DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GREY'S ANATOMY, I wish I did.
Izzie: So, two weeks!
Meredith: Yeah.. (She seems distracted. She is staring out into space.)
Izzie: Are you okay?
Meredith: Honestly?
Izzie: Of course.
Meredith: I am freaking out.
Izzie: Why? Everything will be fine. He's your McDreamy.
Meredith: I know. But--what if it changes everything. Look at what happened with John and I...
Izzie: That was different.
Meredith: Am I rushing? It feels like I'm rushing... (She covers her face with her hands. Addison walks up.)
Addison: Is she okay?
Izzie: She's freaking out. She's getting nervous. About the wedding.
Addison: I was too.
Meredith: Really?
Addison: Yes. It's a big step. In your case, it is the right step. You and Derek, you were made for each other. (Her pager goes off.) I have to go. It will be fine. (She pats her on the back and walks away. The other interns walk up and sit down at the table with her.)
Meredith: Did you guys get your gowns fitted yet? Did Jenny call?
Cristina: The wedding planner? She's a real pain in the ass.
Meredith: Yes-- a very expensive one. Just do what she says.
Cristina: Yes, I did last week.
Izzie: I went, so did Callie.
Meredith: I hope Addison did.
Cristina: Are you kidding? She was probably the first.
Izzie: So about the trip. When are we supposed to get our tickets and book our hotels?
Meredith: It's been taken care of.
Izzie: It has? (George looks relieved.)
Meredith: Everything is ready. We're interns. Poor ones. Did you think I expected you all to fork over the money to fly around the world to my wedding? Everything is ready. You just need to show up.
Alex: I can do that. Why am I going again? (Izzie smacks him.)
Izzie: Because.
Alex: Maybe I can meet some hot Italian woman.
Izzie: You're an ass.
Alex: I know. (He smiles.)
Meredith: Well, I need to get back to work.
Izzie: See you later.
Meredith heads to look for Derek. He stayed at the hospital last night. She sees him leaning against the wall, looking at a chart. She stops dead in her tracks. She takes it all in. She is so lucky, anyone would be grateful to be in her position. To have a man that loved her as much as he does. After a while he sees her, and flashes his trademark smile. She walks over.
Meredith: Hey.
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: I missed you.
Derek: I missed you too.
Meredith: We should be able to be apart for more than a night.
Derek: We should, but I don't want to, do you?
Meredith: No.
Derek: You look nervous. Are you okay?
Meredith: I'm fine.
Derek: It's the wedding, isn't it? We should have eloped.
Meredith: I would have never been able to face your mother again.
Derek: Me either. (He chuckles.)
Meredith: So, I was going to stop by the property after work.
Derek: No you weren't.
Meredith: Yes, I was.
Derek: I stopped yesterday. Everything is perfect.
Meredith: I want to see it.
Derek: It's a surprise. You aren't going to see it until we get back from Italy.
Meredith: But--
Derek: No. Promise me.
Meredith: Fine--but this isn't right.
Derek: Okay. I need to get to my patient. See you tonight?
Meredith: Sure. Maybe I'll cook...
Derek: After the big dinner you pulled off...I don't consider that a threat!
-----------------
Meredith was still feeling the stress of the wedding as she drove home. She couldn't imagine doing herself. It would have been a huge disaster. She could feel the throbbing in her lower back. Any time she was stressed, it pounded. The house was quiet, as usual. Derek wasn't going to be home for awhile. She didn't feel like cooking. She wasn't even hungry. With all the stress lately, she hadn't been eating like normal. She decided to throw her bathing suit on and climb in the hot tub. The hot water quickly soothed her aching back. She closed her eyes and finally relaxed.
Derek walked into the quiet house. She hadn't cooked any dinner, and he was starving. He called out for Meredith several times. She didn't answer. He ran upstairs to their bedroom, and didn't see her. Finally he looked out the window and saw her in the hot tub. She looked relaxed. It wasn't a bad idea, he thought. He threw on his suit and went outside, climbing in with her.
