After a long day at work at Grace. Meredith, Derek, Crisitna, Izzie, and George were glad to be at Meredith's house. As Izzie, opened the fridge she screamed. "George! What happened to my blueberries? and chocolate chips!" As she walked out into the living room she saw the two bowls half-empty and rolled her eyes, "I was going to make a berry-choco pancake cake tomorrow!" Everyone exchanged odd looks to the word pancake cake but Izzie's only reply was "It's good." George looked like he had guilt written all over his face, "I'll go and get some," he replied to his girlfriend. "Ok... but DON'T FORGET TAMPONS!" Izzie walked over and kissed George and then Derek said, "Meredith, I'll go too." A smile came to the corners of Meredith's mouth. "Alright." She walked over to Derek and said a bit too loudly, "Get more condoms too. that dont't glow in the dark." In the background Cristina, George, and Izzie started to laugh. "I'll... haha make...hahahahahaha sure." said George inbetween bouts of laughter. "Pick up food too!" called Cristina as they left for the door.
:x:
After the guys left Meredith went into the kitchen and got three spoons and three pints of chocolate chip ice cream. After a bit of laughing and talking, Cristina brought up a random topic, kids. Even though it was tough to picture her as a motherly person she was going to have a baby. But she didn't want to talk about her. Meredith was her target. "So Mer what will happen if you and McDreamy concieve that wonder child?" Izzy laughed at the comment as Meredtih was surprisingly a bit interested, "Wonder child? Where does that come from?" It was apparently Izzie's turn to talk. "Can you imagine the kids they will have? Unbelieveably good-looking wonder surgeons!" At this point Cristina and Izzie were having too much fun with this conversation. "Where does the word wonder come from?" was all Meredith could say now. Izzie and Cristina had completely ignored Meredith's question and continued with their conversation. Then out of nowhere Izzie says, "Judging by the screams that kept me up all night, I can expect this child soon." Cristina's eyes widened, "Screams huh?" Meredith took no delay in remembering. She was- hell is...just so in love and it felt so good. She couldn't help it. "..." Meredith opened her mouth yet no words came out. "So it must be true!" exclaimed Cristina. Luckily the door opened and George and Derek walked in with groceries and food.
:x:
Later up in the bathroom, Derek prepares the bathtub just for him and Meredith. They were still sore from the previous night and he decided a romantic soak in the bathtub won't kill them. They could talk and just be together without making love. Meredith walked in, stripped and slid into the bathtub on top of Derek. "ahhhh. that feels SO good. But not as good as last night, Derek." They turned to sit upright facing each other. "So what did you talk about while me and George were out?" Derek asked while massaging Meredith's tired shoulders. A small laugh came from Meredith. "You wouldn't believe it."
"Where do you want me to start?" she asked Derek. "Anywhere" was his soft reply. "Well Cristina asked me, 'What if you and McDreamy do concieve that wonder child?' and Izzie said, 'Can you imagine the kids those two will have, unbelieveably good-looking, wonder surgeons.' and then... they were talking about last night and what they heard." Derek chuckled at it, "Wonder child eh?" He made me smile. Suddenly Meredith found a more serious expression on Derek's face. "Mer, would you tell me if you got pregant? I don't want to be surprised like Burke..." Meredith thought hard about it for a moment, "Of course. You would be the first to know as it should be." "Mer, if that does happen, you know what we have to do right?" A silence came over the room. "Either get married and/or move in together. I care about you too much to let you hanging like that. But I'm worried that you will be losing the precious time at the begining of your career. But to be honest... I've always wanted a child..." he trailed off and a truly sincere look came over his face. "We'll discuss it when time comes." A smile came over his face and he replied, "Let's go to sleep... I'm tired." Meredith and Derek toweled off and retreated to bed.
:x:
Meredith had recently awoken from a dream. It was an odd dream for her to have but nevertheless is was something that she had to tell Derek. She lay awake thinking about it.
It was night and she found herself watching her and Derek sleeping. She seemed older and had a ring on her finger as did Derek. Suddenly, a little girl would enter the room. She was about 3 maybe 4 years old and had a light, soft brown hair color with natural curls at the end, she had Derek's eyes yet Meredith's face. She wasn't extremely tall but a bit short, her eyes were slightly narrow but not almond. This girl was also carrying a small stuffed animal and then spoke, "Mommy... Daddy." Then there was this large cry coming and Meredith awoken to hear this little girl and George and Izzie trying to calm down a baby. She shook up Derek and they turned to the girl, "Yes, sweetheart." was Derek's reply. "I'm scared of the dark and the baby is waking me up." Meredith somehow answered, "Climb in the middle..." The little girl climbed into the bed and settled into the center in the space between Derek and Meredith. Derek and Meredith were facing the girl and slid their arms around her resulting in the huggingof all three. As the girl fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, Derek softly whispered, "This is our daughter all right." A soft laugh came from Meredith. As both fell asleep also.
The thoughts that ran through Meredith's head calmed her, calmed her enough to fall back asleep.
:x:
"Mer, are you awake?" Derek's soft voice had awakened her. Meredith turned and found no girl snuggled in between them. They lay face to face. "yes" was all Meredith could say... she was preparing her would about her dream to Derek. She told him everything in detail. He chuckled, "Looks like Izzie and Cristina got to you. Good thing you didn't dream of our daughter being a surgeon. I would just recommend don't tell them anything." "Derek, there is NO way that I would tell them about this. I only told you about this since... you were the father... and we were married in the dream." He let out another soft laugh. "Derek..." "huh" his eyes were sincere... "I like.. Jaqueline." "So do I... now lets go try some berry-choco pancake cake... or whatever that is."
:x:
Meredith and Derek walked down the stairs and had whatever Izzie made... thinking about what it would be like if there was a child in their life.
