Dr. Derek Shepard looked around the hospital for what seemed like hours for the love of his life. He hadn't seen Meredith in 2 days. They had gotten in a fight about her pushing him away but they had talked it out, so why was she avoiding him? He was about to give up when he saw her. She was leaning against the nurses station giggling at something Izzie had said. God he loved her. He slowly made his way toward her and snuck his arms around her waist from behind her. She jumped for a second but soon relaxed knowing it was Derek.
Der:You've been avoiding me.
Mer:I've been trying to
Der:Why?(Izzie leaves)
Mer:Can we not talk about this right now?
Der:Alright then go out to dinner with me tonight? 7?
Mer:Derek, i don't know if i can i hav-
Der:Alright then ill pick you up at 6:30, wear something formal.
Mer:Derek...
Der:Mer please do it for me(Derek flashes his McDreamy smile)
Mer:Aright but pick me up at 7 instead.
Der:Deal,see you at 7 my love.
Derek walks away from Meredith,Meredith turns around and leans against the nurses station as a tear falls down her cheek.
t was 6:58 as Derek made his way up Meredith front steps,He was wearing a tux and thought he looked good. He rang the doorbell and Meredith soon opened the door. Derek thought she looked beautiful. But she didn't look like she was feeling well.
Mer:Hey I'm sorry i'm not feeling well...
Der:Do you not want to go out with me that bad?
(Derek chuckles)
Mer:No Der I'm ser-
Meredith was cut off by a gagging feeling in her throat she ran to the bathroom and threw up. Derek rushed to her her side and held up her hair and rubbed her back,he hated seeing her like this.
Mer:I'm sorry...
Der:No its ok i'm gonna stay and help you.
Mer:Derek you really don't have to i'm fine.
I'm Fine. Derek hated when she said that because then he knew she was lying.
Der:Mer
Mer:Derek I'm serious! (Derek gives her an "i don't believe you" look)
Mer:Derek REALLY! I felt sick but I'm good now lets go.
Der:How about i just cook us dinner here?
Mer:Thats sounds good but Der?
Der:Hmm?
Mer:Your in a tux...she giggles.
Der:I have clothes in my car.
Mer:Alright I'm gonna go lay down for a little bit.
Der:Ok i'll get you when dinner ready.
(Derek leaves)
Meredith quickly locks the door and opens the medicine cabinet she reaches in the back and pulls something out and looks at it.
Mer:I never thought i would have to use this...
Derek was walking around the kitchen getting things ready for dinner when he felt himself reaching for his pocket. He sighed and reached in pulling out a velvet black box. He opened it and looked. A beautiful ring layed there.
Derek shut the box and went to look in the cabinet when he heard a scream. He raced to the bathroom.
Meanwhile In The Bathroom...
Meredith looked at the stick. It couldn't be right could it. She couldn't be...Could she?
Meredith thought about it and she was late and she had been feeling sick for a couple weeks now. This thought made her scream. All Of a sudden she heard Derek at the door...
Der:MER WHAT"S WRONG?
Mer:Nothing...
Der:Mer i know you well enough to know its never nothing.
Mer:It was a spider yea a spider!
Der:Mer...
Mer:It was huge! Daddy long legs i stepped on it. It's all good now.
Meredith picked up the box and threw it toward the garbage can and then opened the door to see Derek leaning there.
Der:What's going on?(Derek had a slight grin on his face)
Mer:Nothing!
Meredith ran back toward her room and slammed the door.
Derek sighed and was turning around when he saw a box on the floor. He walked over toward the box and picked it up and looked at it with shock written on his face when he heard footsteps on the steps. He looked at the door to see Meredith in sweats standing there.
Der:Mer is th-
Mer:Before you say anything the box your holding dosen't't belong to me it belongs to Ozzie and that is why i screamed.
Derek sighed.
Der:I had a scare there, I mean could you imagine how screwed up things would be if you were pregnant? yikes!
Meredith felt her heart drop.
Mer:Yea bad...What would you do?
Der:I don't know..i really don't know...
Mer:Would you be mad?
Der:no...i think not...i don't know
Mer:Ok we don't have to worry about this so can we drop it?
