40 Weeks
Hello! So, I just got back from Spring Break. It was very fun, and that is why I had so much time to write, (like 3 chapters a night). And although that may have been impressive for me personally this week, it probably wont continue. (I'm sorry). At home, I only have a certain amount of computer time, and most of it is used for homework, so the weekends I will probably update a lot. I just had to tell everyone because I don't want anyone to think that I am neglecting my story, because I have every intention of continuing it.
A/N: I do not own Grey's Anatomy. I wont ever own Grey's Anatomy. I don't like Addison, so she is not in here. She went back to New York with Mark.
Alrighty, Please Review!
Week 5
Meredith snuggled closer to Derek while she tried to sleep. After a very fun night, Well, fun but interrupted. Derek and Meredith were having a great time in bed, but Derek kept getting up to make sure that the baby was okay. Meredith couldn't help but laugh, and love his concern. It was just so cute!
A few hours later, Derek got up to get a glass of water. Carefully making sure not to move Meredith from her sleeping state, he removed himself gently. Meredith rolled over to put her face down into her pillow.
"Meredith!" Derek said softly.
"Urgh." Meredith groaned quietly.
"Meredith!" Derek said more loudly.
Meredith rolled over to face him. "Yes, baby?" she said in a tired voice.
"I don't mean to be all weird, but is it possible that you can sleep on your back?"
Meredith gave him a weird look. "Why?" she asked.
"Because, you might smush our baby."
Meredith burst out laughing. "I promise you, our baby is fine."
Derek nodded. "Okay, okay. I don't mean to be paranoid, I just am making sure."
"I know baby, and I love you for it." Meredith said trying to hold back another laugh.
"Okay, I think I am going to get in the shower while I'm up. We have an hour before shift starts."
"Alright. I'll see if Izzie made breakfast."
"Oki doki. Love you." He said gazing fondly at her.
"Thank you Derek. I love you too."
"I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to the baby."
Meredith was about to say something, but Derek jumped in.
"I love you Meredith. I love you baby." He said rubbing her flat belly gently.
Meredith slapped his butt playfully as she left the room to go see about breakfast.
Entering the hall, Meredith immediately felt queasy.
"IZZIE?" Meredith yelled.
"What?" she yelled back.
"What the hell are you cooking?"
"Egg and cheese omlettes."
"Please don't. They're making me sick."
"We always have cheese omlettes on Monday mornings."
"Yeah, can we change that?"
"Can you just hold your nose?"
Meredith walked grumpily into the kitchen and sat at the barstool.
"Can you make me something else?" she asked with puppy eyes.
"What do I look like, the resident cook?"
More puppy eyes from Meredith.
"Ok, fine. What do you want?"
"Oranges. With sugar on the top, and chocolate chips."
"Are you serious? You hate oranges. And you hate chocolate."
"Well, now I don't."
"Meredith, what is with you lately? Your tastes have changed, your sick all the time, and you are more moody than Sybil was on that TV show."
"I don't know."
"If I didn't know better, I would say that you were pregnant." Izzie said jokingly.
Meredith didn't respond.
"Holy shit. You're pregnant!"
"Not so loud."
"Meredith! When did this happen?" Izzie came over to give her a hug.
"I'm 5 weeks along."
"That's great! Who else knows?"
"Derek, and Cristina, who suggested I take a test in the first place. And you. Please Izzie, you cant talk about this yet, not till I'm sure that everything is fine."
"I wont. Oh, Meredith, I am so excited for you!"
"Thanks Izzie, I'm getting pretty excited myself."
"Where are you going to live? You're engaged, and pregnant. You need a house."
"Well, I was planning to move Derek in here. It has six bedrooms, you and George each have one, and there's mine and Derek's and then there is one right next to ours that can be the nursery."
"Yeah. That's good. Derek is over here every day too."
"What about Derek?" Derek said coming into the room.
"You're over here bothering me for breakfast every morning." Izzie said with a smirk.
"Oh, yeah. And you are a lovely cook. Mmmm. That smells good."
