Summary: Meredith wakes up one morning to find out that she is living the life she always wanted. Set after the Code Black incident.
New Chapter!
Derek woke early the next morning to the sound of Meredith throwing up in the bathroom. He got up and did the same thing he had for the past week. He went into the bathroom, knelt next to her, massaged her back and held her hair out of her face.
After a few minutes she stopped and flushed the toilet. "I guess your pretty used to this by now" Meredith said to Derek
"Yea I guess that you could say that I am" he helped her up "Come on why don't you get cleaned up and meet me downstairs. I'll cook you some breakfast"
"You cook?"
"Anything but grilled cheese of course"
She laughed "Oh of course"
"Take your time we don't have to be at the hospital for another 2 hours"
"Ok"
Derek gave her a kiss on her forehead and went downstairsand started making breakfast. Meredith sat on the floor of the bathroom a bit more just think about how truly amazing their life together was. They probably had fights like any normal couple but they loved each other so much, it was unbelievable. She cleaned herself up and went downstairs to find Derek. It did take awhile for her to find the kitchen but she finally did.
She sat down at the bar and watched him move around the kitchen with as much style as in the operating room. When he spotted her, he threw the towel over his shoulder and smiled at her.
"So I was thinking, since you really can't remember much and I know your not going to want to stay home" She smiled "Then you can just stick with me today, you know kinda of like my intern until you can get your memory back"
"That sounds fine"
"Are you sure?" he asked
"I still feel like an intern, so it be like just spending the whole day with you"
He gave her a grin and put the finishing touches on their breakfast
"So what has my McDreamy prepared for me this morning?" Meredith asked
"Eggs, bacon, and pancakes" He said while putting the plates in front of her
"This smells amazing" She took a bite "Wow I'm impressed, you can actually cook"
"Haha"
They ate mostly in silence for the next half hour until Meredith had finished and decided to go and take a shower.
"I'll get your clothes for you" he told her
"Thanks"
She went upstairs into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She looked at herself in the mirror and you really couldn't tell that 6 years had past. She didn't look any older but her hair was a bit shorter than before. She pealed off her clothes and stepped into the blazing hot shower. Meredith always loved hot showers. She always believed that if they were hot enough, they would burn away all of her problems.
She finished up, found some clothes that Derek had slipped into the bathroom and blow dried her hair then put it up in a loose bun. She didn't worry about any makeup and headed downstairs to hear Derek singing to The Clash.
"Darling you have got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go
If you say that you are mine
I will stay until the end of time"
She laughed and continued walking down the stairs. She stood at the bottom of the stairs for several minutes just watching him. He turned around and when he saw her, his face became bright red.
"How long have you been there?" he asked
"Long enough to know that you can't hold a note" He came closer to her
"Is that so?"
"Yes"
He took her by surprise and picked her up. He brought her into the living room and played Rock the Casaba by The Clash at top volume. He put her down but his hands settled on her tiny waist and sang to her.
Throughout the entire song Meredith just laughed. He was absolutely horrible but she could listen to that voice for hours, even days.
When the song finished he asked her "How good was I?"
"Horrible" he pretended to look offended "but I loved it"
He smiled at her but then saw the time. "We better get going"
She sighed "Ok"
"Everything is going to be ok, no one has to know what happened to you" he said to her
"Thank you"
They went outside, got to the car and drove to the hospital.
"So Bailey still works there?" Meredith asked
"Yea, she still thinks that she's my boss"
Meredith laughed "So what's Richard doing now that he doesn't work at the hospital anymore?"
"Just retired. He comes by sometimes to help me with the board."
"Never could get him away for too long"
"Nope. I'm trying to think about what else you need to know" he paused "Oh well I don't think you would remember her but Callie Torresis kinda friends with all of us."
"Isn't she in orthopedic?"
"Yea but her an George dated for awhile"
"Her and George?" The thought of those two together made her shiver, it wasn't a pretty sight
"Yea they only dated for about 4 months until he broke it off with her"
"So she's friends with us?"
"Yea well her and George broke up on good terms and you guys became pretty close"
"That's a bit surprising"
"Yea, I was pretty shocked"
Before they knew it, Derek was pulling up into the hospital parking lot. They both got out of the car and proceeded to the hospital. He lead her to the attending locker room, gave her the locker number and combo to get her scrubs and left.
She felt very weird as she began to put on her navy blue scrubs. It felt foreign to her. She had just finished when she heard Cristina coming in.
"Damn interns, they think just because they graduated from the top of their class that they're the best"
"Weren't you the same way?" Meredith asked
Cristina jumped, she was expecting anyone, especially not Meredith, to be in there.
"I didn't think you would be here today"
"Do you honestly think I would've stayed at home today and not be here"
"Good point. So what are you going to do if you can't remember how to do surgeries?"
"Well I know how to do them I just can't remember doing them all by myself"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Be Derek's intern today. He said just simple things like going to talk to patients with him and scrubbing in on all of his surgeries, he is hoping it might trigger something"
"Seriously you must love that"
"Yea but I still feel like what we're doing is wrong. The last time I remember talking to him he was married and now I'm married to him."
Later that day George was informing his patients family on howhis surgery had gone when he saw Meredith down the hall at the nurses station looking through a chart.
"Excuse me" he told the family and rushed over to Meredith
"Hey, you feeling ok? Izzie said that you can't remember the last six years"
"Yea well" but before she could continue George interrupted her
"I hope that you weren't drinking"
"No George I'm pregnant, I don't drink anymore" She said, slightly offended
"What!" he yelled. When he saw people turning around, he lowered his voice "When? How? Who?"
Meredith smiled "I think you know how, with Derek of course and Izzie said we found out yesterday"
"How far along are you?"
"About two months"
George smiled and gave Meredith a hug. If she had told this to him years ago he would've been filled with anger and jealousy but now he was happy for her. "Congratulations"
"Thanks"
Meredith sighed. At the moment it didn't matter if she got her memory back right away. All that matter was that she had the love and support of her family. With that she knew she could get through anything.
Wow that was my longest chapter yet! I really enjoyed this one and I hope you did too. Please keep those reviews coming!
