A/N: Sorry for the long delay. I never have my laptop over the summer, but I'm back so be expecting many updates! Thanks for reading!
The alarm went off with a loud shrieking noise that jolted both Meredith and Derek from their sleep.
"Ughhhh…" Meredith groaned. She hit the alarm off with a slap of the button, and then rolled over into Derek's chest.
"Morning" he mumbled. She craned her neck up to his smiling face above hers. He kissed her lightly on the head and she returned his smile. She stretched like a cat and yawned before asking "Are you ready for your first day back to work?" She knew that he had told her that he wanted to be back for good, but she still had doubts with him leaving his job big job in D.C.
"Absolutely" he responded. He looked over her shoulder to the clock. "Speaking of which we should probably get a move on."
She huffed and rolled over onto her back. She had always hated mornings, but he was always up and moving before she could even think straight. He laughed at her dramatized huffs as he pulled on his pajama pants, "I'll go make some coffee."
Meredith heaved herself out of bed and went through her daily routine of taking a shower, brushing her teeth, etc. Because she always got up this early for work, her body just went on autopilot. She stared in her closet for a while, but decided to just put on the first thing she saw since she would be changing into her scrubs in no time anyway. She heard Derek walk in and he said "The kids are eating breakfast, there is coffee and bagels." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and then hurried into the bathroom to get ready himself, so they wouldn't be late (He usually took longer to get ready than her because of all his hair treatment).
Meredith went to the kitchen and grabbed her coffee before Zola screamed out "Morning mamaaa!"
"Morning Zozo, Morning Bails"
She grabbed a bagel and munched on it before grabbing the kids' shoes and putting them on because for some reason it always seemed to be a reason for them being late.
Derek strolled out of their room with his bed-head hair now looking tamed and somehow perfect. He saw her admiring him, so he smirked and she looked away shaking her head slightly red.
"Ready?" she asked. Meredith was a little nervous to go back herself since all of her friends would have millions of questions about Derek and her since she had taken the day off yesterday.
"Ready" If Derek was worried or nervous, she couldn't tell, he either wasn't or was good at hiding it.
