Meredith sat curled up in her brothers arms, whispering to him. She had not wanted to talk to him about this, but knew there was no other way. Plus, they spoke about everything, which meant she couldn't avoid this any longer.

"Christina's pregnant." she told him.

Alex nodded. "I know."

"What do you want to do about it?" she asked as she yawned and rested her head back down on his shoulder.

"I dont know" Alex murmured. It wasn't often that they would sit like this and talk, but she had wanted to stay back with her mother for some unknown reason, and Alex was on call. "She doesn't want to keep it." he finally whispered.

"I know" Meredith sighed as she brought her hand to rest on her stomach. "I couldn't imagine terminating the pregnancy." She had continued, "i wouldn't be able to do that."

Alex nodded in understanding, if it was up to him he wouldn't be able to do that either.

"I don't know what i should do, if there is anything i can do." he admitted.

"Do you love her?" Meredith finally asked.

"she's your best friend, does she love me?" he asked.

"Alex" Meredith hissed.

"Fine, i like her a lot." he told her, "there is something about her that draws my attention."

"Yeah she is a sarcastic bitch." meredith said with a grin.

"ah... that must be it." Alex said smartly.

"SHE put mom in her place earlier, told her that her decision has nothing to do with her, and that it is between you and her." Meredith told him. "She thought that i was sleeping but i heard it all."

Alex looked at her surprised. "Yang said that?"

"Yeah" Meredith replied, "so maybe she feels the same way about you" Meredith suggested.

Alex rolled his eyes.

Meredith giggled. "i have 2 words for you, are you ready?" she asked.

Alex nodded, but wasnt sure what she was going to say, these days Meredith was known for her random comments.

"Joint wedding." Meredith said.

"Could be interesting." Alex answered with a laugh.

"The crazy webber twins are knocked up." she told him.

Alex shook her head. "i think you need to back off of the pills or something, you are going slightly crazy."

"Slightly?" they heard Mark say as he entered the room.

"So you guys made a decision?" Mark asked Alex, as Meredith moved to sit up.

"You know?" Meredith asked him.

"Of course i know, i came looking for you in the stairwells and over heard too." Mark told her.

"But ... Christina had told me before that... she just"

"She just hadn't told you the father?" Alex guessed.

"Figures" he mumbled.

Mark moved to sit with them, pausing briefly to look over at their mother.

"Feels weird doesnt it." he said as he turned back to look at them.

"I never thought she would be here ever again, let alone when any of us were going to procreate." Mark said.

M eredith nodded. She had never thought her mom would ever be back.

"There's two of us having babies." Alex said, "or possibly any way."

"Better make that 3" Mark mumbled as he buried his head in his hands.

"What?" Meredith asked.

Mark looked up and nodded. "You heard me... all the damn protection in the world, and i still managed to knock her up."

Meredith moved to her brother and put her arms around him. "I think that's great."

"You would." Mark grumbled

"Mark, you love Addie right?" Meredith asked nervously.

"I wouldn't have married her if i didnt." Mark mumbled.

"Well then whats so bad about a baby?" Meredith asked.

"Mer" Mark groaned.

"No Mark, dont tell me that she told you and you just walked away." Meredith said.

Mark went completely quiet.

"You arse." Meredith mumbled and wacked him one. "You have no idea how scary it is to find out that you are pregnant!" she exclaimed as she hit him. "She's probably scared shitless right now."

Mark put his arms up to block Meredith's attacks.

"I was abandoned by both parents Mer, what kind of a father would be?" Mark asked.

"We all were" Grumbled Alex.

"Hmmm." Meredith sighed. "I'm going to go find Addie... if your not going to be happy about this then i will be."

Mark sighed and refused to look up at her.

"I'll go, I'm going" she said in a shaky voice, leaving both boys to think about their impending parenthood.
