Meredith finished packing the last of her stuff, into a duffel bag. Her c-section was scheduled for today, at eight o'clock. Derek had put the baby carrier seats in the car and Meredith had packed their bag of hospital clothes last night. They were brining a pink onesie and a pale neutral gender color green. Meredith picked up her bag and walked downstairs, to where Ava was happily playing with Izzie and Mark's one and a half year old daughter Lauren. Meredith kissed Ava goodbye, reminding her when she came and visited Mommy later, she would be a big sister. Meredith thanked Mark and Izzie and left meeting Derek in the car. He squeezed her hand as he put the car into reverse.
"You know I can't believe when we come home in a few days, we'll have three kids." said Derek.
"I know it feels really strange to me too." said Meredith.
"But you know what they say once you have one, you can handle anything." said Derek to Meredith as they pulled into the hospital parking lot.
"Ready?" asked Derek
"As ready as I'll ever be." said Meredith.

Derek and Meredith walked up into admitting and went to the front desk, to get checked in.
"Hi, I'm Meredith Shepherd; I have a c-section scheduled for eight with Dr. Marshall." said Meredith.
"Dr. Marshall is not in today. She had a family emergency. She asked one of her old medical school colleagues and one that's certified in neonatal, for you baby's heart murmur." answered the nurse.
"Well who's the doctor?" asked Derek.
Addison showed up around the corner.
"Surprise!" said Addison walked around the corner and Meredith devoured her friend into a hug.
"Why didn't you call and say you were coming?" asked Meredith
"I wanted it to be a surprise." said Addison as she gave Derek a hug also.
The three of them reconciled right after Meredith and Derek got married and now they were all really good friends.
"Well Mere let's get you prepped for surgery." said Addison as she had an orderly get a wheel-chair for Meredith.
Meredith sat down and enjoyed the ride up to her room. She changed into a hospital gown and lay down as she was hooked up to IV's.
"Meredith we need to talk before we go in there." said Addison in her newly changed scrubs.
"What's wrong?" asked Meredith.
"Well due to the heart murmur the baby have, we need to have no extra germs in the room, besides you me and the team of doctors. Which means that Derek, isn't going to be allowed in the room." said Addison slowly.
Meredith shook her head no before continuing.
"No, I'm not doing this by myself. Derek said he'd be there. He has to be there." said Meredith as she started to get upset.
"Meredith I promise, I won't let anything happen to you in there." said Addison as she stroked Meredith's arm, while Meredith started sobbing.
Meredith shook her head and wiped her eyes quickly.
"Then let's just get this over with." said Meredith putting on a brave face.
Addison smiled a sad smile. She unhooked the bed from the walls and told Meredith she'd meet her in the OR. A nurse came in five minutes later to push her down the hall. She strolled down the hall and then stopped when they got to Derek outside the operating room.
"Okay Dr. Shepherd say goodbye to your wife." said the nurse.
Meredith started sobbing hysterically as the nurse said that. Derek leaned down and wiped her tears away.
"Hey Meredith, look at me. You're going to do just fine in there. And I'll be waiting right here for you and the babies when you come out.
"But I want you in there." cried Meredith.
"I know you do Mere, but if we want t help and protect our baby from getting any sicker, I have to stay out here. Okay? said Derek as she kissed her lips and wiped more tears away.
The nurse started to roll the bed forward a little.
"I love you Mere."
"I love you too."
