Unbroken
Chapter 6
Mark walked up to a sobbing Meredith and sat down beside her. He put his arm around her and pulled her to him.
"sh...sh... its ok... it's ok to cry..."
"Mark get away from me! I seriously don't want to talk to you!"
He knew she was upset and expected her to act out at him but he was not going to give the hospital gossip mill anymore fuel.
"Just let me get you out of the hallway first then I'll leave you alone."
Meredith looked at Mark.
"Fine," Meredith snapped back at him.
He lead her to the resident locker room, and watched her enter he knew that he had to keep his word but he was truly worried about her. He decided to page Christina.
Christina came running up to Mark.
"What did you do to her?"
"Nothing. Can you please just go and check on her?"
Christina entered the locker-room and saw Meredith laying on the bench just looking off into space. She slowly approached her so not to scare her.
"Meredith? Are you ok?"
The only responds she got was Meredith's sobs.
What did Mark do to you?"
Sobs came louder...
Christina slowly sat down in front of the bench, on the floor.
"Meredith, what happened? Mark of all people paged me. therefore, something has to be wrong. So can you please talk...?"
Meredith finally turned and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"I'm pregnant"
"Ok" Christina was unsure how to respond to this.
"It's Mark's baby I've ruined my future with Derek because of a mistake one drunken mistake"
"You told Derek..."
"Yes Mark knows too..."
"You slept with Mark Sloan..."
"Please don't remind me!"
"Why didn't you tell me when did this happen?"
"When Derek was dating that Rose person. We got drunk we were both sad and it just happened"
Were you drinking telquilia? I mean you get so drunk with that stuff..."
"NOT HELPING!"
"Fine. WOW! you're pregnant..."
"yep."
"with the man whores baby..."
"YES..."
"Sorry Mer really I'm just trying to understand everything your telling me I'm not sure how to help you here"
"I know and I have no answers"
"You know you have options"
"I know but my mind is spinning right now"
"Well whatever you decide to do we're here for you all of us."
"I just need Derek but he walked away. "
Christina stood up and sat on the bench next to Meredith .She then motioned to her lap... Meredith laded down...
"I am sure he will come to his senses"
"I know why he walked away I just wish he didn't and let me explain"
"Give him some time Mer he'll come around because your it for each other nothing can break you apart."
"This just might"
"Meredith stop! Every time you two break up. You always seem to find your way back to each other."
"I know... But this time I don't think that he will be able to forgive me..."
"Meredith. If he doesn't I swear that I will help you raise this baby..."
"Thank you really but this is not your problem I have to deal with whatever unfolds."
"You'll never be alone because I'm your person"
"You know that I love you. However, I need to go and find Derek. We really need to talk. I will make him. Even if you doesn't want to..."
Before Christina could say another word. Meredith was up and out of the locker room..."
Mark looked at her leaving and then went into the locker room...
"How'd it go?" Mark said lowly
"You know you're an idiot right?" Christina remarked
"I know"
"I can't believe you slept with her that was the dumbest thing you could've done "
"I know just tell me how to fix it so she doesn't lose the love of her life."
"Did I just here Mark Sloan say that?"
"Yeah..."
"When did you get all soft?"
"Look Christina, I know how it feels to lose the one you love..."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah... really!"
"When did you lose someone you loved?"
"About a month ago... Addi..."
Christina was silent for a minute.
"What?"
"Yeah... she cheated on me..."
Christina's face was stunned.
"Uh… I'm sorry"
"Yeah I bet"
"No really I am I know what it's like to be left by the person you love"
Mark knew she was talking about Burke Christina like to think she was a hardcore surgeon but she really did have a soft spot and Mark had hit it.
Mark stood there for a second looking at Christina...
"Thanks. You know I really did not mean for this to happen. I spent all day in car to come back here. In addition, I was mad at Addison, I came in here and ordered a few beers, and then Meredith came in. And something happened with Derek and we started to talk and the next thing I know we are in bed waking up with headaches..."
"I don't need the whole story we just need to fix this for our friends"
"I know Mer is scared that she lost Derek for good but I know he still loves her he's just angry right now"
"Ok... so lets go and see what is going on with Meredith... She went to the pit to find Derek..."
Christina and Mark left the locker unsure what to expect next they hoped that everything would be ok or their friends but with Derek and Meredith, you never knew what the outcome would be.
