Meredith was severely depressed. She was twenty hours into her forty hour shift as an intern and while she was high on the surgery she had just witnessed she missed her son terribly. In the four years since he had been born she hadn't spent more than a few hours away from him. Meredith pulled a picture of him and smiled lovingly. He was sitting in Meredith's lap with an even smaller child in his arms. His eyes were on the boy as were Meredith's. Both of them were smiling. The picture had been taken three months ago the day after their newest son, Cameron Brice Shepherd was born. He looked nothing like his older brother who had his father's thick black curls and bright blue eyes. Cameron had the same hair as his father and brother but it was the color of his mothers and he also had Meredith's lighter blue eyes.

Aiden was a great big brother, he loved to help change his diapers or to get Cameron dressed. Sometimes she even let Aiden help her feed Fisher who she had just started feeding with bottles. Derek was more than she had ever expected him to be, she didn't know why she was so surprised though because really he was a great person all around. Why wouldn't he be a great father as well?

"Are those your boys?" Bailey asked looking at the picture Meredith had in her hand.

Meredith grinned and handed her the picture. "The older one is Aiden he's four and the youngest is Cameron he's only three months old."

Bailey smiled back at Meredith. "Aiden looks like Shepherd and Cameron, he looks a little like you." She handed her the picture back.

Meredith laughed. "Everyone says that, you know if it wasn't for Aiden's nose no one would think that he is my kid."

"You miss them don't you?"

Meredith nodded, "I've never spent the night away from my boys. I had no idea it would be this hard."

"You never do," Bailey laughed. "You may not have to miss them for much longer though." She pointed behind Meredith.

"Go ahead take an early lunch."

Meredith furrowed her brow in confusion, what the hell was Bailey talking about, and what happened to her being the Nazi? The older women seemed almost nice.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" She heard him yell.

She spun around with the biggest smile on her face since she tucked him into bed the night before. She was running toward her with his Monsters vs. Aliens book bag on his back and his dark curls bouncing. Meredith laughed and caught him in her arms. She kissed him on the cheek and he giggled so she began to attack his face in kisses.

"Mommy! Okay I give, I give!" He laughed.

Derek came to Meredith's side only just catching up with their rambunctious son. In his arms was Cameron. Meredith kissed the tiny babies forehead.

"How is momma's little boy?" She asked. He opened his eyes and smiled toothlessly at her/

"I'm your little boy Mommy!" Aiden said frowning.

Meredith shook her head. "No, Aiden you're my big strong boy." She poked him in the side and he laughed.

Meredith looked up at Derek. "Now, how is my big strong man today?" She asked maneuvering around the two children in their arms she pressed her lips against Derek's in a chaste kiss.

"I'm great. How are you?"

Meredith smiled and kissed him again. "So much better now that I get to see my three most favorite men."

Derek laughed and with his free hand took hers. "How about I treat you to a lunch?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Aiden!" Izzie yelled across the Cafeteria.

Aiden's bright blue eyes widened and he looked up at his mother silently asking her for permission to take off toward his favorite aunt. Meredith nodded and Aiden was gone he ran right into her arms and just like Meredith she kissed every inch of his face before she let him down. As soon as Meredith sat down at the table where Alex, Christina, Izzie and George were sitting at Izzie tried to take Cameron out of Meredith's arms but she looked at the blond like she was crazy and held her baby tighter to her chest.

"He's mine go away blondie." She said.

Izzie laughed. "I just wanted to see my nephew." She said with a frown.

"I just got him after a whole day without him. And he's mine." Said Meredith she kissed him on the top of the head to punctuate her point. "All mine Iz."

Izzie ignored her and pulled Aiden into her lap. "Chris." Aiden said pointing at Christina. She smiled.

"Hey rug rat." Aiden giggled.

"I'm not rug rat! I'm Aiden."

Christina poked him in the side. "You sure about that because you kind of look like a rug rat to me? What do you think Alex?"

