I don't own it, wish I did. This is the sequal to "Burn"

I don't own the song either, its "Rockabye" by Shawn Mullins


Excerpt from Burn:

"I knew it was you. While I was under, I had this feeling. I felt you. I felt your hands, your breath, your essence. I knew you were there with me. OH Meredith, I'm so proud of you. Words will never explain how proud I am of you. You are the love of my life. The reason my world goes around. I am forever debted to you not only for saving my life, but for being the woman of my dreams." He grabbed her and held her close. He was never letting her go again.


She looked up at him, she had never looked so happy. "Derek, " she whispered as he started to fall asleep. "Hmmmmm, " he replied. She paused, took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant."

They stood there, joy filling their eyes, as they gazed into the nursery. There she was. The tiny life they had created together. She was beautiful. An angel from above. She had wavy dark blonde hair, electric blue eyes, and she already had dimples and she didn't even have to smile. She was the most beautiful being either had ever seen. Her name was Grace.

Derek & Meredith had overcome so much in the past few months when they found out Meredith was pregnant with Grace. Derek was recovering from his brain surgery. He had just regained his memory. They were laying in bed the night of his surgery, when Meredith told him. "Derek, " she whispered as he started to fall asleep. "Hmmmmm, " he replied. She paused, took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant."

He looked up at her, eyes filled with joy and happiness. "Oh, Meredith, I am so happy. I can't believe I came so close to missing this. Thank you so much for saving me, Mere, you saved me in more ways than I will ever be able to explain." He placed his hand on her stomach, "Hey little one, I'm your daddy. I can't wait to meet you. I hope you are as beautiful as your mother." He leaned down and kissed her belly. "Good night peanut." With that, he kissed Meredith on her forehead and they lay in his hospital bed and drifted to sleep.

Meredith noticed Derek was zoning out again, "Hey, what are you thinking about?" She asked him. He just looked at her and smiled. "What?" She returned his smile. Before she could ask him again what was on his mind, her thoughts were interrupted by baby Gracie crying. They looked into the nursery at their wailing daughter. The nurse picked her up and began to rock her and sing her a lullaby. Gracie was still screaming hysterically. Meredith's motherly instincts kicked into gear.

She entered the nursery and took Gracie from the nurse. Being a doctor at SGH sometimes had its advantages. She cradled Gracie in her arms and began to sing, "everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye"

Gracie was sound asleep as Meredith continued to hum the song to her. Derek watched in awe as he realized how motherhood came so easily to Meredith. He realized he had never loved her as much as he did in that moment, while she was swaying in the moonlight with their daughter.

Meredith laid Gracie back into her cradle and she crept out of the nursery. Derek pulled her into his arms, "Meredith, I love you so much. I have never been happier than I am at this moment." He kissed her with more intensity and electricity than he had ever kissed her. There was something different about this kiss. If possible, it seemed as though they were more connected than before.

They walked back to Meredith's room and tried to get some sleep. It had been a very strenuous day, and Gracie was sound asleep in the nursery so they figured they better sleep while they can. They knew once they went home with her, their nights would be filled with diaper changes, crying, feedings and more. As they held one another, their hearts beating together, they drifted to sleep, both with smiles on their faces.

Sometime in the middle of the night, they were awoken by Bailey. She was nervous and upset and distraught and talking too fast for Meredith and Derek to understand. Finally she slowed down enough to spit out the bad news, "It's Gracie, she, she," Bailey was on the verge of hyperventhilating, "She's missing."
