The second part is long to, they come to ten pages all together. Enjoy!
Meredith looks around his living room until her eyes settled on the picture of the two of them, the same photo that he had given her on that last day, she knew that she had kept that photo all this time, but she was surprised that he did, she put the frame back to where it was, just has the phone rang, which made her jump.
"Meredith, can you answer that for me, please?" Derek shouts from the kitchen.
"Sure" she shouts back. "Hello"
"Hi, who is this?" she hears a young girl on the phone.
"I'm Meredith, a friend of Derek's"
"Meredith...oh god, you're Meredith Grey are you?" Mer is a little surprised that someone would know who she was.
"Yeah"
"Dad, never said that you two were back in contact"
"Dad? Oh god...your Derek's daughter"
"yeah, i'm Ellen, Meredith. Dad has always spoken about you, I feel like I have known you for years and he said that he hoped one day i would meet you" Ellen rambled out.
"Just one question you dad said that your name was Meredith"
"It is but I have always liked to be called Ellen or Elle"
"Okay. Do you want to speak him?"
"Yeah please, Nice talking to you Meredith"
"You too, I'll pass you over to your dad" Meredith passes the phone to Derek, before walking into the kitchen, she notices the glasses of wine that Derek had poured out for them, she started sipping on her wine.
Meredith sat down at the breakfast bar, after talking to her namesake, she couldn't help but think about Liam, knowing that he would be the same age, only a couple of months younger, it brought tears to her eyes, Meredith couldn't stop herself from crying, she felt Derek's arms going around her, Derek turned her to face him, has Meredith buried her face in his chest, and cried, Derek smoothed down her hair, planted little kisses on the top of her head, letting her cry it out. He hated seeing her upset, he just wished that he could take the pain away but knows that he can't. Meredith stoped crying, but doesn't move from the spot and Derek has no desire to make her, Derek never wants to let her go and Meredith just wants to stay in his arms, where she feels safe, the first time she has felt safe and completely happy in the past fifteen years.
"Derek" Meredith in a whisper that Derek had only just heard.
"Yeah?"
"I am so sorry, i didn't want to be like this tonight, but talking to your daughter, our son would have been the same age"
"They could have grown up together, that would have been nice, Mer"
"I am so sorry, for making you go to back to her, i should have told you that last day about me being pregnant, and do you know that last day my resolve for leaving you was breaking, i almost said i was staying with you"
"Why didn't you?" Derek says gently.
"I was scared, Derek. My feelings for you scared me, i never believed in love Derek, not until you came along"
"Meredith, i wish you had"
"So do i"
"I waited so long for you, Mer" Derek says cupping her chin, making her look at him. "I never got back with Carole, she wasn't you. No one is you"
"No one is you either; there has never been anyone else"
"Why don't we give this a go Meredith" Derek approached it gently with her.
"I don't know, Derek. So much has happened and it was such a long time ago"
"Mer, i loved you so much back then, and i am still in love with you, i have never stopped. I'm not saying marry me or move in with me, but please give us a chance, give a chance to become the couple that we could have been fifteen years ago" Derek pleads with her. "Please give us a chance?" Derek rubs his thumb over her cheek, Meredith looks at him, and knows that she wants this as much as he does, maybe it time to stop being scared and embraces, Meredith reaches up and kisses him gently on the lips, not a kiss full of passion but one of love and promises.
"Okay" Meredith says slightly pulling away from him. Derek leans down, and captures her lips with his own, running his tongue over her lips, his tongue begging for entry, which Meredith gladly gave. As they explored each other mouth, their tongues wrestling for control, as the kiss deepens. Meredith runs her hands up, and down his back, feeling his well defined muscles in his back, Derek pushes Meredith close to him, running his hands up and down her sides, over her stomach that once housed their baby, they both pull away slightly to come up for some air.
"I love you Mer, always have"
"I love you too" Meredith says smiling at him. Derek communication system go off, Derek smiles and kisses Meredith lightly on the lips before going to answer it. Meredith cell goes off at that moment, and seeing that it is her mother, she groans, just has Derek walks in with their pizza, Meredith rejects the call and turns her phone off, not wanting to deal with her mother right now.
"Who was that?" Derek asks.
"No-one important. Is that our pizza?"
"Yep"
"Good i am starved" Derek laughs lightly remember what Meredith appetite was like. They sat and eat their pizza in silence, just stealing little glances at each other, when thinking the other person wasn't looking until the catch each other at the same time.
"You keep looking at me, Derek"
"So do you, you keep looking at me"
"I can't help it, i can't believe that i am here with you"
"Neither can i , Mer" Derek looks away for just a second, trying to muster the strength to ask
her something, he looks back to find Meredith sat right next to him, leaning into him, with her head on his shoulder.
"I suppose i should get going home soon, it late" Meredith says, not wanting to leave.
"Do you want to go home?"
"No, i don't" Meredith admitted, not wanting to leave him, not when they had just sorted a few things out.
"Stay with me" Derek asked, watching her closely.
"I...no...don't..." Derek kisses her to stop her mini ramble.
"I am not asking you to sleep with me, well i am, but i promise i won't try anything on, i just want to hold you in my arms tonight, please" Meredith wants to just as much as Derek wanted her too, but she wasn't sure.
"I have nothing to sleep in" Meredith said
"You can borrow a shirt of mine" Derek said, the only thing he had left of her the smell went a long time ago.
"Okay" Meredith says yawning.
"Come on, let's go bed" Derek picks Meredith up in his arms, and carries her into the bedroom, and deposits her on the bed, before pulling out a t-shirt for her.
"Here you go, bathroom, just over there and i will clear up" Derek leans down, kisses her on the head, before leaving her to get changed.
When Derek gets back into the bedroom, he sees Meredith already in bed, curling up into the quilt. Derek grabs a pair of boxers and a t-shirt, quickly get changed in the bathroom, before joining her in bed. Derek notice Meredith is right on the otherside of the bed.
"I don't bite you know" Meredith giggles.
"I know"
"Then come here" Derek says gruffly, Meredith joins him in the middle of the bed, Derek wraps his arms around her pulling her close to him, Meredith lays her head on his heart, listening to his heartbeat.
"Derek" Meredith says gently.
"Yeah"
"I've missed this"
"Me too"
"Goodnight Derek"
"Goodnight Meredith" Meredith is the first to fall asleep, for the first time in a long time; she fell into a deep restful slumber.
