Leaving Martinique had been difficult for Meredith and Derek. Leaving abundant warmth, sunshine, and pristine beaches to return to misty woods, nearly constant downpours and chilly temperatures – well, the two couldn't compare. They loved Seattle, but thought that if they were given the option, they could live in Martinique forever. However, Meredith needed to take care of some urgent business regarding McFetus, as they had begun to call their baby. They had agreed to tell only Mark and Addison for now, Addison for the obvious reason that Meredith wanted her to be her OB/GYN for the duration of her pregnancy, and the two of them together due to the fact that they were currently living with them. Around the time the Sloan twins were born, Derek had sold Mark some of the land he owned. As of right now, a house was being built; however, it would be several months before the home was completed. Meredith loved having Addison there, and she loved having the twins in the house, even if the house was about to get a bit more hectic.
Derek had asked Mark and Addison to pick them up from the airport, so as soon as they had exited customs, he began to look for their friends. With his hand grasped firmly in Meredith's, he led her through throngs of people. Meredith, normally more assertive and independent, let him. She wasn't feeling her best, with the morning sickness and jet lag, so she truly did not care today what he did, as long as she was fine. After a few minutes of searching, they finally saw Marks seemingly high-lighted hair above the crowd. Meredith snickered to herself at his recognizable quality, pressing her fingers to her lips as a wave of nausea rose in her gut. Derek squeezed her hand, noting her facial expression with a worried look. As they approached Mark, however, they saw him break into a wide grin, heading towards the two of them.
"So, how's my favorite dirty mistress?" he joked, referring to Meredith of course. She responded by looking up with a pinched look, holding on to her stomach. Mark made a slight face, looking down at the woman before him. "Oh, that does not look good at all. Der, what did you do to the poor woman!?"
Meredith gasped, pressing a hand to her lips. In the next moment, she dropped Derek's hand before bolting towards the nearest bathroom. Mark looked at Derek quizzically, while Derek attempted to ignore the glance he knew was coming…even though he knew he'd have to tell Mark, seeing as how he lived with them. Besides, Addison was an OB/GYN. She'd take one look at Meredith and know exactly what was happening. So, Derek took a deep breath, let it out, and grinned in Marks direction.
"I'm going to be a daddy!" he exclaimed, grateful that he could tell his best friend, his brother, the most joyous news of his lifetime. Mark stood there, completely shell-shocked by the news. He was speechless, and sputtered slightly as he tried to get words out. After a moment of recovery, he burst into laughter, clapping his brother on the back. Having previously never been the type to be overjoyed by things such as fatherhood, he thrilled for his best friend. He and Derek had grown up together, and had seen each other through so many different things. For the two of them to have finally settled down, and be happy at that? Well, that was just an amazing thing.
"Congrats, man!" he said, pulling Derek into a rather manly hug, complete with more awkward back slapping. "This is so exciting, our kids growing up together…" He trailed off, seeing Meredith coming out of the bathroom. Derek, seeing that she was coming out too, walked towards her and slid an arm around her waist. She looked up at him, a thin sheen of sweat resting on her forehead, her eyes showing just how exhausted she was.
"Let's go home, Der. I need to go home."
Derek kissed her forehead and smoothed her hair back from her face, pulling her towards him. Informing her that Mark knew about their baby would have to wait. Right now, his top priority was the health of his beloved wife.
