Hey
Here's the newest chapter. This is mostly diffrant from twilight. Dealing with Vanessa's story line. It does have nightmares in it. I hope you guys like it. This story is going to turn out more like new moon in the next chapters. Finn is our Jacob. So keep your eyes on that romance. Okay, so Vanessa's pregnant with a vampire baby. The pregnacy is going to be normal. I didn't want to make it turn out like Bella's pregnancy in Breaking Dawn. Because there is no one around that can help them. So, I'm taking a differant way. How I think a hybrid pregnancy should go. You can send me suggestions about the name, because the baby has a name. And what do you think about Mer's dreams? Fear or mind she just be seeing parts of the future.
I hope you guys love this chapter, More updates will follow. And There will be a version of Eclipse and Breaking dawn. I just don't know how that's going to go yet. Eclipse, is going to be a Cristina/Owen centric. About that stuff.
Enjoy,
TempeGeller (Ellen)

. When life brings you down…When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
"What did you just say?" Meredith stared at her baby sister. "Tell me again."
"I'm pregnant." Vanessa turned to her. "It's George's baby. I don't know what to do, mum is going to be so pissed."
"You're pregnant?" Meredith closed her eyes, and opened them up again. "So you two did things. Didn't you use any protection?"
"He's a vampire." Vanessa replied "He told me he couldn't have children. I believed there was no reason to."
"Oh, yeah, so you think: I'll sleep with my vampire boyfriend who's sterile." Meredith turned around. "I mean how far along are you?"
"I don't know." Vanessa replied "I only did on of those home pregnancy tests. You are the first one I'm telling."
"False positive." Meredith grabbed her hand. "We've got get you to a doctor."
Okay, so the dream was gone. The fantasy was gone. And reality took over again.
Life was no fairytale. It was a freaking tragedy.
"Meredith, please don't be mad." Meredith turned to Vanessa who was speaking.
"I'm not mad." Meredith touched her hand. "I know you guys were in love. Things happened."
"What do I have to do?" Vanessa stared at Meredith.
"Only you know that." Meredith walked out of the room.
They say a person either has what it takes or they don't. My mother was one of the greats. Me, on the other hand… I'm kind of screwed.
"What is mum going to say?"
Like I said, I'm screwed.
Dark eyes staring at her from the darkness. Those dark eyes, that stared at her. It were not Derek's bright blue eyes. She had no idea, who could be staring at her from the darkness. The eyes were dark. And they brought fear to her eyes. Slowly she walked back. Falling down on the ground. She was once again on the cemetery. Where she was buried. Died at an age of 110. Meredith could only now read the letters that were under her name.
'Always in our hearts.'
"Still haven't got used to the dreams?" Vanessa stepped next to her. "Some dreams you are having."
"Dreams?" Meredith stared at her. "I didn't know I was even asleep. I mean I was.. Vanessa, what's going on? What are you talking about? I'm dead?"
"You are." Vanessa replied "Me too. I'm something else."
"What do you mean, you're something else?" Meredith stared at her. "What do you mean?"
And then she had disappeared in the night. Gone. Just like the previous time. Meredith was standing there. Seeing if she could find Derek. She wanted to see him, if only in a dream. A nightmare. She wanted to see his lovely face. His sad lovely face. But she couldn't find him anywhere. She can't see him. Nowhere. He's not around. Meredith walks over the ground. Staring around. Then she finds the man. The man with the cane. He is hanging over her body. Meredith didn't notice that everything around her changed. There's blood on his mouth. Staring at her.
"She's something else now." The man smiled at her. Moving towards her. Meredith could recognize the girl he had been drinking from. Vanessa. 'She's something else now'. That line kept coming back. Why did they kept reminding herself that Vanessa was something else? What did that mean? And why did they say it? And who was this man. Meredith turned herself away from Vanessa. She tried to breath.
"I'm hungry." Meredith turned around, seeing Vanessa sitting up. She slowly came closer. Then Meredith felt like she was falling. Screaming. Sweating like a pig. A scared little pig. 'I'm hungry'. The words were on her mind. And it was not like Vanessa was talking about normal food. She was hungry, and Meredith didn't guess she wanted a sandwich. What happened to Vanessa, in her nightmare? What did she become? Meredith stared around her. Her father was sitting on the bed.
