So this is the final chapter and again, another one of my stories is coming to and end.
How sad...
Well do not fret my pals, I will be back with another chapter to my other story and have more plot ideas up my sleeve.
I am just going to get on with the show and I hope you all enjoy!
Amelia and Owen shared a look, Zola's voice not as perky and happy as usual.
"Zola? Where are you?"
"We came home to surprise you and aunt Maggie and nobody is home" The disappointment was present in her voice making Amelia's heart break, but then she realised- they came home!
"Are you in the big house?" Owen jumped out of bed and looked out the window on the far side of the trailer, turning around with a smile when he spotted Meredith's same old car at the top of the hill next to the house.
"Yeah but nobody is home. Mommy needs help" Amelia's stomach churned as she ran out the door with Owen, the pair of them trudging up the hill.
"Zo I am in the trailer we are coming now. What is wrong with mommy?"
"She is bleeding aunt Amy. There's blood" Amelia got next to the car, huffing before sprinting to the door, knocking loudly.
"Zo sweetie open the door it's me and uncle Owen. We are here to help mommy" There was a beep ending their phone call, Zola coming to the door with a huge smile on her face, wrapping her arms around Amy's waist tightly.
"I've missed you aunt Amy" She said, Amy leaning down and hugging her back.
"I have missed you to ZoZo and I promise we are going to sit down and you can tell me all about your adventure but I need to help Mommy okay? Can you take your brother and sit on the couch for me really good?" She nodded and hugged Owen quickly, before running to the couch were Bailey was sitting patiently in his pram. Amelia ran straight to the kitchen when she could here Meredith's pained grunts, her breath hitching slightly when she saw the huge baby bump.
"You're pregnant!?"
"No I just got fat" She heaved out, a cry escaping her lips snapping Amelia and Owen out of their shocked haze. The blood blood around Meredith, panicking the two.
"We need to get you to the hospital. Can you make it to the car or should we call an ambulance?"
"Take me to the car. I am not being sedated in an ambulance" She cried out, Owen nodding, helping her stand.
"Owen follow me with Zola and Bailey" He nodded and helped Meredith into the car, running back to get the kids.
"Come on ZoZo, we are going to follow Mommy to the hospital in my car okay?"
"Is our baby sister going to be okay?"
"Your baby sister and Mommy are going to be just fine, we gotta hurry now okay?" She nodded, Owen getting Bailey out the car and grabbing his car seat, carrying him down the hill with Zola attached tightly at his hip.
Amelia drove as quickly as she could, Meredith's cries in the back of the car becoming unbearable.
"I am sorry for leaving" She panted out, Amelia looking at her through the mirror with a smile.
"Don't worry about that, nobody is mad"
"I found out I was pregnant and I panicked" Amelia understood. Finding out she was pregnant with Derek's baby after he was dead must have been a shock.
"Well let's hope this one get's his hair" Meredith laughed, leaning her head back onto the chair, closing her eyes.
"No Meredith you stay awake. Damnit stay awake, I am not going to lose you" She dialled Arizona and Bailey on a group call, the two answering almost in sync.
"Are you both at the hospital?"
"Yes we are, what is going on?" Arizona answered, Amelia looking back at Meredith who's breathing was more laboured than before.
"Damnit wake up! Meredith is here, she is in bad shape"
"We will meet you at the emergency entrance" Bailey answered, Amelia nodding and hanging up, speeding slightly down the road.
"Meredith please answer me, come on Mere" There was no answer, Amelia concerned as the blood continued to stain her top. She screeched to a stop at the entrance, Bailey running to her with a gurney, Alex behind her.
"She is in the back, she is losing too much blood"
"Why did you call me"?" Arizona asked, though when they opened the door the question was answered.
"That's why she ran. She was pregnant and she freaked" Everyone immediately understood, nodding and helping get her on the gurney.
"We need to take her straight up to the ER" Arizona said, Alex rubbing Amelia's arm before taking off after the two women, Amelia standing in shock, Meredith's blood smeared all over her hands. Owen pulled up a few seconds later, Zola running up to Amelia.
