell his mother that he saw her in nothing but her towel and nothing else.

His mother rolled her eyes and smacked him with a dish towel "Don't lie to me you were in her room when you brought in her things,so i'll ask you again was she resting or still in the shower?"

"She was still in the shower when i was up there would you like me to check on her?" He asked watching his mother give a slight nod and he made his way out of the kitchen and back upstairs and into Meredith's room where he gently knocked and entered the bedroom where Derek could hear the snore's coming out of her mouth and causing him to chuckle. Going over towards the bed he sat down on the nearby chair and just watched her sleep noting how beautiful her long blonde hair spread out on the bed and just her beauty in general took his breath away. Reaching over the bed he gently stroked her hair causing her to stir and him to freeze and withdraw his hand he was about to leave the room where he could hear her calling him.

"Derek?" She asked

Derek moved a little closer to her "Yeah it's me sorry if i woke you." He said and sat back down in the chair and looked at her.

Meredith shifted and sat back up "I wasn't sleeping so what bring's you into my domain?"

Derek chuckled "I brought you most of your things from your old house." He said pointing to the unopen bags just sitting there.

"Oh." She said quietly and turned away from him before continuing "Was she there?"

He shook his head "No she left a key for me in the mailbox and i just went in and grabbed what i could,
which wasn't alot for now."

Meredith gave a fake laugh "That's not surprising she probably threw whatever that reminded me of her into the garbage."

"Do you want to talk about her?"

She shook her head "Like i told your mother i don't want to talk about her anymore i'm done and as far as the situation is concerned that's over."

Derek wasn't convinced that it was over but decided not to upset her anymore "Okay do you want to talk about the baby then?"

Meredith hesitated "Do you want to talk about it i mean i don't really want to but i could tell you have something on your mind."

Derek was going to protest that but it was the truth "Okay so who is the father?"

Meredith shrugged "It was a jock that i was seeing at the time and when i told him i was pregnant he balked and ran away to some other girl's arms,whatever i'm over it."

He was suddenly angry at the bastard who would walk away from this wonderful and charming girl "The guy's a asshole for doing that to a wonderful girl like you,tell me his name and i'll go beat the shit out of him."

Meredith rolled her eyes "No i'm not telling you his name because i don't want you to end up in jail not to mention that your mother would be furious at you,but thanks for wanting to be the hero."

Derek felt his heart fill up with happiness at those word "You're welcome so have you decided what to do about the baby then?"

She shrugged her thin shoulders before replying "Not yet i do have some time before i have to make a decision."

"Okay whatever you decide to do i'll be with you every step of the way." He assured her and reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze.

She squeezed back "Derek why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Derek reddened before replying "Who say's i don't have one?"

Meredith rolled her eyes "Me because if you had a girlfriend you wouldn't be with me would you?"

"Oh please that's not true she wouldn't stop me and besides you're worth it." He said and watched her blush

"I'm nothing special besides am i here to provide you with entertainment?" She asked amused by her own questions

"Okay smartass i'll let you get you some rest before mom comes up with dinner." He said and was about to leave the room before Meredith called to him.

"Derek?"

"Yeah?" He asked and turned towards her noting a serious expression on her face

"I've made a decision and..." Meredith paused causing his heart to race

"What is it?" He asked her

"I think i'm going to..."
