Chapter 4: The perfect moment to say "I love you"

Derek has been awake for three days: he was still into the hospital but he was getting better….physically, at least. He was in a horrible mood. Meredith hadn't come back to visit him since the day he woke up. He had thought things would get better, but she was clearly still mad at him. Maybe she was still seeing Finn….he couldn't stand that thought.

- Is something wrong?- he heard Addison ask him. He had barely noticed her presence.

- Everything's ok-

- Yeah, sure- she said in a sarcastic tone.

- Addison, please….-

- No, Derek, I think it's time to discuss about the fact that you're in love with Meredith-

Derek sighed – What do you want me to say? I'm sorry, I really wanted to rebuild our marriage, I wanted it, Addie….but let's face the reality….it's impossible. There's too much damage….and yes, it's true, I love Meredith….I can't help it-

- Perfect….at least you've said the truth…finally- Addison said trying to sound calm…but she was upset, Derek could see it.

- If it makes feel you better, I think it's too late….I think I lost her- he said sadly.

- And why do you think this?-

- Because I haven't seen her for three days….I assume she's mad at me and, you know, there's the vet-

Addison couldn't help but laugh

-Why are you laughing?-he asked

- You're so stupid, Derek-

- What?-

- You heard well, you're stupid. I shouldn't tell you what I'm going to say because I'm angry and hurt…but God, you're too stupid, I have to tell you: Meredith loves you, she probably loves you more than I love you. She wanted to give you her blood…she didn't care about her, she just wanted you to be fine. She had never left the hospital while you were in coma. If this isn't love I really don't know how to call it-

Derek didn't know what to say: Meredith had done all that for him and she didn't even told him. God, she was amazing…..and he loves her so much. He realized he had never told her it….he had to tell her…he wanted to.

- When you'll be better we'll started the practises for the divorce- Addison said and then was about to leave when Derek told her: -Thank you, Addie…thank you-

She smiled slightly to him and left.

- I hate the She-Shepherd, I hate her!- said out aloud Alex after he had enjoyed Meredith at her table.

- You're still in the vagina squad?- Meredith asked biting her sandwiches

- Yeah, why do you think I'm so pissed off?-

- I'm not her greatest fan too- Meredith mumbled.

Alex smiled – Yeah, I can see it. How's Shepherd? Your Shepherd I mean-

- He's better….at least I heard so-

- Why? Haven't you seen him?-

- Once, when he woke up-

- But you then you haven't seen it again…why? God, don't tell me it's because of her!- said Alex.

- No!...Maybe-

- God, Meredith, are you afraid of her?- he asked laughing.

-Don't make fun of me! Yeah, maybe I am a little. Derek is her husband, she doesn't want me to see him. What can I do?-

- If you want I can distract her while you go to him- Alex proposed.

- No, no, it's too complicated…I'm tired of complicated things-

- Oh, no, she's coming!- said Alex

- Who's coming?-

- Dr Karev, you have to check on Mrs Patterson- it was Addison.

- But it's lunch time!- he protested

- Now!-

Alex grabbed his sandwiches and left. Addison sat down in front of Meredith.

- You should go to him- Addison said

- What?-

- Derek thinks you're still with Finn and you're not going to him because of it-

- Why are you telling me this?- Meredith asked confused.

- It's over between me and Derek-

- Oh…-

- Well, I told you, now you can do anything you want- Addison said and left.

Meredith couldn't believe it: she had really said it was over? Did it mean she could be with Derek?

She looked at her sandwiches and threw it away: she wasn't hungry anymore.

Meredith had thought of what Addison had told her all the day. Finally she decided to go to Derek after her shift.

She went in his room and he didn't seem to notice her. He was reading a book and seemed pretty much concentrate. God, he was so gorgeous!

- Hi- she said.

He lifted his gaze and saw her – Meredith- he smiled….she was finally there.

- You look much better….I'm glad- she said.

- And I'm glad you're here. I've missed you-

- I'm sorry…I wanted to come, really, but…I don't know, it was so strange with Addison here-

- Addison? It was about her? So…you and Finn….-

She sat down next to him – It's over-

Derek smiled again: - I'm sorry, I can't help but be happy-

Meredith smiled as well – It's ok because I can't help but be happy because you and Addison broke up-

- How do you….she told you, right?-

Meredith nodded – So, it's really over Derek?-

- Yeah, it is. I want to be with you, Mer. I won't ruin things this time…..give me another possibility, please- he pleaded her with both his voice and his eyes.

- You know…..last week I would probably said no. But then you had the accident…God I was so afraid of losing you- she started to cry.

- Hey, hey…- he hugged her – Shh, don't cry….don't cry, Mer, I'm fine now….it's ok-

- No, it's not! You could die….you could die and let me alone….I felt like I was dieing too-

He stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head – I'm sorry I scared you- he said.

- You did…..you have to promise me you won't never do it again….you don't have to risk your life. Promise me Derek- she begged him looking into his eyes.

- I promise-

- Well….because I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I couldn't stand the idea of losing you…not again, not like that-

- Are you saying you'll give me another chance?- Derek asked hopefully.

- Yeah, I'm saying this-

- Oh, Mer…- he kissed her as long as he could.

- Wow, that was a really good kiss- said Meredith

Derek smiled and looked deeply at her – I love you-

Meredith smiled back and asked – Did I hear well?-

- You did. I wanted to tell you I love you in a very romantic place, in a very perfect moment…but I couldn't wait longer anymore. I love you…I love you so much Meredith-

She kissed him and when they pulled away she said – This is a perfect moment….and I love you too-

- You do?-

- Yeah, I really do-
