Here is the second but last chapter for you guys. Have fun reading it!


24th December

It was the day before their first Christmas as a family and Meredith was really stressed out because all she could think about was making Zola's first Christmas special. In her opinion her little girl deserved everything possible in the world and more. So Meredith was sitting in the tunnels of the hospital charting and trying to figure out how to make the following morning special for her husband and her baby. As she was sitting there Cristina came along with a granola bar in her hands.

"You know McDreamy is upstairs smiling like an idiot and getting on everybody's nerves telling them that he has the day off in order to spend the day with his 'gorgeous wife and beautiful baby girl'. Seriously I had to leave or I'd have to puke at this semi cuteness. You have to tell him to stop otherwise his patients might ask him if he has a brain tumor himself." She stated before she sat down on the gurney next to Meredith. "Seriously he got even worse since you got that baby of yours."

Meredith just listened to what her person had to say and smiled to herself knowing that she'd be just the same if she started to talk about her family now.

"Oh and he told me to tell you to go see him when I found you. So I'm telling you to go see him so he won't annoy the patients and co-workers up there. What are you doing down here anyway?"

"What does it look like? I'm charting and I wanted to escape the busy world on the surgical floor and down here it's quiet and nice and I like it here." Meredith simply explained the obvious to Cristina as she finished her granola bar. "Plus, I'm trying to figure out how to make our first family Christmas special." She added knowing that Cristina would roll her eyes on that.

"Urgh, now you're joining your stupid husband. Maybe you should just leave and talk to him instead of me when you want to be all sappy and cute."

"You do realize that it was you who came down here and joined me. What are you up to anyway?" Meredith asked looking up at Cristina as she finished her last chart.

"Well, I just figured I should relax a little while the ER is quiet today and you know what that means. I might stay the night just to make sure that I get on a case when something comes in, even if it's ortho or something." Cristina simply explained.

Meredith couldn't help but smile at her friend who didn't change a bit in the past few year when it came to surgery.

"You're laughing, but I'll get the practice and kick your sorry married ass even more at the end of residency." She shot back, but smiled herself. "Maybe you should go and look for your husband and be all cute with him instead of laughing at me."

"Okay, okay, I get that you don't want to be near me. I have to bring those charts back to the nurses' station anyway and I'm off in an hour, so I'm all set to go on time today." Meredith said as she got up from the gurney and walking away. Just before she was out of hearing range she turned around. "Merry Christmas, Cristina Yang."

"Yea whatever." She murmured.

Meredith got upstairs as fast as she could, dropped the charts off at the nurses station and went to her husbands office. Just as she was about to open the door she felt a light pain in her stomach and figured she could use something to eat since she didn't get anything in her stomach since morning. Before she entered the room she turned around and went to the cafeteria to get a sandwich and headed back upstairs and finally entered the office she was headed before.

"Hey beautiful." Derek smiled as he looked up at his wife. "How was your day so far?" he asked.

"Well, I did some charting and visited Zola at the daycare and I scrubbed in on a surgery with Owen. Patient lived everything was fine." She summed up her day. "How about your day? I heard you got on everybody's nerves…"

"I was just happy to spend our first family Christmas together and we both have the day off and everything will be perfect with our little girl." His eyes lightened up at the thought of what would be the next day. Suddenly he noticed that Meredith looked awfully pale. "Mer, are you alright?"

"Yea, I'm fine, just tired and hungry. I didn't have anything since this morning before we left for work, but I got myself a sandwich on the way up here so I should be fine." She answered before she took a bite of her sandwich.

They sat there in complete silence as Meredith was eating, but she didn't look better. If anything she looked worse than before. Just as Derek wanted to ask her if she was alright Meredith felt another pain in her abdomen before everything went black.
