Meredith was standing at the nurses' station finishing some paperwork before her check up with Addison. She had to get bigger scrubs because even at 16 weeks her stomach was large due to the fact that there were two children in there. She was happy she wasn't super huge yet. 'Yet' being the key word.

Derek came up to her, bent down and kissed her belly, "Hey babies, its daddy."

Meredith giggled and ran her fingers through his hair, "I think they're started to move around."

"Seriously?" he asked, straightening up.

Meredith nodded, "Seriously."

Derek kissed her, "Ready to go see Addison?"

She finished what she was writing on the chart, "Yep," she gave the nurse the chart and took Derek's hand, heading to the elevators.

"Mom says 'hi'," Derek told her.

"I say hi to mom," Meredith replied.

Derek laughed, "I'll let her know the next time I talk to her."

They got on the elevator and Meredith turned to him, "You're sure we can do the thing? The babies and you being chief thing?"

"Yes I do. I really do," he told her, "And even if I was unsure I'd never want you to not have the babies. But I'm not unsure."

"But the Chief and Adele…and my mother…" she said, meaning that it didn't work for them and Richard had an affair.

"Mer, my career is important but my family is much more important, you're much more important and there is no way I would want to be with anyone else. And we have these two," he finished, talking to her stomach.

Meredith rolled her eyes but with a smile for him talking to her stomach again, then seriously, "we can do the thing."

"Yes we can."

--------------

Meredith sat on the exam bed, Derek sat next to her.

"How are you, Meredith?" Addison asked.

"Fine…but I feel like I have an octopus in here. They're both moving around, I think, and it feels really weird," Meredith told her.

Addison chuckled, "That's normal. They'll start kicking more strongly in a few weeks so Derek and others will be able to feel them too," she explained, "Unfortunately, sleeping will become more difficult. If you feel tired while you're working, then take a short break. Everyone knows that you're pregnant – especially Dr. Webber and Dr. Torres – so it's no problem."

Meredith nodded, "Alright."

"Are you two ready to see what you're having?" Addison asked, smiling.

Derek nodded, "I am."

"Me too," Meredith said. She lay down and moved her pants down and shirt up so Addison could have access to her baby bump.

Addison put gel on her stomach and the wand over that, turning the screen so all three of them could look at it.

"Look, they're moving around still," Addison said.

Meredith grinned, "And I can feel it."

Addison checked the twins' development the moved the wand to determine the sex. She found what she needed before Baby B moved and froze the image on the screen to point it out to them.

"That right there," She pointed to the screen, "Means you two are having boys."

Derek kissed Meredith's temple, "we're having boys."

Meredith smiled at him, "we are."

"The world will have two more McDreamies," Addison chuckled.

"Can you handle that, Meredith?" Derek asked with a smile.

"Well I can keep you in line," she replied.

Addison laughed, "It's good someone can."

"Oh yes, I'm quite the rebel…at least I didn't have the angry pink hair."

Meredith teased him, "Don't make fun of your pregnant, hormonal girlfriend."

Addison chuckled, "Very bad idea," she printed pictures and wiped off Meredith's stomach.

"I won't…not too much," he smiled the McDreamy smiled at Meredith and was rewarded with a smile back.

Bailey was sitting with Callie in the cafeteria when Meredith sat with them.

"Hey Grey," Callie greeted.

"Hey," she replied.

"How did the ultrasound go?" Bailey asked.

"Great," Meredith smiled, "We're having boys."

Callie laughed, "More McDreamies."

"God help us," Bailey said, "Congratulations, Grey."

Meredith grinned, "Thanks."

Bailey's pager went off and she groaned, leaving to answer it.

After Bailey left, Callie turned back to Meredith, "So I saw Lexie and Karev together…are they getting serious?

"Yeah, she's really happy too. I've already talked to Alex and let him know that if he hurts her, he dies."

Callie laughed, "That's good."

"How is George?" Meredith asked, "I miss him."

"He's good. He got a call back to one of his interviews…but I'm not so sure he's going to actually go through with it…he loved being a surgeon so much."

"He could just redo he intern year," Meredith suggested.

"I honestly think he's going to eventually redo it…I don't think he's going to go though with teaching."

Meredith nodded, "Derek mentioned the other day that if George wanted ot redo the year, he could. I think he'd just have to retake the boards."

"How does Derek know?" Called asked.

"Um…he's going to take over as chief," Meredith replied.

"Seriously?" Callie was surprised, "I thought he declined the offer."

"He did at first because he and I were doing so badly but we're great now and he's sure we can handle him being chief and having twins and I believe him so he's doing it.

"Wow…that's great. I'll let George know."

"Unofficially," Meredith added.

"Got it," Callie smiled.

--- --- --- ---

Derek was sitting in the chief's office with him.

"How are you doing, Derek?" Richard asked.

"I'm great, thanks."

"And how are Meredith and the twins?"

"Also great. We're having boys," Derek told him, with a big smiled.

"How about that! Congratulations," Richard smiled.

"I'm also working on a surprise for Meredith," Derek

"Oh?" Richard asked, "What sort of surprise?"

"A really, really big, probably get me hit for not telling her surprise," he built it up, "I'm having a house built on my land."

