DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GREY'S ANATOMY, I wish I did.

Meredith awoke in Derek's arms. She felt so comfortable. She would give anything to stay there all day. She laid there watching him. It all worked out. She never thought it would. She never had to choose. She had chosen, but she never had to break anyone's heart. Derek began to stir.

Derek: What are you doing?

Meredith: Watching you.

Derek: I am good looking, I can see why you are.

Meredith: (Laughs.) Yes you are. So why didn't you stay at the house?

Derek: I didn't feel right, you weren't there.

Meredith: My house is your house. I want you there. Besides, someone needs to keep my bed warm.

Derek: (Rolls over tickling her.) So that's all I'm good for?

Meredith: Well, yeah. (She says matter of fact.)

Derek: Let's stay in bed all day.

Meredith: OK. (She rolls over kissing him.) As entertaining as you are, I do have to work. You have to save lives.

Derek: Ah, yes. Saving lives is a good thing.

Meredith: Yes- it is. I need to take a shower.

Derek: I'm coming with you.

Meredith: Seriously?

Derek: Yes.

Meredith: Will we both fit?

Derek: Of course.

Meredith: (Raises her eyebrows.) You sound like you know from experience?

Derek: No, no experience in this shower. Any shower, for that matter. You think I bring girls home to my trailer?

Meredith: The trailer is quite a bit of incentive. I would definitely go home with a guy that lives in a trailer. Especially this one, that you can tow away. (Sarcastically.)

Derek: Hey, there is nothing wrong with this trailer! (He chases her as she runs to the shower.)

Meredith: Of course not. (They quickly strip down and climb into the shower.) It's a little tight.

Derek: We'll just have to get closer.

Meredith: I like how you think.

Meredith and Derek begin kissing each other. She can't keep her hands off of him. She hates it. Why did he have to do this to her? She wraps her legs around him and he pushes her up against the wall.

Meredith: You better make this quick. We're going to be late. (Out of breath.)

Derek: I can be quick.

Meredith: I bet you can.

They are all over the shower, which is very small. They manage to make it work. They both climax together.

Meredith: That was quick.

Derek: Too quick? (Meredith laughs.) Hey! (Derek pushes Meredith up against the wall. It isn't the wall, they both come crashing out of the door.)

Meredith: I told you the shower was too small.

Derek: I guess you were right.

They both get up and get dressed. They drive separately to work. Derek has two surgeries scheduled and Isn't sure what time he will be home.

Cristina: Don't we look happy?

Meredith: I am.

Alex: You got laid. Geez, you don't waste anytime. Didn't John just kick it? (Meredith frowns and drops her head. Izzie walks over and smacks Alex is the head hard.) What the hell was that for?

Cristina: You are a dumb ass.

Alex: I'm just saying...(Izzie smacks him again.) OK, fine. It's cool. I'm a man whore, I have no room to talk.

Meredith: So now I'm a whore?

Izzie: Mer- you are not a whore.

Meredith: (Smiles.) I'm a whore. I'm a hot sweaty shower sex having whore. How do you like that? I like it. It was good. Mind blowingly good. How was your night, Evil Spawn? (Alex frowns.) That's what I thought.

Bailey: OK, suck-ups. Get off your asses and get to work. Yang-Me, O'Malley-Burke, Thompson-Shepherd, Karev-She-Sloan, and Stevens you have Sloan. Get moving, let's go!

Cristina: Burke better not have anything good! I'm going into Cardio-Thorasic, I don't know why she wastes my skills.

Meredith: Live with it.

Cristina: There's my person. You were too nice today.

Meredith meets up with Derek in the patient's room.

Derek: Dr. Thompson. (He smiles.)

Meredith: Dr. Shepherd. (She had to look away, she was going to laugh.)

Derek: Today we are going to be removing a tumor in Mrs. Johnson's frontal lobe.

Meredith: Sounds good. (She gives him the 'dirty' look.)

Derek: Yes, it does. (He smiles acknowledging the look. They stand there staring at each-other for a long time.)

