So this is my newest fic, it is post ferryboat disaster. Meredith has just been revived and re-united with Derek and her friends only it takes a more interesting (at least I think) turn. Let me know what you think and if I should continue. Oh, and I don't own anything, not Grey's and not any lyrics or poetry that I post. Enjoy and please comment
Chapter One: Good Morning Beautiful
He lay in her bed holding her as if she were going to slip away again, listening to her soft breathing, watching her chest rise and fall. God how much he loved her, how crazy she made him. His mind had been racing for the entire day and it wasn't stopping anytime soon. He pulled her in even closer and she remained still. She looked so vulnerable and peaceful in her sleep, like she really trusted him. If only she looked that same way when she was alert and had her beautiful green eyes open. The past few days had been hard on her, he knew that, he knew Ellis made her miserable but the thing he didn't understand was why she wouldn't confide in him. He had said he would always show up, he was always going to be here for her, and he was talking about forever. He wanted to marry her one day and have a family with her but she kept running from him and he wasn't sure how much more of it he could handle. He had known Ellis had said something terrible to her when she was lucid, but Meredith wouldn't tell him what it was. She just pushed him away like she always did. Shut him out and turned to her friends. He just hoped she would take some time off with him right now. To get away from the hospital, the excessive drama and just spend time together where they could really make this relationship work because right now he had so many doubts. But what he didn't know was the thoughts that ran through her head, in her dreams.
The dream was repetitive. It would start with her mother and herself. Only she was young maybe 5 or 6. Ellis was screaming at her, something that had to do with Thatcher and Richard and Meredith was crying. Her dream flashed all these terrible memories of her life in her head then it all faded away and all she could see was Derek and it made her feel good. His smile made her melt and she looked into his eyes as if she could see straight through his soul and she knew he felt the exact same way. That moment would last for a while then all she could see was water, and smoke, she could feel her body slowly freezing and shutting down. She could smell the burning fuel that had leaked all over the water and she saw many other lifeless bodies sinking to the bottom. She tried to fight it but it was too hard. The next thing she felt were a set of unbelievably strong arms grab onto her and pull her to the surface. Once again she saw Derek only this time he was holding a baby this was only a brief moment in the dream, she didn't even see the baby's face, just its tiny frame the image flashed away as she saw the water again. The dream went on and on until she finally had fallen into a deep enough sleep. She was so thankful to be alive. Derek really was her night in shining whatever, he had saved her life. Thanks to him she had the rest of her life to be with him and be happy. She wanted to be better, to let him in and stop running, only she wasn't sure how to tell him that. She wanted to be happy and spend the rest of her life with him. She wanted a lot of things now that she didn't want before the accident. There was only one thing she was almost sure she had lost by now.
As morning came Derek softly climbed out of her bed because some one would be coming in to round on her soon. He sat down next to her bed and stroked her hand until she opened her eyes. He leaned in and ever so softly kissed her soft pink lips.
"Good morning beautiful"
She smiled, "Morning"
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did" it was sort of true, "I love falling asleep in your arms and waking up to find you still here"
"There is no place else I would rather be"
They both smiled and the door opened to reveal Dr. Bailey and Dr. Montgomery.
"Morning Grey"
"Morning Bailey, any chance I can go home today?'
Dr. Bailey examined Meredith's chart very carefully and had a look at her monitors.
"As long as your morning labs come in good then yes you can go home today"
She smiled and then when Addison looked at her the smile slowly faded.
"Derek can you go get me some breakfast please?"
"Of course Meredith"
Derek left Meredith and Addison alone in the room while he went to hunt down breakfast.
"Are you planning on telling him Meredith?"
"I don't know how"
"It's pretty easy"
"Not its not, our relationship is so complicated"
"Meredith he deserves to know"
"Wait I lost it right?"
"Yes Meredith, there was abnormal bleeding in your ultrasound due to miscarriage, how long had you known?"
"Only a few weeks, I was going to tell him but I got busy with my mom and I guess I forgot"
"You should still tell him Meredith"
"What is the point at this stage, I lost the baby"
"Was it a baby you were planning on keeping?"
She thought for a minute, "If he wanted me to, yes I would have kept it"
"Then he deserves to know"
"I will tell him when the time is right, or you know…"
"No Meredith you are doing this yourself, I am not telling him for you"
"Please Addison"
"You two shouldn't keep secrets from each other"
"Please, tell him for me, I don't want to see his reaction to this"
Tears were starting to form behind Meredith's eyes
"Okay fine Meredith, as long as you promise to talk about it with him"
"I will"
Just then Derek came back with a muffin and some coffee for Meredith and Addison took Derek outside while Meredith ate her breakfast.
Good morning beautiful, how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
Open my eyes to see your sweet face
And it's a good morning beautiful day
