MerDer story

(Meredith Grey; will you marry me?)

Derek stood on his knees waiting for an answer from Meredith.

Meredith was speechless. Derek had just asked to marry her, he had and...Oh my god, she thought. She loved him so much, and wanted him. Meredith got tears in her eyes. Derek looked worried. Was she going to say no?

Her tears fell down her cheek, and a smile planted on her mouth.

"Derek, I, I…Yes Derek yes I want to marry you…" Before she got a chance to say something more, Derek putted the gorgeous ring at her finger and stood up. Derek smiled back before he lifted her up and swung her. She laughed, he laughed.

"I love you so much Meredith." Meredith smiled as more tears welted down her cheek. It was happy tears, she was happy very happy. "Derek Shepherd," she said leaning against him.

"I love you too. So much…" Derek interrupted her, and his lips met hers. Meredith jumped inside. She had never felt like this before. Kissing Derek had never been more wonderful, more fantastic. Now she knew it. Meredith wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Derek, I love you so much, and you have no idea how I have wanted to tell you and…" Derek pushed her away, but just as much as he could see her eyes.

"I know Mer; I have seen it in your eyes all the time. And I love you too." Derek hogged her, and held her tight.

"Thank you so much for believing me Derek. I knew you would understand, and this I just…and the beautiful ring and…"

Derek felt his tears was about to come too. "A beautiful ring for a beautiful girl," He said as he kissed her again. She had said yes, and now she said she loved him. Derek's heart jumped.

"Oh and there's one more thing," he said a little secretive.

"What?" Meredith said looking at him with big eyes. Derek winked at the waiter, and suddenly three men came towards them. One of them had a bottle of champagne, one of them had a big cake, and the last one had a present in his had.

"Derek what's going on?" Meredith whispered. Derek leaned to her, and gave her a quick kiss.

"You though I had forgot?" he said with a big grin. "Forgot? Forgot what?" Meredith said still looking very confuse.

Suddenly Derek together with the three men started singing the birthday song. Meredith felt tears streaming down her cheek as she watched them. No one had ever song the birthday song to her. When she was a little kid, Tyler had never been at her birthdays and her mother was never home. As they had sung finish, Derek gave her the present.

"Happy birthday Meredith," he said reaching her the present. "Derek, this is..." She hadn't words. All this he had done to her, he had even remembered her birthday that she had almost forgot her selves. "Open it," he said smiling.

Meredith looked from him and down at the red present. As she tears of the paper, she almost lost her breath. "Derek, oh my…"

Derek took her arm. "What do you think?" He said as he saw the expression of her face.

It was a picture of the most gorgeous wedding dress Meredith had ever seen, and on the top of it, it was a beautiful jewel.

"I don't have words Derek," she said as more tears ran down her cheek.

Derek smiled. "But don't misunderstand. It doesn't mean that we need to get married now or anything," he said a little scared that Meredith would freak out.

She smiled. "I don't have words to you Dr Shepherd, but I have this," she said as she leaned to him, and their lips met.

"This kiss worth more than every word in the world Meredith," And Derek meant it too. He had never got a kiss like that before. A kiss had never been so perfect. This kiss told him what she felt for him.

"So, what do you say? Cake and champagne?" Derek took her big grin as a yes, and he went to get the champagne.

For your birthday and our first day as engaged." Derek took the glasses with champagne and gave one to Meredith. After they had drunk the champagne, Derek got some cake to them. He putted some cake at his fork and putted it in Meredith's mouth. "You know what?" Meredith said looking at the cake, and then at Derek.

"I think my love list is a little changed."

"Yeh?" Derek said taking a bit of the cake.

"Yes, I have switched the second and the first place. So that means you're on the first and your delicious lasagna is on second." Derek had to laugh. "Oh that was good, but I think my lasagna is pretty good to have in case anyway."

Meredith laughed too. "Yes, probably, but I think I found out that you were the better kisser," Meredith said taking a bit of the cake too.

When the waiter came back, the clock was almost 12.00am, and he told them that they closed now. Meredith and Derek walked happily out of the elevator door in the first floor.

Meredith carried her jewel around her neck and with the ring safely on her finger.

"So," Derek said when they were outside.

"This has been an incredibly night; Meredith said smiling and looking up at the top of the Needle. Derek lent toward her, to kiss her but Meredith pushed him away.

"If you want a kiss, you have to catch me first," she said and started running up into the park. Derek watched her, and soon after he ran after her. He could hear that she was laughing.

This was his Meredith. This was the woman and his love of his life. When he finally catches her, he swung her up in his arms.

"Derek," she said laughing more. Derek kissed her. It was long, soft gently, and Meredith could feel that she was happy. Happy like ever before. She had found the right guy for her. She had found him a long time ago, but first now she realized it.

This kiss told her, this kiss told him. They were meant for each other!
