Meredith lay in her hospital bed asleep. It had been a hour since she had giving birth to their baby girl. Derek walked into the room pushing the basinet. When he got to her bed side he carefully lifted the tiny baby out of it basinet. He sat down in the chair by her Meredith's bed. What were they going to name her? She was the most beautiful baby that he had ever seen. Derek watched as his newborn daughter opened her eyes. They were just like her mom's. Grey.

"Hey, can I see her?" Meredith asked.

Derek hadn't even noticed her wake up, he was just to into his little girl.

"Of corse." Derek stated getting up very carefully.

"Watch her head." Meredith said by instinct.

"Don't worry, I won't drop her, she's way it important to drop." Derek stated as the baby opened her eyes again.

"She has her mom's eyes." Derek stated with a smile.

"Really, she looks just like her daddy."Meredith stated the baby laying in her arms.

Derek and Meredith just sat watching their girl.

"So what are we going to name her?" Derek asked.

"I don't know? How about Phoebe?" Meredith suggested.

"I like it. Phoebe Lynn Grey Shepard." Derek stated.

"It perfect." Meredith stated.

Suddenly Izzie and Cristina walked in.

"She's so cute." Izzie was the first to say something.

"So what are you guys going to name her?" Cristina asked.

"Phoebe Lynn Grey Shepard." Meredith looked at her and smiled.

"I like it fits her."Meredith stated.

Phoebe started to fuss.

"I think she's hungry." Meredith stated.

"Okay, you two need to leave." Derek stated pushing them out the door.


"So have you guys got to see her yet?" Molly asked exited.

"Yeah, she's the cutest little girl I've ever seen." izzie stated smiling proudly.

"So did they name her yet?" Susan asked.

"Yeah, Phoebe Lynn Grey Shepard." Cristina stated.

"Phoebe, Phoebe, where have I heard that before? Oh now I remember Phoebe Smith." Thatcher replied.

"Who in the world is Phoebe Smith?" Molly asked.

"Phoebe was Meredith's best friend in kindergarten, she moved away when they started first grade. She was so upset when she got the news." Thatcher told them.

"Oh." Molly stated.


Meredith had just got done feeding Phoebe when Addison walked in. Derek jumped to his feet.

"Don't worry I'm just trying to fill out the rest of the paperwork." Addison stated.

"Derek, can you please take her." Meredith stated looking up at Derek.

"Okay, Have you two decided on a name yet?" Addison asked.

"Phoebe Lynn Grey Shepard." Meredith looked over at the basinet then back over at Derek.

"Okay, well I think that's all the information we need. You should be able to take Phoebe home in a couple hours." Addison stated.

"Thank you." Meredith had to bite her tounge.


Derek walked over to the waiting room, he looked at them and smiled.

"Phoebe Lynn was born at 3:09 6 pounds 1 ounce." Derek stated.

"Can we see her?" Molly asked.

"Meredith is just in getting ready to go. Then when she's ready we will bring her out." Derek stated.

"Okay." Susan stated.


Derek walked back into the room, Meredith had already got Phoebe and had her strapped

into her car seat.

"You have a waiting room full of people out there waiting for you to."Derek stated.

"Like who, my father and my so called family." Meredith stated.

"Yeah." Derek mumbled.

"Oh, great." Meredith stated.

"You ready to go?" Derek asked.

"Yeah, we are." Meredith looked up at him and smiled.

Derek picked up the car seat, Meredith and him walked side by side out to the waiting room. Every one crowded around them, even the nurses wanted to catch a glimpse of their baby. That didn't surprise Meredith or Derek at all.
