DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GREY'S ANATOMY, I wish I did.

Derek spent the whole night with his hands on Meredith's abdomen. She felt so foolish for ever thinking that he didn't want a baby. It was so obvious in his eyes, in his touch, that he was completely in love with their child. Meredith woke up at four-thirty, opened her eyes and sighed. She didn't feel nauseous. She jumped out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to get ready. Then it hit her. She immediately rushed to the toilet. As she was leaned over, she felt Derek rub her back. She didn't even know he was awake.

Meredith: I hope this stops soon.

Derek: It should.

Meredith: I have medication for the nausea. It's in my night stand, on the the second shelf. In the back, behind the books. Can you get it, please?

Derek: Of course. (He comes back with the pills and a glass of water.) You look beautiful.

Meredith: I do not. I have vomit on my face, my hair is a mess...

Derek: You are always beautiful.

Meredith: What time to you have to be at the hospital?

Derek: I don't have anything scheduled. I have patients I need to check on later. Maybe you should stay home.

Meredith: Why, because I'm pregnant?

Derek: Well, yeah.

Meredith: You are too funny. I am fine. I will be pregnant for nine months if everything goes well. Do you want me to take off nine months from work? And then I'll have maternity leave. Shoot, I'll just take off a year.

Derek: Okay.

Meredith: I am an intern, Derek. I have to work. I can handle this.

Derek: I don't want you to strain yourself.

Meredith: (Rolls her eyes, and shakes her head.) Go back to bed.

Derek: I want to have breakfast with you.

Meredith: That's foolish. You're tired. I'll take a shower, and eat some oatmeal, then I'll go to the hospital. See, not that exciting. Seriously.

Derek: Fine. (He trudged back to bed.)

--------------------

Cristina: You're awfully damn happy.

Meredith: Yeah, and?

Alex: She got laid.

Cristina: Nope. You told him, didn't you? (Meredith just smiled.) What did he say?

Izzie: Told who what?

George: What's going on?

Meredith: Nothing. It's nothing important. (She started laughing uncontrollably, thinking back at Derek with his clothes on, in the bathtub.)

George: I think she's lost her mind.

Izzie: Seriously! What's going on?

Cristina: Meredith told Derek that she is...

Meredith: Going fishing. (She starts laughing.)

Cristina: Scuba diving in the river. (They laugh. The others look at them like they're insane.) Seriously. She told him she was sorry. That got in a fight.

Meredith: Or whatever.

Alex: You guys are on crack.

Meredith: At least we're pleasant, hard-working crack-whore crack addicts.

Izzie: Okay, then.

George: That was random. (Bailey walks in.)

Bailey: You are awfully happy for someone who who has the pit to look forward to. For a week, I remind you. There are some rectal exams that need to be done. Oh, and I think Debbie needs you to do dressings. So have fun, Dr. Shepherd. (Meredith's face drops and she walks away.)

Alex: Dude, what'd she do?

Bailey: Uh, Dr. Shepherd, come here.

Meredith: Yes?

Bailey: Do you mind telling the interns what you did? That way the won't make the same stupid-ass mistake.

Meredith: Um...

Bailey: She saw it fit to storm into the OR, and scream at an attending while he was in the middle of a patient's brain. Not to mention, we had a visiting doctor from New York in there. She lacked professionalism, on an unbelievable level.

Cristina: He's her husband.

Bailey: Oh, well, I guess that makes it okay, right?

Cristina: It makes it not so wrong.

Bailey: Well since you lack the common sense to shut your damn mouth, you can enjoy SCUT today.

Cristina: (Glares at Meredith.) But-

Bailey: No. It's a damn shame, too. George, you're with Burke today. He has a coronary bypass graph scheduled. Izzie, you are with Montgomery-Sloan, and Alex, Sloan needs you for a burn victim.

Cristina: That was wrong!

Bailey: I know. Now go!

Cristina: (Walks by Meredith.) At this moment...I hate you.

Meredith: I hate me too.

-----------------------

Derek walked into the hospital with the biggest grin on his face. The grin had been there since the night before. There was absolutely nothing that could make it go away. He was happy. He was a happy man, who was going to be a father. He rounded on his patients, and decided to go find Meredith.

Addison: You look happy.

Derek: I am the happiest man in the world. Do you know why?

Addison: I may be able to guess.

Derek: (He leans in and whispers.) I'm going to be a dad!

Addison: I know. Congratulations! (She hugs him.) I haven't seen you this happy since, well, since you met Meredith.

Derek: It's amazing. You have no idea how it feels until you experience it. There is a piece of she and I growing inside her, right now.

Addison: I'm so happy for you. She has an ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday.

Derek: We will be there. (He goes to walk away.) Oh, we haven't told anyone yet. So--

Addison: I won't say anything.

Derek: Thanks!

Addison: Congrats, again! (Derek walks away, passing Mark.)

Derek: Hello, Mark!

Mark: You okay?

Derek: I am fan-freaking-tastic! Have you seen Meredith?

Mark: Well, Karev said something about Bailey torturing her. So I'd imagine she's in the pit.

Derek: Thanks!

