Alright so I guess I should start this off by mentioning that I don't own Grey's Anatomy although I really wish I did.
This story is set two years in the future. Burke and Christina were married in a small ceremony in court as they planned. Izzie and Alex are dating, and Addison and Mark are dating as well. The Chief changed his mind and decided not to leave.
Derek rolled over in bed and gently began to rub Meredith's arm. "Wake up sleepy you have rounds." He gently whispered into her ear. Meredith lay there for just a moment pretending she was still asleep enjoying Derek's whisper in her ear. "You're an attending do I really have to go?" She said sarcastically as she rolled out of bed. "What would your poor interns do without their leading resident, they would be lost and probably having sex with attendings in on call rooms or cutting L-VAD wires to their fiancé patients." Derek said jokingly just as Meredith flipped around with a pillow in hand dropping it on his face. "Watch it watch it!" Derek yelled as he started to tickle Meredith making her drop the pillow. "Alright well after that display I think I'm going to go and take a shower…by myself." Meredith said as she jumped out of bed and started to run for the bathroom, Derek fumbling to jump up and run after her. Meredith reached the bathroom and shut the door just as Derek skidded to a halt in front of the newly closed door. "Mer come on! You know you love me too much to make me shower by myself!" Derek whined at the door. Izzie walked up to him with a fresh steaming cup of coffee. "In the doghouse again Dr. Shepard?" She said laughing as she walked away. Derek rolled his eyes just as the bathroom door creaked open and he was allowed in by a smiling Meredith.
After they were ready and had eaten breakfast Meredith and Derek climbed into his black BMW and headed off for work. Meredith was reading a study and not paying attention to where they were going when she looked up they were pulling in to Joe's parking lot. "Derek don't you think it's a little early in the day for us to start drinking?" Meredith said looking at him curiously. "Very funny it's never too early for a drink." Derek said with a mischievous smile on his face. "Derek?" Meredith asked utterly confused. "Just come on!" He said hopping out of the car and running into the bar trying to not get drenched by the usual Seattle rain. Meredith put down all of her papers and cursed to herself for a moment before she too bounded from the car and into the bar.
As Meredith walked into the bar her breath was taken away at the sight of Derek kneeling in the same spot where he had first come up to her that fateful night in the bar. "Derek?" She asked choking up a little. "Meredith Grey will you marry me?" Derek asked as he opened a small blue Tiffany's box to reveal a stunning diamond ring. Tears instantly started to stream down Meredith's face. She looked from the box to Derek and then over at Joe. Without saying a word she walked up to the bar. "Joe can I get a shot of Tequila and a Scotch on the rocks?" Meredith asked. Joe and Derek both looked at her strangely. "Sure." Joe said unsure of what to say as he went and prepared their drinks. After he had set them both on the bar Meredith held her shot in her hand and handed Derek his scotch on the rocks. "Meredith?" He asked. "Ask me again." Meredith said. A little less confident this time Derek asked Meredith. "Meredith Grey will you marry me?" Meredith looked down at him, "Yes." She said in probably the happiest moment of her life. Derek gently slipped the ring on her finger. "Now you have to tell me what's with the drinks?" Derek and Joe asked practically in unison. "You can't recreate a moment in a bar without the drinks we had that night very well can you?" Meredith asked smiling as she hugged Derek. Derek and Joe both started to laugh. "I love you Meredith!" Derek said happily. "I love you too!" Meredith said tears still falling down her face. Just then Christina, Burke, Izzie, George, Bailey, Richard, Callie, Alex, Addison, and Mark all jumped up from their various places at back tables. "You know you really had us worried there for a minute with the drinks." Izzie said smiling as she went up and hugged them. "Were you all here this whole time?" Meredith asked not believing that she hadn't noticed any of them. "No we magically appeared what do you think?" Christina asked in her usual sarcastic tone as she hugged Meredith against her usual no hugs rule.
One year later.
"Meredith are you sure you want to go to work today? You know you could start your maternity leave a little early?" Derek urged as he watched Meredith throw up for the third time that morning. When Meredith finished and cleaned up she stood and looked at Derek with a huge smile on her face admiring how cute he was. "I don't think it would work for me to ask to start maternity leave in the first trimester as much as that sounds good to you. Especially when we haven't even told anyone that I'm pregnant yet." Meredith said smiling as she lightly placed her hand on Derek's chest and planted a soft kiss on his lips. Derek smiled, but still didn't let up. "But you're a doctor that's stressful there should be exceptions for you like starting maternity leave the first week after you find out your pregnant." Derek rambled on. "Derek Shepard relax I'm fine and the baby is fine, but we won't be fine if we're late for work and you miss your 7 am craniotomy." Meredith scolded as she walked down the spiral staircase towards the front door. Derek and Meredith had just had their home completed on Derek's land a few months before they found out that Meredith was pregnant. It was amazing. It was three stories with oak spiral staircases, big pained windows, and wood flooring. There was a wrap around porch with roses ascending up the banisters with lightly stained patio furniture delicately spread all around the deck. "Meredith you really should stay home and be on maternity leave…I just have a feeling." Derek yelled down the stairs as he was putting his sweater on over his dress shirt. "Oh Derek." Meredith said as she rushed to the front door grabbing her keys and purse. "I guess the only way I'm going to get you to go to work and relax is if you have to chase me to work." Meredith said as she ran out the door to her black BMW, threw her purse in and started the engine. "Meredith!" Derek called after her as he fumbled down the stairs grabbing his laptop and wallet in a hurry. He bolted out the front door to find Meredith revving the engine. He rushed up to the passenger door and hopped in. "You're just a comedian aren't you?" He asked as buckled up as they sped off towards the hospital. "I know." Meredith said with a smile looking over at Derek for a moment.
The first part of their shifts at the hospital were fairly uneventful, but later that evening all hell broke lose when there was an explosion at a factory on the west side of town. Meredith and Christina both looked down at their pagers while they were eating a snack in one of the on call rooms, "Emergency Report to Chief." Read their pagers. "Oh I hope it's something good!" Christina said as she and Meredith bounded out of their chairs. When they got to the Chiefs office he was pacing back and forth looking at papers. "Hey what's up Chief?" Christina asked as they stepped in. "There's been an explosion out on the West side I need you two to take your interns and head out there to assess victims before they come in." Richard said looking at them both. "Sure no problem!" Christina jumped as she grabbed Meredith's hand and dragged her out the door. Meredith gave the Chief a look of longing to tell him something as she was swept from his office. Immediately they went down and suited up in big jackets with their id tags, they told their interns what they were doing and all made their way out to two ambulances which were on their way to the scene. "This is going to be amazing!" Christina said her energy pumping. Meredith looked at her and shook her head. "Be careful out there you know what happened last time I was sent out." Meredith said as she and Christina got in their separate ambulances with their interns. "Yeah you too!" Christina said as she pulled the ambulance doors shut.
