PART SEVEN (STEAMY)

The annoying sound of the alarm clock woke me up, meaning that it was time to go to the hospital. I groaned and rolled over to turn it off, but Derek was able to beat me. He wrapped his arms around me and moved my naked body closer to his. Our bare chests met, and I smiled when my husband kissed me.

"Good morning!" Derek said and continued to press small kissed on my neck. As much as I wanted to enjoy what he was doing to me, I couldn't. We had to be in the hospital in two hours, and we couldn't miss the ferry or we would be late and then Owen will kill us, since both of us have a surgery this morning.

"You have to stop or we will be late." I tried to get out of his embrace by pulling at his chest, but I was unsuccessful. Derek was determined to not let me go.

"We won't be late."

"We will if you won't stop. As much as – Ah!" I shouted when Derek took my left nipple in his mouth and bite into it. "Derek – "

"I will be fast."

"You have fifteen minutes." I said when he moved from my nipple and moved on top of me. Our eyes locked, and without breaking the eyes contact he slid his member in me. I moaned when he started to move, sliding in and out of me. "Derek…"

"Meredith…"

My hands went to his hair and pulled his head closer to mine, so I could kiss him. His movements became faster, and I almost came when he pinched my clit. His kisses silenced my moans, as I dug my nails into his back earning a hiss from him. It didn't take long for me to come. With Derek's skilled hands, his hot mouth and everything he owns he's able to make me come fast and hard. Every time I see stars, and thank the god that Derek is my husband and that I met him years ago. I love him with all my heart, not only because of fantastic sex, but that is a big bonus.

With a few more trusts Derek came too, spilling his seed in me. I am not afraid of getting pregnant, and I want to have children soon, but first we need to help Derek and cure his condition. Conceiving naturally isn't easy and most of the time it takes months, and with my past it won't happen in a month or two. We will try before and after his surgery and then one day we will have our child. Derek moved away from on top of me and rested next to me. Both of us were breathing fast, our chests moving up and down and our bodies were covered in sweat.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him, as I moved to the side and looked at his face.

"Good." He smiled and turned his head to me. "And how are you feeling?"

"Amazing." I kissed Derek on the lips and looked at the time. It was six twenty, and we had forty minutes until we had to leave.

"Plenty of time."

"You always say that."

"Are we always late?" He looked at me with raised eyebrows. We have never been late in our lives, always on time. I had lost this fight even before it had started. "Meredith."

"No."

"Then don't worry." Derek gave me one of his best smiles and got out of the bed. All I saw was his bare backside and round ass, as he walked to the master bathroom. He stopped in the doorway and turned around to look at me. "Aren't you coming?"

"One moment, please." When Derek was gone, I got out and made the bed and then followed my husband to the bathroom.

DEREK

"How are you, son?" I was glad to hear Tony's voice. I haven't talked to him for some time, and there were some things that I needed to discuss with him. After losing my father, it was hard to live without a father figure, but when I met Meredith and months later was introduced to her parent things changed. It was strange to hear Tony call me son, because my father was dead and no one beside my mother called me that, but hearing him say these words made me feel loved and happy that he had accepted our relationship.

"As usual, nothing has changed."

"What about your health?" I groaned and rolled my eyes. I didn't need to guess how he found out since there is only one person that knows about my heart and it's my wife. I wasn't angry at her, because Ellis and Tony are our family, but I was annoyed that Meredith didn't tell me that she had told them. If my family will hear about it… it's better if they're not. "Don't be angry at my daughter. She wasn't the one who told me, my wife did. You know how she is."

"I know, and I hope that she hasn't told my family about it." I sat down on the couch in my office and put away the chart in my hands. I had to visit my patients after this call, and then I would go and watch my wife as she performs a brain surgery. It's been months since we have been in the same OR, and even if I couldn't be with her, I could always watch.

"She won't. We know what happens when you tell something to them. They are like flies." He laughed at his own joke that made me smile. "But now without jokes. How are you feeling?"

I took a deep breath and finally let out a secret that I was keeping for the past few days. After talking with Teddy and McQueen over the video call I got some news that weren't as pleasant as I wanted. "Meredith and Ellis don't know the whole truth. There are some things that I haven't told them… The thing is that they can't do another surgery to threat my condition since it's not the only problem I have."

"Derek…"

"I have a heart failure too." I sighed. "My condition isn't critical yet, but with my job and heart valve disease it worsens every day. They have prescribed me new medicine, and I have scheduled a meeting with McQueen on next Wednesday in New York."

I have been hiding my condition for the past four days from Meredith. It doesn't hurt or make my life harder, but with the stress and long working hours there is a chance that in a few weeks or months I will need a heart transplant if my condition worsens. That is the reasons why I am going to meet McQueen in New York next week and then we will make a plan for my recovery. I don't want to worry Meredith before I get more information and decide what to do next, and that's why I haven't told her about it. I know that I have to tell her, and I will tell her when the time is right.

"You need to tell her. This is serious." Tony said. I know that he won't tell a word to anyone, and because of that I told him this. It is hard to keep things like this to myself, but I have to, because I want to see Meredith happy.

"I will when I know what will happen next."

"I can't make you tell Meredith about it, but I am not the kind of man who won't keep his word. I promised you years ago that I won't reveal your secrets and I will keep my word."

"Thank you, Tony!"

"You don't have to thank me, son… But this isn't the real reason why you called me."

"I wanted to ask an advice in fish flying…"
