Chapter thirty-five.

Lexie's Pov.

"She answered" I said as I walked back into the kitchen.

"Where is she?" Ellis asked.  My voice broke as I started to speak.

"She told me to stop calling, that she was okay, and then she hung up" I cried.

"Oh Lex, I'm so sorry" Mark said as he came over and comforted me with a hug. "She will realize that she needs us and she will come back" he added.

"Will she? She has been gone for about four months" I said. Hot tears continued to stream down my face.

"We have to believe she will come back Lexie" Ellis said. She grabbed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile.

"Why don't you go lie down this is too much stress for you and the baby" Mark said. I found out I was pregnant a month after Meredith left. She was going to miss out in meeting my baby. That probably sounds selfish but she is my sister and I need her.

"I-I'll just go to bed" I said. I stood up and walked to my bedroom.

Six months later.

I stopped trying to get in contact with Meredith. Everyone had. She had been gin almost and year and it seemed like she planned on staying gone. I was getting closer and closer to my due date and I didn't need to put more stress on my body.

"How's our little boy?" Mark asked.

"Kicking like he is trying to kill me, I have to take breaks in the OR just because he kicks me!" I said.

"Well that's what all babies do inside the womb" he said. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I really hope my son doesn't act like you" I said sarcastically.

"Your son? He is our son, Lexie" he laughed a little.

"He is my son when he is inside of my body, the minute I give birth is when he is our son" I said. 

"Lexie?" I heard a familiar voice call out. I turned.

"Mer-"  I started. "Sorry I thought you were Meredith" I said. I hadn't even realized my sister Molly was standing there.

"You're Pregnant? And where's Meredith?" She asked.

"She's not here right now, and yes, I'm pregnant" I said.

"Oh I've missed you so much!" She said. She ran over and squeezed the life out of me. "How far along are you?" Molly asked.

"Seven months" I said. Her face lit up.

"Boy or girl? And what's the name?" She asked.

"It's a boy and we are naming him after Derek" I said.

"Derek must be thrilled" she said. "Where is he by the way?" She quickly asked.

"Dad never called you?" I asked. Molly had been in Afganistan for the last 6 years with her daughter and husband.

"Lexie maybe now isn't the best time" mark said.

"What happened?" Molly asked.

"Derek is dead!" I cried out.  Her face dropped. She stood there in shock. I even saw a tear trickle down her cheek.

"What happened to him?" She finally asked. I told her everything. The semi, Mer leaving and that mark and I were also getting married. "Poor Meredith, she must be devastated" she spoke.

"We wouldn't know, we haven't tried to call her in over six months, we gave up on the idea she was coming back" I said.

"This is awful" Molly said. It was horrible. Every once in a while I had panic attacks. I had them because I felt alone without my sister here to help me. She had two kids so she could help me through being a mother. But now she would never even know I was pregnant. And neither would Derek.
