This takes place at the beginning of season 2. After Meredith found out about Derek wife and is trying to move on from him. But something comes up might change her life forever.
It's a few weeks later and we finally found a few we liked, it's in New York and it's close to one of the best schools in the country and it's close to my mother's house.
It's in a nice neighbourhood with a lot of other families with kids.
It's a large brick house with four bedrooms, Meredith's and my bedroom, Mallory and Miles get their own room and the baby's nursery.
We're waiting to find out the gender of the baby when it's born so the entire room is mostly white.
We've already gotten the important things moved into the house, like the beds, and couches and we're still waiting for the boxes of the rest of our stuff to arrive.
We just went grocery shopping the house is full of food.
Meredith is currently sleeping while I'm sitting outside watching the twins run around the yard.
The backyard here is a great size, it's big and there's enough room for a playground that we got a few days ago and they love it.
Meredith is almost six months pregnant and the bigger she gets the less she likes walking around and moving too much.
We've both taken time off work so we can get settled in and Meredith and I have already found a hospital that we will start working at. Meredith will go when her maternity leave ends and I'll go when my paternity leave ends.
Meredith said she's fine with being alone with the baby while I'm at work as long as I take the twins with me to daycare but I told her I wanted to stay at home and help with the baby.
I never got to see the twins when they were newborns and take care of babies so I want to be able to do it as much as I can with this one.
The twins and I woke up pretty early this morning but I let Meredith sleep in since she hasn't been getting enough sleep the past few nights because she can't seem to get comfortable with her larger stomach.
She got her pregnancy pillow in yesterday and I think that's really been helping her through the night.
It's almost three in the afternoon and she's still asleep. My mother called me this morning saying she was going to stop by to visit the twins and she wanted to talk to Meredith about the baby. She didn't say what she wanted to talk about, she just said it was a mother thing and Meredith would understand.
As I'm sitting out on the patio watching the kids play I feel two arms loosely wrap around my neck.
"So you're finally awake?" I hold her hand and bring it to my lips. I see that she's still wearing my shirt. Not many of her night clothes fit her anymore so she wears a lot of my clothes to bed.
"Why didn't you wake me up any earlier? You know I don't like sleeping for too long, it makes me feel lousy for the rest of the day,"
"You needed the sleep, you haven't slept in the past few nights, I thought I'd let you sleep while you could finally get comfortable," I say.
"The kids seem to be having fun.. they've never been able to play outside whenever they wanted.. I'm glad we moved here, in a better house, better neighbourhood," she kisses my cheek.
"No Cristina, No Burke," I rub her smaller hand.
"I do still feel bad for Theo.. last I heard from them he's still with his grandmother and she's trying to get custody of him. And if he's being raised by her he's mostly likely going to be like Burke when he grows up," she says.
"At least he'll be raised by someone who wants to raise him," I say.
"I suppose. I'm going to go take a shower," she says. She kisses my cheek and goes back inside the house.
After some time the kids get tired and I take them back inside and make them lunch.
Meredith walks into the kitchen showered, and dressed.
"Are you feeling any better?" I ask her. "Everything still hurts and it's very comfortable to sit, stand, sleep, shower, get dressed, and move, but other than that yeah I'm fine," she says as she stands next to me.
"Just remember, there's only three more months left and then you can feel normal again," I say.
"I still don't know what my birth plan is, with the twins I wanted to have a c-section because I wasn't sure how it was going to go if I tried a natural birth with two babies but with one baby should be a lot easier.. the twins birth wasn't the smoothest so I hope this one's a lot better," she says.
"I'm sure it will be. This is New York, they don't let things like that happen as easily," I say.
"Isn't the prison Addison is staying at in New York?" She asks.
"Yes, but that's far from here," I say. "We also have names to think about, and it'll be even harder to pick a name since we're waiting to find out the gender, and we still have so many more things to buy. Nathan said he didn't want kids so I got rid of everything but the twin's old clothes and anything else that held memories so even what we have we still need more diapers," she says.
"How many diapers does one baby need?" I ask. "I don't know but I stocked up before the twins were born and I still ran out, but they can't all be the same size because they grow like weeds. It's the worst part about having kids, they don't stay small," she says.
"Well if you want another one after this one just say the word," I smile. She glared at me.
"We'll see," she says. "My mom will also be stopping by today, she said she wanted to speak to you," I say.
"About what?" She asks. "I don't know, she said it was a mother thing and that you would understand," I say.
