Necklace

Cormac's POV:

         Meredith. That's all that I've been thinking about. She's on my mind everyday and it's driving me crazy. I see her all around me in the hospital and all I want is to just talk to her about my day or just to make her laugh. But I lost the right to do that. Now I just see her with her brother or her sister. It makes me so furious knowing that I messed everything up and hurt her in the end. We have patients together sometimes and I hate how we act professional. We act like nothing ever happened between us. Like it was just a dream and our reality set in. Today I decided to take the day off and call in sick. I just can't stand seeing her and not being able to hold her or be her safe space. I just hated how badly I messed up. I knew better. I knew how this would end up and I still chose my desire over her feelings. That's the worst part knowing what I did and didn't do. I decided that today I'm going to tidy up the house a bit.

I got off my bed and went down stairs and started cleaning up the living room area. I picked up random items I had scattered all over the place. Something then caught my eye. I saw a gold chain almost under the couch entirely. I bent down and grabbed it. It was a necklace. Who's necklace is this? I thought to myself. The only women that's been in my house was Meredith. It must be hers. I contemplated for a couple minutes and decided to go and return it. It would be a good excuse to see her instead of sneaking glances to her. I would also be able to talk to her without acting completely professional.

Meredith's POV:

Today and tomorrow were my days off and I decided to hang out with Elijah. We were outside in the backyard sipping our beers. We just looked out and took the moment in. The breeze of fresh air, the smell of nature and the view. It was such a beautiful day today. It was sunny but a little chilly. The perfect temperature. Which is rare here in Seattle. " So what do you want to do tomorrow?" Elijah asked and looked forward and sipped his beer. " Uh I don't know. What do you want to do?" I asked. " That's why I asked you." he said and we both chuckled. " I guess we can have a cookout with just the family." I suggested. " Here?" he asked. " Yea I guess." I said. " You do realize the house is a mess." he said. " I know thats why I said only family." I replied. " I'll tell dad and lex." he said. I nodded and took another sip of my beer. That's when I heard the doorbell. " I got it." Elijah said and got up to answer the door.

It seemed as if he was taking forever so I got up to see who it was. I walked back inside all the way to the front door. To my surprise I saw Cormac there. " 'Lijah you can go, I got it." I said looking at Cormac. " You sure?" Elijah asked. " Yea I'm sure." I looked at him and went to where he was previously standing.

" Don't worry I won't be long, I just came to return something." Cormac said. I looked at him confused until he pulled something out of his pocket. " I found it in my living room, I'm assuming it's yours." he said holding out my gold necklace. " Oh thank you." I said with a small smile. I looked into his eyes and it felt as nothing ever happened and we were okay. I zoned out for a second until I pulled myself out. " I'll go." he said. " Okay." I said and waved goodbye as he left the porch and I closed the door.

I walked over back outside and sat next to Elijah. " What did he return?" Elijah asked. " My necklace." I said. He looked at me so I would continue on. " When I stayed at his place I forgot my necklace. Well mom's necklace." I said and he nodded.

A few seconds went by and I spoke up. " What was mom like?" I asked. He faced me and chuckled a bit until he realized I was being serious. " You knew mom." he said. " No I mean bio mom." I clarified.

He took a deep breath and sat closer to me wrapping his arm around me. " Well from what I remember she was kind, generous and beautiful but she had her flaws. From the moment she had you she swore you would take after her and you did. From both of our mothers you definitely got their best qualities . Mom died loving you and I know you feel as if it was you fault but it wasn't. It was moms choice to have you naturally even though she knew it was risky. It was either you or her and she chose you. It was not you fault, never has been. No one blames you even if you blame yourself. It was her choice and she suffered the consequences. She knew it would happen. She wanted you and she had you. Even if it was for a couple of hours. She never regretted it. It was not your fault she loved you. I love you too. Little sister." he said and kissed my forehead. I couldn't control it and let a tear out. I grabbed the necklace and opened it. Before I could put it on Elijah grabbed it. He then put it on me and hugged me. We separated and he looked at me.

" It's ok." he said and smiled at me. " What?" I asked confused. " You love him. You don't need to deny it for me. I was upset about it but the more I think about it. Its not entirely his fault. Go get him mer. You can't help who you love. It wouldn't be fair for me to have the love of my life and me keeping me from yours." he said. I looked at him. " I love you." I told him. " And I love you." he responded. We then hugged each other.

A/N: Meredith has Elijah's approval now. I wonder what she's going to do with it.
