We'll Be Alright

Two weeks after the accident, Derek had recovered completely and he had come back to the house with Meredith and Laura. Things seemed to be falling back into place.

They were all sound asleep, taking advantage of the fact that they were on call and practically had the day off.

The uncomfortable feeling Meredith was experiencing woke her up, she rolled over facing her night stand and checked on the clock '6:43 am' she rolled over back to Derek who muttered something she couldn't understand and pulled her closer to him.

Just as she closed her eyes and was about to try to sleep again, she fell a strong rush of nausea and jumped out of the bed running to the bathroom.

Derek rushed after her, he leaned down and held her hair while rubbing circles on her back to sooth her.

He gave her tissues and a glass of water.

"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to wake you up. But, i kind of have no control over this morning sickness." She said softly getting up

"Hey, it's fine. Don't worry. I'll be here to hold your hair, rub your back and spoil you as many times as you need to alright? You're carrying our baby Mer. There's nothing i wouldn't do for you." He said smiling as he hugged her.

"Thank you." She grinned and instinctively placed her hand over her still flat abdomen.

"Do you want to go back to sleep or want me to go get Laura and make us some breakfast?" He asked.

"Breakfast please. Can you get some granola bars with flavors? Oh! and a bowl of fruit and yogurt too?" She asked nonchalantly.

Derek let out a small giggle and grinned. "Sure."

"What? No judging here" she smirked.

"I'm not, i just never thought you'd Ask for healthy food as a pregnancy craving." He said laughing.

"Well neither did i. But this is your kid, so apparently he or she is a health-nut as well." She mocked.

"I love you." Derek said and kissed her. "I'm gonna go get Laura, oh when will we tell her?"

"I have been thinking about it and i believe we should try to wait as long as we can, you know until we're on a safer stage and it starts showing. The same for telling everyone else." She said biting her lip.

She saw Derek's focused gaze.

"I'm sorry if i'm being too.."

He interrupted, "no no, it's okay. I totally understand. It's a great idea. I just, don't want you to be so worried about it. Everything will be okay." He said.

"I really hope so. I'm scared."

"It's normal for you to be scared. I am too. But this is going to be amazing. Next year we'll have two gorgeous kids and will be living in the new house." He said excited.

"That's true. Wow... I can't believe we're gonna have two kids. It seems so unreal."

"It does. Thank you Mer, for this, for everything. I've been dreaming about this lifetime with you for such a long time." He smiled.

She felt tears forming in her eyes and smiled as well.

"Sorry, i didn't mean to cry, it's just this stupid pregnancy hormones." She laughed.

He kissed her and went to get Laura.

"Good morning princess, want to help me get some breakfast for mommy?"

"Morning daddy, yes! I'll help you!" Laura said excited and ran to Meredith and Derek's bedroom.

"Morning mommy!" She said running to Meredith who was picking up clothes from her closet.

"Hey! Good morning sweetie! How's my baby girl doing today?" Meredith cooed as Laura hugged her.

"I'm good. I'll make you breakfast with daddy."

"Mhm it's going to be delicious, thank you honey."

They went downstairs, Laura climbing down the stairs alone, it was something Meredith was terrfied of thinking Laura could get hurt, but the little girl had managed to coordinate well her moves.

As they got inside the kitchen, Meredith's pager went off.

"Oh no, please don't tell me they need you." Derek muttered.

Meredith checked her pager and smiled when she saw the message. "It's from Dr. Moore. She said she has time today for the first ultrasound."

"That's great! When does she want us to go?"

"11:30" she said not being able to hide the excitement in her voice.

"Alright, we'll be done with breakfast quickly so we get there on time." He smiled.

"Come one sweetie, help me get the fruit and we'll chop it and put some strawberry yogurt on it alright?" Derek said to Laura.

"Yaay!" She exclaimed happy.

Meredith watched them with the biggest smile. One and a half years ago, she would have never even thought that she and Derek would work things out, not even dream about getting married, having kids and building a house. Things weren't going as she thought they would, at all.

They were going so much better. It seemed like everything was falling back into place, it was all happening really fast. But, as much as it scared her, she couldn't help but feel excited about it. Seeing Derek with Laura, it was what she had always dreamed of. He was such an amazing father to her. It was unbelievable how much he loved her.

As thoughts kept flowing she realized tears escaped her eyes and wiped them right away.

Derek turned around smiling, with Laura taking the bowls to the table.

"Is something wrong?" He asked cocerned.

"No, nothing at all. It's just that seeing you with Laura and thinking that in another seven months we'll have...it's amazing." She said smiling.

