Chapter 15: Meredith's surprise she wasn't expecting.
I may be one of those mothers who are self-centered when they are talking to other mothers about my children. Being a mother of a younger son, identical twins, and my lovely Zola it's hard to imagine life without them. But lately I have been tired and worn down and have a hard time keeping down any food but hey I guess it's just the stomach bug. I hope it's not anything horrible that I will die from because I am just getting into this new life that I love and my children need me.
When I was walking the 4 children I started to vomit and Derek came and asked if I was okay because he was worried about me because the last time I was like this was 18 months ago before we found out about Lexie and Ellis. I can't be pregnant again as Lexie and Ellis are only 9 months old and they need me. If I am pregnant Derek and I are going to have to clean out one of the rooms that is full of storage items. I really hope that the next child I have is another boy because Bailey needs a little brother to play with.
This morning when I went to go to work I vomited again so I decided that it was time to go see Arizona to find out what is going on. Derek thinks that I have the flu that April can't get rid of even though Jackson and April are fighting I think they are having a baby. When I got to work I saw Arizona with Derek and we found out that I was indeed pregnant again but I also found out that I'm further along than I thought because I thought I was around 8 weeks but I am actually 14 weeks which would mean this baby will be born sooner than both Derek and I expected. We love the idea of having another baby but we aren't sure if we want to have another baby after this one because we already have 4 kids and with this one we will have 5.
When Derek and I returned home for the night we decided that it was time we told Zola and Bailey about the new baby because they were excited when we told them about Lexie and Ellis. I started to cook dinner when Zola came home with Amelia, and baby Olivia when Amelia asked me how she could surprise Owen with something for their daughter's birthday that is coming up shortly. "Well Amelia we have a surprise for the family for Lexie and Ellis's birthday but if you would like we can tell you now." I told her. "Meredith it's only in a few weeks I can wait unless you are excited." She told me. "Well Amelia we are expecting another child and we are excited about the new baby on the way." I told Amelia.
Amelia was shocked that we were expecting another child because she thought we were down after the birth of the twins because of the scare that we had with our son Bailey. I actually didn't mind the idea of another child because I grew up alone and had no siblings to rely on. I know that I have siblings now but I never grew up with them and I would give any day to have grown up with them because I love them even if Lexie is dead and Maggie is the only sister that actually talks to me.
A/N: so I decided that 5 years later wasn't fitting into this story and neither was growing up shepherds so I decided I would recreate those stories but make them follow this storyline. Sorry the chapter is so short but I hope to have more to this story with in the next few days, and for those that liked the old version's I am going to make it better than the originals which I hope to have 5 years later chapter 1 done by tonight.
