"Mom you were a mess!" Bailey exclaimed. He was pretty shocked that his strong Mother, who could face any playground bully or unfair boss, had broken down crying just because she didn't know what to do.
"I was pregnant and engaged, all with and to a man I didn't love. You'd be a mess too" Meredith said.
"why didn't you ever tell us about you and Mark and the baby?" Ellie asked questionably.
Meredith sighed, and thought carefully of how to answer Ellie's question. "We didn't want you to think of Mark differently" Meredith finally said.
"We?" Zola asked.
"Callie and me and Derek" Meredith said "Mark Sloan was a good man, but you'd only know that if you knew him. Mark got Addison pregnant, but she aborted the baby, he got Callie pregnant, resulting in Sofia, and he got me pregnant. We didn't want you guys or Sofia to think of him differently. Because Sofia loves her father, even if he isn't here with her" Meredith concluded.
"That makes sense" Bailey says aloud "if I knew I had a half sibling that was also Sofia's half sibling, I might not have wanted to date her. It would've been weird. But I love her, and not a sibling in the world can change that"
"Aww look at my big brother getting all mushy" that, of course, was Lexie.
****************************************************
Meredith's POV:
"What do you think of Daisy" Mark asked me, as we sat in bed one night flipping through books of baby names. I was twelve weeks, and now had a small small bump. Not big enough to notice unless you were extremely familiar with my previous, before baby belly.
"It's pretty but very dainty. I don't want my kid to grow up a wimp" I say. Mark and I came to an agreement, since I was guessing boy and he was guessing girl, I was to pick the boys name and he was to pick the girls name. Of course, we had veto power in the event of God awful names.
"How about Bethany?" Mark asked.
"Ew, I just hate that name" I say "how about Michael?" I ask.
"You're right, Bethany is weird, reminds me of a glue eater I went to university with. Like seriously? Glue in university?" Mark says "and Michael isn't really what I was thinking. Not a huge fan"
"I happen to really like the name Michael. Michael Joseph Sloan-Grey" I think aloud.
"I veto Michael. Pick another because as of now, Michael whatever whatever is officially vetoed" Mark mumbles as I laugh.
It's really cute he thinks he gets to actually have veto power, because when labor hits and I'm screaming in pain, what name I pick for the baby is what it's being called.
"But it fits!" I argue "Michael and Mark and Meredith"
"Cheesy" Mark says in a sing song voice "how about Hallie?" He asks.
I shake my head "they might mix it up in school and call her Hayley. I hate the name Hayley" I say.
"Gwen?"
"No it reminds me of a fruit"
"Kaley?"
"There are a million and ones ways to spell that, obviously no!"
"Hannah"
"Rhymes with banana and ham"
"Seriously?"
"Next name please!"
"Brooklyn"
"Nope, sounds stuck up"
"Victoria?" Mark asks hopefully.
"Ew" I say simply. Just ew.
"Ella" Mark sighs "I'm ready to give up"
I think for a moment. Ella Madeline sounds nice. Or Ella Marie. Simple, classy and cute but not too babyish so when she grows up she'll still have a suitable name. It isn't too stuck up or weird and you can only spell it one way. Four simple letters, so her name could be found on a key chain or a mug. I like it.
"Ella is perfect" I say "Ella Marie Sloan-Grey"
Mark smiles and kisses me lightly. He puts one hand on my little bump, and kisses my bump too.
"We love you Ella" Mark says smiling. I smile too, and for the first time since I've been pregnant, I believed our baby was a girl. She was going to be a girl, but I still didn't want to find out.
Because life held very little surprises as good as this one, and I wanted to savour it.
"We both love you so much, little Ella" I smile "so so much"
A/n- so baby Ella has a name. Ain't that sweet.
SORRY I TOOK ALMOST A WEEK TO UPDATE CUZ IM USUALLY NOT THAT SLOW WIT DIS STORY AND I AM SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS SO SHORT
But I still like this chapter. Cuz Mer has been Mark trashing lately, so I figured so,e fluff to show she loved Mark was in order. Even if she didn't love him like she loved Derek.
