"Derek, where are we going." Meredith said pouting. They had already had lunch and they were now going to Dereks suprise.
"I told you it is going to be a suprise." He said smileing at her. She was so frustrated it was cute and amusing.
"I don't like suprises, Derek." She said pouting even more.
"You look so cute when you pout. And you have loved all of my suprises. Name one you did not like and I will tell you." He said smileing knowing that there wasn't one suprise she didn't like.
She thought for a minute with Derek chuckling next to her in the car. "I hate you."
He put on a clearly fake upset face on "You do not. You love me. You just hate that you love all of my suprises." He said smileing.
She cracked a smile "I guess." Derek put his hand out so she could take it. She placed her hand in his and he caressed it with his thumb.
"Trust me. You will love it." He said pulling in to the suprise.
She looked out the window and said with a confused face "My suprise is a doctors appointment?" She looked back at Derek who had a smile on her face waiting for her to understand. Her face melted when she said "You made us a doctors appointment." She said placing both of her hands on her stomach. He just nodded and got out of the car to open Meredith's for her.
She kissed him quickly. He wrapped a protective arm around her waist and led her towards the door. "Wait a sec." He said quickly. She turned around to look at him only to be greeted by the flash of a camara.
"Derek, you can't take pictures. I look like crap." She said placing her hands on her hips.
"I think you look radiant." He ran quickly up to her and gave her a quick kiss letting her know she ment it.
"Well why do you need to take pictures. Its only a doctors appointment."
Derek gasped and put an amazed look on his face. "This is the baby's first doctors appointment."He said as they walked through the doors to the doctors office. "And I am a proud papa." He said recieving a giggle out of Meredith. "Now you go sit down and I will sign us in." He kissed her on the cheek and she went to sit down. She looked around and there were many other mothers and their children in the waiting room.
She looked at one mother who was pregnat and had a little girl who looked about three. The little girl had done something wrong and her mother was now yelling at her. The girl started to cry and hit her mothers arm.
Meredith started wringing her hands and playing with her watch. Shit how am I going to do this. I can't handle this. She couldn't breathe. She needed air. She got up and started to run out of the doctors office.
She put her hands on her knees bending over when she got out side. She was breathing heavily from running and the fear. She suddenly felt a hand on her back which made her jump. She jumped away from the hand turning at the same time. Derek stood there with a concerened look on his face. He walked towards Meredith and embrased her in a hug.
Her breathing was geting more irregular as she started to cry. "I...I...can't...I can't...Derek I can't..."
"Ssssssssshhhhhhhh" Derek rubbed her back trying to calm her down. "Mer, what happened."
"Derek I can't do this...Der I just can't." Her breathing was starting to return to normal.
"Yes, Meredith, yes we can. Meredith we can do this together. We will do this." He only felt her head nod and he nodded back. "Now, can we go back in." He asked her pulling away so she could look him in the eyes.
"Yes... We can do this." She said trying to convince herself more than anything. "Just don't leave me again."
"I never will, Mer. I never will" He wispered as he kissed her head trying to reasure her at the same time.