All of a sudden they heard Izzie coming up the stairs.
Izzie walked past the bathroom and saw what Derek was holding and gasped she looked at Mer.
Izzie:Mer!
Meredith gave Izzie a "Please Don't!" look.
Izzie:I thought you were on call tonight.
Meredith gave her a thanking look.
Mer:I switched with Christina(which was true)
Der:Congrats Izzie!
Izzie:huh?
Der:This is yours?
Izzie:OH! Um yea, mine all mine! like i would never give it to anyone its mine!
Meredith sighed
Der:Well then congrats?
Izzie:Um actually i got a blood test done and um I'm not you know it was negative,yea well night i mean um I'm gonna go change. Mer can you come with me to help me find the earrings i dropped in my room?
Mer:Izz,your rambling.but yes i will come.
They leave and Derek stands there replaying what just happened in his head.
Meridith chased into Izzie's room and slammed the door shut. She faced Izzie.
Izzie:Can you tell me whats going on?
Mer:Nothing its just that I'm pregnant, no biggie.
Izzie:MER!
Mer:What?
Izzie:Seriously?
Mer:Seriously
Izzie:OMG! SERIOUSLY!?
Izzie starts dancing around the room
Mer:YES! your so weird...she giggles
Izzie stops
Izzie:And your not telling Derek because?
Mer:He doesn't want me to be pregnant...
Izzie:What? How dose he not want you to be pregnant if he doesn't even know your pregnant?
Mer:When he saw the test he was happy it wasn't mine-
Izzie:But it was!
Mer:BUT,I kinda told him it was yours and he said good because it would be bad if it was mine.
Meridith had tears in her eyes.
Izzie:Mer...Once he knows the truth,he will be soooooooo happy.
Mer:I need to leave for a little bit
Izzie:WHAT?! MER!!! don't leave! were at the end of our internship and your pregnant with McDreamy's baby you can just pick up and lea-
Mer:Izzie Calm Down! I meant for like a few hours!
Izzie:Oh! Thank God! What about Derek?
Mer:I'll go talk to him.
(Meridith leaves and Izzie goes to her closet to change)
Cut to bathroom, Derek is still standing there box in hand.
Mer:What are you doing? Meridith giggled.
Der:Izzies not pregnant?
Mer:No
Der:Your not pregnant?
Mer:No why would you think that?
Der:Just wondering...
Mer:Well I'm not
Der:Okay
He walks up to her and kisses her cheek.
Mer:Umm I have to leave i forgot i have to meet up with one of my old friends at Joe's.
Der:Oh. Alright then i guess ill leave.
Mer:Lets go
Der:yeah...
Meridith and Derek are leaving the driveway at the same time.
Meridith pulls up at Joes.
Mer:Hey Joe
Joe:Hey! Hows my best costumer?
Mer:Not to good...
Joe hands her a shot of tequila
Joe:Then this one is on the house
Mer:Cant, you gonna find out sooner or later so ill tell you now, I'm pregnant!
Joe:What!
Mer:Yep
Joe:McDreamys?
Mer:Joe! who else would you think?!
Joe:Alex,George,McSteamy,-
Mer:Okay 1st of all, I never slept with Alex and 2nd it IS dereks.
Joe:Oh so water?
Mer:yeah
Joe:here you are
Hands her a glass of water
Mer:Thanks
Joe:you know Mer, i just got a new karaoke machine you could try it out...
Mer:you know what i will
Mer gets up and goes to a stage Joe has set up and a song starts just as Derek walks in the bar.
A/N:The song Mer is gonna sing 4 In The Morning By:Gwen Stefani)
Wakin up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had it's say
I guess I feel alright
Derek was worried about her. She left about 15 minutes ago and he already missed her. He needed to know what was bothering her she seemed almost nervous talking to him. He finally decided he needed to go to Joes just to see her and see who the friend she was meeting was. Derek made his way into Joes to see Meridith standing on the stage Joe had put in getting ready to sing. He took a seat at the bar and listened to her sing.
Derek had never noticed how good her voice really was.
