Hi guys! Another update for you as they're coming to the end of their trip now, and I want to be able to upload the proposal before I go on vacation for two weeks! Hopefully it should be with you in a few days, but then I'm not sure how long it will be before I can update again. I will try my best but I'm going on a pretty busy trip so it might take a little bit longer, I'm sorry. (Hoping I can write on the plane, but I'm also hoping I can sleep it all, so we'll have to see!)

Derek woke to the feeling of soft kisses all over his chest, soft kisses and his girlfriend running her hands gently up and down his sides. It would be really easy to open his eyes and pull her up to his lips, but he was really enjoying the tender affection she was giving him right now. If he stirred he knew she would probably stop or change what she was doing, and he really didn't want her to stop.

It was his birthday, it was his birthday and today was their last full day in Norway before they flew to Iceland for the last three days of their trip. It was all almost over, but he could definitely say this was going to be his best birthday yet. With his Meredith on their last day in Oslo and he was pretty sure he was going to get a lot of sex as well as spending all day with his favourite person.

'Morning,' she giggled, moving her kisses up his neck and to his face, where she kissed all along his jawline before finally planting one on his lips.

'How did you know I was awake?' he smiled, opening his eyes.

'Because I know you.' She giggled, kissing him again.

'Didn't want you to stop.' He whispered.

'I'm not going to.' She promised, kissing him deeper this time. She wasn't wearing what she had gone to bed in that night, she was in what he was sure was even more new underwear. It was black lace, which was his absolute favourite to see her in. 'Happy birthday.' She grinned.

'Thanks.' He smiled.

'You're getting old now.' She giggled, running her hands through his hair, her fingernails scratching his scalp softly.

'I'm not.' He laughed.

'Yes you are,' she teased. 'Old man.'

'Twenty four is not old.' He rolled his eyes.

'It is.' She giggled, kissing the corner of his mouth.

'Shut up,' he feigned offended as she rolled so she was completely on top of him, and he moved his hands to her waist immediately holding her close to him.

'That's not very nice after I got you birthday presents.' She pouted.

'Oh you did?' he smirked.

'I did.' She nodded.

'Hmmm,' he breathed, his hands sliding to her ass. 'Would this be one of my presents?' he cocked an eyebrow, pushing her into his erection.

'Maybe,' she giggled. 'If you want it to be.'

'I do.' He nodded. 'I love you.'

'I love you too.' She breathed, kissing him hard. 'Sex before presents?' she asked breathlessly.

'Presents before sex so we can take our time before we ring mom.' He smirked.

'Okay,' she giggled. 'I like the way you think.'

'Lots of birthday sex.' He kissed her.

'Do you want presents?' she asked, reaching for his hand and kissing it.

'Soon.' He nodded. 'Stay like this for a couple more minutes.'

'Kay,' she whispered, leaning back against him. Her body felt so perfect with his, she was so tiny, yet she still had amazing curves. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, she was perfect.

'Love you.'

'Love you too.' She turned her head to kiss him softly.

'Hmmm,' he smiled.

'What?' she asked.

'Just thinking how pretty you are.' He smirked.

'You always say that!' she laughed.

'Because it's true! I am!'

'Whatever.' She laughed. 'Can I go get you your presents now?'

'but that would mean you moving.' He frowned.

'Only for a minute.' She promised.

'I don't want you to move.' He sucked at her neck.

'Oh..' she moaned. 'But presents, Der.'

'Okay.' He sighed. 'But don't put any clothes on.'

'Why would I put clothes on?' she giggled, moving out of his arms and walking over to her suitcase, pulling out a bunch of cards and a gift bag. 'Should I just take these off?' she asked, stopping in front of the bed, referring to her underwear.

'Please.' He breathed, admiring her body. 'Wait, let me.' He nodded, crawling to the end of the bed to pull her panties down her legs. 'Step out.'

'Kay,' she nodded, putting his gifts down as she did as she said.

'Turn around.'

'Yeah,' she nodded as she turned and he unhooked her bra, wrapping his arms immediately around her waist.

'I love you.'

'I love you too.'

'You're so beautiful.'

