These kids will be the death of me

Chapter 23 ( Call me)

"Honey I'm home." she said weakly.

"You made it! Thank God!" Derek immediately kissed her.

"Can you push up the morphine, I'm in pain."

"Sure, sure. You're alive." He started to cry.

"Of course dummy; did you think I'd leave you alone with three little girls."

"Speaking of them do you want me to go get them?"
"Let's just enjoy the alone time while we can. I want to see Ellen first thing in the morning."

A week later

"Her heart rate is starting to get week." A nurse said.

"Let me." Meredith wheeled herself to the incubator and let Ellen grab on to her finger.

And the baby's heart started beating with the same strength and Popey when he eats spinaches.

"How did you?" The nurse's mind went blank.

"She missed me."

"Looks like she might miss you more." Lucy said. "You've been extremely well all week and since you're a doctor and you'll know if something is wrong I'm discharging you. Go home stay there until mid-December and you'll be able to do cartwheels."

"How about Ellen?"

"She's out of the woods but she's to tiny and light so she's not leaving until she reaches the two pounds mark."

"What do I do until then?"

"Enjoy having two kids while you still can. Go home."

After being strapped to the wheel chair Derek took her home against her will.

Of course her stubborn self wouldn't allow being away from her baby for so long so she blackmailed the chief into letting her go back to work a week after being home. Even if she had to do scout all day.

"What the hell are you doing here? I thought the Scandinavian sheep wouldn't let you come back until next year or so." Cristina asked noticing her best friend wearing scrubs.

"I pulled some strings around the chief."

"Where are the twins?"

"The Queen of hearts wants to stay for Christmas so they're home with her."

"What do you plan to do all day?"

"Scout."

"I would have stayed home instead."

"But there's nothing against doing it in the NICU."

...

"Hi Ellie! Did you missed mommy much?"

The baby responded in gibberish.

"I missed you too honey." she looked around." According to your chart you're doing great. How about letting me hold you?"

Again baby gibberish.

"If you think I shouldn't hold you say no."

Nothing.

"Good girl, come to mommy."

And she sat on the rocking chair while holding the baby for the rest of the day.

Between being removed from the incubator and falling asleep Ellen looked up and started to giggle.

Derek is soooo screwed...
