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 been a couple of months since Derek brought up the idea of having another baby and we started trying a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not sure how likely it is for me to get pregnant, I've never tried to get pregnant, it just kind of happened.
I checked with Arizona to see if I was fertile enough to get pregnant without trouble and she said that everything working the way it should.
We haven't really told anyone else about us thinking about having another baby.
***** A couple of weeks ago I found out I'm pregnant. I haven't told Derek yet and I'm not sure how to.
We're already pretty busy with work and the kids and another baby is going to be a lot of work.
Thankfully Miles and Mallory are older and can do a lot on their own but I don't want to neglect them to take care of the younger ones.
Miles, Mallory, and Hope are at soccer and gymnastics while Derek and I have the day off.
I finish up the dishes before going into the living room where Derek is sitting.
"You know while the kids are gone we can work on making another baby," he says pulling me into his chest.
"We don't have to," I say. "Why, did you change your mind about having another one?" He asks.
"No, I'm pregnant," I smile. "You are? That's great!" He smiles. He pulls me into a hug.
"When did you find out?" He asks pulling away.
"A couple of weeks ago. I wanted to tell you sooner but I wasn't sure how to or when, the time never seemed right," I say.
"That's fine. Have you seen an OB or made an appointment?" He asks.
"Yeah, I saw Arizona two weeks after I found out. I'm four months far along," I say.
"That's amazing Mer!" He says kissing me before pulling me in for another hug.
*****
It's a couple of hours and five rounds of sex later.
We asked Carolyn to pick up the kids so we could shower and get dressed because the kids got back.
I have a sonogram of the baby so I figured we could just leave it on the couch for one of the twins to find and when they asked about it then explain to them that we're having another baby.
It was different when I was pregnant with Hope because the twins were still young and we didn't really have to explain much to them.
And it should be the same with Hope but the twins are older now and they'll probably have more questions.
I was hoping to wait I they were at least eight before giving them the sex talk.
I was ten when I found out what sex was and it was from a friend at school and then I ran it by my mother and had her fill in the blanks.
Of course, it led to her confessing her affair with Richard but then she was paged to the hospital so I never heard the rest, thankfully.
I don't want to tell them too soon but I also don't want them finding out from some uneducated kid at school.
At this point in our lives, we don't really care about what gender we get, we already have two girls and a boy so most would want another boy.
We're having with having three girls and a boy and we're also fine with having two girls and two boys. We don't really care too much.
Derek finished showering around twenty minutes before I did and I just heard the front door open which means the kids are home.
I quickly get dressed and towel-dry my hair before leaving the bathroom and going into the living room.
"What happened to your face?" I ask Mallory as I see she has a black eye.
"Miles kicked me in the face," she says as Derek hands her in an eye pack.
"We were playing soccer and she was the goalie and the ball hit her face instead of going in the goal," Miles says.
"Was it worth it?" Derek asks her. "Yeah, we won," she smiles. "That's my girl," he grins and kisses her forehead.
The twins are on different teams so whenever Mallory's team wins Miles is grumpy towards the rest of the day.
if Miles' team wins then Mallory's fine with it. She accepts it and works twice as hard with the next game.
"Why don't you three go sit on the couch? We have something to tell you," Derek tells them.
They nod and go into the living room.
"What did you two do this time, get pregnant again?" Carolyn says. We both stay quiet.
"Oh my gosh, you did?!" She says. "Yes, I'm four months far along," I say.
"That's wonderful!" She says hugging me and then Derek.
A couple minutes later she leaves and we meet the kids in the livid room.
"Who's telling them, you or me?" Derek asks as we sit down on the couch.
"You, I've already told you and your mother today it's your turn," I say.
"Okay, kids. Your mom and I are having another baby," Derek says taking my hand into his.
"Another one?" Miles says. "Yes," I say. "Are we going to have to share rooms again?" Mallory says.
"No, at the new house that is almost finished you will all have your own rooms including the new baby," Derek says.
"Okay, then I'm fine with it," Mallory says. "Me too," Miles says.
"What do you think Hopey?" Derek says. "Where baby?" She asks.
"I'm mommy's tummy?" He says. "Why in der?" She says. "The baby's going to stay there until it's big and then we go to the hospital and the baby comes out. You were all in mommy's tummy one time," he says.
"Me too?" She asks. "Yes," he nods. "Okay!" She says. "Can we go play now?" Mallory asks.
"Yes, you can all go play now," I say. They all get up and go into their rooms to play.
"So we're really doing this, four kids?" I say.
"I guess so," he says pressing his lips against mine.
