Meredith and Alex reached their appointment just in time. They hurried in when Dr Potter called them.
"How are you Mr and Mrs Karev?" D Potter greeted them.

"Good vey good." Meredith answered and couldn't erase her smile from her face. It was a combination of having a good morning and having just been called Ms Karev for the first time since he honeymoon.

"Well i was quite surprised to find hat you we referred to me by Dr Montgomery Shepherd.. She's the best in her field, why did you not ask her?" Dr Potter inquired.

"Personal reasons." Alex answered promptly.

Dr Potter raised his eyebrows.

"Look we would rather not discuss our issues with Dr Shepherd, however, if we find a reconciliation i must warn you that there's a possibility that we will take up Dr Shepherds offer." Alex explained.

Dr Potter nodded. "Well i see a file was made up by Dr Ellis Grey." he noted.

Meredith nodded.

"That's quite odd considering she's a general surgeon and not an OB." he stated.

Meredith looked at Dr Potter with a frown. "Dr Ellis Grey is my 

mother." she told him. "Look im here for a check up, not to receive a 3rd degree from my doctor on who made my file or why i passed up the top OB/Neo-natal surgeon to look after our triplets. I was referred to by Addison. Now can you either accept that, or do we need to find someone else."

Dr Potters features softened. "I apologise Mrs Karev, curiosity has always been my biggest down fall. I am quite surprised you weren't warned by Addison . Mind you she always answered my questions so i guess she didn't find me too obtrusive."

Meredith shrugged, " im a very private person, as is my husband and our family. So how about we get the ultrasound done, and then talk about our 3 little angels." she prompted.

Meredith proceeded to climb up onto the bed. Then she pulled up her shirt and unbuttoned and unzipped her pants . Meredith laid back and took hold of Alex's hand.

Dr Potter quickly began the ultrasound. He informed them that the triplets were progressing well and that if she took the recommended vitamins and ate and drank regularly that she would be able to feel somewhat fresh, and the babies properly nourished.

Meredith nodded and took in everything that he told them. Alex made a point of taking down notes. He wanted to be superman. Meredith was sure if it ever came to him having to deliver their babies he would know exactly how and have all the stuff ready to go 'just in case.

Meredith and Alex reported back to her father about how her check up went. They did so quickly because they then needed to change and get ready to catch up with Bailey so they could begin their shift.

Alex stood and walked to get the door so they could go. He watched Meredith falter, but didn't say anything. He could sense that she wanted a moment with her father, so he promptly stepped outside to give them just that.

"Dad" Meredith looked at him carefully. "Today Dr Potter, well he called me Mrs Karev" she started, knowing that she had his full attention.

Richard took off his glasses and rubbed a hand over his face.

"It was the first time since my honeymoon that i've been called a Karev." she told him. "And it felt good, anyway" she continued. "I was thinking, well maybe, i could permanently become a Karev. Dr Meredith Karev. It will stop the others from speculating and might get a certain someone to see that i am happily married to the love of my life."

Richard leant back in his chair. "Does Alex know about this?" he asked.

Meredith shook her head. "I was hoping to surprise him." she said with a smile.


"You do realise that once its changed i won't be letting you change it again." Richard stated clearly.

"I don't intend on changing it again. i am only now realising that i haven't fully embraced married life." she told him.

"Ok, i will send out the memo once i get your badge made up. But you will be grey Karev, so not to confuse anyone." Richard finalised.

"Thanks dad" she said with a big smile. "That really just made my day."
