They gripped onto each other's hands harder. This was the moment they had been waiting for the moment when everything would become real, when they could start picking out names, colour of the nursery walls. Meredith moved her head to the side to rest it on Derek chest as they waited for an answer. They waited patiently as Dr Harrison moved the wand around her stomach trying to get the best picture possible.
"Ok there you go" Dr Harrison said as he pointed to the screen
"Oh My God" Meredith said as she shot her head up "... Derek, that's a..." She said as she nudged him
"I know, I see" He replied with a husky voice
"Ok I'll leave you two alone for a moment" Dr Harrison said as he placed a picture of their baby into Meredith's hand
"Derek..." Meredith said nearly choking trying to fight back the tears
"I know, I know" He replied smiling
"Oh my god" Meredith sobbed
"Hey don't cry" Derek said as he sat on the edge of table facing Meredith
"What, I'm not, I'm so happy. I can't believe this" She said as she whipped the tears from her face
"Come here" Derek said as he pulled Meredith into his arms to comfort her
"I love you so much" Meredith said as she wrapped her arms around his neck
"I love you to, thank you, thank you, and thank you" He replied before kissing her tenderly on the lips.

Izzie sat in the waiting room of the reading a magazine when she heard a door open. She shot her head up and saw Meredith and Derek hand in hand walking out of the exam room. She smiled at the couple as they walked towards her.
"Well?" Izzie asked smiling as she stood up and made her way over to Meredith
"It's a boy" Meredith grinned
"Seriously? Oh my god Mer that's great. I'm so happy for you" Izzie said as she wrapped her arms around her friend hugging her tightly
"Thanks" Meredith replied as she pulled away from her tight grip
"You gotta go tell Cristina" Derek jumped in before placing his hand around her back
"Yeah, I'll see her at lunch we gotta go down to the pit..." Meredith replied "... Here" She said as she handed Derek the scan of their little boy
"Thanks. See you later?" Derek said grinning took the scan from her hands
"Yeah, love you" She replied smiling
"Love you too" said Derek as he leant down and kissed her tenderly on the lips before walking towards the elevator
"Aw, you guys are too cute, I'm kind of jealous" Izzie said laughing
"Ha-Ha thanks" Meredith replied before the two of them headed towards the elevator.

