40 Weeks
Hello again! Its been a long day haha, Same not as last time, how I'm trying to update as much now as possible because it probably wont happen during the week, but I'm still fully committed to this story, and it probably wont just update as fast as it has been. Please keep reviewing!
A/N: I don't own anything! No Addison, she ruins the whole Mer/Der thing. She and Mark are in New York is what I have been saying, but I've changed my mind, and its gonna be there never was an Addison. Since this is the chapter where Meredith and Derek are going to meet Derek's sisters in NYC, its just better this way.
Week 6
"Meredith, hurry up!" Derek called up the stairs. It was Friday morning and their flight was leaving in less than two hours. In two hours, Derek and Meredith would be in New York City, getting ready to meet his family, well, just his sisters. His parents were on a cruise to South America.
"I'm coming!" she called back.
She was in fact, almost ready. Slipping her toothbrush into her makeup case, she stood in front of the mirror. She had hardly gained any weight, only a pound, but that was probably from all the sugar and oranges she was eating. Even though she hadn't gained much weight, her belly was making a small rounded shape. She placed a loving hand on her belly, and then grabbed her purse and makeup case, and went downstairs.
Izzie, Derek, Alex, George, and Callie were all gathered downstairs.
"Gosh, we're only leaving for four days!" Meredith laughed when she saw them all.
"Yeah, well, we all have the day off too." Said George.
"Yea. Well, we better get going. No parties Izzie. I'm serious." Meredith warned with a smile.
"We know." Said Alex. "No parties, no breaking things, just be cool."
"You are so far from cool." Said George.
"And any fights, take them outside." Reminded Derek.
"Okay, we gotcha. Have fun!" Called Izzie from the front door as Meredith and Derek sped off to the airport.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"Well, I am sufficiently nervous." Meredith remarked. The plane had just landed at Laguardia Airport in New York City, and they were in a TownCar, on their way into Manhattan. They were meeting Derek's four sisters and their kids in Queens, where they all lived except for Sara, but Derek had gotten them a room at the Waldorf Astoria to stay in while they were visiting.
"Don't be nervous. They'll love you."
"Okay, Sara, Erica, Jane, Maggie."
"You got it. Don't worry though, it's going to be like a picnic sort of thing. The kids and the husbands and all that."
"oh yeah. That makes me a lot less nervous."
"Don't worry babe. They'll love you."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
2 hours later
Derek and Meredith had changed, Derek was in his usual, and Meredith was in a flowy top, and a cropped sweater, with khaki slacks. Low heels and matching jewelry completed the look.
"You look beautiful." Derek remarked.
Meredith blushed.
"Whats wrong? Why are you blushing?" Derek chuckled.
"You just make me feel so good about myself. Are you gonna feel the same way when I'm a zillion pounds and bloated with swollen ankles, and don't fit into any of my normal clothes?"
Derek laughed. "Mer, you are carrying our baby, and that means the world to me. You will be beautiful even when you are in labor."
Meredith smiled. "Oh God, we're here."
Looking out into the big backyard of the white house, Derek and Meredith saw lots of little kids running around, and lots of adults sitting around watching.
"Ready sweetheart?"
"Yeah."
Derek kissed her cheek, opened her door, and wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked up to the white gate.
"Hello!" Derek called.
"OH MY GOSH! DEREK IS HERE!" cried two of the women.
Cries of Uncle Derek, Derek, and Dr. Sheperd rang throughout the yard as everyone came rushing to greet them.
"Everyone, before I say anything else, I want you to meet someone." Looking lovingly at Meredith, "this is my fiancée, Meredith Grey."
The crowd dispersed, everyone trying to talk to Derek and Meredith at the same time.
"Hello Meredith, I'm Erica. Derek's oldest sister." She enveloped Meredith in a huge hug. After meeting her and her husband and her four children, Meredith met Jane. Jane had two teenagers, and both of them seemed to be very interested in Meredith and who she was.
Looking over at Derek during all the introductions, he was swinging Maggie's son Jack around. He was adorable, a one year old with duckfeather blonde hair and a sweet smile.
She then met Maggie, her husband and six kids, and finally Sara. Sara and Merdith seemed to have a lot in common. Although six years apart, they had a lot in common.
"Hey Meredith, I'm Sara."
"it's so nice to meet you, I've heard such great things about you."
"Oh, that's sweet of you, Derek been treating you right?"
"Definitetly. I couldn't have found anyone better."
"That's good to hear. He always was the most sensitive to women out of the men we knew."
"Yeah, I can tell. Growing up with sisters, must certainly have helped."
"I hope so. Are you a doctor as well?"
"Intern, actually, I'm studying to be a neurosurgeon just like Derek."
Meredith and Sara talked some more, and Meredith's glance turned to Sara's slightly protruding stomach.
"Like my bump?" Sara laughed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare, its just- "
"You're pregnant too, aren't you?" Sara asked in a low voice.
"What? How would you know? I haven't been touching my stomach have I?"
"No, its just the way you looked at my bump, with a certain look, it's the same look that I got when I was pregnant with my first son. A longing to be like that, and so comfortable with it all."
Meredith smiled. "Derek and I are really happy, but we were actually going to wait a little longer before we tell everyone, just because I'm not through the first trimester yet, and we just want to be sure."
"I completely understand. I wont say anything."
"Thanks." Meredith said with a sigh of relief. "How far along are you?"
"Five months."
"Well, congratulations, You must be ecstatic."
"I am. Congratulations to you too. I'm assuming that it is your first?"
Meredith nodded.
"You'll love being a mom. It can definitely have its downside, but the good things totally outweigh the bad. You're lucky, Derek has always wanted a big family."
"Really? We never really discussed it."
"Well, look at him."
Meredith glanced over. Derek was holding little Kelly in his arms. Kelly was one of the three year old triplets. They were quite fraternal though, and Meredith immediately could remember them apart.
"Derek!" Sara called.
Derek walked over, and set Kelly down.
"Sara! You look terrific!"
Giving him a hug, "So do you. Being in love is very good for you."
Derek grinned. "I know. When did this happen?" he said motioning to her bump.
"Haha, right after the wedding."
"Well, it really suits you Sara." Derek put his hand on her stomach. "Definitely my next favorite niece or nephew." He said with a smile.
Derek felt a tug on his shirt. "I thought I was your favorite Uncle DerDer."
Picking Kelly up and swinging her around, "You are my favorite Kelly, and you will always be!" Derek smiled.
"I want you to meet someone Kell."
"Ok."
"This is Meredith," he said motioning.
"Hi!" Meredith said coming up to them.
"Hi Mer Mer."
Meredith smiled at Derek.
"Meredith and I are getting married Kell. Pretty soon, you may have some more cousins to play with."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Now, Kelly, you and Meredith can hang out while I go get something to drink."
Handing Kelly to Meredith, she took Kelly by the hand and led her over to a chair to sit down. Kelly jumped right onto her lap, and Meredith smiled at how outgoing she was.
"Are you a doctwa too?"
"Yes, I work with your Uncle Derek in Seattle at the hospital."
"Wow. That is a big hopsical."
"Yes, it is." Meredith said laughing.
"Merwidith?"
"Yes Kelly?"
"Do you wuv Der Der?"
"I love Der Der more than anything else."
"That's gwood. Will you come back and wisit sometime soon?"
"Of course I will Kelly."
With that, Kelly scampered off to go play with her sisters.
Meredith smiled, and Derek came back with their drinks.
"I really like your family Derek."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
So probably not my best work, but they had to meet the family, and that's about it for now, REVIEW
