A/N: I'm not really liking my writing very much right now. This story seems to be going nowhere even though I know where I want it to go. But, you all seem to like it, so I'll continue. If you get bored, or have any suggestions, let me know.

Chapter 62: Any Woman He Wants

On the day before her meeting with Laura, Meredith was sitting on the couch in the living room looking over a list of things about the wedding that she thought were important to bring up during the meeting the next day. They were mostly things that she and Derek ha discussed like kids meals for all of his nieces and nephews, and plenty of room for them to run around without breaking anything. Derek had told Meredith to get the biggest room possible for that reason and to not worry at all about the cost. She was just sitting there, list in hand, staring into space when Cristina walked in.

"Meredith?" Cristina said, sitting on the couch.

Meredith didn't reply. She just kept staring with a worried look on her face.

"Earth to Meredith?" Cristina tried again, this time waving her hand in front of Meredith's face.

"Huh? Oh. Hi Cristina," Meredith said, coming back to reality.

"What's up?" Izzie said cheerfully, coming downstairs and sitting in the living room with the other two girls.

Cristina just ignored Izzie, "What the hell is wrong with you Meredith?"

"Nothing," Meredith said sighing.

"Okay. I've known you long enough to know when you're lying, and you're lying right now. So you can either tell me what's wrong or I'll figure it out myself."

"Jeez Cristina! Be nice! Planning a wedding is stressful," Izzie said.

"Nothings really wrong. It's just…something's not right."

"I don't speak Meredith. English, please," Cristina said, beginning to get annoyed.

"Derek and I. We're getting married," she said without expression, staring at her ring.

"Yeah. That's what the huge diamond on your hand that you're currently staring at usually means," Cristina replied, sarcastically.

"Married. As in forever."

"Okay, seriously Mer. I don't get it. Just tell me what the hell is going on."

"It all seems too perfect."

"I still don't get it," Cristina said, even more bothered this time.

"Yeah, me either," Izzie added, now paying attention to the conversation.

"Derek. He could have anyone he wants. There are always going to be woman, like Laura, throwing themselves at him. I don't know if I can deal that…forever," Meredith explaining, still staring at her ring.

"Oh…now I understand," Cristina said, "Look Mer. You're probably right. Derek could have any woman he wanted."

"Not helping Cristina," Izzie interjected.

Cristina glared at Izzie and continued talking, "But he doesn't want any woman. He wants you. He asked you to marry him and be with him forever. And if he does hurt you, I'll kick his little pretty boy ass."

Meredith laughed, but Cristina was absolutely right. She had a sexy, charming and not to mention successful, brain surgeon who looked at her like she was the only woman in the world.

Derek got home from work late that night and crawled into bed quietly so he wouldn't wake Meredith up, not knowing she was actually still awake. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep.

"You're home," Meredith said, rolling over to face him in bed.

"You're awake."

"We're both so observant."

"See, I told you we belong together," Derek said, giving Meredith the McDreamy smile that always made her heart melt.

Meredith laughed and gave Derek a deep kiss.

"How was work?" she asked, pulling apart from the kiss.

"Work?"

"Yeah, you know, the job you have where you operate on people's brains."

"Oh, that one! Seriously Mer. You can't kiss me like that and then expect me to answer a question that requires me to actually think."

Meredith smiled at Derek, and he stroked her cheek with his thumb. They just lay there looking at each other until the expression on Derek's face changed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Izzie told me what happened today."

"I don't want to talk about it," Meredith said, looking away from Derek.

"Mer. Mer, look at me," he said turning her face back to look at him.

"What?" she asked not wanting to look him in the eye.

"Why are you feeling so insecure? You never worried about these things before we got engaged."

"I know. It's just…"

"Laura?"

"Yeah. As much as I hate to admit she's getting to me, she is."

"That's what I thought. Look, you have that appointment with her tomorrow right?"

"Right…" Meredith said, raising her eyebrows.

"How about we play a little game with her?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just play along," Derek said smirking.

"Derek…what are you going to do?"

"You…just…wait," he said in between kisses, beginning to tickle her as she squealed and screamed.
