Alot of things had happened in the last four weeks. Meredith saved the life of a woman from certain death. She and Derek had overcome most of their problems. They had grown closer as a family.

It was the early hours of Monday morning and both Derek and Meredith were due in for work at 6am. The two had spent the night together in complete harmony. They treated themselves to an early night, once putting Abbey to bed they locked themselves in their bedroom and got lost in a world of their own. Derek lingered himself above Meredith's sweaty body, kissing and licking her chest. She felt stuck, safe, and unable to move from the stable situation she found herself in. She loved this moment afterwards, the moment when she came back down to earth, she felt so secure in his arms.

"What time is it?" Derek said breathlessly raising his head from Meredith's neck

"... Erm..." Meredith panted as she shifted underneath Derek "... Almost 4"

"Mmm..." Derek moaned as he reached down take Meredith's lips with his own

"That was..." Meredith spoke between kisses "...Derek?" Meredith whispered into his ear

"Mmm..." he replied as he continued to kiss her collar bone

"I love you" She said

Derek lifted his head from her chest and stared into her eyes intensely, before breaking into a smile

"I love you too" he grinned before leaning back down to kiss her

"Mmm..." she moaned into his mouth as he begun to pleasure her.

Derek placed one of his hands on her thigh and gripped onto her hand with the other as he guided himself inside her once more.

"Oh..." Meredith cried as she felt him push inside her. She closed her eyes and her mouth fell open as the first waves of delight began to hit her again.

She'd had a busy morning at work, trauma after trauma and interns who don't know their asses from their esophagus. Meredith was sitting in the attending's lounge pecking at her lunch as she filled out some charts.

"Hey" a voice sounded entering the room

"Hey Lex" Meredith replied placing her fork down in her food

"You ok?" Lexie asked as she took a seat next to Meredith

"Yeah, just feeling a bit under the weather, I'm fine" Meredith replied with a smile "Ew..." she mouthed to herself as she pushed her plate across the table slightly

"So Mark and I going away this weekend" Lexie began

"Really?" Meredith replied as she placed her pen to the paper

"Yeah, it's our two year anniversary on Friday? Remember?" She continued "Are you gonna finish that?" Lexie asked as she pointed at Meredith barely eaten lunch

"What...?" Meredith said as she snapped out of her gaze

"You're lunch?" Lexie replied motioning to Meredith lunch once more

"... Oh, sorry it's all yours" Meredith smiled weakly "... I'm gonna go, there's a thing I have to... do" Meredith said as she stood up gathering her paper's before walking towards the door

"Take it easy" Lexie shouted before Meredith closed the door behind her.

The time was around 6:30pm and Meredith still had hours left on her shift. Her stomach had taken a turn and she had been feeling nauseous 70% of the day. She decided to call it quits and went to see the chief to get permission to leave early.

"Hey have you seen Meredith?" Derek said as he approached Lexie who was suturing up a patient in the clinic

"Erm yeah, a few hours ago. She wasn't feeling well" Lexie said as she continued to suture

"Do you know where she is now?" Derek asked

"Sorry no" Lexie said as she placed the needle down on the table to look up at Derek

"Ok well if you see her tell her I'm looking for her?" Derek asked with a smile

"Sure" Lexie replied as she began to wrap a large band aid around her patients arm

Once Derek left the clinic he headed towards the chief's office. As he walked over the bridge, 200 feet in the air above the main lobby when he saw Meredith exit the chief's office

"Hey you ok?" He asked placing his hand on her arm

"I'm just under the weather, the chief said I can go home early" she smiled as she rested her head on his chest before wrapping her arms around his waist like a little child

"Hey, you'll be ok" Derek assured her pulling away and moving a piece of hair from her eye "You want me to pick Abbey up?"

"No she's round Izzie's. I'm just going to head home" Meredith replied

"Ok see you later" Derek smiled as he pecked her on the lips

"Yeah" Meredith replied before walking across the bridge.

Later one that evening Derek decided to make a quick trip the Joe's bar. Abbey was with Izzie and Meredith probably at home in bed, so a few drink wouldn't hurt.

"Double scotch, single malt?" Joe asked as Derek took a seat at the bar

"You got it Joe" Derek laughed as he pulled his phone from his pocket to see if he had any messages

"Another vodka and tonic please Joe" a familiar voice sounded beside him.