'Thanks.' She giggled quietly as he kissed down her back. 'Now presents.'

'Presents.' He agreed, pulling her down to him and she scrambled back underneath the covers, moving his gifts in front of him.

'Cards first,' she nodded, handing him the stack.

'W.. I have cards?' he looked at her.

'Of course you have cards.' She giggled.

'From…' he looked through the pile and recognised several of his family's handwriting. 'Mom… Mark…'

'You didn't think they'd let you miss your birthday and not have any cards did you?'

'I don't know…' he breathed, opening the first one. 'I didn't really think about it.' The first one was from his mom, which he knew before he opened it. 'Mom.' He smiled.

'That's lovely.' Meredith smiled, resting her head on his shoulder as he passed her the card to read, picking up another one.

'Liv and Dex.' He smiled.

'That's nice. She nodded.

'Im.' He grinned, opening a birthday card from his sister who had also put in thirty Norwegian Krone inside. 'Did you tell her we'd be here for my birthday?' he turned slightly to Meredith.

'She asked.'

'Bless her.'

'I know.' She grinned, kissing his cheek. The final four cards were from Lara and Joe, Claire, and Mark, and Tim and Holly.

'As if they all gave me cards.' He smiled.

'Shall I put them up?' she asked softly.

'There's not much point,' he shrugged. 'We leave in the morning.'

'We can still put them up today,' she nodded, taking them off him and once again jumping out of the ned naked. She walked over to the table at the end of their bed and placed the cards in a row before walking to the closet and pulling out a blue balloon.

'What's that?' he laughed as she put it with his cards and it floated up.

'Birthday balloon.' She giggled.

'For me?' he asked as he opened his arms for her to crawl back into.

'For you.' She nodded, kissing him firmly.

'And where did you get that?'

'That would be telling.' She giggled, kissing him quickly.

'Hmmmm.' He grinned.

'Good birthday so far?'

'Great birthday so far.' He nodded. 'Thank you.'

'You're welcome. Now, open my presents.'

'Okay,' he laughed, taking the gift bag off her.

'These are just from me, your mom and everyone's going to give you theirs when we get back.'

'Okay,' he smiled, 'Thank you.'

'You're welcome.' She grinned. 'Come on, open!'

'Okay, okay,' he laughed, taking the first out of the bag.

'I had to think about baggage restrictions…' she said quickly. 'So that's why they aren't very big.'

'They don't have to be big,' he smiled. 'Thanks.' He began to tare the paper revealing his favourite cologne. 'Thanks Mer.'

'You're welcome.' She breathed. 'I know you said you were running out.'

'I am.' He nodded, leaning to kiss her softly. 'Thank you.'

'You're welcome.' She smiled as he picked out the second of the three gifts.

'I love it!' he grinned at his girlfriend as the paper revealed a blue Hollister sweatshirt with a white and blue logo on it. 'This is much nicer than my other ones.'

'I know,' she nodded. 'The materials different…. I don't know what it is but… it's softer.'

'It is.' He nodded.

'And its really comfy.' She giggled.

'How does that not surprise me,' he smirked, knowing full well his girlfriend will have tried it on. No matter how many nice clothes he bought her, she always ended up wearing his. He'd come home after work to find her lay in his bed on her phone wearing his boxers and hoodie most days a week, and as annoying as it was when he wanted something to wear, it was damn cute. And sexy.

'Have to make sure.' She nodded.

'Of course you do.' He breathed, leaning to kiss her. 'Why do I get the feeling this is now ours, rather than mine.'

'Because that's what it is.' She laughed, snuggling into him.

'Hmmm.' He smiled.

'Last one.' She whispered, wrapping her arms around his waist as he pulled out an envelope in wrapping paper.

'Open.' She grinned.

'I'm opening.' He laughed, ripping open the envelope when two tickets fell into his hand. 'Mer….'

'That's good, right?' she bit her lip, looking up at him.

'Oh my god… that's perfect!' he pulled her into a tight hug, her naked breasts pressing against his chest. 'Mer….'

'I saw that they were coming to Boston… so I thought you'd want to go.'

'The clash.' He grinned.

