Derek and Meredith drive to a restaurant near the hospital. They pull into the parking lot and Derek gets out of the car first. He walks over to Meredith's side of the car but she is already out of the car by the time he gets there.

Derek: Hey, you were supposed to let me open the door.

Meredith: Are you trying to be my knight in shining…whatever?

Derek: I am trying.

He smiles his McDreamy smile and Meredith giggles at him.

Derek: Well, I have a lot of making up to do.

Meredith: Yes, yes you do.

He walks towards her, backing her up against the car. She gasps at his proximity. Her heart begins to beat faster as his body nears her own. His eyes travel down her body. He notes her heaving chest and can't help but smirk. He lingers on her breasts before moving down to her stomach. He smiles. The stomach where his, where their, baby is growing.

He looks into her eyes. His body inches closer to hers and her lips begin to tingle in anticipation. Her breathing becomes even more labored. He places his hand on her face and she leans into his touch breathing a sigh of relief. She closes her eyes to savor his touch. God, she missed his touch. His strong, soft, surgeon hands on her smooth, soft, milky skin. She opens her eyes and meets his brilliant pools of blue.

Meredith (huskily): I've missed you. I've missed you so much.

Before Meredith can speak another word, Derek responds by pressing his lips against Meredith's. She gasps at the feel of having his lips once again meeting her. Derek's hand moves through her hair and travels down her back, forcing her body even closer to his. She can feel his growing erection against her stomach and she giggles into his mouth. Her giggle causes her mouth to open slightly and Derek takes advantage and pushes his tongue into her mouth. She gasps at this surprise and then moans into his mouth, only increasing Derek's evident desire.

Their tongues search each other's mouths until they find it necessary to catch their breath. They both stand their panting with their foreheads touching. Derek opens his eyes to meet the bright green eyes of Meredith. They smile at each other. He runs the pad of his thumb along her jaw and over her swollen lips. He kisses her quickly on the lips before kneeling down in front of her.

Meredith: Derek, what are you doing?

Derek looks up at her and smiles. She places her hands in his hair, her fingers winding through his curls. He runs his along the top of her jeans causing her to inhale sharply. He slowly lifts up her shirt, exposing her abdomen. He looks up at her as he brings his lips to her stomach. She gasps as his moist lips make contact with her skin. He plants slow kisses all around her belly button.

Derek (to her stomach in a soft voice): Hey, baby. Your mommy and daddy already love you so much. We can't wait for you to get here. You are going to be either daddy's little princess or his little slugger. I love you.

Derek kisses Meredith's stomach one more time before standing up. Meredith has tears running down her face. He runs the pad of his thumb under her eyes, wiping away her tears. She grabs his face and pulls him in for a passionate kiss. When they finally break apart he looks at her and cocks his head to the side.

Meredith: I love you. I love you so much.

A broad smile crosses his face and he leans forward and kisses her on the forehead.

Derek: I love you too.

Derek begins to put his arm around her to guide her into the restaurant.

Meredith: Derek?

Derek: Yeah?

Meredith: Did you mean what you said earlier?

Derek: About?

Meredith: Marriage. Do you really want to marry me?

Derek turns and faces Meredith. She suddenly feels nervous. She looks down at the ground and begins to fidget with her watch.

Meredith: I don't mean right now. Because that would be crazy, right? I mean, you just got divorced and I'm pregnant. We are going to be parents. Oh my God, we are going to be parents. We have so much to do and planning a wedding would only increase to that. I mean,

Derek: Meredith?

Meredith: What would people think if we just rushed into marriage? Definitely not ready for marriage yet. I just..I mean..what you told your mom on the phone..

Derek (a little louder): Meredith?

Meredith: What?

She looks up at him and he has a huge smile on his face. He brings his hand up to cup her face.

Derek: You are rambling.

She blushes and starts to fidget with her watch again.

Meredith: I just…you know..I don't know..

Derek: Shut up.

She looks up at him in shock and he has an ever bigger grin on his face. He cocks his head to the side and begins to stroke her face with thumb.

Derek: I love you, Meredith Grey. Yes, I do want to marry you. I want to marry you as soon as you are ready. I have wasted too much of my life away from you already and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to build a family with you. I want to make memories with you. I want to spend the rest of my life fighting with you and making love to you. You, Meredith Grey, are it for me. I know that. I see you, and I feel like my chest is too small to contain my heart. I love you, Meredith Grey, and I can't wait until the day that you become Meredith Shepherd. That does have a nice ring to it.

Meredith has tears running down her face. She loves him. She loves him so much. He is it for her and she knows it. She inhales deeply and looks into his deep blue eyes. She sees the love he has for her. She doesn't care what anyone thinks. She doesn't want to be apart from him any longer.

Meredith (quietly): I'm ready, Derek.

Derek looks confused. He doesn't know exactly what she is talking about.

Derek: Okay, then let's go eat.

Meredith giggles.

Meredith: No. I mean I'm ready. I'm ready to be Dr. Shepherd.

He looks at her quickly and sees the seriousness and love in her eyes. He quickly leans in and kisses her passionately. He breaks away and leans his forehead against hers, gazing lovingly into her eyes.

Derek: Are you sure? I don't want to rush you.

Meredith: You're it for me, Derek. I love you. I love you so much that it hurts to breathe without you. This past month I haven't felt human because you weren't in my life. I need you, Derek. I need you to make me human. I never thought about forevers or children until I met you. I want you to be the one constant in my life for the rest of my life. I want to fall asleep in your arms and wake up to your scruffy face kissing my neck. I want you, Derek Shepherd. As they said in "Jerry Maguire", you complete me. I love you and nothing would make me happier than having the pleasure of calling you my husband and being called your wife.

Tears are now flowing freely from both of their eyes. She wraps her arms around his neck and he looks deep into her eyes.

Derek: I love you.

Meredith: I love you.

Derek: Meredith Grey?

Meredith: Yes, Derek Shepherd?

Derek: Will you make me the happiest man in the world and do me the honor of marrying me?

A huge smile spreads across both of their faces. Meredith begins to nod her head profusely.

Meredith: YES! Yes, Derek Shepherd! I will marry you!

Derek suddenly picks Meredith up and swings her around in a circle. She begins giggling. He sets her back down on the ground and immediately takes her face in his hands, placing his forehead on hers.

Derek: I love you. I love you so much. Thank you. Thank you for loving me too.

Meredith smiles at him and her stomach growls loudly. Derek chuckles.

Derek: I guess that's our cue that you need to be fed.

Meredith nods and Derek envelops her in a tight hug before wrapping his arm around her and leading her into the restaurant. Meredith looks up at Derek, her eyes full of happiness.

Meredith: Derek?

Derek looks down at her and she sees extreme happiness in his eyes as well. They smile widely at each other.

Meredith: I love you too.
