Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful is recognizing what you have for what it is. And maybe we're thankful for things we'll never know.

Meredith had just gotten off the phone with Cristina when Derek came into the living room.

"Who was on the phone?" he asked.

"Oh Cristina invited us to a barbeque at 4:00 tonight."

"Cristina Yang-Burke is having a barbeque?" Derek said joking.

"Actually you must refer to her as Dr. Yang-Burke and yes but I think she's just trying to help me figure things out or remember stuff."

Derek nodded, "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Fine, no morning sickness yet but I probably just cursed myself."

Derek sat down onto the couch with her and put his arms around her. She relaxed under his strong embrace.

"I love you." he said while kissing her temple.

She paused for a second, "I love too."

"IZZIE!" Alex called out for his girlfriend of almost 5 years.

Izzie came running down the stairs.

"What!"

"Cristina just called and invited us to a barbeque at their house tonight at 4:00"

Izzie raised her eyebrows, "Seriously?"

"Yep."

"Did she want us to bring anything?" she asked

"She asked if you could bake some cookies or something."

Her face broke out into a huge smile, "I'll be in the kitchen for the rest of the morning and probably until an hour before we leave, so don't bother me."

She ran off into the kitchen, "What did I get myself into, wanting to date her or even planning on proposing to her." he thought to himself.

Alex went upstairs into the guest bedroom and opened one of the dressers. He dug under some blankets to find what he was looking for - a 4K three diamond, gold band ring with the inscription - Dr. Model and Evil Spawn 4Ever. He smiled, Izzie was the perfect one for him and he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her.

Derek walked into the bedroom that he and Meredith shared. Meredith was in there looking for something to wear.

"Cristina called and she wants us to come early so that we can help set up because Burke got called in for an emergency surgery so he is going to be late." Derek said to her.

"Derek, I can't fit into my skinny jeans anymore"

Derek look at Meredith and sure enough the pants she was trying to pull up, wouldn't go past her midsection. The thing that struck him the most was her small bulge in her stomach.

"You didn't tell me that you started showing already."

"Yea," she looked down at her stomach, "I just really noticed it yesterday."

"It's incredible, you're incredible." He looked deeply into her eyes.

She looked at him and kissed him. He began to deepen it and she returned. It felt so good for her to have his lips touching her once again.

Meredith shouldn't have spent so much time trying to get her pants on because in a matter of seconds they were off once again.

Several hours later, after Derek and Meredith had their second round in bed, their phone rang.

"Hello?" Meredith answered.

"Hi sweetheart, it's daddy." Meredith didn't know what to do.

"Hi dad."

"Derek called me this morning and told me what happened. How are you feeling?"

She smiled at Derek, who was asleep on the bed. "I'm doing better, I've regained some of my memory."

"That's good and he also told me the good news."

"Yep, you're going to be a grandfather in about 6 months."

"I'm so proud of you and everything you've accomplished."

Her eyes began to get teary, "Thanks daddy, that means a lot to me."

"I love you so much sweetie."

"I love you too daddy."

"I'll talk to you soon." he said

"Ok"

She hung up the phone and smiled. She was so thrilled that she finally had a good relationship with her father, it meant the world to her. Derek began stirring next to her.

"Hey" he said

"Hey yourself." she gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"Who was on the phone?"

"Oh that was my dad."

He shot up, "How did that go?"

"It went really good actually."

"That's good."

"Come we need to get ready or else we're going to be late."

"Fine, but I want to replay what we did this afternoon tonight."

"Ok but only if you're a good boy." He kissed her, "Now get your ass out of bed."

They both arrived at the Burke residence is a matter of 30 minutes and Cristina opened the door. She smirked when she looked at the both of them.

"You guys are like rabbits."

"Excuse me?" Derek said

"Come on, it's obvious you guys had sex before you got here."

"How can you tell?"

"Meredith, you're like an open book and second you both look way too happy to come to a barbeque."

"So what can we help you with?" Meredith said, changing the subject.

Cristina rolled her eyes, "Actually can you just take the plates and stuff outside. Burke just called so he should be here soon."

Meredith, Derek, Cristina and Burke were sitting outside while they were waiting for everyone to get there.

"So some patient actually tried groping you?" Meredith asked

"Yea and I kept telling him that I was married with a child but he didn't listen. Damn morphine." Cristina said.

"Must've gotten pretty steamy in there" Derek joked.

Cristina was about to say some smart ass comment, when Meredith blurted something out.

"McSteamy."

Derek laughed, "No, you guys called me McDreamy."

"No, not you," she looked at Cristina, "You and Izzie mcnamed Mark - McSteamy."

"Actually you came up with the mcnickname but yea. We named him while he was suturing his own face."

Meredith laughed, "And you guys never came up with one for the vet that I dated."

"Seriously, he wasn't even a real doctor."

Burke interrupted them, "So you guys never came up with one for me?"

Cristina and Meredith looked at each other and began laughing, "Sorry no." Cristina said.

"I feel slightly offended." Burke said.

The two girls looked at each other, silently agreeing on a name for Burke.

"McYummy." They both said at the same time.

A/N There might have been a slight confusion in the last two chapters because the line breaker hasn't been working, so I hope this chapter is a bit more easier to read. The next chapter should make all Alex/Izzie fans very happy!

Thanks again for all of the amazing reviews, you guys just make my whole day and it gives me the mojo to write these chapters even faster!
