Hey guys sorry I've been taking so long, but I thought about it and I think I'm gunna give it a try and see where it goes. So please read and review. Thanks
When Derek woke up he found that the bed next to him was empty. He didn't even realize he had fallen asleep. He looked around the room for a couple of minutes, and then he heard the toilet flush and the sink start to run. Meredith came out a minute later she still looked pale and wasn't moving very fast but she wasn't sweating which I took as a good sign. He looked up at him as she was walking to the bed.
"Hi" she said
"Hey, how are feeling"
"I'm ok I guess, haven't thrown up yet so I take that as a good thing" She smiled for a second and then it disappeared.
"Ya that's good. Do you want me to go get anything for you?' he asked
"Maybe some water? And Zola" she said sheepishly
"Are you sure you're better because I don't want her getting sick?"
"Ya I'm sure I just really want to cuddle with her. Please"
"Fine I'll go get her"
Derek got up out of bed and went downstairs to get Meredith some water and pills. He then went back upstairs to Alex's old bedroom to get Zola. She was happily rolling around in her crib.
"Hey Zo" he said softly
She smiled back at him, it was a toothless smile and it was really cute. Derek picked her up and carried her into his and Meredith's bedroom. As soon as Zola saw Meredith she started to wiggle and try get out of my arms.
"hey Zola calm down" Derek told her
Meredith face lit up to a little bit "Hey Zola" she said softly
I gave Meredith Zola and she cuddled right in as if she missed Meredith. He also gave Meredith her pills and water.
"I'll go get her a bottle she hasn't ate in a while"
"Ok" she said
As Derek went downstairs Meredith stayed in bed and cuddled Zola closely
"I missed you Zo. Don't tell your Daddy but I still don't feel well I just lied so I could see you. I don't know how to talk to him or tell him the truth. I mean if I wasn't sick would he still be here or would he have already left? I know he came and cuddled me but I don't know if I can trust him" she said sadly
The whole time Derek stood outside of the door. He didn't know how it got this bad but he knew one thing and that was how much he still loved her and he wasn't going to give up.
Derek walked into the room "Here you go Zo" he said as he handed her a bottle
"Did you take the pills I gave you?"
"Yes I did, thanks" She replied quietly
There was a couple minutes of silence
"Well I'm going to go order some pizza for us, is there anything else you want?"
"No thanks"
Derek went downstairs to go order the pizza. After he ordered it Lexie came out of the kitchen.
"Hey how is she?"Lex asked
"She looks better but not totally great; I got her to eat some food though which is good."
"Ya it is. How are you doing?"
"I'm ok I guess" He sighed
"What does that mean?"
"I just…. I heard her talking to Zola and she seems really hurt…it says on the post it no running no matter what, and I broke that, I ran and it hurt her"
"Well your back now and your trying, what more can you do?"
"Nothing I guess, thanks for this talk Lex, I really needed it"
The doorbell rang and it was the pizza delivery guy, Derek paid him and went back upstairs to our bedroom
As Derek walked into the room Meredith jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. Derek quickly set the pizza on the bed and made sure Zola wouldn't fall off the bed. He ran into the bathroom to see Meredith throwing up again. He rushed to her side and held her hair back. When she was finally done she collapsed by the toilet.
"I guess it wasn't just because I wasn't eating then" she said weakly
"Hopefully you just have the flu, come on let's get you back to bed"
Please Review, Thanks
