Chapter 4- Okay, well I'm really bored right now so I decided to write this. Yes, Meredith is pregnant. No Derek does not know yet…. I know this has gotten a bit off track from Grey's Anatomy but… I hope you still read it!!
"Come on Hannah, you need to come to the hospital with me till I figure out what I can do with you while I'm at work." Izzie said pulling at the cover that was over her daughter's head.
"No." Hannah said turning over on her stomach
"Hannah, I'm going to be late for work and that means that Bailey is going to have my butt, which means we'll be at the hospital longer then we would be if you would just get up." Izzie said
"Fine." Hannah grumbled getting up from the bed
"Come on, go take a shower and I'll lay out some clothes for you and get your breakfast ready." Izzie said
"Okay." Hannah said shrugging her shoulders then going into the bathroom
She opened the door and George was there….
"AHH!" Hannah screamed covering her eyes and then running back to the room
"GET OUT!!" George screamed trying to cover himself
"Hannah? What's wrong, are you ok, what happened?" Izzie asked quickly running back upstairs
"He was in the bathroom, without any clothes on." Hannah whispered
All of a sudden George came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist.
"Izzie, I'm so sorry, I didn't know she was going to come in, I'll lock the door." George said quickly
His face was beat red and he was all flustered.
"I'm so sorry Hannah, see I'm nice, you just surprised me, see I'm not used to having little girls in the house so I never lock the door. I promise I will next time." George said before dashing into his bedroom
"Are you okay?" Izzie asked
"Yes." Hannah said quietly
"Go take a shower and get dressed so we can leave." Izzie said
"Okay mommy." Hannah said before running into the bathroom
Izzie stood there stunned. She was surprised at how good it felt to have her daughter call her mommy. She laughed then walked down the stairs with a big grin on her face.
"Hey Iz, what happened?" Meredith asked
"Oh, Hannah walked in on George while he was in the bathroom." Izzie said
Meredith started cracking up before bursting into tears…
"Mer, what's wrong?" Izzie asked rushing over to her friends side and pulling her into a hug
"I…I… I don't know…know, what I'm…g-going to d-d-do." Meredith sobbed hugging her midsection protectively
"Mer, are, are you pregnant?" Izzie asked pulling away and looking at her face
Meredith couldn't answer but lightly nodded her head before bursting into tears again.
"Is it Derek's?" Izzie asked
"Of course it's Derek's." Meredith said angrily
"Does he know?" Izzie asked
"No." Meredith said quietly
"Are you going to tell him?" Izzie asked
"I don't know." Meredith said wiping her eyes
"What, Mer, you have to tell him." Izzie said
"No I don't." Meredith said
"Are, are you having an abortion?" Izzie asked scared of her answer
"I'm not sure, I mean Izzie, I'm a surgical intern not a mother. I can't have a baby right now. Maybe in a couple years but definitely not now." Meredith said
Izzie looked at her in disgust.
"If you kill your baby, the one that you and Derek made out of love then I will never talk to you again." Izzie said going back up the stairs.
She walked into her daughters room to find her pulling a shirt on.
"Hannah what happened?" Izzie asked looking at the bruises on her daughters stomach
"Nothing." Hannah said quickly pulling her shirt down
"Hannah…" Izzie said hoping she'd talk
"Nothing happened." Hannah said
"Okay…" Izzie said not satisfied but dropping the subject for now "Do you want me to do your hair?"
"Yes please. Can you do pigtails?" Hannah asked
"Yeah, high or low?" Izzie asked
"High." Hannah decided
"Okay, come here." Izzie said taking her hand and leading her to her room where she had a brush and hair ties
5 minutes later they were heading out the door and towards the hospital.
"After work I'm going to take you shopping and we're going to get you some new clothes and other necessities, okay?" Izzie said
"Okay." Hannah said gripping her mom's hand tightly
They got into the locker room and started changing into their scrubs. Hannah just stood there.
