Patrick POV

"So you're pregnant," I repeated again. I can't believe it.

"Yes Patrick, they said they want to do an ultrasound, get your ass over here," she demanded.

"How am I going to get over there?" I asked.

"Hell if I know, get Eric or TR or someone to give you a ride."

"Ok, I'll be there as soon as possible. Love you."

"Hurry, love you too," she hung up the phone.

"Patrick! You're wanted on stage two," one of the producers yelled.

"I need to find Shonda, where is she?" I walked over to the stage and she was sitting along with one of the other writers.

"Yes Patrick?" She took her glasses off and looked up at me.

"Um, I need to ask you a big favor," I started.

"What is it?" She raised her eyebrow.

"I just got a call from Ellen, she has an emergency and said I need to be there, would you mind if I went?"

"As long as you're back in an hour, sure," she nodded.

"Thanks so much Shonda, I will fill you in when I get back," I smiled and she smiled back. Now I needed to find Eric. I went out to the trailers and went to find him, he was in his trailer with Chyler going over lines.

"Eric, I need to talk to you about something," I said loudly and he came out of the trailer.

"What's up?"

"Well I just got a call from Ellen, she needs me to meet her at the doctors office and I was wondering if you could drive me."

"Sure no problem, let me just go grab my keys," he went into his trailer and grabbed his keys, coming out and we walked over to his car. All I could think about was Ellen. This is something we weren't expecting, something I had wanted for a long time but I never said anything. My dream was finally coming true. I was going to be a father again. I had so many emotions but didn't know which one to feel. I was terrified, I was excited, I was nervous, and all together I just hoped this baby was healthy.

"So what's the deal?" He asked as we got down the road, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"No deal, just she is getting some kind of shot and she can't drive after she has it," I lied, I didn't know if Ellen wanted me to tell people.

"Alright," he nodded and didn't ask any more questions. We talked about our plans for after we finish filming and other things. We reached the doctors office within ten minutes.

"Thanks Eric," I said getting out of the car.

"No problem, see you back on set," he then drove off and I walked into the doctors office. I went to the OB section and one of the nurses let me back to go find Ellen.

"Hey baby," I came in the room and hugged her tightly.

"I can't believe it," I said in shock.

"Me either, we're going to have a baby," I said smiling, I was extremely excited. I sat down and Ellen got back on the table just as the doctor came in.

"Hi, I'm Dr Greene, I'll be doing your ultrasound," she smiled and shook each of our hands before sitting down.

Ellen POV

"How far along am I?" I asked worried

"You seem to be about nine weeks," she replied, still taking measurements.

"How am I nine weeks pregnant and I don't even know it!" I questioned.

"Well you were on birth control and I assume you had symptoms but just wrote them off as side effects," she turns the monitor around and you can see a black area with a white blob inside.

"Is that our baby?" Patrick asks, pointing to the white blob.

"Yes, and you can see its head and arms," she pointed.

"We're having a baby," He looks down over at me and smiles.

"We are having a baby," I smiled back at him before returning my eyes to the screen.

"Can I get a picture of the ultrasound?" Patrick asks.

"Sure thing," she smiles and prints out a picture where you can see the arms and legs and head.

"So seeing that you are for sure pregnant, we should take about how you should care for your body," the doctor starts as she puts away the ultrasound machine. She tells us about prenatal care and everything else. After she leaves the room, I put my pants back on.

"Who all do you want to tell?" Patrick asks watching me.

"Um, I don't know. I don't think I want to tell anyone yet, at least not until the second trimester," I suggest.

"Really? No one? Not even your sister?" He asks.

"Well I mean, it's the safest thing to do. The miscarriage percent for women my age is like 30% which may not be a lot but it's still a scary number," I sit back on the exam table.

"Well yes, you are right. Shouldn't you at least tell Shonda though, so she can be prepared for when we start filming next season you can have a little bit of time off or something?"

"I still think we should wait," I shrugs as the doctor comes back in, she hands us a few papers, the ultrasound picture, and a prescription. After that we leave and walk to the car.

"So are we going to tell Shonda?" He asks, glancing over as we stop at a red light.

"If you want to," I finally say, I know I could never win in that arguement, he would keep asking if I didn't just agree.

"We don't have to if you don't want to," he took my hand and held it tightly, I looked into his eyes and his expression said everything. He was so excited about this and I couldn't say no.

"No, we can tell her. And we can tell your mom if you want to but no one else, I don't want anyone else knowing," I repeated.

"Alright, no one else will know," he smiled over at me and squeezed my hand before the light turned green and we were off again. I thought for a while, my mind racing. What if he wasn't really happy about this. How is this going to change us?

"Are you happy about this?" I blurted out and he looked over at me, confusion was written all over his face.

"Happy about what?" His brows furrowed as he looked at me again.

"This, the pregnancy," I looked down and placed my hands on my stomach, there wasn't much there and probably nothing of that was baby.

"Ellie, of course I am happy. We are going to be a family and it will be alright," he gave me a reassuring look.

"Not what I meant, I mean do you think we can handle this?" All the sudden, all the doubt was racing in my mind. Could I do this? Could I be a mother?

"Ellie, we can do anything we set our mind to, this baby is going to be easy. It will make us grow strong. This baby is going to be loved by so many people, it's going to be great," He said as we came to another stop. He grabbed my chin and lifted it up, looking into my eyes before kissing me briefly.

"Ok, we can do this," I mumbled and smiled as our foreheads stayed together.


An; Hey! Alright so I've been thinking and originally I had this all played out in a different way but then I decided to do it this way so here it is. If you have baby name suggestions, feel free to leave them in a review!
