Also, I recently got back from Disney so I was looking for inspiration for the next chapter lol

Thank you! Enjoy!

Chapter 50:

"Oh!" Meredith moans happily as Derek rolls to the side with a satisfied sigh. He immediately pulls her naked back against his naked chest, spooning her. His legs intertwine with hers and he snuggles his nose into her neck as Meredith squeezes his arms. This is Meredith's favorite part, when he holds her after sex. "Hmm, I feel so safe right now, Derek. So peaceful."

"Hmm, me too, Mer." Derek replies huskily as he kisses her shoulder. Meredith rubs his shin with her foot and leans back into him. They are both still panting as they hold each other.

"I'm glad we have the day off." Meredith says.

"Me too." Derek says into her hair. He loves how her lavender is all around him. "I'm excited for Disney in a couple of days.

"Definitely. The kids kept talking about it last night when I reminded them that it's just three more sleeps then we'll go on the plane."

"I know Bailey is excited to show Lexie everything." Derek laughs.

"Oh my, he's gonna be her tour guide, Derek."

"He loves his baby sister that's for sure."

"We should probably get their outfits for the trip today."

"We should, they may still fit though and did you just openly suggest dressing our kids up for a family trip?!" Derek looks at her in shock.

"I did." Comes Meredith's sweet giggle. "I really enjoyed that last year." She turns her head so she can look at him.

"I'm so glad, Mer." Derek smiles, his thumb and forefinger stroking her jaw. His eye gaze flows from her eyes to her lips back and forth before he kisses her. "So, I was thinking, before we shop, we could have a Disney movie marathon this morning." He says after he pulls away, still stroking her chin.

"Hmm, I was seriously thinking the same thing."

"Oh yeah?" Derek smirks and Meredith nods. "Well, then it's settled. Besides, Lexie needs to see some to get her ready."

"She's watched a couple with Zola and Bails, mostly Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. Oh, and Frozen."

"Hmm, I guess we will watch Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Oh and The Little Mermaid." Replies Derek.

"Bailey is going to want to watch Toy Story."

"We can watch that too." Derek smiles.

"What are we watchin' daddy?" Comes Zola's little voice.

Derek and Meredith exchange shocked looks. Neither had heard her open the door. "Hi, princess!" He smiles as he sits up and Meredith covers her chest before following.

"Morning, Daddy, morning, Mama!" Zola hugs them after Derek lifts her above his head and kisses her chubby little cheeks all over.

"Well, Zo." Begins Meredith. "Daddy and I were thinking of having a movie day and watching Disney movies to get ready for our trip soon. How does that sound?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zola says as she squeals with joy and bounces up and down.

"We need to make sure Lexie has seen some." Meredith explains. "She's been watching them, but she is now getting to the age of liking them. She is almost almost eight months."

"She can pick her favorite princess!" Zola says, her eyes glimmering with joy.

"You're right, ZoZo. That way when we go get Disney outfits later, she will know." Meredith plays along.

"Sounds like a plan!" Derek says while pulling both girls close to him.

"Where are we staying this time, Der?"

"Hmm, you know I'm not gonna tell." Derek laughs as he pulls her close and kisses her cheek. Meredith giggles, leaning into him and rests her hand on his chest.

"I have ways of getting you to talk, Der." She purrs, nipping at his lips.

"Oh yeah?" Derek hums as he captures her lips with his. He slowly traces her lips with his tongue before exploring her cavern.

"Daddy! We gotta hurry! Daddy!" Zola pokes his chin as she tilts her head back, seeing her parents kiss. They don't seem to hear as Derek reaches across Zola to cup Meredith's cheek, lost in each other. "Daddy! Mama!" Zola says loudly, pushing on their cheeks. Both deeply engrossed in a loving kiss.

"Oh, um, sorry, Zo." Derek smiles at her as Meredith blushes.

"It okay." Giggles Zola. "I'm hungry and we gotta get ready for movies!"

"Okay, miss Zola. Let's go get some food." Derek sits up and playfully lifts her off the bed, spinning her as he stands.

"I'll go get Bailey." Meredith offers.

"Okay, we'll get food and the movies. Wanna watch in here?"

"Sounds good." Meredith agrees as she watches Derek take Zola's hand and lead her out the door. Before he steps out, Derek turns to give Meredith a smile and a wink that says we will continue that later. Relishing in the goosebumps he just created, she shivers in anticipation before getting herself dressed in sweats. Once she is dressed, she heads to Bailey's room but not before stopping to get a look at her husband and daughter. Zola is hysterically laughing as Derek is speaking in funny Disney voices while cutting some fruit. Meredith leans on the doorway with a smile. She goes into Bailey's room where she can see his head moving side to side. He's laying on his back, hand on his chest.

"Mama?" Comes his tiny voice. His bright blue eyes blink open as Meredith sits on the bed.

"Hi, baby." Meredith coos, brushing his blonde locks out of his face.

"Morning, mama!" Bailey smiles, his little body seeming so small amongst his animals.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Meredith rubs his cheeks, encouraging him. "Guess what! We're going to watch some movies this morning, I'm so glad you're up in time." Meredith says knowing that her son needs that extra encouragement to wake up like she does.

This wakes Bailey up efficiently. "We are!?" He squeals, sitting up with a smile on his face. Meredith nods as she's bombarded with his hugs.

"Mhmm, we need you and Zola to show Lexie some other Disney movies."

"Okay, mama! Can we watch Toy Story too?"

"Of course, buddy." Meredith lifts him, kissing his forehead. Derek and Zola are no longer in the kitchen when Meredith and Bailey walk out. Instead, Meredith finds them back in the master bedroom. Derek sits on his side, wearing his Bowdoin shirt and Zola in the middle. There's a tray with bagels, cream cheese, fruit, coffee and juice over the legs.

"Daddy!" Bailey screams with excitement as Meredith carries him in the room.

"Hey bud!" Derek laughs as Meredith sits next to Zola and Bailey climbs over his sister to reach Derek. The dishes on the tray clanking together as the bed moves. Zola scoots close to Meredith and wraps her arms around her waist. Meredith giggles as she reciprocates the hug. Derek stops mid bear hug to watch. He meets Meredith's eye and they both smile. Both signaling how much they love these moments. "Are you guys ready for our Disney-fest?!" Derek asks as Bailey snuggles into Derek's lap.

"Yeah!" Bailey nods, grabbing some fruit.

"Good, as soon as Lexie wakes up we will feed her and start watching." Derek smiles at the kids. They continue eating, Meredith laughing as Derek playfully feeds the kids. She watches how he takes a piece of food and holds it over their mouths, playing. The kids bouncing to get a bite before he gets the food to their mouths as they all giggle with glee.

"Mama! I hear Lexie!" Zola says halfway through their food. Lexie's babbles and laughter can be heard over the monitor.

"You're right, I will go get her." Meredith says as she begins to stand. Before she completely stands, Derek grabs her hand. He gives her their signature look, making Meredith giggle.

"What?" She giggles again, blushing.

"Nothing. Just wanted to say, I love you." He beams.

"I love you too, Derek." She smiles back at him. Squeezing his hand while keeping their eyes locked, she then heads into Lexie's bedroom. "Good morning, angel." Meredith coos.

Lexie looks up from playing with her covered toes at Meredith. "Lalalabadi!" She babbles while giving her the same smile Derek just gave. "Paya!" Lexie purposely babbles, holding her arms up.

