Two weeks later…

"I think we should tell the Chief." Meredith said as she walked into the bedroom in her bra.

"Is that what you want?" Alex asked.

"Yes, no, I don't know, but we have to. I'm 18 weeks pregnant." She said and touched her stomach. "I mean look at me. Not only am I holding to babies in my growing uterus but I'm like a vacuum. I eat everything." She sighed and fell back on the bed.

"You look perfect." He said and kissed her. A smile stretched across her face.

"People are staring." She said and sat back up. "Can you pass me my shirt?"

He picked it up and held it in front of her. She reached for it and he retracted his arm.

"Come on, Alex." She giggled.

"On second thought, I like it better the way you are now. Topless."

"Yeah it's like looking at a whale naked." She said trying to grab the shirt.

"Meredith, you're not fat. You're pregnant. And I think it's sexy." He kissed her again with the shirt behind his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.

"I love you," She whispered.

"I love you too, Mere." He said.

"But we're late and I need my shirt unless you want Derek to see me like this." She giggled as he made a face and handed it to her. "The OB/GYN appointment is today." She said slipping the shirt over her stomach. She grabbed a larger sweatshirt and slipped it over her head as well to hide her large bump.

"At 8 this morning right?" She nodded.

"Let's go. Maybe we can catch the Chief before our interns get there."
"Yeah."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Chief?" Meredith called out. The turned around to see Alex and Meredith walking down the hall to catch up with him. Well more Meredith walked and Alex used his crutches.

"Meredith?"

"Chief, I was wondering if we could talk to you in private." He nodded and they walked towards his office.

He shut the door and smiled at the two residents in front of him.

"How's your leg, Kerev?"

"It's good, sir. I'll be off the crutches in two weeks. I can walk around on it some but not for long."

"That's good." The Chief smiled at them. "So what can I do for you?" He sat behind his desk and folded his hands.

"Okay, Chief, I'm going to just tell you." Meredith started. "I'm pregnant with twins. I'm 18 weeks along. Addison is my OB/GYN. She says it's a normal pregnancy."

It took a minute for it to soak in.

"And Kerev…"

"Is the father? Yes." Meredith said quickly.

"Okay." He said simply.

"Okay." Meredith and Alex said.

"You will work less once you hit um…" He thought for a second. "Let's say… 24 weeks. You can go on maternity leave once you hit 30 weeks or so."

She sighed. "Yes sir."

"Okay."

"Thank you, Sir." Alex smiled at him and they left.

"Damn Mommy-tracking." Meredith mumbled causing Alex to laugh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Addison." Meredith said.

"Oh hey," Addison smiled at her.

"How was LA?" She asked as she hopped on the table.

"Good."

Addison had been away for a week in L.A. for a work trip.

"Good."

"So are we finding out the sex?" She asked looking between Alex and Meredith. Never in the three years had she worked with them, had she thought they would end up together. Meredith looked at Alex.

"Yeah, I think we will." Meredith said and smiled at Alex. He smiled back.

"Okay, let's take a look." She started doing the ultrasound. "Look at them. Let's start with baby one." Meredith nodded. There was a long pause. "He is about 5 inches long."

"He?" Alex asked. Addison nodded.

"Oh my god a boy!" Meredith said with eyes sparkling with tears.

"A boy." Addison confirmed. She gave them a second to soak it all in before continuing. "And there's baby two." Another long pause. "She is about 4 inches long."

"She?" Meredith asked this time. Addison smiled and nodded.

"One of each. Good job." She said and printed the scan. "Here's your print out. I'll give you a minute." She started to walk out. "Mere, don't forget about lunch today."

"Okay, Addi." Meredith said and looked up at Alex. She and Addison were becoming closer friends, now.

"One of each, Mere," Alex smiled and kissed her.

"Yeah. One of each."
