A/N: So here's the sixth chapter, and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as the others... So what will Derek think? Hmm...


Chapter 6 - Ethical

Meredith headed for the baby nursery, to think for a while. She went there to do, as said; thinking. She went up there after she slept with Derek the first time, to think about if he was a regular one-night stand or not. That answer is rather obvious. She went up there to think after sleeping with him a second time and a third and... You know the drill. She went up there to consider the thought of loving him. She went up there after she got to know the cruel truth that he was married. Then she had already fallen in love with him.

Basically, every time she went up there it had to do with Derek.

And now she was there to figure out how to talk to him.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" someone said.

Meredith could see Derek's reflection in the glass window. She nodded. "I was going to tell you, you know. I just had to figure out how first. I mean, you're married. How do you tell a freakin' married man that?" Meredith sank down on the floor, leaning her back against the wall. "It's hard to see you all the time and to see you with her aren’t making it any better." she paused, taking a deep breath. "Confessions are not my thing really, but I'm still not over you. You still have that little piece of my heart left, but you can kind of say that I took something of you." Meredith gave out a laugh and looked at her stomach.

Derek smiled, still standing by the wall opposite Meredith. "I didn't realize it was that long ago since we were together. It's a long time..."

Meredith nodded. "It's funny really how we take things for granted..."

"Yes... Yes it is..."

They sat quiet for a while both thinking about that they were going to be parents.

"Aren't you supposed to say you're not over me either and come and sit by my side?" she said ironically.

Derek walked over to her and sank down on the floor. "I'm not over you either. It's just that Addison's my wife, my family. I can't throw away 11 years like yesterday's trash. I don't think that's ethical really."

Meredith looked questionly at Derek. Sure she was starting to have some hormonal swings, but what he just said maid her angry, and it would too if she wasn't pregnant. "Ethical? Do you really want to talk ethics with me? Do you think it's ethical to just skip telling your girlfriend that you're married, to leave her heart broken... To cheat on your husband with his best friend? I mean, wasn't that what Addison; your wife did to you?"

Derek looked down.

"Was that really your best? I loved you, you know. And I might still, just because of that little piece." Meredith rose from the floor. "You can keep the paper I dropped, and you know maybe give to Addison. You should tell her soon, because I'm soon going to look like a overblown balloon, especially you know since it's two of them." Derek looked strangely at her and the he unfolded the paper. "Oh yeah you probably missed that, it’s twins, girls as a matter of fact." Meredith pulled up her sweater to reveal her pouty stomach. "I know silly of me not noticing it. But you know that's life. Tell her Derek, soon. I don't think she'll like to hear it from another person than you."

And by that Meredith walked away.


"Meredith! What's going on?" George asked as Meredith entered the locker room. "Are you crying?!"

"No!" she screamed and locked herself in on one of the small toilets. She might have been a bit to harsh when in comes to what she said to Derek, but she was angry. She hadn't expected him to leave Addison, not that she didn’t hope for that to happen, though she didn’t admit it of course.

Anyhow she had just expected something else than a talk regarding what is or what isn't ethical.

"Come on Meredith, get out of there!" Christina said while pulling the handle.

"We promise McDreamy isn't here!" Izzie begged. "Come out!"

"Yeah he isn-" Christina turned around to look at Izzie. "You know!?"

"Hehe, yeah she does. She was the first to know." Christina gave George a mad look. "And I was not second!"

"You told them first!?" Christina shouted through the door. "I can't believe you!"

"Are you jealous because she trusts me better than you? Pathetic!" Izzie said and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What!? You, you. Big boob model!"

"OH! OH! Boss screwer!"

Meredith opened the door.

"Stop it you two!" she shouted. "Christina, we live together that's why I told them first. Izzie, I trust both of you just as much. George," Meredith said and looked at George. She knew what he was going to ask her. "I'm not crying!"

Her friends stared at her.

"I true I'm fine! Look, now I'm going to work and we'll talk about this later at Joe's tonight." Meredith said and walked out.


A/N: So what did you think? That little speech Meredith gave; I used to think it was really good but I can tell you all... There will be, in i think the eight chapter a much better and funnier one... Well please tell me what you think!
