Chapter 6

They came with the coolers, waiting to take away his parts so they would be able to help others. One by one they removed them, the liver, kidneys, lungs and more. They finally got to his heart, taking it out with gentle care. Then he was gone.

They asked her if she wanted to see him before they took him down to the morgue. She nodded her head yes, not being able to say anything. She opened the door the OR. There was still someone in there, stitching him up. The nurse turned her head from what she was doing when she heard Meredith come in.

"Can I?"

The nurse silently stepped away from what she was doing and Meredith stitched him up.

"How is she?" Meredith asked, already worrying about her little baby girl.

"She's good," Christina told her smiling. "They're just cleaning her up and stuff."

"Alright."

"You should rest for a while Mer, it's gonna be a while before you can see her."

When Meredith woke up after resting all she wanted to do was see her little baby girl. When Izzie, Christina, and George couldn't stand her impatience anymore they finally convinced the nurses to bring her in.

"Are you ready Mer?" Izzie asked as she picked up the tiny baby from the cradle.

She nodded her head yes as Izzie handed the little pink bundle to her. She held her little baby gently, looking at her delicate features.

"Does she have a name?" George asked.

Meredith looked at her baby girl. Her and Derek's baby girl. "Emily," she said.

They both fell back on the bed, exhausted from a long day of work. Out of the blue Derek asked, "Do you want children?"

"What?" she said as her head jerked up from the surprising question.

"You know, like after we get married."

"I'm not sure, maybe. Why?"

"Just curious."

"Oh," Meredith said as the room fell quiet.

Deciding to break the silence, Derek spoke up again. "What would we name them?"

"Them? Now it's more than one?"

"I don't know." The room fell silent again.

"Well what would we name them?" Meredith asked, now suddenly curious.

"For a boy, I think I'd choose Ryan."

"I can live with that."

"And for a girl, Emily," he said, like he knew for certain there was going to someday be an Emily.
