(The wedding was the next day…Alex and Izzy went to register for a marriage license…Meredith and Derek were watching the baby in their room and Christina and Burke had taken George sight-seeing. As Derek bounced the baby in front of the glass doors looking out over the balcony Meredith came to join them…smiling at the thought of Derek with their own child some day. As she joined them he wrapped his free arm around her and the three looked out at the amazing view…Christina came barging into their room…Burke and George following her in…she walked over and grabbed the baby from Derek.)

Christina: We're switching kids!

Meredith: What?

Christina: I'll take this baby…and you take that one (pointing to George). At least if she's bad I can sell her on the black market…they don't take the goofy looking whiney ones (again nodding at George).

George: You're just mad because the waitress thought I was with Burke…

Christina: You're actually proud of the fact that the waitress thought you were gay? (looking at Meredith and Derek) And he wonders why he can't get laid.

George: Oh, I'll get laid…by the end of this trip in fact…guaranteed.

Christina: OK Syph boy…care to put your money where your mouth is? If you get laid I'll do your enema's for a month…and if you don't…(Cristina laughing hysterically)…

Meredith: What?

George: It can be anything because I am sooo getting me some this week…

Cristina: You have to make out with Burke for 5 seconds…

Burke: Whoa, whoa, whoa…uh, I don't think so Cristina!

Cristina: See, even Burke knows you aint getting none this week Bambi. (George looked at Burke who cleverly changed the subject, putting the heat back on Cristina…)

Burke: I'll tell you what Cristina…I have faith in O'Malley…not only do I think he will meet someone before the week is out, but I think he'll meet someone before we leave for home on Thursday, so he'll take your bet…or half of it anyway…if he loses…which he won't…we'll share a liplock…and if he wins…(Cristina laughing hysterically at the thought of Burke and George making out…her smile soon vanishes) if he wins...we get married…here in Paris…on Thursday. (long gulp from Cristina…as Meredith, Derek and George look stunned…all staring at Cristina for her answer…)

Cristina: What? Burke seriously…

Burke: Seriously…you're so sure he's going to lose, so will you take the bet or not? (he extended his hand as if to shake on it…she hesitated…then shook)

Cristina: Ok…but no hookers…you can't pay for s e x…and you can't sleep with some fat, desperate, ugly girl. I have final say if she is sexworthy or not.

George: Fine.

Cristina: Ok then. (she heads off to their room)

Burke: Ok then. (he starts to walk off, but turns to George) What are you waiting on O'Malley…go find you a lady because we are not losing this bet…no offense...

George: Right sir…I mean, of course not sir.

Burke: O'Malley?

George: Yes, sir?

Burke: What are you still doing here?

George: (bolting out the door) Oh…right.

(Alex and Izzy came back and got the baby…Meredith and Derek were sitting on the balcony having some wine and enjoying the view…church bells nearby chimed…it was midnight…Meredith jumped out of her seat, turning to face him)

Meredith: It's the 18th!

Derek: What?

Meredith: Remember…I circled the 18th in my day-planner…you asked me what was going on the 18th…

Derek: …and you wouldn't tell me…so what do you have planned?

Meredith: Well…I am…(she hesitated…grinning at him)…ovulating…today…the 18th…ovulating in Paris…it's perfect, right? (a smile came across his face as he realized what she was saying…he stood to join her, taking her hands in his and looking down into her eyes…which were smiling up at him)

Derek: Are you saying…

Meredith: I want to have your baby…if you still want to…(he smiled…picked her up into his arms and swung her around…kissing her…putting her back down…and taking her face into his hands…)

Derek: Are you sure? I mean, you're still so busy with work, and…

Meredith: (she kissed him softly…and pulled back to look into his eyes) I'm sure. (the words were barely out of her mouth before he picked her up…carrying her inside…he sat her on the edge of the bed and she watched as he slowly began to remove his clothes…unbuttoning his shirt slowly, he slid it off and let it drop onto the floor. He unbuckled his belt, sliding if off…next his pants…letting them drop to the floor. Still in his boxers, he pulled her to her feet…standing in front of him…her mouth moving over his bare chest as he reached around to her back and slowly slid down the zipper on her little black dress…letting it drape off of her shoulders and fall to the floor. Her mouth traveled up his chest to nuzzle his neck as he unfastened her bra…she felt him exhale into her hair as he peeled the bra from her body and stood back for a moment…taking all of her in with his eyes. His hands slid down her bare back…sliding her panties down to the floor…he was kneeling in front of her as she stepped out of the panties…he softly kissed her knee…up her thigh…over her stomach…his mouth moving across her breasts…stopping briefly to nuzzle her neck before hungrily searching her mouth with his. She sat down on the bed…laid back…and reached her hand out to him…he smiled…took her hand in his…as she pulled him down on top of her. He kissed her…his hands exploring every inch of her soft skin…he wanted to be inside her…like he had been so many times, but as he slowly entered…it was almost surreal…in an instant they had decided to try to make a baby…with so little discussion…he hesitated…only briefly…but looking down at the beautiful face smiling up at him…his heart more full of love for her than he ever realized possible…he knew he wanted nothing more than for her to be the mother of his child…their child…a baby…he smiled at the thought, and pushed further inside her…with urgency…anxious to start the next chapter of their life together. )

(They made love…twice that night and once in the morning…just to be sure…when they finished in the morning she fell…out of breath…onto his bare chest…)

Meredith: So…do you think it worked…I could actually be pregnant…(she smiled up at him)

Derek: Well, if the number of times we have practiced over the years has anything to do with it…you should definitely be pregnant on the first try Mrs. Shepherd. In their bathrobes they headed out to the balcony for a cup of coffee before the hectic wedding day began. He kissed her forehead…threw on some clothes…grabbed his suit and tie for the ceremony…and headed off to find Alex.)
