Chapter Twenty- Five: And We'll Run For Our Lives
Another few weeks have passed. Meredith is now 30 weeks pregnant and she has been living in the trailer with Derek and she refuses to speak to Marc or tell him anything about the baby. Today she had an appointment at Mercy West and then she and Derek were going to shop for furniture for the nursery they were building in Meredith's house. When they got to the hospital she changed into a gown and lay on the table.
"Okay Meredith you know the drill this is going to be cold"
DR. King rubbed the jell over Meredith's tummy and she flinched
"You never really get used to how cold it is though"
Derek laughed and stroked her hair.
"So Meredith did you finally notify the father?"
"Umm… no Derek is just here, he has been taking care of me"
"Well Derek you are doing a good job, Meredith's BP is in the normal range, she has gained just the right amount of weight, and the baby looks great we have a little thumb sucker on us"
DR. King turned the screen to face Derek and Meredith
"Wow that looks like a big baby"
"Calm down Meredith I am sure she isn't that big"
"My god Derek stop calling my son a she"
"Wait Meredith, did I even tell you the sex of the baby?"
"No DR. King you didn't but I am convinced it is a boy and Derek is convinced it is a girl"
"Would you like me to put an end to the dispute and tell you?"
"Yes! Please tell us! Please!"
"Derek come on I told you…"
"Meredith please"
He gave her his best McDreamy look
"Fine you can tell us, then we will know what color to buy when we go shopping today"
DR. King laughed and looked at the screen then back at them.
"Meredith is right, you are having a boy"
"I told you! The mother is always right"
"Well unless Marc is the father, then the father was right too"
"Oh yeah Marc"
"Sorry I brought him up Meredith"
"It's okay, so everything looks good then DR. King"
"Yes it does, if you keep up what you are doing, but maybe even slowing down a little more since we are nearing the end, you will be the mother of a healthy baby boy in 10 weeks"
Meredith smiled at Derek and he smiled back. Then she got up and got changed and they headed off to shop for the baby.
First stop was pottery barn to pick out the furniture for the nursery. They went right to the nursery section and after debating for a while they decided on a nursery set, a rocker for the nursery, and a bassinet for the baby to sleep in before he slept in the crib.
Once they had finished the furniture shopping then headed clothes shopping. They bought a ton of outfits for the baby, Meredith thought it was too much but Derek insisted on it. Then they ate lunch in the food court and went back to Meredith's place so Derek, Alex and George could set up all the furniture and Meredith could take a nap before going in to work.
When she woke up the boys had finished the nursery and she drove off to work. She briefly looked down to change the radio station on her stereo, she looked back up and all she could see were bright white headlights in her eyes and she slipped into a state of unconsciousness.
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right in all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But ever single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
A/N: Please don't hate me. This was going to happen since the beginning, but I have to admit I am kind of sad there are only four chapters left! And well I promised action and drama in the conclusion of this story so this is me doing action and drama.
