Chapter 58: You Need to Find This
"Hey, I am going to go and see if mom needs any help at your house." Hannah said to Derek.
Derek immediately jumped up, trying to think of something fast, "She will be over any second, I am sure." He hoped she would be along soon because it had been a little over an hour now. She was bringing the sweet potato casserole that Derek got from his mom early in the morning in order to have something for her to bring over. He just hoped she didn't forget it and didn't burn it.
At that second, there was a knock at the door. Derek hoped it was Mark. "I will get the door."
Derek opened the door to see a grin on his best friend. Derek just rolled his eyes and said rather quietly, "I guess it was good."
"You have no idea." Mark laughed, but heard a voice in the house that made his smile quickly fade knowing... that had to be Izzie's daughter.
Derek noticed the quick change and knew it was Hannah. She and Meredith were laughing about something in the living room. He loved to hear Meredith laugh but needed to focus on Mark right now. "Mark, breathe. She is great and actually... she wants her mom to be happy. I have known them forever and Hannah is a great girl. Is Izz coming soon?"
"She is. The sweet potato casserole was about ready I believe. We almost forgot to put it in the oven. But, after... well, climax #2, she remembered somehow." Mark smirked.
"Oh god, I don't need to hear that shit." Derek groaned before hearing another roar of laughter, this time his mom and Krista joining in. He loved that Meredith also got along with his parents.
Mark took a deep breath, "I think I am ready. I just have to remember... I am your friend. I know it will be hard when Izz gets here though. I can't keep my hands off her."
"You are going to have to. I think Hannah will be okay, but you just have to breathe. Are you really ready for this?" Derek asked.
"I have to be. I mean, she has a kid... oh my god, a kid. Derek, I can't. What in the hell am I doing?" Mark started to freak out a bit.
Derek almost laughed, but knew he couldn't. He had never seen Mark like this and the fact he called him Derek told him he was really freaking out. "Mark, you will be ok. Hannah is a great kid, although she is very grown up... or thinks she is." Derek let out a small chuckle.
"Ok, I am ready. I just... Izzie just isn't the casual fling. I like her Derek... I may even be in... lo... lov... love with her." He stuttered but got it out.
Derek looked at Mark and knew he really was falling in love with her. "I know... which is why you need to do this. She is a lot like Izzie actually."
"Is she?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, come on, let's go and see." Derek said shutting the door, knowing he would almost have to push Mark in the room.
"Look who made it." Derek announced to the room.
Carolyn immediately got up to greet him, "I am so glad you are here with us for Thanksgiving."
"Thank you Mrs. Shepherd." He responded.
"Mrs. Shepherd? I thought we had agreed, I am mom. Meredith is learning more and more." Carolyn smiled at Meredith who was sitting beside Hannah.
Mark looked at Meredith as Carolyn did and then settled his eyes on the young blonde that looked very much like her mom sitting beside Meredith. His heart skipped a beat knowing this was Izzie's daughter and he wanted to make a good first impression on her. He wasn't sure what to do and was so thankful when Derek spoke up, "Mark, this is Hannah, Izzie's daughter."
Mark walked a few steps closer to her, stuck his hand out, and smiled, "Hello, it is nice to meet you, Hannah. I am Mark, a friend of Derek's."
"He is my best friend." Derek added.
"It is nice to meet you. I am Hannah." Hannah smiled at this man before her. He seemed nice and her wheels immediately started turning. She looked to Derek, "Is my mom going to be here soon?"
"Yes, I think so." Derek said carefully almost seeing the look in Hannah's eyes... she was thinking.
"Hello guys, I am finally here. This casserole took forever." She said closing the door behind her trying not to look at Mark, knowing he was there. When their eyes met, she knew she would melt.
"Hey mom. You are just in time. Derek's friend just showed up, although, I didn't hear a car drive up." Hannah smiled at her mom and then at Mark.
Mark didn't want to look at Izzie, he knew the look would be of pure... well, it was love. He loved her.
No one knew what to say and that is when Meredith spoke up quickly, "Hannah, actually your mom and Mark met some weeks ago when he was in town when we all had a game night." She wasn't sure if that was exactly what she would have said, but they couldn't act like strangers... for many reasons. Meredith saw the look in both their eyes and knew they couldn't act like total strangers.
