This takes place at the beginning of season 2. After Meredith found out about Derek wife and is trying to move on from him. But something comes up might change her life forever.
I pick up the test that is lying on the counter. I flip it over to see the results.
Pregnant
it reads. the words 'pregnant' replays in my mind over and over until I hear Cristina say my name from my bedroom.
"And? Are you going to gain a hundred pounds or not?" she says.
I take the test into my bedroom and sit back down in my bed.
"go on, say it," she says.
I stay silent in shock. she rolls her eyes and takes the test out of my hand.
"Oh, you're going to be Mommie dearest," she says handing it back to me.
"I'm not going to be Mommie dearest, I'm not a narcissist," I say.
"Not yet, but the kid might turn you into one," she says.
"Cristina-"
"Are you sure you want to do this, you know it might be easier to just get an abortion, you would have a lot less to worry about," she says.
"I don't want an abortion," I say.
"No, but you probably should get one, it could help," she says.
"No Cristina, I'm not getting an abortion," I say.
"When do you want to tell Finn, soon? Now? When it's born,"
"No, I'll tell him when I'm ready. It's fine, we don't even know if this thing is right, I have to make an appointment with an OB," I say.
"The entire hospital will know that you're pregnant then," she says.
"I'm dating Finn, Addison and Derek are gone, people know I'm with Finn, they'll assume it's Finn's," I say.
I get out of bed and and grab my phone and dialed in a number.
"Do you want to tell Derek? You still have his number and you and I both know he'd come running back if he knew you were pregnant," she says.
"I don't want Derek," I say.
"Yes, you do, of course you do, you're all in love and crap," she says.
"Fine, I don't need Derek," I say. I make a phone call for an OB at Seattle Press.
"There, I have an appointment next week," I say as I place my phone back on the nightstand.
"What id the hospital finds out?" She says.
"I made an appointment at Seattle Press, they don't know anything about it there," I say.
"Alright," she says.
I get a text message on my phone. I pick up my phone and see it's a message from Finn.
F: I don't have anything going on tonight, how long are your hours?
"Who is it?" Cristina asks.
"Finn," I say.
"Ugh," she says groans.
M: I've already worked enough for today and I don't have a night shift, I'm free tonight
"What is he asking?"
"He wants to know if I'm free tonight," I say.
"Ew, tell him you're busy," she says.
"I already told him I have no plans," I say.
"Why would you do that? Now you have to go out with him," she says.
"I have nothing else to do, and if I have to get over Derek leaving then I have to fall in love with Finn,"
"You're going to hall in love with him? That's your plan?"
"I know don't... when Derek was still in Seattle I thought there was still a small that we would work out but now he's in New York with her, it's fine, I have Finn and a baby and it's fine, I'll live," I say.
"Yeah you'll live, but will you live happily?" She says.
"Eventually I will, I won't be as happy as I could be but it's better than being miserable for the rest of my life," I say.
"So you're going to settle?"
"Who knows, maybe Finn is the one for me and that's the reason Derek went back to Manhattan because I'm supposed to be with Finn," I say.
"Okay, call me when the weddings going to happen," she laughs.
"Shut up, you're going to this appointment with me,"
"Why?"
"So I don't look lonely, we can just tell them that we're a lesbian couple trying to have a baby," I say.
"Yeah, how fun," she says.
"You're doing it either way so stop complaining," I say.
