What a twist

Please don't go

Happy Monday! Enjoy 😂

It had been about a week since Derek and Meredith had found out that they were having a baby girl and they had received countless baby outfits from New York. As soon as his sisters had caught word that they were having a girl, the parcels of baby grows and pink cardigans had been arriving at their house, and they were struggling to find room for everything. They hadn't allocated a room to be the nursery  because Meredith was yet to find the courage to ask Izzie and Alex to move out. She knew it was about time they started to get things ready, especially now they knew the gender and they needed to sort out the nursery. So when Meredith and Derek came home to Alex and Izzie in the kitchen, she knew it was time to tell them. She didn't think they would mind that much, though she did want them out in a month's notice at the latest, which was probably not enough time although when she initially wanted to ask them to move out, it was about 3 months that they had to sort somewhere else out to live. But Meredith had delayed and delayed asking them about it, and time went on, but she was now over half way through her pregnancy, and they needed to start preparing. She was definitely going to miss their presence, but soon her and Derek would have a baby to look after, and having two other people in the house just wouldn't work.

"So ummm, we well I need to talk to you guys about something", Meredith said, upset that she was having to do this. Couldn't they just have a few more weeks together? She looked up to Derek to try and get herself out of it, but he gave her a firm nod, clearly telling her to carry on.

"Yeah, we wondered when you were going to say something. You want us to move out right?", Alex replied, like it was the easiest thing ever, and Meredith felt silly that she had even been worrying about it. Of course they wouldn't mind, she knew her friends well, she just didn't want them to go.

"No, why would you think that", Meredith said in a high-pitched voice, and Derek chuckled at her then said "Yeah, it would be best for you guys to move out now, we need the space for when our baby girl comes. We did well I wanted to tell you guys earlier so you'd have more time to prepare but someone over here wanted to spend as much time here with you as possible". He then looked over to see Meredith with a few tears running down her cheeks.

"Don't worry Meredith, we thought you were going to ask us about it, and we have already found a place we are going to live in. We also haven't said anything, we wanted to keep it a secret, but Alex and I have been together for a few months. We don't want to make a big deal about it or anything but yeah. So we are going to move in together, we found a place not far from the hospital. We would be able to move out in a week if that's okay with you guys", Izzie said, secretly glad to finally say something about her relationship with Alex. They had been doing well without anyone knowing, so they just decided to keep it a secret so nothing would change, but she felt it was time to say something.

Derek looked over to Meredith still crying, and he realised that she wasn't going to say anything, so he said "Congratulations you two! I always wondered when you were going to get together. Thank you for being so understanding". Derek then went over and gave them both a hug, surprising himself, but it wasn't uncomfortable or anything and it suited the emotions at that moment.

"Please don't go. This is your home", Meredith said to Izzie and Alex, still crying, not wanting them to leave. She knew they had to, but her pregnancy hormones were clouding her judgement. All she was doing lately was crying, which was so unlike her, she would never cry in front of anyone, and now she couldn't stop.

"Ignore her, she hasn't wanted to do this for ages but it's probably time now. Mer, honey, don't you want to get the nursery all ready for when she comes", Derek said, putting his hand on her belly, and calling her honey to try and purposefully piss her off.

"Who the hell are you calling honey", Meredith said back, still crying a little.

"Ah, there's the Mer I know"

Izzie and Alex had moved out after a week like they said, and now Derek and Meredith were at the shops getting some things for the nursery. They already had mountains of clothes and one of Derek's sisters had given them a cot, but they wanted a few extra things to go in her room.

"What colour should we paint the nursery?"

"First of all, you will not be painting anything, you know the paint fumes are not good for you, being pregnant and all"

"Fine. What colour would you like to paint the nursery, because I don't really have a preference. Actually, I don't really want it to be pink because everyone who has a girl seems to paint the nursery pink. Let's be different"

"I don't know about you, but I would love to paint it a lavender colour. I think baby would like it and it's one of my favourite colours, especially because it reminds me of the time you had a party when you were an intern. You were dancing outside with a bottle of tequila in your hands as always-

"Hey, I don't always drink tequila, and I can't now, can I? Because you knocked me up"

"Okay anyway. You were dancing on the porch, even though I said wanted to take you out for dinner, but when I saw you, I don't think I had seen anyone more beautiful. And then you came over to me, and we kissed and then well one thing led to another and we were sitting in the car after having sex. But when I looked up at you, and put my shirt on you, I think that was when I knew I was falling for you. Some may think that it was too early, but just looking into your eyes and seeing you happy and smiling, how could I not fall in love? Then Bailey had to interrupt us", Derek smiled and Meredith started giggling.

"Yeah, that was the most embarrassing thing ever. Luckily it was after and not during, because I might have died with embarrassment otherwise", Meredith smiled and looked up to Derek, and whispered into his ears "I was falling for you too"

Derek kissed her passionately, not even caring that he declared what he felt for Meredith in a shop.

"So lavender it is", Meredith smiled, and Derek laughed.

I might skip to when she's like 30 weeks in the next chapter because I don't want it to drag on too much but let me know if you have any ideas :)
