SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED FOR A WHILE – HAVE BEEN AWAY AND GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH MY GIRL.

It had been a week since their ultrasound and the smile was still yet to fade from Dereks face. It was music to his ears when Macca had said that there baby was looking healthy and coming along really well. It was great to know that Merediths bp hadnt shot up with the family dramas and with Christmas only days away he had big plans for Meredith.

They had agreed to have one last Christmas with everyone at teh old house and that they would then move into their new house bringing in the new year with a big bash.

"Your still looking Goofy." Mark noted as he stood next to Derek at the bar.

"Im allowed to Mark, i'm imagining taking my gorgeous little boy fishing and camping. Teaching him how to play catch and kicking a ball around with him." he beamed. "Then im imagining doing all those things with my little girl, but also spoiling her because she will be my lttle princes with Mers giggle."

Mark shook his head. "I still cant believe it." he told Derek. "How could she have gone undetected for so long? Was Macca blind or something?"

Derek shrugged, "apparently it was about the way she was sitting. She 

was always hiding behing our little fella. Macca thinks she is shy, but i just say he was just protecting his little sister."

"One if each" Mark grinned "im going to have fun with my niece and nephew. Or is it my Godson or Goddaughter?"

"You will stay away from my children Mark, you'd corrupt them. Remember i knew what you were like as a child." Derek warned.

"They'll love me. Come on, you know you love me." Mark joked.

Derek rolled his eyes "What ever mark."

Derek grabbed his drinks off the bar and returned to where all their group was gathered.

"Hey guys, i better get going. I have a date." Mark told them.

"You be careful not to hurt my cousin Mark or you wont live long enough to see your niece and nephew born." Meredith warned him as she rubbed her belly.

"Mer you couldnt hurt me" Mark laughed.

"No but my uncle and my daddy will." Meredith stated seriously.

Mark raised his eyebrows. "I can take two old men." he joked.

"You dont know these guys well enough to judge them." she laughed 

"believe me"

Mark waved Goodbye to the group and left. "Seriously he hasnt seen my uncle angry. Ders seen him being protective and that was bad enough." Meredith told them.

"I agree" Derek nodded and raised his glass. "To surviving families." he toasted.

Everyone laughed, but Derek grimaced. He was yet to tel Meredith how hos whole family were planning to arrive in 2 days. They were angry and disappointed with Derek because they were yet to meet Meredith and only just found out that she was pregnant with his children.

This Christmas was going to be explosive.