"Another nightmare, Mer?" Thatcher hugged her. He was worried about his daughter. "That must have been quiet the dream? I mean the past nights.."
"It was nothing." Meredith sat up. Staring at Vanessa who was sitting up in the bed. She couldn't help but see her, dead. Her dead body in front of her. Meredith closed them. And she reopened her eyes again. Vanessa was still staring at her. "I mean it's really nothing. Just some exam. And I' didn't study."
"Didn't sound like it." Thatcher stared at her. "It sounds like you are really freaking out. I know it could look scary. It's just a nightmare. It's not real."
"Yeah, Mer." Vanessa reacted after Thatcher left the room. "It's just a nightmare. There's nothing true about a nightmare. Derek left you, you are just trying to adjust to the new situation."
"It's not always Derek, who I dream about." Meredith stared at her. "Sometimes, most of the times it's not. I mean he's part of them. But most of the times, it's you. You and a man. I don't see his face, I only hear him limp towards me. He has a cane. He's a vampire. I think…"
"Sounds like you're just a bit scared." Vanessa stared at her. "I had those nightmares to. George.."
"And then there's you.." Meredith paused "Dead."
"You were dead to, Meredith?" Vanessa sat up. "We all die, there's nothing scary about that."
"You were not just dead." Meredith replied "You were a vampire. I don't know who turned you. But someone had. And you wanted to eat me. You wanted me for lunch."
"Meredith, all this things with Derek. They make you scared." Vanessa sat down next to her, placing her head against her shoulder. "I'm not becoming a vampire. Not ever. I don't see why anyone would do that to me."
"Derek also promised me something." Meredith rolled off the bed. Standing up. "He promised that he would never leave me. And how far did that get me. He left me, broke my heart and left me. I'm just saying. Nothing is sure."
"I know." Vanessa stared at her. "What are we going to do about my situation?"
"I called the hospital." Meredith replied "Set up an appointment. For an ultrasound. It's in 2 hours. See if you are really pregnant. And then, we are telling Susan and Thatcher. And mum."
"We can't tell mum." Vanessa cried. "I won't tell mum. I'll never tell her. She's not going to agree with what ever I decide. Maybe I want to keep this baby. I mean George is gone. And stuff. But I'm still here, I'm still me. And I love George, I couldn't do that. I couldn't take life."
"Okay." Meredith stared at her. "I'm going to see if everything is okay. We'll get trough this. Together."
When you think about it.
Nightmares often keeps us up.
And they make us scared.
And in the end.
They mean nothing.
Or do they?
"So how long has it been since your last period?" The doctor in front of her asked
"I don't know." Vanessa was nervous. "I mean, I'm not very regular. Sometimes I don't have my period for over 3 months. So I don't find it that weird."
"Since when are you sexual active?" The doctor seemed so serious.
"4 Months. Or something." Vanessa turned to her. "But I had my period, a bit for that. So I couldn't.."
"You had your period 4 months ago." The doctor rolled her eyes. "You are pregnant. 17 years old, didn't your mum teach anything about using condoms."
"Don't be that mean." Meredith stepped in front of her sister. "Or I'll make a complain. And you can kiss OR time goodbye. I don't think that's what you want, Doctor Harris."
"Okay." She took a machine closer to her. She slowly put some gel on her exposed stomach. "So we're just going to see if there's anything in there. Anything what so ever."
"I can see it." Vanessa stared at the screen. Seeing a baby. Or anything that looked like it. It was right there in her uterus. George's baby. Vanessa had tears in her eyes. She would love this baby. "Okay, seems like you're about 14 weeks along. Okay, now we're going to listen to the heartbeat."
The woman turned on the sound. But there was nothing. There was no heartbeat, nothing. Vanessa started to panic. She stared at Meredith. "I'm going to get my superior." The woman left.
"Oh my god." Vanessa started to panic. "My baby is a vampire. My baby is actually a vampire. I'm carrying an evil vampire. "
"That does not make sense." Meredith sat down next to her. "I mean, you should have 50/50. A hybrid. Not just a vampire. I mean that's impossible."
