Again i really really apologize for the delay...i know you guys must hate me but hopefully this update will make up for it...

So this update is just a cute little thing...the next one will be where it gets SCARY!!!

It had been six months already and Meredith's cravings just got weirder and her hormonal outbursts were more frequent, so every one in the hospital tried to steer clear of her(except Derek), in the sense that they didn't want to upset her more than was already happening.

Presently, Derek was in the middle of surgeries, running around the entire hospital, trying to satisfy another one of Meredith's weird cravings. This time, he had somehow managed to obtain a big bowl of apple tart, caramel, and barbeque sauce, with vanilla ice cream and pickles and reached the on-call room in just under ten minutes!

He hurriedly opened the door, lest he incur her wrath! But it looked like he was too late!

Was she angry? Was she angry? Please let her not be angry.

"Where the hell were you?" Meredith looked like she was in her angry mood again, unfortunately for Derek.

Yeah, she was angry. "I'm sorry Mer. It was really hard to find," Derek said pleadingly, hoping to calm her, as he handed her the bowl.

"I don't care Derek. Do you not understand that I am pregnant?"

"Mer, I.." His words were cut off, mid-sentence. Obviously, Meredith was still very angry.

"Shh.." Meredith put her fingers to her lips to emphasize that Derek needed to shut up. "I'm talking. Do you really think I want to hear your excuses?"

Why? Why couldn't I get here sooner? Derek thought frantically.

"I am six months pregnant Derek. My feet are swollen, I have gas, my back aches like hell and my stomach is bloated, not to mention I have a freaking baby in my stomach that your stupid boy penis made!"

"Now sweetheart, calm down. It'll be good for your blood pressure."

"Don't try to tell me to calm down." Meredith didn't even bother to try and see the meaning behind that. "I'll calm down when I feel like it. I mean I know that you probably think that this is easy and believe me if I could I would gladly switch places with you, but since that is biologically impossible, unless you have come up with a way to do that, I expect to have a few favors taken care of." Meredith's tone was now sarcastic as well as angry.

Derek didn't want to interrupt her again. He patiently stood there, silent as the grave.

"Now, I was really hungry and I just wanted a little snack. Is that so hard to find Derek? You tell me, because if it is, I can come up with the perfect solution: you don't need to do these things anymore, but consider your new sleeping arrangement on the couch from now on."

With your twitching and constant movement and wake-ups, not to mention, snoring, I was beginning to want to sleep on the couch! Man, hormones are so not fun, even for the guy! Of course, Derek did not mention this to her. That would have been a catastrophe! She probably would have denied sex to him too, for a very long time!

"No, Mer…I'm so sorry! I-um…I love you and I love our child with all my heart so I am willing to do whatever it takes to make the both of you happy." And just to make sure, he gave her one of his irresistible mcdreamy grins. That did it.

Meredith instantly softened her gaze, and a soft smile graced her lips while the sparkle in her eyes returned to that of love and happiness. "I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. It's all these damn hormones! I love you and I know you're doing your best, so I'm sorry too."

"Oh that's ok sweetheart."

The two of them shared a soft kiss on the lips, which then deepened as Meredith slowly pushed him back on to the bed, wrapping her arms and legs completely around him. Just when the kiss was getting a little too heated, Derek broke gently away from her lips. Meredith's flushed face looked expectantly at Derek's own. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just thought of something cute…"

"So? What is it?"

"Well…" he lightly chuckled, "You said before that you hate hormones and I was thinking of telling you the same thing but then decided against it when I realized you had the advantage of withholding sex."

"Uh-huh. I'm sure you did. Well just so you know, I couldn't have withheld sex."

"Why not?"

"Hormones are not always a bad thing Derek, you know. For me, I find them extremely useful at times." With that she attacked his lips again, not even waiting for a response, but all the while aware of the huge grin on his face. Just when she had started 'exploring him,' Derek slowly pulled away again, and with a smirk on his face replied, "Kinda like now?"

"Oh yeah….now stop talking and kiss me." This time, both of them attacked each other's lips, and this time no one interrupted, as they made gentle, yet passionate love.

Loud knocking sounded from somewhere in space. Meredith, still half-asleep reached over and turned on the light in the on-call room. Now she could here muted shouts of someone calling her name, relentlessly.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming…" She grumbled as she slowly released herself from Derek's warm embrace, and looked around on the floor for her scrubs. As she did this, Derek stirred from his slumber and asked her what time it was.

She muttered, "Nine in the morning. We've been here for an hour." Now both of them were up. Slowly, but surely the two of them grudgingly dragged on their scrubs, trying to make their appearances look reasonable. Finally, Meredith opened the door, dragging one last hand through her messy hair, revealing a very annoyed Christina.

"Oh my god. You guys still do the McNasty after you are pregnant?" It was still obvious to anyone that Meredith and Derek just had sex, especially since their sleep-filled eyes and hair that screamed sex gave it away.

"What can I say Christina? It must be all those pregnancy hormones, especially the estrogen. It really makes me want to."

"Ok I so didn't need to hear that."

"Dr. Yang, is there something you needed other than telling us the obvious? Because if there isn't I'd really like to go back to sleep here. I haven't had sleep for the past 48 hours."

"Well, McDreamy if you wouldn't have so much sex then this wouldn't be a problem would it? And I never knew you were so cranky in the mornings. You're kinda like me. Not at all like your McPerfectness."

"Seriously Christina! What do you want?" This time it was Meredith's voice that yelled out.

"Ok yeah I get the hormones now. And just to let you know, Bailey is screaming her ass off trying to find you. So you better move it, before she throws a gurney at you."

That got Meredith's attention as she scrambled to improve her appearance, while simultaneously trying to say good-bye. Which was a bit hard at the moment, considering Derek was kissing her neck. Instead, Christina did her job for her, tugging at Meredith's arms.

"Ok McDreamy, you can satisfy your incessant desire later. She has to go now."

Not wanting to piss Christina off any more, seeing as she looked like she was pulled off an interesting case, both of them grudgingly pulled away.

"I'll see you later Derek. I love you."

"I love you too. Meet me at the cafeteria for lunch, at noon."

"Deal." With one last, loving kiss, Meredith walked away with Christina to answer Bailey, neither of them knowing the disastrous turn the day was about to take.