"Hey" Derek said with a smile

"Hi" Dr Patterson replied

"You come here?" Derek asked looking pretty surprised

"Yes, I do have a life outside that hospital you know" she laughed

"Here you go Derek" Joe said as he handed is drink over to him

"Thanks" Derek replied holding up his drink to him before taking a sip

"So where's your wife?" Dr Patterson asked as she took a seat next to Derek

"At home, she wasn't feeling well..." he replied but stopped when he noticed her gazing at him "Dr Patterson...?" Derek spoke

"Kim, my names Kim" She replied taking a sip of her drink

"Kim?" He smiled "So where's your daughter?" he asked casually as he took a sip of his drink

"Oh she at him with my mom" Kim replied placing her drink down on the counter

"Oh..." Derek said nodding his head

"Her dads not really around that much so my mom stepped to help when im working" She began

"Oh I'm sorry" Derek replied

"It's ok, we didn't really have the best relationship, she we just called it quits" Kim carried on before taking another sip of her drink "Yeah I should go I'm feeling a bit... you know" She said as she began to stand up

"No... Stay, it's fine" Derek said as he held onto her drink

"Are you sure?" Kim asked placing her drink back onto the bar

"Yes its fine, stay, sit" He smiled.

"Meredith's gonna be so pissed she missed this" Cristina said. She, George and Alex were sitting at a table at the other end of the room, and Derek was in clear view of them all.

"What is he doing flirting with that intern" Alex asked

"He's not flirting" George cut in

"He so is, just look at them laughing and joking" Alex replied

"He's not, Derek wouldn't do that not too Mer, he's just talking to her" George replied

"Ok then George prove it!" Cristina shot in

"What?" George asked in confusion as he played with the straw in his drink

"Go over there and ease drop" Cristina ordered

"Are you kidding me?" George protested "... No"

"Do it O'Malley" Alex said raising his voice as he nudged George of his stool

"Ok, ok fine, I'm going" George stated before walking over to the bar.

He stood inches away from Derek and Kim ease dropping as much as he could

"Dr O'Malley" Kim cheered when she saw him take a seat behind Derek

"George" Derek said as he turned around to find George sitting behind him.

"Hi, I was just ordering drinks" he pointed out nervously

"Right" Derek nodded

"Ok well thanks for the drink Dr Shepherd, I guess I better get going, tell your wife I said hi" She said with a smile before heading towards the door

George took this as the right time to sneak away from Derek. He slid off his stool and begun to head back to his table when he heard his name being called, he turned around a noticed Derek staring at him with a slight frown on his face.

"Dr Shepherd?" George said as he walked back over to Derek

"I know what you are thinking and what you and your friends thought you saw but It wasn't that. I have no interest in Ki... Dr Patterson. And if you think I'm capable of doing something like that to Meredith then you can think again. So you can go and tell your little friends that" Derek said, suddenly his pager went off "Goodnight Dr O'Malley" Derek finished before picking up his coat and heading back to the hospital.

"He was just talking to her" George said as sat back down at the table "Who's she talking to?" George said pointing to Cristina

"Meredith" Alex mumbled as he shoved bar nuts into his mouth

"WHAT!" George shouted "Cristina!" He shouted again

"Ok Mer I gotta go" She said before hanging up the phone

"You did not just tell her?" George said almost looking as if he was going to cry

"Ha-ha. No I didn't I called to let her know the chief wants us all in early tomorrow jeez O'Malley relax" Cristina laughing

Suddenly everyone's pager began to sound around the table

"911" Cristina said as she looked at her pager, she looked up and noticed a few more pagers sounding throughout the bar

"Must be an accident" George said as he held up his own pager

"Come let's go" George said before standing up grabbing his coat

For some reason I feel as if this fic loosing life a little, do you think it is?

But I have an excuse today! I'm feeling really nauseous, so I decided to camp out in bed and write this.... Sorry if it's dull.

I've thought of a really good idea for this story, he-he it's really sad. =(

But it's good. And it involves poor Mer Derek to, but it has a more saddening effect on her. I can't wait to write about it. It's going to be fun.

So I'm sitting in the dark, in my bed and its oooh.... **Look's onto the floor for alarm clock, yes it lives on the floor lol** ....12:38am and there's a freaking fly, flying around my laptop screen Grrr.... LOL!
