they took Meredith into the O.R and started the surgery.

once the surgery was finished the surgeon went outside into the waiting room where Derek sat, his mind was filled with things that could have gone wrong in surgery, she could have bled to death, they could have cut the baby by accident, they could have accidentally cut off the baby's penis instead of the umbilical cord, and it didn't help that he had googled a few things.

"Mr. Shepherd?" the doctor asked walking up to him.

"yes," he answered standing up.

"The surgery went well, your wife is currently in her room, and a nurse will bring you your baby when you are ready to see him," the doctor told him.

"thank you," he said before walking back into Meredith's room.

he found Meredith fast asleep in bed, he sat down on the side of the bed and kissed her forehead. he sat down on the chair next to the bed, the nurse then brought the baby in with the small baby crib.

she pushed the baby inside the room before taking the baby out and into Derek's arms.

"he is small, he weighs only 5 pounds and 8 ounces, but he will gain weight as he gets older" she smiled

"he is very cute and looks just like his mother" she added

"thank you," Derek smiled as he took the baby.

the nurse smiled and nodded her head before leaving the room. he rocked the fussy baby until he was quiet. the baby calmed into his arms pressing his cheek against Derek's chest before opening his eyes.

he had the same bright blue eyes as Derek did, Derek smiled looking down at the small infant before leaning down and pressing his lips to his forehead.

he leaned back into the seat gently rocking the baby as he did so, and closed his eyes, as he was starting to get comfortable the baby started to fuss. he didn't want him to wake Meredith, he held the baby's head with his other hand on the baby's back and laid him down on his chest.

his face furrowed a bit before moving his head getting comfortable with his chubby cheek onto Derek's silk-covered chest closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

the baby continued to sleep on Derek's chest while Meredith stirred awake, she looked to her left and saw both her boys fast asleep on the chair. Derek held his son softly and yet protectively so he wouldn't slip down his chest.

Meredith made herself comfortable before feeling a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. she pushed away from the covers slightly and pulled up her gown to see a bandage over the wound where they had cut. it was painful but it was better than having her vagina stretched out to the point where she needed stitches.

she watched as both Derek and Greyson slept before her eyes started to fall shut, she closed her eyes and fell back asleep.

the next morning Derek woke up with a sleeping baby on his chest. both his hands were still on the baby, he stood up and laid the baby back onto the small crib before going over to Meredith's bedside.

she was still asleep, he leaned down to brush his lips over her forehead. he then noticed as he pulled away that her gown was pulled up. he carefully moved her gown back to normal and pulled the covers over her a bit.

he hadn't told anyone that Meredith had gone into labor nor had he told them she had the baby, he decided that now wouldn't be a bad time to call them. he stepped outside of the room a bit and called his mother, he figured calling only his mother would be enough as she would most likely tell the whole family which she did when all her grandchildren were born.

the phone rang a few times before she picked up, it was very early in the morning so that explains why it took her a bit to answer.

"Hello?" he heard his mother's tired voice on the other end.

"Hi ma, I'm sorry to wake you so early in the morning, but I thought you should know that Meredith went into labor last night. she had a C-section and everything went well and the baby was born healthy" he smiled through the phone.

"That's wonderful! is Meredith alright after the surgery?" she said sounding more awake at the news of her grandson being born.

"Yes, she seems fine, she's still asleep which is a good thing. but yes they're both doing well"

"how much does he weigh?"

"he was considered small weight, he weighs 5 pounds and 8 ounces"

"that is very small, does he look very small?"

" he looks small, but the nurse says he'll gain weight as he gets older," he said standing over Greyson, running his hand over his small head.

"me and your father getting ready to come over right now, well, your father is still getting out of bed but we will be there soon. have you told any of your sisters?"

"No, not yet you can tell them if you want."

"I'll see you soon," she said before ending the call.

he put the phone back into his pocket. he heard Meredith start to stir awake, he turned to see her. he smiled walking over to her and kissing her soft lips.

"Is he asleep?" she asked as soon as she started to sit up.

"yes at the moment he is, but I'm pretty sure he'll wake up soon" he helped her sit up against the bed.

"I assume he slept well last night? with you?" she smiled at the memory.

"yes, he was fussing and I didn't want to wake you" he sat down on the edge of the bed.

they talked about the baby and how much he weighed and some other things like where the baby was going to stay in their room or the nursery they had not yet finished.

the nurse then came into the room to interrupting them.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but it is time to try breastfeeding," the nurse said.

Meredith nodded as the nurse picked up the baby whilst Meredith untied her gown. the nurse handed the baby to Meredith and positioned the baby correctly and let the baby latch on. it took a bit but he soon latched on.

if there's anything you would like to see let me know, suggestions are always welcomed!
