Sorry for the wait but here is the next chapter. It is mostly about Kaylee struggling with the new baby in the house and becoming more dependent of herself.

Enjoyxxx

After being in hospital for 2 days Meredith and Cooper were getting released. She had just signed the discharge papers and they were ready to go. Just waiting on Derek to show up with Kaylee.

Cooper slept soundly in his capsule. Meredith was in love with him. He didn't look like Derek at all. He was bald and had green eyes.

Derek then walked into her room with Kaylee.

"Mummy."

"Kaylee. How are you?" Meredith asks picking her up.

"Good. Are we taking Cooper home today?"

"Yes we are."

"Okay."

"Let me put you down for a moment. I need to put his beanie on."

Meredith puts Kaylee down on the bed and takes the beanie out of the baby bag and sits it on his head.

"Is that to keep him warm mummy?"

"Yeah it is. Since he doesn't have hair like you did when you were a baby we have to keep him warm."

"Okay. Did I have a lot of hair on my head?"

"You sure did. I'll show you a picture when we get home." Meredith says. "You ready to go?"

"Yes. I'll carry him out and you can carry her." Derek says.

"Come on Kaylee."

Meredith puts Kaylee onto her hip and Derek grabs the capsule and the bags and they leave the hospital with their new baby.

...

They arrive home. Derek takes Kaylee and the bags out. Meredith takes the capsule and they walk inside. They walk through the front door and into the lounge room where it has been decorated with welcome home and it's a boy signs.

All their friends are there and had done this for them.

"Welcome home." Izzie says.

"Thanks." Meredith says.

Izzie grabs the capsule from Meredith and sets in on the coffee table. The girls all gush over Cooper while the boys go and mingle in the kitchen. Kaylee is sitting on Meredith's lap while the girls are talking about Cooper.

"Mummy I'm thirsty."

"Daddy is in the kitchen so go and ask him if he can get you one."

"But I want you to get me one."

"Okay sure."

They walk into the kitchen.

"I think it won't be long until Kaylee breaks." Cristina says.

"Yeah I think she is going to have trouble not being around Mer 24/7." Callie says.

"Well she is a mummy's girl so it will happen." Izzie says.

Kaylee and Meredith walk back into the lounge and sit down. Cooper is now awake.

"Hello baby boy. You're awake." Meredith says as she goes to take him out of the capsule but Kaylee stops her.

"Mummy can you come and play with me?"

"Sweetie Cooper needs to have something to eat. I'm sure daddy will play with you."

"No I want you to." She says angry.

"Kaylee calm down."

"I want you to play with me." She says getting angrier.

"Sweetie I can't Cooper needs to be fed."

Kaylee hits Meredith's leg. Meredith grabs her hand.

"Kaylee don't hit."

Then starts the temper tantrum. Kaylee starts crying.

"Derek can you come here." Meredith yells.

Derek walks into the lounge room and sees Kaylee crying.

"Can you take her please? She is having a tantrum because I won't play with her."

"Okay. Come on Kaylee." Derek says.

He grabs onto her hand and leads her away from the lounge room.

"Sorry guys you had to see that."

"It's fine Mer." Arizona says.

"I thought she would be fine with the baby but I must be wrong."

"I think the reason she is like this is because it has only really been you and her for a while and she is a mummy's girl so it will be hard for her." Izzie says.

"Yeah Izzie is right you need to try and still spend time with her. She is having issues of not being the baby anymore and you are spending all your attention on Cooper. So I think you should try and spend as much time with her. When Cooper is asleep play with her, do something that interests you both. So when it does come time to looking after Cooper she has had her mummy time and she will not cry when Cooper is getting all the attention." Callie says.

"Okay sure. It's going to be hard next week when Derek starts his internship though."

"Well me and Cristina are only a phone call away remember." Izzie says.

"I will. I wasn't to mean to her was I?"

"Not really."

"Okay that's good." She says as she takes Cooper and starts feeding him.

...

Derek took Kaylee upstairs to her room away from everything and to settle her down.

"Kaylee what's wrong baby girl?"

"I want to play with mummy but she didn't want to."

"I'm sure she did but Cooper needed his feed."

"But why can't she not feed him?"

"He needs to be fed. He is dependent on mummy for that."

"Yeah but can't Cooper feed himself?"

"No sweetie. That won't be for a while yet. You were like this once Kaylee. We used to have to feed you, bath you and change you. You were dependent on us all the time."

"I was?"

"You sure were. And because mummy fed you like Cooper she couldn't pass you off to one of us to feed. She was the only one that could feed you and Cooper is the same at the moment. So when mummy says that she needs to feed Cooper you need to let her feed him and not ask to play."

"But will mummy play with me ever again?"

"Of course she will. You just need to give her time."

"Okay then."

"But I'm sure if you help mummy with Cooper she will be happy."

"Okay."

"So you ready to go back downstairs and apologise to mummy for hitting her."

"Yes daddy."

"Come here." He says and hugs her.

They go downstairs and Derek takes her into the lounge room.

"Kaylee do you have something you would like to say to mummy?"

"I'm sorry for hurting you mummy."

"That's okay sweetie. Can I have a kiss?"

Kaylee kisses Meredith.

"Daddy can you play with me?"

"Of course sweetie."

They leave the room.

"I wonder what he said to her." Cristina says.

"I know. He probably explained why I wasn't spending time with her."

"Okay we're gonna leave you to it." The girls say. "We'll see you around."

"Okay, thanks for visiting."

"No worries."

They all leave.

After they walk out the front door.

They all hand money over to Cristina.

