CHAPTER 14

Derek,Meredith and Carolyn had finally managed to get out of the woods the following morning after spending the night out in the woods they had decided on just spending the night other than putting pressure on Meredith's foot so they found a place to sleep and all three of them slept also had helped that sometime later on that night the rain had stopped the clouds cleared and it became comfortable to sleep,so now they were on a ferryboat on the way back to seattle where Derek insisted that Meredith go and get checked out something she was still arguing about with him.

"But i don't want to go to the hospital."Meredith whined to Derek and it made her sound like she was 7 years old but not caring.

Derek sighed and looked down at Meredith who was pouting"You are going whether you like it or not,you need to get your head and foot looked at and not to mention the baby or have you forgotten about that?"
He snapped automatically feeling guilty but not much after all she did run away.

Meredith knew he was right but she didn't want to tell him that so she continued to argue with him "I'm fine,my ankle doesn't hurt and my baby is fine." She insisted to Derek who was going to say something when Carolyn decided to join in.

"Meredith you do need to see a doctor you may a concussion that you may not know about yet and that ankle? judging from the swelling it could either be a sprain or a broken foot and we need to see how that baby is,so needless to say my dear you are going to that hospital until you are cleared to go understood?" Carolyn ordered leaving no doubt in Meredith's mind that she meant business and it wasn't to be argued with and glancing over at Derek and nor was he and she knew that he was mad for disappearing on him so today she wasn't going to argue.

"Fine i'll go it doesn't mean i like it but i'll go." Meredith pouted and Derek had to chuckle he couldn't help it she sounded like she was a child who was going to get a shot.

For the rest of the ride all three of them were silent knowing there wasn't much to say right now and knowing there will be a place to talk about it,but now wasn't it and they all knew it. They got off the ferryboat about a hour later then Derek carried Meredith into his waiting car that was sitting there in the parking lot and drove them to the hospital where she was admitted and checked over by what he counted was to many doctors but ones he worked gazed down at Meredith who was relaxing in the hospital bed waiting for her ob-gyn a fifty something year old woman to come and check out the baby to make sure that everything was okay, and he was hoping for Meredith's sake it was because if something had happend...well Meredith wouldn't be able to handle with it and neither would he and suddenly he began to frown and much to is chagrin Meredith noticed it.

Meredith knew that something was bothering him so she asked " Derek what's wrong?"

Derek shook his head not wanting to upset her "Nothing i'm fine seriously." He said lying through his teeth and both knew it.

"Derek..." She was about to say when her doctor entered the room giving her a smile as she drew closer to them.

looked over at her charts before looking up at her "So Meredith i see here you have had quite the night a concussion and a sprain ankle do you want to tell me what happend before we start the ultrasound?" She asked scribbling something down in her notes.

Meredith shook her head but there was one thing she wanted to know "Could i find out the sex of my baby or is to early?"

looked thoughtful "Well you're about nineteen weeks give or take i can't see why not." She said smiling as she watched her patient smile.

Derek noticed that Meredith looked a little bit happier whether or not it was because of the baby he didn't know but all he knew that for at least a moment she looked peaceful and content as if yesterday never happend but it did and later on he wanted to talk about that but not now,especially since she was going to find out whether it was a boy or a girl.

"So Meredith what do you want a boy or a girl?"He asked nervously

Meredith just shrugged as she watched getting ready for the ultrasound "I don't know a girl i guess i mean it doesn't really matter as long as he or she is healthy that matters."

Derek had a feeling that it did matter to her but hopefully it would be a girl and told her so "I hope it's a little girl who looks like her mother." He said and watched as Meredith's eyes misted over.

"Thank you."She whispered and she grabbed his hand and held it against hers which made his heart race with that familiar feeling.

He was about to say something when Dr Collins came back with the ultrasound machine ready for it to be used "Okay so Meredith lift up your gown for me please." Her doctor ordered and Meredith did as instructed and felt the coolness of the gel that was placed on her belly causing her to wince and held on to Derek's hand even more tightly then before.

"Okay so here we go." murmured as she began to look inside Meredith's uterus making sure there was nothing wrong the baby and when she saw the sex of the baby she gave a little smile and continued on as if nothing happend.

"What is it?" Meredith demanded wanting to know if the baby was okay and more importantly what it is and felt Derek's hand gripping hers a little more tightly.

The doctor turned her attention towards back to her patient "Well judging from what i can tell your baby is just fine and for the sex of the baby do you want to know or do you want to wait?" She asked.

"Want to know!" Both Derek and Meredith shouted which made the doctor chuckle and before they demanded once again that they wanted to know she told them "Congragulations Meredith you are having a girl,i'll go and leave you two for a minute." said and moved the ultrasound machine away from her and left the room leaving the two of them alone.

Derek leaned down and gave Meredith a hug which was eagerly returned and when they pulled away he saw tears rolling down her face.

"What's wrong Mer?you should be happy." He said softly

"I am happy."She whispered.

"Then what is it? is it because of the rape?" He asked gently wiping away the tears from her face.

Meredith shrugged "Partly i suppose but it's just that i never thought good thing's were going to happen to me all my life all i've experienced is bad."

Derek understood where she was coming from and especially after what had she been through "Well you won't experience it anymore i promise my mother and i will make sure of it."He promised her.

She looked at him with tearful eyes " You promise?"

He tilted her chin to get her to look at him "I promise as long as you don't run away again i will be there for you every step of the way i'll help you raise it if you'd like."

Meredith nodded tearfully " I would like that very much i have no idea what i'm getting myself into." She said and Derek had to laugh he couldn't help it.

She looked at him curiously"What is it?"

Derek stopped laughing and looked down at her "Oh Meredith know one know's what there doing just ask my mother! trust me you'll do just fine once you'll get the hang of it." He assured her and watched as she gave a little smile which all of a sudden made his heart pound realizing she still had feelings for her.

"Thank you i appreciate it so much even after all that crap i pulled on you and your mother." Meredith said honestly.

"It's okay we'll talk about that stunt you pulled yesterday another day but for now have you thought about any name's for the baby?"Derek asked her.

Meredith shook her head "Not really but if you have any suggestions let me know i'm open to it."

He thought about it for a minute before answering "What about Hailey it's a pretty name?"

Meredith shrugged "Maybe."

"What about Cameron?"

"Maybe." She replied

"Okay what about Reece, Jade,Jennifer,Amy, Chloe do you like any of them?" Derek asked

Meredith thought about it "I like all of those name's that's the problem."

"Well you have plenty of time to pick one out,so how about we get you discharged then huh?" Derek asked

She gave him a huge smile "I'm ready let's go home."
