"Mer! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Amy jumped next to Meredith's bed
"Hmm.." Meredith groaned as she was still tired
"Come on! Wake up! We need to go downstairs!" Amelia pulled the blankets away
"Hey, hey. What's going on here?" Carolyn asks as she walks into the girls' bedroom
"It's Christmas mommy! We need to go downstairs! Amelia gasped
"Why don't you go already, Mer and I will be there in a minute" Carolyn promises
"Okay!" Amelia ran out if the room so Carolyn made her way over to Meredith's bed where the blonde girl was laying down with her stuffed animal
"Hi honey, how did you sleep?" Carolyn asked and brushed some hairs out of Meredith's face
"Kay" Meredith quietly said as Carolyn put on a pair of gloves and emptied the catheter bag that was strapped to Meredith's leg
"Daddy's baking pancakes, do you wanna try some?" Carolyn tried to distract Meredith while she got the little girl ready. She was now inserthing the meds into Meredith's nebulizer to clean her airway
"Chocolate chip?" Meredith softly smiled
"Yep!" Carolyn smiled
"I can try" Meredith smiled with the mask strapped over her face
"Now take deep deep breaths, baby" Carolyn reminded Meredith as she rubbed the tiny girl's back
"Hi" They suddenly heard Derek's voice
"Hi" Meredith smiled at him
"Hi Derek, is there something?" Carolyn asked the boy with a smile
"Mom, dad's asking if you and Mer will be downstairs soon"
"Tell him we'll be there in about five minutes" Carolyn smiled at her son before strapping off the mask and kissing Meredith's head softly
Carolyn lifted Meredith up in her arms when Meredith whimpered
"I wanna take it off" Meredith quietly whispered as she referred to the brace that kept her hip and leg from moving
"After breakfast I'll give you a bath" Carolyn smiled and her heart warmed as Meredith smiled widely
"Aahh! Our girls!" Christopher walked towards them "Goodmorning, Mer. I made your favorite pancakes!" He smiled and took her in his arms
"Thanks daddy." Meredith giggled. "Did Santa come?" She asked with wide eyes
"Why don't we go see" Christopher winked and carried her into the living room where colorful presents were filling the room
"Wow!" Meredith gasped
"Okay guys. We can start with your first present" Carolyn smiled
"Do we get more than one?" Meredith gasped
"Each has gotten two presents from Santa and then we got you something small as well" Carolyn smiled
The boys chuckling as they knew the truth but enjoyed the girls' enthusiasm
"Let's start unwrapping" Christopher smiled as he held Meredith in his lap as she couldn't properly sit up
"Wow!" Meredith gasped "A Barbie set!" She smiled
"I got the brown haired one!" Amelia gasped "They look like us!"
"They do!" Meredith giggled
"Wow! They're pretty" Derek smiled as he checked them out
