Meredith pulled up to the house, she lied her head on the wheel and started to cry. She didn't want to be like her mother. She didn't want her little girl to grow up like she did. Phoebe started to fuss.

"Just a minute little girl, mommy will get you out of that horrible seat." Meredith stated pulling herself out of the seat.

She picked up the fussy baby, Phoebes cheeks were red and flushed.

"What's wrong baby?" Meredith asked wishing she could talk.

Phoebe just kept crying, Meredith didn't know what to do. She felt her fore head, she had a temp, but it wasn't that high. Meredith walked into the house, and placed Phoebe in the playpen. Her screaming didn't subside.

"Just a minute honey, mommy's going to get your Tylenol." Meredith tried to make her stop crying, but it was no use.

Meredith came back to the playpen, Phoebe had turned redder, her eyes were still full of tears.

"Here you go honey." Meredith gave her some Tylenol.

"Come here." Meredith stated pulling her out of the playpen and onto her lap.

She rocked her back and forth on her knee. She just didn't know what was wrong with her little girl, and it was really starting to bother her.

Meredith didn't even think about watching the clock, she had feel asleep with Phoebe. Suddenly Phoebe's shrill cry filled the room. Meredith looked down at Phoebe, she was sweating now.

Meredith started to panic. She ran out to the kitchen to get the thermometer. She quickly unbuttoned Phoebe's shirt and placed in under her screaming baby's arm. She waited impatiently. Finally the thermometer beeped. She looked at the LCD display in read 99.9.

"Oh my god I have to get you to the hospital." Meredith panicked.

Meredith heard the front door open.

"I'm here for lunch." Derek called out.

Meredith was to busy grabbing things to answer him.

"Mer, honey what's wrong?" Derek asked concerned.

"Phoebe's got a temp of 99.9, she won't stop crying, Derek she's sick!" Meredith replied starting to cry.

"Ok let take her to the hospital, I'm sure its just a bug." Derek said cradling Meredith.

Meredith and Derek ran out to the car, and got in. Meredith kept a birds eye on Phoebe. She didn't want to leave Phoebe.

"What's wrong?" Addison asked watching Meredith, and Derek walk up.

"Phoebe's sick, or something." Meredith stated.

"Okay, lets take a look." Addison stated motioning for them to come into the exam room.
