Hi, this is me trying to update on time and also miserably failing on it. Haha. Also, so so sorry for this chapter. I had to do this. No, no one's dying. Something else is happening, something that will change things, that will put siblings against each other and a mother will be caught in between. Complications would occur, and there will be disagreements. On with the chapter, by the way, this is so fun to write.

"I cannot believe I fell asleep like this." said Nancy as she woke up on a couch in Addison's hotel room. Her head was throbbing with pain, her eyes red, she had a killer hangover. It wasn't nearly as fun as those vodka shots were. As she finally opened her eyes, the rays of sun almost penetrating her, irritating her as if sunshine to a vampire.

There was a sound, sound killing her, deafening to her ears. It was the sound of a pager, how could she ever forget it, the sound that had bothered her on birthdays, her sleeps, probably got her divorced. She opened her eyes to look around and saw Addison awake, all dressed up and just heading out.

"Oh! You're awake." said Addison as she turned to face Nancy. "You're going ?" Nancy asked in a groggy voice "How do you not have a hangover ?".

"It's Tuesday. Of course, I didn't drink much last night. I have to work." said Addison. "You can be here as long as you want. You would probably not want to go to your kid hungover.".

Nancy noded in agreement as she sank down on the couch. Meanwhile, Addison went out to begin a new day.

Meredith Grey was having a great day. She woke up with less morning sickness and was actually feeling great. The ring was still on her finger and it was actually kind of nice. She had actually cooked, for the first time in months, pancakes, and even if Carolyn didn't like it, she didn't say anything about it because she was well, too aware of pregnancy hormones. She also was unexpectedly having fun with Valerie, Nancy's daughter.

She didn't want to say it, but a part of the reason for her having a great day was because of the absence of Nancy and Addison, the absence of grumbling, sarcasm and people thinking that she was a gold digger. Yes, Alex had gone to Jo's after the hospital and heard all the conversations between Nancy and Addison. He didn't intend to but he did and being the good friend he is, Meredith knew all about their conversation.

And she was probably going to change her OB. As if Derek's ex-wife being one of the first people to see his children wasn't awkward enough, she had to also talk about her insecurities, and that had made it more, more awkward. She had an appointment with her that day, which she could not put away, but that would be her last appointment with her. She hadn't told Derek about it, of course. She didn't want an argument between him and his sister.

Right now, she was in the elevator with Derek, going for her OB appointment, last one with Addison. She had to tell Derek about that. "I'm uncomfortable." she said, out of the blue. But it did get his attention. "I want it to be my last OB appointment with Addison. I want to change my OB. She's your ex-wife , you never had any kids and now she takes scans of her ex-husband's children. That's neither normal not comfortable, Derek. That's awkward, very awkward."

Derek agreed without any argument. "If that's what you want." he said, a little taken aback at her sudden decision, of course he didn't know the reason behind this was the interesting conversation between Addison and Nancy.

Meredith walked into the exam room, with Derek being pulled into a surgery. She was all alone. She opened the door to see Addison with her smiling face. She didn't return that smile, but just sat down without saying a word.

Addison squirted cold gel on her stomach and used the Doppler to take scans. In a split second, the photo of two foetuses appeared on the screen. Two beating hearts. She could hear the sound. Addison printed out the scan. Meredith didn't smile nor did she say anything. There was this awkward silence in the room. As Addison checked Meredith's blood pressure, a certain look came over her face.

Now, this could have something to do with her babies. She had to say something. "What? What is it? You've got a look." said Meredith, pointing to her face. "You have high blood pressure. You're at your 14th week. And this may not be anything, but…." said Addison, but was cut off by Meredith.

"But what ?" asked Mereditg with a desperate look on her face and an uneasiness in her voice. "Your a first time mother and your having twins. Such mothers are at higher risk for gestational hypertension. And you have high blood pressure." said Addison "I will need a urine sample to double check it , but you probably have it, Meredith."

Meredith could take it no more. She took her hand away from the machine, and took her coat. "Meredith, what are you doing ?" asked Addison, concerned "I'm just trying to help you.".

Before walking out the door, Meredith shot Addison a look and said "I'll have anyone but you helping me."

"Could you give me a pen ?" asked Izzie, as she had to do charts. "Find your own pen." Meredith lashing out on Izzie. "Meredith, you're gonna make a little girl cry." said Christina, as she leaned against the counter to catch a breath. She turned to Izzie and said "Don't worry, kid, her mom hormones are kicking in."

"She's pissed off. Nancy and Addison are ganging up on her." said Izzie, understanding the source of her frustration. "Addison told me to pee in a cup." she said, irritated. "Care to explain?" said Christina as Izzie almost chocked on the chocolate she was eating. "I have high blood pressure. I may have gestational hypertension." explained Meredith with a slightly worried look.

"You're going to be fine, Meredith. You don't have to worry." said Christina, in a comforting tone. "Gestational hypertension is treatable. If it doesn't get fixed, then there can be placental abruption." said Izzie, making Meredith even more worried and visibly anxious. Christina gave Izzie a look that said way to go, Barbie!. "Meredith, I am sure there's nothing to worry about." said Chrsitina, and Meredith nodded in agreement but she wasn't so sure herself.

Meredith had given her pee for testing. And also requested a new OB. Dr. Lewis told her she would be more than happy to see her. And she took over all the files. Meredith could take a breathe right now, she was in control and she had nothing to worry about, for now. She was in a on-call room. Alone there, laying all by herself, with her thoughts and herself.

The door opened, and like a vision from heaven, Derek appeared. She hadn't seen him all day. "Hey! How did your appointment go ?" asked Derek with a smile on his face. She hated when he did that , it made it so harder to lie to him. "Good" she lies. He moves to the bed on which she's laying, and lies beside her. He puts his arms around her. Meredith feels safe in his arms, a feeling of security washes over her and it really does seem as if he's her night in shining whatever. She couldn't lie to him.

"Derek, I lied." said Meredith as she sat up. Seeing the serious look on her face, Derek also sat up concerned on what was happening. "The appointment did not went good. Addison said that I could have gestational hypertension. And I was angry, not angry on the probability of that, but because it was her, she was the one who hates me and she doesn't want us happy, either.".

"Meredith, slow down. I don't understand. What do you mean?" said Derek. "What I mean is that,your sister and Addison they hate me. Addison's jealous and it's supposed to be okay or something, but it's not. And Nancy, she think that I'm a gold digger and I deliberately got pregnant to keep you from leaving.". Meredith rambled on, and was interrupted by Derek asking who had told her this. She told him how Alex had overheard Nancy and Addison talking and how they were talking shit about her. Derek looked stunned at the sound of it. He knew that Nancy didn't really like her but talking crap about her like that was a new low for her.

After hearing it all, Derek stood up and said "I'll take care of it."as he walked out the door. Meredith had not wanted to put Derek against anyone, his family already blamed her as the reason he never visited and now, she would be the one putting family against each other. She couldn't have that. She tried to follow Derek but to no avail. And that moment she knew that this was so not gonna end up okay.

So, at the end. Meredith might have gestational hypertension. Addison is fired as an OB. Derek and Nancy are gonna have a serious clash of siblings. And Mama Carolyn will be torn in between her children. And also, I think people are busy at this time of the year. Like, it's holidays for me but I don't think other people are free. Still, at least give me 5 comments, please. For a fast update. And the weekends are going on, so show me some love.
