Later when they had ordered she put her orange juice down on the table and looked him in the eye
"It's your turn"
"What?" he said confused
"It's your turn I told you about me and now it's your turn"
He took a breath"Okay what do you want to know?"
"Tell me about you and Addison"
" We met in med school I she was smart and she was beautiful and she was rich although that wasn't really important at the time anyway I finally plucked up the courage to ask her out in our second year we went out and we that was the begining we were pretty much together the whole of med school . I proposed after we graduted we got married the next year moved to the city and opened up private practices."
"We bought the brownstone and the vacation house in the hamptons. We went to charity events and benefit dinners. I bought her expensive jewllery that she picked out and would wear once or twice. We had friends who all pretended like they were the picture perfected couple and at first I kept telling myself that we wern't pretending but we were and somewhere along the way i stopped loving her. I'm not sure when it just kind of happend."
"And then I caught her with Mark. And although I was hurt and embaressed I was secretly relieved. It gave me a way out."
"So I packed as much stuff that would fit in my car and I drove out here."
" Although Addison hurt I think Mark hurt more I mean he was like my brother had been for as long as I could remember and then he slept with my wife."
He sighed and they were silent fpr a while
"Oh I have to tell you something" he said sheepishly
"What?"
" I uh called my mom to tell her about you and the babies and she uh wants to fly out here and meet you"
Meredith took a deep breath "Okay when ?"
"Two days"
" TWO DAYS?!"
" I'm sorry Mer she was pissed that I hadn't told her and she scares me when she's pissed like Bailey" he shuddered
"Seriously Derek two days?! I have two days before i have to meet your mother oh my god what am I gonna do"
"Okay Mer calm down"
" Calm down?! I cannot calm down your mother is coming here in two days! And I'm the slutty mistress who got pregnabnt and ruined you marriage"
" Okay Meredith that is not true" he said kneeling down in front of her and cupping her face in his hands
"I love you okay I want to be with you. You did not ruin my marriage my marriage was ruined long before you or even Mark we just didn't want to accept it and as for getting pregnant my mom is not going to think you did this on purpose I love you and that will be enough for my her and your giving her more grandchildren"