Mrs. Johnson: Hello, hello?

Derek: Ah, yes Mrs. Johnson?

Mrs. Johnson: You two were somewhere else. You are so in love. It's cute.

Meredith: Uh.

Mrs. Johnson: You can't fool me. You are an adorable couple.

Derek: Well, thank you.

Mrs. Johnson: How long will this surgery take?

Derek: About two hours. Don't worry, you will be fine!

Mrs. Johnson: I'm not worried.

Derek: Good. Mer- Dr. Thompson, please prep our patient.

Meredith: Right away, Sir. (He laughs.)

Meredith and Derek were the only ones in the scrub room. She didn't say anything, she just glanced over at him.

Derek: You are pathetic!

Meredith: What?

Derek: I see you checking me out!

Meredith: (Laughs.) Seriously?

Derek: Seriously. You want me.

Meredith: I want to take you right now, in front of everyone.

Derek: I know you do. (She punches him in the arm.) Was that a tiny ineffectual fist I felt?

Meredith: Shut up! (They walk into the OR.)

Derek: It's a beautiful day to save lives. Let's have some fun. (He gives Meredith a seductive look.)

Meredith: (Talking low.) I would love to have some fun. (He smiles. They continue to make looks at each other. The sexual tension was very strong.)

Derek: In the OR? Sounds like a plan. I would never look at the operating table the same.

Meredith: Hmmm.

The surgery went along as planned. Meredith and Derek meet up in the scrub room.

Derek: I can't have you scrub in on my next case. (He says with a serious look on his face.)

Meredith: Are you kidding?

Derek: No.

Meredith: What the hell? (Getting mad.)

Derek: I can't concentrate.

Meredith: You're serious.

Derek: Yes, I am. I'm going to screw up. This has never happened to me.

Meredith: Fine, I just won't give you sex anymore. (She walks out.)

Derek: (Yells down the hallway.) You're kidding, right? Dr. Thompson? (She keeps walking, laughing loudly.)

Cristina, Alex and Izzie are all sitting in the cafeteria eating their lunch. Meredith grabs a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and plops down with a huff.

Alex: What has your panties in a bunch?

Meredith: Nothing!

Cristina: It's something.

Izzie: It's something to do with McDreamy.

Meredith: Is not!

Izzie: So is.

Alex: What? No on-call room hookup?

Meredith: It's just, and I-

Cristina: Did you get in a fight?

Meredith: Yes- No. No fight. I'm mad, he's fine. Whatever. Fine, he won't let me scrub in on his next case.

Alex: What the hell did you do?

Meredith: Had shower sex.

Cristina: What? (Scrunches her nose?)

Meredith: He won't let me scrub in because I apparently distract him. He said he can't concentrate.

Izzie: That's actually pretty responsible of him. It was probably heard to admit that.

Meredith: Yeah, well no sex for him.

Alex: Dude, he''s going to love that.

Meredith: (Smiles.) Yeah he will.

The rest of the day went quickly. Derek had an emergency surgery came in. He called Meredith and said he wouldn't be home tonight. Meredith had no idea what to do with herself. She took a long, hot bath and thought about everything that had happened in the past few months. She would have never guessed everything would end up this way. She finally laid down in her bed. She tossed and turned, she was having a horrible time sleeping without Derek. She got up and grabbed his t-shirt. It smelled like him.

It was three in the morning when Derek got done with everything. He took a shower and found an on-call room. He laid there for an hour, and could not fall asleep. He groaned as he pulled himself out of bed. He had to be back to the hospital in four hours. Any sane person would have just stayed. He couldn't. He got in his car and drove to the house. When he got into Meredith's room he just smiled at the sight. She was asleep with his shirt under her head. He climbed into bed, kissed her on the head, and closed his eyes.

I probably won't be able to update until Wednesday. I just love Meredith and Derek! I hope Derek doesn't take Ellis' words to heart. (On the show.) I would have to hurt her if what she said changes anything!