"Oh... really?" Hannah just thought for a second. After the night at Addie's, her mother was much happier it seemed and was acting a little differently.
"Yes. Hello Mark. It is good to see you again." Izzie barely got out while walking towards where Mark was standing close to where Hannah was sitting.
Hannah watched closely at her mom and Mark... doing everything they could to not look at each other.
"Izzie, How are you doing?" Mark asked still not able to look at her directly.
"I am great actually. I hope your drive was uneventful from Denver." Izzie replied finally looking at him, letting her breath catch a little bit at the site of him. She had just seen him, but she couldn't help it.
"You live in Denver?" Hannah asked quickly, a little disappointed, but it wasn't too far away. She noticed the look in her mom's eyes and Hannah couldn't be happier.
"I do. I am a plastic surgeon there. Shep and I worked at the same hospital." Mark smiled friendly at Hannah before looking back at Izzie, "I did have a great drive up, thank you. I had a lot... going on in my head." He smiled at izzie.
Izzie immediately felt her body heating up. She couldn't believe he just said this. "In your head?" She couldn't resist.
Derek knew this was going nowhere good with Mark, Izzie, and Hannah in the mix. "Mom, do you need any help in the kitchen?"
Carolyn looked to Derek and smiled, "Yes, I could. Why don't you and Mark go down and join Michael and Darby at the barn. I am sure they are down there hanging out... staying away purposefully; they always do that on Thanksgiving." Carolyn laughed with the other ladies joining in.
"Come on Mark, apparently we are not wanted here." Derek pouted using his eyes and lip.
"You are always wanted." Carolyn just laughed as she started to move in the kitchen with Krista, Izzie, and Hannah. Meredith was sitting on the couch and still was not making any movements to get up just yet. The cast was really slowing her down in many ways... sex included, but they were finding ways.
"At least my girlfriend doesn't want me to leave, I bet." Derek looked to Meredith, walking to her sitting on the couch.
"Are you sure about that?" She smiled playfully
"WHY? You are all ganging up on me." Derek pouted a little more and started to walk off.
"Come on Shep, they are just wise. Let's go on out. I for one prefer not to be in here while all the food preparations are going on." Mark suggested.
"Actually, son, can you tell your father he probably needs to get the oil started for the turkey." Carolyn said knowing they had about an hour and half of cooking until Thanksgiving dinner. They would be frying they turkey as they did every Thanksgiving.
"I can mom." Derek smiled at her watching her walk to the kitchen while he walked over to Meredith. He leaned down and brought his lips close to hers, "You my dear, very naughty. You need to be spanked. I think, for making me question about you wanting me here." He said in a husky voice.
Meredith swallowed hard, making sure the others had filtered into the kitchen, "I always want you... here."
Derek could feel his cock beginning to stand at attention for her. He leaned his body into her so that she could feel his stiffening cock, "And I want you."
"Go... now, we will pick this conversation up tonight." Meredith brushed his lips ever so lightly, causing a moan to erupt from him.
"I have to and you should be in the kitchen." He didn't just brush her lips, but he went into them a little harder, causing small moans to slip out.
"Oh god, you two." Mark said, rolling his eyes watching them.
They both started laughing and Derek stood straight up hoping his erection wasn't bulging. He was glad he wore a sweater that hung just a little lower than that. "Let's get outside. I will help you up." Derek helped Meredith get up and get over to the kitchen, "Here is the gimp." Derek laughed.
"Derek Michael Shepherd." Carolyn said loudly looking at her son seriously.
"Oh, mom, I am just picking on her. She loves it." Derek said smiling at the love of his life who was laughing, as she sat on one of the stools at the bar to help them, but while sitting.
"I do love it." Meredith leaned into him, smiling with Derek leaning down to kiss her on the top of her head.
"Come on Shep, let's get going." Mark said wanting to get out of the room. He knew his body temperature must be a few degrees higher with Izzie in the room.
"Ok, Love you." Derek said helping Meredith off his chest.
"Love you too." Meredith whispered and looked up at him.
"You two are so disgusting." Hannah said to Meredith and Derek then turned to look at her mom, "You need to find this mom."
All of the adults in the room could all pick their mouths up off the floor because they all knew... it was possible Hannah's mom had found that...