But it hurts
when I think,
when I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
Watchin you sleep, it hurts a lot
Joe:Hey Dr.Shepard
Der:Hey Joe
Joe:She has a good voice
Joes sets a single malt scotch in front of Derek.
Der:Yea...How drunk is she? She must of had alot to drink if shes singing karaoke.
Joe:Nothing she walked in sat down and sat up and sang...
Der:Oh
Derek was surprised Meridith Grey not drinking while sitting at a bar? odd
Derek turned in his seat and just watched Meridith sing.
And all I know is you've got to give me everything
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me
Meredith looked around the bar while she was singing and got caught in a gaze met with a beautiful pair of blue eyes. She stared at him for a minute then got back to singing. A tear fell down her cheek as she thought of him saying yikes to a baby.
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come on do it right
Derek saw a tear fall down her cheek and he wondered why it was there.
Joe looks between the two and sighs.
Joe:You really do love her don't you?
Derek turns back around.
Der:Yeah i do
Joe:You should tell her more
Der:yea
Joe:Derek can i ask you a question?
Der:Shoot
Joe:Why in the world are you in a tux?
Derek chuckles
Der:I was supposed to have a date tonight but it didn't really work out.
Joe:oh
Derek then remembers what is in his pocket and reaches in and grabs to black velvet box.
Der:Joe?
Joe:Yea?
Der:I think i know a way to tell her i love her
Joe glances at the box
Joe:She won't say no if that's what your worried about
Der:i don't know what I'm worried about
All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't wanna lose the love I found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair, how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more
Just then the interns walk through the door. They all make their way to the bar. Joe gets everyone drinks.
Christina:Two things. 1- Why is my person singing? and 2- Why is McDreamy in a tux?
Der:Mer is singing because she wanted to sing and I'm in a tux because i want to be in a tux. Derek was in no mood to deal with the interns tonight.
Izzie:Geez! Someones a Mr.Grumpy Gills
Geogre and Alex:Mr.Grumpy Gills?
Izzie:Shut up!
Izzie noticed an odd look on Derek's face then it hit her.
Izzie:Mer told you!
Der:Told me what?
Derek was now more confused then ever. Meridith made her way to the bar.
Izzie:Mer you told him! Congrats!
Mer:Izzie what are you talking about?
Meridith gave Izzie a pleading look.
Christina:Yea whats going on?
Izzie:Ummmm i think i had to much to drink i'm gonna call a cab bye.
George:What was that about? She had one sip of beer.
Mer:You know Izzie shes weird...
And all I know is you've got to give me everything
Nothing less 'cause you know I give you all of me
Der:George, Alex you guys wanna play darts?
G&A:Sure

Christina:Okay what was that?
Meridith:imkindahavingababy
Christina spits out her beer.
Christina:KINDA HAVING A WHAT?
Mer:SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christina:Sorry so McDreamys?
Mer:Obviously!
Christina: Did you tell him?
Mer:I don't know how...
Meridith tells Christina everything that had happened in the last 3 hours.
Christina:Wow
Mer:i know
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I wanna make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time
Baby if we're gonna do it come on do it right
All of a sudden the guys come back and Derek grabs Meridith from the bar stool and sets her on the bar.
Mer:Der what are you doing?she giggles
Der:Something i should of done a long time ago.
Derek kneels on one knee...
Meredith gets tears in her eyes as Derek pulls out the small velvet black box.
Mer:Oh my god Derek!
Der:Meredith, you are the love of my life, i love everything about you. I love your tiny ineffectual fists and I love your lavender smelling hair. I love you in a way that is hard for me to explain. I can't imagine my life without you. I can't wait for us to have a life together and start a family. SO Dr.Meredith Grey will you do me the honor in becoming my wife?
They whole bar was staring at them. Meredith looked at Derek.
Mer:Of course I will.
Derek picked her up and spun her around while kissing her with passion.
Meredith was more than happy but she couldn't get the 3 words that he had said to her out of her mind, start a family.
Maybe things would be okay after all.
Meredith and Derek leave the bar.
Izzie:Oh god! I'm sooooooooo not getting any sleep tonight!
They all laugh