"You want one? Meredith's pregnancy apparently wont allow her to eat them."
"Meredith, I thought we weren't gonna tell anyone?" Derek questioned.
"Well, she figured it out. She totally guessed on her own, and I didn't deny it. I mean, whats one more person."
"Can I help decorate the nursery?" Izzie interrupted.
"What?" Derek asked.
"The nursery. Oooh, we can do Noah's Ark, or we can do the whole Frog thing, or the Farm Animals. Ooh. This will be fun!"
"I cant help it. She's a very perky and happy person." Meredith said commenting on Izzie's excitedness this early in the morning.
Derek nodded. "yeah, I can see that. When are you going to tell Bailey and Webber?"
"Oh, I was thinking, how about the day after she is born?"
"Hah. That probably wont work. And when did he become a she?"
"She has always been a she."
"Oh. Uh huh. Well, we'll have to discuss that." Derek said smiling.
"But seriously, what about Webber? You have to tell him Mer, you have health risks now, and I don't want anything to happen to either of you. You mean too much to me."
"Awww." Izzie said with a lovesick smile on her face.
Meredith gave Izzie a look and Izzie handed them breakfast and then hurried off to change for work.
"I don't know. I'm worried ,I just accepted this program, and it means a lot to me, I don't want to be on restriction."
"I don't think you will be. I mean, probably they will cut back your hours some, but I was reading this article online…."
"You were online?" Meredith said with a smile playing on her lips. Derek was a fabulous brain surgeon, but his Internet skills were definitely not top notch.
"Yes, I was. On this website about pregnancy."
Meredith smiled. She was so happy that she had Derek, even though she couldn't exactly see him on a pregnancy website.
"Oh, and what did they tell you?"
"Well, they were all, if you have a stressful job, the sooner you tell the boss about your condition the better. Stress can cause health problems for both the mother and the baby."
"Oh, well I guess we'll have to tell them sometime soon."
"How about today?"
"Today!"
"Why not? It's a beautiful rainy morning. They won't freak."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"You're what!" asked Bailey.
Derek and Meredith stood in front of Bailey and Webber on opposite sides of the desk.
"We're pregnant." Derek said again.
"No, you are nothing. She is pregnant."
"Oh, well, I always think of it as our baby."
"Yes, well while that is just romantic, and lovely, it is not going to affect you like it is going to affect Meredith here."
"You're not going to kick me out of the program, are you Dr. Webber?" Meredith asked, silently praying that the answer was no.
"Of course not, Meredith. Bailey just delivered a few weeks ago, and remained on the job most of the pregnancy."
Bailey glared at Webber. "But, she is an intern."
"Well, I don't see any difference. I remember that you got pregnant as an intern."
Meredith and Derek turned to look at Bailey with surprise.
"Yes, I have another child. But, I was young, only 27, and not married, and not even in a relationship. I gave her up for adoption."
"And that's fine for you, but that is totally different from my situation. I have Derek, and I am content with everything, and I am talented, I'll bounce right back." Meredith said defending herself.
"Yes, and I see that. I don't mean to come off rough, I just, it was very hard for me as an intern to be pregnant, and have such a big workload, and, I don't know. I want you to understand that this will take a toll on you."
"Yes, we understand." Derek said taking Meredith's arm.
"I love her. She loves me. We're engaged, we got engaged a few weeks ago, and I found out about the baby last week. We're in love, and about to marry. How much more stable could she be?"
Webber nodded. "Okay, Here's the deal. Meredith, no more 48 hours shifts, you will take frequent breaks, and if you feel any major problems, take time off. Be careful, you really are a bundle of talent and we want to keep you with us."
"Thank you Dr. Webber." Meredith and Derek chorused.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
"Did you feel like you were in trouble for sneaking out, and your parents were yelling at you?" Meredith laughed.
"Yeah. I did. Gosh, I'm glad we got that over with."
With that, Derek pulled her into the storage closet down the hall, and turned the lock.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Alrighty, I don't know how that went, but it's a chapter!
