Author's Note: Chelseagrey: Guys… I am so sorry for the delay. I had to hold off writing this chapter because of my stupid writers' block… Anyway here is the next chapter. There is an author's note from me and fanficaddict at the bottom. Enjoy this chapter alright?
Meredith woke up in Derek's trailer with a smile plastered on her face. The reflection of the sun through the ring shined in her eyes revealing the glint of an engaged woman. She smiled again and closed her eyes trying to allow peacefulness to course through her excitement. Before that could happen, Meredith felt herself being flipped over and furiously tickled by Derek.
"Good Morning Dr…Mrs…Future Sheperd."
"Derek ahhhhhhahaha stop hahaha it hhahha now!"
"Fine fine…"
The look of mock defeat covered the man's face as he sat up and pulled Meredith close to him. Meredith leaned against his chest and listened to his heart.
"Soo…we're really engaged."
"I guess so."
"As much as I want this… only one thing concerns me."
Derek's eyes widened as his face fell wondering if she might not want to go through with this.
"What is it Mer?"
"Wipe that look off your face… it's nothing that bad."
"Meredith you are scaring me."
"I'm just wondering since we will be married… I will be Dr. Sheperd too."
"Oh… wheeww. You scared me there."
"I have no regrets trust me. Derek I love you. There is no one I would rather spend the rest of my life with."
"I love you too Meredith. Now about this name thing…"
"We can't both be Dr. Sheperd. Patients will go insane. Not to mention the nurses and interns."
"Hmmmm… what are you thinking?"
"You have been Dr. Sheperd all your life… I want a turn."
"Heyyyyy. How about I stay Dr. Sheperd and you can be Dr. Meredith? Sounds sexy you know…"
"But I wanna be Dr. Sheperd toooooo."
"How about some breakfast… then you can work on your wordplay."
"That is very hurtful future husband."
Derek smiled as he got out of bed. He went over to Meredith and offered his hand to her.
"May I have breakfast with you?"
"Alright. What's on the menu?"
"Pancakes. Do you like pancakes?"
"Now where have a heard that before?"
It was before they started dating. Cristina was messing with Meredith's mind.
"At least I'm not the intern screwing the attending."
"I am not screw-."
As Meredith reached the doorway, there he was. He was just standing there with his pretty boy smirk. Meredith nonchalantly tried to bring down his mood.
"You're here early."
"I have a cordonomy at 5… I get out a six I thought I could buy you breakfast before your rounds."
"I've already eaten."
"What you have?"
"None of your business." A small part of her wanted just to scream at the top of her lungs, 'YES I WILL HAVE BREAKFAST WITH YOU!' but that was not going to happen.
"Are you a cereal person? Straight out of the box or all fruit and fibery?" he laughed at himself for a moment… at least at his desperation.
"Pancakes? Do you like pancakes?"
"Fine. Leftover grilled cheese. Curiosity satisfied?"
"That's sad. That's pathetic. A good day starts with a good breakfast."
"Look I'm not being seen with you in this hospital. Learn it, live it. It's unprofessional."
"Think of it as one of the attendings getting to know one of the interns."
"He slept with the intern."
"Barely knew her."
"And it should stay that way."
"You want me to be professional, I'll be professional."
"That's what I want."
"And that's what you get."
"You're going to be late for your cordotomy,"
"Nice talking to you Dr. Grey."
It's amazing how much Meredith had changed after that. From the beginning she was wound tightly. Her party girl days were over when her mother had taken ill. Since Derek she was looser. She learned to enjoy the finer things in life. The things that made her who she is. There was nothing she couldn't do know. There was nothing unreachable. It was all because of Derek.
"Derek! PUT ME DOWN!"
"Meredith… come on… loosen up be flexible. It's the gravy!"
"Are you trying to bring back the past now?"
"Well… honestly… what happened back then was us… now… we're different people. We love each other unconditionally. Now we are going to get married. Closing the door of being single and opening it to the possibilities of marriage."
"I love you Derek."
"I love you too Meri."
"So… can I be put down now? I want to eat!"
"Fine… ruin my fun."
"We'll have fun later."
Derek placed Meredith on her feet and then entwined his hand with hers. Meredith opened the refrigerator and looked through the food.
"Vegetables… eggs, milk, orange juice, ice cream… what a selection."
"How about this… I go out there and catch a trout and you cook the eggs. We'll have a trout omelet."
"All right."
"But before I go… I deserve a proper goodbye."
"Fine."
Meredith kissed Derek and smiled. Things were going to be okay.
"Don't forget to lock the trailer! I don't want you to get hurt!"
"Derek… I'll be fine but I was thinking…"
"What?"
"We should move into a house in case…"
"In case?"
Meredith rolled her eyes and pointed to her stomach.
"Ohh…"
"We'll talk about it later… get some food."
Derek grinned as he skipped out of the trailer and went to fish.
15 MINUTES LATER:
Derek ran into his trailer, absolutely stunned that he caught a 7-pound salmon. When he walked in the trailer, he saw Meredith tapping her nose and staring at his stereo.
"Can't make a decision?"
"Not really…"
"Put in the mixed CD with the title with the B and 1 on it."
"Okay."
Oh yeah I tell you something. I think you'll understand when I say that somethingI wanna hold your hand… I wanna hold your hand.
Oh please you say to me ' I'll be your man' and please say 'Let me hold your hand'
"Derek Sheperd… the Beatles fan? I thought you were more of a 'The Clash' guy."
"Hey… the Beatles are classic."
"Oh really? Anyway…"
Meredith and Derek then cooked breakfast… it was a bit messy… somewhere with the water and flour fight…
-
The man scowled through the window. Meredith was his and only his. Where the hell did this bastard come in and steal his Meredith. Today… she was going to be his.
-
"Derek! I don't need anymore lip-gloss! You smear it all anyway."
"Well… I want to go shopping with you."
"Alright, alright."
The couple walked into Nordstrom and glanced around.
"Mer… my mom and dad want to come over and meet you. I was thinking formal."
"Well that means I need a new dress."
They browsed through the dress section and finally found the one. It was green and sparkly.
"Mer… I'm going to get us some coffee. I'll met you back here okay."
When Derek came back, Meredith's purse and a piece of paper with 'HELP' and 'KIDNAPPED' written on it.All he knew now was that Meredith was kidnapped by some man. She was out there and he didn't know what to do.

To everyone else that review or has read: Thanks for reading the story. We really appreciate your acknowledgement. It means a lot. Keep reading and revewing.
Oh and I understand that the characterazation might/will be off but that's because Addison never happened making Meredith's personality different from what you see in the show itself.
But back to the poin that...