"Oh, you want me to pick you up, huh?" Meredith giggles, reaching down to get her youngest daughter. "Okay, sweetie, let's change you and how about we put your princess jammies on for our movie day?" Meredith explains as she begins getting Lexie changed. She figures that would be best since Zola and Bailey are already wearing theirs. Afterwards, Meredith takes her to the fridge to get a bottle and some food for her. She can hear shrieks of laughter coming from her bedroom as she mixes some mashed banana into Lexie's cereal. "Oh, I wonder what your daddy is doing with your brother and sister." She laughs. Lexie looks at Meredith and then towards the location of the noises. "Ready to see daddy?" Meredith asks.

"La!" She coos and claps her hands.

"Daddy! Daddy! That tickles!" Zola squeals as she squirms on the bed.

"I help you, Zo!" Meredith sees Bailey stumble on the moving bed and topple onto Derek. Bailey tries to move Derek's hands, but Derek is quick and pulls him so that his back is against his chest.

"Gotcha!" Derek laughs as he starts tickling Bailey. He lays Bailey next to Zola and tickles them at the same time.

Meredith watches with joy as her heart fills with love while watching her husband with two of their kids. She watches until Derek and the kids are out of breath. Derek sits back against the headboard and the kids scurry up to lay on his chest. "That was fun, daddy." Zola says as he kisses her head.

"So fun!" Bailey agrees while Derek lingers his lips on Bailey's head next.

"That looked like fun guys." Meredith says as she stands in the doorway with Lexie.

"Hey you! There are my two other girls." Derek says, holding out his arms. He pulls Meredith next to him after she places the food on the nightstand. "Hello." He says again, his voice deep and lustful as Meredith leans in and rests her chin on his chest. Derek kisses her and hugs her tight.

Lexie sits in Meredith's arms as she watches between Meredith and Derek. She watches as. Derek nuzzles Meredith's hair with his nose and kisses her head once more. "Badadiyada!" She bats at Derek's mouth.

"Lex?" He looks down at her to see a scowl on her little face.

"Hmm, definitely a daddy's girl." Meredith giggles. She hugs Lexie against her chest. Lexie whines in protest and reaches for Derek.

"Hi, baby girl." Derek laughs as he lifts the baby into his arms. "Did you want a hug?"

"Mimabida pata!" Lexie smiles and lays her head on his shoulder. She lifts her head back up to give Derek an open mouth kiss right on the chin.

"She wanted her daddy." Meredith says as she strokes her hair.

"She did and that means are you gonna say dada first, right?" Derek holds her in front of him. "Dada?" Lexie just looks at him with her deep green eyes.

"Nah, she may be a daddy's girl, but she's gonna say mama. Right, Lex? Where's mama?" Meredith says and Lexie looks over and reaches towards Meredith. "Say, mama sweetie!" Coaxes Meredith. Lexie just looks at her and lays back on Derek's chest.

"Mama." Giggles Bailey as he crawls into Meredith's lap. Meredith and Derek share a look as she hugs him close, followed by Zola who climbs in as well.

"Guess not mama, either, huh?" Smirks Derek.

"ZoZo has always been a daddy's girl and she said mama first."

"To be fair, I was in surgery when you were working with her." Derek nudges her.

"Don't blame surgery, Derek! Bailey said it too."

"Watch it be neither." Derek laughs.

"That is quite a possibility." Meredith laughs along with him as they see Lexie become fussy.

"Baby's hungry." Derek says as he bounces her. Meredith grabs the food and bottle on the night stand and hands it to Derek. He grabs a spoonful and holds it front of her. "Lex, say dada!" He tries again.

"Say, mama." Meredith glares at Derek now as Zola and Bailey look back and forth between the two. Derek smirks mischievously and looks down at Lexie.

"Lex, if you say dada I'll buy you a toy." He tries as Lexie looks from the food up to Derek.

"Seriously, Derek? Bribing already?" Meredith laughs.

"Uh, mama? Daddy?" Zola tugs on their shirts. They look down to see that Lexie had pulled the spoon into her mouth and missed. She was now sticking her fingers in the bowl and attempting to bring the mushy cereal to her mouth.

"Uh oh!" Bailey gasps.

"Oops." Meredith mumbles. She reaches to the nightstand where there was a pack of baby wipes.

"I think we got a little carried away, huh?" Derek laughs as he helps clean Lexie's neck.

"Yeah, maybe no talking practice while eating." Meredith reasons.

"Or when we wanna watch Disney movies!" Zola says definitively.

"Good point, Zo." Meredith praises. "Did we figure out which one we were watching first?"

"Sleeping Beauty!" Zola nods.

"Cause it's your favorite, right mama?" Bailey looks up from his spot in Meredith's lap.

"That's right, buddy." Meredith smiles at him and looks over at the wall where the drawing of the tumor on the wall was. She smiles when she looks at the snow globe Derek got her on the dresser underneath the picture.

"Then Snow White and The Little Mermaid." Zola lists.

"Then Toy Story!" Bailey claps his hands for his newly discovered movie. "I love Toy Story, but not as much as Frozen." He explains, seriously.

"Oh yeah?" Meredith giggles, tickling him.

"Cinderella will be my favorite forever and ever!" Zola nods.

"What about Belle?"

"I love her too, mama, but my favorite is Cinderella."

"How come?" Bailey asks before either Meredith or Derek.

"Ummm…" Zola gets extremely shy and buries herself into Meredith's lap, covering her face.

"Zola?" Derek asks as he scoops the last bite of food into Lexie's mouth. Zola looks up at Derek and then away quickly.

"ZoZo?" Meredith giggles. She feels confused at her daughter's nervousness. Her fingers stroke her hand, giving her comfort.

"I don't wannasayit out loud." She mumbles into Meredith's chest.

"It's okay, sweetie." Meredith now rubs her back in soothing circles, kissing her head.

"You wanna whisper it to one of us?" Derek asks.

When she doesn't answer, Bailey takes things into his hands. "Whisper to me, ZoZo." He pats her shoulder.

"That is very sweet of you, Bails." Meredith coos, reaching to stroke his blonde hair.

Zola sits up with a tentative look. Sighing she leans into Bailey, her hands covering the sides of her mouth as she skillfully tells her brother. Derek smirks at Meredith as they watch Bailey get a smile on his face.

"There's nothin' wrong with that Zo! That kinda like why I love Elsa." Bailey says with a smile. "You just switch…"

"Bailey!" Zola stops him before he finishes, covering his mouth.

"I wasn't gonna say it!" Bailey says.

"Good." Zola sits back and crosses her arms as she leans back into Meredith's chest.

"Wow!" Meredith bites her lip to keep her laughter at bay. As she looks at Derek.

"I'm gonna go get the movies." Derek suppresses his own laughs as he scoots out of bed to stand. "Wanna help me, Lex?"

"Ah magabi dalo!" Lexie replies. Derek kisses her cheek as he carries her out, her bottle clutched in her chubby little hands.

"Mama?" Zola looks up at her.

"Yes, sweetie?" Meredith says softly.

"If I tell you, can you not tell daddy til later later?" Her big brown eyes pleading.

Meredith looks at her confused. "Sure, ZoZo. But why don't you wanna tell daddy?"

"Cause. Just promise."

"Okay, ZoZo." Meredith strokes her hair gently, intrigued. "Bailey, can you go ask daddy to bring me some more coffee."

Bailey nods as he wiggles out of bed. "Save my spot!" He calls, running out the door.

"Okay, Zo. Just us girls now." Meredith says. Zola nods and takes a deep breath.

