Chapter 3:
What would you do for the one you loved would you support them, would you stand by them, would walk away?
Lately I have been recovering from my car crash I recently discovered I'm going to be a father of a new baby, and uncle to both Amelia, and Christina's babies. My life is full of surprises and I can't wait to see what the universe throws at me know. This morning is Meredith's first ultrasound and I'm excited to be with her and I can't wait to hear the baby's heat beat. "Daddy can I go with you and mommy to the ice-cream store later" asked Zola. "Zo Zo I think we will have to discuss it after mommy's doctor's appointment" explained Meredith. "Derek are you ready we go to go" as Meredith yelled at me. "I'll be ready in a few minutes Bailey is taking a doodle on the toilet and not his potty chair" I explained.
Meredith was eager to go because she knew that she was late for her first ultrasound like 4 weeks late as she is 14 weeks pregnant. She has been concerned for me as I am recovering still from my accident but I think she needs to let that go because I'm fine and I'm doing great. I am worried about this baby's health as she has been worried about me more than our precious miracle that almost didn't have a father. The ride to the appointment was scary because Zola kept asking where we were going and why there aunt was with them. Going into the doctor's office was scary and I didn't know what to say when the doctor asked me how I was. How did he know about my accident, how did he know Meredith, was he the doctor that explained I was alive to Meredith.
As the doctor began to ultrasound I heard the heartbeat which was strong and steady. "Well Dr. Grey everything checks out you baby is doing great I would like to see back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and if you want to know the sex at that time I can let you know" explained Dr. Johnson. I was relived and was happy to think that our baby girl or boy is healthy and growing at the pace that it should. Meredith isn't scared of losing this baby because she already carried Bailey who was a miracle to begin with. I enjoy every moment I have with my son but I'm over thrilled with excitement with the new baby on the way.
Later that night when we went to bed Meredith wanted to discuss names for our child if it were to be a boy or a girl. Meredith chose Alexander Louis Grey Shepherd for a boy I liked Nathan William Grey Shepherd for a boy. For a girl Meredith didn't have any names, while I thought that Ellis Carolyn Grey Shepherd would be the perfect name for a baby girl as she would be named after her grandmothers. Meredith loved the name I had for a girl she also deiced that Nathan would be a perfect name for a baby boy. I liked Nathan because it was my father's name I never got to know my father that well because I was 7 when he died. I know Meredith wouldn't want to name our son after her worthless father because he hasn't even met Zola our adoptive daughter, and Bailey our biological son. Zola and Bailey like the idea of having a baby brother or sister because it meant that they would have a fun time growing up together. I was pleased that my children love each other I wish I could get along with my sisters Nancy, Kathleen, and Liz like that. The only sister I get along with is Amelia who lives with us.