Aiden's gaze traveled from Christina to Alex waiting for an answer. "He looks more like a carpet ape to me." Alex made monkey motions and noises at the little boy. Aiden almost fell out of Izzie's lap for laughing so much.

XXXXXXX

For someone with such tiny legs Aiden sure could run. He was currently on the run from his mother and he was defiantly doing a good job of it. Then again Meredith had a three month old child in her arms and couldn't exactly run. She spotted Izzie in an exam room with a patient and she made a b-line for the door.

"Please take him for just a second. Aiden ran off and I have to get him before he burns the hospital down." Said Meredith in a rushed breathy voice.

Izzie nodded mutely and gently took Cameron, who was sleeping from her. Meredith took off immediately sprinting down the hallway in search of her son. She made it almost all the way down the hallway when her foot caught on something and she was flying through the air. Meredith threw her arms out to break her fall and almost immediately regretted it. She would rather break her face than her surgeon hands. As she landed she could hear the bones in her left wrist breaking white hot pain shot up her arm and through her body. She hit her head on the ground and laid there with a moan. Today had to be the worst intern day in the history of intern days.

"Your son is adorable." Said a voice from above. Meredith opened one eye she saw a pair of white tennis shoes.

"Mommy are you okay?" Aiden asked but his voice was too far away to be just three feet from the ground.

"You need help up?" asked the same women, Meredith nodded and lifted her had up for the women to help her but it just hung their uselessly. The women took her other hand instead and helped her up.

"I think you broke your hand." She said.

Meredith nodded. "I heard the bone break. I'm Meredith by the way. Thanks for catching him."Meredith tried to smile but it turned out as a wince because of the throbbing pain in her arm.

"I'm Callie; the Ortho resident here would you like me to take a look at your hand?"

Meredith thought about it for a moment. She looked at her wrist which was quickly turning purple and swelling. "Yeah sure I just have to take the boys back to daycare and then I'll meet you back up here?"

"Boys?"

Meredith nodded. "I have a three month old as well."

"You wont be able to carry him with your wrist like that let me help you down there."

XXXXX

"Yep it's a clean break Meredith." She said as she examined the X-ray.

Meredith groaned a clean break meant that it would take longer to heal, which meant no surgery she wouldn't even be able to do sutures for at least two months. She would not doubt be put on scut.

Callie rolled a chair in front of Meredith and took her hand in her lap. "Tell me how you and Dr. Shepherd met."

"How do you know were married? " she asked.

"One thing you should learn about Seattle Grace is that it's a breeding ground for gossip."

Meredith nodded; she already knew that really any hospital was a breeding ground for gossip.

"The other interns aren't very happy that you're married to an attending. They think that you're going to get special treatment."

"The other interns are stupid." She pouted.

"I know, now tell me about how you and your husband met."

Meredith smiled serenely. "I was seventeen, and he was twenty-five and my mother's intern."

"Oooh scandal where you guys together right away?"

Meredith shook her head. "No, not at first, I was dating someone who I had been with for about two years. This guy began to get abusive and I went to Derek both times he attacked me. Derek had been telling me for a while that he was in love with me and he helped me through it. I fell in love with him; I mean how couldn't you fall for someone who helped you through the worst period of your life? And the level of adoration he showed toward me wasn't easy to ignore." She laughed wondering why she was sharing so much with this women she barely knew.

"He's the most amazing man I've ever met." She said simply. She felt Callie pull hard on her hand and gasped in pain.

"You tricked me." She glared.

Callie smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "It worked didn't it."

"Do I have to wear a cast? I can't wear a brace or something?"

Callie gave her a stern look. "You know that you can't Meredith. It's either no surgery for the next two months or no surgery ever."

"How about neither?" She asked hopefully.

"I wish it was that easy. Now do you want a hot pink cast or a purple one?"

Meredith raised an eye brow. "Do I look like I'm a fourteen year old little girl?" She asked with a laugh.

"No not at all. I'm guessing you want white?"

"You guessed right."
