I apologize for not updating the fic on the weekend, but I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Five

Meredith was so happy, she could not believe she was having a baby. Of course she was afraid of how this will affect her internship, but she was happy to have a baby and Derek promised to help her so that she would not get behind. "Derek," she thought. It has been wonderful to her, always helping and taking care of her "He will be a wonderful father."

Meredith was walking the halls of the hospital deep in thought when she saw the person she has avoided for a week.

"Dr. Grey. How are you?" Mark asked, smiling at her.

"I'm fine, Dr. Sloan." she said looking at the chart in her hand.

"I know what you're doing, just don't understand why."

Meredith looked at him and said. "I'm not doing anything, I'm just working as you can see." she showed him the chart.

"You're avoiding me."

"No, I'm not. I worked on a case with you last week you remember."

"Look, if this is because of the situation between me and Shepherd ..."

"Dr. Sloan, I will not go out with you, and I don't like you, and Dr. Shepherd is my friend, and I know what you did to him. Then please leave me alone."

"Oh, I understand you are his mistress." Mark smiled.

"WHAT, I'm not." Exclaimed

"Yes you are, we are exactly the same in this situation."

"No, we are not because I did not know he was married when I fell in love for him, and you were his friend, and betrayed him with his wife. So no, we're not the same ." she said walking away and leaving Mark standing in the middle of the hallway.

Mark stood there wondering what Meredith had said, she was right, he knew Derek, his best friend was married to Addison. He made a stupid choice when he decided to sleep with the wife of his best friend, but it will fix this mess, he came up here to get his friend back, and he will.

Mark was looking for Derek, he had to talk to him and apologize for being so stupid, and he was still his best friend. Mark saw Derek at the nurses' station and decided to go up to him to solve the problem.

"Derek, can I talk to you?" Mark asked.

Derek looked at him with eyes full of anger, "I have nothing to talk to you Mark. And what you're doing here? You hate rain."

"I came here to get you back."

Derek looked at him with eyebrows raised in surprise and Mark realized what he had just said.

"That's not what I meant ... Look Derek, you are my best friend and my only family, I know I messed up but please forgive me, I came up here just to have my friend back. "he said embarrassed

Derek was speechless, he never saw Mark speak that way and he seemed really sorry, but this does not change the fact that Mark slept with his wife. On the other hand if this had not happened, he would not have known Meredith and he was not about to be a father. And he knew he could not blame Mark for everything because Addison was his wife and she let Mark have sex with her. "I really miss my friend, but I can forgive him for that." Derek thought and said.

"Mark I ... I forgive you but do not think that everything will be as it was before, just because I forgive you, does not mean I've forgotten what you did. And far from Meredith." Derek said leaving when his pager went off.

"Ok, I understand." Mark said.

Meredith was having lunch when she felt someone sit next to you on the table, she knew exactly who he was, he had done it a lot lately, que sure she was eating at the right time.

"Hey, how are you?" Derek said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"We're fine, and how are you?" she asked smiling.

"I'm fine, I just talked to Mark."

"Oh, and are you okay?"

"Yes I am, he just wanted to apologize for what he did with Addison, and he wanted to be my friend again."

"And you forgave him?"

"Yeah, I mean he was my best friend, he did not do everything yourself Addison let him do what he did. Did you think I was right to forgive him?" he asked

"Derek, I can not answer That, but if you forgave Addison, you can also forgive your friend." she said taking his hand.

"I miss him, he was my friend since we were kids."

"Then give him a chance, he came up here for this, right?"

"You're right, I'll give him a chance."

"Ok, Good." she said smiling.

"That's why I love you." He said putting his hand on her face.

"Derek ..."

"I know we are just friends, but I love you and I will not hide, because I want to love you, even if you don't love me I will love you." he said smiling and looking into her eyes.

"ok ..." she whispered.

In the next chapter, Meredith'll be in 5th month of pregnancy, and something else will happen.