"'Kay. Cinderella is my most favorite because." Zola stops and takes a deep breath. "Because her prince reminds me of daddy."

Meredith feels her heart melt. That was one of the most precious things she has ever heard. "Oh, Zola! That is so sweet." Meredith hugs Zola. "Because they look alike?"

"Uh huh and they are both handsome and very, very nice and take care of who they love."

"Zola, I couldn't agree more." Meredith beams, kissing Zola's cheeks, making her giggle.

"You think so too, mama?"

"Absolutely!" Meredith nods. She wraps her arms around Zola again and closes her eyes. When she opens them she sees Derek with a cup of coffee and a plate of cookies in one hand and Lexie in the other arm. Bailey clamors back into his spot with the movies.

Derek tilts his head and smiles at the sweet mother daughter moment. "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I got your coffee and you also asked for cookies?" Derek adds the last part looking confused.

Meredith smirks, looking at Bailey. "Hmm, I ordered coffee, but I don't remember asking for cookies." She raises her eyebrows at Bailey. He giggles with a wide smile as he sinks back into her chest. "I think a Cookie Monster ordered them." She hugs Bailey close and kisses his head.

"Hmm, is that so. Well, I guess if the Cookie Monster asked it couldn't hurt to have one." Derek smiles, tickling Bailey before picking up the first movie. Once it's set, he sits with Lexie next to Meredith. "Hmm, hello!" He says in a goofy, lion voice. Derek's eyes glimmering with love as he sends her a McDreamy smile. He catches Meredith's eye as they stare at each other. Meredith leans towards his mouth, eyes trained on his lips. Derek hums as he captures her lips into a kiss. His tongue begging for entrance which Meredith gladly allows. She rests her hand on his cheek when they pull away. Her eyes not wanting to leave his, she can stare at him all day.

"Look, mama! It's Aurora!" Bailey directs them to the movie. Meredith grins as she looks at the television. Derek's arm wraps around her, pulling her to rest in the warm crook of his neck. Zola and Bailey snuggle in her lap as Lexie claims Derek's lap. Lexie pays attention to some of the songs, but gets distracted by her toes during the first part of the end.

"Guess she's not crazy about Aurora." Meredith says as the credits roll and Lexie lays on her belly in front of them, kicking her legs.

"Well, she's still young, Meredith." Derek smirks.

"When Zola first saw Cinderella she was in a trance during the whole thing. Lexie can play with her sort and discover activity cube for over an hour. The same length as this movie." Meredith replies.

"Hmm, maybe she will like Snow White. She would make an adorable Snow White with her hair."

"She would, Derek." Meredith giggles, smiling as she plays with Lexie's messy curls.

"Put it on, daddy!" Zola claps her hands while Derek sits up. "Lex, we are gonna watch another princess movie!" She coos as the baby watches her. When the movie starts playing, Lexie turns her head to the sound.

"Liyaba." She gurgles as she she looks from the tv to Derek. Lexie then sits herself up and reaches for Derek. He gladly takes her and covers her in a blanket on his lap. She seems to enjoy this movie more. Her chubby little fingers reach eagerly at the screen when the dwarves appear.

"Lexie, those are dwarves. They are short and funny." Bailey explains. "Well, most are, 'sept Grumpy, he's grumpy."

"They all have something that makes us smile though, right Bails." Meredith helps.

"Yeah, but Dopey makes us laugh and laugh!" Bailey says just in time for Dopey to come on screen.

"Sneezy always has to sneeze!" Zola points." Lexie listens, appearing fascinated. As the movie progresses, though, Lexie looses interest. She is able to be brought back more than the first, but cuddles to her side into Derek's chest. After, they decide to play Toy Story. She watches that for a while, but then begins blinking her eyes sleepily. Luckily, she is still awake when it ends, so Meredith and Derek decide to give Little Mermaid a chance. As soon as Lexie sees the fishes swimming and the Mermaids all around, she drops her fingers out of her mouth. Her eyes go wide when she hears the first song.

"Derek, look!" Meredith points as Lexie leans forward, away from Derek's chest.

"I think she likes Ariel, mama!" Zola giggles as Lexie bounces and reaches for the tv as Ariel sings "Part of your World."

"I guess so." Meredith replies. Lexie watches more of this movie more attentively, only shying away during Ursula's parts.

"Hmm, so we have a Princess Cinderella and a Princess Ariel." Derek laughs as the movie ends. He turns it off and sees Lexie look up at him with her big, green eyes.

"Oh, Derek!" Meredith giggles as she watches Lexie's lip quiver. "I think she wants more." Lexie begins to cry and both Meredith and Derek's hearts break.

"Put it on again, daddy." Bailey says with concern for his sister.

"Ok, bud." Derek quickly hits some buttons and puts on "Part of your World."

"Look, Lex. It's back. Did you want more?" Meredith asks.

"Pa!" Lexie attempts to nod her head. Her cries soften and she only sniffles as she watches. When it's over, Derek plays "Under the Sea" which makes Lexie giggle furiously.

"Wow!" Meredith shakes her head. They watch the songs a few more times before they decide to grab a quick late lunch before heading to the mall.

"Here, Lexie." Zola runs back into the bedroom. She had snuck out when she heard Derek say this would be the last song. "So she doesn't cry again." Zola looks up at her parents to explain. She had grabbed her Ariel doll that sings when you press the button.

"Zola, that was very sweet of you." Meredith beams as Zola climbs up next to Lexie. Zola pulls Lexie to her and shows her how to press the buttons. Lexie smiles and giggles when she hears "Part of your World" play.

"I'm very proud of you, ZoZo." Derek says as he turns off the movie.

"Thanks, daddy!" Zola smiles at him. They all head out of the bedroom with Lexie clutching onto the doll. Derek and Meredith make lunch for the kids before eating and getting everyone dressed.

"We should see if the outfits from Lexie's pregnancy reveal fit her at all." Meredith says as she stands after helping Bailey get on his navy shorts.

"They should, Mer. She's tiny, a lot of her 3-6 month clothes still fit." Derek answers.

"You never know. Besides, I really wanna see her in them." Meredith giggles. Derek proudly smiles at her and wraps her in his arms from behind. He rests his chin in her neck and kisses her skin up and down. He pauses to nip and suck on that one spot that always makes her gasp. His arms rest on her stomach, right above her waistband.

"Let's go find them, then." He says. They look back to see Lexie, Zola and Bailey playing peacefully. Derek walks with his Meredith still in his arms into Lexie's room. They find the Pooh Bear onesie with the hood and "My first trip to Disney" shirt and head back to Bailey's room.

"Come here, Lexie." Meredith coos as she picks up the baby. She carefully undresses her and places her in the costume, making sure not to disturb the doll clutched protectively in Lexie's hands.

"It fits!" Derek says as his eyes fill with tears.

Meredith strokes his cheek with a smile as he watches Lexie pick at the new feeling on her body. Her hands reaching on her head to touch the Pooh Bear hood. "You okay, Der?" She coos.

Derek nods, sucking in a deep breath. "Yeah. I'm great, Mer." He gives her a watery smile. "Just seeing Lexie in what you used to tell me about her just brings back the wonderful feeling I felt that night." Derek tilts his head and smiles.

"Oh, Der!" Meredith whispers, embracing him. She wraps her arms around his neck and runs her fingers in his curls. He reciprocates and brushes her hair back.

"Yamima amyimo!" Lexie babbles.

"I think she likes." Meredith giggles. "I guess if this fits, her shirt will." She pokes Lexie in the belly and the baby giggles as she smiles at Meredith.

