Merhayes Valentine's

Ten bucks

Meredith's POV:
"Cormac Hayes I love you" I say standing between his legs. He rests his hands on my hips "I love you." He replies looking up at me. His icy blue eyes lock with my green ones as I place my hands on his cheeks leaning down for a quick kiss. I pull away still looking at cormac as he pulls me on his lap. I sit with my legs stretching over his, my arms wrapped around him "Thank you babe." I whisper as I lay my head on his shoulder. "Mhm... stop shutting me out. I'm here this is my job. I love you and you're not alone." Cormac whispers. I smile hiding my head in his neck. "I'm sorry." I say.

I feel perfect in Cormac's arms. He knows exactly what I need and he makes everything okay.

"For what?" He asks running his hand through my hair. "Everything... for not being able to hold our baby, for being distant, for not letting you in." I explain. Cormac kisses my temple not responding to what I said.

Cormac's POV:
I hate that Meredith is blaming herself for this, it's not her fault. I'm glad I got her to smile and talk to me.

"Mer... it's not your fault, you didn't do it. Don't apologize." I reply after kissing her temple. She doesn't say anything. "You okay?" I ask wrapping my arms around her lower waist locking my hands by her hip. She shakes her head no. "I don't feel good... I want to go home and lay in bed." She replies. I sigh "I know... we can go home soon." Meredith starts crying not because she's hurt but because she feels like crap, she's in a crappy situation. "Hey, don't cry... you're to pretty to cry." I say as Meredith giggles. "You can't be to pretty to cry... everyone cries." She protests picking her head up. "You're to pretty to cry." I repeat. Meredith wipes her face "let me up I don't want to hurt you." She says. I let my hands go "you're not hurting me, I liked it." I say as she walks to the couch. "Come sit with me." I get up walking over to where she is.

Meredith's POV:
I lay my head on Cormac's lap as the door opens. "Grey!" Bailey yells as Bailey and Richard walk in. "Bailey." Richard mumbles. She turns to see him understanding what he was implying.

"You okay Mer?" Richard asks. I smile as Cormac runs his fingers through my hair like he loves to do. "I'm okay." I reply "Bailey I need the day off tomorrow... or just no surgeries"

Cormac's POV:
I walk into the hospital holding Meredith's hand. She looks down as I rub my thumb in the back of her hand. "I love you." She says looking up at me. I smile and kiss her quick "I love you more." I reply as I swing out hands a little. Meredith layers her head on my shoulder as we walk. "You're back? Please say you're back..." jo says as we walk through the pit. Meredith smiles "I'm back." Jo practically jumps with joy "thank god! I mean I'm happy you're better but I cannot handle being in charge of that for another day." She explains Meredith looks at her like she is stupid "Wilson it's been one day..." Meredith says still resting her head on my arm. "A day too long." Jo replies before being called over to trauma two.

"You okay?" I ask as we walk into the attendings lounge. "Yes... stop asking that. You have asked me ten times since I got in the car with you." Meredith replies as she lets go of my hand standing up fully. "I just want to make sure." I reply opening my locker. "Grey! You okay to work today?" Bailey asks swing the door open. "Yes I am fine, both of you. I'm fine." She says as she pulls her hair back into a low pony. "That's... not what we asked you." I say as Bailey walks into the attendings lounge all the way. Meredith sighs turning to see me and Bailey. "I had a miscarriage. No I'm not okay, I'm not going to be okay but the world doesn't stop because I had a bad week. Stop asking I am fine." She says slamming her locker. She walks past Bailey to me stopping in front of me. "I'm mad at you... have a good day, text me. And I love you but I'm still mad." She says as she starts to walk away I smile pulling her arm back. "What?" She asks with a snappy attitude.

"I love you too." I say looking at her. "I'm still mad." She replies trying to hide the fact that she was smiling "Mhm... kiss me and go save a life." I respond. Meredith goes on her tippy toes kissing me quickly because Bailey is watching us. "Grey..." Bailey says as Meredith pulls away from me. "Bailey I'm not doing this today-" Meredith replies rolling her eyes which Bailey can't see. "Have a good day... if you need a break take one." Bailey replies walking out of the room. "K I have to go, I love you." Meredith says looking at me. "You want a kiss don't you?" She questions I nod smiling. "Hmm too bad. Have a good day." She says walking out of the room. "I hate you!" I yell.

Amelia walks into the attendings lounge as I start to make coffee. "So Mer isn't talking to me..." she says sitting down I roll my eyes with my back to her. "And you two are all... all so I was wondering-" I turn around as she says this. "I'm obligated to love you but that doesn't mean I have to get Mer to talk to you... she'll talk when she's ready." I turn back around picking up my cup of coffee. "You didn't even let me finish." Amelia says. I nod sipping my coffee as I sit down. "No need. You were going to say can you talk to her and tell her I need her you always do mila... she loves you she will talk when she's ready." I say. Amelia looks around for a little while before looking at me. "But I do need her. What if she doesn't talk?" Amelia asks. I take a deep breath "she will. She needs you more than either of you think." Amelia shakes her head "ten bucks she doesn't talk till you say something." I look at Amelia shaking my head as I stand up. "I'm not betting on my girlfriend. I love her and that would be... rude."
