Miranda looked in the mirror trying to gain the confidence to just pick up the test. "Okay if its positive it's going to be okay. This will all be, okay." Before picking up the test she finished putting on her earrings, hoop dangly earrings that Ben had given her many years ago for their one-year anniversary. She picked up the test, and then finally allowed herself to breath. It was positive. Miranda Bailey and Ben Warren were going to have a baby. Was this really happening? She thought to herself. Was she really going to have another baby? Miranda excepted to be terrified or overwhelmed, but instead she felt nothing. Not even the slightest feeling.
"Miranda I'm home!" Bens voice startled her she quickly flipped her hair and hid the test in her purse, then went out and met her handsome father to be in the entry way.
"Hey baby, how was it" Miranda said trying to be calm and not spoil anything.
Ben quickly ran over to Miranda picked her up twirling her around and applied a deep kiss on her lips. "I kicked board ass!" they were both full of joy at this point. Ben is no longer a resident, he is now a full time Nero Surgeon attending at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
"I'm so proud of you!" Miranda stated with joy over coming her face. " You are going to be one hell of a surgeon Dr. Warren" Miranda gave him a quick kiss "actually you already are one."
"Thank you baby, now give me 5 minutes to switch into a suit and we can go out to dinner and celebrate" Ben gave her a quick kiss and headed towards the bedroom to change.
Miranda went into bathroom to clean herself before going out. She was wearing a red flowy dress; she curled her hair (which she rarely does); she had dark red lipstick on and a beautiful teardrop neck less that Ben gave her for her birthday. She took a deep breath and fluffed up her hair " Ben I'm pregnant, see that wasn't that difficult" well it wasn't when she was practicing alone in a mirror anyways.
"You ready?" Ben shouted from the other room
Miranda walked out of the room to greet Ben "All ready, lets go love"
Ben opened the door being the gentleman that he was only to be surprised with Meredith on his front door holding Bailey in one hand ad holding Zola's hand in the other. She had tear-filled eyes and looked scared as all hell. "Ben! Bailey! Thank god you guys are home! I need you to watch the kids tonight! It's urgent. Please just let them sleep here for tonight and drop them off at day care tomorrow and I'll pick them up and take them home." Before Miranda could even get a word out, to ask Meredith what was wrong or to explain that they were about to go out Meredith was handing Bailey to Miranda and Zola to Ben. "I need to go, thank you so much!" and before they knew it Meredith was gone. Ben and bailey sat there speechless.
"So dinner is off" Ben dragged out trying to process what just happened.
"I guess so, but hey! We will make the most of it! We will eat at home, I will make your favorite dinner Shrimp ditalini!"
Before Miranda could finish Zola cut her off yelling "YUCK!" Miranda turned towards her with annoyance on her face; Ben grabbed Miranda's shoulder to keep her calm.
" And for the little ones some mac and cheese" Miranda said with the worlds fakest voice, Zola giggled and ran into the living room. "Here will you take him" Miranda began giving Bailey to Ben "and take him in the other room with Zola until dinner is ready." Ben of course said no problem gave her a quick kiss and was on his way.
About a half hour later you could here Miranda yell "dinner is ready!" She had all of the pasta laid out for each person and they all gathered and ate their meal. They shared laughs and giggles and Zola even helped do the dishes while Ben tried to calm down Bailey who was making a fuss. Luckily Miranda still had Tucks crib so she had Bailey use that for the night and sense Tuck was at his dads Zola got to sleep in Tucks bed. It was a long night over all but at the end Ben and Bailey took every last bit of energy they had to crawl into bed.
"Well that was not how I expected tonight to go." Ben said as he plopped his head onto his pillow. He then put his arm about Miranda and pulled her in closely." But hey at least I got shrimp ditalini out of the deal!"
"Aw, I'm sorry baby we didn't get to enjoy it like you planned it to be, but you know sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you got to do what you got to do," Miranda's palms started to sweat "which reminds me, I wanted to talk to you about someth-"
"You know something" Ben started cutting her off " I love having tuck I really do but after tonight I'm so glad we are not doing kids because tuck is a great kid and everything but he is all I can handle. Don't get me wrong still love kids but I'm enjoying you and me time. Just us. You know? Anyways sorry what were you saying?"
Miranda sat there unable to say a word, just in shock. Does Ben really not want kids? What is she going to do? She wont get ride of it, but what if ben wants too "um. Nothing, nothing.,. just that I love you" Miranda let out a faint fake laugh. Ben kissed the top of her forehead turned off the lamp and went to sleep. While Miranda laid there, wide-awake, not knowing what to do, she played with his chest hair to try to get her tired or to distract her but nothing worked. Miranda Bailey was pregnant with a child she doesn't think her husband wants.
