Twenty minutes later…

The room was filled with people. Mark sat at the head of the bed gentle stroking Meredith's hand helping her recover from a contraction. Christina sat in the chair not far from the bed cradling a cup of coffee. Izzie was standing with George in the back of the room. Richard had come down from his office since he was working a late night shift. Bailey, who was on-call, had also popped in and out. Alex, who was acting as Meredith's personal slave since Mark wanted to stay with her, was running throughout the hospital getting ice chips or different washcloths.

The door opened forcing Izzie to step forward into George. Addison poked her head in.

"Whoa, this room filled up fast." She said stepping in and letting the door shut.

"You know, Mer, you could have had this baby at a normal time. You know office hours. It's four in the freaking morning." Christina said groggily.

"I'm so sorry I in convenience you. I'm the one pushing a bowling ball out of my vagina." She snapped glaring at her.

"Well at least we know your twins will be very popular." Addison said sitting on the stool near the end of the bed. "Now, I need to check how far you are if you want to…"

Meredith looked around. "It's not like everyone in this room hasn't seen me naked."

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Mark said. "Is there something going on between you, Yang, and Stevens?"

"Shut up, Sloan." Christina snapped standing up. "We'll wait outside."

The room soon was vacated of everyone but Addison, Mark, and Meredith. Addison pulled the blanket back.

"You look to be about six cm, now. That was quicker than I expected."

"Yeah, how great one cm," Meredith sighed.

"It's progress, Mer." Mark said kissing her head. She nodded adjusting herself on the bed as Addison covered her legs up.

"Picked names?" She asked sitting on the bed.

"Natalie Grace Sloan and Nicholas Joseph Sloan," Mark answered.

Addison smiled. "I really like those."

"Thank you." Meredith smiled back. Addison walked to the door and nodded at the others.

Soon the room was full again. Meredith smiled at everyone but her face turned sour quickly.

"You're having another contraction," Addison said walking over to the machine monitoring it. Meredith started to breath through it and her face turned red with pain. Mark let her squeeze his hand as he gently rubbed it with her other hand. Everybody else stood awkwardly waiting for it to pass. A soon as it did, Mark wiped her face with a wet cloth.

"We'll be in the waiting room." Christina said. Alex, George, and Richard nodded and headed out.

"But I want to stay and see the baby." Izzie whined.

"You can't." Christina said pushing her out of the door. She glanced back Meredith and Mark. They smiled at her as she shut the door.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Ice chips, please?" She asked.

"Here you go, Babe." He said handing her a cup putting a couple in her mouth.

"Thank you." She said taking his hand again letting her head fall to the side. "I love you."

"I love you too."
