MEREDITH SHEPHERD

I'm nine months pregnant and my water could break any second. Dereks currently working as usual while I'm stuck at home doing nothing.

Derek said his mother was going to come over for a bit, just to make sure I'm okay and everything even though I'm perfectly fine on my own, he still thinks I need help because I'm the size of a whale.

Earlier when I was trying to go back to sleep my mom called me she said that my due date was soon and wanted to know if I needed anything. I told her no because I don't know why she's trying to be a part of any of this when she wasn't happy when she found out I was pregnant.

Derek left me multiple messages and voicemails telling me to call him if I went into labor or if I needed anything, I don't know why he's acting so weird but I hope it stops when the baby's born.

I went into the kitchen to get something to eat we didn't have much so I decided to order a pizza. As I was waiting for the pizza, I went to the bathroom. I went into the downstairs bathroom.

After I finished going to the bathroom I went back into the living room and waited for the pizza.

After a bit, I heard the front door unlock and the door opened, one of Derek's guards walked into the house with a box of pizza.

"The pizza you ordered is here, your husband asked me to pay for it with his card," he said in an Italian accent and set the box down on the coffee table and went back outside locking the door behind him. I opened the box and took out a slice.

After i finished the majority of the pizza i decided to go upstairs and take a nap.

I woke up feeling Derek kissing my forehead, I opened my eyes ad saw Derek sitting next to me and hovering over me.

"When did you get home?" I groaned turning on my side.

"an hour ago, I didn't want to wake you up yet"

"cool, go to sleep with me," I said and pushed him so he was laying on his back and I laid on top of him.

"it's way too early to be sleeping," he said pulling me fully in top of him, making sure to be careful with my back.

"then take a nap"

"I'm not tired" he chuckled.

"go to sleep anyways"

"no, come on," he said sitting up with me and setting me down on the bed.

"where?" I said rubbing my eyes.

"go to the bathroom and I'll make you something to eat," he said getting up and going downstairs.

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. after I finished I washed my hands and went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and Derek was cooking. "how was work?" I asked sitting down at the table with my head in my hands on the table.

"It was good" he replied.

"kill anybody?"

"three men" he answered

"cool, can I go back to sleep?"

"no, I'm making you something to eat, how's the baby?"

"he's fine, he likes playing soccer with my bladder and football with my ribs, so that's nice"

"eat this," he said as he placed a plate of food in front of me.

"thank you"

I ate the food he made me after I went back into the living room. while I was walking I felt something between my legs.

"Derek!" I said starting to panic.

"yea, is everything is okay?" he asked coming into the living room.

"I-uhm"

"Did your water break?" he asked walking beside me and putting his hand on my back.

"I think so"

"Okay, go I the car and grab everything then I'll drive you to the hospital" he said and went upstairs to get the diaper bag.

...

Derek went to go the diaper bag whist Meredith went outside to the car after she grabbed her coat and bag. Meredith got into the car and waited for Derek to come out.

once Derek came outside he loaded the baby carrier and diaper bag into the back before getting into the driver's seat. he put the key in and started the car.

"how do you feel?" he asked pulling out of the driveway.

"I don't know, the contractions haven't started ye- ow!" she said as a contraction came.

"I guess that means the contractions have started," he said and started driving to the hospital.

Derek drove to the hospital. when they arrived they brought Meredith into the hospital and booked an O.R.

Derek sat by Meredith's bedside as another contraction.

"ow, Derek!"

"I know," he said taking her hand into his letting her squeeze his hand as hard as possible until the contraction passed.

"Are you sure about having a C-section?" he asked earning a glare from her.

"I'm not trying to talk you out of it I'm just asking just to be sure, I don't blame you for not wanting to push a baby out of a small hole, not to mention a very, very tight hole" he smirked.

"shut up" she groaned and turned to lay on her side facing away from Derek.

Derek stood up and set on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed her back firmly.

"Okay, continue doing that and I might give you another baby in a few years" she moaned.

"do you think he'll be okay even if he's early?" Derek asked as he continued to rub her back.

"he should be fine, he's not too early if he was any earlier then he might have to stay in the NICU but other than that he'll be fine" she sighed rubbing her hand over her swollen belly.

"and what happens if he's not okay?" he asked starting to get worried.

"he's fine, you don't have to worry about anything" she tried consoling him.

"what if something happens to you or the baby in surgery?"

"that won't happen" she turned over on her other side.

"it would be worse for a natural birth, just be happy you don't have to worry about be having a stillbirth" she groaned closing her eyes, resting her eyes from exhaustion.

"what does that mean?" he asked sitting next to her.

"it means what it sounds like, the baby stays still and ends up dying"

"Okay, Mrs. Shepherd, it's time for your surgery," the doctor said walking into the room.