--------------------------

Meredith was busy doing charts. The pit was slow. Doctor Bailey pulled Cristina into an emergency surgery with her. So Meredith got stuck doing Cristina's fun jobs too. She was starting to get a little hungry and thought maybe she could sneak down and get some lunch. Derek walked up behind her, placing his hands on her stomach.

Derek: How is my family?

Meredith: We are fine. Enjoying our punishment.

Derek: Have you eaten yet?

Meredith: No, I was just getting ready to.

Derek: You you like to join me?

Meredith: Of course.

Derek: Well, lets go. How have you felt today?

Meredith: A little nauseous on and off. Otherwise, I'm okay.

Derek: Good. (They walk up to the lunch line.) I'm having a salad. You need some protein, and some fruit, and some vegetables, and--

Meredith: Derek! I know what I need. (She grabs her food and they sit down.) Besides, that's what vitamins are for.

Derek: My child is going to have the best. As long as she's in your stomach, she needs to be taken care of by you.

Meredith: She, huh?

Derek: Or he, I guess.

Meredith: I will take care of our child. Look, I got a ham sandwich, and an apple, and water.

Derek: But no vegetables... (She grabs a fork full of his salad, and shoves it in her mouth.)

Meredith: Happy?

Derek: Yes!

Meredith: So we have an appointment next Thursday with Addison. I'm sure everyone will start to figure things out. (Cristina walks up and sits down.)

Cristina: It's almost sickening.

Derek: What's that Yang?

Cristina: You both have baby written all over you.

Meredith: I can't help it. I'm happy.

Derek: She knows? (He seemed irritated.)

Meredith: Of course she does. Besides, she knew before I did.

Derek: Oh.

Cristina: Why else would she have been so bitchy. And you, are an idiot. You live with her, and it never dawned on you?

Derek: Well--

Meredith: So, as I was saying. I am not ready to tell everyone yet.

Derek: You told her!

Meredith: So anyway, I want to tell your mom. Both of us, in person. I want to go to New York and tell her. I will have to see if I can get some time off.

Derek: That is a great idea. I love you, Mer. (He kisses her.)

Cristina: Oh, gag me! (They both glare at her.)

-------------------------

Meredith: That was good. (She rolls over and lays on her back.)

Derek: We are always good. You are amazing.

Meredith: Just wait until the hormones surge. Then we will be phenomenal!

Derek: What time is the appointment?

Meredith: At eleven. I'm nervous. I'm really freaking nervous, Derek.

Derek: Everything will be fine.

Meredith: But what if it's not?

Derek: It will be, I promise.

Meredith: You shouldn't promise that. You have no control.

Derek: No, but I have faith. You need to eat some breakfast. I'm going to go make you some eggs.

Meredith: Okay. (Meredith lays there for a while, then goes to the kitchen. She laughs at the site of Derek. He was cooking breakfast and dancing, in his boxers.) You don't dance!

Derek: I dance when I'm happy. (He starts to sing.) 'Cause you're having my baby... (She starts to laugh, and he pulls her close, and they start dancing.) I love you.

Meredith: I love you too.

-----------------------------

Derek and Meredith laugh as they make their way up the stairwell. The last time they snuck this way, he had a broken nose, and she had a sprained ankle. Derek was getting antsy about telling everyone, but Meredith wanted to wait just a little longer. She knew no matter what, everyone would treat her differently. They finally made their way to the floor, and found themselves in an exam room waiting for Addison. Meredith was in an exam gown, and was sitting on the table.

Derek: Never has an exam gown looked so sexy.

Meredith: You are horrible.

Derek: You know, doctors are slow. I bet we could have a little fun before she gets in here.

Meredith: Absolutely not! (Addison walks in.)

Addison: Absolutely not, what?

Meredith: Derek, he wanted exam room sex.

Derek: I did not. I said I wanted to have some fun...

Addison: You two are horrible.

Meredith: Not me, him.

Addison: So, I am going to do a transvaginal ultrasound today. Since we aren't sure how far along you are, we will have a better change of seeing the baby this way. It may be a little uncomfortable.

Meredith: Okay.

Addison: Why don't you lay back, and put your feet in the stirrups. (Meredith does. Derek grabs her hand. He notes that it is sweaty. He can tell she is very nervous.)

Derek: It will be okay, Mer. (He turns to Addison.) She's nervous.

Addison: Everything will be fine, Meredith. I am just going to insert the probe now.

Derek: (He looks at it.) Ouch. (Meredith winces. Addison looks at the screen.)

Addison: There it is! (She points to the screen.) He or she is about the size of a kidney bean. (Meredith has tears running down her cheeks. Derek squeezes her hand.) I would say you are about 8 weeks 2 days. I don't see a heartbeat. (Meredith gets a panicked look on her face, and starts to hyperventilate.) Wait, no, there it is!

Derek: Mer, calm down.

Meredith: I--can't--not--not again.

Addison: It's right there, see it.

Meredith: (Sighs.) Yeah... It's amazing.

Derek: That's our baby! (He kisses her.)

Addison: We need to draw some blood, just to make sure everything is okay. I will leave you two alone for a few minutes. (She leaves.)

Derek: I can't believe it. That's our baby. God Mer. I love you so much. (HIs eyes are rimmed with tears.)

Meredith: I can't believe I'm going to be a mother.

Derek: You will be a great mother.

Meredith: You think?

Derek: I know.
