Started on the Elevator: A Merluca Fan Fiction

Am I in love?

(Andrew's POV)

     I take Mrs. Manchester to the CT and can't stop thinking about Meredith. Her hair, so much volume. Her eyes, big and alive. Her skin, smooth and clear. Her lips, oh those lips...

"Are we going to stand here all day?" Mrs. Manchester says.

I snap out of my thoughts and stutter, "N-no, sorry ma'am."

Mrs. Manchester nods, "It's alright, let's just get this over with."

I nod and start preparing the CT and get Mrs. Manchester set and comfortable, "Alright, just sit still and this will be over fast."

I go to the other side of the glass and wait for the scans to load. Meredith walks into the room just as they load. "What do we have?" She says promptly. I nod my head to the scans and we take a minute to examine them before Meredith says, "It looks like she has several large nodules around her pancreas and duodenum."

I agree, "Yeah, and look... Are those lesions?"

Meredith inches forward, "Y-yes, there's so many!" I nod and Meredith continues, "It looks like pancreatic cancer, I mean look at those lesions.. Can you get a biopsy report on one of those nodules?"

I nod, "Yeah, I'll call oncology."

Meredith sighs, "Wow, that's so weird.I'm really worried this might be cancer." I nod again and she continues, "Okay, I have to grab some stuff from one of the ER rooms and then I'll get Mrs. Manchester to a bed. You just go call oncology!" 

I smile, "Alright, Dr. Grey! Right away!" I run out of the room and to the elevator... This is going to be an exciting day.

(Amelia's POV)

    Owen looks at me with a sad expression, "There's a trauma coming in stat, I have to go prep. I'll see you later." He leaves the room and I feel so broken... Why did I even tell him to go to Germany? What if Owen chooses her? If I hadn't been so stupid, Teddy wouldn't have even been pregnant. But of course she is.. With Owen's baby! Why do I always seem to screw everything up? The only thing I haven't screwed up is my career. I stand alone in the ER room when Meredith opens the door and glances over at me. She walks over to me, "What happened to you?"

I reply, "It's Owen, I can't seem to get my head around the fact that Teddy is pregnant with his baby! Like why? Why is this happening?"

Meredith puts her hand on my back, "Amelia.. This is life. This is part of the great process of living. Life surprises you. And don't think I don't get it, remember, this is the girl who was dating a guy who was already married! I get the surprises. Eventually you'll see that life's surprises are wonderful. It'll take time, but when you look back to this you'll find the light that's hiding within it."

Amelia sighs, "The only light I see is the glow on Teddy's skin from the estrogen, progesterone, and chorionic gonadotropin."

Meredith laughs, "Yes! That is medically correct."

I sigh again, "Ah, when will this be over? I hate feeling like I've messed everything up. But I mean I guess I have, I am a person who just messes things up..."

Meredith rubs my back gently, "Amelia, you haven't messed everything up. You and Owen aren't over, there's still more to your story. You haven't messed everything up." I smile and Meredith opens a drawer and grabs a container and a few lap pads.

Meredith glances at me, "You gonna be alright if I leave?"

I nod, "I'll be fine. You just get to your patient." Meredith smiles at me and pats my shoulder before she leaves the room. She made me feel a bit better, but the reason I felt bad is still there. Teddy is still pregnant and I still told Owen to go to freaking Germany. I really hate how this week is going..

(Meredith's POV)

    I help Mrs. Manchester get into bed and give her labs to a nurse. I turn around and Andrew runs up to me, "Hey! Is she ready for the tissue to be collected?" 

I nod, "Yes! She's all set. You can do this on your own."

Andrew smiles widely, "Wait! Really?"

I nod again, "Mhmm."

His smile widens more, "Alright, thank you Dr. Grey!"

I smile back at him, "Hurry before I change my mind!" 

Andrew sprints off and Maggie taps my shoulder, "How's the day going with DeLuca?"

I smile, "It's going fine... It's just a regular day."

Maggie chuckles, "Yeah? Well he'll grow on you, I'm sure."

I roll my eyes and say, "He's a resident!"

Maggie smiles, "Yes! But when you met Derek you were an intern and he was an attending! That's even worse! He's only what, ten years younger than you?"

I raise my eyebrows, "That's true... But I can't! It's complicated."

Maggie frowns, "Doesn't seem that complicated to me... It just seems like love."

Maggie's pager goes off  just as I was about to tell her how stupid she was for saying that me and Andrew were in love.

"Ugh! Another trauma in the pit, I have to go! But have fun with DeLuca!" Maggie runs off and I roll my eyes one more time before returning to my thoughts. Maybe she's right, maybe I like Andrew. But love is complicated, right? Though Andrew isn't complicated, he seems perfect. I can't seem to get him off of my mind. I feel like a teenager in love. Andrew is perfect for me right now. Like there's no emotional drama attached to him. No secret wives, no fiances who you thought were dead but really aren't, no drama... Maybe Maggie is right about this whole love thing...
