Hi :)

I want to say thank you to everyone, who is reading my story! I love you all and I am happy that you like it. And a big thank you to PATSY, who inspired me to continue this fanfic

I was thinking about changing my username and I already have an idea. Should I change it?

Meredith was sitting in the backseat of the detectives car and thinking how much her life had changed in the last 24 hours. Her husband was alive. Derek was alive and it wasn't just a dream. Derek was alive and is being transported from Atlanta General. But seeing him in that photo made Meredith feel pain.

He was lying in the hospital bed with a lot of different wires and tubes around him. Derek wasn't alright and she knew it, but he was alive, It was better than being dead, but still he could die. Will she survive his death for the second time?

"Luke? Can I call you like that?" Amelia said. She was sitting next to Meredith, her head lying on Meredith's shoulder.

"Only if I can call you Amelia." He answered. "Was he flirting with Amelia?" Meredith thought and looked at both of them. Amelia had locked her eyes with his through rear-view mirror. Slowly her cheeks were getting redder. She was starting to blush! In different situation Meredith would be glad, but now wasn't the right time.

"The detective," Meredith started. "In the picture Derek was lying in the hospital's bed with different tubes and wires… What is wrong with him?"

"I'm not a doctor, Mrs. Shepherd." So he was going to call Meredith by her surname. "All I know is that he has some problems with his brain and that's why he is not waking up."

Meredith took a deep breath… He has some problems with his brain... She hoped that doctors will be able to help him. She didn't want to lose him again, not now, when she had found him again.

"Mer?" Amelia whispered. "We will help him, don't worry."

Meredith didn't answer, because in her heart she knew about risks and pain if she will lose him again. She didn't want to get any hopes up, but, unfortunetelly, it was too late.

"Meredith, what's happening?" Asked Alex. He and Jo had come a few minutes ago.

"They found Derek."

"I don't understand."

"Alex," Meredith said and looked at him. "I know this sounds unrealistic, but he is alive. Derek is alive. I still can't believe it, but that man - " She pointed at Luke, who was waiting for her with Amelia. Jo stood next to her. "He says that Derek is alive. I have to go and see it by myself."

"Who is he?"

"A detective from Atlanta." She stopped in front of Jo and have her Ellis' bunny. "If she starts crying, give her this. It will calm her down."

"I know, Mer." She smiled and hugger her. "Good luck with everything."

"Call us when you know something." Alex called after her.

"I will." Meredith answered, before climbing inside Luke's car.

It was late Sunday's evening. The bar was crowded and loud, full with a lot of people. She was lucky to find a free seat at the bar. Next to her was sitting a man with a glass of scotch in his left hand. There was no ring on his fourth finger, so he wasn't married.

He had black, curly hair, dark stubble was covering his cheeks and he was wearing a red shirt. Under it she saw his wide shoulders and strong back muscles.

As if he could feel her staring, he turned his head and she saw his eyes. They were blue, like the ocean. And then he smiled. He had the most beautiful smile in all world. It was dreamy.

"McDreamy." She whispered.

The man chuckled. "Mcdreamy?"

Meredith was blushing. Why did she had to say that loud? "I'm sorry." She apoligized and turned her head to locate a barmen with her eyes. He was on the other side of the bar.

"Derek." Man next to her said. She turned back to him and saw him grinning.

"Meredith."

"Nice to meet you Meredith." He said and took a sip of his drink.

"You too, Derek." She smiled. There was something about this man that draw her to him. Maybe his hair, which she wanted to touch. Maybe that was his smile, that made her heart beat faster. Or his eyes – blue as the ocean. She wanted to get lost in them and forget about everthing.

Little did she know that Derek was feeling the same way about her. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her dark green eyes were shining, her smile was making him weak and he wanted her beautiful and slim body under his.

"So.. McDreamy?"

Meredith and Amelia were in a private waiting room at the airport. Two more hours left. Two more hours until they will see Derek. Luke has been gone for some time now. He had to do some work related things.

Meredith looked at Amelia and saw her sleeping. She was exhausted from everything – her work, her and Owen's break up and her life. She was trying so hard to put her life together but it was falling evertime when she somehow had put it together.

Suddenly her phone vibrated. She took it and saw a message from Alex.

Alex: hi, how r u?

Meredith: i've been better. two more hours

Meredith: how are kids?

Alex: sleepin'. jo went up to look, but she didn't come back. i'm feelin'scared.

Meredith smiled at his message. Alex was trying to be funny.

Alex: i hope she doesn't leave me for one of your kids

Meredith again smiled.

Alex: how's Amelia?

Meredith: zzzzz

Meredith: i wish i could sleep

Alex: too much?

Meredith: yeah, still feels impossible

Alex: everything's goin' to b alright. go and try to get some sleep before your prince comes back

Meredith: you know he's a king, right?

Alex: go and sleep, mer

Meredith put her phone back down and looked at her wedding ring. It was made from gold and had something written inside of it. She took it off and looked at engraving.

forever your mcdreamy

She smiled and put it back, before Luke came into her view.

"Hi, I have something for you." He said and gave Meredith a package. "This was with him, when he was found, and I thought that you would want it."

Meredith opened the package and took out Derek's wedding ring. It looked new and bright. Meredith needed to be sure that it's his, so she tried to find it's engraving. And she found it.

always your girl in a bar

"It's his." She quietly said and looked at Luke. "Thank you, detective."

"I'm only doing my job." He smiled. "He will be here in two hours."

Meredith nodded. "Two more hours…"
