Mission to Sleep – Part 2

Derek's POV

I'm exhausted; I've been tossing and turning in this big comfy empty bed since I crawled into

It and I can't fall asleep. I'm so used to cuddle with her, having my arms wrapped around her waist and smelling her scent of lavender as I drift off into sleep.

Tonight on the other hand, she's alone at the hospital and I'm here alone at home in our bed

That is way too big without her. I was going to go to the trailer since I haven't spent the night

There once since Meredith and I got back together, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It doesn't feel like home, it doesn't feel like Meredith. I knew I wouldn't get any sleep there at all, here is my best chance.

I have an aneurysm surgery scheduled for 6 am. I need sleep, so I grab her pillow, wraps an arm around it while smelling it's scent, knowing that it smells like her. At peace and not feeling like something is missing as I finally succumb to the sleep that's been plaguing me.

Next morning

I got up extra early, good and well rested. Forgoing my morning Muesli to grab a couple

of croissants from that bakery she loves, and 2 take out lattes. Knowing she must have had a

Hard night on call, I want to spend a few minutes with her having breakfast before we head off

to our busy day and different surgeries.

I head to drop my coat and bag off in my office before heading to the on call floor to find her, when I notice the cutest thing ever. My Meredith, fast asleep curled up on my office couch with my lab coat wrapped around her like a blanket. I kneel on the floor, wrapping her hair around my hand while stroking her cheek knowing she had to wake up soon or feel the wrath of Bailey for being late to rounds.

I lean in and whisper in her ear. "Guess I wasn't the only one who had trouble getting to sleep."

She stirs lightly and when she says my name it just warms my heart. "Derek, you're here?"

"Well considering it is my office, yes I'm here" I reply in amusement at her shock to see me.

"Oh yeah" she giggles while pulling my lab coat around her more before trying to go back to sleep. "I needed you, and breaking into your office is the closest I could get."

"Breaking in huh? Well lets keep that tidbit of info to ourselves, don't need the chief our your resident finding out about your breaking and entering extra curricular activities." I tell her in jokingly, while just looking at her in awe of the lengths she'd go through because she missed me.

"It'll be our secret; do I smell coffee Dr. Shepard?" Meredith said with a grin as she sat up.

"Yes you do Dr. Grey a good day starts with a good breakfast if you recall correctly and something else…" I drift in my words as I lean into her capturing her lips in a sweet good morning kiss.

One that I intend to give her every morning for the rest of our lives.
