A/N: WOW, guys, how about that promo?! I LOVED IT!!!! ESPECIALLY the mer/der/lexie part…I thought Mer should have said, "Girl in the bar?! NO! IM THE ONE AND ONLY GIRL IN THE BAR! Oh and I'm the love of his life, are you the love of his life?! I don't think so bitch!" Haha, but I don't know about lexie…I guess I'll like her if she stays away from Derek, but she seems a little too bubbly, like the way she runs up to Mer in trauma and goes "HEY I'M YOUR SISTER!!!" Like seriously?! But I'll give her a chance…even though I think the actress is annoying. And I LOVED Derek's "oh shit!" face when Meredith goes I'm the girl in the bar! Okay I'm done my rant…but that promo inspired me to make another chapter in this story. (the promo also inspired me to make another fic but I already have like 10 so I think I'll wait…hehe)

Carol flipped through an Air Magazine as she sat in first class in her flight. She checked her watch, Derek would just be landing. She sighed then rolled her seat back and feel asleep. LA was a long flight away…

Derek stroked Meredith's hair as they sat on her couch. Nancy came running down.

"DEREK?! HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE WILL MOM MISSING!"

"Come down Nance, she will turn up. She isn't a toddler!"

Nancy inhaled then exhaled. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Where are the others?"

Nancy plopped down on a chair, and crossed her legs. "They left, I guess since I'm the oldest I'm the one responsible for finding mom."

Derek chuckled then kissed the top of Meredith's head.

Nancy rolled her eyes. "So why are you two so lovey-dovey?"

Meredith snuggled closer to Derek's chest. "Carol isn't here."

Nancy smiled then stood up. "Okay, well I'll be upstairs."

After Nancy disappeared, Meredith twirled her ring around her thin finger. "Okay, so when do you think we should get married?"

Derek sighed. "I think we should elope."

Meredith burst out laughing. "Elope?!"

"I'm serious. Just me, you, your friends, my friends…no mom, and no hassle."

Meredith tilted her head to the side, contemplating this. "Well I guess that could be an option…"

Derek smiled then kissed Meredith's neck. "I don't care how we get married…just that we get married!"

"Mmhmm…I agree."

Derek smiled then wrapped his arms around her stomach. "When is the baby due?"

"8 months."

"So I would like to get married before 8 months!"

"But I don't want to have a baby bump for my wedding!"

Derek laughed. "Okay, well then we better get married soon!"

Suddenly, Izzie barged in with a huge cake wrapped in a box in her hands. "Hey guys…I baked the cake. I want you to try it. If you don't like it…I could make another!"

Meredith quickly untangled herself from Derek's grip and ran up to Izzie. "Oh my gosh…IZ! This cake looks DELICIOUS!"

Izzie shrugged. "I do what I can…"

Meredith grinned then grabbed the cake and ran into the kitchen. Derek followed her. She dipped her finger into the icing and stuck it in her mouth. "Hmmm, I really love the icing."

Derek cut himself a slice and tried some. "Wow, Izzie, this is really good!"

Meredith grabbed Derek's fork and stuffed some in her mouth. "THIS IS THE CAKE!"

Izzie gleamed with pride. "YES! I knew you would love it! Okay, you guys can have that one…and I'll go make another one! Wait, when is the wedding?!"

Meredith looked at Derek as she licked her fingers. "We're trying to figure that out."

Derek nodded. "I want to elope."

Izzie laughed. "I wouldn't do that…you should have it next month!"

Meredith gasped. "ONE MONTH TO PLAN A WEDDING?! ARE YOU CRAZY!?"

"Have a small one! I'm a great party planner! I could create the best wedding for you in a month!"

Derek looked at Meredith. "I think we can trust Izzie…"

Meredith hesitated. "Are you sure?"

"POSITIVE!"

She sighed then waved her hand. "Fine, fine…you're our party planner and we'll have the wedding in a month."

Izzie started jumping up and down. "YES! OH MY GOD I HAVE TO START WORKING ON IT! I'LL CALL YOU LATER! BYE!"

After Izzie left, Meredith couldn't help but crack up. "I love her!"

Derek smiled then wrapped his arms around Meredith. "I love you!"

Meredith smiled then kissed him. "You better!"

Carol arrived at the airport. She checked herself in the bathroom mirror and smoothed out her hair. She then whipped out her cell phone and dialed Derek's number. "UGH! VOICE MAIL…DAMN!" She slammed her phone shut then dialed Addison's number.

"Hello?"

Carol jumped in surprise. Why was a guy answering Addison's phone? "Hi…who is this?"

"Uh, sorry, my name is Pete…are you looking for Addison?"

"Yes, I am actually…"

"Okay hold on…ADDISON PHONE!"

Addison grabbed the phone from Pete. "Hello?"

Carol smiled. "ADDIE!"

"Oh my God, CAROL!? Is that you?!"

"Yes it is…I am actually in LA!"

Addison raised an eye brow. "You are? Really?! Why?"

"Well it's a long story. Have you seen Derek?

"Uhm, no…why is he in LA too?"

"Yes and I really need to find him!"

"Sorry Carol, I haven't seen him."

"Oh it's okay, I'll find him. I'll call you later, kiss kiss!"

Before Addison had the chance to respond Carol snapped her phone shut and sighed. "Where the hell could you be, Derek?!"