"Yeah, now, question is, when does she wear these because I really want to get her a princess dress." Derek smirks at Meredith. She laughs as they look down at Lexie who smiles widely at them.

"Oh, Der." Meredith hums as she thinks and then looks at him. He's playing with Lexie's hands, bouncing them up and down. "How about, she wears her shirt on the plane and when we check into the hotel. This outfit when we checkout downtown Disney and then her princess dress in the park?"

"I like that, Mer. What do you think, Lex? You wanna wear a princess dress like ZoZo?" Derek playfully asks.

"Eyala mewa." Lexie replies and smiles at Zola.

"I love how she's trying to answer." Derek says.

"Me too, she's gonna say her first word any day now. I can feel it." Giggles Meredith.

"It's gonna be dada, right Lexie?" Derek says.

"Oh, daddy! You're so silly." Bailey laughs.

"Oh yeah?" Derek plays reaching to grab Bailey. The little boy shrieks with joy as Derek scoops him up and hugs him before spinning him around. Derek kisses his son's cheeks and brings him to settle on his hip. "Let's get to the store." He says finally.

"Okay, then maybe pizza and ice cream by the docks at sunset?" Meredith suggests as she picks up Lexie.

"Sounds good to me" Derek smiles, taking Meredith's hand in his. They all begin to head to the car and make their way to the mall. Derek parks the car close to the main entrance which is rare. Meredith lifts out the stroller and places Lexie inside. Standing next to Derek, she takes Zola's hand as Bailey jumps on the attached riding piece on the stroller in front of Derek. Meredith places her free hand on Derek's as he begins pushing the stroller.

"Do I get to pick out another dress, mama?" Zola wonders as she looks up at Meredith.

"You do, love bug. Remember, your dress was so tight when we tried it on last night."

"Plus, you grew a couple of inches." Derek adds, navigating his way around some frazzled shoppers.

"Did you want to pick a different princess, ZoZo?" Asks Meredith.

"Umm, I don't think so." Zola puts her little finger to her lip and thinks long and hard. "I love all of them."

"I know, Zo. It is hard. But we are going to go to Disney many, many more times." Meredith says as she pulls her little head against her leg.

"Whoever I pick, Bails hasta be my prince!" Zola says with a sweet little smile that Meredith finds very hard to reprimand.

"What?! Why?!" Bailey squeaks.

"Cause, can't have a princess without a prince! Look at mama and daddy." Zola reasons and Derek and Meredith give each other a look. Derek gives one of a cross between sultry and I told ya so and Meredith gives him one that says she is so your child. Before they both laugh, Derek stopping to pull her close against his chest.

"Zola." Derek says once their laughter dies down. "Maybe if you ask for it nicely, Bailey will be more willing."

"Daddy!" Bailey argues.

"Sorry, Bails, but you have two sisters. You're never gonna win the princess and prince debate." He laughs again. "How about you can pick a costume to wear either on the plane or when we go to Downtown Disney?"

Bailey considers this for a moment. "Hmm, okay daddy. I'm sorry, Zo. I will be your prince." He smiles at his sister happily.

"Good boy, buddy." Meredith giggles as they turn into the store. "So, was that how these things happened during Shepherd family Disney trips with your sisters?" She looks up at Derek with a smirk.

"Every word." Derek muses. "My dad would let me get Robin Hood or Peter Pan. A couple times it was Captain Hook."

"Derek." Meredith shakes her head. "But, you did turn out to be quite a prince." She smiles, hugging his arm, resting her head on the strong muscle.

"Hmm, good." He bends down to kiss her sweetly.

"Let's look, mama, daddy!" Bailey says, shaking the stroller.

"Okay, okay." Derek laughs as he lifts Bailey to the ground. "Let's take a look." They walk through the Disney Store where they see lots and lots of toys of all their favorite movies.

"Can I get this?!" Zola asks as she holds up a Jasmine play set.

"Love bug, we're gonna be in Disney in just a few days. Why don't we wait until then. You might see something better." Meredith coaxes.

"But it's so fun."

"I know, but we are here to get an outfit for Disney, not a toy right now." Meredith says, rubbing her cheek.

"Okayyy." Zola moans and puts the box down.

"They may have that same toy there, princess." Derek suggests as he leads her to the huge corner of princess gowns and other character costumes. Zola nods as her mood is quickly uplifted when she sees the sparkly blue, pink, purple and yellow gowns.

"Look! It's Elsa's dress! This is Anna's!" Zola says eagerly.

"Look! Mama! It's an Olaf outfit!" Bailey gasps at the white costume before him.

"It is buddy!" Meredith giggles before wrapping her arms around Derek's side. She leans up to whisper in his ear. "It may be pretty adorable to see them in Downtown Disney as Elsa and Olaf, Derek.

"That would be adorable, though maybe we should do that for Halloween. The kids are right at the perfect age to do those sibling Halloween costumes." Derek suggests. "Since Lexie has most of her Disney outfits."

Meredith giggles. "You really want her to wear that Pooh Bear outfit."

"Can't help it, Meredith. She looked so perfect." Derek coos down at Lexie who is sleeping away, her Ariel doll in her protective grasp.

"I agree, Derek." She leans up to kiss his cheek, continuing to play with the curls when she pulls away. They stare longingly at each other as the kids continue to explore. Finally, Bailey comes up to them, costume in hand.

"I picked one, mama an daddy!" He smiles at his choice. "I wanna be Dopey!" Derek and Meredith look at him, surprised.

"Wow, that's a good choice buddy!" Derek says, proud.

"Yes, that will look adorable." Meredith coos as she takes the costume and checks it out.

"Bailey, that's great! I can be Snow White!" Zola jumps, eyes wide.

"Ya, Zo!" Bailey smiles with joy. "Then, the next day I will be your prince!"

"Derek, did we tell Zo she could get two?" Meredith whispers.

"Hmm, no. But I guess it's fair. We are letting Bailey pick and Lexie has multiple." Derek answers before turning to Zola. "Hey, Zola?" She turns away from Bailey to look at Derek. "Were you planning on wearing that dress to the park?"

"Um, no daddy. But, I thought since Bailey was only wearing a prince costume cause I'm making him, that I could wear a costume that goes with what he picked." Zola explains and then gasps. "Oh no!" She says, suddenly worried. Her little lip trembles as she buries her head in Meredith's legs.

"What's wrong love bug?" Meredith coos as she bends down.

"I'm sorry, mama." She looks up at her with wide eyes.

"Why?" Replies Meredith. What Zola says next shocks Meredith and Derek. This next statement tells them that they have a daughter wise beyond her years.

"I forgot to ask you an daddy if I could pick anudder dress too." She says, looking down at her feet.

"Oh, ZoZo!" Meredith coos as she lifts her into her arms for a hug. "It's okay. We forgot to suggest you pick one also." Meredith kisses her head and rocks her. She looks at Derek and smiles.

Derek comes up and places his hand over Meredith's on Zola's head and the other on her back. "Princess, we are so proud that you thought of that yourself, that was a very grown up thing to do, so sweet." He kisses her head and Zola smiles softly at him. "I'm sorry we forgot to tell you that you could pick another outfit to wear."

"It's okay, daddy. I can get that Snow White dress?" Zola asks.

"Yes, baby girl. Unless you really wanted a different one?" Derek replies.

"No, I think I want Belle for the park. 'Sides, I like dressin up with Bails." Zola giggles.

"Oh, ZoZo!" Meredith squeezes her in a hug. "I love you so much."

