Chapter 2 – The telephone calls

After some time, baby Bailey stirred and demanded to be feed. Zola was still sleeping quietly in the cot Derek asked to be brought in the room. Meredith decided to breastfeeding and now the baby was quietly having his dinner. Both parents were mesmerized; even if they had seen a lot of babies during their carrier, this was a thing that was always magic.

Baby Bailey had his eyes closed, his little hands closed as a fist were positioned at the top of his mother's breast. He was sucking quite greedily. When he demanded to be feed, he did with an acute cry. Meredith put he in front of her breast and he latched easily as it was the thing as old as the world. Their Seattle family had come and visit them and offered them their congratulation and happy wishes. And speaking of family he had to call his own family.

"I can't believe he is finally here", said Meredith while watching her son eating. With her free hand, she touched her baby boy's head.

"I know", replied Derek watching his wife and baby.

"You have to call your mum" said Meredith while she positioned the baby on the other breast.

"Yes" replied Derek. He pulled his cell phone out of his waist and opened his contact list and touched the number the number he was looking for and waited the call to be picked up.

"Hello?" said a female voice.

"Hi Mum! It's me, Derek".

"Hi! How are you? Meredith, the baby, Zola?" asked Carolyn.

"We are all good. Actually … wait … I put you in speakerphone.." he said touching his phone.

"Can you hear me?" he asked to his mother. Meredith was smiling at her husband.

"Yes" , she replied.

"So, I was saying. We are all good. Actually baby Bailey is born and right now is having his meal" he said smiling looking his son.

"Oh my God! How is he? Meredith?" asked his mother.

"Baby is fine. He is perfect, he looks like Meredith and Meredith is good", he replied.

"Hi Carolyn" said Meredith.

"Hi Meredith! How are you really?" Carolyn asked with a little of mother voice.

"I'm fine really" replied

"Oh sweetie! I'm so happy for you both. I can't wait to see you and my grandchildren. How is Zola?"

"Zola is fine. She is sleeping right now. You know you can come when you want," replied Derek.

"I'll give you some time and then I'll come to see you" replied the old woman.

"Ok Mum. We'll see you soon. Bye"

"Ok. Bye and congratulation!" replied the old woman before the line went dead.

Derek put the phone near him and took his son to make him burp while Meredith was putting back her gown on her chest. Derek was walking around the room with his son. Meredith was silently looking at them. She was really happy and contented. She has a family. Her own family. A family in which some pieces were missing. Her sister for instance. Lexie didn't have the opportunity to know she would have a nephew and she was denying to his sisters to get to know Zola and Bailey. Without thinking too much, she grabbed Derek s' cell phone, scrolled the contact list and touched the number she was looking for and started the call, waiting the other person to pick up.

"Hello?" said a woman.

"Liz? Uhm, it's Meredith" said an uncertain Meredith.

"Meredith? Hi! How are you?" the other woman's voice was cautious. Even if there was a kind of relationship between them, the things were to awkward but there was something.

"I'm fine. Actually I called you to tell you that you're an aunt again. Baby Bailey is born. I just wanted to tell you in person", at this point Meredith's voice was low because he baby was sleeping in his father's arm.

"Oh Meredith! I'm so happy for you! He looks like you or Derek? Has he Derek's hair?" Liz asked in an eager way. Meredith could feel the other woman smiling though the phone and she was happy to hear Liz. It took Meredith a long time to trust other people outside her family and Liz was one of the first people.

"Derek says that he look like me. He say he has my nose. He is simply perfect. He is fine. He is a beautiful baby boy."

"Oh Meredith. I'm really really happy for both of you".

"We will send you some photos", she said to her sister – in –law.

"Thank you so much for your call. I really appreciate it. Thanks again", said Liz.

"Your welcome Liz and I wanted to tell you because you were the first of his sisters to know and also because I wanted to thank you for the gift you give to Derek. If is able to hold his son, I have to thank you", said Meredith. She was so emotional right now and she could feel tears that were threatening to fall.

"Meredith like I said when we met, we are family, we protect each other and now you are part of this family like Derek and your children. You don't have to thank me", replied the other woman. Like Meredith, also Liz was emotional. Meredith could hear the other woman blowing her nose.

"I can't wait to see my new nephew!" exclaimed a very happy Liz. Meredith was finally happy. She had a family which she could share her life, her joys and her sorrow. The two women greeted each other and the line went down. The baby was sleeping in his father's arm in the cot near Zola. Meredith grabbed the phone again and snapped a photo. The picture was beautiful in her simplicity. The image was far beyond the traditional family pictures. It was simple and it showed her family, her world.
