After hearing my baby's heartbeat I had gotten Dr. Bailey to print off a picture of the scan for me. Even though I was only 8 weeks pregnant so it just looked like a greyish blob, but it was my greyish blob. Well mine and Alex's. That is if he ever even acknowledged I was pregnant which he had yet to do.
I pulled up to Meredith and Derek's house only to see Alex pulling into the driveway at the same time as me.
"Hey Alex," I called to him jogging over next to him. "I got an ultrasound today if you want to see," He just brushed me off and walked in. I followed him into the living room where Mark and Lexie, who were recently married, had an announcement for everyone.
"I'm pregnant," Lexie shouted joyfully. I of course was delighted for my old student, but I looked over to Alex and saw he had turned the colour of a sheet. He quickly composed himself, mumbled a congratulations to his old lover and took a swig of his beer.
"Congratulations Lexie, how far along are you?" I asked, the younger taking my attention off Alex.
"About 3 months," She responded, her voice filled with delight. I wished Alex would have taken the same approach to the pregnancy as Mark had with Lexie, I understand that they're married but weren't Alex and I married once upon a time?
"Meredith," I hollered and quickly waved her into the kitchen, she followed me in with Zola on her hip pulling away at her mother's hair.
"I have something to show you," I said with a smile pulling the ultrasound picture out of my pocket. Her face lit up with delight and we became so engrossed in my unborn child everyone else outside our little bubble was forgotten about.
"Aw Steven's, it has your wavy black lines," Derek commented snapping us out of our little bubble.
"Karev know yet?" I nodded, looking down at my nails. "What's he done?"
"Nothing , Derek, that's exactly what he's done, sweet frick all," I snapped back.
He just nodded knowing better than to try and talk me out of the rampage I was about to go on.
"So, Izze were are you staying tonight?" Mere asked breaking the awkward silence.
"I was thinking about getting a motel,"
"Nonsense you'll stay here, in your old room,"
"B-"
"That's final," Meredith said with one of her good old dark and twisty glares.
I called out a final goodnight to everyone as I ascended the staircase and made my way into my old bedroom which still had so many memories, I was sat on my bed taking everything in when I heard a soft knock on the door followed by Alex opening it.
"Do you have it on you?" He asked his voice slightly slurred but we were talking so I didn't care in the slightest.
"Do I have what Alex?" I assumed he meant the engagement ring or the wedding one.
"The ultrasound Iz," I softened slightly at the old nickname and nodded slightly.
"Could I um, come on Iz I've never been good with this just show me the damn ultrasound," He said getting frustrated that he couldn't get the right words out.
I pulled it out of my pocket as he sat down next to me on the bed.
"Wow, that's our baby, We're gonna have a baby," He said allowing it to sink in.
"Yeah, Alex we are," I said knowing for the first time since I first started trying to get pregnant that I wouldn't be doing this alone.