"Love ya too, mama." She says as she wiggles down, running to grab a Belle costume.

"Derek!" Meredith says in shock as they watch her explore with Bailey.

"She is so incredible." Derek says to her as they watch. "So grown up."

"She is, though we shouldn't be surprised. Zola did want a car when she was barely four." Meredith giggles, making Derek's pulse rise in eager anticipation. He wraps his arms around her waist, unable to resist and hums as he pulls her close and kisses her. They pull back panting as their eyes shine with desire.

"I need you, Mer." He whispers huskily.

"Hmm, I can tell." Meredith giggles as she presses against him, her hands resting on his waist and looping into the belt loop. "Tonight, Der. I'm all yours." She giggles as she feels a bulge in his pants begin to grow.

"Good!" He smiles, placing another loving kiss on her lips. He closes his eyes for a moment, needing to control himself. Derek strokes her cheeks with a smile before reluctantly turning to begin looking for an Ariel costume for Lexie.

"Aww, Der, look!" Meredith picks up a baby sized Ariel costume. It's aqua on top with ruffled sleeves that only go down a little. The middle is tapered purple with a shiny fish skin design and the bottom is aqua with the material flowing into what looks like a tail at the feet. The whole outfit is shimmery and sparkly. There is a pendant with Ariel's picture on the chest.

"That is so cute!" Derek says. He then picks up matching baby slippers and even a tiara.

"Look, Der, they have her necklace too." Meredith says as she presses the button. She gasps as she hears Ariel's singing voice like it does in the movie.

"Perfect." Derek smiles. "I can't wait till she wakes up and we can show her."

"Mama, daddy, I gots my dress and Bailey has his prince costume."

"Oh! Let's see, ZoZo!" Derek beams.

"I get to be the Beast!" Bailey exclaims.

"Woah! I guess so." Meredith giggles. "A prince in disguise." She brushes their hair back as they jump with joy. "You have a Belle wand, right Zo?"

"Yes, mama." Zola replies.

"Okay, then. We will just get Belle shoes and tiara then." Derek says as he adds everything to the pile on the stroller.

"Here's mine, daddy!" Bailey exclaims as he hands Derek his costume.

As Derek thanks him, he checks it out. "Wow, look, Mer. It's actually the Beast's outfit after he turns human again." He shows her the costume. It's black pants with a white shirt, gold vest and a light blue and gold jacket. It even comes with the fuzzy ears like the beast.

"Cute, I like that it gives the beast ears." Meredith strokes the material as Derek places the outfit on top of the sparkly, yellow Belle dress with red roses along part of the waist.

"Bailey, watch out!" They hear Zola scream. Panicked, Meredith and Derek look over to see Bailey climbing on the round tiered table with the stuffed animals. Zola called just in time to see a whole pile of animals topple onto Bailey as he grabs one, knocking him back.

"Bailey!" Meredith and Derek call in shock, running to him.

"Ow!" Bailey moans as Derek lifts him out of the mess. "I hit my ebow ." He says as he clutches it in his hand.

"Oh, Bails." Derek murmurs as he kisses his head, trying not to act scared. He carefully takes his arm and lifts it to take a look. Both Meredith and Derek breathe in relief when Bailey doesn't flinch or scream in pain.

"Just a bump, baby." Meredith says as she kisses him and pulls him into her arms. She hugs him tight for a minute before pulling him back to look at him. "What were you trying to do, bud?"

"They had a Cogsworth toy I thought we could carry with us since we were going as Beauty and the Beast." Bailey mumbles softly.

"Oh, buddy. That is a good idea, but we already told Zo that we were only getting outfits today." Derek brushes his hair back.

"Aw!" Bailey moans.

"I know, bud. But, you know, it's time for pizza and ice cream, okay?" Meredith offers trying to deter him. Bailey looks skeptical but then smiles.

"Let's get these toys picked up." Derek says as he sees an employee walking towards them. Meredith apologizes profusely while Derek and Zola pick up the toys. Meredith is still holding Bailey as they walk out with a big Disney store bag ten minutes later. They hurried, wanting to get out as quickly as possible. Derek drives them down to the dock, smiling at Meredith as they watch the kids sing along to Ariel. Meredith turns to see Lexie, who woke up on the way to the car, with a huge smile on her face as she claps along to "Part of Your World."

"She loves that song, Der." She giggles, placing her hand on his thigh.

"She sure does!" Derek tries to sneak a peek while parking.

"Wait! Don't turn off the car yet!" Meredith gasps. He pauses his hand on the key. "Lexie may cry if you stop the music now."

"Good call, Meredith." Derek let's out a relieved breath. He turns to see Meredith looking back at the kids as they attempt to sing the song in loud voices. He beams with happiness as he sees Meredith's eyes sparkling as she watches Bailey take Zola's hand as they sing. Lexie kicks her feet and holds her Ariel up in the air. Her giggles mixing with the singing.

"Who wants pizza?" Derek says cheerfully as the song ends.

"Me, me!" Zola and Bailey gasp as they realize that they have arrived. Derek gets out of the car and helps the two older ones while Meredith gets Lexie.

"Niya!" Lexie babbles with arms reaching for Derek.

"Come here, Lex." Derek laughs as he takes her into his arms.

"Such a daddy's girl." Meredith giggles as Bailey grabs her free hand. "Hmmm, both of them." She laughs when she sees Zola take Derek's free hand.

"Don't worry, Mer. We have all night." Derek leans close and whispers in her ear.

"Hmm, can't wait!" She giggles, wrapping her arms around his waist and laying her head on his shoulder. They get seated at their favorite Italian restaurant with warm red and white checkered tablecloths and black metal chairs. Zola and Bailey love pointing out the paintings of Italy spread around the room of the restaurant. Derek listens in fascination while feeding Lexie as Meredith explains where in Italy each picture was. He's so mesmerized by her telling the kids about the Leaning Tower of Pisa and all the colorful building like they see in the photos.

"Why is there a tower of pizza that is leanin, mama?" Bailey wonders. Meredith laughs and tickles him.

"Oh, not like the food you eat, sweetie."

"Aww, I wanted to go eat it!" Bailey licks his lips and giggles.

"Well, we can go see it someday." Meredith explains as their food arrives. The kids now only care about the cheesy food in front of them as soon as Derek and Meredith place a piece on their plate.

"So good!" Zola mumbles as she takes a bite.

"My favorite!" Moans Bailey.

"It would be nice to go to Italy someday." Derek says as he eats his pizza.

"Definitely, I loved it there. But, if we go with the kids we need to wait until Lexie is much older."

"Agreed, Mer." Derek beams at her. "Though, I think it would be very romantic with just us." His voice gets velvety soft.

"Oh?" Meredith coos, leaning into him. She rests her head and side against his as he wraps her in his arms. He's giving her that perfect, sultry smile with bright shining eyes.

"Oh, yes, Meredith. You, me, fine Italian wine and food. Celebrating in a romantic, rustic villa on the countryside." He murmurs into her ear, his hot breath fanning her skin. She feels the burning desire for her husband build in her stomach.

"Derek!" She moans as she pulls closer to him, reaching up to kiss his cheek. "Is it bedtime yet?

He laughs sexily as he can see she is eager for him. "Not yet, but it is time for ice cream." Derek finishes, looking at Zola and Bailey licking their sauce covered fingers.

"Hmm, getting closer." Meredith purrs as she captures his lips in a kiss.

"Yes." Derek whispers as he feels Meredith sneak her hand up his thigh under the table.

