(The next evening…Meredith upstairs finishing packing…Derek hollering from the bottom of the stairs…)
Derek: MEREDITH…CAB'S HERE! (She came rushing out of the bedroom, rolling her suitcase behind her…halfway down she lost her balance and the suitcase went crashing down the stairs with a thud…Derek came running from the kitchen…looking at the suitcase…then at his wife…)
Derek: Well…that's one way to do it. (he picked up the suitcase and the two headed for the airport. The others were there…Izzy was so distracted with the baby that she just followed the pack…not paying attention to what flight they were on or the destination. They had boarded when the captain's announcement finally gave away the surprise…she was thrilled…well mostly thrilled…a little apprehensive about flying with Lexzie, but Derek and Meredith took her into their row behind Alex, Izzy and George, and Izzy soon forgot about her apprehension. Meredith held the baby…feeding her a bottle during takeoff to make her swallow to protect her eardrums…but the bottle soon put her to sleep. Meredith reclined...closed her eyes, and held the sleeping infant. Derek watched the two sleep…kissing Meredith's temple, and resting his head on hers as she snuggled against his shoulder.
(Several hours have gone by…the baby is still with Derek and Meredith…awake…but fairly content…Izzy and Alex snuggled together in their seats…)
Izzy: (smiling at him) Are you nervous?
Alex: About the possibility of our daughter making fools of us on this flight…or the wedding?
Izzy: The wedding…well…both actually.
Alex: Well…if the baby acts up I plan to pretend that she's Derek's…and as for marrying you…I am excited…anxious…I mean you made me wait long enough…but I'm not nervous at all. You and Lex have changed my life…I can't wait to make it official…permanent…after tomorrow you are permanently stuck with me…so YOU are the one that should be nervous. (evil smirk as he kisses her)
Izzy: Oh, I'm not nervous…I plan to add to the vows that THIS Alex…the one that has been around since the baby was born…he's the one I'm agreeing to marry…and if the old Alex comes back…at any point in our marriage, then the marriage is null and void…got it?
Alex: (smiling at her) The old Alex is long gone…you'll never see him again…don't get me wrong he was dmn good looking…but a total ss…
Izzy: I think the new Alex is dmn good looking too…(the two kiss…George leans into the aisle to glare at Derek and Meredith in the row behind them…)
Derek: What?
George: (looking desperate) I am going to vomit.
Meredith: What? Like motion sickness…from the flight?
George: More like lovesickness…switch me seats.
Meredith: NO…I'm taking care of the baby.
George: I'll take my chances with the baby…Dr. Shepherd…please?
Derek: Alright…fine. (he reluctantly switches…George settles in next to Meredith and Lexzie…making goo goo faces at at Lexzie.)
George: Such a cutsie wootsie face…who's my pretty girl? (Derek leans back into the aisle to stare at George…who looks embarrassed) Sorry, sir.
Derek: It's fine…just making sure you're talking to the baby…not my wife.
George: Oh…definitely the baby. (Meredith fakes being offended) Not that your wife isn't a pretty girl…because she is…pretty…very pretty…ok, I'll shut up now. (Derek smiled, and turned back around in his seat. )
(It was musical chairs the rest of the flight…George and Izzy switched…the baby went back up with Alex and Izzy and Derek came back to join Meredith. Meredith had gone to the restroom…mostly just to stretch her legs…as she opened the door to the bathroom Derek pushed his way inside…closing the door behind him…in the confined space their bodies were pressed up against one another….)
Meredith: What are you doing? We are headed to the most romantic place on Earth…we are not having sex in this tiny little bathroom.
Derek: I know that…I don't want to have sex with you.
Meredith: Oh.
Derek: Just feel you up a little…(his mouth moving toward hers…she pulled back…looking at him…as if she was going to reject him, but as he pulled back, looking offended at the rejection she laughed, and pulled his face down to hers. She kissed him, playfully at first, both laughing as they bumped against each other in the tiny space. But as always, after a minute or two of physical contact between the couple, and they soon couldn't keep their hands off of each other. She was leaned against the tiny sink, his hands lifting her bottom up to pull her closer. Her fingers moving through his hair…her soft touch making him crazy…his mouth moved from her lips…down her neck…and playfully tried to nuzzle beneath the collar of her shirt.)
Meredith: Ok…ok…we have to stop.
Derek: Noooo…(his fingers working on the top button of her blouse…he undoes the top two buttons as she protests, but as he pulls her shirt open, seeing the black lacy bra underneath…his mouth is softly kissing between her breasts and she loses her train of thought.)
Meredith: Seriously…we uh…should stop.
Derek: (barely a whisper) I can't…(she believed him…he was insatiable…she knew he wouldn't be able to stop and return to his seat…she smiled…shaking her head at his never ending s e x drive…she unbuttoned his pants…slowly sliding down the zipper and taking him into her hands…she softly caressed him…sliding her fingers over him…he closed his eyes, and leaned his head back against the wall in the tiny bathroom. She stopped just for a second…he noticed and opened his eyes to look at her.)
Meredith: After this you'll behave? (he nodded, so she continued…with a sigh of relief he finished…satisfied…temporarily anyway.
Derek: What about you?
Meredith: Although sex in a public restroom is tempting…I'll hold out for Paris. (he laughed and kissed her). If we open this door and someone is waiting outside…
Derek: Then there will be a puddle on the floor because we have been in here forever…(they laughed…exited the restroom…most of the passengers were asleep, so they discreetly returned to their seats…ignoring the knowing smirk from Alex as they passed by his aisle.)
