A/N: No excuses this time. It hasn't been two months though so you should be happy. LOL. Anyway here it is. Enjoy!

"Derek, there you are." Meredith smiled as she placed Cameron into his car seat. "We were getting worried about Daddy, weren't we boys?"

Derek smiled. "Are you ready to go home?"

"More then ready. It feels like I've been here forever."

"That's because you have. Two months is a long time."

Meredith sighed. "I didn't realize how long it really had been."

"Okay, so are we ready then?"

"Yup. The boys are fed and changed and all buckled up in the beautiful car seats that their daddy picked out for them."

"I bet they are. I should get a nurse to push you out to the car."

"Don't be silly Derek, I can walk."

"Ok, but if you start to feel weak let me know. We'll stop and sit down."

"You take good care of me." Meredith smirked as she looked up into Derek's eyes.

"I do, don't I?" Derek grinned as he picked up the two car seats. "Can you take the diaper bag Mere? I'll grab the boys."

The couple had made it only a few steps when they ran into Addison. Addison walked right up to Derek with a smile on her face, she grabbed his hands and cheered.

"She's breathing on her own Derek, on her own."

Derek placed the two car seats on the ground and looked into Addison's eyes. "She is? That's great. I mean…wow. What does this mean?"

"It means that we can hold her! I was on my way there now, want to come?" Addison asked.

Derek looked at Meredith for approval. As much as Meredith wanted to get the boys home and to have Derek to herself today, she smiled and motioned for him to go.

"We'll be fine Derek. I'll bring the boys outside. We'll sit in the garden for a little while."

Derek looked at her, questioning whether to believe her or not. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" He asked.

"I'm more than okay with this. I'll go page Cristina to help me bring the boys down. We'll meet you outside in a half an hour okay?"

"Yeah, okay." Derek kissed the top of Meredith's head before grabbing Addison's hand and walking to NICU.

Meredith watched as Addison and Derek walked out of sight. She carefully picked up the boys car seats and moved them out of the way. She then walked up to the nurses station and paged Cristina.

A few minutes later Cristina came jogging up to Meredith.

"Hey, what's going on? I got a page. Are you guys alright?"

"You ran here?" Meredith asked rather sweetly. It was nice to see the caring side of Cristina for a change.

"Well yeah…I thought that…never mind. Lets not make a big deal out of this or anything, okay?" Cristina crossed her arms across her chest.

Meredith nodded.

"So what's going on?" Cristina asked while sitting down next to Meredith.

"McWife's baby is breathing on her own now."

"Oh, that's good. That's good, right?"

"Yeah its good but I…I just wanted to get the boys home. I mean is it selfish to not want Derek to hold his daughter? I…I wanted to get the boys home before it was time to feed them again. I wanted to get settled in, change into my pjs and maybe have a bite to eat before it was time for their next feeding. Now by the time we get home I will have to feed both of them, burp both of them, and that will turn into a good hour to two hours."

"I could drive you home…"

Meredith smiled at her friend. "No, that's alright. I'd just like your help bringing the boys outside. We're going to wait out there for Derek."

"Yeah, sure."

Cristina picked up one of the car seats as Meredith picked up the other one.

"Where are we going?"

"I think the garden would be nice."

Cristina stopped walking for a minute and turned to face Meredith.

"Your mom…she's doing better. She can sit up now. If you want…I mean she's not contagious or anything. I could wheel her down to the waiting room and she could meet the babies."

Meredith smiled. "I'd like that."

Cristina walked Meredith and the boys to the waiting room on her mothers floor. They placed the babies on the floor and Meredith sat in a chair next to them. Then Cristina went to get Ellis.

Twenty minutes later Cristina walked into the rooming pushing Ellis in a wheel chair. Meredith who was now holding a crying Daniel looked up to meet her mother's eyes.

"Hey Mom. It's me, Meredith."

When her mom didn't say anything, Meredith continued to talk to her.

"I um…I'm all grown up now Mom, I gave birth to twins a few days ago. This is Daniel. I'm holding Daniel. The baby asleep in the car seat is Cameron."

Meredith continued to sooth Daniel but the baby's cries continued instead of stopping.

"Could you try to quiet that baby down? Some of us don't like a lot of noise." Ellis snapped.

"I'm trying my best Mom. I think he may be hungry."

"Well then make him a bottle." Ellis snapped and glared at Meredith. "I knew this would happen."

"You knew what would happen, Mom?"

"I knew that if you didn't abort the pregnancy that boy would leave you. He'd leave you all alone. I knew you couldn't handle motherhood. I knew it. You're only a child yourself Meredith. I told you, you should've had an abortion. Now look what you got yourself into."

Meredith sighed as she placed a bottle into Daniel's mouth. The crying finally stopped and Meredith looked up to see Derek standing in the doorway with the car keys in his hand. She looked at Cristina who looked as shocked if not more shocked than Derek.

"Is that true Meredith?" Derek asked. "Is what she saying true?"

Meredith looked down at her lap and shook her head.

"No. She…she doesn't know what she's talking about. Can we go now, please?"

Derek nodded his head and grabbed the car seat that held Cameron as well as the empty one. Meredith continued to feed Daniel as she walked out of the room.

"I told you, you should have had that abortion." Ellis called from the room. "You should have had the abortion."

Once out in the hallway, Meredith began to walk ahead of Derek. She was trying to fight away the tears that were threatening to fall but she didn't want him to see.