"Zola! That gross!" They hear Bailey giggle.

Meredith and Derek look at each other, afraid to see what Bailey considered gross. "Oh no!" Derek groans as he looks at his daughter. Zola had eaten the cheese off of another piece of pizza and was playing in the sauce before dunking her dirty fingers in her water cup.

"I'm washing my hands!" She giggles.

"Zola, not in your water." Meredith says quickly, taking her hands and drying them off. Zola giggles as Meredith wipes her face.

"Guess it's time for ice cream." Derek says as he cleans Bailey.

"Yeah!" Zola cheers.

"I saw this new place on the way here." Derek recalls the fancy, old fashioned looking ice cream parlor he saw a few blocks down. "Let's walk, that way we can enjoy the dock lights and see some ferries." After agreeing, they head up to the register and pay. The summer breeze is nice and cool as they stroll along outside. Bailey and Zola jump ahead, pretending to not jump on the cracks while Derek holds Lexie in one arm and wraps his other around Meredith. He places his lips on the side of Meredith's golden locks as she cuddles into him while walking. She rubs his stomach as they slowly walk, watching Bailey and Zola study a bug on the sidewalk. Her other arm wrapped around his back and rubbing his side.

"Derek, you do know, the more sugar we give them, the easier it will be for them to sleep." Meredith says with a sneaky smile.

"Ah, so you've caught on, Dr. Grey." Derek gives her a mischievous smile, leaning down to peck her neck. Meredith looks up at him, her teeth tugging at her lip while giving a smirk. They continue bantering until they reach the ice cream 's colorful, rainbow lights around the windows and doors. A red and white pole stands next to the door. Inside is decorated with 1950's looking cartoons and has a huge pink and blue bar with matching booths spread about. Around the top border of the walls were neon lights and a black and white tile floor below their feet.

"Wow!" Breathes Bailey as he slowly walks inside. His eyes go wide as he sees people eating massive sundaes in dishes covered in whipped cream, fudge and cherries.

"This looks incredible." Meredith agrees as they step up to the counter.

"Mama, I want that!" Zola points to a waffle bowl with chocolate on the rims.

Meredith is about to bargain when she catches Derek's eye. He's giving her a look that screams "I can barely wait another second to ravish you." "Hmm, okay, ZoZo." She smiles at her daughter and rubbing her soft cheek.

"Woah! It's bigger than my head!" Bailey gasps a few minutes later when the kids waffle bowls filled with ice cream are served. He eyes his whipped cream, sprinkles and gummy bear covered chocolate treat, licking his lips before beginning. Zola claps her hands eagerly as she gets her bowl of strawberry fudge, sprinkles and candy bar covered cookies n cream ice cream.

"You are a genius, Derek." Meredith giggles as her and Derek get their larger than normal sized sundae with whipped cream.

"Hmm, thanks, but don't say that yet." He laughs. "Lexie may be the opposite." Derek remarks as he takes his spoon and holds it to Meredith's lips. She giggles before taking the bite.

"Your turn, Der." She coos as she lifts the spoon to his mouth. Derek moans as he tastes it, causing Meredith to shiver eagerly.

"You're so sexy." Derek leans in when he sees her undressing him with her eyes. He places several kisses on her neck before sitting up and stroking her cheek.

"Mama, daddy, this is the bestest ice cream ever!" Zola squeals.

"Definitely have to come back here then." Derek laughs, tickling her belly. He returns to feed Meredith as there is something so romantic and sexy about the way she gives him a soft smile before taking a bite. Her moans make him more and more eager, he has to remind himself to breathe in order to keep calm.

"Mama, I'm sleepy." Bailey whines a few minutes later as they walk out onto the street.

"Come here, bud." Derek says as he hands Lexie to Meredith. Bailey gladly goes to Derek and lays his head on his shoulder. Derek beams at Meredith as they walk down the street, Bailey drifting to sleep and Lexie blinking tiredly on Meredith's shoulder. Zola seems energetic at first, but as they reach the car, she begins rubbing her eyes and lagging behind.

"Take the long way, Der." Meredith says, shutting the door. She looks back at a now sleeping Lexie and Bailey. Derek agrees as he sees Zola blink, trying to keep her eyes open as she looks out the window.

"Good idea." Derek says, taking her hand and kissing. The drive home is torturous for Derek as he feels Meredith rub his leg dangerously close to his pants zipper throughout the ride. He can tell she is biting her lip to keep from giggling. Derek feels himself get harder as she lets her fingertips slip towards his growing erection. Once they are home, they get Zola and Bailey inside and in bed, only removing pants and shoes. Meredith insists on getting Lexie as Derek heads to the bedroom. He dims the lights and takes off his shirt. Derek is putting his pants away when he feels two arms around his waist.

"Hmm, hello!" Coos Meredith as she rubs from his naked sides to above the waistband of his navy boxers.

"Meredith." Derek moans with a smile as he leans back, feeling Meredith rest her cheek on his back. His hands clasp over hers while she kisses up his spine to his neck.

"Der! You're so damn hot right now. I need you." She scrapes her nails up his chest and back, reaching up to tug at his curls.

"I need you too." Derek growls as he spins in her arms making her squeal with laughter as he pulls her up into his arms and kisses her over and over. Alternating between small and large, heavy kisses. His eyes glisten as he falls onto the bed with Meredith in his arms.

"Oh! Oh! Yes, Derek!" Meredith throws her head back as Derek rips off her sweater and begins licking down her breasts. She grips onto his shoulders as he unsnaps her clasps and takes one nipple in his mouth, sucking. Derek takes the other breast in his hand and massages.

"Mer!" He whispers reverently as he lays his warm hands on her sides. She's panting as she straddles him. Her arms rest around his neck and she smiles when Derek looks deep into her eyes. His mouth curved into the smile that she loves so much as he strokes her sides. Up and down, his eyes follow his hands as he moves them to her back, shoulders and arms. Derek reaches up and tangles his hands in her hair while pulling it back so that he can see her soft features. He watches her lips as he drifts close. His lips press against hers as his tongue darts inside. Derek kisses her deeply with Meredith kissing back just as eagerly, her hands in the curls at the base of his neck.

"Mm, Derek!" She whispers as they kiss.

"You're so beautiful, Mer." Derek coos as he kisses her neck. He feels Meredith wrap around him tighter before he moves to lay her on the soft, silky sheets. She smiles, feeling warmth to her very core as Derek begins making love to her. They both fill the room with screams of passion as they make love through the night. When they are completely worn out, Derek pulls Meredith's naked back up against his chest and spoons her close, kissing the back of her neck and shoulder several times before burying his nose in her hair and falling asleep with Meredith.

"Daddy..." Bailey whispers the next morning as he stands on his tip toes. He is leaning barely two inches away from Derek's eyes. When Derek continues to sleep, Bailey sighs. He moves his Nemo into his other arm so that its squished against his Marshall toy. Bailey lifts his hand and pats Derek's forehead. "Daddy." He tries again. This time, Derek blinks his eyes, meeting his son's identical blues ones.

"Morning, Bails." He whispers with a tired smile.

"Mornin, daddy. Nana's here." Bailey replies proudly.

"Nana's what?" Derek questions. He's not quite sure how to process that. All he knows is that he is completely naked under the blanket and so is Meredith. If he knows his mom, then he knows he doesn't have long to get up and out of bed before she enters.

"Nana's in the kitchen. Says she brought a treat for breakfast." Bailey says while swaying side to side.

"Oh, okay. Are your sisters awake?"