"See what if human is actually not dominant?" Vanessa sat up. "What if the whole vampire thing is the dominant gene? And that my baby is a blood sucking, vegetarian vampire?"
"Miss Grey." Another man entered the hospital. "Okay, Dr. Harris, can you show me what you were doing?"
"Okay." She sat down once more again. Doing the same thing again. "So I held the thing here. But there was no heartbeat. You can see it to, sir."
"That's because you are on his but." He moved her out of the way. Vanessa could hear the heartbeat right away. She slowly stared at Meredith. She smiled "'m so sorry. She's an intern. And not a very good one. See, your baby is perfectly healthy. And you're 14 weeks along. Seems like it's a girl."
"A girl." Vanessa cried.
But great nightmares,
Can escalade, and bring happiness.
And when you least expect it.
A frown can turn in to a smile.
"Where were you guys today?" Thatcher stared at them when they entered the house at 6 in the evening. "I mean the Shepherds are gone. And it's a Sunday. I thought we would be honored by your present at the diner table. Susan would love the family together. But you two weren't there."
"We had things to take care off." Meredith replied "Things in the hospital. With things."
"What were you doing at the doctors?" Susan walked in the living room. "Are you sick Meredith?"
Susan sat down on the cough. Meredith and Vanessa slowly sat down to. Vanessa felt the tension in the air. She could feel that Susan was suspecting something. She wouldn't know what to suspect tough.
"I know that you guys feel sad." Susan stared at them. "Because of Derek and George. But this has to stop. You can't just hang around everywhere. And not tell us. We want to know where you go. I was worried to dead. I was worried Meredith. Vanessa. We are responsible for you. And if something happens, we won't be able to forgive ourselves."
"We were at the hospital." Meredith explained "And things took longer then we expected."
"That takes me back to." Susan stared at both of them. "Why? Why were you at the hospital? I could call them. Ask for your test results. We're your legal guardians. They'll give us what we need. But I rather hear it from you."
"I'm pregnant." Vanessa turned to Susan. Because she was less afraid of Susan reaction, then Thatchers.
"Oh, great." Thatcher got up. "Ellis is going to freak when she hears this. I mean I have her teenage daughter for what . 5 months. Maybe a little longer. And she gets a boyfriend and gets pregnant. She's going to eat me alive."
"Okay." Susan stared at her. "So you want to keep the baby, I guess."
"Yes." Vanessa stared at her with tears in her eyes. "I need to."
"We'll help." Susan hugged the teenage girl. "We'll help you with the baby. You are 17 years old, and we are going to help you. Things will be okay. You'll see."
Susan stared at Meredith, she smiled at her. Meredith was surprised by Susan's reaction. She expected her to be mad. She expected her to yell. But she didn't. Instead she was the good parent.
"See, we're going to be grandparents." Susan said in delight. "We could get the attack room, ready for the baby room. And we'll help you with the baby."
"What about her mother?" Thatcher touched his shoulders. "Do I need to call her."
"I send her an e-mail." Meredith reacted " I did it with my phone. I don't expect her to react or anything. She probably could care less."
"Okay." Thatcher stared at her. "We are going to work this out. Together. As a family."
"Thank you." Vanessa stared at hem. "I'm a bit tired. I'll just go lay down."
"Aren't you overdoing this?" Thatcher stared at Susan. "You bought all this vegetables. And vitamins. And you're actually checking out cookbooks for cooking during pregnancy. You really want her healthy."
"I want our grandchild to be completely healthy." Susan replied "I mean it's our first."
"Technically, she's not our grandchild." Thatcher smiled "Vanessa is not our daughter. And how long have you know this. Two weeks. And you are making her lunch. You are forcing her to drink enough. And you are decorating the baby room."
"Do you even know how far she's along?" Susan stared at him. "I mean she never mentioned."
"I don't know." Susan replied "We'll ask her later."
The doorbell rang. Susan walked towards the door. Whoever was calling them. Was not really patient. She kept ringing the door, over and over again. It was Friday, 7 at night. So Susan didn't like it.
"Okay, okay." Susan walked towards the door mad. "we're coming."
