Continuation of If/Then

Part 13

"You haven't divorced her yet!!" Meredith screamed at Derek in an on call room.

"Look Meredith, I have been very busy." He said and tried to smile at her.

"Derek. You have been telling me that we are going to settle down. Have three kids. Grow old together. And you are still married to someone else. We have a fucking dog together!" 

"I am sorry I just haven't even been thinking about Addison."

"Do you even want to divorce her?"

Derek stood there in shock. How could Meredith even think that? 

"Meredith! Do you think it's easy to cut someone out of my life like that?"

"So you still want her in your life?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then why are you finding it so difficult to divorce her."

"Because I don't even want to think about her let alone talk to her."

"If you still have all these feelings towards Addison why are you with me?"

"I am just angry at her. She told me she was having my child!" 

"So you wish she was having your child?"

"No!"

"Then what?"

"I wanted to be a father."

"Ohhhhh. So you don't want to have children with me, you just want to have children with someone."

"Meredith."

"You know what I got to go."

Meredith left the room that they had been shouting at each other in. When she entered the hallway, she saw several faces staring at her. Apparently they were shouting quite loudly.

She made her way over to Joe's where she downed a concerning amount of alcohol, until she had absolutely no memory of the night.

The next morning Meredith awoke to a roar.

"WHAT THE FUCK MEREDITH!"  

She raised her head to look at Derek in the doorway of their bedroom.

"Derek... don't yell. I'm so hungover."

"NO I THINK I AM GOING TO YELL"

"Dude, shut up"

All the blood drained from Meredith's face. She immediately got out of bed to see the stranger sprawled out on Derek's side of the bed.

"ACTUALLY. I THINK I AM GOING PUNCH SOME-"

He cut himself off with the sound of his fist hitting the face of the now sitting up stranger in their bed.

"DEREK!" Meredith cried out as she quickly put on a t-shirt from the ground.

"STOP GET OFF OF HIM!" She peeled Derek off of him.

Derek calmed down to the best of his ability and sat down on the ground in the corner of the room and put his head in his knees.

"Here are you clothes, you should leave. I am so sorry." Meredith said while guiding the man out of the room.

She then returned to their bedroom and sat down next to Derek.

With tears streaming down his face, "how could you?" 

Meredith put her hand on his arm but he flinched it away.
