Derek smiled as Meredith walked through the doors of their apartment. "Hi," she said putting down her bag and taking off her coat.

"Hi," Derek echoed turning his attention away from the football game. "How was the bar?"

"Fun I guess," she shrugged curling up next to him on the couch.

"Good. You drunk at all?" she shook her head 'no'. "How's Cristina?"

Meredith sighed. "She's not dating. She's not having one-night stands. She's not doing anything. All she does is work and go home, alone. I don't know what to do…Owen really broke her."

"Hopefully she'll get better eventually, over time. Or, she'll meet someone she can't resist and it'll happen for her."

"God I hope so," she sighed leaning into Derek's side. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her cheek.

"I love you," he said quietly ten minutes later.

"I love you too," she told him quietly.

"You tired?" he asked reading the time on the clock.

"A little," she yawned.

"Come on," Derek said relinquishing his grip on her and standing up. He extended a hand to her and she took it.

Leading her into their bedroom, he released her hand and they both got ready for bed, stealing glances at each other and smiling. Neither could believe how lucky they were to be in such a strong relationship. Sure they fought but this was forever. One after the other, both Meredith and Derek slipped under the covers and into the bed. Reaching out, Derek enclosed Meredith in his arms and pulled her close to him.

"Good night," she said quietly.

"Good night," he responded shutting his eyes.

Their peaceful sleeps were interrupted by a loud beeping noise. "Turn it off," Derek moaned. Reaching, Meredith hit the off button on the small black box. Derek snuggled her closer, not letting go. They lay for an unknown amount of time just enjoyed the time connected.

"Derek," she laughed lightly, "we have to go. You've got work and I've got a class."

"No," he complained pulling her closer and burring his nose in her hair. "Don't want to."

"I don't think your residents could survive with out their fearless leader."

"Sucks."

Meredith laughed and turned in his arms so she could face him. Smiling she kissed his lips lightly and wrapped her arms around him. He captured her lips and deepened the kiss. Slowly he rolled so he was positioned on top of her. "I'm going to be late for class," she said as his kisses moved to her neck, knowing what was coming next.

"I'll write you a note," he answered.

"Oh yeah that'll work," Meredith said sarcastically, stifling a moan as he kissed the spot on her neck that always drove her wild. "A not from my fiancé saying he wanted sex this morning,"

"Yes," he said traveling lower with his kisses. At this point Meredith was putty in his hands.

"We're late," she complained as she stuffed a variety of books into her bag.

"I'm not sorry," he smiled.

"You will be when you're banned from sex for a week."

"You couldn't resist me," Derek teased grabbing his coat.

"Hm."

"Come on. I'll give you a ride," he said grabbing her around he waist and kissing her cheek.

"Fine," she sighed leaning into his grip.

They walked down the flight of stairs and out the building to their car. Letting go of each other to get in the car, Meredith walked to the passenger side. Once they were both in Derek began to drive. They made normal small talk until they pulled up to the building in which her class was in. Derek looked down at his watch. "Three minutes early," he smirked.

"Oh shut up."

"Come on that was pretty good."

"Fine. You got sex and I'm on time. Good work," she said leaning in to kiss him.

"See you after work?" Derek asked.

"You bet."

"Bye," he kissed her once more.

"Bye," Meredith said as she stepped out of the car.

"Is that your mysterious doctor fiancé?" Meredith's friend Beth asked as they ran into one another.

"He is," she smiled proudly.

"He's really hot," Beth giggled.

"Yeah."

"You failed to mention that hair!"

"Yeah," Meredith sighed, "it's one of the things that makes me happy," she giggled as they walked into the lecture.

"Let's get married," Derek suggested walking into their room after a twelve-hour shift.

"Derek, I already said yes, twice," Meredith laughed.

"Hi," he threw in kissing her cheek and flopping down next to her.

"Hi," she smiled at him.

"Let's get married," he repeated.

"You've now officially asked four times."

"I meant, lets actually get married, soon. I want to call you my wife. I just want us to be married. We don't want anything big so I was just wondering if you just wanted to go down to city hall with mom, Addie, Mark, Cristina and just do it."

"Sounds perfect," she smiled kissing his lips lightly. "What brought this sudden urge on?"

"Can't I just want to marry my hot fiancé?" he asked earning a disbelieving look from her. Derek looked down and looked back up at her. "My patient died today."

"I'm sorry," she said running her fingers through his hair. Being the amazing caring person he was, patient's deaths were always hard on him.

"She was in a car crash and her fiancé of two years' biggest regret was never marrying her."

"Derek," Meredith sighed pulling him closer to her.

"I don't want my biggest regret in life to be never marrying you."

"I'm not leaving you," she promised.

"I know," Derek smiled shifting so his head was resting comfortably on her chest. Looking down at him, Meredith began running her fingers through his dark locks.

"So when should we get married?" she smiled.

"We could do it at the end of the summer. The day before my weeklong break," he suggested, "I was kind of thinking we could go on a cruise. I've always wanted to go. What do you think?"

"I think that all sounds perfect, a week alone with you. No cell phones or pagers."

"No friends."

"Just us. It's perfect for a honeymoon."

"Perfect," he smiled kissing her lips softly.

"We're getting married," Meredith spoke quietly.

"We're getting married," Derek echoed.
