She tried to keep her mind off of everything by working in the pit and clinic. She didn't have many patients probably thanks to the Chief. She sat down at the nurses' station writing on a chart when her pager went off. It was Izzie with the test results. She sighed and put the chart away before heading up on the elevator to the surgical floor.
The doors opened and she walked over to Izzie.
"Hey. What do they say? Do I have the flu?" Izzie just shook her head. Her eyes looked sympathetic. "What is it?"
Izzie silently led her to an empty exam room. Meredith looked at her strangely.
"What?" She asked again.
"Mere, you're pregnant." Izzie said quietly. She wasn't sure how Meredith would react. Especially since Alex was in a coma. She watched as her eyes grew wide and filled with tears. She reached out and touched her arm supportively but Meredith jerked away as she broke down into sobs.
"I CAN'T BE!" She yelled loudly. She wanted to scream. But even more she wanted to be in Alex's arms. "No. Alex… he's.. in… No. I can't… I need.. ALEX!" She yelled the last part. Izzie wrapped her arms around her friend as she started to fall to the ground. Her arms were wrapped around her stomach as she sobbed. Her legs were tucked underneath her. Izzie rested her head on Mere's head trying to soothe her.
Her sobs were loud enough to be heard by everyone passing the room. George and Christina were walking by. They saw a few nurses whispering as they passed the room. They looked at each other. It sounded like Meredith.
"Move." Christina said as she made her ways passed a few nurses who stopped to listen. She opened the door to see Izzie and Meredith. "Meredith?"
George and Christina stepped in the room and shut the door.
"What happened?" George was quick to ask.
"A baby… I.. I'm pregnant." She sobbed. Their jaws dropped at the news and Izzie sent them a glare. "I need to see him."
"Everyone is out there…" Christina started.
"I DON'T CARE," She yelled. "I need to see him NOW!" The tears didn't stop falling as Izzie helped her up. She gave her a hug and walked out of the room with her. She was still crying and everyone was watching as the four friends walked down the hall. They were all close to Meredith as they guided her towards his room passing everyone. They decided to take the stairs and ran into Derek Shepherd. He looked at Meredith and was taken back.
"What's going on?" He asked quietly. No one answered the jackass, just kept walking up to the ICU.

They got to his room and Meredith stopped abruptly. Tears started to roll down her cheeks faster. She gave her friends a little nod and they all stopped as she continued towards the room. They understood that she needed to do this alone. She opened the door and stepped into the room. He was laying in the bed as he had been for the passed two weeks. She just stood there and looked at him. The tears still rolled down her cheeks in the same constant stream as before.
