Chapter 37:
February 23, 2007- Virginia Beach, Virginia

Meredith and Derek woke up the next morning to the sunlight shinning through the windows. They were cuddled close and hadn't left the room all night. Derek slowly got out of bed and began changing for the day. Meredith watched him, knowing he didn't know that she was even awake. Once he'd fully changed, he turned back around and looked at her, "You know, it's not nice to watch people change without them knowing."

"Then maybe you shouldn't change in front of me," Meredith said with a smile, "I tend to think clothes are a little overrated anyways."

Derek began to walk over to her, "I thought we couldn't have sex at my parent's house?"

"It's Sunday right?" Meredith asked, receiving a nod from Derek, "And it's ten o'clock," Meredith said receiving another nod from Derek, "I think it's very probable that they are at church and will be for some time."

Derek smiled, "I think you might be right," he said as he sat down on the bed and began to crawl over towards Meredith.

"But we are at your parents house. In the bed you grew up in. That's a little dirty," she said making him stop moving.

He was almost hovering over her as his face fell, a little disappointed, but then a smile grew upon it again, "I don't think you are going to be able to stop me now."

"Oh really?" she asked as Derek looked down at her.

"Really," he said confidently as he lowered himself on top of her and began to kiss her.

"This is so wrong," she said breathlessly as Derek began kissing her neck.

"Yet, we're doing it," he chuckled as he brought his mouth back to hers.

Hours later they both stumbled down stairs, now fully dressed. Derek grabbed them both coffee, making sure Meredith's was decaf. She took a sip of it and looked at Derek, "This is completely pointless. I drink coffee for the caffeine."

"Well now, you don't get caffeine," he said noticing the oddly quiet atmosphere of the house.

"Then how am I supposed to be a doctor?" Meredith asked stealing a sip of his coffee.

"Let's focus on you in motherhood right now," Derek said, "Why is it so quiet in here?"

"Maybe because we're the only one's home," Meredith pointed out.

Derek looked at his watch, it was after noon, "Church is usually over by now. Where are they?" Derek stood up and walked over to the window in the dinning room, looking out over the lawn. "Mer, come here," he called out to the kitchen.

Meredith reluctantly got up and found him about to walk outside, "Where are you going?"

"They're outside," he said opening the door. She followed behind him, closing the door with one hand and wrapping the other one with Derek's.

"Nice to see you two up," Anna said as she saw them walk outside.

"What are you guys doing out here? Doesn't brunch usually follow church?" Derek asked.

"Yes, but the house was unusually loud today," Anna said with a smile that quickly turned Meredith's face red.

"Sorry about that," Derek said quietly.

"It's okay. We all understand," Anna said as she watched her three youngest kids play soccer around the yard.

Meredith was still hiding behind Derek, trying to suppress her laugh and hide her blushing as he turned around to whisper in her ear, "We're going out."

"What?"

"We're leaving. Well not going home, but we're leaving this house. We haven't stepped foot outside since we got here," Derek said. He looked over at Anna, "Mind if we leave for a little while?"

"Go ahead. It's your vacation," Anna said.
