Thanks for all the positive reviews! I'm so sorry about the lack of updates. I should be doing a Social Studies Report right no, but I figured that you guys have waited long enough. Now this chapter is going to get a little intense so braise yourself.
Meredith sighed as she lay down in her bed as Paige continuously cried. Paige had cried non-stop for three hours and hadn't stopped for anything. Derek had gone back to work last week, after being given a two week leave. Being a mother to three wasn't as easy as she though. She couldn't take it all the crying and the feedings. Luckily Ava was at Izzie's for the day and Meredith had one less child to keep control over. Meredith screamed into her pillow and threw it over her head, trying to block out Paige's cries. She had called Derek numerous times, but all times it had gone to voicemail. She said a quick plead to herself as the crying got louder.
"Please just make it stop." begged Meredith to nobody in particular, as she covered her head once again with the pillow.

Derek walked into the house to here a baby's cried filling the air, but he listened farther in to hear yelling.
"Please just shut up!" he heard Meredith scream as the babies cries worsened.
Derek quickly raced up the stairs and towards the nursery, to where he found now two hysterically crying infants and Meredith heart wrenching sobs coming from the rocking chair as she tried to soothe them.
"I'm sorry for yelling." she said as she kissed her Paige's and Emma's heads. "Mommy can't do this though." she just can't as Meredith cried while keeping her lips pressed to Emma's head. She looked up to see Derek standing in front of her." I can't do this, I really can't." she said as her sobs got louder.
Derek immediately went into action by taking Emma and giving her a pacifier and gently putting her into her crib to nap. He then took Paige out of Meredith's arms and rubbing her back until she quieted moments later. He then laid her down as she fell asleep. He then walked slowly to the walking chair and quickly picked up Meredith's petite frame, and sat down in rocking chair and held, her as if he was comforting a child.
"Shh Mere. We're going to figure this out." said Derek as he rubbed her back in tiny circles, feeling her body shake with the sobs emerging from her mouth.
"I'm sorry Derek I didn't mean to snap, I really didn't." as Meredith tried to say as best as she could, her words becoming muffled from leaning against Derek's shoulder so tightly."
"Mere it's okay. We all have our moments. I should've realized you needed help." said Derek as he tried to get Meredith to relax and breathe easier. He felt her cried become slowly softer into little tinier sobs.
"I should've tried harder." said Meredith.
"No Mere. You're doing the best I've ever seen you do before." said Derek as he stroked her hair. "You're doing the impossible by taking care of a toddler and to infants." said Derek as he felt Meredith's body relax a little more. "Why don't I put you into your pajamas and you can sleep." suggested Derek. "I'm here now everything is under control, I'll have Ava stay at Izzie's tonight." said Derek
"No I want Ava home tonight." said Meredith as Derek carried her into their bedroom and helped her slip off her shorts and tank top and put her into comfier shorts and her Dartmouth tee- shirt.
"Alright. But you rest now and don't worry about anything." said Derek as he tucked her into their bed. He then started towards the door.
"Derek?" called Meredith as he started to leave.
"Yes?" he answered as he leaned onto the door frame.
"I love you and our family so much." said Meredith as she shut her eyes.
"I love you too Mere." said Derek as he kissed her forehead.
"More than you could ever imagine."
All is well again. But maybe Meredith needs some help? Stay tuned t0 find out!
