AN: Thanks for the kind reviews. For the people asking; yes I meant robes. I corrected it. :P

Meredith woke up with her head resting on Nathan's chest, who was still sleeping. His left arm was wrapped around her back and holding her close. Her right arm was flat across his stomach. Suddenly she felt that he was shaking his head, and then that he started blowing.

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

"Your hair is in my face... and I didn't want to use my hands to move it 'cause I was afraid that I would wake you up." He answered, and then he used his hands to move the hair from his face.

"I was already awake." She repositioned her self, now she was beside Nathan, resting on her elbows and looking at him. "Good morning."

"Good morning Mer." And he leaned in for a kiss.

They kissed for a while, it wasn't rushed or anything, just sweet little kisses.

He was now sitting, and she sat right next to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"No one knows that we aren't at that conference, you know?" He said.

"So?" She wanted to know where he was going with this, although she was pretty sure where he was headed.

"We could just stay here together for the next couple of days." He said.

"I wish we could... I can't be away from my children for two more days without a reason. Momma getting some hot sex is not a good enough reason. I would be a terrible mother if I just hid here." She said, and she could feel him smirking at the 'hot sex' comment.

"That's understandable. Although I highly doubt that there is any possibility for you ever being a terrible mother." He hadn't really thought about her kids before his suggestion, but since she brought them up he decided to ask her about them. "Mer, tell me about your kids." He said.

She wanted to tell him about them, but it scared her how fast their relationship suddenly was developing. She took a deep breath before she started talking. "The oldest one is Zola. I call her Zozo. She's adopted. Alex was working on a project he called the Africa project, and she was one of the patients. Derek was treating her and he fell in love with her. It didn't take her a lot of time to win me over either. We had had a miscarriage not long before that, so adoption was a good option for us at that time. Then there's Bailey..." She said but Nathan interrupted her.

"Wait! You named your kid after the chief?" He asked.

"Yes. He's actually called Derek Bailey, but he goes by Bailey. I had an emergency c-section during a storm, and if it wasn't for Dr. Bailey I wouldn't have survived. The youngest one is Ellis, obviously named after my mother. She's my baby, she just turned 1 years old in January..." Again Nathan interrupted her. She found his interest in her kids charming.

"1 year? That means that Derek never met her, right?" He asked carefully, he thought it was better to ask her that, than if Ellis was Derek's child, because he was pretty sure that Derek was the father of all her children.

"No he didn't. The morning of the day he died we decided to have another child, and well, I got pregnant. When he died I didn't know what to do with myself, I left Seattle with my kids right after the funeral. When I had given birth to Ellis, the hospital contacted Alex since he was my emergency contact, and that's when I came home again. He took me and my kids home." She said.

"I'm so sorry Mer. I know I've said several times that I understand your loss and that I've been through the same grief, but in addition to losing the man you loved, you also lost the father of your children. I actually can't imagine how tough that must have been." He said.

"I got through it... To be honest I don't know if it's tougher than when you don't have children. I can see him in our kids everyday, and I had to pull my shit together, because my children needed me. You were left alone." She paused for a while, she wasn't sure if he could handle her asking him want she wanted to ask, but she gathered the courage to ask. "...did you and Megan talk about having kids?"

"Yes, a lot actually. We wanted to get married and go back to America first, but she got lost before we had a chance to leave the Middle East..." He said. It was easier for him to ask about Derek than to talk about Megan, so he tried to make the conversation about Derek and Meredith again. "Were you married when you got Zola?" He asked.

"Yes. It's a funny story actually. We wanted to get married for a long time, but we never got around to do it. When we were filling Zola's adoption papers, there was a question about our maritial status, and next thing I knew Derek proposed and we went straight to city hall..." She paused for a while, and he didn't say anything. "...It was actually the same day that Arizona and Callie got married, so we kind of skipped their wedding."

"Spontaneous." He said with a smile.

"Yeah I guess so." She said, and they were quiet for a while. Meredith broke the silence, "Nathan... To be honest, I think if I was a fly on the wall here, I would think that this was really weird."

"What is weird?" He asked.

"We're naked in bed together, adoring our former lovers." She said and laughed, he laughed as well. But then he got serious.

"Wait, are you uncomfortable with talking about this?" He hoped he hadn't started something that she was uncomfortable with.

"No, not uncomfortable. That's the strange part. It actually feels good, although I get sad when I talk about him."

"Good, I agree with you. I guess it's a comfortable topic, because we loved them when they passed away, and we will always love them and they will always be a part of our lives somehow. It would definitely be uncomfortable to adore them like this if they were alive and we just had broke up with them."

"I guess that's what makes this so good, we understand eachother." She said

"Well that amongst other things." He answered.

"Like what?" She questioned him.

"What do you mean 'like what'? Have you forgotten about our 'hot sex'?" He said teasing her with her earlier comment, she tried to hide her smile, but then he said. "Do you want me to remind you exactly how hot our sex is?" He said, flipped over and started kissing her.

"I haven't forgotten, but I'll gladly be reminded." She said with a smile.

He continued kissing her, but then he started laughing a little.

"What's so funny?" She asked as she gently pushed him away, she was thinking that he laughing at what she said.

"Sorry it's not what you said, I just realised that this is like the eight time we are going to have sex but the first time in a bed" He explained.

"God... We're like a couple of horny teenagers. Besides how do you get to eight?" She asked him.

"Car - four times, airplane – once, shower – twice and that makes this the eight time." He answered

"If you say so." She said and closed the distance between them.
