Three and a half months later…
"I hate you." Meredith hissed.
"You hate me?" He laughed putting down his stuff. "Why do you hate me?"
He said starting to walk over.
"Because you're making me take maternity leave." She pouted.
"You're due in two weeks and you go to go today."
"You're watching me like a hawk." She stuck out her tongue out at him, but continued to pout. He came and sat next to her.
"I'm sorry."
"I don't forgive you." She said looking into his eyes. He leaned over and kissed her. She didn't pull away, but he started to push her back further on the couch.
"Don't forgive me huh?"
"Just kiss me." She said pulling his lips back down to hers. Minutes later, the door open and Alex walks in. He made a face as they pulled apart sitting up. Meredith pulled her shirt down.
"I need my own place." He mumbled on his way to the kitchen. Meredith and Mark bust into laughter once he disappeared into the kitchen totally.
"So how was your last day?" He asked.
"Hectic. Long." She said trying to lift herself from the couch. "Help me." She pouted at him. He laughed and stood up helping her up. "Thank you." She kissed his cheek.

That night…
Meredith awoke as a sharp pain stabbed her stomach. Mark's arm was around her waist and he was lightly snore into her hair. She rubbed her stomach rolling back onto her side when she noticed her pajama pants were went. Her face scrunched up with confusion as she gently kicked the comforter back and looked down to see her pants and surrounding bed wet. She gasped in realization almost wanting to scream in shock. Instead she sat up.
"Mark!" He didn't wake up. "Mark!" She yelled a little louder.
"Huh? Huh? What?" He said open his eyes letting them adjust to the darkness. "What's wrong, Babe?" His eyes fell shut again.
"My water broke." His eyes popped back open and he sprung up.
"What?"
"My water broke like all over my leg." She said trying to get up. "Help me." He quickly got up and helped her to her feet. "Go wake Alex." He nodded and hurried out as Meredith began to change.
He threw the door opened to Alex's room and turned on the light. "Kerev." He said loudly. Alex jumped.
"Dude, I'm sleeping. Turn off the fucking light and get out."
"Meredith's water broke."
"Crap." He said kicking the covers back.

Alex drove to the hospital with Meredith and Mark in the back seat. Meredith was crying about it being too early but they knew it was just the hormones. They got there and Alex rushed in getting a wheelchair. Mark wheeled her in. They had paged Addison on the way. She was on her way. The nurses put her in a room and she changed into a hospital gown. Alex went off to call everyone else.
About ten minutes later, Addison showed up.
"Hey." She smiled at them as she walked in.
"Hey." Meredith smiled back.
"I'm going to check how far you are." She nodded as Meredith pushed the gown back. "You look to be five cm along. Half way there."