Izzie and Meredith were standing at the nurse's station in the ER filling out some charts. They hand been busy suturing up patients all morning. It was just after 1pm and the atmosphere had begun to die down.
"Somebody page me?" Derek said as he walked up behind Meredith
"Yes Dr Shepherd..." Dr Bailey replied as she hung up the phone, she was standing on the other side of the nurse's station "... That was ambulance dispatch, there's an incoming trauma, with a likely head injury" Bailey continued
"Ok, let's go..." He said walking towards the ER doors
"Oh Izzie you can go and switch to Karev today, he and Dr Sloan need an extra pair of hands there in 2341" Bailey said before walking towards the ER doors
"Ok" Izzie replied before heading towards Alex location
"How you feeling?" Derek said as he saw Meredith join his side as they headed outside to the ambulance bay
"I'm fine" She smiled before they turned to see an ambulance speed around the corner
"What do we have?" Bailey shouted over the siren as the door swung open.
Two paramedics exited the ambulance along with a little girl on the gurney and a young woman who was sitting at her side
"Mia Hanson. 5 year old female, crush injury to the abdomen. Blunt trauma to the head. Her BP is 90 over 60. Pulse is 110" The paramedic replied as he handed Meredith a small chart
"How was she injured?" Derek asked he inspected Mia's head
"Backed over by her mom's SUV" the paramedic replied before rushing Mia into the ER
"Ok has she had anything to eat this today?" Meredith asked placing her hand on the young woman's shoulder
"Erm... cereal this morning around 8:30" The woman said with panic in her voice
"Ok Mrs Hanson we are going to take care of your daughter" Meredith replied rubbing her hand up and down her arm for comfort
"I'm Mrs. Hanson..." a woman suddenly shouted as she rushed towards the ER doors "... Mia is my child, Anna us just the nanny who ran over my daughter" She continued before rushing past Meredith entering the ER.
Meredith watched as Anna followed, she stood there in shock for a moment raising her hand to her baby bump which was now more or less visible through her scrubs. She snapped out of her shocked state and hurried in to the ER.
"OK I'm going to examine your neck ok?" Derek said as he places his fingers onto Mia neck lightly
Mia looked up at Meredith with a petrified look in her eyes. Meredith reached for Mia's hand and rubbed it gently to sooth her.
"It's ok Mia, my name is Meredith. And Dr Shepherd and Dr Bailey are just trying to see where you are hurt ok" Said Meredith as she squeezed onto Mia's tiny hand
"What happened" shouted a man as he entered the room
"She ran over Mia in the drive way" Mrs Hanson said to her stunned husband
"She what?" He replied in shock
"She wasn't supposed to be in the drive way... Mrs Hanson told me to go get some milk and I... I didn't see her" Anna explained almost sobbing
"How do you not see a child standing in the drive way? Where were you?" Mr Hanson shouted before looked at his wife
"What?" She replied
As the couple began to argue Derek continued his work up on little Mia who by this point was crying.
"Ok, she has blood in her ear canal. We need to get her up stairs for a CT" Derek said as he put his light into his pocket
"Derek?" Meredith said before turning to look at Mia's parents who were in the middle of a shouting match
"HEY...!" Bailey shouted starting everyone in the room including Mia's parents "... It's the car's fault ok? SUV's have blind spots the size of Jupiter. And all this yelling and fighting and placing blame is not going to help your child" Bailey finished
"Is she going to be ok?" Mrs Hanson asked diverting her attention to her daughter
"She's got some blood in her ear canal so I have to take her up for a CT" Derek explained as they began to wheel her out of the trauma room
"It's going to be ok, baby girl" Anna said as she took over Meredith place at Mia's side before holding onto her hand
"Get away from her. Now!" Mrs. Hanson snapped
"What?" Anna said as she watched as the three doctors rushed the little girl out of the room
"Get out of here" Mrs. Hanson ordered once more before following her husband out of the room leaving Anna behind alone.
Once Meredith had secured Mia in the CT machine she entered the CT room to find Derek and Dr Bailey sitting down waiting for her pictures to come up.
"Ah" Meredith sighed quietly as she sat down behind Derek slowly placing her hand over her stomach
"Meredith are you ok?" Derek said spinning around on his chair to face Meredith
"Yeah I'm just..." She began as Derek placed his hand on her knee "... I'm fine. Derek?" Meredith said nudging her head towards the CT screen
"Oh no" Dr Bailey said while looking intently at the little girls scans

Meredith was alone in the intern's locker room getting ready for Mia's surgery. She began to wrap her hair in a pony tail when she saw Derek walk through the door.
"Hey" He said with a smile as he made his way over to her
"Hi" She replied placing her scrub cap on her head "I'm about to go into surgery" Meredith told him as he placed his hand on her waist
"Are you sure you're ok?" Derek asked as he proceeded to rub his hand up and down her back
"I'm fine" Meredith replied as she tied the strings on her scrub cap.
"Are you?" Derek asked with a concerned look before placing his hand on to her stomach
"Yes. We..." Meredith smiled as she placed her hand on top of his "... Are fine"
"Ok" Derek smiled before leaning down to kiss her on the lips
She placed both her hands either side of his face and returned the kiss more intensely
"You are teasing me woman" Derek laughed after she pulled away
"Sorry" Meredith smiled while biting her lip
"When am I going to get some sex outa you?" Derek teased back by gripping onto her waist and pulling her closer in to him
"Mmm... Well you have been very patient, and I thank you for that..." Meredith said smiling "But I have surgery so..." Meredith pulling away from him
"You really know how to ruin a moment don't you?" Derek laughed as he watched Meredith walk towards the locker room door "... You know you're gonna have to make this up to me don't you?"
"Yep. See you later." She grinned before heading off to surgery leaving Derek behind.

