Meredith was sitting in her kitchen at the dining table, in the house that used to be her mothers but became hers when her mother passed away some years ago.

She sighed and looked down at the card in her hand, a light yellow-is colored card with a rose on the front, as she read over the first line again.
Her mind drifted back to one and a half year ago, at that time she had everything she wished for. She had the perfect job as surgeon, the house she loved since her childhood, amazing friends and especially the most amazing man in her life, that she could wish for, a man she was still in love with. Now she had everything she wanted in live except for that man.

She sighed as she looked down at the card again, a wedding invitation from her ex, who was about to marry another woman today, his freaking ex to be exactly. A tear formed in her eye, as she quickly wiped it away.


Derek helped Meredith fix her coat before they both turned around to go home.

They were met with a beautiful red haired woman, and Derek his eyes were wide-open, noticing someone he knows, but doesn't want to see.

"Meredith i'm so sorry" he said as he touched her arm gently before turning to face the woman "Addison, what are you doing here?" He asked angrily

" well, you'd know if you bothered to return any one of my phone calls" the red haired woman told him, before turning towards Meredith and sticking out her hand "hi, i'm Addison Shepherd" the woman introduced herself as they shook hands

"Shepherd?" Meredith asked not sure why this felt so strange

Addison pointed at Meredith " and you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband"


She still couldn't believe that happened, but they managed it in the beginning.

Meredith forgave Derek for not telling that he was married, they had a good talk and they worked things out.

But Meredith still felt like she couldn't trust him and that is when the problems started, and at the moment she needed him the most she pushed him away, in the end they broke up. But Meredith never stopped loving him and still missed him.

Meredith read over the invitation again, not sure why he send her one in the first place, sure they still worked together but they barely had contact.

Her eyes lingered over the address of the church and she knew it wasn't from her house. She thought about going to it for a moment, but she was too afraid that she would be to late, she just couldn't show up at a wedding after all these years, could she? But at the same time she couldn't stop wondering if there was still a slight chance that he still loved her.

Her eyes lingered over the card again and she felt he stomach turn around, thinking about him marrying Addison again. She wanted him to be hers, she needed him to be hers.

Before she got aware of it, she had her coat on and was heading towards her car. She got in and started to drive towards to the church as she hoped she still would be on time to have a talk with Derek.

Not long after that she was standing in front of the church, wondering if she could just walk in, or that she just should turn around and go home.

Her heart was making more heartbeats in an hour than it was supposed to be and her hands got all sweaty and started to shake. Meredith took a deep breath before deciding to go in.

She slowly opened the door of the church and walked in. At the moment the door opened everyone inside turned around to see who's in there.

At that moment Meredith wished she could just disappear right there, she hated to be watched in crowds. She took another deep breath and let her eyes search for the blue ones that belonged to Derek.

When Meredith noticed those blue eyes, she could drown in, she also was met with the brown couple eyes that belonged to Addison, a woman that she couldn't hate even is she wanted to. The woman who was about to become Derek his wife for the second time. Meredith sighed before walking over to the couple.

"Meredith what are you doing here?" Derek asked confused

Meredith looked him in the eyes " Derek can we talk for a moment, somewhere in private?" She asked nervously

Derek just looked at her "Meredith, I'm about to get married, what is it that you want from me" Derek snapped, annoyed that She came in disturbing his marriage.

"You" Meredith blurted out without thinking, while a small smile crossed her face

Derek looked shocked "What?.. what?" he asked

"You asked what I want and my answer is you.. Derek I want you!. I know I made a choice back then by pushing you away but it is a choice that I regret for one and a half year now. I had trust issues back then and I didn't let you in when I needed you. See after Addison showed up, I was constantly afraid of losing you. And when I needed you.." She took a deep breath, knowing Addison and Derek both didn't know what she was about to tell "after my miscarriage I needed you to be there for me but I pushed you away instead. I'm sorry for that Derek.. But Derek I know that I was wrong and I tried to let you be happy with Addison, because she is an awesome woman and not easy to hate. And she is more than I ever can offer you and Is way better for you than I am.. but I love you and I can't let you go without knowing for sure that you don't love me anymore. See Derek you have a choice here, it's her or me and I'm sure she is really great, but Derek I love you in a really, really big.. pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheese cake, hold a radio above my head outside your window, so pick me, choose me, love me, because Derek I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want you to be the father of my children en no one else." Meredith said as tears formed in her eyes

"Meredith you left me, why should I take you back after 1,5 year when I'm about to marry Addison, who is indeed a awesome person" Derek said as he looked up from Meredith to Addison and back. Deep inside Derek didn't know what to do, he still loved Meredith and the fact that she did want to have children with him made him love her even more, because she never wanted children before, hell he thought so but now she miscarried her child. Derek his mind kept going back and forth.

