Richard got Meredith to room 636 as Addison, Burke and Derek arrived. "I need you to stand back Richard." Burke ordered as he transferred Meredith onto the bed.

"She needs to be hooked up t o a heart monitor, and Addie can you get an ultrasound done to check on the baby." Richard bossed.

"Chief step back, she's my patient now." Burke ordered.

Derek was hovering next to Richard. "What are you doing? What's wrong with her?" he asked frantic.

"What are you doing here?" Burke questioned, ignoring Derek's worry.

"She's my girlfriend." Derek answered. "The babies mine."

Burke raised his eyebrows. "Preston, i will explain later." Richard told him.

At that moment Mark, Alex, Christina and Bailey arrived.

"What's going on?" Bailey asked.

"Dad is she ok?" Mark asked rushing to her side.

"People I need some space." Burke bossed.

"Ok look, Yang, Miranda, Addie and Shep, wait outside." Richard ordered. "Don't worry I will let you guys back in a minute."


Addie, Christina and Miranda filed out, but Derek refused to go.

"Shepherd go she's going to be ok." Richard ordered again.

"She's... she's... I love her." he choked.

"Shep, out, we've got it here. There's nothing you can do." Richard told him.

"Daddy" Meredith groaned. "I'm tired."

"It's ok baby, were just going to connect you to the monitor and you will be ok." he told her as he took her hand.

"I didn't want der to know, he'll leave me too." she whined. "Don't tell Der." she sighed.

Derek looked from Richard to Meredith. "Mer I'm not going anywhere." he told her, before he walked out of the room.

Burke had Meredith set up on a heart monitor and ordered Christina to keep an eye on it. He then nodded to the Chief and left.

Richard called out to the others to enter.

Bailey stepped in followed by Addie, Derek stood hesitantly at the 

door.

"Now that she's settled I was hoping we could do an ultrasound." Richard looked at Addie.

"It looks like Mer is asleep." she answered.

"Not sleeping, just resting my eyes." Meredith mumbled causing everyone to chuckle.

"Der, are you actually going to come in or you going to continue to hover in the doorway?" she asked him. Meredith hadn't even opened her eyes.

"How do you even know he is there?" Alex asked.

"I can feel him looking at me." she smiled.

"Mer" Derek said quietly.

"Look if you don't want to be here you can go." she sighed, "but if Addie id going to do an ultrasound, I thought u might like to be stay." Meredith looked wounded.

Alex, Richard and Mark began to hover around Meredith, as she began to cry.

"Shh... Mer" Derek said as he pushed his way through "I just want to 

know what's wrong with you." he sighed, "you always seem convinced I'm going to leave."

Mark and Alex glared at him.

"Derek" Richard began.

"Daddy" Meredith sighed, "can we just get this scan done".

Richard wiped Mers fringe from her eyes. "OK" he told her as he smiled reassuringly.

Addie moved in with the ultrasound machine. She made a point of going to the said Mark and Alex were standing.

"Do you want everyone here? I can clear the room." Addie asked.

"I guess they can stay." Meredith whispered. "I just want to get this done."

Addie sighed. "Ok Mer". She rested a hand on Meredith's shoulder.

Meredith reached up and took her hand. A tear rolling down her cheek. "Please just make sure my baby is ok."

"Our baby" Derek interrupted.

"What?" Addie asked



"She said please make sure my baby is ok, and I was just saying it's our baby." Derek responded taking hold of Meredith's hand.

Addie shook her head. Meredith didn't need Addie jumping all over Derek along with the boys. Add Bailey to the mix and it was quite a cocktail.

Addie rolled up Meredith's shirt and applied the gel.

"Shit that's cold." Meredith stated in shock.

Both boys laughed while Richard warned her about her language.

Addie continued with the Doppler, spreading out the gel before she then turned on the machine.

"Ok Mer, you ready for this?" Addie asked.

Meredith had her eyes focused on the ceiling. She held tightly onto Derek's hand, afraid that he would go.

"There it is Mer." Addie told her as she focused the image on the screen.

Meredith's eyes were still focused on the ceiling.

Derek's eyes left the screen to look at Meredith. "Mer honey, have a look at our baby." he told her.



Meredith looked at the grin that was on his face. She could feel all eyes on her. "Our baby" she whispered.

Derek squeezed her hand. "Go on" he encouraged.

Meredith turned her head to the monitor. She gasped at the sight. "Tell me about it" she said to Addie.

Addie smiled. "Well, you look to be 2.5 to 3 months along." Addie told her. "I'm more inclined to think closer to 3 months, which means..." she smirked remembering something Meredith had let slip."and well, the baby looks completely healthy. Because of your medical history Mer I want to run the recommended tests to eliminate any possible problems that the baby might develop."

Meredith nodded. "ok, when do you want to do the tests?" she asked.

Addison looked from Richard then back to Meredith. "I would do it now, but I don't want an audience. Besides Mer, I would prefer to know that your other ummm... issue is clear before I do the tests."

"But I'm fine right daddy?" Meredith asked.

Richard sighed and moved to Meredith's bedside. "Baby girl, were pretty sure it was just a scare." he told her as he sat on the edge of the bed. "No more forgetting your meds."

"I didn't forget daddy. I just threw it up." she told him honestly.



"Well then, you'll have to find another time to take those tablets. No leaving it all day." he told her sternly.

"Actually daddy it would be more than a day. It would be closer to three." she said shyly.

"Meredith" he said crossly. "You can't do that again. You've given us quite a fright tonight."

"Meds?" Derek finally asked.

Meredith sighed. "Der, we really need to talk."
