So I've decided to write this new Fic! It's something that has been playing on my mind now for a while. Here's a little info about it!

It's based 7 years after the season 5 premiere. So everything that happened before then and everything that's happening up until the point where Mer says yes (hopefully to Derek's proposal, even thought it hasn't happened yet!) has happened!

Its just gonna be a story about the troubles of marriage and family life between Derek, Meredith and their daughter.

You'll find out more on the way! Here's the first chapter.

XXXXXXX

It was a cold wintry evening in the city of Seattle; it had begun to snow softly. Meredith lay in her bed looking out her window, as the world went by. It had been so peaceful ever since her roommates had moved out. Izzie and Alex had decided to take their relationship to the next level and moved out when Meredith found out she was pregnant. She lay there and gazed at the moonlight as it shined through her window. Suddenly her stare was interrupted by the sound of a soft cry.

"Mommy... Mommy... Mommy!" She heard the little voice blubber.

Meredith looked at her clock which read 3:35am before lifting herself tiredly from her bed. She made her way towards Izzie's old room and opened the door switching on the light.

"Hey Abbey. Hey, baby girl, what's the matter?" Meredith asked in a worried tone as she walked over to her daughter who was sitting up crying in her bed.

"I had a bad dweam" Abbey sniffled, as Meredith stroked her face.

"Aw, hey, hey it's ok mommy's here now, it's gonna be ok..." Meredith said as she ran her fingers through Abbey's fine strawberry blonde hair. "... Ok? Come here." Meredith continued as she placed her hands under Abbey's arms and lifted her from her pink duvet and onto her lap. "Do you want me to kiss it away?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah, please" Abbey asked as she moved her face forward towards Meredith's.

"Mwa" Meredith said as she kissed the tip of Abbey's nose lightly "Better?" She asked

"Yes, thanks Mommy" She smiled.

"Ok, come here give me a hug" Meredith said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Aw you're such a big girl"

"Really" Abbey replied holding onto Meredith

"Yeah, show me that big girl smile I love most." Meredith said to Abbey watching her as she curved her lips up slightly.

"...Ohh come on you can do better than that" Meredith giggled. Abbey grinned even wider showing Meredith her pearly white teeth.

"Ahh, there she is" She laughed before kissing Abbey on the forehead

"Ok give me a kiss and climb into bed" Meredith asked before kissing Abbeys puckered up lips.

"Mommy can I sleep with you and daddy tonight?" Abbey asked as she played with Meredith loose hair.

"Yeah sure baby" Meredith said as she stood up from the bed. "Come here" she continued as she held out her arms. "Don't forget Dooley" The moment Meredith mentioned Abbey's teddy bear, the little girl turned and picked up her bear before jumping into Meredith arms. "Ok, come on" Meredith said as she carried her daughter out of the room and headed down the hall.

"Ok get in" Meredith said as she placed Abbey into bed and walked back over to her side pulling back the covers, and reaching for her alarm clock.

"Mommy where's daddy?" Abbey asked with her little head poking out from the top of the duvet.

"He's working sweetie" Meredith answered setting down her alarm clock.

"Again?" Abbey asked as she moved closer to her mom.

"Yeah. But, he's off tomorrow and he's got a big surprise for you"

"Really? What is it?" She grinned

"Well if to go to sleep you'll find out tomorrow ok?" Meredith said as she wrapped her arm around Abbey.

"Ok mommy, good night, love you" She replied as she snuggled next to Meredith.

"Love you to baby, goodnight." Meredith replied as she sniffed the top of her beautiful daughters head, before drifting off to sleep.
