Chapter 5: babies and sick children
Ok for Chapter 5 I skipped about three months which will explain what happens to Meredith, Derek, Zola, Bailey, and Amelia.
This morning I woke up to Derek making coffee, and Amelia making breakfast burritos. I knew that Amelia has been craving spicy foods for the past week. Today is both Amelia, and my 22 ultrasound to see how our babies are doing. Derek is excited to see our twins and find out what we are having, and to find out what Amelia is having. "Derek I'm scared about what the ultrasound tech will find with this baby" said a nerves' Amelia. "Amy I think this baby will be fine'' explained Derek. Before I knew it was time to go to the ultrasound.
"Dr. Grey and Dr. Shepherd" said the ultrasound technician. The technician told Amelia and myself that we could chose who goes first. Amelia wanted to go first. Everything that Amelia was worried about had come to a pause when the technician said that the baby's brain was developed like a normal baby. The technician also told Amelia that she was expecting a daughter. I was excited to have a niece that would be close in age with the twins. The next thing I remember is Derek getting called to the day-care because Bailey started running a fever, and vomiting. "Meredith Bailey is sick and I need to go get him" explained Derek. "Okay I'll wait for you to come with sick Bailey'' explained Meredith.
A few minutes later Derek returned with Bailey, and Zola. I asked Derek why he took Zola out until he explained that Zola was complaining about a sore throat and has a slight ever. The next thing I remember is the technician saying that the twins are girls. Both Derek and I were excited to find out that we were expecting twins. After the ultrasound I took the children home while Derek and Amelia went to work. When I got home I put Bailey and Zola to bed so they could rest and maybe feel better. After I put the kids to bed I went into the empty bedroom that had Bailey's old crib in it. I was thinking of what we should decorate the girl's room, and thinking wither or not Amelia would want to put her child with our girls. I couldn't believe that we were going to have twin daughters I thought of some names that might be suitable for the twins.
When Derek came home he wanted to talk about names for the girls. One of the names that Derek liked was Lexie Caroline Grey Shepherd, as it is the name of both my half-sister who died in the plane crash and Caroline after his mother. One of the names I liked was Ellis Marie Grey Shepherd, I thought Ellis was a pretty name that and she could be named after her grandmother. Derek loved the names so we decided on naming the girls Lexie and Ellis. We were excited for Lexie and Ellis' arrival even though it is almost 3 months away. Before I knew it we ended up going to the emergency room with Zola who was screaming because she was in pain. I had Bailey in my arms who was still sick with a fever he hadn't vomited in a few hours but he was complaining about his ear. Derek wanted Bailey to get checked out to make sure he was okay.
Amelia came in and asked what was wrong with her niece and nephew. The next thing I remember is having Bailey diagnosed with an ear infection. While we found out that Zola had strep throat. I felt hopeless for my children as I couldn't do anything because they were sick.