"Okay, Grey I want you to go and talk to Mia's mother and give an update on the surgery for me" Dr Bailey ordered as they both scrubbed out from Mia's surgery.
"Yes Dr Bailey" Meredith said as she reached for the soap
"How was your appointment?" Dr Bailey asked casually
"It was fine" Meredith replied giving her mentor a slight smile
"Do you know the sex yet?" Dr Bailey continued as she wiped her arms dry
"Yeah. A boy!" Meredith said peering over to Bailey
"Oh..." She said nodding "... Well congratulations" She smiled before exiting the room leaving Meredith alone.
Once Meredith had finished scrubbing out of the surgery she made her way to the waiting area on the third floor. She saw Mrs. Hanson talking on the phone when she approached her.
"Ok thank you" Mrs. Hanson said down the phone before hanging up and walking over to Meredith
"How is she, is she ok?" Mrs. Hanson said quickly
"Yes fine, she's in the CCU, Dr Bailey was able to stop the bleeding and she should be fine. We're going to take her up for an MRI as soon as possible, just to make sure the skull fracture didn't do any damage, would you like to see her" Meredith said
"Yes please. Can we wait a moment my husband went downstairs to use the landline his battery died" Mrs. Hanson asked
"Sure" Meredith said smiling
"You must think I'm a horrible person?" Mrs. Hanson began
"What no" Meredith replied
"Yes you must. I mean I put my job before my own child. What kind of person does that? What kind of mother does that to her baby? I love my job, I love Mia more, and I'm not good at the mom stuff so I consume myself in my job." Mrs. Hanson continued
"I know it must be hard for you. Having a high powered career and a family, juggling them both must be hard. But maybe, if you really wanted both, and if you worked hard enough on your family you may be more involved with your daughter. I'm not judging and I don't think you are a terrible person. You're just human like the rest of us, we call make mistakes and when we do you have to find the right chance to make it better" Meredith explained
"Well you're a doctor, I know how life consuming being a doctor is, my sister is an attending at Mercy West Hospital, and you will soon understand how I feel." Mrs. Hanson said as she looked down at Meredith's stomach which was just visible underneath scrubs.
"Is it Mia? Is she ok?" Mr Hanson said as she approached the two women
"Yes she fine would you like to come and see her?" Meredith asked as she gestured them towards the elevator.

Derek stood outside Mia's room watching as her parents interacted with her. His mind then started to wonder off to Meredith and his little boy that he would be welcoming into the world in almost 4 months. And nothing would make him happier than seeing Meredith hold their beautiful son for the first time. Suddenly he was interrupted from his thoughts as he felt a presence at his side.
"Mia's MRI" Meredith said as she handed Derek a piece of pager
"She's bleeding, I need to go in" Derek said as he handed the paper back to Meredith
"Two surgery's in one day?" Meredith asked
"Yeah, she tough she can handle it" Derek said as he continued to stare through the window "Makes you think doesn't it?" Derek said
"About?" Meredith asked staring at him
"The future. Our baby, our life together" Derek replied looking down as Meredith with a smile
"Yeah it does..." She replied with an uneasy look on her face "... I gotta go" she said before turning to walk down the hall
"Ok" Derek projected his voice as she neared the end of the corridor.

The interns had all gathered to the one place where they felt at peace, the one place they could go and rest their head and escape from the busy world of the hospital, the tunnel. Cristina had found it on their first day as an intern and since then it had become their haven. It was a long deserted corridor stationed around the back of the hospital. And it consisted of three empty gurneys and two upside down desks plus a few vending machines.
"I'm tired" Meredith said as she entered the tunnel and took a seat on the gurney next to her person
"Yeah me to" George agreed. He was sitting in a wheel chair in front of the three gurneys that were taken by Cristina, Alex and Izzie
"Izzie is tired to" Izzie said in the third person
"What?" Meredith as she looked at her
"Did you know that Burke Cristina decannulate a heart this morning?" George said randomly
"What you decannulated a heart? Bitch" Meredith said sounding jealous
"No. Not by myself" Cristina said as he placed her head back against the brick wall behind her
"Now she lying about it" George replied as he began to swing himself around slightly in the wheel chair
"Yang decannulated a heart. Why is Alex not surprised?" Alex butted in
"Izzie isn't either..." Izzie replied as she lifted her pen from the chart she was filling out "... Last week she was digging through crap, this week she's fondling man boobs..." She continued "... No decannulating hearts for Izzie" She finished in a little tune before concentrating on her chart again
"Why are you lying about decannulating the heart?" George asked frowning at Cristina
"I didn't decannulate it" Cristina argued back
"Izzie and Alex don't believe you" Izzie interrupted
"What are you two doing?" Meredith asked leaning forward past Cristina to get a better look at Izzie
"Izzie and Alex have a patient who speaks about himself in the third person..." Izzie began
"They thought it was annoying at first, but now they kind of like it" Alex sniggered before being joined by Izzie
"Good..." Meredith grinned sarcastically "... Is it going to stop soon?" Meredith asked before sitting back against the wall pushing her stomach out slightly
"How did your exam go?" Cristina asked quickly trying to change the subject
"It was great" Meredith smiled unenthusiastically
"She found out the sex" Izzie blurted
"Seriously?" George said joyfully
"Thanks Iz. Yeah. It's a boy" She said as she pulled her phone out of her pocket
"Great to see you're so happy about it" Cristina replied before rolling her eyes
"I am... It's just..." Meredith began
"What?" Cristina asked
"Nothing. It's nothing" Meredith sighed
Suddenly the sound of someone's pager filled the room. Everyone responded and reached for the band on their scrub pants
"It's your dad" Cristina said as she looked up at George before jumping off the gurney
"Let's go" George replied as he shot up from the wheel chair and headed in the direction of his dads room
"Take it easy ok?" Cristina said to Meredith before running through the adjacent doors
"Poor George" Meredith said as she scooted herself off the gurney "... See you later" Meredith said to Alex and Izzie before walking door the corridor
"Izzie thinks Mer's all dark and twisty inside" Izzie said as she began to fill out her chart
"Alex agrees" He replied chuckling at the little game he and Izzie were playing.

