No one's pov:

It's been over 30 minutes still there was no sign of Meredith. Derek began to worry. He slowly put on his robe and slippers. To go downstairs to see what's taking so long. He called out Meredith's name but still there was no answer it was silent a quiet house very dark. Once he got down the stairs.

He was looking in the living room still no answer he went in the office room she wasn't in there. He looked everywhere but not the kitchen. He began to walk to the kitchen but felt something wet hit his foot. He looked down it was blood soon as he opened the door he couldn't speak.

He quickly rushed over to Mer checking for a pulse she barely had one. He tied his best to stay calm but he couldn't he felt suffocated. He took a few deep breaths as he dials 9-1-1.

He stayed with mer by her side monitoring her pulse he calls Mark and Lexie . hoping there not sleep he explained to them what's going on. They were on the way .

After a few minutes he heard Mark and Lexie coming in with there kids . he gave Mark a spare key to the house in case of a emergency. along with the ambulance that arrived. He  followed them to the hospital.

Soon as the paramedics lifted her off Meredith began got code . Derek began to go into action but the paramedics told him no we got it covered.

He went to the waiting room with his head in his hands . This was all his fault he told himself. All of this would never happen . if he was in the kitchen with her helping her clean the kitchen but no . he decided to go upstairs and wait for her to come up.

His left leg couldn't stop shaking it was a lot of stress right now. But right now he needs to stay strong hoping his wife and baby will be okay.

Emergency's like this he called Addie 5 days earlier . in case of an emergency he called his mother explaining everything.

2 more hours had passed and yet still no updates he started to get even more worried  he was pacing back and forth.  He decided to go get coffee and  a bagel.  The coffee helped but not so much with the bagel .  He barely have a appetite to eat anything right now.

3 more hours had passed he walked to the nurse station asking for something on his wife . but they got nothing. He went back into the waiting room sitting down putting one of his AirPods in his ear.

He still had his hands in his head as Tv played through his ear . lost in his thoughts. He felt like this whole thing was his fault.

"I don't wanna talk right now ".

"Don't know where you are right now".

"I just wanna watch Tv".

"Did you see me on Tv".

"I'll stay in the pool in drown ".

"I'll try not to starve myself ".

"So I don't have to watch you leave ".

"Just because your Mad at me".

The words kept playing in his head over and over he suddenly shed one single tear . he only cried once before when his Dog passed away. But now he is feeling emotions going form left to right.

2 more hours has passed still nothing but he felt a tap on his shoulder . He looked up it was Addison he quickly got up wiping his tear form his eyes.

Dereks POV:

"How is she Addie can I go see her what about the baby is the baby okay ". I rambled. "Derek sit down it's a lot to discuss right now ". She say's sitting down.

I sat down next to her taking a deep breath I couldn't get my left leg to stop shaking . My heart couldn't stop beating fast for what is she about to tell me.

"Derek we had to put her in a medical induce coma until further notice her body went through a lot during surgery, She did coded a few times on the table , she will be in a medical induce coma until her body regains strength ". She says

"W-what about the b-baby", I say trying not the break. "The baby is fine just her Stats and glucose levels were low she's in the Nicu". She says

"Can I see her". I ask. "You can see the baby she's gorgeous does she have a name". She asks. "Her name is Ellis Carolyn Shepherd". I smiled at the thought . "That's a beautiful name congratulations ", she says

"Thanks Addie truly I owe you ", I say. "Hey there's no need just doing my job", she says. "So I can see Ellis right ". He asks. "Of course you can just follow me". She says getting up

I follow her as we walk to the Nicu. I see Ellis as I put a yellow gown on walking in I picked up Ellis she looks like Mer. Has her nose , facial expressions scrunchy nose, and of course My hair and Eye color.

She was so beautiful looking at Ellis I started to cry letting all the tears fall. I couldn't control my emotions. I started to rock her back and forth stroking her soft dark brown curls.

"Hi my Ellie hell it's me your dad I'm so happy your here you are so beautiful just like your mother. We're gonna go see mommy soon to get skin to skin contact. I can't wait for you to meet your siblings," I whisper with tears in my eyes

I see Ellis starting to fuss I slowly removed my gown and shirt to get skin to skin contact. She slowly stopped fussing. I rocked back and forth slowly.

"You think we could go see Mer now or not yet". I  asked. "You can if you want just follow me", she says. "Could I also bring Ellis to or no", I ask still holding her.

"You can just brace yourself ". She says.

I nod as we both walked towards Meredith's room soon as the door opened my heart shattered into pieces.

"What happened!". Addie says walking in front of me. "We don't know all of a sudden her stats we're going low". A nurse says.

Addie took another step closer. "Damnit one of her stitches must've blown let's go go an or people!". She says

All I could do was stare in shock while holding Ellis to my chest . everything feels like it's falling apart. All I wanted to do was cuddle Mer and the baby once she was awake.

But no the universe is always smacking me down I sit in the chair to wait until she's out of surgery.

*Hoping just hoping everything is okay *
