Two Weeks Later
Kallye's View
Right now I just felt fat. Like really fat. Alex told me I looked beautiful, but I just felt fat. I wasn't really round yet, but it was obvious I had out on some weight. Alex wrapped his arms around me while I was making breakfast. He rubbed my stomach.
"You look beautiful." He told me.
"I'm fat Alex." I told him.
"No. Kallye. You are so beautiful. I mean it. Your stomach is round and everyone knows you're pregnant." Alex told me looking me dead in the eyes. I sighed and collapsed into his arms sobbing. He held me close and rubbed gentle circles. "Hey shh, what's wrong?" He asked.
"What if we can't do this?" I asked. Alex sighed and held me even closer.
"We can do this babe. I promise. We'll make it work we always do." He assured me. Toby appeared in the kitchen.
"Dad, is mommy okay?" He asked. Alex nodded.
"Yeah kiddo, she's just tired." Alex told him.
"Go watch cartoons, breakfast will be ready in a minute." I told him and pulled away from Alex. Toby nodded.
"I know I said I wasn't excited about the baby, but I really am." Toby told me. I smiled.
"Toby, there are three babies." I told him. We hadn't told the kids I was having triplets yet. Toby grinned.
"I'm going to be the big brother or six other kids?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"That's really cool." He grinned.
"Don't tell your brothers and sisters yet okay?" Alex told him. Toby nodded.
"You know what kiddo, how about we go get McDonald's this morning? Go get everybody ready. Alex help him. I have to do something." I told him. Toby nodded and ran off upstairs. Alex kissed me and then followed him. I sighed and picked up the phone to call my mother. She answered on the third ring.
"Kallye! How's my grandchildren?" She asked.
"Good. Mom I have some news." I began.
"Go on." She said.
"I'm pregnant, with triplets." I told her.
"Oh my, congratulations. How far along are you?" Mom asked.
"Eleven weeks." I told her.
"So you're almost out of the first trimester, that's great." Mom told me.
"I don't know what to do. I don't think I can handle three babies plus the four kids I already have." I said breaking down again.
"Oh honey, I promise you can do this. I will help you for as long as you need." She told me. I sniffed and nodded.
"Okay. Thanks mom." I said smiling.
Derek's View
I loaded Trenton and Courtney up into the car and drove off toward their school.
"Dad?" Trenton asked. I looked away from the road for a second and a car slammed into Trenton's side. My head hit the window and I heard Courtney scream as everything went black. When I woke up I was in a hospital bed. Addison was staring at me.
"Hey Der." She said whipping her eyes.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You were in a car wreck, you had a severe concussion." She told me.
"What about Trenton and Courtney?" I asked.
"Trenton is paralyzed, waist down. There's no cure, his spine was too damaged." Addison told me crying. I unhooked my IV and went over to her. I sat down on the cot and held her.
"Oh Addie, I'm so sorry it's all my fault." I told her as I myself started crying.
Kallye's View
I walked into Derek's room and found him and Addison asleep in his hospital bed. I gently shook Addison awake. She shifted uncomfortably and sat up.
"Courtney's awake." I told her. Addison nodded and climbed out of Derek's bed. She followed me to Courtney and Trenton's room. Trenton had been awake the whole time. He had never lost consciousness. Courtney had a panic attack and collapsed, but later we had learned she had broken some ribs that were puncturing her lung. Cristina had fixed them and Courtney hadn't woken up from the anesthesia until now. Trenton's green wheelchair sat beside his bed. He was having a hard time learning to do things without using his legs. Right now he was playing on his ds. Courtney was half asleep still because her pain medication is so strong.
"Hey baby, how do you feel?" Addison asked.
"Tired." Courtney complained. Addison nodded.
"Aunt Kallye, can you help me? I have to pee." Trenton asked. I nodded and helped Trenton into his wheelchair. I had to make sure he didn't fall over while he used the bathroom. Then I helped him back into his bed. You could tell he was frustrated. My pager went off, Alex was paging me 911 to the ER. I ran to the ER only to find Kimberly being wheeled in on a gurney. She was unconscious and I swear my heart stopped when I saw her. Alex wrapped me in a hug and held me back as I desperately tried to get to Kimberly.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked scared out of my mind.
"She collapsed at school. She appears to be in a coma." Alex said. My heart skipped a beat.
"No! Not my baby girl. Alex what if she doesn't make it? Oh God, she has to make it." I sobbed. Alex held me tight.
"She's going to be okay, calm down. You stress too much and you'll miscarry." Alex warned getting me to sit down. "Someone page Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd!" Alex yelled noticing what I was feeling, I was having a bad panic attack.
Two hours later
I was laying on a bed in the orthopedic floor's on call room. Addison had ordered me to relax and get tons of rest. Turns out Kimberly had type 1 diabetes and her blood sugar had crashed at school sending her into a diabetic coma. She had woken up an hour ago. Alex was watching her while I rested. So much had happened today it was only six in the afternoon. Which meant that a lot could still happen. Kimberly had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and Trenton was paralyzed. I was so exhausted, everyone was. I finally drifted off to sleep.
Enter Dream
Alex stood in a graveyard with six kids. They were staring at a grave site. Actually two grave sites. Toby looked about ten years old. He was a cute kid, his hair had turned a dark brown color and he was tall for his age. Kimberly was about nine, she was crying. Tears flowed out of her blue eyes and cascaded down her freckled face. Whitney and Zachary were seven. Whitney looked so much like me. She stared at the grave intently like she could will the person to come back to life. Zachary's eyes remained fixed on his shoes. Two boys about four stood glued to Alex's side. They were adorable. I wondered where I was. Alex knelt down in front of one grave and placed a red rose on the grave.
"Kallye, God how I wish you were here, and our daughter too. She never even lived. She never got a name." Alex said tears streaming down his face.
End Dream
I woke up crying hysterically. Alex had shaken me awake. I sat up and wrapped him into a hug.
"Woah, Kal what's wrong?" He asked.
"I died. I died and so did one of the triplets." I said sobbing into his scrub top.
"Hey, shh. That's not going to happen, I promise." Alex soothed. He held me until I finished crying. Then he laid with me until I got paged to the ER.
Meredith's View
Trey met me in the on call room.
"Did you page me here?" He asked. I nodded. "Booty call?" He asked. I grinned and nodded. Trey grinned. He pulled off his shirt and kissed me. Afterwards I laid next to him and just ran my hand across his abs. He smiled at me.
"I'm so glad you're mine." I whispered. Trey kissed me.
"Me too." He whispered back. I smiled. Trey was amazing in every way. He was amazing with Cole and Natalie. He was my world, my everything. At the end of the day I picked Cole and Natalie up from day care. Cole looked a lot like Trey. He was really quiet and didn't talk much unless Trey got him talking about Star Wars. Natalie was at the stage in life where she just liked to observe everything around her. Her hair was insanely curly, I loved her hair though it made her twice as cute. Lexie and Eli lived next door, and Matthew was just adorable. He had just started walking so he was always on the go. Trey had started talking about having more kids I was a little afraid of the idea. I liked our family the way it was, just the four of us. I figured he was only thinking about it because Callie, Addison, and Kallye were all pregnant. I decided to stop taking my birth control pills and if it happened, it happened.
