Not To Plan

chapter 1

I'm sat in the bar with cristina, my best friend. We're both interns at seattle grace hospital. We start work tomorrow.

"I hate being here" I say. "We can get you laid" she says. "Cristina I'm six months pregnant.. no guy in their right mind will go anywhere near me" I giggle. She literally dragged me here.

"Is this seat taken?" I hear someone ask. I look behind my shoulder. He's a handsome guy with deep blue eyes and brown hair. He's wearing a red button up shirt.

"Um.. no, it isn't" I say. He sits next to me. "So, this a good place to hang out?" He asks. "I wouldn't know.. its my first time coming here" I say.

"Can I buy you a drink?" He asks. "I'm just drinking water" I say. "I can't get you anything stronger?" He asks. "No thankyou" I smile, shaking my head. He hasn't seen my belly.

I reach my hand down, resting it on my belly. That's when he looks down. "Oh, I'm sorry.. I didn't even realise.. I'll leave you alone" he gets up. "No, its okay" I say.

"Flirting with a pregnant woman" he chuckles, shaking his head. I smile. "Was that your idea of flirting?" I casually tease him. "I-I was.. leading up to it" he says. I giggle. He smiles.

I look behind me. "Did you see where my friend went?" I ask. "I think she left" he says. "Oh, great" I say sarcastically.

"What are you doing in a bar anyway?" He sits down again. "My friend dragged me here.. I shouldn't even be in a bar.. I'm not drinking, of course" I say. "Of course" he says.

"Shouldn't you be at home relaxing though? Where's your husband?" He asks. "I'm not married" I say. "Boyfriend?" He asks. I shake my head. "Oh, sorry.. I dont mean to pry" he says. "No, its okay" I say.

"Are you here alone?" I ask. "Yeah" he says. "Oh" I say. "What?" He asks. "You're here to pick up a woman" I say. He chuckles. "No, I'm here for a drink" he says.

"So why did you try and flirt with me?" I ask. "Because I saw how gorgeous you are and couldn't resist" he looks into my eyes. I smile.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" He asks. "I don't know.. I haven't found out yet.. I dont know if I will" I shrug. "Congratulations by the way" he says. "Thanks" I say.

"Its nice.. someone flirting with me" I chuckle softly. "Yeah?" He asks. "Pregnancy gets lonely" I say. "You have your baby to keep you company" he says. I smile. "Yeah, I do" I smile, rubbing my stomach gently.

"What's your name?" He asks. "I'm meredith" I say. I hold out my hand. "Derek" he shakes it. We both smile.

"Are you from around here?" I ask. "I just moved from new york.. got a job here" he says. "Me too.. but I moved from boston" I say.

"Derek" I say. "Yeah?" He asks. "Are you any good at.. building things?" I ask. He chuckles. I giggle.

It's half an hour later and we're in my house. I'm sat on the couch, watching as he builds my baby's cot for me.

I didn't know how to do it and neither does cristina. I was going to call my dad over but this is much better. The sweat dripping off his forehead as he works is better than watching porn.

"Thankyou so much" I say as he sits next to me. "You're welcome" he says. I hug him.

We pull away slowly. My nose brushes against his face and I just kiss him. I'm so horny.

He was flirting with me earlier anyway, so if I wasn't pregnant then it probably would've led to sex. I hope he doesn't mind me kissing him.

He puts his hand on my thigh, leaning closer as I lean back so I can't pull away. His tongue feels so good in my mouth. I haven't made out with someone in so long. And he's hot. Really hot.

We pull away. "That was a great way to say thanks" he says. I giggle. "I'm sorry, Pregnancy hormones are making me so-" I stop. He smiles.

"I have a daughter" he says. "You do?" My eyes widen. "I'm not married! Well, we're getting divorced" he says. "Oh" I let out a breath.

"My ex wife was all over me whilst she was pregnant" he says. "Yeah I get why" I chuckle. "Until she moved on to my best friend instead" he says. "Oh.. um, wow.. I'm sorry" I say. 

"How old is your daughter?" I ask. "She's 2.. she's my favourite person in the whole world" he says. I smile.

"I'm so nervous" I whisper, rubbing my belly. "Once your baby comes, I swear your life will just feel.. full, mine did" he says.

"Do you have a picture of her?" I ask. He shows me a picture of her that he keeps in his wallet. I smile. "She's beautiful.. she looks exactly like you" I say. "She has addie's hair" he says. She's ginger. "Your ex-wife?" I ask. He nods.

His daughter has really pale skin, ginger hair and freckles on her face. She has bright blue eyes like his with a button nose and long eyelashes.

"She stays with Addison all the time.. we're fighting for custody.. I miss her so much" he says. "I'm sorry" I hold his hand. He smiles small.

"I should probably go" he says. "Derek" I say. He sits back down. "Do you want to stay?" I ask. He smiles.

"Are you sure you want me to?" He asks. "A pregnant woman can't have a one night stand?" I ask. He chuckles.

"You seem like a nice guy.. you haven't killed me yet so that's good" I say. He laughs. "Maybe we can make a deal" he says. "Yeah, what's that?" I ask, interested.

"How far along are you?" He asks. "6 months" I say. "How about we stay.. friends for the rest of your pregnancy" he says.

"Friends?" I ask. "With benefits.. they'll be lots of benefits" he smirks. I giggle. "For the rest of my pregnancy? Only friends" I ask. "Yes" he says.

I look at him. He smiles, raising his brow slightly. "I need to see how good you are in bed first" I kiss him. "That's fine with me" he mumbles against my lips before kissing me deeper.