And then there was Addison the woman he spend half of his life with, the woman who always kept a place in his heart but also the woman who once cheated on him with his best friend.

"Never mind, I shouldn't have come here" Meredith said as she turned around and ran out the church as fast as she could. Outside she collapsed on the pavement, Knees on the ground, head in her hands and she started to cry.

Derek watched Meredith running away out of the church.
He turned his head to take a look at Addison who was standing there waiting for him, then he looked at the door and at his best man and best friend Mark.
He didn't know what to do but then Mark gave him a nod telling him to go after her, he turned around to face Addison "I'm sorry Addison" he said before running after Meredith. When he got outside he noticed her there with her knees on the pavement and her head in her hands and his heart broke hearing her cry.
He slowly walked over to her and kneeled down in front of her.

"Meredith" he softly said as he placed one hand on her shoulder, and using the other one to to lift her head forcing her to look at him "please look at me Mer"

Meredith looked up to meet his eyes "i'm so sorry" she cried

"Shhht its okay, it's all going to be okay now" Derek answered as he handed Meredith both of his hands to help her stand up, so that they both were standing and facing each other, he placed a kiss on her forehead as he looked into her green eyes "I just need to know one thing from you, do you love me? and are you ready to trust me, to let me in, in your life?" He asked her, cause he knew that trust was their problem last time

Meredith looked up at him "yes, Yes I love you more than anything. I just didn't know what I had before I lost it" She said while she wiped away a tear on her cheek "and yes I am ready to trust you and let you in, Derek I had 1.5 year to fix my problems.. I love you" I said before brushing her lips against his, before kissing him deeply

Derek returned the kiss and he wrapped his arms around her "I've missed you so much Mer, I love you too" He told her as he kissed her again. "I think we have to go inside and explain everyone that I can't marry Addison again, Deep inside my heart I was hoping that you would come to me so we could fix everything. But I really was done pushing you and it was your time now to come to me, wand you almost missed our chance" he said as he smiled his mcdreamy smile at her, and he wiped away a tear that was leaving her cheek.

I" didn't want to ruin your relationship with Addison, you both tried so hard to fix things again, I just couldn't tell you how I feel about you. but this afternoon I was sitting in my house with your wedding invitation in my hand and before I knew I was standing here. I couldn't just let you marry Addison, because I want you to marry me someday " Meredith said to him while she drowned in his blue eyes all over again, and she kissed him again. Before answering him "I think you are right, we should go in" she told him, knowing they were about to ruin a wedding

Derek took her hand in his and they both walked back in the church. As they walked in all eyes are focused on them. As they walked ahead Meredith noticed Addison crying in Mark his and Meredith walked over towards them and Meredith let go of Derek his hand, out of respect for Addison and she give them the space to talk.

Derek walked over to Addison and took the hug over from Mark "I'm sorry Addison" He whispered in her ear as he gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't be Derek, I knew you still have feelings for her" Addison whispered into his ear "And I know she loved you, I think I'm okay with it I guess I only want you to be happy and besides that I cannot live with being a second choice, she always would have been the first in your heart, I know that now" Addison told him as she gave him a kiss on his lips, a last kiss for the both of them "But Derek I don't want to lose you, please tell me we can be friends, I can't lose you after all these years we have spent together. " she said to him, knowing she couldn't stop loving him just like that.

"You won't lose me, we can be friends" Derek assured her "oww Adds I'm so sorry, but I am in love with Mer, I always have and always will. I thought I messed things with her up so I tried and did my best to love and forgive you and I do love you and you will always keep a part of my heart" he said and he gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
After the kiss he went back to Meredith and he wrapped an arm around her before looking at the crowd of people standing there all wanting to know what is going on.

"I'm sorry people but the wedding is off" Derek said as he gavew Meredith a quick kiss on the lips.
Derek and Meredith started to walk away together when Addison stopped them.

"You know it's not necessary to cancel the wedding, c'mon I know you both love each other so much and you already know each other for a long time, okay you haven't been together for a year and a half, but Derek I noticed the look in your eyes when you saw her and Meredith I've been seeing the same in your eyes. I knew this someday would happen but I just felt save in Derek's arms because we have been many years together, but it was not the same as before. Why don't you two just get married? Just take the step I know it is scared" she says looking at Meredith "But if you really want to spend your life's together just take the chance." She said looking at the both of them now "both your friends are here since almost the whole hospital is here" she said smirking.

Derek turned around to face Meredith and he knelt down on one knee "Meredith Ellen Grey do you want to marry me and spent the rest of your life with me?" he asked her hoping she was ready for it. He knew he was going fast, but he didn't mind

Meredith felt the tears welling up in her eyes "Yes, Yes of course I want to marry you" she answered him and she pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss.
