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!
Cristina walked to the nurses station to page an certain intern who had really pissed her off today when she heard some nurses gossiping.
"I heard she can't remember the last six years" one said
"Yea well you know McDreamy dumped her and is going back to Addison"
"Really?"
"Yea saw them hugging and kissing two days ago"
"She must've had too much alcohol and it caused a blackout for her"
"poor girl"
Cristina couldn't take it anymore
"God can't you guys find someone else to talk about. I mean after 7 years you think you guys would stop but you don't. I understand that you are all jealous of her and who her husband is"
One nurse laughed at this and said ex, Cristina glared at her
"No McDreamy did not dump her, he hugged and kissed Addison because he had just told her that him and Meredith are expecting a child in 7 months. Just for the record, Meredith doesn't have a blackout from too much alcohol. The other night they were having celebration sex and she fell off the bed."
They all looked embarrassed "Yea that's right, go find yourselves a life"
Cristina walked away with a grin on her face, feeling quite proud of herself.
Meredith was up at the nursery looking at the babies when someone came up next to her.
"Thinking of what yours is going to look like?"
"Yea"
"Derek told me what happened. How are you?" Addison asked
"Considering the circumstances I'm doing fine"
"I must've scared you the other day huh?"
Meredith smiled "Yea, I couldn't understand why you were being so nice to be and then you mentioned something about dinner. I was seriously confused"
"If you don't want us to come over tomorrow, we'll understand"
"No, no it'll be good for me"
Meredith's pager went off and she saw that it was Derek. She looked up at Addison "I got to take this"
"Ok, I'll see you around"
Meredith walked over to the nurses station to see Derek leaning against it.
"You paged?" she said to him
"Yes I did, You are done for today!"
"Really? What about you?"
"I have a few things I need to finish before I can go home"
"Can't you get some interns to do it?"
"Ah I wish but these things require my signature"
"Ok"
"I'll see you at home"
He leaned over and kissed her softly on the mouth and she was a little shocked. When he pulled away, he realized what he had just done.
"I'm sorry, it's kinda a habit" he was a bit embarrassed
"Like we'd do it for the rest of lives type of habit?"
He smiled "Yea"
"Try not to take too long"
"Ok"
Derek walked to his office and Meredith walked to the car. While she was in the car driving room she finally started to think about things. Part of her was surprised how easily she had fallen back into things with Derek and part wasn't surprised at all. Despite all that she remembered going through with him she loved him so much.
Meredith got back home within 10 minutes and decided to cook dinner for Derek, well really just picking up the phone and ordering take-out.
When Derek walked into the door it smelt wonderful. He saw Meredith in the kitchen with an apron around her waist dancing while putting the food on a plate. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist.
"Chinese?"
"Yep"
"I thought you hated Chinese food"
"I usually do but I had a craving for it"
"Oh no"
Meredith looked concerned "Oh no what?"
"I'm looking not forward to the 2 am cravings of ice cream and pickles"
Meredith laughed "I'll try not to be too hard on you"
"Oh thanks that's really reassuring"
For the next hour they ate and laughed about things until Meredith got tired.
"Why don't you go to bed and I'll clean up for you"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, now go we have a fun day ahead of us"
"Oh yea, dinner with Addison and Mark" she said
"Yep, are you sure your up to it?"
"I'll be fine, try not to take too long"
He smiled "I won't"
The next day Meredith was busy setting the table when she heard the doorbell ring. She was scared shitless. She wasn't too worried about Addison but more about Mark. The only thing she knew or remembered about Mark was that he was a plastic surgeon and that he and Addison had an affair. That was hardly a promising start.
Meredith looked at the two people entering the house. Mark looked so familiar, which was a good thing. They walked toward her and they both seemed unsure of what they should do.
"Why don't we go into the living room" Derek suggested
"That sounds like a great idea" Meredith said
While the four of them were sitting in the living room, Derek's arm resting comfortably around Meredith's shoulders and Addison's hand on Mark's leg. The scene was certainly comical for Meredith thinking about where they had all been 6 years ago. Suddenly when Addison and Mark were talking about the plans for the house that they were building, a memory came back to Meredith.
Meredith looked up at Mark and Derek. She turned to Derek.
"You punched Mark in the face the first time I met him"