'I got you two… I don't know if Mark likes them or not so I got you two and if Mark likes them he can go with you or whatever or I can go…. I don't mind… it's your present.'

'You are definitely coming with me.' He grinned.

'Okay.' She beamed back.

'You hate the clash.' He laughed softly, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear.

'But you love them.' She whispered, kissing him deeply.

'Thank you.'

'You're welcome.'

'You're the best.'

'So are you.' She pressed her lips against his. 'Are you going to ring your mom?'

'Yeah.' He nodded, picking up his cell as Meredith rested herself on his chest, kissing his abdomen quickly.

'Hi mom.' He grinned down the phone.

'Oh, hello dear, happy birthday!'

'Thanks Ma.' He laughed softly. 'Thank you so much for my card.'

'Oh you're welcome sweetheart. Are you having a good day so far?'

'Yeah.' He nodded. 'It's only ten here but this morning's been amazing.'

'I wont ask why,' Alison laughed, causing Meredith to blush.

'Can you tell the others thanks for their cards too? And Im for the money. We're going to go somewhere nice for dinner with it tonight.'

'I will indeed.' His mother nodded. 'What are you up to the rest of the day?'

'We think we're just going to have a quiet one, maybe go for a walk and some lunch and then come home and get ready for dinner.'

'That sounds like a lovely way to spend your birthday.'

'It should be great.' He agreed.

'I cant wait to see you. I've missed you so much Derek.'

'Me too ma,' he smiled. 'But this time next week and we'll be home.'

'You will! I cant believe how quickly it's gone.'

'Me neither.' He breathed, running his hand along Meredith's back. 'We've got so many photos to show you.'

'Oh good.'

'And Meredith can tell you all about the food.' He laughed.

'I'm sure she will.'

'Hey!' pouted Meredith. 'You like the food here too.'

'I do.' He laughed, kissing her quickly.

'I am looking forward to seeing the two of you. Maybe I can make your favourite dinner the day you come home?'

'That would be amazing, Thanks Ma.'

'You're welcome, dear. It's a shame I'll only see you for a week before you head back to Dartmouth.'

'I know.' He sighed. 'But you know you can come and visit whenever you want. And we'll have a spare room now so you can stay the weekend.'

'That would be wonderful.'

'When we've settled in and made the apartment our own we'll arrange for you to come stay.'

'I would love that, Derek.'

'How is everyone?'

'Good.' His mom said casually. 'Nothing much to report.'

'Good.' He nodded. 'You can fill us in when we get home.'

'I can indeed,' Alison laughed softly. 'So what time is your flight in the morning?'

'Six.'

'And then you're in Iceland?'

'We're in Iceland.' He nodded. 'And then home.'

'Home.' His mom echoed. 'Well, I wont take any more of your time, dear. Enjoy your birthday and pass on my love to my Meredith.'

'I will.' Derek smiled down at his girlfriend.

'Stay safe and have a good day. I love you so much.'

'Thanks ma. I love you too.' He grinned before saying goodbye.

'She's too cute.' Meredith breathed.

'She is.' He agreed.

'I've missed her.'

'You have?' he asked gently.

'Yeah.' She nodded. 'I love your family.'

'Me too.'

'And she can definitely come stay with us.'

'She can.'

'I suppose we can hold off on the mad sex for one night.' She giggled.

'It's going to be awful going back to mom's next week.' He groaned, thinking about the carefree sex theyd been able to have while theyd been away.

'I know.' She kissed his chest. 'But its only for six days. And we'll be jetlagged the first couple.'

'True.'

'And then we have a whole new apartment to christen.' She grinned.

'Every room?' he raised his eyebrows.

'Every room.' She nodded. 'And just think, when we live there alone you can fuck me on the kitchen table whenever you want and no one can walk in.'

'This is true.' He breathed, rolling her back on top of him.

'So, a few days of less sex can be made up for with five years of non-stop sex.' She giggled.

'More like a life time of non stop sex.' He corrected.

'That's a lot of sex.' She laughed.

'We like a lot of sex.' He grinned, squeezing her ass.

'We do.' She grinned back, kissing him.
