-It's okay. - Derek kept caressing my back, as i was clinging over the toilet, holding onto it's seat. I was breathing heavily, and my whole body was trembling from the sudden exertion i was feeling. As i moaned in my uncomfortableness, Derek held me.
-Over soon. - i took a big breath through my nose, and probably it was the worst idea on that morning. As the smell made it's way into my nostrils, i began coughing everything up again. He noticed it, and quickly flushed the toilet, taking the sign. When i felt like it was over, i leant back against his legs weakly.
-I don't know which is worse. A tequila hangover or this..
-You get a baby at the end of this. - he wiped my mouth.
-True. But still awful. - i grabbed the seat again.
-I'm sorry.
-I'm so dizzy - i stood up unstable.
-Please don't let me trip over. - i whispered to him.
-I won't. - he drove me through the bathroom, and sat me down onto the couch.
-Stay here. - he asked me.
-I'll bring you some water and clean up a bit.
-Mhm. - i mumbled with closed eyes.
I rested my head on the side of a the couch, and when he next appeared with a glass of water in his hands, he sat down next to me.
-I'm so tired. - i hid my head in his chest, as tears overtook me.
-Shhs..- he put his chin on top of my head, keeping me as close as he could.
-Derek..I'm...- i sobbed into his chest feeling exhausted and stressed.
-I know. - in his arms i felt more comfortable.
-I love you, Mer. Sleep. - he pressed a kiss on top of my head, and lay down with me snuggled on his chest. He kept stroking my back, and exhaustion quickly overtook me, driving me into a last minute deep sleep.
-Hey..- i felt a kiss in my neck.
-Mhmm...- i mumbled.
-Good morning. - i discovered the voice came from underneath me, as i was still lying on top of Derek.
-Hmm? - i opened my eyes slowly.
-Are you feeling better?
-Bit. - i whispered, sitting up.
-Do you want me to get Zola dressed?
-Do i have time to do it? - i asked him, wanting to spend some time with her alone.
-I think you do. - he shot a look at the clock.
-Good. I'm going. - i pressed a soft kiss onto his lips after he helped me up, and gave him a plus point for ignoring my smelly breath.
-Hey, baby..- i entered Zola's room, and pulled the curtains out.
-Good morning! Did you sleep well? - i lifted her out of the crib.
-It is time for you to wake up. Today is daycare. Sofia will be there. You can play with her. - i kept talking to her.
-We gotta change your diaper. - i kissed her cheek before starting to change her.
-Daddy will make you breakfast.
-What would you like, hmm? Maybe he'd be ready to make pancakes for you. Or it's just a toast morning. Cupcakes? - i asked her, not expecting an answer.
-Copmmhm.
-Yeah, cupcakes. Do you want cupcakes? Maybe there are some from yesterday.I was pulling up the jeans on my legs, and just about to button them, when it didn't come up. It was simply stuck. I couldn't pull them further my thighs. Yeah, it's okay. I sighed, taking the pair out i was wearing yesterday. But it barely reached my hips. It was stuck again.
-What the hell? - i cursed getting annoyed. I pushed it off, and picked out my last jeans which were clean, hoping that they haven't shrank too. But of course, i was wrong. Why not change into an xs size overnight? I looked into the mirror, and lifted my shirt. A...bump. A bigger bump. Not huge, but definitely twice the size of the day before's.
-Derek!! - i yelled for him.
-You okay? - he entered, with Zola on her shoulder.
-My jeans don't fit. None of my jeans fit. - i sighed, nearly crying in my madness.
-Can't you wear the ones from yesterday? They are bigger, aren't they? - he suggested, while patting Zo's back.
-They don't fit. Derek, they don't fit. - i gave up.
-What? - he came closer, lifting my shirt too. His free hand slipped over my bump.
-Whoa. Baby grew!
-Well, you don't say? None of my jeans fit and i'm twice as big as yesterday! I'm a hippo! - i sighed as my eyes were teary.
-Oh, Mer, you are not a hippo! You are so tiny! And the baby is growing. It is a good thing. - he sat down next to me.
-But i look pregnant now! Look at me! - i lowered my shirt and pointed to the my roundy stomach.
-Well, that's true. You do look pregnant. But you are beautiful. And not a hippo. You are...a mouse. - he chuckled.
-Hey! This is not funny! You look at me and you can tell than i am pregnant! Everybody will know in the hospital. And i don't even have jeans! I can't wear sweatpants! - a tear flipped out.
-They probably already know in the hospital. Imagine Mark keeping a secret. And at least they will be kind with you! - he wiped my eyes.
-But...
-We should be happy the baby is growing healthily.
-That's true. - i admitted.
-And you can go shopping with Stevens and Yang. I'll drop you off in the afternoon. Your shift is over at 5. You can buy some bigger pants. And a sweater which covers your back, so you won't be called. - he tried pulling it down.
-Fine. But..what should i wear? Jeans won't fit. I can't wear a dress. My ass will be out. Pajamas pants are out. And sweatpants too. Maybe i'll just go in a bra. Or swimsuits. - i joked.
-Oh yeah,that won't work because my boobs pop out of the bra! - i added irritated.
-It's okay. I'd enjoy it. - he smirked at me.
-Derek! Please..Help! And hey! Eyes up here! - i warned him.
-Wear yoga pants. You'll change into scrubs when we get to the hospital. And borrow one of my hoodies. Your back is awfully out of this sweater.
-The blue one? - i asked him with hope in my voice.
-Yeah. Any. - he looked at my movements, with which i pulled out it from the wardrobe.
-So, i was making Zola breakfast. Any preferences?
-She wants cupcakes and i am not so hungry now. - i declined politely.
-You need to eat. You both need the energy.
-So tomorrow i'll look like a cow? - i snapped back at him.
-Mer.
-Fine. Anything is fine. - i agreed to it.-I look like an idiot. - i sighed after we gave Zola to the lady in daycare.
-You do not. - he took my hand
-Derek. I love you, but ... stop lying. I'm wearing yoga pants with your sweater. Sweater is the better part but i look awful.
-You can change soon. - he chuckled as we entered the attending's lounge.
-Grey! You are late! - Bailey reminded me as we entered.
-Yeah..I'm sorry about that.
-We're supposed to scrub in-together in 15 minutes. Better give me a reason why you were late. - she tossed the plastic coffee cup in the bin.
-I'm sorry. Really. I...it won't happen again. - i avoided the question.
-Shepherd?
-Dressing crisis.
-Yeah, well i see that. - she raised her eyebrow.
-I'm gonna go change. - i turned to Derek after i slightly blushed.
-You are gonna be okay?
-Yeah. Just...be near your pager. - i asked him as he pressed a small kiss onto my lips.
-I'll be.