They sat on the table and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Meredith's anxiety for strawberry yogurt didn't pass unnoticed.

"Mommy you're hungry." Laura pointed out.

Meredith giggled. "Yeah, it's because it's so delicious baby, thank you for making me breakfast"

They showered and got ready to go to the hospital. When they arrived, Meredith spotted Izzie in the nurse station and asked her if she could watch Laura for 20 minutes.

"Sure! I'll be happy to do so. Page me when you're done. I thought you were on call." Izzie said.

"I am. I just, had to check on a patient's post-op. It was a complicated surgery so.. I'm gonna get going." Meredith said and fleed to the doctor's office.

"Good morning Dr. Grey, Dr. Shepherd." The OB greeted.

"Good morning Dr. Moore, thank you for making a space for us."

"My pleasure. Let's check this baby out."

When they got everything set up, the doctor looked for the heartbeat and found it easily.

"Excellent, strong heartbeat. It'd about nine weeks. And here...is your baby." She smiled showing Meredith and Derek the screen.

They looked at the screen in awe. Meredith barely containing tears.

"I'll get you the ultrasound photos printed. I'll be back in a moment."

The doctor said and left them alone.

"Oh my God. It's really happening. It's our baby." Meredith grinned.

"It is our perfect little baby." He grinned holding her hand and kissing her forehead.

The doctor came back and gave them the photos. "I'll see you for the 12th week ultrasound Meredith. Baby's looking perfectly healthy, so i'm expecting this to be a smooth pregnancy." She smiled.

"Thank you Dr. Moore." They left the doctor's office and headed to tje elevator.

"Seems like everything will be alright." Meredith smiled nervously.

"It will, baby's totally fine and so are you. We'll take care of everything we need to." Derek comforted her.

Meredith went to pick up Laura, who was chatting with Izzie.

"Geez, she's very talkative. Just like Derek, but she rambles, just like you." Izzie laughed.

"Yeah! I guess she picked up many things from us." Meredith giggled.

"Thank you Iz."

"No problem, have a nice free afternoon. I'm leaving as well."

"You too. Bye Iz."

"By aunt Izzie." Laura said waving her hand.

"Bye sweetie."

They got inside the car and went to have lunch and walk around. After all, they didn't have too many on call free days. So they had to tale advantage of this one.

Later in the afternoon, Derek drove them to the land

"I want to show you something." He grinned.

"What is it?"

"It's a surprise." He winked. "Come on."

They climbed off the car and headed to the part of the land where Derek had proposed months ago.

Instead of finding a huge extension of grass and then the trees, Meredith saw a huge amount of construction material, concrete, bricks, wood, machines. A really huge part of the land had a concrete base on it and small walls were being built.

"Derek" she said amazed. "You're already.."

"I called the contractors several weeks ago and I've been coming to help and do the building since before the accident. But, this past two weeks, i just came to supervise and help with the lighter work, because of my injury."

Meredith was in tears again. 'Damn hormones' she thought.

"So...when the thing with Josh happened, you were still working on this? I thoght you left and were thinking about.."

"Oh Mer. No, i'd never...I told you. I was an a-s-s for not listening to you. But i never even thought about leaving you and Laura and... I'm so sorry for what i put you through. I should have..

"No, no, don't do this. I was a j-e-r-k too. You don't have to apologyze any more okay? We've talked about it already. I love you Derek, this is amazing. It's just breath-taking beautiful." She grinned.

"I love you too, so much. It's all following the house plans we made after the wedding." He smiled taking her hand.

"Wow, this is seriously.."

"I'm glad you like it."

"I love it!. Do you like this Laura? This is where our new house is gonna be. Would you like to live here?"

"I love it!" Laura said echoing Meredith. "We're gonna live here?! Now?! I want to live here mommy!"

"Yeah, we're gonna live here sweet-pea. But we have to wait until the house daddy is building is ready."

"Build it fast daddy!."

"Bossy, just like your mom." He laughed as he picked Laura up.

Meredith laughed

"Oh! and i wanted to tell you, good thing we thought about multiple kid bedrooms when we designed the house. We're gonna need them." He grinned. "At the pace we're working. I'm sure it'll be ready for when..."

"Really? That's amazing!" Meredith said excited.

"I...you know i've been feeling scared about what was going to happen. But, that feeling suddenly, kind of faded away." She said smiling.

"I promise everything will be just fine. I mean, how can it not be? We have each other, we have this beautiful, smart, funny little girl. We're having another b-a-b-y, a new house..."

"We do, we always will." She grinned and they kept on walking around the land that would be their home in a few more months.
