An: Just a filler chapter. Do the rest of you want me to continue this story even further? Is there anywhere else to go with this? I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who reviewed this and continues to review it every time there is a new chapter...Grey's fans rock! So, what do you want me to do?
With the arrival of the twins the Shepherd household became very, very busy. Both Derek and Meredith, along with young Luke, were tired all the time. It seemed that no one would get a peaceful nights sleep ever again. But it was well worth the night feedings, the constant tiredness and the interrupted schedules, just to see the way that Georgia and Noah grew and changed. Both blond haired and blue eyed, the Shepherd twins were a constant topic of discussion and Luke, especially, loved to brag about the new things that they were doing and learning----accept for the times that one of them would drool on a favorite toy or chew on big brother's sooky blanket (affectionately dubbed 'blankie'.) By the time they were eight months old, both Georgia and Noah were crawling around everything and everyone, including their brother. Derek and Meredith loved to watch their three children together, both in awe that they had such an amazing life together, always remembering that they were truly blessed to have what they had.
With almost three years of marriage under their belt, the happy couple enjoyed every minute that they spent together; They loved their children, their home and they both still enjoyed their jobs—or at least Derek did. Meredith had gotten a new job. A permanent one: After the birth of the twins she had decided that she would rather be a stay at home mom. She had always wished that her own mother had paid more attention to her growing up and had been sadly disappointed. Ellis Grey had never been much of a home-maker or a confidant. Meredith vowed to be all of that and more. Her dreams of being a doctor never fully dissipated but she never once regretted giving up her residency. Derek always told her that she could return whenever she wanted. However, there were times that she missed living in the house with George and Izzy; Missed the three of them lying in bed together discussing their problems, their hopes and their dreams. The friendships had never altered in its entirety, only changed.
George and Callie were doing well and had recently announced that Amelia was going to have a brother or a sister come fall. They still had their condo but were putting in a bid on a home a little outside of the city. They wanted their kids to have a backyard to play in with trees and a sandbox and none of that was possible where they were now. Amelia was healthy and strong and quite a beauty with her long black hair that reached the middle of her back. She had her father's blue eyes and her mother's sassy personality. Her third birthday was coming up and George and Callie had decided to take her to Disney Land to celebrate. It made both Meredith and Izzy happy to see how far their friend had come in his role of husband and father.
Preston and Cristina had recently moved to Tai Land to help out with the poor and sick people of Chang Mai. They had seen a documentary about the conditions that a lot of people lived in. Appalled, after a minimal of consideration, wrote to the hospital to see if they were needed. Within a week they had both accepted positions in a small hospital. It was less money, but both felt that they had found their true calling. As of late, Meredith had received a letter from Cristina with a few pictures of she and Preston with some village children. Cristina had a smile a mile wide pasted on her now darker complexion as she hugged her husband and both looked truly happy.
Life for everyone had changed so drastically that most days being an intern at Seattle Grace seemed like a dream. But everyone was happy and doing well. Izzy and Denny were still in Meredith's house, any day now, expecting their own bundle of joy.
