Derek woke up at 5.59 AM. He looked around to see the window, the door, Ellen's crib to be moved to the nursery within two months, his beloved wife, the alarm clock...

Oh shit! He thought. I programmed their alarm clock to ring in a minute.

He quickly sat up and woke up Meredith.

"What the?"

"They're about to wake up!"

"Oh Shit!"

"I can hear them in the hall."

"Derek I 'm scared!"

The shriek's magnified, the door creaked open and:

"We're three!" The twins shouted while spinning around the room.

"We'll have a long day ahead..."

Since Caroline had been away from New York for so long she didn't came to her granddaughter's birthday. So our dear April volunteered to babysit Ellen with Alex reluctantly agreeing after 16 beers. They already had a crying baby at home all day, what could another one do?

In the morning they went to the movies: Disney movie, half an hour long, Mickey, Minnie, the other talking animals out of proportion, the twins eyes on the screen, Derek' s eyes closed, Meredith's on the popcorn bucket.

After their first trip at McDonald's (the day was filled with premieres, they had never been to the movie theater, never ate fast food, been alone with just Meredith and Derek since Ellen came home) they went home for a nap.

"We can't possibly sleep! It's our birthday."

"If you don't you'll be sleeping when the cake time rolls around and you won't have any."
"You can wake us up!"

"Or let you sleep and eat all the cake ourselves."

"Don't speak so loud we're trying to get some sleep here!"

Following nap time it was the first trip to the circus. It went reasonably well, except for Grace revealing her fear of clowns. But the Russian knife throwing duo Boris and Natasha (watch Bones season 4 ep.12 if you want to see their act) gave Meredith a couple of ideas for the next time she and Derek are alone for the night.

At seven AM people started to show up; Cristina Owen and Karen now almost one, April and Alex bringing back Ellen and Cody as well, the chief (he was been lonely since Adele passed way), Bailey, Teddy, Mark and Lexie and Matt so on.

"Mewedif!" said Karen when she saw her godmother.

"Cristina your kid can talk!"

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, her first words were aorta and myocardium."

"Why would she say that?"

"Because she's a future cardio goodness in training."

Then when they moved to the kitchen they found April sitting on the island stool stuffing herself with pretzels, chips and chocolate chip ice cream.

"April are you okay?"

"What? Sure! Ah... No I'm pissed at Alex."

"What did Evil spawn did this time knocked you up again?" Sarcastic Cristina.

"How did you guess?"

"Wait you are?"

"Yeah I'm due in October. Just months after I put a boy out in this world he "blesses me" with another kid!"

"Maybe it won't be that bad. I have three and I'm alive..." Meredith tried to cheer her up.

"When I was a baby I was an Angel, but he had to get his dad's stupid DNA and keep me up all freaking night!"

"At least you can hope for another boy so you won't have to dress them... oh I forgot I'm talking to perky, this time you can have a girl and dress her in whatever stupid way you want." This is Christina at her best.

"I wanted to have another kid but two years from now!"

"Hun you're prego and you don't believe in the only way out. So you stuffing yourself with candy and hope that will pay in the form of a bubbly daughter it the best thing you can do."

A lot of news came at this Party... why am I saying a lot there were only two.

But let's not forget the birthday song:

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday,

Ruby and Gracie

Happy birthday to you!
