Started on the Elevator: A Merluca Fan Fiction

Our time

(Meredith's POV)

     I stare into Andrew's eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He sighs, "I tried. I tried telling you, I really did. But I also know that family drama is hard, and I didn't want to have to bring you into it.."

I smile slightly, "Andrew, you can tell me anything."

Andrew nods, "I know.."

"So what is happening with your dad?" I ask with a worried tone.

He sighs, "I umm, I guess I'll just start from the beginning.. Umm, the day we were supposed to go to Joe's, I got a call from my dad. He.. He was drunk and he said awful things to me like I'm a bitch and I should go to hell and all that.. So then I told him to go to hell because I was angry at him. And then he told me I was dead to him. So I ended the call and continued with my day. Later I got a call from Carina, she told me that our papa.. Our papa had a heart attack. I was shocked and I still am. While you were at Joe's waiting for me, I was on the phone with Carina... All night. I had completely forgot about our date. And I'm really sorry about that, I would never stand you up on purpose.. But yeah, that's what's going on. Papa's condition is really bad, and Carina thinks he's not going make it.."

I put my hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry Andrew. If I knew, I wouldn't have been so angry at you. I'm here for you.. Whatever happens, if you need someone, I'm here."

Andrew nods, "Thank you, and I know.."

I sigh, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Andrew shakes his head, "There's nothing you can do Meredith. Now we just wait I guess." I see him fighting the tears so I quickly wrap my arms around him. After a few seconds he looks at me and I stare into his captivating eyes. We stare at each other for a few seconds before he leans his head in and our lips touch. Butterflies fly through my stomach as we continue to kiss. After a minute or so of this, I look back into his eyes, "Wow."

He smiles, "Wow." I wrap my arms around his shoulders and press my lips against his again. We spend the next 15 minutes kissing and staring into each other's eyes. He then smiles widely, "I finally have you."

I smile back and he kisses me again when Amelia runs into the room with a shocked expression.

"Meredith! I umm, I really need to talk to you." She says.

Andrew frowns, "Dr. Shepherd?"

I sigh, "Amelia? What happened?"

She walks closer to me and Andrew, "I-nothing happened. Nothing bad happened, I'm just scared."

I give Andrew a look and reply, "Scared of?"

Amelia's eyes fill with tears, "I think I might be pregnant.."

I frown, "Are you late?"

Amelia nods, "Yes! I'm a week late! With all this stuff with Teddy and Owen I haven't really been keeping track, but I realized today I'm a week late!"

"Why are you scared?" Andrew asks

Amelia sighs, "Because what if something happens to the baby? What if I have another anencephalic baby!?"

I frown, "Amelia. If you are pregnant I doubt the baby will be born with anencephaly. And remember, stress can lead to a delay in your period.. So don't just assume baby."

Amelia starts to panic, "I can't do this right now Mer! I can't be pregnant. This is too much!"

I put my hand on her arm, "Don't panic, you're fine. I know it's been a rough time for you, but if there's a baby, there's a baby. I'll be here with you. Maybe you should take a test."

Amelia nods, "I umm, yeah. I should do that."

I sigh, "Have you talked to Owen?"

Amelia shakes her head, "I haven't told him yet. I'll only do it if the stick comes out positive." Me and Andrew exchange expressions and Amelia sighs, "I really can't be pregnant right now. This is just the wrong time. I really need that stick to be negative."

I walk towards the door, "I'm going to go grab a test. Andrew, will you stay with her?"

Andrew nods, "Yeah, sure."

(Andrew's POV)

Meredith runs out of the room and I swallow, "You had an anencephalic baby?"

Amelia nods, "Yeah.. Christopher. He lived 43 minutes... He donated all of his organs.."

I sigh, "I'm sorry."

Amelia smiles, "Thank you. I uh, I miss him everyday." I sigh again and we wait awkwardly for Meredith to return with the test. She runs back into the room after what feels like 20 minutes, but was only a couple.

She smiles, "Here. Go and pee on it."

Amelia grabs the test and walks into the bathroom. Once she closes the door and locks it I look at Meredith and grin, "I'm going to kiss you again." She smiles and I kiss her. We keep kissing until we hear Amelia unlock the door of the bathroom.

She walks to us, "Okay. I guess we'll just wait."

Meredith nods, "Yes. Don't worry too much." Amelia sighs and we sit down on the couch. The three of us stare at the test for about five minutes.

The results show and Amelia lets out a sigh, "It's negative.. It's negative." Meredith nods and Amelia's eyes fill with tears.

"What? This is good." Meredith says.

Amelia nods, "It is good, it's great! It's negative.."

Meredith sighs, "Amelia? Are you alright?"

Amelia nods, "I'm fine, I'm just happy that it's negative..." We stare at her as tears fall onto her cheeks, "It's negative.. no baby.. because it's negative." She puts her head into her hands and begins to cry. She sobs for a few minutes as me and Meredith exchange looks.

I get worried so I put my hand on her back, "Dr. Shepherd?"

She lets out another sob before she looks at me with tears running down her cheeks, "I'm so sorry."

I sigh, "It's okay, don't apologize.. are you good?"

She nods, "I'm good.. now. It's just been a hell of a week. I'm sorry."

I frown, "It's okay! You don't have to apologize.. But you should probably take another test in an hour just to make sure."

She wipes the tears off of her cheeks, "Yes.. yeah I'll do that. But I'll leave you two here to do whatever you were doing before I interrupted you."

Meredith smiles, "Thanks, see you at home." Amelia leaves the room quickly and I look back at Meredith.

She shakes her head, "That girl is so full of feelings."

I laugh, "Yeah. But I mean she has earned those feelings."

Meredith smiles, "Where did we leave off?"

I grin, "I think I was about to kiss you again.. with tongue."

Meredith steps closer, "That sounds about right."