"Meredith, slow down. You shouldn't walk so fast. Your stitches could tear."

Meredith didn't say anything. She didn't even turn to look at Derek. She just continued to walk towards the elevator.

Derek finally caught up with Meredith when they entered the elevator. She was leaning against a corner still holding Daniel in one arm and his bottle in the other. Derek placed the two car seats on the ground and pressed L for lobby.

"Are you okay, Meredith?" Derek asked.

Meredith nodded her head and placed Daniel's bottle back in his mouth.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Meredith shook her head this time and kept her eyes focused on the infant in her arms.

At that moment Derek did what he does best. He pressed the emergency stop button, causing the elevator to stop in between floors.

Derek moved closer to Meredith and took Daniel out of her arms. He then placed the baby in his car seat and stuck a pacifier in his mouth when he started to whimper.

Derek walked back over to Meredith and cupped her head in his hands. He gained her eye contact for a second but Meredith quickly looked down at her feet.

"Come on Mere, talk to me."

Meredith shook her head with out looking up. "Can we please just go home?"

"No, no we can't. We need to talk about this."

"There's nothing to talk about." Meredith lied.

"Yes there is." Derek stated gently. "Is what your mother said in there true?"

Meredith shook her head.

"If its not true than why are you so upset?"

"I'm not upset. I'm…I'm fine, Derek."

Derek sighed. "You're not fine. This is bothering. I want to help you."

"I am fine and I would like to left alone." Meredith tried again.

Derek wasn't going to give in. He knew that she was upset so he continued to push. "When were you pregnant?"

Meredith looked up for the first time since they got into the elevator. She hadn't expected him to be so blunt.

"I…"

"I just want to know. When were you pregnant?"

Meredith felt the tears leave her eyes and she looked down at the floor again. "I was…19."

Derek wrapped his arms around her tiny frame and held her tight.

Just then the elevator phone began to ring. Meredith and Derek jumped at the sound and the boys started to cry. Derek walked over to the phone as Meredith placed pacifiers in both boys' mouths.

"Hello?" Derek answered causality.

"Derek, is that you?"

Derek sighed as he heard the Chief on the other end of the phone.

"Yes Chief, its me."

"Do we need to get some men in here to work on that elevator or is it just another one of your elevator tricks."

Derek slightly chuckled. "As soon as I hang up with you the elevator will be up and running."

Derek hung up the phone and pressed the emergency stop button to make the elevator go again. In less than a minute the doors were open and Meredith was making her way out of the elevator, leaving Derek behind with the babies.

When Derek got out to the car, Meredith had already started the ignition and was sitting in the passenger seat.

After clicking the car seats into their bases in the backseat, Derek joined Meredith in the front.

"You can't seriously be only upset about what your mother said." Derek smirked.

Meredith gave him an evil glare and started to cry.

"Meredith what did I say?"

"Don't Derek, don't. Just leave me alone, okay?"

Derek turned the car off and unbuckled his seat belt.

"We're not leaving here until you tell me what is going on." Derek scolded.

Meredith continued to whimper as she stared out her window.

"I'm serious. We're not leaving here until you tell me why you are so upset."

Meredith took a deep breath and turned to look at Derek.

"I had a miscarriage. The baby died. End of story. Can we go now?"

Derek hadn't expected this. He didn't know what to say. He looked away from Mere and redid his seatbelt and started the car.

When Derek and Meredith got home, Meredith went straight up to her room with the babies while Derek went to make two bottles.

"Knock, knock." Derek said from the doorway.

Meredith looked up and made eye contact with him for the first time since they had gotten in the car.

"Who would you like to feed?" Derek asked.

"I'll take Cameron. He's the faster eater."

"Okay so I'll take Daniel."

After a few minutes of silence Meredith looked over at Derek and began to talk.

"I was 19. I was in college. I got pregnant during the first semester of my sophomore year. I was going to keep the baby. I knew I couldn't have an abortion and adoption was not an option because I knew I'd be too attached. So I decided to have the baby. My mom didn't like the idea and stopped paying my college tuition. The deal was that if I had the abortion she would pay and if not I was on my own. Then one night when I was about two months along I got cramping on my way back from class and I had lost the baby. I didn't tell my mom. I told her that I went through with the abortion and she was happy. She seriously happy. I don't think I ever got over that."

"Meredith, you know that if your mom was lucid now she would love these babies with all her heart and back then…she was just trying to protect you."

"I know. I know that. It just hurt to hear her say those words today. I mean…you don't know what its like losing your child. And to top it off, then pretending that you choose to kill it."

Derek wrapped his arm around Meredith and pulled her close to him.

"I know its hard. I know, but I'm happy you told. I wish you hadn't been afraid to tell me before. I would have been there for you and I would have listened to every word you said."

"I know." Meredith smiled.

Derek kissed the top of Meredith's head.

"What do you say we finish feeding these babies and then I'll make something good for lunch?"

"Sounds good but I think I can finish up here if you want to go start lunch."

"You sure?"

"I got a lot of experience over the past two days when you were spending time with Addison and Lexi." Meredith said, trying not to sound jealous.

"Okay. I'll see you in a little while."

Derek kissed Daniel's head and handed him and the bottle over to Meredith. He watched as she rearranged the infants so that it was possible to feed both at the same time, and then walked out of the room to make lunch.

A/N: So what did you think? I wasn't sure about the whole pregnancy thing but I think it worked. Thanks for reading.
