"Miranda.. we need to talk, can we go to your office" Addison asked Bailey

"Follow me"

They entered Bailey's office and they both took a seat.

"I have bad news about Meredith"

"Please don't tell me what I think you're gonna tell me"

"Breast cancer, stage 2 or 3.. we need to do a biopsy to confirm but we both know what this means.."

"Shit.. didn't she have been trough enough stuff?"

"Maybe we need to page both Derek and Meredith here.."

Bailey paged Derek and Meredith to her office, they both had a bad feeling, they knew something was wrong

"Hey guys" Addison said while Meredith and Derek walked in

"Bad news? I can see bad news faces" Meredith started

Derek squeezed her hand to let her know she wasn't alone.

"Well Meredith, we noticed a lump, it's cancerous.. we need to do a biopsy but I think stage 2 or 3.." Addison started

"I'm so sorry Meredith" Bailey said

Meredith had tears in her eyes, she looked right in her lap, everything around her became quiet.

"Mer, everything will be fine, you're strong" Derek started but Meredith didn't react "So what are we gonna do now?" Derek asked

"They are prepping an exam room for Mer and I'll do the biopsy today.. both of you know the drill, I go in with a needle in her breast she will be partly sedated and I hope by the morning we'll have the results"

"I.. I can go home right?" Mereith asked 

"Of course, I need you to come in tomorrow at 8 to discuss the results and then we'll make a treatment plan.

"Th.. Thanks" Meredith sobbed

Derek pulled his wife close to him, her head was resting on his chest.

Addison, Derek and Meredith walked to the room they had prepped for Meredith. Addison started the biopsy and she cleared Meredith to go home. They picked up their kids and dropped them off at Alex. He had 2 days off and Meredith and Derek told him the news and asked if the kids could stay at his home, they needed some time to recover from the news.

When they arrived at their dream house neither Derek or Meredith knew how to start a conversation

"You.. you want pizza? I'll call for pizza" Derek said

"I'm not hungry"

"You need to eat Mer.." 

"Well just a.. I don't know a pizza margarita I guess" She said 

"I'll call" he said before getting up and kissing his wife on her head

They ate together but Meredith was only able to eat a few slices she wasn't hungry at all

"Maybe we should go to bed.." Derek said

"Yeah, okay"

In bed they were spooning, Derek held Meredith very tight because he's so scared of loosing her.
