Timeless Chapter 21, a grey's anatomy fanfic

Chapter 21:

January 16, 2007- Seattle, Washington
(When I first saw you,
I saw love.
And the first time you touched me,
I felt love.
And after all this time,
you're still the one I love.)

Meredith woke up to the smell of coffee brewing. She reached for Derek and noticed he wasn't at her side anymore. She slowly got up realizing he had placed a blanket over in while she was sleeping. She looked around the trailer and didn't see him. The cool air of the afternoon blew through the trailer as Meredith wrapped the blanket around her body again. She got up and made her way to the front of trailer, looking for Derek. Out through the window, she saw the back of him sitting in a chair looking out over the water. She opened the trailer door and walked over to him, curling up in the chair next to him.

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

Derek smiled at her as she sat down and motioned for her to come over to him. She got up and sat down on his lap, curling up to his chest for warmth. She kissed his neck gently and he brushed her tangled hair between his fingers. He looked out over the water and thought about how his life. Right now, he couldn't find a single thing wrong with it.

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

"I love you," Meredith said to him, lifting her head off of his chest to look into his eyes.

"I love you too."

"I'm glad I'm back. Everything is going to be okay now. I have you again," Meredith said smiling.

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

"Now I've lived a fairytale," Meredith said laughing a little at her remark.

"Only, you don't have Prince Charming," Derek said, "You have Prince McDreamy." He wrapped his hand around the back of her head and brought her close to him for a kiss.

Ain't nothing better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

"I can't believe I missed this for six months. All of this, everything," Meredith said.

"I can't believe I didn't have you for six months."

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

A comfortable silence settled between them. The type of silence that despite all the words you could be saying, none of them left your mouth because you didn't want to be the one to ruin it. Meredith grasped his hand gently and entangled their fingers. As Derek's eyes seemed to have fallen on the water, she focused on their fingers, gently moving and grazing each other. Derek knew Meredith thought he wasn't watching her, but he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He loved every aspect of her, everything that made her Meredith.

Meredith still couldn't find the logic she just had behind her reason to leave. She had never felt so comfortable and content in the simple life before her. Living in a trailer with the man she loved despite his amazing salary. She couldn't find anything better than this even though every one else will think she's crazy, she doesn't care. She loves Derek and to her, that's all that matters.

Derek watched Meredith's hair flutter in the wind and her body gently shake in the cold. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, letting go of her fingers. He kissed her hair as she began to look over the water and see the beauty in it. He loved enjoying this with her. He loved watching the water in a silence so full of emotion it could explode, with her and only her. And without another care in the world.

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come by baby