Meredith: (Her eyes open.) Ahh! You scared the crap out of me!
Derek: I didn't mean to. (He goes over and leans with her.)
Meredith: I thought I should use this hot tub one last time. It won't be long before we don't have it anymore.
Derek: Maybe we should have one at our new house.
Meredith: We barely use this one.
Derek: True, very true.
Meredith: So how was your day?
Derek: Good.
Meredith: Good. It won't change, will it?
Derek: What?
Meredith: Us. Will we lose our passion? Will we be dull?
Derek: Us, dull? Never!
Meredith: Everyone says everything changes when you get married.
Derek: With us, it will just get better.
Meredith: Promise?
Derek: I promise. (He starts kissing her neck.)
Meredith: I swear...
Derek: What? You don't expect me to keep my hands off of you when you look like that, do you? (He covers his mouth with hers, and pulls her bathing suit top off.)
Meredith: We should break this in before we leave.
Derek: That's all I'm saying. (She straddles him, and he begins to kiss her chest.)
------------------------
Two days. Just two days. My life will change forever. Derek will be all mine. Meredith thought. She and Derek are waiting for the cab to show up. They were all meeting each other at the airport. It was amazing. All of her friends were going to be there. She wanted to elope, but the closer it got, the more she knew she needed and wanted them all to be there. The ride to the airport went quickly. She was so excited when she saw her friends smiling faces. She knew this was the right decision. There was no question about it. They all boarded the plane, for the long flight. After a few hours Meredith opened her eyes.
Derek: Come on...
Meredith: What?
Derek: I'm going to make you a member.
Meredith: Of what?
Derek: The mile-high club.
Meredith: How do you know I'm not already? (She raised her eyebrows.)
Derek: Well, if that's the case, I will renew your membership. (He has a small look of jealousy on his face. He grins, gets up and walks to the bathroom. She waits a few minutes and follows.) I didn't think you we're going to show up.
Meredith: I always show up...So, are you going to initiate me to the club, or not?
Derek: So you aren't a member? (He smiles.)
Meredith: John was a germ-a-phob. He would have never done this. (She grabs the back of his head and pulls his into a deep kiss. He pushes her against the door and pulls up her shirt. Someone knocks on the door.) Shit! (She whispers.)
Alex: Are you almost done in there! I have to pee! (He whimpers annoyingly.)
Meredith: Uh, no. Go away.
Alex: Give it up. We know what you're doing in there. (He laughs.)
Meredith: He has totally dampened the mood.
Derek: Not for me. You're a screamer, he will go away.
Meredith: I am not!
Derek: That would explain why the night we were in the hot tub, the neighbors came out and asked if everything was okay. You're a screamer. I like the screaming, I'm all for the screaming, more screaming, I say! (She pushes him against the wall. She starts unbuttoning his pants, as he unbuttons hers.) Oh God, Mer. I love you. (She wraps her legs around him and he turns, pushing her against the wall.)
Meredith: I love you too. (She moans as he thrusts into her.)
Alex: Okay, I'm leaving. (He walks away, and plops down next to George.) They are totally doing it in the bathroom.
George: I don't want to hear that!
Alex: Well, I wouldn't use that bathroom if I were you.
George: Dear, God. (He covers his ears.) Please make it stop!
Alex: Grow up Bambi! (The chief walks by.) Where you going, Chief.
Richard: To the restroom.
Alex: I would wait a while if I were you. Someone has been in there a long time!
Richard: Thanks for the heads-up. (He sits back down. Meredith and Derek take their seats.)
Meredith: That was the best initiation ever!
Derek: It was for me too...so, do you want to talk, or cuddle? (He laughs.)
Meredith: (She smacks him.) Nope, I thought I'd sleep! (He laughs again.)

Okay, I am going to work on the wedding. Hopefully it will be up today. You guys have high standards. I hope I can do it...
