Say you won't let go

Chapter 30

Author's note: Hey, so I wanted to let you guys envision what the children looked like in my mind so I added a picture with the five children, you can see their names attached to the image except Zoe has curly hair like Patrick's would be if he grew it all the way out. Yes I used two of Caterina's children in real life because they are so adorable. If I could I would have used little Paloma, she is the most precious one of her three 🥺🥺
So anyway, this is what I based the looks on. Enjoy the chapter!!

Meredith woke up to hearing Derek's voice talk quietly. She looked over and saw him in the rocking chair, rocking Elliana slowly. He looked exhausted himself, the twins were only four hours old. They both seemed to be very calm babies, they haven't heard Elliana cry yet but Elliot definitely was loud and proud.

"One day I'm going to take you fishing, and we are going to catch the biggest fish in the lake," he smiled as he spoke softly to the little girl.

"You are not taking her fishing," Meredith chuckled. She looked over into the bassinet where Elliot was sleeping peacefully.

"Say, yes I am mommy," Derek said to Elliana.

"Here, I want to try to feed her before the kids get here," Meredith sat up, she was definitely gaining the feeling back and she felt it with every move.

"I think I'm going to FaceTime mom and let her meet her new grand babies if that is alright with you?" He asked. He knew she was tired, she had just endured delivering twins.

"Yeah, that's fine," she smiled as she helped Elliana get latched to her breast. Derek grabbed his phone and flipped through his contacts before landing on his mother. He gave her a ring and she answered it fairly quickly.

"Hey ma," he smiled at the phone.

"Derek, hold on I don't know how to work this thing," she started.

"Mom, just point it at your face and he can see you," a voice from the background said.

"Is that Lizzie?" He asked.

"Hey DerBear," she jumped into the frame.

"Good you're both here. Listen we got some news," he started.

"Oh is Meredith in labor!" Carolyn said with excitement. She adored babies, especially her grandchildren.

"She actually already had them," he smiled as he went over to a sleeping Elliot and flipped the camera around, "I'd like to introduce Christopher Elliot Shepherd."

"Oh Derek, he's just precious," Carolyn had a tear in her eye, "and his name."

"He needed a strong name, something to navigate this crazy world in. We are going to call him Elliot though," Derek gleamed with happiness while he talked about his son.

"Where the other one?" Lizzie asked as she was also in awe.

"She's finishing up eating now," he smiled, he waited until Meredith was decent. Elliana had fallen asleep, she was definitely milk drunk.

"Hi Carolyn," Meredith smiled as Derek went over to her and pointed the camera at their faces. He slowly moved down to show the baby.

"And this is little Elliana Caroline Shepherd," he said.

"Oh Derek, she looks just like Amelia when she was a newborn," Carolyn said.

"Thanks Ma," he shook his head.

"I said she looked like her too," Meredith giggled.

"We wanted to name her after someone special. So Elliana is after Meredith's mother and Caroline after you," he said.