She opened the door to find Ellis Grey, storming in the house. She walked right towards Thatcher. Thatcher seemed surprised to find Richard Webber right beside her.
"My teenage daughter is pregnant?" Ellis stepped right in front of him. "And you let this happen, under your watch? Where is she? I'm dragging her to the next hospital to let it be removed."
"You're not going anywhere near that girl." Susan stepped in front of Thatcher. "When Meredith had an accident, you didn't have the nerve to check in on her. And no you're here, because your teenage daughter is pregnant. And she's staying that way. You don't have any right to be interfering with her. You could care less."
Ellis hit her in the face, running up the stairs. "Vanessa Elizabeth Madeline Grey, get our her right now!"
"Mum." Meredith walked towards her. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take your sister." Vanessa walked in the hallway next to Meredith. Ellis grabbed her hand, dragging her out of the room of the stairs.
"No, mum." Vanessa had tears in her eyes. "I'm staying here."
"She is." Susan walked towards her. Pulling Vanessa in her arms.
"She's not your daughter." She pulled Vanessa's arm, pulling her towards her. "She's my daughter. And Richards. And I decide what happens to her."
"You don't love her." Susan yelled "You were in Egypt, doing medicine, while you dumped your daughter with us. I love her. I love Vanessa Grey, and that makes me more a mother. Then you'll ever be. I actually know the boy that is the father. You didn't even know she was seeing somebody."
"That's because , this little girl is a slut." Susan pulled her out of the house. She got her in the car. "We're taking her to the hospital. And we are ending this pregnancy right now."
"She loves that baby." Lexie stepped in front of them. "You can't do this. This is not about what you want. This is about her. About my sister. And you are not taking her. Dad! Say something anything."
"There's nothing he can do." Ellis reacted "She's not his daughter. Not legally. Or biologically"
"There's nothing you can do anyway." Meredith stepped right in front of them. "she's 4 months along. It's illegal to abort a baby, when you are over the border of 3 months. And she's staying her, with me. My whole life, you didn't give a shit. You didn't come to one of her art shows. You didn't make it to any of her recitals. You didn't see anything. You don't have the right to do anything. In the 5 months we were here, Susan and Thatcher, didn't miss any of her recitals. Any of her art shows. They saw more of her in 5 months. Then you have in 16 years. And that makes them parents. You haven't called her. You didn't care to. "
"You're not taking her." Thatcher stepped in front of them. "Meredith is been trying to get you attention ever since she was born. I'm very sorry, I didn't do this sooner. You're not fit to be a mother. She disserves better."
Thatcher helped her out of the car. Putting his arm around her. When Vanessa was closer enough, Susan pulled her in her arms. Hugging her tight. "You're not going anywhere."
"She's my daughter." Ellis walked toward them. Richard hadn't said a word.
"She wants to stay." Susan replied "You can't separate them. Meredith and Vanessa. We're a family."
With that Ellis Grey got in her car. Richard stepped closer to his daughter. Staring at her. Vanessa wanted to hug him. But instead he stared at her. "You've disappointed me. I thought you were smarter." And that was the last thing he said. Susan hugged the girl and brought her inside. She slowly stared at Thatcher Grey.
"It's going to be okay." Susan took the girl in her arms. Crying in her arms. "We love you. You are not going anywhere. See that. We are going to take care of the baby. And you are staying with us."
"Meredith, can you bring her upstairs?" Thatcher saw Meredith nod. "Lexie can you go with them."
"I never seen anyone that mad." Susan stared at her. "She wanted to abort the baby against her will."
"That's Ellis." Thatcher turned to her. "Surgery made her this way. I don't even understand why Richard stays with her. I mean he seems okay. But he's busy with that clinic in Egypt."
"he said that he was disappointed in her." Susan stared at her. "She's a smart girl. Vanessa's a smart girl. I just think, we're missing part of the story. I mean why did the Shepherds leave?"
"I don't know." Thatcher hugged Susan "But I know one thing. She's not giving up."
That day I learned what it meant to be a family. To love each other.
To be a mother. To love your child.
And that DNA, doesn't always make you better family.
The best family, Is the family that loves you. Willing to fight for you.
That's my family. Struggling together.
