Unbroken
Chapter 16
When Mark and Derek re enter Meredith's hospital room, it is obvious to Meredith and Addison that they must have had a talk. They noticed that Addison was doing an ultrasound and Meredith had tears rolling down her face while she looked at the screen. Both Mark and Derek took a spot by Meredith's head and looked at the screen in awe.
I never thought I would be doing scans on Meredith's to look at Mark's baby.
Meredith shoots Addie a look, but no one says anything else. Letting Addie continue with the ultrasound, they wait quietly, Addie talking terms while all three of them nod. Addie continues the ultrasound. She tries to stay professional, advising them of what she see's. Every now and then, she slips in a jibe about the baby and the situation the trio have found themselves in.
Meredith bites her lip and tries to refrain from comment, especially when she knew about what she had done to Mark. Once Addie is finished, she hands Derek a tissue and allows him to wipe Meredith's stomach to remove the excess gel. As he does this Addie steps back and watches the trio, trying to get a general scope of each persons perspective.
Once he is finish both Derek and mark, rest their hands on Meredith's stomach.
She beams up at them, loving being the centre of attention.
"She looked good." Derek tells her as his other hand gives hers a squeeze.
"She's a Sloan what do you expect?" Mark replies with a chuckle. Both boys look up at each other and grin. Meredith lets out a sigh of relief as she looks up at both of them.
"I'm glad you have both made piece." She murmurs. "Who'd have thought that you could both get past this and come to an agreement?"
Both boys nod, the trio has now tuned out the fact that Addie is even in the room.
"I want our baby to feel that she is loved by al of her parents." She says honestly. "I don't want her thinking that her real daddy doesn't love her. And I don't want to have to argue over visiting rights." She adds pointedly.
"Mer what are you saying?" Derek asks nervously.
"I'm saying that all 3 of us should get a house together." She tells him.
"Its the only way its fair." She finishes.
Both boys look at each other and back down at Mer
"Yeah?" mark asks
In addition, Meredith nods. "Derek?" she asks, waiting for a response.
Derek looks between Meredith and mark before he nods. "That's a fantastic idea." He murmurs as he leans in to kiss Meredith. Reassuring her that the decision was fine
