Meredith And Nathan: fight for your L(ife)ove

No, we didn't

-Meredith, wait.
-I have been discharged, so I can go wherever I want now.
-Mer
-Leave me alone.
-What? Since when are you mad at me?
-I'm mad at myself Nathan!
-What?
-I'm mad at myself, because I told you to go be with Megan even though I don't want you to leave me! I am really messed up, and I told you to go back to her, but the truth is I don't want you to. But Nathan, life IS like that. Life is messy. We built our own empires only to knock them down.
-No! No, we didn't. Meredith, life is messy, I agree. But we never knocked it down. We continue to build it everyday. Because we love each other. We do. And that is the only thing that matters.
-Yeah, I mean guys, I didn't come here for Nathan.- Megan interrupted- I came here because I needed your help Meredith.
-So you're gonna tell me that out of all the general surgeons in the world you came here because you knew me? Megan I'm not that naive. Why are you here?
-To get my love back
-It's my love.
-So what are you saying?
-Get your own life, Megan.
As I said before, you could try to live in other people's worlds, but that just gets messier and messier. So you try to rebuild your own. You know everything could be destroyed again. But if you don't try, you never know.
-Ok I'm leaving- I said.
-Nathan, are you going with her, or staying with me?- Megan asked.
-Megan, you did this wrong. I'm leaving. I'll tell Owen to get you a good surgeon, and I'll never have to see you again.
-Didn't you love me?
-Megan, dear presumed-dead stranger, I feel like I don't know you anymore. Specially considering that you came back here to try to destroy my life. So goodbye, I hope you get your happily ever after.-He said as we left.
Back at home...
-So Mer, is everything alright?
-More than alright. Although I have to admit, this got a little weird, like, out of control
-Right? What about watching a movie?
-That sounds like a good-enough plan for fetus and me. Nathan, I love you.
-I love you too.
The movie went on, and just when we were about to fall asleep, Amelia came inside.
-God, Amelia, I almost have a heart attack.
-I'm sorry. I just wanted to know how you were, I found out. About everything.
Nathan was still asleep.
-Well, it was such a crazy night, but everything is okay now.
-You say that word so often it doesn't even sound like a word anymore
-No but seriously, I'm fine.
-And how is he doing?
-Well, he is having a hard time, I know that, but he tries really hard to be okay.
-Ok, I'll leave. I just needed to know how you were.
-Ok bye, thanks Amelia.
The next morning, when Nathan woke up, there was something I needed to ask him:
-Nathan, wake up. Nathan! I need to ask you something.
-Mer, it's 4:30 a.m. why are you awake? We still have two hours to sleep.
-I need to ask you something really important.
-What is it?
-Did you feel pressured to leave Megan? I don't wanna feel like you decided to come with me only because I'm pregnant.
-Meredith, never in my life would I make a decision that I know won't make me happy. I don't care about the rest, I loved Megan, but the way she came back? I will never forgive her for it. And I know what you are thinking: "If Derek came back I'd go be with him so you should do the same."
-That's not what I think. He was my great love, that's true. But who said you can't get two? I used to think it was impossible, but it's not.
-Well, same for Megan. She has been presumed dead for almost a decade, don't you think she is like a stranger for me now? It would be totally different with Derek. He didn't die too long ago. Three years are nothing, you still miss that person from time to time, but ten years have passed now. And I feel like I don't know her anymore. I grieved too long for her, I suffered too much, and then I could let go. So I let her go. She isn't a part of me anymore.
-So you aren't staying with me because I'm pregnant, or because you feel bad for me?
-Of course not. I love you, Meredith Grey.
-I love you too, Nathan Riggs.
I was in shock, all the explanation he had given me, I would never forget it. He was totally right, from time to time I still missed Derek, but eventually I was able to let him go. So I did. And that broken part of me had been fixed. So I didn't need him to come fix me, because someone had already done it. Nathan.
