It was the end of the week and Alex finally made the Chief say yes to his request of allowing him to come to work the next day. He was only allowed to work with his interns (ordering them around), extra hands in the pit, and clinic work. He agreed to the terms glad to get out of the house.

"Alex?" Meredith called to him from down the stairs.

"Coming," He yelled back and she could hear the sound of his crutches bouncing against the carpeted floor. He got to the stairs and rolled his eyes. He hated making himself look like a fool getting down the stairs. He plopped down and pushed his ass off the first step and slide down the following steps. Meredith covered her mouth in the attempt to stifle the giggles that were threatening to come out. He glared at her as he came to the bottom and waited for her to go up the stairs to get his crutches. She complied with his silent request.

"Excited about finally controlling your suck ups?" Meredith said as she held the door open for him and helped him down the concrete stairs.

"Happy to be getting out of the house and getting to work."

"Oh come on. We've had fun at home." She giggled at the fond memories. Alex nodded with an evil smirk.

They got in the car and started to drive in comfortable silence.

"I don't know how much longer we can really keep this under wraps." Meredith said not removing her eyes from the road.

"Keep what under wraps?" Alex said looking over at her.

"The babies."

"Why?"

She glared at him before looking at the road. "You can't pretend that I'm not getting fat."

"You're not getting fat."

"I have a baby bump!"

"It's not that big."

"Alex, I wasn't that big to begin with, was I? Was I fat?" Her moodiness was actually humorous to Alex.

"Meredith, you're a very tiny woman. You were in no way fat." Meredith sighed.

"I'm just saying that, I'm 15 almost 16 weeks pregnant with twins and only you, Christina, George, and Izzie know."

"We can do what ever you want," Alex said and squeezed her hand.

"I love you," She smiled at him.

"I love you too," He said and smiled at her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meredith met up with all four of her/ Alex's interns with Alex in tow. She smiled at them.

"Good mood," Alex thought.

"Okay Dr. Grey, Dr. Pop, I'm happy to say, you are now going to be working with Dr. Kerev. Not that I'm happy to get rid of you I mean I'm happy that Dr. Kerev is back and you guys…" She started to rambled a little. She looked at Lexi to see that her face had lit up with the news.

"Mere…" He touched her shoulder. "They got the picture." She rolled his eyes at him.

"Anyway, the point is… Dr. Kerev is back. You Dr. Grey and Dr. Pop can leave with him." She nodded at them and turned towards Alex.

"I'll see you and the guys at lunch?" Alex asked. She nodded.

"Good Luck," Alex nodded and hobbled away on his crutches.

"She was eyeing him like a piece of meat," Meredith said in disgust.

"What are you… jealous?" Christina said raising an eyebrow.

"No, I don't get jealous, Christina."

"Yeah whatever."

"It's not that she's into him it's that he's her resident and he is mine," She said stabbing her salad and looking at Christina's amused face. "Sorry these hormones are… why am I apologizing?"

"I find these mood swings funny," Christina laughed.

"You would," She rolled her eyes at her.

"I do," Christina smirked.

"Hey," Alex said as he sunk into the seat.

"Hey… why aren't you eating?" Meredith said.

"Ah… no reason." Alex said quickly.

"You need help, don't you?" Meredith said rolling her eyes. He nodded a little. "What is it with men and their lack of ability to ask for help?" Christina shrugged and took a bite of her salad. "What do you want?"

"Hot dog, Pepsi, and fries… please." He smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and took his wallet from his hand.

She stood in line and waited for her turn to get ALEX'S food.

"You get food for him?" She jumped at the sound of the voice. She glanced over her shoulder and rolled her eyes. "You never got me food."

"You never had an injured leg, but I'd be happy to give you one."

"Meredith, at one point, I was the love of your life."

"You cheated on me, Derek."

"Did you ever think maybe after all the things I did that I might still be the love of your life?" Derek said almost quoting the statement Addison said to get him to stay with her.

"Nope, never, and not going to happen." She turned towards him. "Listen, we had fun. We had our ups and downs. More downs then ups. Even after the wife thing, I stuck by you. I'm not going to crawl back to you, okay? I'm in love with someone else. I don't want to be you're little play thing. And if I knew all that would follow after we met, I would have never brought you home that night in the bar. Because, not all the sex in the world can make what you did make me go back to you. It hurts to even look at you. Not because I can't have you, like it used to be but because I don't want you. So, leave me alone, Derek. We gave it a try and a second try and a third try. There's no more tries… especially when I don't love you and I don't want to." She turned around and got the food before turning to walk back outside.

"Was it all about the sex?" He asked quietly.

"Looking back… that's all I ever got out of it. That and heartaches. I can't look back and say that you ever really loved me." Meredith said. "So no… in the beginning it wasn't. In the end… I don't know why I fought." She walked outside and his head fell.

She looked at Alex and knew that he was it for her. He was her knight in shinning whatever. He was her Evil Spawn. He was the father of her children. He was it for her.
