"So Mum, guys, this is Mer's sister Katie." Mark introduced.
They all smiled and greeted her.
"Hey i hope you don't mind but i was going to head out shopping with Katie, unless you girls want to join us?" Meredith spoke hesitantly.
"I'm up for shopping" Kathleen spouted.
"Oh me too" Nancy agreed.
"The guys can look after the kids" Natalie added.
"I'm in" Marissa stood grabbing her bag.
"Gees Mer, you should have bought the minivan already." Katie stirred.
Meredith rolled her eyes, while Audrey Shepherd looked confused.
"I guess now is as good a time as any." Meredith gestured to Mark.
"Oh right" he said with a smirk.
Mark moved closer to Meredith. He slipped his arm around her waist. "Mer and i, well, she's pregnant."
"Sweet" Marissa answered, while the others cheered excitedly.
"So we are going to
have a new addition." Audrey noted.
"Oh ummmm yeah, not a new addition , more than 1." Mark spoke quietly.
"Multiples?" Nancy asked.
"Yep" Meredith replied.
"Quints" Mark continued, "As in half of a baseball team."
There was a collective 'wow'
"Ok no more gushing." Meredith cut in. "I'm shopping and if i know Addie, she will already be sending Pete around."
"Addie?" Audrey asked.
"Yeah, our cousin" Katie replied.
"Yes, Addison married our cousin Peter." Meredith confirmed.
"and you guys shop together?" Kathleen asked.
"These days we do. A lot has changed." she noted before reaching for her hand bag. "I'll see you when i get back." Meredith told Mark before giving him a quick kiss. "Dont kill the kids."
The rest of the women including Audrey followed Meredith out of the house and to 2 cars. All were ready for their shopping mission.
