Hey all, I really like this chapter! Its pretty long too, I was going to make it into 2 chapters, but this is what I have decided to do!

I dont own Greys Anatomy, but I wish I did. There is also my attempt at medical 'jargon' hehe, if anyone knows of this disease let me know if I'm accurate.

Meredith had decided against a honeymoon, she had the perfect setting for a relaxed break on her newly rendered doorstep. Christina and Burke took the girls for a week while the happy couple lounged in the gazebo by the lake watching the swans and geese paddle by, going about their daily rituals. Nothing could be more perfect at this point in time Meredith thought to herself, A beautiful Husband, gorgeous kids and another on the way, a beautiful house, amazing friends …

"What are you thinking gorgeous girl?" Derek interrupted her thought.

"Just thinking about how good I have it! I didn't think we'd ever, you know, give in to our feelings for each other. You know it almost killed me, in more ways than one! I drank tequila excessively, and my heart just … broke. But now I have it all, a 5 bedroom house, 2 beautiful daughters, and another bub on the way …"

"And an amazing McDreamy husband" Derek added.

"Oh yeah, there is that, but …" she shrugged, and then giggled. Derek got up out of his chair and started to tickle her, she squealed. They ended up lying together on Meredith's chair, holding each other close. Meredith fell asleep thinking about Derek's vow I promise to make you feel safe until death do us part…

Today started like any other, Meredith, 6 months pregnant got the girls up out of bed, made their breakfast of porridge.

"Good morning my girls" Derek walked into the kitchen in a bath towel and kissed each of his girls on the forehead.

"Hey baby, when do you finish today?" Meredith asked

"8 pm at the latest. I've got a craniotomy to perform at 4, expecting complications." Derek sighed.

"Could you drop the girls at crèche, I'm not feeling the best today." Derek looked worried. "No I'm fine, I just need a bit of rest that's all."

"Sure, not problem, come on girls daddy's gunna get you dressed and your going to play with Miss Julie today. Wont that be fun!"

The girls nodded and then ran upstairs to their rooms and grabbed out what they wanted to wear. Derek kissed Meredith softly on the lips, "You get back up to bed, okay?" She nodded. "See you tonight."

As Meredith lay down on the bed she felt a cramping pain in her stomach, she jolted but didn't worry too much about it. She once again tried to get comfortable, but then decided to go to the toilet.

She sat down on the toilet and pulled down her underwear. She froze. Oh God she thought, as she looked down at the blood that stained her underwear. She started to panic. The bleeding wasn't too heavy, but without expert knowledge in obstetrics or gynecology or anything to do with the female reproductive system, she was panicking. Her craps were getting worse and she knew she needed someone there.

She dialed for an ambulance Hello what's your emergency? The voice on the other end of the like asked calmly.

"I'm 6 months pregnant and I have just noticed vaginal bleeding, not too heavy, but I'm having severe cramps" Meredith exclaimed

Okay, We are coming to you right now, no need to panic.

When they arrived, Meredith was cropped up on the lounge in pain.

"Can you take me to Seattle Grace Hospital please?"

"But Miss, we've been dispatched from All Saints General …" Said one of the ambo's

"Don't give me 'BUT MISS' I work there, my husband is their right now, my girls are at crèche there, my friends are all there so I am not asking you, I am telling you, Seattle Grace NOW!"

"Yes m'am" They gave in, they put Meredith on a trolley and started to transport her to Seattle Grace.

"Incoming, 34 year old woman, 7 months pregnant, noticed vaginal bleeding while on the toilet this morning, having severe but irregular cramping, insisted on Seattle Grace, she works with you?" The Ambo called over the radio.

"Meredith!" Bailey exclaimed. "Page Shepherd, page Dr. Fisher tell her to be ready for a premie birth."

The ambulance arrived and Bailey and the interns ran over, "Okay Meredith stay calm okay!" Derek is on his way down; Dr. Fisher is waiting to see you." They wheeled her into a resus bay.

"Meredith, what's happened?" Dr. Fisher asked her

"I'm bleeding, not too heavy, but I'm also cramping badly."

"Painless bleeding?"

"Uh-huh, it's the cramps that are painful… Ahhhhh …" She cried again.

"Okay, we'll have to run some tests, Alex, set up for an ultrasound. I think I know what's wrong Meredith! I think you have Placenta previa, I'm not sure how serious it is, but we'll check it out on the ultrasound okay!"

Meredith groaned "Where's Derek?"

"Derek's right here sweetheart" Derek answered. Hurrying up to her and holding her hand. "It's going to be okay!"

"Okay, we are going to give you an ultrasound Meredith, you know the drill okay?" Alex took control. He applied the cold gel oh her stomach, and started the procedure.

"Meredith, you have what is known as Partial Placenta Previa, most likely caused by you carrying Roslyn and Evelyn and having a c-section, it occurs when there is scarring in the lining of the uterus. I'm sorry I didn't pick it up earlier; it should have been noticeable in your 2Tri ultrasound."

"Its okay. I think I've herd of it, but how can we treat it?"

"Mer, Ill need you to stay here for a few days, I'd like to monitor the babies vitals, and the amount of bleeding, Alex can you put her on a blood transfusion and nurse Harris, attach Mer to the heart rate monitor and monitor the baby's heart rate. Also put her on 10 mL of Cyclobenzaprine every eight hours for the spasms. If she doesnt improve we'll have to induce her, we need to buy as much time as we can, we dont want this baby to be born for at least another few days yet" Dr. Fisher ordered. "And Meredith, I will be back to check on you a little later." With that, she left the room.
