it's a beautiful day to save lives

I'm Dr Shepherd, Derek. I love fishing, the outdoors, Meredith, Zola, cereal, the smell of lavender, and surgery. I have four sisters, nine nieces, five nephews, and I always cheat when I do the crossword.

[feistydavina-deactivated2014062]

It's a slow day.

But at least it will give me some time to get this research done.

[docderekshepherd]

You've jinxed us all.

[docderekshepherd]

Jo?

[surgeonjo]

I-Oh. Are you sure?

[docderekshepherd]

Completely certain.

[docderekshepherd]

Jo?

[surgeonjo]

Okay, but stop looking so worried. You’re scaring me.

[docderekshepherd]

I'm not worried. [Rolls eyes.] So, Meredith decided that the baby's godfather would be Alex, and I wanted to tell you that I decided that you'd be godmother.

[docderekshepherd]

Jo?

I need to tell you something.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[doctormeredithshep]

Fine, I guess it can be her and Alex. Really? I’m Alex’s best man, er woman I guess.

[docderekshepherd]

You're okay with it?

Yeah.  I'm happy to do it.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[doctormeredithshep]

Wilson? Why?

They’re still wolves, Derek. I feel like Lizzie would put my contact name as ‘Wife 2.0’. Of course, it’s why we got along so well.

[docderekshepherd]

She's my friend.  Did I tell you she asked me to walk her down the aisle?

I know, I know.  

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[doctormeredithshep]

Still a whale though. Speaking of things, who’s going to be the kid’s godparents? I want Cristina and Alex.

I guess it’s not as bad then. At least you didn’t give my number to the wolves. Oh, really? I love cool tumours. 

[docderekshepherd]

I was thinking maybe Alex and Jo. 

They wouldn't have been that bad.  Mm, I know you do.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[docderekshepherd]

I like the bump by the way. Ah well my mothers just concerned. She wants to make sure we’ve made up. Oh - by the way I decided I want you in the OR for my first surgery back.

[doctormeredithshep]

I don’t. I look like a whale. At least I don’t have much morning sickness anymore. Now it’s just hormones and the kicking.

Why can’t she constantly call you instead? You’re her son. Sure. I can do that. 

[docderekshepherd]

You're beautiful. And she does call me all the time. I've scheduled it for a couple of weeks time to give me incentive. I found a really really cool butterfly tumour.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[docderekshepherd]

It’s the baby.

Ah, I’ll speak to her.

[doctormeredithshep]

It’s definitely the baby. 

Good, because I don’t want to talk about sex with any of your family. You’re lucky both of my parents are dead and Lexie’s not nosy. 

[docderekshepherd]

I like the bump by the way. Ah well my mothers just concerned. She wants to make sure we've made up. Oh - by the way I decided I want you in the OR for my first surgery back.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[doctormeredithshep]

Oh, I will. I’m too needy to wait until you’re able to undo them yourself.

Derek! Now she won’t stop calling me and asking about our sex life. 

[docderekshepherd]

It's the baby.

Ah, I'll speak to her.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

[doctormeredithshep]

I’m looking forward to you knowing how to undo buttons again.

And did you give your mom my number? She keeps calling me.

[docderekshepherd]

Until then you're just going to have to help me out.  

I may have.

[docderekshepherd]

I can officially tie shoe laces.

It may take me close on an hour and cause a lot of sweating, but I can do it.

Next, buttons.

[docderekshepherd]

It'd be nice to get out of here soon.

[doctormeredithshep]

See, only charming people have nurses practically flinging themselves at you.

I think it stopped for now. Wait.. you want  a girl?

[docderekshepherd]

Maybe.

Well.  I'd be happy with either, but can you imagine a little girl who looks exactly like you?

[docderekshepherd]

It'd be nice to get out of here soon.

[doctormeredithshep]

  You so are. Remember how the nurses were all over you when you and I were on a break?

It’s working. Somewhat. 

[docderekshepherd]

Mm, true.

Okay, okay.  Baby, we can't wait to meet you, and see what you're going to be like.  Me, I'd like you to be like a little mommy.

[docderekshepherd]

It'd be nice to get out of here soon.

[doctormeredithshep]

Yes you are. It’s why all of the interns and nurses love you. That and the hair.

I know. It hurts. Can you talk to it or something?

[docderekshepherd]

Maybe.

Sure.  [Derek placed his hand on her belly and leant forwards.] Hey baby, you're not quite ready to see us yet, but we can't wait for you to be out here.  But it would nice if you'd stop kicking Mommy quite so hard, you're hurting her.

[docderekshepherd]

It'd be nice to get out of here soon.

[doctormeredithshep]

You’re Mcdreamy. Use some of your charm to convince them to let you out or something. I don’t know.

Yeah, it’s kicking. I freaked out at first because I thought something was wrong, but Addison told me it was just kicking. 

[docderekshepherd]

I'm not that charming.

Our baby's really active.

[docderekshepherd]

It'd be nice to get out of here soon.

[doctormeredithshep]

Go suck up to Callie or Jackson. 

In the meantime, check this out. [Meredith grabbed his good hand and placed it on her stomach, waiting for the baby to kick.]

[docderekshepherd]

I've tried!

Oh...Oh!  Wow, our kid...