"Thank you."

...

Charlie, Jackson, Richard and Jasmine had come over for a couple of hours to see Cooper. Richard brought lunch with him and they talked about when they brought Kaylee home and the kids fighting over the new baby. It was a fun afternoon for them all. They left when Richard was paged to the hospital. Derek dropped the kids off home and came back and started dinner.

Meredith had Cooper fed and he was asleep. Derek was cooking dinner while Kaylee and Meredith were watching TV together. Spending time together.

"Kaylee you still know that I love you."

"I know mummy. I love you to."

"That's good. It just might be a bit hectic for a little while that's all."

"Daddy said that."

Derek walks into the lounge room.

"Dinner's ready."

"Come on sweetie." Meredith says picking her up and carrying her to the kitchen.

They share a family dinner.

After dinner Meredith baths Kaylee and reads her a story and puts her to bed.

"Night Kaylee."

"Night mummy."

Meredith kisses her forehead and left her room.

She was walking down the hallway to the nursery. She walks inside and sees Derek changing Cooper. She walks over to Derek's side and watches him change Cooper's nappy.

"Kaylee's asleep." She tells him.

"Okay. Well this little boy woke up and needed a nappy change and will need his feed."

"Sure."

Derek passes Cooper over to Meredith and she starts feeding him.

"So what did you say to Kaylee today to make her realise why you can't always be there with her."

"I just explained why you weren't spending time with her."

"Well it worked I might say."

"Yeah it reminds me of when we brought Kaylee home and Charlie and Jackson were at each other's necks and were fighting each other."

"I know. We survived that in the end so we can hopefully survive this."

"We will. We can survive anything."

"We sure can."

"I'm going for a shower and going to bed. I'll see you soon."

"Okay."

Derek kisses her and leaves.

Meredith looks down at Cooper.

"It will get better mister. Kaylee's having a hard time adjusting that's all. So I'm going to have to split my time between the two of you."

She finishes feeding Cooper. Burps him and settles him in the bassinet in her bedroom. Derek is asleep. So she goes and has a shower. Changes into her pyjama pants, grabs the shirt Derek was wearing today and goes and checks Cooper one last time before climbing into bed next to Derek.

She falls into a slumber after the busy day.

...

The next morning Kaylee walks into their bedroom like most mornings. She just stands at the doorway and doesn't walk in and jump on the bed like most mornings.

"Mummy, daddy." She says.

Meredith and Derek hear her and wake up.

"What's wrong Kaylee?" Derek asks.

"Can I have breakfast please?"

Meredith looks at the alarm clock and sees that it is quarter to 6.

"Kaylee you're never up this early." Meredith says.

"I know but I'm hungry."

"Come lie down here for a few minutes before we make you breakfast."

"It's okay. I'm going to go and play in my room."

She says as she walks down to her room.

"That was strange. She didn't want to come and lie down like she always does." Meredith says.

"Maybe she is becoming more dependent of herself she doesn't need us of a morning for her snuggle before we get up and start the day. She might think that she isn't a baby anymore."

"But she still is my baby girl. I don't want her to grow up."

"I know me either."

They snuggle into each other and shut their eyes for a little more rest. When they hear a crashing noise coming from downstairs. They both sit up and look at each other.

"What was that?" Meredith asks.

"I don't know."

They get up off the bed and go downstairs. Where they find Kaylee crying and on the floor. Meredith jumps to her side and picks her up. Where her crying gets worse.

"Meredith put her back down. I think she has hurt herself."

Meredith lays her back down on the ground.

"Kaylee what happened sweetie?"

"I fell." She says in between sobs.

"Down the stairs?" Derek asks.

She just nods her head.

"Okay sweetie. Let me check you. Does anywhere hurt?"

She holds her arm up. Derek checks over her arm and everywhere else.

"I think you will be fine. Nothing seems wrong but you do have a bump on your head though so we will put some ice on it and it should go down." Derek says.

Meredith sits with her while Derek goes to get some ice.

"You scared us sweetie."

"I did."

"Of course you did. You should have waited for us. Why didn't you come and lay down with us this morning."

"Because I'm becoming more pendent of myself and I don't need morning cuddles."

"I still do."

"But I'm not your baby anymore."

"You will always be my baby Kaylee. So I don't want my morning bonding with you to end because of that."

"Okay mummy."

"Here we go sweetie." Derek says as he hands over the ice pack.

They sit the ice pack on her forehead. Derek picks her up and takes her to the lounge room. Derek sits with her and turns the TV on and they start watching. Meredith sits down on the other side of Kaylee.

15 minutes pass and Cooper cries are heard from the baby monitor. Meredith gets up off the lounge and goes upstairs to her bedroom. She looks over the bassinet and sees Cooper.

"Hello baby boy."

Meredith reaches over and takes him out. She rocks him in her arms while she takes the blanket out and wraps him. She goes downstairs and sits in the lounge room next to Kaylee again.

Kaylee looks at Cooper.

"Mummy can I hold him?"

"Sure sweetie."

She passes him over to Kaylee and she holds him. Cooper starts crying again. Meredith takes him and starts feeding him.

"Do you want some breakfast now?" Derek asks.

"Yes please daddy."

"Okay you get the special today. Pancakes."

"Can I help you?"

"Yes you can."

They go off and start making breakfast. Hopefully the day will be less dramatic then the morning had been.

So I will admit that that wasn't the best chapter but there are some good ones coming up. I have about 14 written and I'm going to explore Jasmine a bit more and we will get to know her and more about her family and a secret that they have.

Next one should be up before I go away next week.
