Chapter 14

Meredith woke up early, but blissfully nausea free for the first time in a long time. She laughed to herself slightly at that. Now that she knew why it was there, it had disappeared. She couldn't believe she'd gone so long without realizing she was pregnant. With twins no less. She really was a world class avoider when she wanted to be. More than that though, she couldn't believe all of the trouble Derek went through to keep her from figuring it out. She smiled and looked over at him as he continued to sleep. He really was very sweet. Brainless at times, but sweet nonetheless. She'd never tell anyone, but she kind of hoped their children inherited his cheerful disposition. And his hair too.

She watched him as he started to stir from his sleep. He opened his eyes and gave her a curious look. "Are you watching me sleep?" he asked with a smirk. Usually it was the other way around.

"Oh, you know, I was just thinking about how pretty you are," she laughed remembering the conversation they'd had a couple months ago. "And also how pretty our children will be."

He smiled as he caught on to the memory for himself, "Children?" he asked, "Like multiple?"

She laughed out loud, having forgotten that part of the conversation. "Yup," she said and she leaned over and kissed him.

"Oh good," Derek laughed, "Because, you know, the more the merrier." He was in a particularly playful mood that morning. "Too bad we can't get like two or three more in there," he said with delight as he rubbed his hand along her abdomen.

She laughed and shoved his hand away from her. "Oh I don't think so," she shuddered when she thought about it. "Two is definitely the maximum occupancy in there." She put her own hand on her stomach and couldn't help the loving smile that tugged at her lips. She was still amazed that their babies were in there. She was amazed that they had babies at all, for that matter. She lay back down against Derek's chest and sighed, "I can't believe I went so long without even knowing they were in there."

Derek smiled lovingly back at her for a moment before a spark of mirth entered his eyes, "I can't believe you were going to take your shirt off for Mark Sloan!" He laughed and jumped back a bit as she tried to take a swing at him.

"You are not allowed to make fun of me!" she said with mock accusation. "Besides, I'm definitely pleading temporary insanity on that one," she kept going as he gave her an amused and skeptical look, "Yeah," she nodded. "Insanity caused by all my stupid pregnant-girl hormones that are twice as bad since you managed to knock me up with twins!"

Derek couldn't help but laugh out loud at that. "That was pretty impressive of me, wasn't it?" he said with a cocky smile.

"Humph," Meredith said as she playfully rolled her eyes, "Like you had anything to do with it." She smiled slightly at him.

"Oh but I did," Derek said with a laugh, "It's a special technique," he pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "Want me to show you?"

She meant to joke back or at least put up a cursory resistance, but suddenly his body pressed against hers and his breath on her neck were sending waves of electricity all the way through her body. She could only sigh and nod as she pulled him closer and kissed him thoroughly. Derek just laughed as he rolled her onto her back, "Now don't worry this won't get you pregnant with another set of twins or anything. I can show you the technique today but I'll have to wait to prove its effectiveness at a later time"

"Derek?" Meredith said with exasperation.

"Shut up and kiss you?" he asked knowingly.

"Yeah," and he did.

It was a couple hours later before they began to contemplate getting out of bed to start their day. Meredith lay lazily with her head resting on Derek's shoulder. "Do we have anything to do today?" she asked as she traced her hand along his chest.

"Well there actually is one thing," Derek said mysteriously.

Meredith lifted her head to look at him quizzically. "What's that?" she asked as she tried to think of something they had to do. It was the most blissfully quiet day they'd had in a long time.

"Well I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you," he said with a smile. She just looked at him like he was out of his mind so he added, "It's a surprise Mere," and ran his hand through her hair.

"A surprise?" she deadpanned back to him. She was not a fan of surprises.

"Come on don't give me that look. This is gonna be good. You'll see," he said, trying to get her to share in his enthusiasm. He had to settle for just getting her to agree to get out of bed.

It took them a couple hours to get out of the house and it was almost noon when they were finally driving towards their destination. "Come on Derek it's not like I won't figure it out in like 5 minutes anyway. Why don't you just tell me where we are going?" Meredith asked in exasperation.

"Just sit back and wait," Derek smiled at her while keeping his eyes mostly on the road.

They drove a short distance further when Meredith realized there was only one place they could be heading from there. "The ferry dock?" She asked to let him know that she had figured it out, "What, are we going to look at the house again? Is there a new development?" She asked hoping to get some information out of her enigmatic husband.

Derek just smiled and shook his head as he pulled the car into a spot away from most of the rest of the cars. It was away from the boarding area and close to some trees. Meredith now had a good idea of where they were heading but still had no idea why. Derek walked around the car and grabbed her hand as they strolled down a small path between he trees. Meredith remembered the first time they'd been there. It was a long time ago, when they'd first moved to Seattle and were just starting to date. She'd brought him there, to watch the ferryboats. They passed by this place a lot and had been back a few times, but not often since that day all those years ago. It was still a very special place to both of them.

They came to a small clearing by the water's edge and watched as one of the ferries lumbered past. When she was unable to contain herself any longer Meredith turned to her husband a smiled sweetly. "But what are we doing here Derek?" she asked.

"There was a time," Derek began slowly, "That I didn't know where I belonged. I'd just moved here from New York and I was wondering if I'd made a mistake. I didn't have any friends here, unless you count a beautiful intern who wanted nothing to do with me," he gave her a small smile. "But then one day out of the blue I saw these ferryboats and I knew this had to be the place for me," his smile got even brighter. "It was like magic. Suddenly I found these ferryboats and a bunch of land that I didn't know what to do with and I found myself thinking that maybe I could make a home here. Maybe I could make a life here. And then one day you brought me to this spot and, for the first time, I thought maybe I could even make a family here." He pulled Meredith closer to him and looked into her eyes. "I won't pretend that was the moment I fell in love with you because I honestly think I've loved you since the beginning of time. But that was the first time I could really see our future together." He steeled himself for the part of his speech and held her back at arm's length to look into her eyes. "That's why I brought you here today. Because we're finally starting our family and what I think we need is a redo."

Meredith looked back at him with a bewildered expression, "A redo?" she asked.

"Yeah," she gave her a dreamy smile, "See, I don't think I really handled the news of your pregnancy that well so I'd like another chance."

"Another chance?" she looked at him incredulously.

"Yeah," he smiled, "Tell me you're pregnant."

"Huh?" she asked, but when he just kept watching her expectantly she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm pregnant?"

Derek shook his head and laughed at her, "Come on, like you mean it. This is good news!"

"I'm pregnant," she tried again, but he just kept looking at her so she guessed it must not have been good enough, "I'm pregnant," she said again, with a smile. "Derek, were having babies," she could feel the excitement bubbling up in her a bit as she spoke, "Twins Derek. We're going to be parents." She smiled at him with a giddiness she would not have been capable of a few months ago.

Derek smiled back at her and swept her into his arms, "Meredith, that's so amazing," he said before he kissed her. He held her tight in his arms as he practically danced with her. "You're going to be such an amazing mother and our kids are going to be so wonderful and so loved," he just held her for a moment.

Meredith couldn't help but get sucked into his excitement. "They are going to be amazing, aren't they," she said with a smile, "Our pretty little babies." They just stood there together, watching the ferryboats float past and getting lost in their own thoughts of the future. They were so happy there together and, at least for the moment, blissfully worry free.