"Okay, rounds everyone. Yang and Karev you've got the deck today. O'Malley cases up in 2693, 2695, 2696, 2712, 2714, and 1718. Grey and Stevens, you're with me." Bailey said turning and walking out the door but then stopped
"Stevens, tell me that's not a kid with you right now and I'm just seeing things." Bailey said not turning around
"Um actually, this is my daughter." Izzie said
"What did you just say." Bailey said
"This is my daughter Hannah." Izzie repeated
"What is she doing here?" Bailey asked
"She um, her foster family died and she's living with me and Meredith now. But I need to find someone to watch her and I'm hoping that she can stay with me just for today." Izzie said
"For today only, then I don't want to see her here with you again." Bailey said walking out of the door
"She's mean." Hannah whispered to Izzie
"Yeah, that's why we call her the Nazi." Izzie said
"What's a Nazi?" Hannah asked
"Someone who pushes you to your breaking point and still won't give up and they're really mean." Izzie whispered back
"Iz, come on." Meredith said putting on her white coat
"Yes Meredith." Izzie said rolling her eyes then pulling on her white coat and taking Hannah's hand again and leading her out the door
"Are you going to talk to Bailey?" Meredith asked
"Yeah, as soon as I can." Izzie said
"Here, I can watch Hannah so you can talk to Bailey." Meredith offered
"Yeah, could you?" Izzie asked
"Yeah, I'll need the practice." Meredith said
"What, you're keeping the baby?" Izzie whispered
"Yeah." Meredith said smiling
"Oh, I'm so glad because I didn't really want to stop talking to you." Izzie said hugging her
"Stevens, Grey, stop your little love fest and get over here, now!" Bailey shouted
"And the Nazi bellows." Meredith mumbled
"Come on." Izzie said picking up Hannah
"I thought you were going to talk to her." Meredith said
"I will later." Izzie said
They ran to catch up with Bailey and then walked into the patients room…
3 hours later…
"Stevens, over here now." Bailey yelled
"Mer, could you watch Hannah for a sec?" Izzie asked
"Yeah, be glad to." Meredith said picking her up
"Thanks." Izzie said going over to Bailey
"Yes." Izzie said once she got over to Bailey
"What are you planning to do with Hannah when you're here from now on." Bailey asked
"Actually, I was going to ask you how you do it with your son, because I really don't know what I'm going to do with her." Izzie confessed
"My husband watches him. Again what are you going to do." Bailey said
"I just told you, I don't know. I guess I'll find a day care system for her to go into for the summer and hire a babysitter for after school when school starts." Izzie said
"Good. Get one, then now." Bailey said walking away
"Nazi." Izzie mumbled under her breath
She turned around to see Derek with Meredith and Hannah between them.
'They're going to make great parents.' Izzie thought as she looked at them
"Okay, can I have my daughter back now?" Izzie asked going over to them
"Yeah I guess." Meredith sighed handing her back over
"Can we talk?" Derek asked Meredith
"Yeah, sure." Meredith said following him
Once they were in the on call room Derek asked,
"Do you want a baby?"
"Um, yeah, I guess." Meredith said "Why, do you?"
"Yeah, seeing you with Hannah, I want that to be us." Derek said
'Should I tell him now?' Meredith wondered
"Do you want a baby now?" Derek asked
"If you do, I do." Meredith said
"Good, because I do." Derek said kissing her on the mouth
"Good, because well, um… I found out 2 weeks ago, that I'm pregnant. About 2 months." Meredith said
"Really?" Derek asked pulling away from her
"Yeah, are you happy, or mad, or not sure or what?" Meredith asked
"I'm ecstatic!" Derek said grinning
"Really?" Meredith asked
"Yeah, really, wait you are keeping it, right?" Derek asked
"Yeah, I am if you want me to." Meredith said
"I want you to." Derek said
"Do you want to see the picture?" Meredith asked
"You have a picture?" Derek asked
"Yeah, in my purse, come on." Meredith said pulling him into the locker room
A couple minutes later they were looking at the picture. Derek was behind Meredith with his arms wrapped around her and his hands over her hands and they were on her stomach.
"That's our baby?" Derek asked
"Yeah, that's her." Meredith said
"You want a girl?" Derek asked
"Yeah, I guess, why do you want a boy." Meredith asked
"No, I want a girl, one just like you." Derek said kissing the top of her head
"Sorry to break up the love fest but I need a neuro consult on a premie." Addison said coming into the room
"Okay, you coming?" Derek asked Meredith
"Sure." Meredith said putting the picture away then shutting her locker
They walked up to the NICU and went to the incubator on the far left.
"Burke should be here soon too. She has some problems with her heart and we noticed her hands and feet were swollen. She also has almost a webbed appearance and a short neck." Addison said
"Oh, so you're thinking she has Turner syndrome." Derek asked
"Yeah." Addison said
"Well, I'll need to do a karyotype to be sure." Derek said
"You needed a consult?" Burke asked with Christina behind him
"Yeah, I think she has turner syndrome so she could have a constriction of the aorta." Addison said
"A coarctation of the aorta." Christina said
"Yes." Burke said looking down at Christina smiling
"Interns." Addison mumbled
"Does she have Turner Syndrome?" Alex asked coming into the NICU.
"We're not sure yet." Addison said smiling at him
"Does she like him?" Christina whispered to Meredith
"I think so." Meredith whispered back
"I'll order the test to be done, Meredith." Derek said
"Coming." Meredith said following him out of the NICU
"Was it just me or does my ex-wife seem to like Karev." Derek asked
"That's what Christina and I said too." Meredith said
"When's your next ultrasound?" Derek asked
"Next Monday." Meredith said
"Where are you going?" Derek asked
"Actually, I'm thinking of just asking Addison to be my ob/gyn because it will be a lot easier." Meredith said "Are you okay with that?"
