Derek and Renee

Chapter 19

Meredith's POV

I heard screaming and ran outside. I left the kids. I ran down to the beach and saw Derek swimming. He got sucked under. He didn't come back up. I quickly swam to look for him and got caught in the riptide. I found him and his body was heavy. I grabbed his boxers and pulled him with me. We finally got out of the riptide and I pulled him to the shore. I grabbed my phone and quickly called 911. I started CPR. He wasn't breathing. I put my hands on his chest and did hand compressions. I gave him mouth to mouth. I did this until I heard the ambulance come. The ambulance couldn't drive onto the beach. I kept my CPR pace. Medics started coming with a gurney.

"We'll switch off" a medic said

I got off of Derek and we immediately switched. I started crying and they got him onto the journey. I walked with them to the ambulance. They helped him up, still giving him CPR. He looked cold.

"Go into the fire truck we'll bring him to the nearest hospital" the medic said shutting the doors

The fire truck was next to me.

"Ma'am" this woman said

I looked at her and wiped my eyes

"My kids" I said

I walked past her and went inside. I went upstairs.

"Kids get ready quickly. We have to go" I said

I went into Lexie's room and grabbed her little baby bag. I picked her sleeping body up and put her in her baby carrier. I grabbed a little baby blanket and wrapped her up. I brought her downstairs and the kids were with me. We walked outside.

"We'll take you to the hospital. Just hop in" the woman said

I went up to the side of the fire truck and this man put his hand out. I gave him the baby carrier and the woman helped the kids up. I grabbed the mans hand and got up. They both went into the drivers seat and started driving. The kids were sitting in their seats and I was with Lexie across from them. We finally arrived at the hospital and they both helped us off.

"Hey guys" the man said

"Here" he said giving each of them little fire jackets

"Aw cool" Bailey said

"This looks amazing" Zola said

I looked at the man

"Thank you" I mouthed

He nodded and smiled. The kids put their jackets on because it was a little cold in this part of town. We walked in and I went straight to the nurses station

"Dr. Shepherd he was caught in a riptide" I said

"He's in surgery. Go wait in the waiting room with everyone else" she said

I took the kids and went to the waiting room. They weren't that busy today. Lexie started waking up. I picked her up out of her carrier and held her. She was looking up at me smiling and I couldn't help but smile. I wiped my tears and started playing with her finger.

"Mom what's wrong" Zola asked

"Your dad got stuck under water. He's in surgery" I said staring at the little baby

I felt someone hug my side. I looked down and Ellis was hugging me. She put her head in my side and I wrapped my arm around her. I held Lexie in my other arm. Bailey laid on Ellis and Zola laid on Bailey. I held my arm around all of them. After 2 hours I still haven't heard anything. The kids were asleep on me. Addison came up to me

"Hey. I just heard" she said

I nodded. She sat down next to me and rubbed Lexie's little curls back. She started stretching and got a little fussy. She was hungry

"I can you watch my kids for a second. I have to feed her" I asked

"Yeah of course" Addison said

I slowly lifted Ellis's head off of me. I held Lexie and walked down the hall. I went into the bathroom and locked the door. No one was in here. I lifted my shirt and unclipped my bra. I put her under my shirt and she latched on. I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were puffy and red. I had tear stains all over my cheek. I lifted Lexie up more. She started sucking harder on my nipple. I winced a little. She was really hungry. She finally slowed down and I took her out of my shirt. I laid her next to the sink and put my bra with my milk pads in them on. I grabbed Lexie and burped her over my shoulder. I held her in my arms and unlocked the door. I walked out of the room and went back to my seat. I sat back down where I was and put Ellis's head into my lap. I put Lexie in her baby carrier.

"Thank you" I told Addison

"No problem. Well I have to get to work, but I'll make sure to come back when I can" she said

"Ok" I nodded

She rubbed my back for a second and got up. She left. About 3 hours later I saw the surgeon walk out. I stood up.

"Hi Dr. Grey" he said holding his hand out

"Hi" I said shaking it.

"So your husband had major fluid in the lungs. He has to stay here for a day for us to make sure he's properly breathing. He has to use an inhaler for about a month. Would you like to see him" he asked

"Yes" I said wiping my tear away

The kids were playing on Zola's iPad.

I grabbed Lexie's carrier

"Come on kids" I told the kids and they got up

We all went to Derek's room in the icu.

"I'll leave you guys" the surgeon said

I walked into the room.

"Guys go sit right there" I said pointing to the couch by the wall.

Derek was still asleep. He looked terrible. He wasn't glowing or anything. I put Lexie's carrier down next to me and held dereks hand. An hour later I saw his eyes fluttering open.

"Hey" he said groggy

"You scared me" I smiled

"I'm right here" he said squeezing my hand and smiling.

I stood up and kissed his lips. He sat up

"Can I hold her" he said pointing to Lexie

I laughed and bent down. I took Lexie out of her carrier and gave her to Derek. She looked up at him and started giggling. He started tickling her. The kids came next to me and I sat them on his bed. Zola was next to him and Bailey was next to his leg. Ellis was in between the bottom of his leg. Derek looked up at me and smiled.

"I love this. All of this" he smiled

"Me too" I said kissing his lips

"Ewww" the kids said

We started laughing. The doctor came in

"Dr. Shepherd we already told your wife, you have to stay here for another day to get your lungs full again. You are going to have to use an inhaler for about a month or two. Your lungs were badly damaged from all the water and sand" he said

"Thank you" Derek said tickling Lexie

The doctor left the room.

"Give me the baby" I said

"What" he smiled still looking down at her

"You need to worry about yourself" I said

"Fine" he smiled handing me Lexie

I held her until she fell asleep. Derek and the kids were talking. He took a couple pumps of his inhaler. I put Lexie in her carrier and sat on the chair next to her.

I like how he literally murdered Renee and we're all like 'Awwww she passed away Aw alright'😁😁 MERDER FOR THE WIN BOP😏
