Richard could not figure out why Meredith was so upset about this. He figured she is scared but that she would not want to tell Derek.
"Meredith why are you so upset over this?"
"Because it might not be his baby"
Richards's mouth was wide open. He was not sure if he heard what she said correctly.
"It was one stupid night it happened Derek proposed the first time and I said no because I wasn't ready and he went off to have an affair with that nurse Rose. I was upset so I went to Joe's because I thought I had finally lost the love of my life for the last time. Well Mark was there and he saw me and realized I was upset and came over to me we started talking and he told me that he had tried and that he had rejected by Addison once again. Therefore, we were dealing with our misery together and got drunk and slept with each other. "
"Hold on. Hold on. You Meredith Grey slept with Mark Sloan. You slept with the man that everyone called the Manwhore of Seattle Grace Hospital? In addition, don't you remember the aftermath of what happened with Mark and Derek when Mark slept with Addie? I mean at least I thought that you would have some common sense."
"I know it was stupid and now my life is ruin. Therefore, I do not get my happy ending. It was not as if I thought I would anyway."
Then a sob burst from her body and the chief was at a lost on how to comfort her Richard slowly walked over to Meredith. He sat down slowly...
"Uh... It is going to be ok Meredith. I am sure Derek will understand."
"Very unlikely he'll see it as a betrayal I mean I did the same thing Addison with the same man no less there is no way Derek can come back from that twice."
"I just cannot understand why you would do something like that. You knew that Derek didn't act all that well towards Addie when he found out about her and Mark."
"That's why he can't know"
"But isn't honesty the best thing in a relationship?"
"How do I tell him that I did the worst thing possible?"
"Mer I can't answer that for you but I can tell you I'll be here to support you in whatever you decide"
"Thank You"
"No thanks necessary you know I think of you as my daughter"
"I love you for that"
I have always loved you. No matter what that will never change!"
Meredith gave him a quick hug and got up and left his office.
As she walked, she was in a trance...As if she was not there in her body. It was as if she was a zombie. She walked not knowing into the pit. She walked right past Mark who was trying to get her attention.
Mark looked at her as she passed him...
Mark then ran up to her...
"Meredith. Meredith..."
Meredith stops walking...
"Meredith are you ok?"
Meredith stared into space.
"Meredith..."
Mark waved his hand in front of her face.
"Uh…. Mark…"
"Yeah I said are you ok?"
"I'm fine thanks"
Mark knew not to believe her but he did not want to say anything in front of the crowed pit.
"Meredith I know something is wrong so come on we are going to go somewhere and talk"
Mark reached out and touched her arm...
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
"Meredith what is wrong?"
"DO NOT TOUCH ME!"
Mark took a step back...
He had no clue why Meredith was acting like this. He never saw her this upset over anything. In addition, he really did not want to see her upset...
