Author's Note: I thought it was time to add another baby in the mix. I'm open to suggestions for names, boys or girls.

Chapter Fourteen

An Another Shepherd

Meredith and Christina were sitting at the lunch table. Christina was talking, yet Meredith wasn't listening. She only snapped back into reality when Christina said her name loudly. "What's with you? You have been out of it ever since McDreamy made chief," Christina told her.

"I think I'm pregnant again," Meredith replied.

Christina turned to her. "Are you serious?"

Meredith nodded. "I skipped and the last time I skipped was when I was pregnant with Sammy."

"Wow, have you told Derek yet?" Christina asked.

Meredith shook her head. "No, I want to make sure before I tell him. Besides, he has enough on his mind right now."

"What are you going to do if you are? We haven't finished our residency yet," Christina said.

"I know that. Besides, I don't know if I am pregnant. I only think I am," Meredith replied.

"What are you guys talking about?" Izzie asked, coming over to the table. She grabbed a seat.

"Meredith thinks she's pregnant again," Christina replied, before Meredith could have a chance to reply.

"Really? It's about time," Izzie added.

"I only think I am. I may not be," Meredith replied.

"She skipped. She said that the last time she skipped was when she was pregnant with Sammy," Christina told Izzie.

Izzie looked at her. "That's definitely a sign."

"I told you, I'm not sure. I just think I am," Meredith repeated.

"Don't you want to be?" Izzie asked.

Meredith shrugged. "I don't know. Derek and I talked about it. We agreed that we should wait until after my residency is over."

"I don't think that will happen," Izzie replied.

Meredith didn't reply. Instead, she had to go back to work.

Later, she grabbed a pregnancy test and went to the bathroom. As she waited, she thought about a lot of things. She thought how Derek would react if it was positive. She thought about how they were going to juggle their jobs with two kids. She then knew that she couldn't start worrying until after the results.

She then looked at the stick and then at the box. When she came out of the stall, Christina, Callie, Izzie and Lexie were waiting for her. Meredith looked at Christina and Izzie, furious. "Why don't you tell the whole hospital while you're at it," Meredith said angrily.

"You'll get over it," Christina replied.

"So are you pregnant or not?" Izzie asked.

Meredith knew that there would be no hiding it now. So she told them the truth. "Yes, I am," she said, nodding. Her friends squealed. Meredith couldn't help but smile.

The next evening, Meredith waited impatiently for Derek to come home. She was going to tell him that night over a romantic dinner. Finally, he came home. He came in the kitchen, surprised. "Wow, something smells good."

"It's chicken with a salad. I thought it would be nice to have a romantic dinner alone," Meredith said. "Lexie's watching Sammy."

"Well, that's sounds perfect," Derek said and took a seat. "How was your day?"

"It was good," Meredith replied. She decided to cut to the chase. "I have some news…good news. At least, I think it's good news for us. I'm pregnant."

Derek looked at her. "Are you serious?"

Meredith nodded. "Yeah, I am. I just found yesterday."

"That's wonderful. We're going to have a baby," he said, getting up. She got up as well and they kissed a passionate kiss.

"How many weeks are you?" he asked.

"I don't know. Looks like we are going to have to ask our doctor," Meredith replied. "Are you sure you are happy about this?"

Derek nodded. "Of course I am. Besides, it would be nice for Sammy to have a brother or sister."

"I'm not sure how she's going to take it. After all, she has been the center of attention," Meredith replied.

"Why don't we find out?" Derek asked.

Once Sammy greeted her parents, Derek and Meredith decided not to beat around the bush. Meredith knelt down to her level. "Sammy, how would you like it if you had a little brother or sister?"

"Really?" Sammy exclaimed.

"Yeah, Daddy and I are going to have a baby," Meredith replied. Sammy hugged her parents tightly. Derek and Meredith smiled, glad that she was taking it so well.

"Is Aunt Addy going to be your doctor?" Sammy asked.

Derek and Meredith shook their heads. "No, she's in LA. That's too far. We're going to find a new doctor."

Sammy was disappointed. Meredith then had a feeling she said that just so they could visit Addison. Since Addison moved to LA, they went to visit her every summer. Sometimes, she had driven up for a surprise visit.

When they arrived home, Meredith put Sammy to bed. Then she crawled in bed next to Derek. "I can't believe Sammy asked that question about Addison," Meredith told him as she grabbed her book.

"Well, I am not the one who told her the story," Derek said, looking sternly at her.

"She didn't want a fairy tale that night. Besides, she loved hearing about us," Meredith replied.

"Meredith, Sammy's four. I didn't think she was ready to hear that stuff until she's thirteen," Derek said.

"Don't worry. I put it into little terms where she understood," Meredith replied. Derek, however, didn't look convinced.

As Meredith lay in bed, she started thinking about the future again. Derek noticed the look and turned to her. "What're you thinking about?"

Meredith sighed. "I haven't finished my residency. You just made Chief. Are we really ready for another baby?"

Derek gave her a look. "You worry too much. We'll work it out." Meredith sighed, who knew he was right. They were able to work it out when Sammy was born. Why not this baby as well?
