CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: EVERYTHING DOESN'T ALWAYS GO TO PLAN
"Dinner was great" Meredith complimented as the pair relaxed in a nice hot bath. Meredith leant back against Mark's chest as he washed her back with a cloth. She couldn't believe how perfectly relaxed she felt being there in his arms. It felt like nothing had ever gone wrong between them. There had been moments in her life where she had thought she would never have the fairytale moment, but right then and there she could have sworn she was having one.
"That's okay, what are you thinking about?" Mark asked noticing how quiet his wife had gone as she relaxed into him.
"It's nothing" Meredith said softly watching the concerned look come over Mark's face. "Well I was thinking about something, I was just thinking how perfect all this is" Meredith said her eyes watering with tears once again.
"Aww baby I know but you really don't have to cry about this, you're happy, which makes me happy" he said moving her hair away from her neck and proceeding to kiss and suck at her neck.
"You think I wanna be a blubbering mess, it's these damn hormones" Meredith screeched at him.
"I know Mer, but just think in 9 weeks we will be holding another perfect baby and truthfully I can't wait" Mark said with a cheesy grin plastered on his face.
"Yeah me either, I had really given up on the idea of another baby but then I realised my period was late so I took the test and there it was. I had never been so happy in my life to see that tiny little pink plus sign" Meredith spoke. "I just wanted it to be the way we had talked about but I guess we prove that not everything always goes to plan" she continued as Mark hugged her tightly from behind.
"I just wish I hadn't been so stupid" Mark said softly he hadn't meant to bring it up again, they had promised it was in the past now.
"But in a way things worked out for the best, moving to Seattle has been the best thing, Matilda is happy to have Mom and Dad to dote on her, Addie and Derek adore her and even Cristina has taken a shining to Tilly, and she doesn't like kids… at all" Meredith rambled continually.
"What about you though? Are you happier here?" Mark asked noticing that she had only mentioned what had been best for their daughter.
"I wasn't for a long time, I put myself in a deep hole and I didn't want to get out, there was one stage where Addison thought I was hurting the baby, but then you showed up and although that was hard I am so glad that you found me" Meredith said with pure honest.
"I was miserable in New York without you, I worked a lot, I basically lived at the hospital because going back to that empty house knowing that you and Muffin weren't going to be there killed me, I just couldn't do it, I need you like a person needs oxygen" Mark said sincerely.
"I know. I think it might be time to got to bed, I am so tired Mark" Meredith said with a yawn as to prove her point.
"I agree, and the water is getting cold so you better get out" Mark said getting out of the bath and wrapping a towel around himself then proceeded to wrap Meredith up in a towel as she emerged from the water.
"Thank you for making this is a special anniversary, I should have known better than to think you had really forgotten" Meredith said as she snuggled against Mark getting warm in bed.
"I'm glad that you liked the surprise baby, I just wanted this to be special, soon we are going to have another child and we won't get time to do things like this but that is something I can't wait for" he said kissing her on the forehead before he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him as they slept.
Meredith awoke slowly after only a few hours of being asleep. Glancing at the clock beside her she could see that it was just going on for 2am. She rubbed her stomach hoping the feeling she was having would subside. She bolted upright and squealed as a sharp pain ripped through her abdomen.
Mark jolted awake hearing Meredith's squeal of pain. "Mer what's wrong is it the baby?" he asked quickly concerned for the welfare of both is unborn child and wife.
"Yeah, I think it's just Braxton's or the baby is moving around" Meredith said trying to remain calm.
"Are you sure everything is okay?" Mark asked cautiously not wanting to set off her hormones but he felt as though something wasn't quite right.
"No I'm not sure" Meredith said beginning to cry from the pain. "Oh god" she suddenly exclaimed.
"Meredith what's going on?" Mark said scared out of his mind.
"Mark we need to go right now, we need to go to the hospital I'm bleeding" she said jumping out of bed grabbing her robe and a towel.
"Okay quick let's go, I will page Addie to meet us at the hospital just hang in there okay" Mark ordered trying to stay calm and pretend he wasn't scared at the possibility they could be losing their baby.
"Oh god Mark, not the baby, I can't lose my baby" she cried as they sped along as fast as they could making sure they got to the hospital on time.
