**five minutes later**

"Mer" said Izzy

"Hey Iz" I said

"What happened?"

"I don't really know, I was checking on my patient and then suddenly I was dizzy and I couldn't breathe"

"Awe Mer is the baby ok?"

"Yes thankfully she's fine"

"She?"

"aha Addison said she got the dates wrong I'm 17 weeks pregnant"

"That's exciting"

"Yeah it is pretty exciting"

"Hey, what are you going to call her?"

"Derek gets to chose, we had a bet"

"Let's hope he picks a good name"

"Have you thought of any names?"

"No, I am going to wait until I know what they are"

"I guess that's smart, what do you want them to be?"

"As long as their healthy I don't care"

"Yes you do, everyone says that but they don't mean it"

"Ok well, I guess a boy and a girl would nice

"Yeah that would be cool, then you can teach the girl one to bake and Alex can teach the boy one to... I don't know, what does Alex like?"

"He can teach your son to be an evil spawn" said Christina

"Christina" I yelled, laughing "ow"

"Are you ok Mer" said Izzy

"Yeah, I'm ok"

"My little girl is going to be dark and twisty" I cried "she's going to have split ends, and Alzheimer's, and suicidal tendencies"

"Oh Mer, no she's not" said Izzy

"Yeah after all she's half McDreamy, she's going to have perfect hair and be all chatty"

"That's true" said Izzy

"Oh, we're going to have to have all of Derek's family come"

"Of course you are" said Izzy

"How many of them are there?" said Christina

"He has four sisters and his mother"

"Fun" said Christina sarcastically

Knock Knock

"Come in" I called

"Hey Mer" said Derek

"We're out of here" said Christina, as her and Izzy left

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine" I said

"And our little girl?"

"She's great, kicking away, right on my bladder"

"That's good" said Derek placing his hand on my stomach "I love you"

"I love you too, but get off me I need to pee"

"Mer you're supposed to be on bedrest"

"Well I need to go to the bathroom"

"I'll carry you"

"you can't carry me I'm too fat"

"No you're not"

"Meredith, how are you?" said Addison

"Better"

"Her blood pressure has gone down" said Derek

"I can see that"

"Sorry"

"That's ok, you're just worried"

"Is she going to be ok?"

"She should be just fine, we want to aim to keep the baby... inside you for as long as possible but 30 weeks is good"

"Is 30 weeks safe?"

"Meredith, I am the best, obviously I can't make any guarantee's, but yes it's safe"

"How far along is Izzy?"

"Umm... 14 weeks why?"

"I'll aim for... 37 weeks"

"I'm glad you're aiming high but it isn't your fault if you don't make get that far"

"I will come back and talk to you tomorrow"

"Ok thanks Addison"

"Thanks Addy" said Derek

**With Izzy and Christina**

"Hey hurry up" said Christina "we have rounds"

"Stevens hurry up" said Bailey

"Sorry" said Izzy

"Ok who's presenting?"

"Me" said Christina "33 year old women, Meredith Grey, 17 weeks pregnant, diagnosed with preeclampsia yesterday"

"What's the outlook?" said Bailey

"six weeks in the hospital and then bed rest until delivery" I said

"Thank you Meredith" said Bailey "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine" I said

"Any Dizziness?"

"No, I feel fine"

"What about the baby?"

"She's good" I said smiling

"Ok, we'll see you later"

"Bye Mer" said Christina and Izzy

"Bye Mcbaby" said Christina

"Aww... bye" I said rubbing my belly

"C'ya Mer" said Alex

"Alex, wait..." I said

"What's wrong Mer?"

"What are you going to teach your babies?"

"What do you mean?"

"Izzy's going to teach the babies to bake and to be all bright and shiny, what are you going to teach the baby?"

"Umm... I don't know, I'll get back to you"

"Make sure you do Karev, I have nothing else to do, I'll hunt you down"

"Ok Mer"

"Meredith?" Said the Chief "what are you doing here?"

"Oh nothing, just hanging out" I said

"Why are you in a hospital bed?"

"I have preeclampsia"

"You're pregnant?"

"Ummm... Yes"

"Sorry, I don't listen to gossip"

"Oh sorry we should have told you"

"That's ok, is everything ok?"

"Except that I am stuck in a bed for the next four and a half months"

"Is everything ok? You know with the ... baby"

"Yes she's great"

"I'm so happy for you Meredith... your mother would have been so proud"

"Ha no she wouldn't I can hear in my head... why'd you go and get pregnant you silly little girl, I never wanted a kid you're going to regret it too" I said my eyes starting to well up with tears

"Oh Meredith... I'm sorry, it's my fault, and you know your mother did love you"

"Yeah that's why she neglected me and drove my father away"

"I know you don't believe me but I'm sorry, I am so sorry... you know she used to say to me... poor Meredith that poor little girl, her father left you know"

"I know that deep... deep down she cared"

"She did care she just didn't know how to show it"

"Oh god... oh my god"

"what, what's wrong" said the chief all panicky

"I am going to be a terrible mother"

"No, no you're not"

"Yes I am I am going to mess up my kid"

"No you will not be like your mother and besides you have Derek to help"

"Are you saying I need Derek's help?"

"No, not at all I just meant that if you needed him he will be here for you"

"So you don't think I will be a good mother?" I started to cry

Just then Derek entered Meredith's room

"Hey hey what's wrong?" He asked

"Oh thank god, I'm just going to leave, bye Meredith" said

"Mer- are you ok?" asked Derek

"I'm really embarrassed" I said

"Why?"

"Well first I yelled at the chief, then I cried in front of the chief"

"It's ok"

"No you know it's all your fault"

"How is your temper my fault?" asked a very confused looking Derek

"Because you knocked me up and now I have all these stupid pregnancy homones"

"Oh so it's all my fault... you now last time I checked you were an active participant... in the baby making" Meredith started to giggle

"Oh yeah I forgot... the stairs"

"Yeah... the stairs and the kitchen counter"

"At least we aren't going to be one of those couples that names there kid after where it was conceived"

"I don't know I really quite like stairs as a name"

"Hahaha yeah me too"

"So what names do you really like?"

"Hmm well I really like Riley oh and Faith"

"I really like Faith but not as a first name"

"...Holly, Holly Faith"

"I love it"