"Wow. That is a good idea considering the room you'll need having two babies. When will it be finished?"

"I met with the architect two days after my mother left," Derek told him, "there's only two more months left in building."

"Those are some good contractors you have. How many bedrooms and bathrooms?"

"Four bedrooms, three bathrooms."

Richard nodded, impressed, "Sounds nice, Shep."

"Thanks."

"I'm going to ask you once more, Derek. Are you sure you can handle it all?"

"I know I can," Derek replied.

"I spoke to the board about it…and my wife and let them know the special circumstances. After Meredith has the twins, I will be willing and allowed to return for a short time so that you can have a paternity leave with Meredith."

Derek smiled, "Thanks Richard."

"Meredith is like a daughter to me and those boys are the closest I have to grandbabies," he said, gibing Derek a look meaning that's all the explanation that will be given. He wants them taken care of and he knows Derek will do that but he has to just make sure of it.

"I know," Derek chuckled, "Grandpa Richard."

Richard chuckled, "Anyway, I have some work I need to finish up. We'll do the official paperwork next week. In the mean time you can start learning what you need to do."

Derek nodded, "Alright. How's Adele?"

"She's good. Real good. Happy that I'm finally retiring and she's happy for you and Meredith."

"Good," Derek smiled, "And tell her thank you."

"I defiantly will."

Mark saw Derek leaving the chief's office and caught up with him. "Hey, Derek."

"Hey Mark."

"Sooo boys, girls? No one knows what you're having and Meredith won't tell me."

"I won't tell you either, just come to Joe's tonight if you want to find out," Derek told him.

"Addison won't tell me either, will she?" he asked.

"No, because Meredith and I decided to have everyone at Joe's."

"That's cool," Mark said, "So is it awkward with Addie being Meredith's doctor?"

"Not at all," replied Derek, "I think they're becoming close actually."

"Really?" Mark asked surprised.

"Yeah."

"Hmm, who would have thought?" Mark asked aloud.

Derek shrugged, "Meredith and I were talking about this and….I wanted to ask you before we all went to Joes…doe you want o be one of the godfathers of the twins?"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Yeah, of course," Mark agreed, "You do know that I'm obligated to corrupt them now, right?"

Derek laughed, "Try not to until they're a bit older."

"I'll try," Mark chuckled.

"You're going to be Uncle Mark, you realize that?"

"I do."

"You were always like my brother," Derek told him.

"Same here," Mark replied.

"I still consider you my brother."

"I'm glad you didn't kill me, "he chuckled, "and I'm glad we're good again, man," Mark clapped Derek on the shoulder.

"I didn't kill you but I did punch you."

"I know. Because I was talking to Meredith…"

Derek smiled, "I know."

"What a year," Mark reminisced.

"You got that right."

--- --- --- --- --- ---

Derek and Meredith arrived at the bar and greeted their friends who had a couple tables together and drinks and water. They sat down and Lexie looked at her expectantly.

"So?" Lexie asked.

"So what?" Meredith asked, messing with her.

"Oh I don't know…how's the weather? Is it still raining?" Lexie replied in a similar manner.

"No, it finally stopped."

Cristina hit Meredith lightly, "Just tell us!"

Meredith grinned at Derek then looked at all their friends. "We're having identical twin boys."

"I know it!" Izzie said, "Pay up, Cristina."

Cristina grumbled, tossing twenty dollars to Izzie, "Here."

"You bet on them?" Meredith asked.

"They bet on everything," Callie said.

Cristina nodded, "We be on a lot of things you don't know about."

Addison raised her hand, "For the record, I'm not going to give any insider information."

"Where's the fun in that?" Mark asked.

"Its so Cristina doesn't cheat," Izzie teased.

Cristina laughed, "I don't cheat at all."

"I'm glad my friends don't bet on me," Callie laughed

George laughed too, "Congratulations, you two."

Everyone echoed their congratulations, including Joe when he brought their plates of appetizers.

"Have you thought of names?" Addison asked.

"Not really," replied Meredith.

"Are you sure you don't want to name one Alexander?" Alex asked.

"They couldn't handle another Alex in their life, one is good," Lexie smiled at him.

"Agreed," George responded quickly.

Mark jumped in, "I second that."

Cristina summed it up, "So Mer, McDreamy, if you name your child Alex, we'll hurt you."

"Don't worry," Meredith laughed, "Neither will be named Alex."

--- --- --- --- --- ---

They all ate and a short time later, Derek and Meredith got Cristina, Izzie, George and Mark away from the group to talk to them.

"So Mer?" Cristina asked, wanting to know what they wanted.

"We wanted to ask you four to be god parents," Derek told them.

"Seriously?" Cristina asked.

"Seriously," Meredith affirmed.

Izzie beamed, "Ohmigosh!! Guys!"

Mark just grinned because he was already asked.

"Wow," George smiled, "Thanks."

"I'm so excited," Izzie said, hugging Meredith then Derek.

George hugged Meredith and shook Derek's hand, Mark hugged them both.

"I don't hug," Cristina said, "but thanks."

Meredith smiled, "Thank you all for wanting to do it."

"We're honored," George spoke for everyone who voiced their agreement and appreciation for being asked.
