Chapter 2: A busy morning.
Since I found out about my baby I have been putting in more hours at the hospital because I know that in 6 short months I won't be able to work. My children aren't really excited for the baby but Derek and I really don't care what they think because we will love this child no matter what. This morning when I woke up I vomited like I normally do when I'm expecting a baby. While I was doing that I smelt bacon. I have been having this thing for bacon but nobody cooks it and I normally end up buying it at work. "Good Morning Honey how are you feeling?" asked Derek. "Oh I'm fine did you cook me that bacon?" I asked. "Meredith I just got out of the children's shower because you were in the bathroom so I don't know who cooked it." Derek said to me. It must have been one of the kids but I'm afraid of which one did because Luke tried to help me make pizza a month ago and burned his hand with the oven mitt and ended up in the ER. Luckily Derek and I got new oven mitts after that incident because I felt awful because our children are trying to show independence by cooking, cleaning, and even walking our puppy Dolly. When Hannah cooks it tends to be a mess in the kitchen, Amelia tends to leave eggs and stuff on the counter to spoil when she is cooking with her older siblings, Bailey is usually doing his homework in the morning if he didn't do it the night before, Lexie tends to burn food, and Ellis normally is the one who likes to make cookies, and cakes, but that leaves Zola who normally sleeps until 6:30.
When I got down stairs I found out that Zola, Bailey, Lexie, Ellis, Hannah, Luke, and Amelia made breakfast for everyone. "Mamma I made muffins with Ellis and didn't burn myself." Luke said excitedly. "That's good baby." I told my son. "Mom I'm stopping at the store after school is there anything you need?" asked Zola. "Not that I can think of if I need something I can send you a text or dad can." I told her. I can't believe that Zola is growing up so much. I can't believe that she is going to be graduating high school this year and will be starting college next fall while we have Baby Shepherd to take care of. I hope we have another boy because we have many girls and another boy would be nice so Luke wouldn't have to get rid of some of his toys. When I was eating breakfast Derek reminded me that we had a board meeting this morning and that we needed to hurry. I didn't want to go because I knew it was going to be about the normal new policies that we go through every year.
"Okay kids kiss Mamma goodbye I have to go to work." I told my kids. "Okay Mamma." The children said in unison. I love them even when they drive me crazy with the I need this and that I'm glad Zola has her license so I can meet the children at their events when I get off from work Bailey has been studying for his but it busy with soccer and basketball season coming up. I thought one of my boys would like football but they don't. "Mamma I have a field trip today did you get a lunch for Amelia and I?" Luke asked. "That's today? Where are you guys going anyways?" I asked him. "To the zoo to discover the different types of animals we can find on a safari." Amelia said. "Hey mom today is career day where we explore places for work and my class chose the hospital." Said Lexie and Ellis. "Oh Yeah mom my class also chose the hospital for prospective learning of the brain and mapping the brain." Zola said. "My class will be there as well because we are exploring bones in my class." Bailey said.
I was surprised that my children were going to be going to the hospital for learning purposes. I know that they are excited to learn about all the things in the hospital I just hope that one of them aren't just doing this to say that they are going to be a doctor when they don't really want to be. As I headed out of the door Derek got a phone call from Owen it was an emergency with Amelia and we had to hurry to find out what was going on. When we got to the house the ambulance was there and nobody knew what was going on until she got on the bed and that's when they found out that she was pregnant and didn't know it as she was in labor. When she got to the hospital she had a baby boy in her arms that Arizona took to check to see if he was going to make it. It turns out that Amelia was 36 week along and didn't know it. The last time I saw that was when Derek returned to me from DC 14 years ago. Now I was an aunt to a baby that we didn't even know was coming. Amelia and Owen were blessed with their son and decided to name him Philp Alex Hunt. It has been a busy morning I guess that's what the day intended on as I am already pooped out and it's not even 8:30 yet. Well that's what happens when you're in your 50s and pregnant. Derek tells me that we aren't spring chickens anymore so we have to slow down. I'm not ready to slow down I'm not 65 yet and neither is Derek. We might however be worn down when baby Shepherd arrives because we are up in age but on the bright side of things is that we can get the senior discount when we go to the movies, or dinner when the baby is like 5.
Welcome to the world:
Philp Alex Hunt.
A/N: so here is chapter 2 sorry if its corny but I thought it would fit the rest of the story.
