D:walks up to her slowly. What's your son's name?
M:M..Miā¦Michael. She can't stop the tears from falling. She can't look up at him.
Derek walks over to her, places the picture back on her desk. He walks up to her, holds her face in his hand and raises her face to look at him. He knows. He looks at her, they are both crying. He wipes the tears from her face and looks into her eyes. With that, he leans in and kisses her. He kisses her with so much passion and full of love. She returns the kiss with the same intensity. When they pull apart, he holds her close to him. She is crying, clinging to him.
D:I'm sorry. I'm sorry Meredith. I didn't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have left. I would have come back to you. I'm so sorry. I never stopped loving you. Please believe that. Please believe me. I need you to believe me.
They didn't let go of each other. Meredith was still clinging to him, almost afraid that if she let go, he would be gone. He would disappear and she would never see him again.
D:I'm not ever leaving you again. I've found you, and I need you in my life.
M:I love you too.
Derek pulls her head up to his, they kiss again. Softly, gently, but with all the want and desire that they are both needing in their lives. Neither of them have moved on, they are still in love with each other, and it's easy to see. Derek picks her up and takes her over to the couch. They never stop kissing. Once they reach the couch, their kissing intensifies. Derek starts kissing her neck with so much desire. He can hear her breathing start to change. He knows that she wants him as much as he wants her. He stops and looks at her.
D:I love you Meredith Grey.
M:I love you to Derek. He leans in to kiss her again, but she stops him. I don't know if we should continue. I mean I want to, it's been 4 years, but I don't know if I can, not yet.
D:It's been 4 years? You mean, you haven't been with anyone since me?
M:Moving off of him, I couldn't. I tried, but I just couldn't. When you left, you took my heart. When Michael was born, the only one I could think about was you. Whenever I look at him, you're all I see. I've had the opportunity, especially with Martin and Ashley trying to set me up with all of the hockey players. None of them played for the Devils, so I couldn't. Just didn't seem right, you know dating someone on a different team, and cheering for the Devils. At least you took a job with them, maybe then I can be seen in public with you.
D:Well, I'm relieved. I'm surprised. I thought that someone would have swept you off your feet. I was so sure, especially when I heard Cristina talk about you having Michael. It never even dawned on me that it was your son, our son.
M:Yeah. What about you? What about after you and Addison?
D:I never slept with Addison. Not since New York. Not since before you. Don't get me wrong, we tried once, but it was just so wrong. I couldn't. I felt like I was betraying you. Even though I thought you were with someone, it's almost like I had to see it, before I believed it.
M:looked up at him. You waited? For me?
D:Yeah, I did.
M:Wow, aren't we a couple of idiots. Laughing. I thought that you didn't love me. I thought because you left me for her, that you didn't love me.
Derek grabbed her.
D:No, I did love you. I still love you. You Meredith Grey are everything to me. You have made my whole world stop. I have nothing without you. I am nothing without you. These past few years have been a nightmare for me. The only thing that has kept me going was the chance that one day I would see you again. Please believe me. There hasn't been one day that has passed by where I haven't thought of you. You are a part of me. That will never change. Even if you tell me to walk out of this room, to leave you, you will forever be a part of me.
Meredith just looks at him, unable to stop the tears that are falling down her face.
M:Please don't leave Derek. Please don't leave me again, I don't think I could handle it.
Derek pulls her to him, holds her tight,
D:Oh God Baby, I'm here, I'm here to stay. Please, believe me. I'm not leaving you ever. I'm here. God I missed you.