After a hard long day of going in and out a surgery Meredith had finally given in to her exhaustion. She had been on her feet all day and this was the first time she had seen the inside of an on-call room in hours. She lay herself down onto the bed and closed her eyes and begun to drift off into the night. Mia's second surgery had gone well and she was finally cheering up as her mother had let her nanny Anna in to visit her. Seeing the weak relationship Mrs. Hanson had with her daughter frightened Meredith. "What if I abandon my child like my mother did? What if I become so consumed with my busy job, that I don't see him, understand him, what if he prefers to spend time with the nanny more than me" not that she would ever get one but the thought still crossed her mind "Am I even ready to be a mother, I can't do this... I can't" she thought over and over. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she didn't even hear the on-call room door open. Suddenly she felt a hand rest against her thigh. She opened her eyes to find Derek sitting on the edge of the bed
"Hi" Derek said softly with his dreamy smile
"Hey" Meredith replied tiredly lifting herself up from the pillow
"Shh, sh. don't get up" Derek said before climbing into the bed behind her
"Derek!" Meredith said weakly
"Sh just sleep, I'm here. Ok" Derek replied "I know today has been tough. So just sleep" He said as he settled himself behind her. He ran his hand through her hair moving it from her neck. He then pressed his lips along her shoulder and over the neck while reaching his hand over her waist and rubbing it across her swollen stomach.
"Mm... that feels..." Meredith moaned as Derek continued to sooth her
"Yeah?" He asked
"Yeah..." Meredith replied before turning in his arms to face him. She lingered her lips inches from his teasing him, before tangling her hand into his hair pulling him into a passionate kiss
"Mmm" Derek moaned into her mouth
He placed his hand underneath Meredith scrub top and snaked it up her stomach to her breasts felling her soft skin beneath him.
"Mer...?" Derek said breathless
"Mm?" Meredith replied
"Are you sure?" Derek asked before leaning forward to spread kisses over her neck
"Yeah, Derek please..." She whispered in breathless anticipation
Derek didn't say a word, he knew what she wanted and he knew that she was allowing him to give it to her. He continued to kiss her neck slowly before moving his hands and latching onto her scrub top pulling it over her head. He pressed her into the mattress slightly and kissing her neck as he lingered his body above hers. He kissed her chest and unhurriedly kissed his way down over the bump of her exposed stomach and down to the lining of her scrub pants. As he began to shift them down her legs he heard Meredith moan.
"Ah, Derek!" She gasped as she quickly placed her hand over her bare stomach
"What?" Derek asked coming back up to her level "Are you ok did I...?" He asked as he placed himself down by her side
"No, the baby, he kicked" Meredith replied in astonishment
"Seriously?" Derek grinned
"Yeah, ah..." She gasped once more before grabbing Derek's hand and placing underneath her own
He waited for a moment. Waited to feel his son kick against his hand for the first time "Oh, I felt him" Derek laughed. He looked up at Meredith and could see tear's forming in her eyes as she watched his hand on her stomach
"It's amazing" Derek said as he ran his hand over Meredith uncovered stomach
"Yeah it is" she smiled before kissing him intensely "I love you" she said staring into his deep grey eyes
"I love you too" he smiled before moving back down her body to remove her scrub pants. He then proceeded to kiss her inner thighs, hearing her moan at the pleasure he was giving her.
