She watched as Arizona slowly picked her son up, the baby letting out a small cry in her arms quickly escalating into a full blown wail as Arizona placed the infant into her waiting arms.

"Hey buddy, you're finally here." Meredith whispered as she held her son close to her, taking in his newborn scent. She couldn't help the tears that fell, out of relief. "You're okay, we're okay." She whispered, nudging the side of his head with her nose as he settled into quiet whimpers.

"This is the calmest he's been." Arizona smiled watching as the baby nestled closer into Meredith as he tried to clutch onto her gown. "He's been looking for you."

Meredith smiled, staring down at her son taking in all of his features. He looked so much like her except for the hair. It was all too obvious where he got that from.

"I can't thank you enough." Meredith whispered.

"I'm just glad everything finally worked out for you guys." Arizona smiled back.

Meredith sighed. "I'm just hoping Derek wakes up soon."

"He will, he would never leave you or his son. Speaking of, does he have a name yet?"

Meredith sighed. "Nothing official yet, I wanna talk to Derek before I decide on anything."

Arizona smiled. "Sounds like a good plan. I'll leave you guys alone. Call if you need anything." Arizona left the room as Meredith leaned back against the pillow, laying her son on her chest so his head was right next to hers resting against her shoulder.

"I'm so glad you're here." she whispered. "I love you so much. We're gonna be okay baby, I promise you." She put the head of the bed down slightly and slid the baby down onto her chest, getting them both settled as she fell into a light sleep.

"Meredith," she heard her name be called. Slowly she opened her eyes, seeing Cristina standing beside the bed.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Derek's awake, he's asking for you." Meredith smiled for a minute before it faded.

"Um, am I able to see him? I mean...can I move?"

"If I help you, we can try and get you into a wheelchair. I think he needs to see you two are alright for himself."

Meredith smiles, nodding. "I need to see that he's okay, too." She waited as Cristina went and got the wheelchair, still exhausted but happy to finally be seeing Derek.

"Can you put him in the crib while you help me?" Meredith asked. Cristina gently picked the baby up as he fussed from being moved. She got the wheelchair as close to the bed as she possibly could before helping Meredith stand up.

"Oh God, this feels weird." Meredith exclaimed.

"Yeah, luckily you got some pretty good drugs going into you otherwise you would be in a world of hurt." Cristina chuckled. She placed a pillow behind Meredith's back before retrieving the baby, placing him back in Meredith's arms.

They made the journey, passing room after room before finally stopping at one. Cristina pulled the curtain back and Meredith couldn't have been happier to see Derek.

"Hey, you." She whispered as Cristina wheeled her right up to Derek's side before leaving them alone.

"Hey, how are you guys?" Derek asked as he looked at his wife and child.

"We're doing great." She replied, looking down at their son.

"I'm glad we made it." Derek whispered, relieved.

"Me too, I couldn't imagine leaving him alone. He's perfect." She smiled and looked up at Derek. "You wanna hold him?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah, just have to be careful." Gently, Meredith handed their son over, watching as Derek stared at him, she couldn't blame him. Their baby was perfect in every way.

"We came too close, Derek. Who knows what would have happened to him if we would have..." She couldn't finish, becoming overwhelmed with emotion.

Derek looked over seeing the tears streaming steadily down Meredith's face. He reached out, taking her hand into his.

"I know, but we're both fine. We made it, he's here and he's perfect." Derek reassured her.

"I know, it's just...the though of us almost leaving him alone hurts, Derek." Meredith said, her voice trembling.

Derek sighed, he understood. It hurt him too. He wanted so badly to take her into his arms but he couldn't. Before he could say anything she stood up, grabbing onto the bed for support as she quickly maneuvered herself to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Should you be doing that? You just had major surgery and almost died not too long ago." Derek reminded her.

"I don't care, I need you." She whispered, scooting up before laying down next to Derek, thanking God that the bed rail was up.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too, sweetheart." He placed the baby on his chest so he was touching the both of them. Meredith reached out and took his tiny hand into hers as the three of them fell into a deep sleep.
