Chapter 10: Soulmates

Flashback- 1993

Over the next two weeks, Meredith and Derek spend every waking moment together; they are both aware that their time is coming to an end. Derek can feel Meredith clinging to him, and he is still trying to convince her that they could work it out. Meredith walks out of the room before Derek can convince her. He also notices that she has moments when she pulls away from him. Derek just tries not to think that this time next week, they will be leaving each other, and he has no idea how he is supposed to go on without her. Derek was aware that Meredith would cut off all contact with him and that he would never see her again. Derek stood in the doorway of the bathroom watching Meredith sleeping; she looks so beautiful with her honey blonde hair fanned out over the pillow. Derek climbs back into bed, pulling Meredith into his arms, and buries his nose in her hair, and drifts off to sleep.

Meredith woke up, still wrapped up in Derek's arms, she climbed out of bed, and walked over to the window. Looking out at the view, she could hear someone running across the hallway, and the bedroom door swing open and in runs a 5-year-old boy.

"Mommy, daddy" he yells, jumping on the bed.

"Who is that little monster", she hears Derek says, Meredith turns around and watches has father and son play, she can't believe that she had almost lost this, then Derek looked at her, flashed her his trademark mcdreamy smile, before saying.

"Why did you leave me, Meredith? Why did you leave us? Don't you love me anymore?"

Meredith wakes up startled, she could feel Derek's arms around her, remembering the dream, she feels the tears in the corner of her eyes, threatening to spill. It was the same dream she had every night, since that night three weeks before, when she made Derek make that promise. She quickly untangled herself from Derek's embrace, goes into the bathroom, closing the bathroom door and locking it. Meredith slides down the door, sobs racking her body, as she could already feel the lost, the physical pain of being separated from the love of her life. In her mind, she had no choice, she loved him enough to let him go, let him be a proper father to his baby, even if that meant she would pine for him for the rest of her life. She could feel the panic attack washing over her, her breath hitch in her throat, a wave of nausea, and felt like she was dying inside, she managed to calm herself down, standing up and walking over to the sink, splashing cold water on her face, she looks in the mirror, and whispers.

"I can do this; I can do this…" feeling her heart already breaking. When she felt a little calmer, she walked out of the bathroom, and climbed back into bed. Instantly Derek's arm wrapped around her.

"You alright, Mer!"

"I'm fine" Derek shakes his head, not believing her but he doesn't push it. He leans down and captures her lips with his own. He rolls on top of her, running his hand through her hair. Mer had felt his erection pressed against her core, and automatically raises her hips off the bed, causing the tip of his penis, to enter her. Derek pushes into her until he is inside her fully, a sense of peace and contentment, overcoming them both As Derek begins to pump into her, both of them forgetting that they are leaving each other, they feel connected, not just physically but in that moment, they know they are soul mates, and that is never going to change.

Derek takes her nipple, starts to suck, giving the same attention to the other one. Derek once again captures Meredith lips with his own, his tongue, motioning his hard cock, has he continues to pump.

"Derek..." Meredith says, lifting her hips further off the bed, so he goes deeper inside of her.

"Oh...god...Meredith"

"Derek, please"

"Fuck!" Meredith screams has she starts to tremble. Derek hands, roaming over her body. He grabs a handful of hair, gently yanking it back to nip and kiss her neck, as they both finally came together.

"DERRRRRRRRRRREK"

"MERRRRRRREDITH" Derek collapses on top of Meredith, kissing her until they both come down from their high. Derek slips out of her has his cock goes flaccid, he rolls off her, and rather have her in his arms.

"I love you, Der." Mer says groggily as she falls asleep in his arms.

"I love you too, baby." Derek kisses her on the head, as he fell asleep beside her.
