Meredith finally regained composure in the bathroom. She dried off and put her clothes back on. As she made her way towards the front of the apartment she heard noise from Izzie's room. She creaked the door open to find Sadie standing in the playpen making noise for someone to come get her.
Meredith walked over to her and picked her up. "Hey Sadie Lady, did you have a good nap? It was a short one." Meredith kissed Sadies head and grabbed the empty bottle from the playpen. She walked into the kitchen, where Derek had helped himself to a glass of water. "Look who's awake."
"Aww look who it is." Derek smiled and patted Sadie's head. "She's a cutie."
"She is and she is such a good girl." Meredith brushed hair out of Sadie's face as she talked in a sweet voice.
Derek watched as she went to the fridge and retrieved a children's sippy cup full of juice. It was as if he had shut off the world outside and just watched Meredith interact with Sadie. The way she carried her on her hip, was enough to make him think.
What if that were our baby on her hip.
He watched as she broke a small Gerber's Graduate Grain Bar in half and gave it to Sadie to carry in her small hands.
He snapped back to reality when Sadie began to cry.
Derek it is too early to be thinking about these things...get your mind out of the gutter./I
"Come on Sadie Lady you like these." Meredith said pleading with the baby. Finally Sadie took a bit then smashed the rest of the slobbery bar into meredith's shirt and began to spit the contents in her mouth out, which Meredith caught in her hands. "Okay, note to self don't buy the new bars. Sadie hates them." She turned on the water and sat Sadie on the floor while she washed her hands. She picked Sadie up and wiped her face. "Oh Sadie my shirt."
Derek just watched in amazement. Everything about the way Meredith was with Sadie made him attracted to her. The smashed baby food on her shirt made her even sexier. He walked over to her and planted a soft and quick kiss on her lips and just looked at her.
IGod, she's beautiful.
"What was that for?" Meredith asked
with a smile.
"I couldn't help myself." He walked back
to the counter and took a sip of his water and watched as Meredith
got Sadie a new snack.
"I'm a mess." Meredith said very calmly as she held a rag to wipe her shirt with in her other babyfree hand.
"You're perfect." He whispered so low, that she couldn't hear. He stood there and watched as he continued to tell his mind to slow down on the life planning. Because before he met Meredith three days ago, he had never once pictured the future with a woman. Not even his ex-wife.
