Meredith had not seen Derek since he stormed out of the hospital the evening before. Carolyn has been kind of enough to pick them up from hospital and drop them off at home. Now she was lay in bed with Oscar curled up on her chest. He had finally eaten when they had returned home and was now happily sleeping. Meredith's hand rested on his back and she listened to him breathe.

Hearing the click of the front door, she moved and placed Oscar in his Moses basket before picking up the monitor before moving downstairs. She walked down the stairs and found Derek throwing his keys on the table. Still in the same clothes that he had left in the night before. Meredith stopped at the bottom of the stairs and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Where have you been?" Meredith asked.

"Not now Meredith." Derek rubbed at his head before moving into the kitchen. Meredith quickly followed.

"Yes now Derek." She watched as he took a large glass of water and quickly chugged it down. "You didn't come home last night. Where was you?"

"The bar." Derek's reply was short.

"The bar shut hours ago Derek, so where have you been?" Meredith stared him down, scared for his answer.

Derek looked down at the empty glass in his hand, he couldn't bear to look at Meredith's face, knowing she was on the verge of breaking.

"Derek, will you at least give me the respect of looking at me!" Meredith shouted and watched as he slowly looked up at her. "Where have you been? Please don't lie to me." Meredith stared at Derek.

"I...stayed at Rose's." He watched as Meredith took a deep breath in and her face dropped. "Nothing happened Mer, I promise you. I crashed on the couch, I was too drunk to drive home and..." he watched as she held her hand up and pushed his body away from hers.

"Get out." Meredith held the tears at bay. "Get your stuff and get out!" Meredith screamed, pushing at Derek. "Your son was in hospital and I needed you! But you went and got drunk! Then went home with another women! Get the fuck out!" She pushed him once more before moving out of the room.

Derek stood, frozen to his spot. Meredith quickly returned with a bag in her hands before throwing down at his feet.

"Meredith, please you have to believe me, nothing happened!" Derek pleaded with her.

"It doesn't matter that nothing happened Derek! You went to another women's house, I can't trust you anymore." She moved away from him. "You can come and see Oscar when you want but for now, me and you, we need a break." She slipped the ring off her finger and placed it into his hand.

Derek gulped as his heart broke when she placed that ring in his hand. He knew now wasn't the time, so he bent down, picked up the bag and left. When walking out he heard Meredith begin to sob, his heart broke hearing this and he knew it was all his fault. He had messed up. Moving out of the house, he moved to the house next door and let himself in.

Mark walked out of the kitchen when he heard the front door open and then close.

"Wow, Shep, you look like shit." Mark laughed until he saw the broken expression across Derek's face. "Shit Shep, what happened?" He was at his side in a a flash.

"Me and Meredith are over. I fucked up." He looked at Mark who was staring at him with confusion. "We argued at the hospital and then I left, went to bar, got drunk and then went home...with Rose. Nothing happened though Mark but I've fucked up bad here and I don't know what to do." Derek watched as Mark expression went blank.

"Please tell me you are joking Derek?" Mark watched as Derek shook his head. "Fuck Shep." Mark moved away from Derek, scared of what he might do if he stayed too close. "You better head upstairs before Addison comes home and finds out. She will kill you and I wouldn't stop her." Derek nodded his head before heading upstairs.

Mark ran his hand through his hair before pulling his phone out of his pocket. He clicked Meredith's number and waited, it's rang but no answer. He didn't want her being alone right now and Addison was at work so he decided to ring Carolyn.

"Hey ma." When he heard Carolyn pick up the phone.

"Mark, my boy. What a pleasure, what can I do for you?" Carolyn replied.

Mark took a big sigh before reeling off what had happened, he told her how Meredith needed someone right now and didn't want her being alone. He smiled to himself when Carolyn agreed to go round and see Meredith. He hung up the phone before slipping it back into his pocket.

Derek sat in his old room, on the unmade bed, staring up at the ceiling. How did he fuck up so badly? He held the ring up in his eye line before grasping tightly in his hands, he had everything and he had blew it.
