Early September

Early September

Meredith tied a ribbon around Ava's ponytail. Today Ava would be starting a 2 year old program at a local Nursery School. This would be the school she would be attending next year, so Derek and she decided it would be a good idea to sign her up, so she would get adjusted to the surroundings. On this particular day Meredith to be brutally honest felt like crap. She didn't tell Derek though because she knew, he would get all crazy and protective and try to take the day off.

"Look how pretty you look." said Derek as he leaned against the door as Meredith finished up Ava's hair.

"Daddy look at my pretty green dress." said Ava as she hopped of her stool and rushed into his arms.

"Yes you look beautiful bear." said Derek as he picked her up and kissed her forehead.

Meredith sighed and smiled as she quickly ran a brush through her hair.

"Bear why don't you get your back-pack so we can get ready to go." said Derek as he put her down and let her run to find her back pack."

Meredith quickly put some blush on her pale face.

"Mere are you alright. You're awfully quiet this morning." said Derek as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm fine. Just tired." said Meredith as she leaned into him.

"Mommy, Daddy I'm ready for school!" said Ava with her back-pack.

Bright Horizons Nursery School

Meredith stood by the stroller with Derek, with all the other parents. She gripped the stroller tightly. Not because she was afraid of the stroller rolling away. She honestly felt like she was going to pass out. Ava waved to her parents before heading in with her teacher and classmates.

"I can't believe she's starting school. Even if it's only a two year old program.

"Yeah. She's getting big." said Meredith as she gripped the stroller so hard her knuckles almost started to turn white.

"We've done well." said Derek as he side hugged Meredith and kissed her forehead and then let go.

"Derek?" asked Meredith with a shaky voice.

"Yes?" said Derek as he looked up from where he was kneeling in front of the stroller playing with the babies.

"Call 911." said Meredith a she passed out.

Derek instantly stood up and raced over to check for a pulse, when he reached down he slowly felt a pool of blood, forming under her.

"Someone call 911!" he screamed going into doctor mode.

Immediately one of the women who witnessed the scene unfold, whipped out her cell phone and called.

"Hang on Mere. Help is coming." said Derek as he held her in his arms.

Seattle Grace Hospital

"Slow day." said Mark to the chief as they waited for an ambulance.

"Yeah. Should pick up soon though." said the chief

All of a sudden the ambulance pulled in and out jumped Derek with the twins in his arms and an EMT carrying the folded stroller.

"I need a CT scan and IV now." Derek shouted as calmly as he could at the interns.

"Derek you can't supervise this case." said the Chief.

"No. I need to make sure her head is okay." said Derek

"Derek we will make sure to run all tests and do all pre-cautionary tests. You need to take your daughters and wait for your wife." said the chief as he sat him down in the waiting room chair.

Two hours later

Dr. Bailey entered the waiting room two hours later.

Derek looked up from tending to the twins in their stroller.

"She's fine. She was dehydrated and Mark stitched up her cut, she won't have a scar. Izzie went to pick Ava up from school. I'll watch the girls on my break for half an hour. Go see your wife." said Dr. Bailey.

Derek raced down the hall down to her hospital door. Just thankful she was okay.

Next chapter will have more Meredith and Derek alone!
