My Little Girl

Chapter 6

Derek could not understand Meredith's train of thought why would she agree to carry Alex and Izzie's baby without even thing about how it would affect their lives as a couple. He wasn't completely heartless he understood why Izzie had asked Meredith to fulfill her final wish he knew that at most Izzie only had a matter of days left. He still had a heavy heat over still not being able to save her if only they had caught it sooner.

Meanwhile Alex Izzie's room looking at her she slept trying to understand the logic of her thought process about asking Meredith and to carry their child without discussing it with him first.

Truthfully, Alex didn't want to picture the world without Izzie being alive to raise their child as a couple. He was looking out her with tears in the corner of his eyes he laid his head on her chest just so he could feel her heartbeat even though it is weakened it still gave him peace of mind that she was alive. He kissed her on the cheek looked the main engagement ring that was on her hand gave her hand a final squeeze and left the room.

Meanwhile, down in the basement of the hospital Meredith was still fuming about how Derek reacted to in Izzie's final request truthfully part of her to want to deny request because it would mean putting her life on hold. But in recent months and weeks her relationship with Derek had deteriorated to what she thought was beyond repair she still didn't feel ready to commit to marriage and children with him because she truthfully still did not trust him to not leave her when things tough like they had in the past.

Meredith finally came to a decision, that she would have a discussion with Derek only to make clear that they were over and that he no longer had any say in what she did with her future. She went upstairs to the surgical floor went to the nurses' station, and asked Olivia to page Derek.

She waited for him in the on-call room, she took a seat on the lower bunk and planned out what she was about to say. Derek arrived 10 minutes later, he looked at her with love in his eyes hoping she'd come to her senses about this whole situation.

"Mer you had me paged?"

"Yeah"

"Did you make a decision?"

"I gave it a lot of thought and I did make a decision, Derek I can't deny Izzie's last wish I spoke with Alex he's not ready at the moment to deal with what this will entail but he did not dismiss the idea completely. So I have committed to him when he's ready I will carry their child and if you cannot accept it, I see no future for us I'm sorry. "

Derek was stunned to say least he couldn't even form a coherent thought to respond to Meredith's declaration so he just looked at her turned around and exited the on-call room.

Meredith was relieved that her complicated love life was now less complicated. She was not on the bunk for a few minutes longer contemplating what lie ahead.
