Thanks for the concern and reviews everyone! I am feeling almost 100% better! Anyways I have an entire week off starting today so expect some updates within the next week! Thanks for everyone's input on the names, I'm just confused on what the baby's sex should be now!
Meredith walked down the hall of the second floor of the house as she heard a drill going. She walked into the nursery to see Derek crouched over a piece of wood that he was screwing together. She giggled slightly as she pulled her long sweater tighter around her stomach. Derek looked up at her as he dusted his hands of the sawdust.
"You've been working on the crib for almost two hours and you've gotten that far?" asked Meredith.
"What are you doing out of bed?" asked Derek with a smile. "You're supposed to be resting."
Meredith at almost the last month of her pregnancy had started to experience Braxton Hick's contractions. Addison had put her on bed rest and limited activity since she had hit seven and a half months.
"Just walking around." said Meredith as she sat down in the wooden rocking glider. "I can't believe it's almost finished."
The room had been painted a nice pale yellow and the carpet a nice plushy tan. The rocking chair a nice cherry color, to match the changing table and soon to be finished crib.
"You really shouldn't be out of bed, you know the baby could come any day now." warned Derek.
"And shouldn't you be finished with crib." teased Meredith with a smirk as she wrapped her arms tighter around herself after experiencing a chill from the early March air. "Maybe you should get Mark to come over and help. Or I can get Cristina to ask Owen."
"Mere, I can handle putting together a crib for my son or daughter. It's just taking longer than thought." said Derek.
Meredith rolled her eyes as she folded a blanket and placed it inside the dresser. "Alright." said Meredith. "I'm going to bed. Please don't stay up too late." said Meredith as she kissed the top of his head.
"I won't I'll be in a few minutes." said Derek as he placed a piece of wood on top of another. It held for a few minutes before crashing. "Or a few hours."

Meredith awoke the next morning and rolled over throwing her arm over expecting to feel Derek. When she didn't she opened her eyes alarmed. She quickly pulled on her silk plum bathrobe as she waddled her way out of the room. She saw the nursery door open with the morning light shining through and walked inside. There in all its pride and glory stood the crib completely finished with the mobile attached. She looked around and that's when her eyes hit the rocking chair where she saw a sleeping Derek. She giggled slightly as she made her way over to the chair and gently started to play with his hair at the nape of his neck. When his eyes fluttered open she gently kissed his lips.
"You finished." said Meredith.
"Told you I would." said Derek with a grin as he sat up in the chair and stretched his arms up.
Meredith nodded with an amused smile as she looked around the room. "It's finally finished."
Derek nodded. "Ready for when the baby is."
Meredith nodded she looked around the room for a few more minutes before turning back to Derek. "I don't think I had a nursery." said Meredith as Derek looked at her. "Like I've been trying to figure out if I did, and I remember getting a room when I was a toddler but I've never seen pictures and there's no crib hidden in the garage at my house." said Meredith.
Derek continued to look up at her for a few moments before slowly pulling her onto his lap. Even at almost nine months pregnant, Meredith was still pretty light-weight. He gently pressed a kiss to her forehead as they both continued to marvel at the room.
"I had to share a room with Grace till I was five and when I was a baby I think I had to share with Nancy or Kathleen." said Derek.
Meredith smiled. "They'll never have to share a room right?" asked Meredith as she shifted slightly. "I mean if we have more kids." rambled Meredith. "They won't have to share right?"
"I think we've got enough room." laughed Derek as they both stood up. Derek began walking to the door as he watched Meredith put a hand to her stomach, not thinking much of it. "Now I have to be at work in a little while but why don't I get some quick breakfast started." said Derek.
"I don't think you want to go to work." said Meredith in a nervous shaky voice as she continued to hold onto her stomach.
"Why not?" asked Derek as he stood in the middle of the room a few feet away from where Meredith stood by the rocking chair.
"Because I think I'm going into labor."
Uh-oh! Want to know what happens next? Reviews make my day =)
