Meredith Grey-Montgomery

Chapter 21

Mark and Meredith have been sleeping together for 2 months now. So far, only Amelia and Christina know about them.

"Damn, you are getting so good at that Montinette," Mark says as they lay next to each other panting.

"What can I say? I have an excellent teacher," Meredith kisses him giggling.

"Go out with me, for real"

"Mark-"

"Come on Mer, don't get me wrong, this has been amazing, but I think we could take it up a notch," Mark says looking at her.

"It risks popping the little bubble we have around us right now Mark, I just don't want to do that just yet," 

We lay down in silence until we both got paged out of the on-call room.

"He asked you out?" Christina whispers as they got ready for rounds.

"Yeah right after sex, who does that?" Meredith pulls on her labcoat while Amelia fixes the collar.

"Well, to be fair, you've been sleeping together for the last few months, maybe he's looking for more," Amelia says.

"All I'm saying is we're happy now, we have this bubble, without the worry and responsibility, and I never did that in a long time. I've been with Jackson for 7 years for Godsakes," Meredith explains to them but she was really just trying to explain to herself.

Before the two could retaliate, Bailey comes in, "Did you fools come here to work or have a tea party? Let's move people!" And with that, they scrambled on to rounds.

In addition to Meredith's train of thought with Mark, she was also not feeling herself today so she thought she was just having a case of the flu.

"You alright there Montgomery? You look like crap" Bailey asks her intern, as they finish rounding on a patient.

"I'm fine, Dr. Bailey,"

"You better be, I don't want you puking on any of my patients today," Bailey looks at her with a stern look.

Meredith felt the urge to puke for the 2nd time today.

"Ugh- this doesn't feel like flu anymore"

Meredith thought about her last period and realized she was late.

"I can't be pregnant can I?" She thought to herself.

"Shit, what am I going to do?" Mer looked at herself in the mirror.

As she was rummaging through the supply closet for pregnancy tests, Jackson immediately barged in.

"Oh sorry- oh it's you, hey Mer-" Jackson waves his hand awkwardly.

"Jackson Uhm hey-" Meredith frantically tried to cover what she was doing.

"This is great, Uhm- I was actually looking for a chance to talk to you-"

"Jackson we don't have to-"

"Meredith hear me out pls, I know what I did to you was unacceptable,"

"You cheated on me, several times apparently, in the whole span of our relationship you've been screwing other people behind my back, "

"As I said, unacceptable. Nonetheless, I was hoping you could forgive me someday and we could be friends again like we were back then,"

"Have you gone bonkers or something? Did you think after all that we've been through we'd still be friends?" Meredith asks with wide eyes.
