Enjoy!

It was two am, when Meredith made it back to the hotel; she had a quick shower, and joined Derek in bed.

"Did you have a good night Mer?" Der asked her, rolling over to look at her.

"Hey, didn't think you were awake. Yeah, it was a great night, would have been better if you were there though" Mer said, has Derek pulled her closer to him.

"You know I can't sleep without you Mer, there was no one to look after Sophie and they are your friends" Derek said before kissing her, he rolled on top of her, as the kiss intensified, Meredith moaned as Derek ran his hands down over her body, sending chills down her spine.

"Oh…Der" she moaned, Derek felt himself responding to her moans, Mer arched her back giving him better access to her neck, Derek sucked and nipped at her neck, giving Mer goose pimples, Derek starts flicking her clit with his fingers before putting two fingers inside of her causing Mer to have her first orgasm, Derek lets her ride it out, when Mer come down from her peak, she smiles at him.

"Don't stop Derek" Mer says, Derek starts kissing her again, and has he enters her, allowing his cock to be completely submerged in her, Derek starts to pumping in and out, quickly they both come to their orgasm, both moaning into each other's mouth, both trying to stop the other from shouting out, they both climax together. They both lay their breathlessly with Derek still inside of her, he pulls out of her, and rolls off her. They lay side by side, in each other's arms as they drift off to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Meredith wakes up still in Derek arms, relishing their few moments alone until Sophie comes in. They lay there in silence, just breathing each other in. Derek gives Mer a good morning kiss.

"Morning breath Derek" Mer says.

"You can't talk, you taste of alcohol". They both enjoy those first few minutes when they just wake up, some time to themselves, just to hold each other, before Sophie realizes that they are awake.

"Mommy, mommy" they hear Sophie has she come running into their room, jumps up on the bed and laid in between her parents, giving her mother a big hug.

"Can we go to the zoo, please mommy?" Sophie asks her mother.

"We'll see Soph, okay?" Sophie nods, cuddling back into Meredith.

There was a knock at the door, Derek told Mer to stay in bed while he got the door. It was room service, bringing up the breakfast that Derek had ordered for them, he went to get Meredith and Sophie up for breakfast, they had a busy day that day. Derek had plans for them to go to Buckingham Palace, and to Westminster Abbey, and after Derek was taking Meredith and Sophie shopping on Oxford Street. Derek was trying to find some different for them to do, but it was difficult considering that Meredith and Sophie lived in London for four years.

After breakfast, they went to Westminster Abbey, and took the audio tour, giving them time to wander around the abbey, at their own pace. Meredith couldn't believe that she never thought about seeing this, when they lived in London. After finishing at the Abbey, Meredith and Derek decided to go straight to Buckingham palace and doing the tour, before going to lunch. Sophie was in awe when they got to the palace, they looked at the guard room, the state dining room, Queen Victoria's picture gallery as well as the throne room, Sophie was pleading with her mother, to sit on it, when Mer told her she couldn't, she sulked around her father, hoping that he would say she could. Derek had to explain to her that only the queen for allow to sit on it, that it was special. Unfortunately they missed the changing of the guard, so they decided to go and have some lunch, before going shopping. They made it back to the hotel for 5 o clock, and while Mer was having a shower, and Sophie was getting changed, before heading over to Lucy's for dinner.

They arrived at Lucy's flat at 7 o clock that evening. Lucy opened the door to them, she gave Mer a quick hug, and Sophie literally jumped into her arms. Derek was looking forward to seeing Lucy's flat; he wanted to see where his daughter lived for the first four years of her life. Lucy ushered Mer and Derek into the living room, while Sophie went to her old bedroom, which Lucy kept for her, to play with some of her toys that Lucy had gotten for her, over the years. Meredith and Derek followed Lucy into the kitchen, Meredith noticed that she hadn't changed it much; it was still the same it was four years before.

"As you can see Mer, I haven't done anything with the place, since you moved back to Seattle, I haven't had the time" Lucy said to her, when she saw Mer looking around.

"I can see that, Luce" Mer replied to her. Lucy gets Derek a glass of water, while her and Meredith has a glass of wine each.

"I hope spaghetti bolognaise is alright, for dinner" Lucy asked them both.

"That fine, Luce" Mer replies for the both of them, they make small talk until dinner is ready, Mer goes to get Sophie, leaving Derek in the kitchen with Lucy.

"Is everything set for the weekend, Derek" Lucy asks him.

"Yeah Paris is all booked we leave Friday afternoon, I still haven't told her yet. So don't say anything to her yet. Are you still able to have Sophie for the weekend?" Derek asked.

"Of course, I've been looking forward to having Sophie, I do miss her" Lucy tells him.

"She misses you too, you never know they may be over here for a year soon" Derek tells her.

"Mer said about the clinic offering her a year, has she decided what she is doing yet" Lucy asked, wandering where Derek stood on the subject.

"Not that she has told me" Derek asks, wandering if Mer has made her decision yet. Meredith walks in the kitchen with Sophie, while Lucy dishes up dinner. Once they had finished dinner, Mer helped Lucy in the kitchen and Sophie wanted to show daddy her bedroom.

"So Mer have you made a decision yet?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, I'm going to stay in Seattle, I can't leave Derek or Sophie for a year" Mer tells her, quietly. "I haven't told Derek yet, so please don't say anything yet"

"are you sure that what you want, it's a great opportunity, and Derek won't stop you bring Sophie with you." Lucy tells her.

"I know, but it does mean leaving Derek, and I can't do that, not again" Mer tells her.

"it not the same situation Meredith, you guys would still be together, he isn't going to let you go" Lucy says.

"I know that Lucy, but I am not willing to move somewhere without him, I can't live without him, and I can't ask him to move over here, he's got his job in Seattle, and I would not ask him to give up his job, he loves it" Meredith says.

"So you are willing to sacrifice your future" Lucy asks.

"It not sacrificing anything Lucy, I work in one of the best hospitals in the States" Meredith says firmly. Derek walks in over to Meredith and wraps his arms around her waist.

"Sophie's asking for you Mer" he tells her.

"Okay" Mer says walking out of the kitchen. When Derek is sure that she gone, he turns back to Lucy

"Do you want us to drop Sophie over to you tomorrow, or you going to pick her up from the hotel" Derek asks her.

"I'll pick her, what time is your flight? Lucy asks.

"It's at 3 o clock, so pick her up at about eleven thirty. I 'm not telling Mer about the trip until we get to the airport, so keep it quiet." Derek says quietly. Mer walks in carrying Sophie, who is half asleep in her mother's arms.

"Derek she tired we are going to have to go back to the hotel" Meredith says to him.

"Okay" he says taking Sophie out of her mother's arms. I'll go and get her in the car, while you say bye to Lucy" Mer nods and smiles at him, before he leaves the room. Lucy gives Mer a hug, before walking her out side to the car.
