Thank you to those wonderful few of you who actually reviewed. I really appreciate it, so please keep them coming.

Enjoy!

Meredith stays in the nursery, just watching her tiny baby girl, until late in the evening when the nurses insist that she goes back to her own room.

When Meredith rounds the corner into her room, she sees Lexie sitting on her bed, talking to Izzie, who is cradling DJ in her arms. "Hi guys ...What are you doing here?" She doesn't mean to be rude, but it's been a long day, and she is tired.

Lexie speaks up. "We just thought we'd stop by. Do you want us to go?"

"No, stay." Meredith says, she then tells them. "I was just up visiting Susie."

"Oh, how's she doing?" Izzie enquires, genuinely interested in her god daughter's progress.

Meredith smiles happily. "She's getting better, Addison thinks she might be able to come home within the month."

"That's so great." Izzie says, she then looks down at DJ, and in a baby talk voice says. "Your sister's going to come home soon, De."

Meredith and Lexie laugh slightly at Izzie's interaction with DJ, it's the only time she's really happy now.

They continue light conversation for a while, and then-

A thought hits Meredith. "Where is home?"

Lexie and Izzie turn to look at her. "What?" Lexie questions.

"Where are you living? Where am I going to live when I get out of here?"

Lexie gives Meredith a look which gives the impression of pure confidence. "I'm staying at a motel. And by the time you get discharged, where you're living will be taken care of."

Meredith is surprised, but lets it go. "But what about you? And Izzie. I can't leave you guys with nowhere to go." She then suggests. "When I get out, we can get a house together; you, me, the kids, and you too of course Izzie."

Lexie listens as Meredith goes on to make plans, all the while keeping quiet about the surprise that awaits Meredith when she leaves the hospital.

Meredith release date comes and goes without action, she is not ready to go home yet. It is another week after that when Meredith is finally told, by Bailey. "You're ready to go home." She places a file on the bed. "Here are your discharge papers."

Once Bailey leaves, Meredith calls Lexie to come get her, and while she waits she packs up the assortment of possessions that she has accumulated during her stay.

Lexie arrives several minutes later, with DJ in tow. "Hey Mere." She greets her half sister cheerfully.

Meredith stands up as she greets Lexie. "Hi Lex."

"Are you ready to go?" Lexie asks her, gathering the bags of stuff as she does so.

"Seriously?" Meredith says sarcastically, looking at Lexie like she's gone mad. "I've been ready to leave since I got here."

"Okay, let's go." Lexie says as she walks towards the doorway, Meredith follows her as quickly as she can.

Once they are on their way, Lexie hands Meredith a blindfold. "Here, put this on."

Meredith is surprised. "What?"

"I've got a surprise for you. Put on the blindfold." Lexie tells her excitedly, it's almost time for the big reveal.

Taking the bait, Meredith accepts the blindfold, and after a moment's hesitation, puts it on. "What's the surprise?"

"It won't be a surprise if tell you, now, would it?"

Meredith laughs at this.

They pull up outside the recently completed house about twenty minutes later, as they do, Lexie sees the group of people standing by the front deck. Everything is going to plan.

"We're here." Lexie announces to Meredith, she then instructs. "Keep the blindfold on, I'll come help you out."

Meredith does so, and once Lexie has gotten DJ out of his car seat, she helps Meredith step out of the car, and positions her so that the house will be in perfect view when Meredith takes of the blindfold.

"Okay Mere, take it off." Lexie instructs.

Meredith fumbles for a moment before pulling the blindfold away. As soon as she does so, her jaw drops in shock, and tears well in her eyes. "Lexie, this is..."

Lexie finishes her sentence for her. "The house Derek was building." She then explains. "We arranged for it to be finished for you and the kids."

Wiping a tear from her eye, Meredith whispers. "Oh my god. Thank you Lexie."

"Don't just thank me." Lexie says, motioning towards the crowd. "Everyone helped out."

Meredith murmurs some kind of reply, but it is practically inaudible.

"Do you want to look around?" Lexie asks.

Meredith nods, still too shocked to speak.

Lexie takes Meredith by the arm, and guides her towards the door.

Everyone else follows behind them as they check out the large house.

A week and a half later, Susie is also discharged from the hospital. Meredith, Lexie, and DJ all go pick her up, and on the way back, by her own insistence, Meredith sits between the two baby carriers, watching as her babies look around in fascination, taking in every new piece of scenery along the way. "I can't believe we're almost home Lex, both the kids will be there, and in another couple of weeks, Izzie will be too. We can be a family, we can try to move past all this."

"Yeah." Lexie agrees, then adding. "It'll be good."

When Lexie pulls the car to a stop outside their house, Meredith unhooks Susie's carrier, and lifts it out ahead of herself.

As she steps out of the car, Meredith looks down at Susie, and says. "Welcome home sweetheart."

TBC...
