These kids will be the death of me

Chapter 5 ( Can we see the baby now )

Meredith had seen the baby every day, when you have a hostile uterus and a pregnancy that's too much for your body to handle an ultrasound every day it's not a bad idea.

But that day it would be the twins turn; it was still too early to know the sex; Derek wanted to take the girls to the ultrasound when it was supposed for them to know if they were having a boy or girl but they really wanted to see their little brother or sister, Meredith and Derek couldn't say no to them.

Ruby was starting to get used to the idea of another baby in the house; in fact just to piss Gracie off she said she wanted a brother so he could play Prince Charming, while Gracie was sick of saying she wanted a sister because boys here stupid an her daddy was the only good one. Derek wished she would stay that way forever.

"Are we seeing the baby now, mommy?"

"I'm seeing Dr. Lucy with the ultrasound machine so I'm guessing yes."

"Dr. Lucy, are we having a sister or a brother?" asked Gracie, since she knew about the baby she had been really excited and shouting from the roof tops about the new baby.

"It's too early sweetie, if we get lucky we'll known in a few weeks, okay?"

"Okay."

"I have to say, I'm surprised you're both still here, I thought this wasn't going to last but we still have a strong heart beat, and everything seems to be okay."

"If we both make it, you'll be pissed."

"Well, I was hoping I didn't have to say this but from now on it's the hard part, it's likely for you to miscarriage, the baby will run out of space and your fibroids aren't going to make it any easier for you, you'll have a lot more drugs to take, I don't know how you'll react, you can start to bleed like hell any time without any warning, don't get me started with the lost of conscience..."

"I know you don't have to do that huge speech."

"Depending on your reaction to the drugs the baby can develop problems; even known everything it's okay it can go down the drain any minute; you can predict surgeries on both of you probably from a lot of different departments and if I were you I wouldn't trust in the due day because there's a ninety-nine percent chance of it being born premature, it will be a miracle if you can make it to seven months."

"The baby will hit viability around six."

"But at that age there's also a 50% chance of survival."

"I went to med. school I know that."

"Are you still sure about this."

"You say that every day."

"Because you're pregnant and it takes you three seconds to change your mind."

"What do you want me to say? I'm terrified as H-E-L-L is that it? But I won't change my mind; I know this is sure to K-I-L-L me but I'm a fighter I was all my life and all the things you said I have the other day are what is keeping me here. I'm not going anywhere. And if I can get to six months I'm already halfway there."

"When are you going to stop talking and let me see my baby sister?" asked Grace beating with her feet on the floor.

"No, we're having a baby brother. Mommy and Daddy already have us as girls." replied Ruby just to piss her sister off. She is an angel but when it comes to her sister they peck each other to death like ducks, sometimes they even bite just to make my metaphor make more sense.

"Well for my next trick I'll need one of you girls to spread this cold gel in mommy's belly." said Lucy to stop the fratricide with missing steroids.

"Want to." said Grace.

"Gracie what's the magic word? Dr. Lucy won't let you do it if you don't say it."

"Can I please do it?"

"Sure. Now I'm turning on this machine and your new baby will appear ready?"

"Yes."

"No." Ruby never lets Gracie happy about the baby.

"See that's the head, there's an arm. And that sound it's the baby's heart beating. Still no problems detected. Hope to start seeing them from now on."

"How cute that is. Mommy when daddy gets back can he take us for ice cream?"

"Sure."

"Yay!" said them before going back to the crayons and dolls.

"The attention two and a half year olds can pay..."

That night Meredith stayed alone in the hospital; all the other couples were coming back from vacation that day and Derek switched he's vacations for meddle July when he would already worked with the interns and the chiefs of the other departments would be back. That day the twins slept at home but Grace couldn't sleep.

So like she was alone in her room she started to play with the toys for an hour but eventually got bored. What could a two year old do at eleven o'clock when your dad and sister are asleep and you don't want to do the same? She didn't know either but she was thirsty so maybe there would be some apple juice in the kitchen.

She opened the door and tried to reach the light switch but she as to short to do it so she went back in the room and this time brought an old chair with her.

The minute she was almost getting to the switch... one of the chairs legs broke and all you heard was a scream followed by an unconscious child on the floor.

"Gracie!"

Uh oh
