Christmas Day

Meredith kept staring down at her left ring finger. What previously had been just another finger she now kept her most prized possession on. The diamond looked beautiful in the early morning sky as it did the previous night when Derek slipped it on her finger. She was inspecting her ring when she saw an inscription on it. Meredith you are the one great love of my life. My love for you is a journey starting at forever, and ending at never. Christmas 2006 with love always Derek. Meredith cried when she read this and wrapped her arms around him.

She whispered into his ear so only he could hear and not his family that was in the room. "Derek the inscription means more to me than the ring itself. Thank you for talking time to write something special." She kissed him passionately on the lips just as they heard several pairs of little feet on the steps.

"In a years time those will be our little girl's feet." Derek smiled and placed his hand on her stomach. "She already has a strong kick."

"Yeah she does." She smiles enjoying how there friends and family are getting along so well. She raised her voice so everyone would be able to hear. "Next year for Christmas we should all go to our new house in Colorado and spent Easter together in Florida. I think of all of you as my family and I want you all in our daughter's life.' She said with tears in her eyes. They all stared back at her teary eyed and happy.

The family room was filled with presents from the floor to the ceiling. The younger kids in the room were jumping up and down excitedly waiting to unwrap the gifts from Santa. The older kids were excited as well but stayed calmer.

About two hours later the wrapping paper was thrown all over the room. There were Barbie dolls, Tonka trucks, stuffed animals, board games, computer games, cell phone, ipods, laptops, X box 360, Playstation 3, and any other toy you could think of was in Meredith and Derek's family room. The children and parents all had smiles on there faces. Izzie was very happy and loved how the children were reacting to the presents.

The breakfast that was made by Izzie and Burke was served shortly after. Everyone enjoyed it. The rest of the day the adults talked and built toys for the kids. The children all played with there new Christmas toys and games. Some of the older girls did fashion shows of there new clothes.

The day went by quickly and they enjoyed a feast cooked by Burke with the help of Izzie, Hannah, and Elizabeth. The food was delious it looked like something off of the food network and tasted like a gourmet chief made it.

Meredith and Derek had a great first Christmas together and couldn't wait until the next Christmas. They had so much fun sharing the holidays with there family and friends, who have become family to them, that they were looking forward till Easter.
