These kids will be the death of me

Chapter 6 ( 4th of july )

"Gracie!" Derek went in panic.

"Is she okay daddy?"

"Can you hear me? Sweetie? Please!"

"Daddy why is she sleeping on the floor?"

"Oh please don't do this. Please! I'm already losing mommy I can't lose you too! C'mon Gracie; come on! Please God don't take her yet! Not yet."He was holding her in his arms and couldn't let her go he was in choc; he looked like the rapped girl in those cheesy movies with the eyes wide open holding the knees and bouncing back and forward.

"Daddy talk to me!"

"Please! Please!" then Derek finally remembered to check to pulse.

"Oh thank God! You're alright why don't you wake up?"

Two years of wasted time watching cartoons finally paid off for Ruby; how does one cartoon wake the other? Ruby went back in Derek's room and came back in a water bottle. Then she threw the water in her sister's face.

The minute the water hit her she started to cough and opened her eyes.

"Look daddy she's not sleeping anymore!"

"I was thirsty but not that much! What happened? Daddy why are you crying like you did when you heard Glee singing "I dreamed a dream"?"

"Oh thank god you're okay!"

"Daddy my wrist and leg hurts." said Gracie before starting to cry because of the pain.

Derek checked her leg:

Just a bruise and a splinter; then he looked at her wrist

She had twisted it, no wonder she was crying.

"Sweetheart you have a boo-boo in your leg and I'm taking care of it; then guess what we are visiting mommy because I don't have the things to take care of your hand. Okay?"

Forget it; little kids don't stop crying that easily.

"Gracie, you can have Mr. Pickles and if you want to I'll let you have the chocolate Dr. Lucy gave me since you've already ate yours. Do you want your baby doll?" said Ruby handing her sister the stuffed monkey she carried around with her like Meredith did with Anatomy Jane. When it came to dolls and toys each had a favourite Ruby had the monkey and Grace had this soft pink and purple doll Derek's mom gave her when she was born. Derek had to admit that even Ruby loved to provoke Gracie and vice-versa when one of them got hurt the other wanted to take care of her sister.

2 days later

Ruby was the first one to wake up; if Gracie wanted to sleep with Meredith before now she had to because of the wrist.

It was cloudy and of course it was going to rain just a little bit but it was still hot outside.

Ruby sat on the sleeping bag and played with some dolls. Meanwhile Cristina came through the door holding Karen.

Karen was a baby version of Cristina. The same dark hair, the same dark eyes the same sarcasm... from Owen she had only taken the head shape and the straight hair. She would turn two months the next day. Thankfully for Cristina she was an easy baby around her and Meredith. For everyone's amusement whenever she was near Owen she threw up on him; that would be a really good topic for him to bring up at his daughter sixteenth birthday.

"Hi Ruby. What are you doing up at this time in the morning? It's still six AM."

"I woke up and now I can't fall asleep."

"Then try now. Because we all plan to be up until late and if you fall asleep you won't see the fireworks..."

"Good Night!" in the minute she heard that she got in the sleeping bag and fell asleep within five seconds.

"Is she sleeping yet?" asked Meredith with one eye open.

"All four of them are, now let's chat while they sleep as rocks."

"So do they really want to go watch the fireworks from the roof?"

"I guess so."

"With 3 pregnant women. Good luck getting there before the 5th of July!"

"I just think it will be weird with a baby in my arms and another two that can already walk and climb the stairs this year."

"Correction, two babies in costume."

"Are you really doing that?"

"They look cute dressed like a flag."

The night came and as soon as the first loud noise went out so did Karen. But Cristina placed her finger in her daughter's chest she fell asleep in a second.

But they noticed April flinging within each firework.

"Are you okay?" asked Meredith.

"I think I might be in labor."

Alex face went white; he was more paled than Meredith in the winter.

"Alex don't stand there help her down!" they all yelled.

He was just about to crap all over his scrubs. Holy crap his son was coming.

"Push, push, push!"

"I hate you! My dad has a hammer that can kill an elephant from 40 miles away and believe me he will wear that on you.

After three hours of gasping and yelling with pain Alex and April had their first child Cody.

(The name was obviously chosen by April, Alex wanted to name him Jack but after they met him the name didn't matched).
