****6 month checkup****
As I started to open my car door Derek quickly opened it for me, "Seriously, I'm pregnant. I can still open a car door."
"Meredith Grey you are carrying my child in side of you. I cannot take any chances you might fall of get hurt. Let's be honest your pretty clumsy" Derek replied back.
"Hey!" I said hitting his chest softly. He was write though. Knowing me I'd fall down the stairs or get in a car crash, maybe even miscarry. But it wasn't because I was clumsy, bad things just seemed to constantly be occurring in my life.
We were seated in the waiting room when I saw Cristina walking towards us.
"Glad you could make it Yang" said Derek sarcastically.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world Shepherd" she snapped back.
"Okay you two come on" I added.
We waited for what seemed like an eternity, doctors were never quick. Eventually Dr. Montgomery Forbes, or Addison as we now called her, came out and took Derek and I back. Cristina decided to stay in the waiting room, she'd probably be flipping through magazines making fun of the women in them.
Addison spread the cold gel over my stomach. My bump was getting bigger each day. Derek was standing to my left and the ultra sound machine to my right. Addison began rubbing the machine across my belly. I felt Derek grab my hand, a rush of warmth spread throughout my body. His touch was comforting. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. His lips soft and warm. I squeezed his hand. Just then I looked over and there it was, our baby, on the screen.
"Meredith our little girl is perfect" said Derek.
"She is perfect.....isn't it Addison?" I asked. Half of me was joking, the other half truly worried. I just had the odd sense lately something was wrong. Something about my baby. Derek told me I needed to be less dark and twisty and more bright and shinny but I couldn't help it.
"Just a minute please" Addison answered and her facial expression suddenly changed.
"Dr. Montgomery Forbes what is going?" Derek said raising his voice.
"I don't want you two to freak out. It might be nothing I need to run a few more tests first." She answered.
"Well what do you think is wrong!?" I then yelled, probably ruder than I should have.
"I think it's possible your baby might have heart murmur, I'm going to ask the cardio thoracic surgeon to take a look."
A heart murmur? What is a heart murmur? Can it be fixed? Will the baby
be okay? All of these questions flooded my head.

As we pulled into the driveway I felt a tear slide down my cheek. Derek grabbed my, "Mer it'll be okay. You heard what the doctors said, most likely her heart murmur is cause by a tiny hole that will close on its own-
I interrupted him, "-yeah most likely! But what if it doesn't? What if she needs the surgery after she's born."
He looked at my the way he also does, straight into my eyes and then slowly a grin creeps across his face, "If our baby needs surgery it will be okay. Dr. Montgomery Forbes will operate and our baby will be fixed. It will all be okay, I promise." It was amazing, the way he could melt my worries away and make everything seem right and just.
"I love you" I whispered quietly pushing my nose against his.
"I love you too" he said placing a soft gentle kiss on my lips.
