(The two women returned that evening from their day of shopping…Derek had been called in to the hospital and returned early evening to find the two women excitedly looking through their purchases for the baby. He snuggled up next to Meredith on the couch watching how sweetly she pulled out all of the baby items…chatting happily with his mother…looking happier than she had ever been. They finished showing him their purchases…Anna picked up the bags and began heading up to the baby's room with them…)
Anna: Oh…we picked up dinner, so we'll be eating shortly dear. (Thankfully Anna had headed upstairs and missed the look on her son's face.)
Derek: You PICKED up dinner? I thought we were having dinner at the trailer?
Meredith: (wrinkling up her nose) Well, she insisted…and I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Derek: Ooooh…you'd rather torture me? (his face nearly touching hers…pretending at first to be mad…but being so close to her he soon forgot that she had ruined their plans…nearly forgot that his mother was upstairs as he started to kiss her…she laid back on the couch, him on top of her…she had missed him all week, so the kissing intensified…she nearly forgot about their house guest as his hands softly stroked her thigh…Meredith heard Anna's footsteps on the stairs and shoved him off of her. He fell back onto the couch with a frustrated sigh…Meredith stood and hurried to the kitchen to set the table for dinner. They ate…sat outside for a while talking…Derek kept dropping hints that he was ready to turn in for the evening…hoping Meredith would join him…but his mother kept reeling her back in with baby talk, and family gossip. He finally gave up and headed upstairs…ALONE…again. He must have dozed off because he woke to his alarm going off…her side of the bed was empty…he jumped up…hoping maybe to join her in the shower…NOPE, she had already showered and was downstairs having breakfast…with his MOTHER. He tried not to pout as he joined them…they finished and headed off to work. He was grumpy on the ride to work…was grumpy with the staff…Meredith, Cristina, and Alex were at the nurse's station as he stomped by on the way to his office.)
Cristina: What'd you do now? He's been an ass all week.
Meredith: I haven't done anything….that's the problem…his mother's staying with us, which hasn't exactly been great for our sex life…ya know.
Alex: Well he reamed me out yesterday…so give the man some already would ya?
(She finished her morning rounds and scrubbed in for surgery with Dr. Bailey. She headed to his office afterwards to see if he was free for lunch. She walked in and found him talking on the phone…she turned to leave, but as she reached the door she had a better idea for how to spend her lunch break…she turned the lock on the door…kept her eyes on him, smirking at him as she closed the blinds one by one as he attempted to concentrate on his phone conversation. He was trying desperately to end the phone call, but Mercy West's chief of surgery tended to ramble…Meredith didn't mind, she pulled his chair back, crawling into his lap, she began to kiss his neck and unbutton his shirt while he was talking.)
Derek: Uh, Jim…I've got an emergency here…I'll have to call you back. (He slammed the phone down…his hands on her ass he lifted her up to sit on his desk as he stood in front of her stripping off his shirt and pants. His mouth finding hers with an intensity that let her know how much he had missed her this week. His mouth moved down her neck…his fingers fumbling with the tie on her scrubs…finally untying her pants, he pulled her down from the desk, letting her pants fall to the floor…he pulled her shirt over her head and lifted her, carrying her over to the couch. She smiled up at him as he laid her down on the couch…he moved on top of her, pausing for a moment to look into her eyes…their faces almost touching…he sweetly took her face in his hands and pulled her mouth to meet his. She couldn't wait another minute, and slid down his boxers, pulling him on top of her…needing to feel him inside her. As she took all of him in…a sigh of relief escaped him…he paused for a minute until he needed more…needed to feel more of her, he began to thrust…gently at first, then more urgently…his fingers grasping at the thin lace covering her breasts…his mouth moving past the lace to taste the skin underneath. She pushed him up to sit on the couch and moved onto his lap…his hands on her hips…guiding them down as she continued…they stared into each others eyes as she continued to rock in his lap…intertwining his fingers in her long, soft hair he pulled her to him…his mouth moving down her neck and chest. He heard a tiny moan as her body began to quiver…he pulled her mouth down to his and finished as well. She collapsed onto his bare chest, he slid his arms around her, kissing the top of her head…neither wanting to move.)
Meredith: I should get back to work.
Derek: If you move…you're fired. (she giggled as his arms squeezed her tighter. Of course his pager went off…so with a final kiss he released her…both dressing quickly…as she headed to the door he grabbed her arm…pulling her back to him for a quick kiss before letting her head back to work.)
(She ran to the cafeteria for a quick bite to eat…as she was looking around for a table she spotted Dr. Bailey sitting alone eating. She and Dr. Bailey hadn't spoken about her pregnancy since Derek's mom spilled the secret…she knew Dr. Bailey didn't appreciate finding the information out secondhand. Meredith knew she needed to discuss it with her personally…she owed her that. She sat down at her table…quietly eating her sandwich, trying to work up the nerve to bring up the subject. She must have been staring at Bailey without realizing it.)
Bailey: What are YOU looking at?
Meredith: What? Uh, nothing.
Bailey: Well, you are staring at me…did you need something? Spit it out.
Meredith: I just…you just…seemed a little upset when you heard I was pregnant…and I just…I wanted to let you know that this will not affect my work…I have everything under control…and I…
Bailey: Shut up.
Meredith: What?
Bailey: You ARE rambling on like a fool and I want you to shut up. Do you not remember not so long ago that I pushed a tiny little person out of my va jay jay? Don't you think I would have understood if you'd bothered to tell me?
Meredith: I was going to…
Bailey: Right…kind of like you were going to tell me that you were sleeping with your boss…MY boss. I put up with you fools every day…fix your mistakes…listen to you whine…and I do it because for some unknown reason I care about you. I'm your boss…and I'm hard on you, but it doesn't mean that I don't care about you…it doesn't mean I can't be happy for you when you find out you're having a baby. (under her breath as she walks away) Even if I don't think the world needs another damn Shepherd running around. (Meredith smiled at the nazi…glad that she was softening a bit. She finished her sandwhich and rushed back to work. At the end of the shift George and Cristina convinced her to join them at Joe's. She didn't want to…she couldn't drink obviously…but Derek was still in surgery, so she decided to be a good sport. Sitting down at the bar)
Meredith: Hey Joe.
Joe: Hey…how's my favorite mother-to-be.
Meredith: Just fine…I'll have…
Joe: Water…I know…I have to say tequila sales are WAY down this month.
Meredith: Sorry.
(She stood to head to the ladies room when a good looking man walked up…shamelessly hitting on her. Derek had walked in as well…she didn't see him, and he watched with a smirk at the man shamelessly flirting with his wife.)
Man: Can I buy you a drink?
Meredith: I don't think so…I'm (he interrupted)
Man: Married? I know, I saw the rock…it's no big deal…so am I.
Meredith: Are you also pregnant? (he looked down at her abdomen…looking horrified he rushed across the room to hit on someone else. She turned to Cristina and George)
Meredith: I have officially been rejected for a one night stand…I have to say I'm a little offended.
Derek: (walked up behind her) I have to say I'm a little offended that you used the pregnancy to get rid of the guy and not the "happily married" line.
Meredith: (surprised to see her husband) HEY! (she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close and kissing him)
Derek: I have to say...I find your new curves sexy.
Meredith: Good...because you're stuck with me.
