Thanksgiving Part 1
The bags of Izzie, Alex, Cristina, Burke, Addison, Mark, George, Tucker, Bailey, and William have been packed. They are in the airport in Seattle nervously waiting to see Meredith again. The plane was delayed but due to leave in an hour. They were arriving on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. They planned to call Meredith on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and tell her they just happened to be in Hershey and wanted to meet up with her the next day.
"Are you sure it is a good idea to just show up?" George asked the group yet again.
"Yeah I agree with George we should call Meredith so she can make reservations or buy enough food." Bailey said. "And you know she doesn't like surprises."
"This is a good surprise so Bambi shut it we are going to keep it a surprise." Cristina said Burke gave her a disapproving look for calling George Bambi and she just glared right back at him. They were still fighting from the breaking of there team.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Alex said. He was going to give Meredith a call and tell her the plane is delayed and to keep Cristina and Burke away from each other on Thanksgiving.

Meredith and Derek were building the baby crib they had bought. The room had been professionally painted pink with purple and blue butterflies. They wanted it finished for all there friends and family to see on Thanksgiving and neither had time with there demanding jobs. The rocker she had picked out was already put together which she was sitting in. It had a pink and purple striped cushion and everything. They bought clothes and things for the changing table. Meredith knew she was taking more hours after the holidays before going on maternity leave and wanted it all ready. Derek had picked out the stroller and high chair with her help. He was really getting into the whole father thing. They were talking classes together to prepare for the birth and the baby. Practically the only thing they needed for their little girl was a name. Meredith was watching Derek trying to read the directions to the crib when her cell phone rang it was Alex.
"Hey Alex are you in Hershey already." Meredith asked nervous they would want to see her before Thanksgiving.
"No we are still in Seattle. The plane is delayed an hour. Are you okay?" Alex was concerned he cared more about her than any women besides Izzie.
"Yes I just don't want them to see me before Thanksgiving. I want the news to be special even my mother will be there."
"I will see what I can do." He was relieved that she and the baby were ok. "How is the baby?"
"Kicking like crazy and really health." Meredith smiled whenever she talked about the baby to anyone. "So we got reservations at the Circular Dinning Room at Hotel Hershey. I will meet everyone there. When you call make sure you call and then I will tell you and say I am really busy at the moment until Thanksgiving."
"Ok great idea. I better go before they think I fell into the toilet. See you soon Mer. Tell my niece or nephew that I love it." Alex smiled at that. He didn't have any siblings so this was the closest thing to a niece or nephew.
"Yeah it loves you to. See you soon Alex. I will be expecting your call when you arrive in Harrisburg." She hung up the phone and turned to Derek giving him her best smile.
"Derek I have an idea."
"About what." He was a brain surgeon who couldn't build a crib and it was frustrating him why did the directions have to be in French. He didn't know that Meredith hid the other directions until he admits that he needs them and begs for them.
"I think Alex should be the baby's godfather. He has been there for me as a friend since I told him and he didn't tell anyone. About you or the baby and he warned me they were coming.' She smiled he didn't really have anyone he was greatly concedering for the godfather. The godmother was going to be the hardest choice do they ask his sister Hannah, who Meredith quickly has become friends with, or Cristina or Izzie. They were going to have to put some serious thought into the decision.
"That sounds good to me. He is always happy to hear about the baby when he calls. Is there any news about their arrival?"
"They are still in Seattle the plane was delayed an hour. He will call when they arrive. I also told him to be the one to call when they mention they are here because I can't lie and I don't want to see them until Thanksgiving." She gives him a look and then frowns. "Crap your family is staying at Hotel Hershey too."
"Oh no we can keep them away most of the day. We are both off. I would rather stay in bed with you but if it keeps us a secret then I can suffer."
"I would rather spend the day in bed with you to."

Ellis Grey was on her way to Hershey along with her friend Richard Webber, who everyone still referred to as chief. Their plan had landed an hour ago and they were on the way to Meredith's house. Ellis still didn't know about Derek or the baby but she was going to get the surprise of her life. The car pulled up outside the house and they waited to go in. Ellis Grey was never scared but today she was afraid of her daughter's reaction to her and what her news was.
"Ellis we have to go to the door sooner or later." Richard said comfortingly he knew how much improving the relationship with her daughter meant to her.
"Yeah I guess I am afraid of the unknown which is unusual I usually take control of a situation." She looks deep in thought. She thinks about Meredith when she caught her doing things she shouldn't have done and wasn't even mad at her. She hoped Meredith thought she cared now.
"This isn't a surgery. This is your life. You can't have another surgeon help you with. No amount of suction will fix it just talking and trying." He told her sincerely. They had been an on again off again affair for years even when Meredith was an intern. Now he finally left his wife and was with her. "You just have to have courage."
"I am ready." They walked up to the door hand and hand. They stood there for ten minutes before she rang the door bell and waited for Meredith to answer.

Meredith and Derek had barely made it to their room from the baby's room. His hands were all over her on the way there. She liked sex more now that she was pregnant then when she wasn't. They lost half their clothes in the hallway. They were in their bedroom when Derek heard something.
"Mer"
"Umm…yeah don't stop."
"Did you hear the door bell?" He asked stopping. She looked at him annoyed.
"Ignore the door bell they will go away. Pay attention to me please." She gave him her best face and he ignored the door bell. The door bell rang again ten minutes later.
"If that is your family they are uninvited to Thanksgiving dinner." Meredith said annoyed. "The delivery person better have something good unless you are expecting someone because I am not.'
"No Mer we were busy building something until you stopped me to do other things." He gave her the McDreamy smile and she almost wanted to forget about the door bell.
"I will be right back." She picked up his shirt and threw it on her body along with scrub pants.

Meredith walked down the stairs and to the front door. When she answered the door she didn't say a word. She just stood there nothing but his shirt, her pants, and a rosy red blush on her face. At the door was her mother and her old boss. They both saw her as a baby and now unexpectedly half naked at her front door. When Meredith didn't come right back Derek put his boxers on and walked down stairs.
Before he saw who was at the door he called. "Mer come back to bed. We don't need anything." When he got there he saw for the second time in his life Ellis Grey, who he met at a convention once before he knew Meredith, and Chief Webber, who was his old boss and resident. Meredith turned to him and turned a deeper shade of red.
"Um…Derek and I are going to get dressed. Why don't you sit in the family room and wait for us.' She quickly bolted up the stairs never looking back. He walked slowly behind her not wanting to go back down stairs.

They got upstairs and got dressed quickly. They couldn't pretend they weren't having sex from the way they looked. Now her mother and ex-boss both knew what they were doing and why they didn't answer the door. Neither of them noticed she was pregnant though.
"Derek help me make the bed and put on some clean clothes." Meredith always gets nervous when her mother is around. She wants to be perfect.
"Ok calm down it is not good for the baby." He was embarrassed but it could have been worse Richard could still have been there boss.
"Okay I will but now they know. I just like when it was are little secret."
"Yeah me to." He smiled and helped her straighten up their bedroom.
More Thanksgiving coming later. They have to try to keep the Shepherds away from their Seattle friends before Thanksgiving. Now her mother and the Chief know, but only about Derek.
