If Im Not In Love

She was nauseas. Her head hurt. Her boobs ached. There were a million things wrong with her right now and just to add the fact that she wanted to smack the next person who tried to give her baby name ideas was just bad. She had been at work for a week now with people giving their two cents and Meredith just wanted to be at home with her stupid idiot boyfriend and his stupid boy penis. It was his penis that got them into this mess and now she wanted to hit him too. She had smacked him this morning when he had told her she looked beautiful while she was throwing up and his mother was downstairs making something that she hoped Meredith would keep down. She hadn't kept it down at all but she would have if it wasn't for Carolyn Shepherd's stupid son's stupid boy penis.

Now, Meredith was at work, walking down the hall as Lexie went on and on about baby stuff and colors and old wives' tales and Meredith was considering decking her half sister one. "It's hot in here."

"Stop trying to change the subject." Lexie giggled, looking at her half sister. "I think you should wait to find out if its a boy or a girl before you decorate the nursery."

"Why? Derek is convinced the baby is a boy." Meredith groaned.

"What if he thinks its a boy and you buy airplanes and trucks and it ends up being a girl? You have to find out first. And then...decide on a theme."

"I know but we can do something neutral."

"You could...Oh! Like a carnival!" Lexie clapped her hands together.

"No...no carnival. No clowns or merry go-rounds or concessions in my kid's room." Meredith rolled her eyes, biting back the nausea she felt.

"Okay...no carnival...What about a beach? And seahorses and fish!"

"Okay....no." Meredith said quickly, placing a chart down at the nurses station. She had agreed to take it slow at the moment, only taking minor cases until she was less nauseas but she was beginning to think that was unreasonable. "Can we not plan a nursery yet?"

"Fine..." Lexie sighed. "What about the baby shower?"

"Oh God."

"You can get almost everything you need...except for the big stuff that you and Derek can pick out together."

"I could go for a surgery right now." Meredith walked up to the OR board, ignoring her sister.

"I thought you weren't doing surgeries right now." Lexie frowned.

"I promised Derek I would go light but if he's in surgery for hours and I just so happen to scrub in on something minor it doesn't matter."

"You have to take it easy, Meredith. I want my neice or nephew healthy."

"I have done my boyfriend's paperwork all day." Meredith frowned.

"I could help you." Lexie shrugged. "We could do it while we plan the shower."

"Lexie...it's too early."

"No it's not...when it comes time for the shower you're going to want to work as much as you can so we should do it now."

"No it's not...when it comes time for the shower you're going to want to work as much as you can so we should do it now."

"For the shower...you don't have to know the sex." Lexie continued. "But it helps..."

"Ok I'm just trying to survive morning sickness Lex and..."

"Here you are..." Derek smiled, coming around the corner near the OR board, pulling his scrub cap off of his head and kissing Meredith on the cheek. "How do you feel?"
