We pulled into the parking lot of Boston General and made our way up to the OB floor. My doctor was waiting for us when we arrived.

"Meredith! Kate! How are my girls?" Dr. Jacobs smiled when he saw us. "Mark, how are you today?"

"You ask how I'm doing? I live with 2 pregnant women." Both men laughed as Dr. Jacobs escorted us to the room. I laid onto the table and lifted my shirt, exposing my bare belly.

"Ok, Meredith, you know the drill. It's going to be cold."

I nod as I wait anxiously to see a picture of my baby on the screen.

"There she is," Dr. Jacobs said.

"She?"

"Oh my gosh Mer! You're having a girl! And I'm having a boy! Oh Mer, I'm so happy for you!" Kate grabbed my hand as the three of us stared at my daughter moving around on the ultrasound screen.

"Kate, would you like to see your son on the ultrasound machine one last time before we deliver him?"

Kate nodded anxiously as she laid on the table once I had gotten up.

"Wow Kate! Look at him! He's sooo cute! I can't wait to meet my nephew!" Mark was really getting into this baby thing. He really would be a great dad one day.

Suddenly, Kate screamed in pain. Dr. Jacobs immediately hooked her up to monitor her contractions and checked her cervix. "Kate, honey, it looks like your little man wants to make his appearance a little bit early. Can I ask you something?"

Kate nodded.

"How long have you been feeling contractions?"

Kate hesitated, "Since the day before yesterday..."

"Kate! Why didn't you tell us?" I screeched.

"I didn't think it was anything. I mean, I was so close I just figured he was dropping..."

"Kate! You're going to have him today!" Mark hugged his little sister as he held her while Dr. Jacobs called for the OB nurse to assist him.

"Kate, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're far too dialated to receive any of the drugs to ease the pain. You're already at 9 cm and your son will be here within the hour. I'll be back in a few minutes to check on you, congratulations."

We all huddled together, excited that Kate was in labor. I was having a baby girl, Kate's son was being born today, and Mark was the best friend anyone could ask for. I was beginning to love my life again.

Two hours later, Cameron Alexander Sloan was born. Kate had gone back to her maiden name once she filed for divorce from Jeff. He was beautiful. Thick brown hair, baby blue eyes. He was perfect. I suddenly felt very excited about the arrival of my daughter.

As Kate rested, Mark and I decided to head out into town and get her some gifts. While we were out, we were going to get some things for my baby too. Our first stop was in the square, at a small baby boutique. The two of us were laughing and carrying on, holding up baby clothes to my belly, having a great time. Any onlooker would have thought we were together. Little did we know, someone was watching our every move.