Bailey shakes his head. "No, I gotted up and saw Nana when I was comin to you and mama."

"Hmm, okay. Tell Nana I will be right out." Derek says, reaching to give Bailey a kiss.

"Kay, daddy." He says before shuffling in his Dalmatian slippers out the door. Derek sighs as he sits up and rubs his eyes. Stretching, he smiles at Meredith as she snores lightly, her mussed hair splayed on her face. He brushes it back and kisses her cheek.

"Love you." He whispers before standing to put on boxers, a shirt and his black robe. Quietly, he walks out into the living room where he sees Bailey snuggling with Carolyn.

"Good morning, dear. I hope this wasn't too much. I used the spare key you gave me. I wanted to surprise you. You guys are leaving for Disney tomorrow and I need to spend time with my grand babies." Carolyn greets.

"It's fine, ma. You're always welcome, I just appreciate that you sent Bailey in to get me." Derek smirks.

"I'm glad you listened, Derek." She says back with a smile.

"Daddy!" Bailey coos as he reaches for Derek.

Derek smiles and scoops him into his arms, kissing all over. "Hey, bud."

"Nana won't tell me the surprise. She says we gotta wait for Zo and mama." Bailey pouts.

"Hmm, that's tough. But, why don't you go show Nana what you got for Disney. You get to show first since your awake." Derek says.

"Okay! I'll be right back! It's by the front door." He wiggles down and runs to the front door. Within two minutes, Carolyn is praising Bailey's costume choices, causing the boy to get a huge smile of pride.

"I hear Lexie." Derek comments as he finishes making coffee. He shares as smile with Carolyn as Bailey discusses the finer details of his costumes.

"Yabiya!" Lexie smacks her lips and smiles at Derek. He picks her up and hugs her.

"That's right, angel. Say, dada!" He kisses her cheeks as she gnaws her fingers.

"Miyadi!" She babbles.

"We'll keep trying." Derek bounces her before laying her on the changing table. He changes her and puts some pajamas on her for now before heading back to the living room. As he walks, he continues to babble with Lexie. He gets caught off guard when a bundle of five year old energy barrels into his legs.

"Hi, daddy!" Zola smiles up at him.

"There's my princess." He coos as he strokes her hair. "Did you sleep good?"

"Ya! I dreamed bout ice cream and sprinkles!" She explains.

"Sounds interesting." Derek laughs. "We went out for pizza and ice cream last night." He turns to explain to Carolyn.

"Oh my, must have been fabulous if you dreamed about it." Carolyn says.

"It was, nana!" Zola nods. "Daddy, I showed nana my dresses. She says they are so pretty."

"They are, sweet girl." Derek smiles.

"Nana, can we please, please see the surprise. Please?" Bailey tugs on her sleeve.

Carolyn looks between the two kids giving her pleading eyes. "Well, I guess just a peek. Lexie can look for mama." She reaches towards the baby. Derek hands her to Carolyn and watches as they walk up to the boxes on the counter. He stands up to get a closer look, unintentionally blocking the view from his bedroom to the kitchen.

"Hey, you." Comes his wife's sexy voice a few minutes later. He smiles as he feels Meredith wrap her arms around him from behind.

"Mm, hello." He coos, rubbing her arms as he looks behind him to see her.

"You were so amazing last night, Der." Meredith coos in not quite a whisper. "I slept so good." He's about to respond when he hears his name coming towards him.

"Derek." Carolyn says and both Derek and Meredith stop short. He can feel Meredith tense and he knows she's worried about the same thing as him.

"Yes, ma?" He manages after he catches his breath.

"The kids want to show you the surprise, especially now since Meredith is awake. Hello, dear." Carolyn says with a smile. Meredith attempts to smile back, awkwardly.

"Okay, we'll be right there." Derek replies.

"Derek?!" Meredith squeaks once he turns to her and Carolyn is back in the kitchen. Her eyes wide in shock.

"It's okay, Mer. It's okay." Derek says, not quite sure who he is reassuring.

"Your mother heard me commenting on… Well… On…" She struggles to get the words out. Derek smirks at her rambles as he hugs her close.

"Meredith." He says as he rubs her back. "Shh, shh, Mer." He kisses her head. "I'm sure my mom knows we do…that." He tries, grimacing at his words.

"I know, but she doesn't need to hear about it." She mumbles from his chest.

"Maybe she didn't."

"She was three steps away, Derek."

"If she says anything, we can just say the kids were throwing a fit going to bed and I got them all to sleep."

"Seriously?"

"It may work." Derek smirks as he leans down to kiss her.

"Mama, stop kissing daddy, we want our surprise! Come here!" Comes Zola's voice.

Meredith blushes furiously. "Coming, Zo." She begins walking but Derek pulls her back.

"You definitely came last night." Derek murmurs in her ear. Meredith looks up at him in shock and giggles, smacking him in the stomach as she leans up and holds his ear against her mouth.

"Hmm, for that you're not coming for a while, Der." Meredith teases, nipping at his ear, leaving him shocked as she heads to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Meredith. I just thought I'd bring a little treat for breakfast. Hope you don't mind."

"Of course not. Thank you." She says as she hugs and kisses the kids before looking at the pink and white boxes.

"Donuts, mama!" Bailey points.

"Bagels, too!" Zola giggles.

"Oh, my!" Meredith beams as she sees everything.

"We can eat now, nana?" Zola asks.

"Of course!" Carolyn says as she takes Zola's face in her hands. "But first, I need to say, I love you!" She plays while covering her in kisses. She says the same to Bailey and Lexie before they calm enough to get their food. Bailey chooses a powdered sugar donut and a bagel and hurries into his seat. Zola follows with her strawberry frosted donut and bagel. They both swing their legs happily as they eat.

"Thanks, mom." Meredith says as she eats her bagel.

"My pleasure dears. Also, if you don't mind, may I spend some time with you? Owen and Amy are at work and I want to see you all before you leave."

"Of course you can." Meredith says immediately. It still makes Derek's heart soar when she says things like this.

"Thank you. Let me know if I can help with anything." Carolyn smiles, enjoying her breakfast.

"Okay." Derek nods. Once they finish their breakfast, Derek and Meredith begin prepping their packing for their trip.

"Why don't you two pack yourselves while I bake some treats for you to take with the kids?" Carolyn asks. Derek and Meredith share a look and shrug.

"Sounds good, thanks mom." Derek says. Carolyn smiles and hurries to grab Lexie and tell Zola and Bailey. Meredith leans up to Derek, against his chest.

"I love your mom, Der." She giggles.

"Hmm, oh yeah?" Derek wraps his arms around her waist, kissing her nose. "Does that mean you take back what you said about…?" He says saucily.

"Oh, Derek." Meredith shakes her head and laughs. "I don't think I would have made it very long."

"Oh, you can, especially when I go so slow." Derek coos, murmuring into her ear.

"Derek! We need to pack." She whines, pushing him gently. Derek laughs as he pulls away. He heads to the closet to get suitcases, leaving Meredith hot and bothered.

Meredith shivers at the intense need her husband gives her. She decides to channel that into her packing. Meredith selects Derek's favorite panties and bras of hers as well as shorts. She laughs as she packs her shirts with a low cut in the front. They pack Lexie's clothes along with her costumes. "Meredith." Derek murmurs as he holds one of Lexie's princess jammies. He looks down and smiles as he strokes the fabric.

"Yes, Der?"

"This is our first trip with Lexie." He smiles as Meredith comes to a realization.

