Seven years later…

She slide the door open to the backyard trying to use her belly to balance a couple of bowls. Alex looked up from the grill and hurried over.

"Here let me help you." He said taking the top ones. She rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm not crippled. I'm pregnant." She responded.

"Again." Christina called from the picnic table she was sitting at with Addison and Izzie.

"Like you're one to talk." Meredith snapped back putting the food out on the long table. She soon came over and joined the others. She fell back in her chair with a thud.

"Tired?" Izzie giggled. Meredith glared at her as she put her feet up in the chair across from her and rubbed her stomach.

She looked over at Addison. "Can you believe it? They are mocking us for being more pregnant then they are."

"Us?" Addison laughed.

"Shut up." Meredith glared at her. "Some friend you are."

"I am a very good friend." Addison defended.

The back door opened and the four looked to see who was coming. George and his wife, Lisa, came out carrying their daughter, Kaylee. The four women waved getting a wave from both back as George let Kaylee down. Soon, George joined Alex, Mark, Richard, Pete, and Taylor by the grill while Lisa came towards the woman.

The others engaged in conversation as Meredith looked around. The kids were playing with each other on the playground while the adults talked to each other. It was weird to think about the start of their internship. It was weird to think about Addison as Derek's wife. It was weird to think that at one point she thought Derek was "the one." It was weird to think that Christina almost married Burke. It was weird to see how much they had changed over the ten years of friendship between the five interns then residents now attendings. A lot had changed since they walked into Seattle Grace for the first time. In the beginning Dr. Bailey's five interns started a friendship that would last them for more than ten years. Now the group had grown from five to nineteen.

Two years after Gavin and Mackenzie were born, Christina met Louis Taylor (but everyone called him Taylor). They got married a year later. Three months after the wedding, Christina was pregnant with her first child, Matthew Louis Taylor. When Matty was two, Christina had his brother Steven Eric Taylor. Now, Matty is four and Stevie is two. Christina is also three months pregnant with her third.

A year and a half after the twins were born, Mark proposed to Izzie the same night she told him she was pregnant. Four months after the wedding, she had Abigail Laura Sloan. Almost two years later, she had Lindsay Marie Sloan. Now, Abby is five and Linds is three. Izzie is five months pregnant with her third.

George met Lisa nearly three years after the twins were born. He proposed a year later and they got married seven months later. Lisa got pregnant on the honeymoon and had Kaylee nine months later. Now, Kaylee is a little over a year old.

While Addison was on one of her trips to L.A, she met Pete Finch. They had a long distance friendship for about a year. About two and a half years after Gavin and Mackenzie were born, she stayed in L.A. for nearly six months for a patient and an OB/GYN clinical trial that was down there. After a year of friendship with sex every time she was in town and six months of serious dating, Pete proposed. When Addison said yes, Pete moved from the private practice he was working at to Seattle Grace. Seven months later, they got married. A year later they had Joshua Michael Finch. Now, Josh is almost three. Addison is seven months pregnant with number two.

Meredith and Alex got married six months after she had the twins. When the twins were three, she had Whitney Lynn Kerev. Now, Gavin and Mackenzie are seven years old and Whitney is four, almost five. Meredith is eight months pregnant with number three.

She looked around the yard and smiled. This was her family. She had a husband, three kids, eight brothers and sisters, and six nieces and nephews.
