She slowly walked over and looked down into his face. She reached down and touched his cheek.

::Flashback:::

"What happened to him? What kind of accident?" Meredith said as tears ran down her cheek.

"I believe I can answer that," A police officer said as he walked over. They looked at the fat policeman. "A pickup truck ran a light. Your friend didn't see it. The truck smashed full speed into the side of the car… Um… Sorry."

Meredith was crying hard by this point.

::End of flashback:::

She could still hear those words as if they were just said. The other driver died. He was DOA. She wiped her eyes as she sat down into a chair taking his hand.

"I got some news today." There was a long pause. "I'm pregnant. You're going to be a daddy." Another long pause as she started crying harder again. "I can't do this without you, Alex. So, please, wake up. I need you to wake up. I really need you to wake up."

"What happened?" A voice pulled the group to reality. They looked up to see Mark.

"She needs to be the one to tell you." Izzie said.

"She's not going to be talking about it any time soon." Christina said.

"What's going on?" Mark asked again.

"She's pregnant." Christina said quietly.

"Oh god." Mark said. He sat down beside the group he had befriend thanks to his fellow dirty mistress, whose life, right now, is falling. "How'd she take it?" They looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Right, yeah. Dumb question."

"You think?" Christina said.

"She took it pretty bad," Izzie looked up at Mark and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Mark and Izzie had gotten close over the few months. They were starting to date some.

She sat there in silence. The tears had started to dry up and only one or two would fall every once in awhile. She hadn't let go of his hand nor said another word. It was getting late in the shift and she hadn't done any work. But if that was a problem someone would have said something. She just sat there and stared at him hoping for him to wake up at that moment but nothing happened.

She leaned forward in the chair. "I miss you Alex. I really, really need you to wake up. I love you and I just need you. So please, I'm begging you to wake up." She stood up, not wanting to but having to. She leaned over and kissed his lips. "I love you." She walked out and all her friends stood up. She didn't stop. She just walked towards the stairs.

"Mere?" Izzie called as the four fallowed her.

"I need to be alone." She called back and walked through the door leading to the stairs leaving behind her friends looking helpless.
