Hi everyone. Merry Christmas, I love the festive season. And you're getting a nice chapter from me this Christmas. I know Nancy is here, and that Nancy can be really bad, sometimes. But this is Christmas and I wanted a nice chapter, so, this one is going to be nice and Nancy will be her usual self but no significant arguments will be there. Or will they ? I guess you'll just have to read for yourselves.
It was Christmas. It was snowing in Seattle. Everyone was in a happy mood except Christina. She hated the holidays. For Meredith…..the last few days had been weird. Nancy was her sister-in-law and it was no secret that Nancy hated Meredith. But she didn't even talk to Meredith in these past days, it was as if for her, she would have been happier If Meredith didn't exist. Valerie on the other hand, Nancy's daughter was nothing like her. She absolutely loved Meredith and would talk to her all day. It was good for Meredith too, she wasn't nearly as good with children as she was with Valerie. She was a great kid.
Carolyn was happy. Meredith was getting discharged that day. Carolyn was keeping a secret and she wasn't very good with those. Derek was gonna propose to Meredith. Not technically proposing as Derek was just gonna ask Meredith if she wanted to spend her life with him and give her the ring. "Son," said Carolyn "You're basically defining it.". "I am still not sure how she will respond to it." said Derek "She isn't very romantic.". "I know that, son." said Carolyn "That's why I like her. She kind of completes you , balances all your…..". "Dreaminess?" said a voice from behind them. They turned back, it was Christina, and it looked like she had been listening for a long time. "Christina, what are you doing here ?" asked Derek. He was really tired of Christina creeping up on her. "What do ya think?" said Christina.
"Do you let all the residents spy on you ?" asked Carolyn, she was really frustrated with the way that Christina was behaving. "No, but because Meredith's 45% judgement relies on mine." said Christina with a snappy voice "I am a special case". "You know what ?" said Carolyn in a sarcastic voice. She was feeling really angry right now. "I don't really like.". "Right back at ya, McMommy." said Christina until she heard someone calling her name. "Christina!" shouted Izzy with Alex and George standing beside her. "Later, Shepards." said Christina as she rushed towards her friends.
"Why am I McMommy?" asked Carolyn in confusion. Derek let out a sigh. This was going to be a little difficult. "Cause I'm McDreamy, mom." said Derek, trying to explain "And you are my mom.
It makes sense." Carolyn gave him a doubtful look. "Hmmmm" said Carolyn "It doesn't. Why are you McDreamy ?". "It's….." said Derek "a long story." It would be pretty useless giving her an explanation. Derek could see Nancy coming towards them. He favoured his avoiding his sister. He didn't wanna fight. He wanted to be happy, in a good mood.
"So, I talked to Addison." said Nancy. Those were not the words that he wanted to hear. "She's still single, you know.". This was very wrong. Addison and Nancy talking could never turn out to be any good. "Yeah, Nancy." said Derek sarcastically "And I am going to be a father in 7 months, give or take. So, I'm pretty sure that I am not interested.". "Well, as I keep saying, it might not be yours." said Nancy "Before you both finally got together. Weren't you dating some other girl ? What if she had a one-night stand and got pregnant and now she says that you are the dad but you're not ? Ask for a paternity test is all I am asking you.". "Nancy…..stop this." said Derek.
"Stop you both. Stop fighting." said Carolyn "It's the holidays and….". "No one fights on the holidays." said Derek and Nancy completing their mother's most used line. "Good" said Carolyn "Now, be good children."
As Christina reached Izzie, Alex and George. Izzie went out on an angry rant but nothing could be made our as she was talking too quickly. "Izzie, breathe." said Christina "And go be angry on Meredith.". Izzie and Christina walked into Meredith's room where she was all ready to go and George and Alex followed. As the door flung open, Meredith smiled at the sight of Izzie. "Hi Izzie." said Meredith guiltily "It's been a while, hasn't ?". Her hands were on her stomach where the babies were. "You're pregnant? And I am knowing about it now ?" said Izzie as she went to stand in front of Meredith.
"Yeah." said Meredith "I am sorry ?". "Of course, I forgive you." said Izzie as she gave her a big smile. "The girl's too easy." said Alex, as a whisper. He felt someone tug at his coat. He looked around to see a little girl with blonde hair standing there. "Can you get me something?" asked the girl "I am hungry.". "Whose kid are ya ?" asked Alex in a frank manner. "Hi that's not how you talk to a kid." said George, interrupting in between. He bent down and asked "Are you lost ?".
"She is Derek's niece." said Meredith "Can you both get her something ?". "Sure." said George and dragged Alex with him. "Meredith, you are glowing." said Izzie "Oh, I am so happy for you. We are going to do so many things for these babies. I am gonna knit them sweaters and socks. What theme are you planning for the nursery ?". Meredith made a look at Christina which said Help!. "It's too early, Izzie." said Christina "We will talk on this after she reaches…...17th week ?". Just then the door flung open and Carolyn walked inside. "Let's go, Meredith.".
Something is not right. Thought Meredith. Carolyn was happy, too happy. It seemed awfully suspicious. But anyway without saying anything, Meredith allowed herself to be led away from the room by Christina. As she was still on the wheelchair, she couldn't even run away if something wrong came her way. She could see people, looking at her, with a very bizarre look. A look like something was going to happen. What was it that they knew but she didn't.
They arrived on the elevator and they stopped in front of the elevator which was not yet open. The other one was already open. "Why can't we go in taht elevator ?" asked Meredith. Carolyn looked at her in a she has no idea what's going to happen way. "We just can't." said Carolyn leaving no way open for argument.
As the doors opened, Meredith could see Derek standing in the elevator with a smile on his face. The doors had scans on them which gave the whole elevator a violet effect. It all seemed so beautiful and yet so unexpected to her. "Come on in….."
Don't come at me with those comments saying this was very delayed. Cause I know it was very delayed. But I put up a chapter. And isn't holiday season all about forgiving. So, hope you enjoy this chapter and I certainly hope that you enjoy these holidays.
Merry Christmas
Love, Allison
