Remember for me

Chapter twenty six:

Alrightie so I got a comment from Who said I should make a chapter with Derek telling the story too. So, I'm gonna do just that because it's a wonderful idea. And, to top it off and keep things interesting, I'm going to tell this entire chapter in Derek's POV. Just to switch it up a bit! ENJOY THE CHAPTER :)

Meredith was sad, thinking back on all the times she and Mark picked out baby clothes, baby names, and painted the nursery a million shades of yellow. She looked at all four of her wonderful, amazing kids who came out nothing less than extraordinary and wondered.

What would've happened with her and Mark if everything turned out the way it should have? Would she still be with Derek, and if so would she still have all four of her amazing kids?

Doubtful, highly doubtful.

So, while what happened was awful, in a way it gave her Derek and all four of her children. She had to be thankful for that.

"Alright, so after Mark and I picked out a name-" Meredith was cut off by the sound of someone entering the house. All five heads turned to see who it was, and no one was shocked when Derek's smiling face appeared in the room.

"Am I too late to add to the story?" Derek smiled, as he kissed Meredith's head gently. "I was there too, Ya know" he joked.

Meredith smiled, feeling so happy and content that Derek was close by. "You aren't late at all. Why don't you tell the kids what went on with you when Mark and I were picking out baby names?"

Derek nodded and smiled a small, sad smile. Thinking back to the days when Meredith was engaged to Sloan was hard, but knowing she was here with him now made it all okay.

"So, when your mother was twelve weeks pregnant, I was spending my time socializing I guess you could say...."

**********************************

Derek's POV:

"Can I get another shot over here?" I waved my hand in the air drunkenly, trying to numb all the pain I felt, for just one night.

Meredith was with Sloan, she was pregnant with his baby, she was going to marry him, and I didn't have a wife anymore.

It wasn't really fair, it wasn't fair at all, how I ended up alone.

Just like Meredith was when you chose Addison a little voice in the back of my head whispered. I tried to ignore it, but it was disappointingly right. Meredith was alone all those months I was with Addie, and now I knew exactly how she felt.

I shouldn't be mad that she found someone, I shouldn't be mad that she's happy. I should be mad that I couldn't step up and love her as much as I did when Addison showed up.

"I'm pretty damn stupid" I slur to the man beside me. He's about my age, with blonde hair and green eyes. He's kinda nerdy looking, but he can hold his booze.

"Me toooooo" he slurs back.

"What'd you do" I ask drunkenly

"My wife left me, because she was a crazy bitch, and when she came back because she still wanted me and loved me, I said no because I was with my secretary! And guess what the real kicker is? The secretary, Annette, left me! And now I'm alone and my ex Rhonda is married to some foot model from Berlin. Got like six foot model little children's" he sighs.

I nod. "I left my wife, and when I found the love of my life I left her for my wife! Who I ended up divorcing anyway" I add.

Suddenly, I see Mark. He's in the corner of the bar with some girl. About twenty or so with red hair. I can't tell much else. Maybe it isn't even Mark.

Deciding to figure it out for myself, I pull out my cellphone and call Meredith.

"Hey Derek" Meredith answered.

"Hey Meredith. What's up?" I'm sounding my best to sound casual, and not freaked out that Mark is with some red head. Oh, and sober. Can't forget sounding sober.

"I'm folding some baby clothes. Sixteen weeks hit yesterday" I can practically hear the smile in her voice.

"Is Mark with you?" I ask.

"No, he isn't. Why, have you seen him? He isn't answering his phone" Meredith sounds worried as I bring up Mark.

"I'm at a bar, just having some fun since this is the first night in two weeks I haven't been on call, and I saw Mark. With some red headed lady" normally, I wouldn't rat Mark out. But Meredith is his fiancé and she's pregnant. He seriously cannot screw up.

"Are they just talking? What's going on?" Meredith sounds panicked now. Very, very panicked.

I look over to where Mark and Red head were sitting. Unless talking included tongues in each other's mouths, they weren't talking.

"Meredith if I were you I'd get down here fast. Flaunting the baby bump and ready to cut a bitch" with that, I hang up.

I feel awful. Awful for Meredith and for Mark and their baby. Because yet again, Mark managed to screw everything up.

A/n- remember when Mark says he has self destructive behaviour? Yeah right here. Dis is it.