"This is. I hope she's okay on the plane." She goes and sits next to him.

"You're gonna be okay too, Mer." Derek tucks some hair behind her ear. Meredith nods, grateful that Derek knows her. Despite having ridden on planes, she still gets nervous. She looks up into Derek's bright blue eyes. He grins at her and slowly leans into her, placing his hand behind her head and kissing her forehead and then her lips tenderly.

"Hmm, we can't join the mile high club this time." Meredith pouts.

Derek chuckles, kissing her hard which makes her giggle. "Well, we still plan on going to mom's for Christmas, right?"

"Mhm." Meredith mumbles as she holds his chin and kisses him.

"Well, Owen and Amy will be with us. They can watch em on the plane." Derek cups her cheeks as he looks deep into her eyes.

Meredith can't help but giggle with a huge grin on her face. "I love you so much." Is all she can think of saying before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing.

"I love you, too, Mer." He says as he pulls her close. Their make out session continues until they hear their door squeak open.

"Mama! Daddy!" Guess what we're makin and they're almost done." Zola says eagerly.

Meredith and Derek jump up, sighing at their fun being cut short. "What's that, princess?' Derek says pulling her into his lap.

"Come see!" Zola says. She pulls them both into the kitchen where Carolyn is dipping something in chocolate.

"Mama, daddy, it's Mickey ears Rice Krispie treats!" Bailey points.

"We made pumpkin cookies for Cinderella and the grey stuff!" Zola bounces and claps her hands.

"Oh! Just like the song." Meredith giggles.

"Yes, I thought that would be good for today. I'm going to make some other muffins for you to take along." Carolyn smiles.

"Thanks, ma." Derek kisses her head before lifting Bailey into his arms.

"I'm so excited!" Bailey hugs Derek.

"Me too, buddy. We're gonna have so much fun."

"Did you finish packing, dears?"

"Mostly, we want the kids to pick their toys for the plane and the room." Meredith adds.

"Oh! We can do that!" Zola bounces and Bailey wiggles to follow. The adults watch, amused as they come back minutes later each with a bag filled as well as their arms.

"Oh, guys!" Meredith giggles. "We can't bring all those."

"Aww, mama!" They whine.

"Mama's right, you can bring two animals and three smaller toys or sets of play figures." Derek nods.

"Coloring books are good too." Meredith adds.

"It's so hard!" Zola pouts as she and Bailey walk back.

"I remember that excitement, you were the same way, Derek." Carolyn laughs. "Do they have autograph books?"

"No? We met the characters last year but no autographs." Derek mentions.

"Well, when you get to the park, get each of them one. You used to love getting them signed."

"Oh! I forgot about those."

"Well, we have them saved somewhere." Carolyn nods. "I'll search when I get home."

"I have to see those." Meredith giggles. "You used to run and as, for autographs, Derek?" Meredith giggles as she runs her hands in his hair.

"Yes, I was a kid." He defends, nudging her shoulder.

"Hey, it's cute. I can totally see you doing that." Meredith laughs. She looks at Derek with a warm smirk as she pictures a little Derek in a Prince Charming costume running up to different characters.

"Oh, Meredith, it was definitely cute. He made a list of who he needed to see each time we went." Carolyn laughs. Meredith sits back as Carolyn tells more stories until the kids come running out. This time, their bags much lighter. The rest of the day is spent packing Zola and Bailey and other traveling essentials. Bailey and Zola are beyond excited as they try their treats and for dessert, they have "the grey stuff." Just like Beauty and the Beast. It takes them all a bit longer to fall asleep, but eventually they are snug asleep in their Cinderella, Ariel and Lion King jammies, anxiously awaiting Disney.

MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD

"Disney! Disney! Disney! Mama, daddy!" Zola bursts in the next morning, leaping onto the bed.

Bailey is right behind her. "It's time, it's time!" He squeals, copying his sister and jumping up and down.

"Wake up!" Zola shakes Meredith's shoulders.

"I'm up." Moans Meredith as she rubs her eyes.

"Good morning my little Princess and Prince." Derek says sleepily as he sits up and wraps his arms around a tired but beaming Meredith. She lays her head on his shoulder as Bailey pounces into her arms.

"I think you guys are excited." Meredith giggles as she hugs him.

"Yeah, mama!" Bailey nods.

"Okay, then. Let's get up and get breakfast and dressed." Derek coos as he lifts Zola into the air. After a few minutes of cuddles and after capturing Meredith's lips in for a kiss, they head into the kitchen where they see Carolyn fixing breakfast. Since she insisted on taking them to the airport, Derek insisted that she spend the night as she was already staying there for the trip.

"You're just in time!" Carolyn smiles as the kids clamor into their seats.

"Ohh! Pancakes!" Bailey giggles as he sees it the chocolate chip pancakes in front of him.

"Thanks, nana!" Zola smiles, taking her fork. Derek and Meredith beam as they watch. Derek wrapping his arms around Meredith from behind. He kisses her neck and feels her lean back into his arms before he roams his hands on her side.

"Derek." She moans. "Your mom is here." Meredith whispers carefully.

"Don't worry about me, dears. I love seeing my children so in love." Carolyn smiles at them.

Meredith turns beet red as Derek begins talking. "Sorry, ma, can't resist." He places another kiss on Meredith's cheek.

"Come get your breakfast." Carolyn laughs, gesturing to the food. They eat loads of pancakes together and even Lexie tries a plain one when she wakes until they are stuffed. Once they are done, Derek hurries off into the bedroom, quick.

"Where's daddy going?" Zola asks and Meredith shrugs in response.

He comes back a few minutes later carrying a bag. "Okay, Mer, I know you may not like this, but I saw them and I had to get." Derek looks at her sheepishly. Meredith gives him a skeptical look as she reaches into the bag. She pulls out a white t-shirt that says I'm his Cinderella . "I figured we could wear them on the plane while Lexie wears her shirt." Derek explains as she pulls out a shirt that says I'm her Prince Charming and two shirts and a button that says I'm their happily ever after. "Lexie gets the button and I have buttons for Zo and Bails to put on at the park." He rambles.

Meredith sees him looking hesitant and beams at his cute ramble. She leans up and cups his cheeks, kissing him. "Oh, Derek." She coos as she pulls away. "I love them."

"You do?"

"I do." Giggles Meredith.

"Not too cheesy?"

"Totally cheesy, Derek. But that's one of the many things I love about you."

"Oh!" Derek smiles again before she kisses again. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Meredith brushes his hair away from his eyes. "Now let's go get dressed." She melts from his smile as the kids shout with joy in the background. They get everyone dressed and everything into the car and are ready for their 2:00 flight.

"Smile, Lex!" Derek calls as he snaps pictures of all three kids on the couch before they leave. Meredith sitting next to them, laughing as Bailey and Lexie make faces at each other.

Suddenly, Meredith feels her phone buzz. She looks at it for a moment and gets a confused look on her face. Derek watches in concern as she gets up and walks away. "That's so weird." She says as she sits back down a few minutes later.

"What?" Derek asks.

"That was Alex. He just texted me saying that Cristina texted him about Izzie and how she was feeling."

"What?" Derek asks, his eyebrows raised.

"He said when he reminded her about Iz, Cristina just said just kidding and called him evil spawn again." Meredith looks at him, scared.

"Derek, Meredith we should get going." Carolyn calls. The kids squeal with delight as they run to the door. Derek pulls Meredith into a hug and kisses her cheek. Before he can say anything though, Bailey had raced back and began pulling him to the door.
