2 years later:
Since Sally Elizabeth was born I wanted to still skate and be a doctor but my passion was both. Roger thinks I am crazy saying that being a skater, and doctor is ridiculous, but I was a excellent skater before he got me into our situation we probably wouldn't be married if he didn't get me pregnant with the triplets because I wanted to skate and be a doctor but we got married because I didn't want to be like my brother who had a baby out of wedlock. Today I did something that I know will probably end my marriage but this is my shot. My parents don't even know that i quit being a doctor, which i'm afraid will destroy our relationship but I myself have to follow my dreams even though I was being a neurosurgeon but it really wasn't what was making me happy.
"Hi Momma how was work today?" asked Luke. "Well good I quit my job today." I said . "You what does daddy know because you are going to be in so much trouble." Gail said. "No Gail daddy doesn't know, and since when did you get so smart being a 8 year old little girl?" I asked. "Oh Momma your busy most of the time to notice, but now that you aren't you can spend time with us." Luke, Leia, and Gail said excitedly. "Oh you kids are so cute but mommy is going to chase her dreams of being an gold medal ice skater." I said.
When we got to my parent's house they weren't home which was an opportunity to drag out the old home videos to show my children that I wasn't always a doctor of the brain. Some of the home videos were weird though. The one that Luke saw said "Bailey's first cookie" I thought it was weird to have a video of my big brother enjoying his first cookie but my parents enjoyed taking videos of us kids. "Hey Mommy look at this one it says Ellis and Lexie's first birthday." Leia pointed out. "Oh we have to watch this mommy I want to see it." Luke and Gail begged. "Okay children but please don't laugh at mommy because I probably did something silly." I said.
As we were watching the video I saw mommy holding a very small Hannah while she is trying to get me to smush cake in my face like Lexie. I did but I was the one who wanted to stay clean that's how mom and dad could tell us apart. One video that Luke found was The Triplet's birth. "Mom why does grammy and grampa have a video of us coming out of you." asked the triplets. "Umm I don't know I was in alot of pain and on my 21st birthday so I don't remember it so why don't we watch it." I said. We watched the video and when mom came in she asked me why I was watching a Mcnasty video with my children it wasn't until she saw that it was the video of my children.
"So Ellis what did you do today." asked mom. "Well I quit Grey Sloan Memorial" I said with pride. "YOU WHAT ELLIS MARIE SHEPHERD why on earth did you do that I thought you liked your job." my mom said. "I did but I want to chase my dreams of being a ice skater that goes to the olympics." I said. "Ellis what on earth are you thinking." asked my mom. "Well I was heading to the Olympics nearly 9 years ago but I got pregnant and couldn't compete which made me upset because I really wanted to skate and be someone famous in sports know world wide and not locally, I could even use Hannah's newest design for figure skating dresses which can promote her business oh by the way how is Hannah?" I asked. "Well last time I talked her fashion line in New York was doing good, Donald took Rachel, Dawn to the aquarium, that was about a week ago." my mom said.
It is lonely without my sister around but I am happy for her, since she returned from Paris a year ago Rachel has since moved to New York with her parents and baby sister that Hannah was pregnant with the same time as i was with Sally, as she thought she had miscarried the baby but it turns out Dawn was a twin and that Dawn was a happy and healthy baby. Nobody knew about Dawn's existence until we all went to Paris to visit her. I knew that my mom wasn't a fan of my choice but being a neurosurgeon, and a mother was hard because I am finding it harder to connect with my older children because I am not around but being a skater I can be around them more so that we can form a bond. My mom didn't look like a fan of my choice neither did my father or even my sisters but this is my choice. Bailey and Luke were supportive of the choice because they were the ones who always watched me skate.
Of course Luke is afraid of losing me after he lost his wife several months ago leaving him behind with Samantha his year old daughter. I feel bad for Luke as he is a single father now. I couldn't imagine being a single parent raising 4 kids is hard enough with two parents. Of course I love each and everyone of my kids but sometimes I wish I could have given Luke a baby brother but Roger is quite content with our daughters and Luke. I now know what Bailey went through wanting a little brother when all mom and dad had between Bailey and Luke were three girls. When I took the children home and told Roger about my choice he told me to get out and take our children because he wasn't going to stay with a wife who would rather skate than be a doctor. I tried to tell him that I wanted to get to know our children but he just refused to let me talk to him. I grabbed what things I could for my children, and my clothing and we went to my parent's house.
I woke up at 2:30 am with pains in my stomach. Of course when I was working in the hospital I could get everything, and with triplets in elementary school I get everything but this was a different kind of stomach pain. It's like a stomach pain that I had when I was in labor with the triplets as I couldn't remember what was going on when I had Sally. I decided to get dressed, and take the kids with me to the hospital. When we got to the hospital Roger was the on call nurse. I had no idea he was a nurse and when he became a nurse at the hospital.
"Ellis what are you doing here at this time of night with our children." Roger asked. "Well for your information I have severe stomach pains and I know it's not my appendix I had it taken out years ago," I said. "Okay i'll get a doctor here to look at you, just please don't mention you quit your job, and I'll be back to talk to you." Roger said.
When the doctor came in I was surprised to see my cousin Olivia being my doctor. Olivia is a OBGYN so I was confused with what was going on because I thought it was a standard stomach ache until she said. "Well Ellis congratulations I didn't know you were pregnant and about to have baby." Olivia said. "WHAT no that's not possible." I said. "Well it looks like this one wants to meet you i'll get Roger and you can talk about what is going to happen." Olivia said. "Roger did you happen to hear what is going on?" I asked. "Yes I did i'm sorry for what I said if only I knew what was going on." Roger said.
I was scared but also excited about three hours after feeling the pain I started to push after 30 minutes Roger and I welcomed a baby boy. We found out that he was healthy and decided to name him Stewie Kevin Shepherd. We thought that Stewie was a perfect name for our surprise son. When the family found out about Stewie they were shocked. I decided that I will skate but I will also still be a doctor but cut down my hours so that I can be with my children. I had my husband on my side again and we were going to reset what we had said the night before. Stewie saved our marriage and our family. I'm glad I had him but I was also surprised that I was Pregnant and didn't know it but it's not uncommon in our family I know that Stewie is our special boy and that he will be our cutie pie. When Luke met his brother he was surprised and was grateful for a brother. With 5 kids life is going to be a challenge but also a joy now that we have our family.
A/N: I was going to continue with the last idea but I wanted to create something different. Sorry if it has taken a long time I've had writers block, and wanted to just free write my own story and while I was writing my story is when I got the idea for this. I also have another TV Show fiction that I am currently writing but I am busy lately due to college work. hope you guys liked it
