Back to Boston | MerDer

10 - A new life

Meredith POV
Once again we were back in Boston, this time hopefully for real, apparently the house had advanced a lot while we were back and forth. Derek said it would take about three more months to be done with it, that's good, it should be done way before my baby comes.
- Hey, you are not snoring, what's wrong?
- Haha! I have been awake for a while, this little one has been kicking a lot. - He kissed me and ran his fingers through my hair
- Well anything I can do to help?
- You can talk to it, what do we call it, it?
- Well one of us can call it he and the other one she
- No cause it will be born thinking one of us is always wrong
- Okay, then what about little one
- Oh, put your hand on my belly
- What?
- Now
Derek waited for a while looking at me confused, and then he felt it. We both let out a little laughter.
- Well, this little one is definitely keen on soccer
- Talk to it, somehow it helps
We stayed in bed for a while and Derek talked to the baby, which, made it stop kicking. It was quite reliving honestly. Also seeing Derek full daddy mood made me so happy, it reminded me of why I changed, why I fell so hard for him. He really did turn my world around.

Derek POV
Today was my first surgery, I didn't want to bring it up with Mer cause I just knew she would get excited and I'm a bit skeptical. Until I don't successfully clip this aneurysm I won't believe my hand is fine. When everything was prepped I looked up and saw her, she was smiling at me with our daughter in her lap. That gave me the last ounce of confidence I needed
- Okay everyone, it's a beautiful day to save lives, let's have some fun.
The surgery went grate, my hand worked perfectly, and the aneurysm was clipped. As soon as I updated the family I went looking for my wife.
- Heeyy, congratulations, you are officially you again - She gave me a soft kiss - I was so proud of you, and so was Zozo, right Zozo? - She clapped with her tiny hands making both Mer and I laugh
- Thanks, for being there. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just, wasn't sure if it would go my way.
- That's fine, I know you were scared, that's why we were there - I grabbed her by the waist and we made out way to the parking lot
- Wanna go see something cool? Our new dream house is almost ready. Well it still need floors and walls, but other than that.
- Oh so it still needs to be a house? - she let out a short giggle - Sure let's go see our new house
This house was way bigger than our house in Seattle, since I started planing it knowing we would have at least two babies. And hopefully we would have more, I always wanted lot of kids, but Meredith wasn't so crazy about it. When she said she wanted kids I was so happy, but I don't want to force her into having a bigger family than she wants. When we got Zola I thought that was it, I didn't think she could get pregnant and adopting is so hard with all the paperwork. And now we were having another baby
- I know there's still a lot of work to do but, you get the idea.
- This house has space for like 5 kids
- Well do you want that many kids?
- Do you?
- You know I come from a big family and I'd love that for our kids to have that. But I love what we have Mer, for a while we didn't even think we could have a kid, and now we have an amazing daughter we adopted and you're pregnant.
- Well I would, eventually, consider the possibility of having another kid, one way or another cause I can't promise you anything, I still have a hostile uterus. You know how much we tried before Zola, and now that we weren't trying I just, got pregnant
- I love you Meredith Grey
- And I love you Derek Shepherd