"Come on, they took mommy inside so we have to wait okay?" Zola nodded, taking Amelia's shirt in her hands. Owen carried Bailey in his arms, the two walking to the waiting room.
1 painful hour later
Amelia couldn't help the sob that escaped her lips as she spotted Arizona walk out the double doors, a small pink bundle in her arms.
"She looks just like him" She said with teary eyes, Zola clapping happily as she watched Amelia take her little sister in her arms, sitting down for Zola and Bailey to see.
"She is beautiful" Amelia said with a smile, helping Zola sit down so she could hold her.
"How is Meredith?" She asked quickly, grasping Owen's hand.
"She lost a lot of blood but Alex and Bailey are working on her now. She was table when I left but I got to get back. I will send Alex out when we have more information" They nodded, watching as she left. Really she should have taken baby Shepard to the NICU but she knew they all needed a moment. The baby was in perfect health so the NICU could wait for now.
"Mommy wanted to call her Ellis Amelia Shepard. She has a name like you aunt Amy" Zola said with a smile, Amelia taking baby Ellis out of her hands, giving Owen a hold while she grasped the tiny hands in admiration.
"Ellis Amelia, has a ring to it don't you think?" She laughed, Owen smiling with a nod.
"Hand's like her daddy, eyes like her mommy" He said, Amelia nodding in total agreement.
"The next Ellis to become a famous surgeon I should think" They all hovered over baby Ellis, Zola sitting on Amelia's knee, burying her head into her neck.
4 hours later
Meredith twitched her hand, grasping the one that was laid on top of it.
"Hey look who decided to join us" Alex laughed, sitting on the other side of the bed. Meredith smiled slightly, opening her eyes to see everyone she loved sitting and standing around her bed. Alex, Maggie, Owen, Bailey, Callie, Arizona, Richard, Zola, Baby Bailey, and finally, Amelia with a pink blanket in her hands.
"Is she okay?" She croaked out, a tear rolling down her cheek which Maggie wiped away.
"Baby Ellis Amelia is just fine" Amelia said with a grin, walking to hand over the baby, Meredith laughing tearfully.
"I told aunt Amy the babies name Mom" Zola exclaimed, Maggie stroking her hair with a smile.
"You did just as I told you to Zola" Meredith commented, Amelia felling her heart flutter as she stood back up, allowing Meredith her moment with baby Ellis. Over the next few hours everyone had their moments with Meredith, Amelia being the last as she had dozed off on the couch in her ICU room.
"Amelia" Meredith called out, Arizona having taken Ellis to sleep in the NICU leaving the two alone.
"Amelia!" She shouted again, Amelia jumping up half asleep.
"I'm so awake right now" Meredith laughed, patting the side of the bed next to her for Amelia to sit. She took the woman's hand in her own, taking Amelia by surprise.
"I never meant to hurt any of you"
"Nobody blames you. You did what your instinct told you to do. What matters is you came back, that is all anyone cares about"
"It was selfish of me to run. I should have just asked for help" Amelia shook her head, looking down slightly.
"I am hypocritical if I say running was wrong of you, I think in one way or another we are all the same. We have all run when things got scary for us. You did what you thought was best in the moment but you are back, and that is all we need. You, Zola, Bailey and Ellis are in perfect health and you are back" Meredith smiled, squeezing her hand as she leaned her head back, closing her eyes.
"Thank you for being my sister. I know you don't have to and have a lot back at home but, thank you"
"Thank you for being mine. You could kick me out and send me home but you haven't" Meredith opened her eyes again and looked at her, a sad smile on her face.
"Derek would be so proud of you" Amelia smiled, nodding as she looked down.
"Derek would be proud of us all. He is the reason any of us are even here. He saved us all" Meredith nodded knowingly, knowing that nobody would be where they were today if it wasn't for his hard work and love.
"Well, it's a beautiful day to say lives"
I thought this would be a good place to end this story. Everyone is happy and it is a hell of a better ending than Amelia and Meredith constantly hating on each other. I like it when they actually get along (as you can clearly see and will be able to see in later stories)
I hope you all enjoyed and don't forget to drop me a review!
