It was one of the most wonderful days of both Derek and Meredith. Meredith had been through 20 hours of labor, just to find out that there was another one. Derek thought that he could see two on the ultrasound, but the OBG/YN told him that there was only one. It was the most amazing feeling Derek had ever had holding his little boy, but the most amazing feeling of all was seeing his Meredith and their little man.
The second baby wasn't so well. The little girl only weighed four pounds. Derek watched as the OBG/YN took his baby girl out of the room. He didn't even get to hold her. He watched Meredith watch them.
"Derek is she going to be okay?" She sobbed.
"Baby, baby calm down. She will be just fine." He reasured her.
"Dr. Shepard, Meredith, we are going to take him and clean him up." One of the nurses told them.
"Bring him back!"She said as they walked out.
"What about our little girl?"She started to sob again.
"Don't worry I'm going to go cheak on her. You get some rest."He said kissing her on her forehead. She nodded her head, and watched Derek walk out the door. He walked out and was hit by a storm of questions. He couldn't help but be a little upset.
"How is the baby?"Izzie asked.
"The boy is good." He told her.
"The boy? Was there another one?" Cristina asked.
"Yes, there was a little girl, she was only four pounds, they took her to ICU." He told them.
"Oh, my... How is Meredith holding up?" Alex asked.
"If she could have went with her she would have." He said.
"Poor kid."
"She is resting right now, I would say give her an hour, then go visit. By them they will have the little boy in the room." He told them.
Derek walked to the elevador and pressed the up button. He had to go she how his little girl was doing. The ride on the elevador ride seemed to last forever. He didn't know how he was going to see his baby like that. He walked into the room and saw the chief.
"How is she?" Derek asked.
"Oh, Derek, she is doing okay."He stated.
"She looks a lot better then she looked down there."Derek told him.
"She's a strong little girl Derek, she is the product of two amazing people." He stated.
"Thanks."
"You know I think that you can go in, and see her." The chief told him.
"Really."
"Yeah."
Derek walked into the room. He nodded to the nurse and walked over to the crib. He put his hand in one of the holes and she wrapped her tiny little hand on the tip of his finger. He didn't notice the doctor come in.
"She's strong." She said.
"She is just like her mother."
"She is strong enough if you want to hold her." She stated.
"She's alright."
"We thought that her size was going to be a problem for her, but she is just as strong as her brother." She said.
"Can we put her in the room with Meredith?" Derek asked.
"Sounds alright to me. If fact we want Meredith to start feeding her."
"Okay, can I take them both up, there is quite the audience waiting for them." Derek asked.
"Sound alright to me." She said.
Derek reached down and picked his little girl up. She was so small, so little. Derek was afraid that she might break. He looked up as the nurse brought in his little boy. He walked out the door, and let the chief see them. Then he took them to see the people in the waiting room.
"OH MY... THEY ARE SO CUTE!"They all crowded around them.
"Well I need to get them to there mom, they need to be fed." Derek said starting to walk away.
Okay guys up to see mommy. She is worried sick about you guys. He walked into the room and Meredith was turned looking out the window.
"Mommy look who came to see you." Derek walked closer to the bed. She turned over, and stated to cry.
"Both of them." She said as Derek placed them in her arms.
"They need names." Derek stated.
"Faith Audrey and Jeremy Zane."Meredith stated.
