Chapter 10
28 weeks after prom, 7 months
Meredith walked into Seattle Grace Hospital. She was 7 months pregnant with triplets.You could say she was pretty big. She could barely fit behind the wheel of her car anymore. Her appointment with Dr. Shepard the other day had gone well. Neither of the Shepards knew the babies were Dereks. She still didn't talk to Derek, but had become suprisingly good friends with Addison. Meredith stepped onto the elevator, getting another pain in her stomach. It's not time. I'm only 28 weeks. It's not time. Do you hear me, it's not time!
Meredith went about her day as usual. Checking on patients, running labs, scrubbing in on surgeries. Every once and a while she would get another 'pain' in her abdomen. She ignored it. It was too early.
At the end of the day she stepped into the elevator. Indside was the father of her babies, and his wife. Just as she stepped on she got another pain. Not in front of Addison. But it was too late, Addison noticed.
"Meredith are you okay?" Addison asked her, stepping up so she was standing next to her. Before Meredith could say she was okay, she felt her water break. Now this is akward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within 20 minutes she was in a hospital bed, hooked up to all sorts of moniters. Addison walked into her room as all the nurses left.
"Meredith if you would have told me earlier today we could have tried to stop labor, but it's too late now, we have to go ahead with the c-section. Okay?" Addison asked.
"Yeah" Meredith responded.
"Which of your delightful interns would you like to prep you?" Addison asked, making the not-so-humerous situation humerous.
"I don't care." Meredith replied. Addison stood up and left the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meredith lied on the operating table. In a few minutes she would be a mother. I'm going to be a horrible mother. Why didn't I have the abortion?
"Meredith you're going to feel some pressure and then the first baby will be out. Okay?" Addison asked Meredith through her mask.. Meredith nodded, scared as hell. Within a minute she could hear a faint cry. And then she started crying. She didn't know why, maybe sadness, maybe happiness, maybe being scared, who knows, but she started crying.
Not far after Addison delievered 2 more babies. All 3 girls, all looking quite identical. Meredith kept on sobbing, still unsure why. She was just… sobbing.

Okay, I know that was short, barely 2 pages. But before I go on, I need name suggestions. I know some have already given me some… thanks. Next chapter up tonight (Sunday) or tomorrow.
Anyways, lets talk about the chapter. Meredith had her daughters. Who are pretty premature. She is scared. But she is not crying because she is scared. She is crying because she finally realized this was real. The day she had her babies was today. So I guess she was crying because she was scared.
PS I don't know if any of that medical stuff is true, I'm only a high school freshman! Oh well if it isn't (which I'm pretty sure it wasn't true).
Read (which you already did) and review please! PLEASE!
