Thanks for the reveiws.

I think I should mention that I started writing this fic back in June when S3 had just finished and everybody hated Lexie (I still do lol).


Derek decided to order a scotch before heading home. He'd had a long and stressful day and had been looking forward to going home with Meredith.

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Lexie saunter up to the bar. He heard her order a tequila and groaned when she moved up next to him.

"Anything I can help you with Dr. Grey?"

"You could start by calling me Lexie………"


"What the hell was all that about?" Christina was running to try and catch up with Meredith.

"Nothing" Meredith was fumbling about in her purse as she answered. "Crap, I left my keys on the bar, I'll be right back."


"……….and I was thinking more of if there was anything I could do for you?"

Derek nearly choked on his scotch. She was coming onto him again?!

"No, I'm fine. Why don't you go back to your friends?"

Lexie stayed where she was. "I don't want to leave you all on your own"

"He's not all on his own!" Meredith marched up to the bar and grabbed her keys before wrapping her arms around Derek and kissing him. She turned to face Lexie "He has me, so you really should stop wasting your time"

Lexie turned red "I don't know what you're talking about"

"Yes you do" Meredith was trying not to shout "I heard you in the bathroom" she put on a squeaky voice and mimicked Lexie "Give me until the end of the month and McDreamy will be mine" her voice returned to normal "Isn't that what you said? Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but Derek and I are fine!" She turned back to Derek "Ready to go?" He nodded as he finished his scotch and put his arm around Meredith as they left the bar.

Once outside Meredith stopped and turned to Derek. "I'm so sorry about just walking out before, it's just I heard her in the bathroom and you should've heard what she was saying. I guess it just freaked me out, and I had a headache, and I've been on water all night, and I'm tired and pregnant and hormonal and emotional, and -"

Derek put a finger on her lips to shut her up. "Its fine and I know this is hard for you, all those different feelings all at once. Plus, the way you claimed me back in there, the way you were defending your territory, you were hot!" He kissed her "it turned me on?" Meredith laughed kissing him back "Oh did it now?" She put her hands round the back of his head, running her fingers through his hair "how much did it turn you on?"

Derek brought his kisses from her lips down to her neck making Meredith sigh "lots and lots."

"Maybe we should carry this on at home"

"mmmmmm" Derek came back up to kiss her ear "maybe we should"

They heard a cough behind them and looked round. Christina stood looking at them "should I call a cab and go home then?"


Meredith wiped her mouth and brushed her teeth, she'd just spent 20 minutes sat in front of front the toilet. She looked in the mirror, she didn't look good and she still felt queasy. She unlocked the bathroom door to find Izzie waiting with a cup of coffee. She tried to give it to Meredith. "Too much tequila last night?"

Meredith waved away the coffee "If only you knew" At least I'm not lying she thought to herself.

She returned to her room noticing a note on the bed side table that hadn't seen when she'd gotten up earlier because she'd been running straight to the bathroom. She picked up the note to read it.

Good morning, I didn't want to wake you earlier when I was leaving.

I hope you weren't feeling too bad when you got up.

See you at work, Love you, Derek

P.S. I really enjoyed last night, looking forward to a repeat performance very soon xxx

Meredith smiled remembering last night……………

……………..Meredith had driven and after dropping Christina off at her apartment Derek had barely been able to keep his hands off Meredith. He started off with his hand on her knee, which soon moved to her thigh. They stopped at a red light and he took this opportunity to kiss her quickly. When the light changed to green he settled for kissing her neck and nibbling her ear still running his hand up and down her thigh.

Meredith couldn't wait to get home, the nibbling on her ear and neck was driving her crazy, each time Derek moved his hand up he got higher and higher up her thigh.

It wasn't soon enough when they arrived home and Meredith hadn't even unlocked the front door when she felt Derek behind her, his hands making his way up her top. They got inside and kissed their way upstairs, fingers fumbling with each others clothing. They were frantic, full of wanting and lust as they entered the bedroom.

"Do you realise" Derek was breathless as he pulled Meredith's top off "it's been over 5 weeks since we did this?"

Meredith pulled Derek's top off and threw it to floor "Is that a fact?" She started unbuttoning his pants "I guess you're pretty horny then huh?" she slowed down, deliberately teasing him.

He groaned as he pushed her onto the bed and finished taking his pants off. Meredith lay on the bed in her jeans and bra. Derek kneeled over her in his boxers leaning forward kissing her, he let his hands wander over her breasts feeling her raise herself upwards to meet his hands. He moved downwards so he was kissing her neck and his hands were unbuttoning her jeans. He pulled them off her and then took her bra off, kissing her now bare breasts.

Meredith had been well aware that it had been over 5 weeks since their last time and was desperate to have Derek inside of her. She pulled his boxers down and looked him in the eyes "Now!" her voice was filled with longing "I need you inside of me now!"…………………………….


………………Derek exited the elevator remembering last night. After reaching their climax together quickly the first time they'd made love another time, much slower than the first, before drifting off to sleep wrapped around each other.

If it was always that good after waiting 5 weeks then he was prepared to wait another 5 weeks before doing it again.

He reached the coffee cart and saw Mark, seeing Derek; Mark ordered two coffees and passed one over to him.

"What do you think of Yang?" Mark asked.

Derek took the coffee from him. "Christina?" he asked "I think she's competitive, fiercely so, well on her ways to becoming a great surgeon. One day she'll rival the likes of Burke. Why?"

"I think she's hot" Mark answered simply.

Derek laughed "I'd steer clear of her for a while if I were you. I think that after what Burke did to her she's off men for a while."

"I only said she was hot, I didn't say I planning to do anything" Derek just looked at Mark "Ok fine, I'm not planning on doing anything yet"

They were still laughing as they turned the corner and bumped straight into Meredith and Christina

"What are you laughing at?" Meredith asked

"Nothing" Derek watched Mark turn red "I'll tell you later" He said giving Meredith a kiss.

"You two are sickening" Christina said walking away.

"I'm gonna go too" Mark walked off in the opposite direction.

Meredith raised an eyebrow at Derek. "So?"

Derek smiled "My friend thinks your friend is hot!"

"So, how've you been today" Derek's face was full of concern and Meredith loved him for it.

She smiled grimly "It was awful this morning. I'd only just woken up and after 20 minutes of throwing up I just wanted to crawl back into bed. Then Izzie cornered me as I left the bathroom"

Derek's eyes widened "Does she know?"

"No" Meredith laughed "she assumed I had a hangover, which obviously I didn't because I just drank water last night, which by the way made Joe very suspicious." They both laughed until Meredith stopped, her face turning pale.

"Are you ok?" Derek put a hand to her cheek.

"mmm, a little nauseous but it'll pass"

Derek kissed her "Go find an on call room and lie down for a while, I'll page you if anything comes up." He kissed her again before she turned leave.

From the balcony of the second floor of the hospital Lexie could see Derek and Meredith talking and sighed. She wanted to get Derek alone, she couldn't say what she wanted to while Meredith was there.

She hated the fact that he was so obviously in love with Meredith. She hated that despite obviously loving Meredith he'd shown her enough attention at the bar to make her want him. She hated that Meredith actually had him. She hated that Meredith had been one of the last people with her mom before she'd died. She hated that she'd died and that it had been here. She hated that it'd been too late to switch to another hospital without having to wait for a year. She hated that her dad had become so dependant on drinking and that she didn't know how to help him. Most of all she hated Meredith.

As she carried on watching she saw Derek put his hand to Meredith's face and kiss her. Angrily Lexie stormed away. She'd have to talk to him later when Meredith wasn't around.
