Never grow up.
AU: Just a little one shot about Meredith and Derek after the birth of their first baby Eva
Repost
Meredith woke up in the afternoon after her nap, from the sound of a guitar, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of Derek playing again.
Since that Meredith and Derek got married, she found out that he used to play the guitar before he got married with Addison. Addison never had liked the sound of a guitar so Derek hadn't played it for a long time. With some pushing from Meredith her side (who happened to love the sound of a guitar) he had started to practice again.
She quickly put on her jeans before walking towards the sound of the guitar.
As she followed the playing sound, she was lead towards the pink/purple nursery from their baby daughter Eva, who was now 3 days old.
She smiled as she noticed Derek sitting on the rocking chair, playing some accords and talking to their daughter.
Derek sat in the rocking chair in the nursery of their daughter. He played some accords before placing the guitar on the floor. He got up from the chair and walked over towards the little crib. He smiled at the sight of his daughter being asleep.
He bended over towards her to place a small kiss on her forehead, before stroking her little hand. As in a reflex the little girl grabbed his finger with her hand.
He stood there watching her for a moment before kissing her again and getting his finger back from her. He smiled as he walked over to the rocking chair again and he sat down.
He played some accords before softly telling Eva that this song is written for her. All this time he didn't notice Meredith standing in the doorway.
He started to play and softly sang the words, for the song that he wrote for his baby.
"Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And, it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So, I tuck you in
Turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I had, honey
If you could stay like that"
Derek took a deep breath before continuing
"Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It can stay this simple"
Taking another deep breath Derek continued his song
"I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, and never grow up"
at the end of the song Derek wiped away some tears from his eyes. He put away the guitar and walked over towards the crib again, kissing his daughter one more time "I will always protect you" he told her as he just adored her.
In the meantime Meredith listened to Derek sing his little song to their daughter, at the end of the song Meredith stood there in the doorway, silently crying. She noticed Derek wiping away his tears and walking over to the crib.
She quickly walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him, kissing his back. "that was beautiful" she smiled
Derek turned around so that he was facing her " hey" he said before kissing her on the lips "I didn't know you were awake" He said as he kissed her again.
"I was, I heard you playing the guitar" she said as she faced her daughter. She placed her head on Derek his chest and he wrapped his arm around her "we are lucky" she said as she adored her daughter who was just a perfect mix between the both of them, blonde curly hair and blue eyes, and thank god Meredith her nose.
"yes we are" Derek said before kissing his wife "I just hope that her life would be easier than ours, before we reached everything we could dream for" he said with a smile, knowing that both of them would do everything in their power to make their daughters life a happy and good one.
Just some inspiration that I got while listening to the song Never grow up from Taylor Swift.
