Chapter 9
Andrew woke up a little startle by his alarm clock damm I forgot to turn it off he thought, then remembered what happened the day before and went to check on Meredith's room finding her and her children still soundly sleep and chuckled to himself when he heard her soft snore.
He was wondering about what to make for breakfast when he remembered that I was Meredith's birthday and decided to do something special for her.

The day before had been a long and rought day to Meredith, she had to pick up Zola after she wasn't feeling well and then one for one all of her kids and her started feeling sick, she was thankful for Andrew and the fact that he had helped her out with everything, she had ended up with Zola, Bailey and Ellis in her bed and now was a little scared of getting up a waking up all of them but they started to stir a little once the smell that was apparently coming from her kitchen made her way to her room.
"Hey, are you all up? Can I come in?" she heard Andrew said quietly.
"Yes." The three little voices said getting excited when they saw what he had on his hands and she was surprised too with what she saw.
"I know is lame and I wanted to do something else but I didn't know if you were up to eat something else and it's your birthday so." he said turning the light of the candle he had stuck on a pile of pancakes.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear mommy, happy Birthday to you. Blow it off mommy and make a wish!" she heard her excited children and Andrew while she blowed the candle.
"Thank you Andrew."

After they had breakfast Meredith and the kids while they were feeling a little better still feel sick so they had spend all the morning and a good part of the afternoon just watching movies and sleeping, he had prepared lunch for them and he was thankful that they have been able to keep the food down without throwing up and that they also had enjoyed it, after that keep himself busy doing some chores around the house and studying some medical journals; Maggie, Alex and Amelia had checked up on them earlier in the day too but were called out by the hospital and deciding to celebrate Meredith's birthday other day and to check on them later.
He had made them some light dinner and after that a better feeling Meredith was putting the kids in bed while he cleaned up and helped Meredith doing the laundry. He didn't realized how much time had passed or that he had felt asleep on the sofa until he felt a soft touch in his arm.
"Hey, sorry to wake you but it didn't seem comfortable how you were sleeping." Meredith said sitting down next to him in the sofa.
"Don't worry. How you feeling?"
"Better. Thank you for helping out by the way, I owe you one."
"Nah, no problem. But hey I wouldn't say no to a cool surgery you know?" he said chuckling
"So using me for surgeries, huh?" she giggled. God that giggle he thought.
"Nah, seriously it wasn't a problem but what a way to spend your birthday."
"Yeah, it wasn't the worst. At least I was with my kids"
"Today sucked and it wasn't the worst? So that's why you don't like your birthday?"
"Sort of. My life is quite a long history." she said looking a little deep in thought.
"Sorry if I over step, you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to."
"Thanks."
"You know, what do you think about dinner? Maybe tomorrow if you feel better. You and I and the best italian restaurant I know."
"What?" he looked over at him surprised.
"It's your birthday, I mean I don't know you that well but I do know that is worth celebrating another year of you, so dinner?"
"Maybe, I mean, I don't know." she looked a little surprised but by her reaction he could tell she wasn't uncomfortable with it.
"Look, just think about it and tell me."
"Okay, good night." she said getting up.
"Night."
