Chapter Text
---
Meredith is in love.
Or at least she thinks she is. You see, there's this funny guy she's been seeing, its nothing too serious yet but he's simply amazing. He just doesn't seem to get the strangest of things, enquiring in to simple behaviours and tackling tasks with such a critical matter he's almost seems alien to most situations.
Meredith finds that she likes this about him and when a few things begin to add up to either government experiment or something entirely not of her world she simply shrugs and rolls her eyes at reports of people with strange powers and conspiracies that blame the strangest of things on aliens and extraterrestrial beings.
---
When Meredith tells him he's her angel and he laughs, the stars sing in the night sky and she doesn't remember ever laughing so hard.
---
When he leaves Meredith thinks he takes her heart with him. Things fall part quickly for her and soon she attends her mothers funeral, tears in her eyes and with a sickness that feels like its creeping up on her where she stands.
---
Meredith is truly happy for the first time in a long time. She feels on top of the world, amazing, truly grateful for what she has. She's going to be a mother and she simply can't contain her joy, she's moving back in with her Dad for a while. She knows is going to be hard, raising her baby as a single mother but she always feels something watching, something waiting.
Meredith has never lost faith in her angel and a peace of her will always hang on to the past, she preys he will come back one day but for now she basks in her own glow of happiness.
---
She starts to have blackouts. She starts waking up in strange places at strange times.
Just now and again, little things to begin with. Just short enough for her to realise that they're happening.
(Sometimes orders of baby clothes and things she is sure she didn't order arrive-)
She sees the doctor but they simply tell Meredith to rest herself and avoid strenuous activities.
Meredith is eight months pregnant when she realises that she was right and there is someone, something watching her, Meredith is eight months pregnant when she realises whatever it is is using her to do it.
