Hey guys,

I know I haven't updated "Let's Make It Right" in ages, but I have a major writer's block on it right now, but I cane up with a new story. I haven't abandoned it and will go back to writing it as soon as I can. It's a 4-shot I'll post till Christmas.

Hope you like it. Please read and review :)


Family Holiday

Thanksgiving

It was the weekend after Thanksgiving, the first Thanksgiving Meredith and Derek would spend as a complete family with their little girl, Zola. Thanksgiving was a blast with Derek and Owen cooking dinner, Cristina and Alex working in the pit, April and Jackson went to their families and Lexie, Meredith and Zola spent the day together in the living room playing and having a girl's day.

Today was Saturday and Lexie Meredith and Zola were in the mall to get some new clothes for the baby who grew out of all her clothes and needed warmer things anyway. The weekend was all planned out so Meredith and Lexie would have to head back home with the baby soon. They headed back to the car and Lexie got in the driver's seat while Meredith sat in the back with her little girl. She still made it a habit for herself to sit next to Zola when someone else was driving because she wanted Zola to feel comfortable every second of the drive.

During the drive home Zola started to cry because she needed a new diaper. Meredith tried to calm her down, but failed as the baby cried even harder. "Shhhh, Zola it's okay. We'll be home in 5 minutes and then I'll change you okay?" she tried to convince both herself and the crying baby.

"Mer, I don't think she's calming down unless she gets her new diaper." Lexie stated from the driver's seat. "I'll go a bit faster because it's getting hard to concentrate on the traffic with that odor in the car and since it's November I can't open the window." She said as she speeded a little and made it back home in 3 minutes.

When they arrived Meredith took the crying infant from her car seat and carried her inside while Lexie got the bags from the trunk and brought them inside.

"Hey Mer." Derek yelled from the kitchen as he heard her open the front door. "What's wrong with Zola?" he wanted to know as he heard his little girl cry at the top of her lungs.

"Urgh, she needs a change." Lexie filled him in on the situation as she placed the shopping bags next to the door of the kitchen. "She pooped her pants a few minutes ago and wouldn't stop crying. It was really hard to drive that car home with that odor coming from your little one." She couldn't stop laughing.

"I know. Sometimes I ask myself how such a smell can come from such a little person, but I like every diaper we have to change." He said with a smile.

Back upstairs in Zola's nursery Meredith changed her little girl in a new diaper and a cute red and yellow dress with white tights before heading down again. "Hey Derek." She smiled as she saw him in the kitchen talking to Lexie and kissed him softly.

After the kiss Derek took the baby from her and sat her down in the high chair. "You must be hungry, aren't you?" he cooed to Zola as he peeled a banana and sliced it into small pieces and placed it on the tray in front of her.

Zola squealed of joy and grabbed a piece with her small chubby hands and put a piece of banana in her mouth. Derek stood behind Meredith and hugged her. Meredith relaxed in his arms as he placed soft hisses on her head and neck.

"I… Uh… I need to read up on the surgery I'll scrub in on with Bailey tomorrow." Lexie mumbled before practically running out of the kitchen and up in her room.

"I guess we made her feel uncomfortable." Meredith smiled as she looked at Zola happily eating her banana. She turned in Derek's arms and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you, too." He responded and kissed her forehead. "I can't believe how lucky I am to have you and Zola as a family."

"Me, too." She said as she went back over to her little girl and stole one slice of banana. "Hmmm…"

"Are you hungry? I can cook something for us if you want me to." Derek offered as he noticed that he was hungry himself.

"No, I'm fine. Thanks." Meredith simply replied before sitting down on one of the chairs and watched her daughter eat. "I think you also need something to drink." She said to the baby as she got up again to get a bottle of formula, placed it on the table and sat down again.

Derek watched the scene and smiled. "You know, I'm cooking anyway." He noted as he threw some spaghettis in the pot with boiling water.

Later that evening they were sitting at the table eating and talking before putting Zola down for the night and enjoying their alone time.
