A shortish update. Enjoy!

Derek pulled up outside the restaurant, and took Meredith hand in his, before they climbed out the taxi.

"Meri, it has been five year since we have been married...why are you so nervous about seeing mom and the sisters again?"

"I know I shouldn't be, but I think everything with Jennifer has made me insecure, i love your mom and your sisters, but I can't help being nervous, and i think it is the hormones"

"Just remember how perfect you are for me Meredith and remember that, Jennifer was never a patch on you, and my mom loves you more than she ever did Jennifer...so let walk into this restaurant with our heads held high and tell our family about our baby, not that they won't be surprised" Derek said kissing his wife and giving her his jacket.

"Okay, i love you"

"I love you too" Meredith said leaning over a kissing her husband. Meredith took Derek hand as they entered the restaurant and before she knew she was being pulled into her sister's arms. Meredith had missed Kathleen, Amy and Olivia and even Nancy so much in the few months that she and Derek had been in Seattle.

"Mer, I missed you, wow look at you" Kathleen said, hugging her.

"Thank Kath"

"Mer, you are glowing" Amy said pulling her favourite sister in law in her arms.

"Thank you Ames" Meredith said after pulling away and finally pulling away.

"Hey Meredith" Nancy said politely, she was the only sister that Meredith wasn't that close too.

"Nancy" Meredith said with a smile.

"You look well Meredith, pregnancy really does suit you"

"Thank you" Meredith said, has Derek places his hand on the small of her back, and guided her over to the table, and pulled the chair out for her, before kissing her on top of the head, and sitting next to her, and took her hands in his.

"So, Kath how is the practice going?"

"It is good"

"The husbands decided to stay at home?" Derek asked them.

"We decided to take a break, and join mom, so they stayed home with the children" Kathleen replied to Derek's question. The rest of the dinner went well, Meredith have never realised how much she missed her sister in law, in that evening, and she couldn't remember why she was so nervous before. Carolyn decided to go back to the hotel with Nancy, while Kathleen, Amy and Olivia accompanied them to Joe's.

Once in Joe's, Meredith found herself being dragged on the dance floor by Amy and Olivia, Derek sat with Kathleen at the bar, watching Meredith with her sister in laws.

"She seems to be doing well Derek"

"She is Kath, in the last months, i have watched her, and she is one amazing surgeon, even more so than i ever though"

"yeah i remember you telling me all about her after your first surgery with her. You know she had the best teacher"

"Yeah maybe, but i can't help feeling that i have held her back by falling in love with her" Derek admitted to his sister.

"Derek, she is a happier person because of you, she loves you, and that what i want to see, my baby brother happy"

"Oh i am, Meredith makes me happy"

"Exactly and you make her happy, she was miserable without you in New York Derek, all she could ever talk about was seeing you again, she missed you so much, you would both with lost without each other" Kathleen told Derek, has Meredith walked over to her husband and wraps her arms around him.

"Hey, why?"

"I missed you" Meredith told him, whispering in his ear. "I love you"

"Mer?"

"I want you" Meredith said nibbling on his ear lobe.

"Kath..."

"Yeah go home before Meredith mounts you on the bar, and i will tell Amy and Olivia you both said bye, we are used to it"

"I'm sorry"

"Yeah...whatever...go and take you very pregnant wife home" Derek gave his sister a kiss goodbye before taking Meredith home, and making love to his wife.
