I do not own GA

At 12 weeks pregnant, Meredith Grey officially had a baby bump. Before it just seemed to be a little pudgy, but now it was officially a bump. When Meredith went into work she walked to her locker and put on her scrubs. Izzie and Christina just laughed at her.

"What is so funny?" Meredith shouted angrily.

"Meredith, your jeans look a little tight around the belly area." Izzie said in the nicest tone possible.

"Listen, I can't help that I'm getting fat. All I know is that I wear scrubs for my job and I just have to get from point A to point B with the clothes I have." Meredith said as she slammed her bag into her locker.

"Mer, calm down. All we are saying is that in a few more weeks you are not going to be able to wear the same clothes you have now. You might also have to go up a size in scrubs." Christina informed her.

"Don't you think I know that? That I am going to be wearing maternity clothing soon. I'm married to a brain surgeon and I'm a surgeon so I'm not that stupid." Meredith shouted. George walked into the locker room to the sound of Meredith's yelling. He quickly looked for a way out, but knew he had to come in. "Who the hell do you guys think I am? A slutty cheerleader who got in a little bit of trouble?"

"Don't anger it Christina?" George joked.

Meredith was not amused and stormed out of the locker room. When she left the locker room the three let out a laugh.

"Do you think Derek realizes what he has on his hands?" George asked.

"I fear for him. They are just now nearing the end of her first trimester. She's going to go all psycho on him." Christina uttered.

Just then Derek walked into the locker room with a bagel and a bottled water. "Have you seen Meredith?"

"Sorry she stormed out two minutes ago. We brought up the topic of buying maternity clothing in a few weeks." Izzie said with regret.

"Please tell me you are joking." Derek begged, then he realized they were serious. "You're not joking. Oh no. I better go." Derek rushed out of the locker room only to make the trio break into laughter again.

When Derek finally found Meredith she was sitting on steps in the stairwell crying. He walked over to her and sat down. He offered her the bagel and she refused. "Come on Meredith. Just eat the bagel. You asked for it like three times this morning."

"Well am I asking for it now Dr. McBrainy?" She waited for his response. "Didn't think so."

"Meredith, I wish I could make you feel better. But I can't. You are growing a person inside of you, but this is only the beginning. If it makes you feel any better you are glowing. You look absolutely beautiful. I love you." Derek said.

Meredith burst into tears, "I love you too. I'm sorry."

"Babe, its okay. I understand." Derek consoled his wife. He then put his hand on her stomach. "You make for an adorable pregnant woman."

"Thank you." Meredith took the bagel out of his hand and took a bite. "Did you get cream cheese?"

Derek's face went pale, "No sorry. I forgot, if you want me to go back and.."

"No." Meredith interrupted, "I don't want you to. Besides I'm going to just get fatter, so why induce it."

Meredith put her head on Derek's shoulder until he had to leave to do surgery.

Four weeks later, Meredith was rearranging frames on an end table in her new home. Derek walked down the stairs humming an old song by The Clash.

He leaned over and kissed Meredith's neck. "So my darling I was thinking."

"You were thinking? What about?" Meredith asked as she continued to fix the frames.

"What room would you like to put this little baby we are having in?" Derek asked. He loved looking at her from the back. There was something about her that was breathtaking every time he saw her.

"Wow. I was not thinking about that. Well, I guess we should put the baby in the room directly across from ours. It's not too big, but there is a perfect amount of space." Meredith said as she turned around. "What do you think we should do to the nursery? How should we decorate the nursery?

Derek looked stunned that Meredith asked that question. "Well I don't know. Should we find out the sex first?"

"Yes, if you are alright with that. I want to know what we are having though." Meredith said with begging eyes.

"Alright, well I guess at our next appointment we are going to find out what we are having." Derek said with a smile. "Well, what should we do to the nursery if it is a boy?"

"What about boats?" Meredith asked. "Like sailboats?"

"That's cute, I like it." Derek beamed with joy, because this conversation just meant that they were really having a baby.

"What about a girl?" Meredith said. "There are so many options."

"Well, what about bunnies?" Derek said, but he saw a negative reaction on Meredith's face. "Okay, well what about a princess theme. We could do more of a pink and green color. Izzie could help decorate it with you."

"I like that." Meredith said as she hugged Derek. "Derek?"

"Yes?"

"I think I've gotten by all that I can with my pants. I've been wearing stretchy pants for two weeks, but I'm going to need maternity clothing soon." Meredith said as she kissed his neck and ran her hands down his chest.

"You want to go shopping now?" He said as Meredith's face lit up.

"Well, yes. But can it wait a little while?"

"Sure, but what do you have to do first?" Derek asked.

"You." Meredith said with a playful grin.

Derek smiled and offered to go upstairs with Meredith, but her hormones needed to have him right there.

Alright, that is all for this chapter. But I promise that was not the end of emotional and frustrated Meredith. I can tell you that I already know what baby Shepherd is…but you will not know till one of the next two chapters. Please review!!! Any feedback is much appreciated.