"Yeah." Derek said wrapping an arm around her waist and hugging her quickly then whispering bye quickly seeing Bailey coming
"Um Bailey, do you think I could have a break on Monday from 12:15-1:00?" Meredith asked
"For what?" Bailey asked
"Um, I have an appointment." Meredith replied
"Grey, tell me what it is, and then maybe I will." Bailey said
"Um, I'm getting an ultrasound done." Meredith whispered
"You're pregnant too?" Bailey said
"Yeah, 3 months on Monday." Meredith said
"Fine." Bailey said walking off
"Damn interns."
Later that day after the interns are off…
"Hey Mer, do you want to go to the mall with me and Hannah?" Izzie asked
"Yeah, but can Derek come too?" Meredith asked
"Yeah, sure." Izzie replied
"Who's Derek?" Hannah asked
"He's my boyfriend and the neurosurgeon at this hospital." Meredith said
"Did I hear my name?" Derek asked coming up behind Meredith
"Yeah, I just volunteered you to go shopping with us." Meredith said
"Thanks." Derek said kissing her on the lips once
"Well hi Hannah." Derek said
"Hi." Hannah replied
"Come on, there's a case I want to show you before we leave." Derek said
"Okay, see you in a minute Iz." Meredith said before going off with Derek
"I wish Denny was still here." Izzie whispered
"Who's Denny?" Hannah asked
"He was a patient that I fell very deeply in love with." Izzie said
"Where is he now?" Hannah asked
"He's in heaven with your other family." Izzie said
"Oh." Hannah replied softly
"Yeah." Izzie said
Meanwhile…
"Come on." Derek said leading her up to the ob/gyn floor
"What, why are we here?" Meredith asked
"I don't want to wait till Monday." Derek said leading her into Addison's private exam room
"Derek, we can't be in here." Meredith said
"Yes we can, we'll be quick." Derek said
"Fine." Meredith agreed
She pulled her shirt up a bit while Derek turned on the machine and squirted her with the gel.
"See, she's right there." Meredith said outlining the small body in her stomach.
"I can't wait till she's bigger." Derek said
"Me either." Meredith said
"Well well, what do we have here?" Addison asked coming into the room
"Well, um, I have an ultrasound on Monday but Derek didn't wait to wait that long so he told me that he had a case he waned to me to see and then brought me up here." Meredith said
"Wait, you're pregnant too?" Addison asked
"Yeah, why?" Meredith asked
"Everyone is pregnant." Addison murmured
"Are you pregnant?" Meredith asked
"Yeah." Addison said
"Who's the father?" Meredith asked
"Oh, um…. No one you know." Addison said blushing
"You ready?" Alex asked coming into the room
"Woah, you're pregnant, nice job Dr. Shepherd." Alex said looking at Meredith on the exam table and the ultrasound machine.
"Shut up Alex." Addison said then pushed him out the door
"Who's your ob/gyn?" Addison asked
"Um, well, we were kinda hoping you would be." Meredith said
"Okay." Addison said "Now get out of my private exam room and go home."
"Okay." They both said
Meredith wiped the gel from her belly then followed Derek out of the room.
"I can't believe that she caught us!" Meredith said bursting into laughter after they had gotten into the elevator
"I know, I thought she had left!" Derek said laughing along with her
"What was with her and Karev?" Meredith asked
"Who knows." Derek said
"Where were you guys?" Izzie asked once they stepped off the elevator
Meredith and Derek looked at each other and started cracking up again.
"What am I missing here?" Izzie asked
"They're scaring me." Hannah whispered
"Me too." Izzie said
"Derek decided he didn't want to wait till Monday for the ultrasound so we went to Addison's private office. But during the ultrasound Addison came in….with Karev. Apparently she's pregnant too!" Meredith said
"Okay, come on, before it gets too later let's go." Izzie said
"Okay, coming." Meredith said
2 hours later…
"You just have to get this top." Izzie told Meredith holding up a yellow baby top that said 'Dr. Cutie'.
"Iz, we have 2 bags of baby clothes and 3 bags of toys, and I'm not even 3 months pregnant yet!" Meredith exclaimed
"Okay, okay." Izzie said putting the top back down
"Have you found anything?" Izzie asked Hannah
"Yeah." Hannah replied holding up an armful of clothes
"Come on, let's try them on." Izzie said leading her daughter to the dressing room
"You know, that's going to be us soon." Derek said coming up behind Meredith nuzzling his nose into her neck gently kissing her there.
"I know, I can't wait." Meredith said turning around and kissing him lightly
2 months later…
Meredith is 5 months pregnant and her and Derek are on their way to the 5th floor to get her monthly ultrasound done.
"Wait!" Meredith yelled seeing the elevator about to close.
Someone stopped it and held it for them.
"Thanks Addie." Derek said
"No problem, do you guys want to find out the sex today?" Addison asked
"Do you want to?" Meredith asked looking at Derek
"Only if you do." Derek responded sweetly
"Yeah." Meredith whispered
Derek leaned down and kissed Meredith on the lips lightly.
"Awkward moment." Addison said clearing her throat.
"Sorry." Meredith say blushing
Soon they were up in Addy's office and getting the ultrasound done.
"You are going to be having…" Addison said
