She's a Fighter// a Greys Anatomy FF

30 Weeks

Meredith had been working for a few weeks now. She still doesn't believe that she looks good, but she agrees with Derek so he doesn't worry.

"Hey, Mer."
"Hi Alex."
"How are you?"
"Good. Baby's kicking. Ow."
"I'm sorry."
"No. It's good."
"You've got this."
"Thanks."
"Yeah. When is your next appointment?"
"Today, actually."
"Ok. Tell me what happens."
"I will."

He kissed her forehead and left.
"Ow."
"What's wrong, Dr. Grey?" A nurse asked.
"Baby is kicking my rib cage."
"Oh. Sorry, I cant help with that. Here. You can have my seat."
"No no. I'm good. Thank you though!"
"Are you sure? I really don't mind."
"Positive. I have a surgery anyways."
"Ok. If you need anything, I'm here."
"Thank you Hannah."

"Wilson, Present."
"James Codwell, 12 years old. Came in complaining of stomach pains. He has a mass on his intestine. Surgery is scheduled at 10:45."
"Great job. James, do you have any questions?"

"Will it hurt?"
"You might have a little pressure on your tummy. And you will be in a bit of pain. But we can give you medicine for that." Alex said.

A little later, it was time for the surgery.

"Ow."
"You ok, Mer?"
"No. This baby won't stop kicking and it hurts."
"I'm sorry. I can get Bailey."
"No. No, it's ok."
"Ok"

Five minutes later
"Mm."
"Mer."
"I'm fine Alex."
"Page Dr. Bailey."
"Alex!"
"Meredith. I said page Bailey."

"What do you need Karev?"
"Scrub in and fill in for Mer."
"Out Grey."
"But-"
"Now!"
"Ughh."

I walk into an on call room. I rap my arm around belly.
"Hi baby. I need you to stop hurting mommy."

"Hey." Derek walked in.
"Hi."
"That "hi" sounded painful."
"Baby kicking."
"I'm sorry."
"Wait."
"What?"
"Keep talking. Baby stopped kicking."
"I mean, what do you want me to say?"
"Anything."
"Hi baby. I think it's a girl."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Also, I want it to be a girl."
"Ok. I'm going to go to sleep."
"Ok. I love you."
"Where are you going?" My eyes were filling with tears.
"I thought you were going to sleep?"
"I am."
"Then I was going to let you sleep."
"No. Come here. Cuddles."
"Ok." Derek chuckled.

Meredith pulled Derek's hand on her belly so the baby wouldn't kick so much.

"I love you Mer."
"I love you. Oh. I forgot about our appointment!"
"We have an hour. Get some sleep."
"Mk."

Doctors Appointment
"Meredith Grey."
"That's us."
"Come on back."

"Change into this and the OB should be in shortly."
"Thank you."

"We get to see what our baby is!"
"I know."

"Hi guys."
"Hey Connie."
"Any pain, spotting or anything out of the usual?"
"Just a lot of kicking."
"Haha. Ok. Let's take a look."

"What- what's that face for? Is something wrong?"

"No. Not at all."
"Then why the face?" Derek asked.
"Because. It's twins. "
"What?! How? We should have caught it sooner."
"Yes, but the second baby wanted to hide. That's probably why your baby...babies are kicking so much."
"Babies."
