40 Weeks
Hola! I am on a writing roll, so here goes another chapter. This is fastforward to Saturday, starting with the spa day! I'm excited to write! Haha. Keep reviewing, I love feedback!
A/N: I am not the owner of Grey's Anatomy, I am the owner of some really cute new sunglasses though. Ok, anyways, that's not the point. Addison isn't in here because she ruins Meredith and Derek, so, she is back in New York with Mark.
Week 3 (More Continuing)
Meredith pulled up to the spa fifteen minutes before her appointment. It was 9:00 am, and she was excited because her nausea had subsided except for once that morning. She didn't know exactly what she was having done, but she expected with Derek, it would be relaxing and romantic.
Walking into the large building, she immediately felt relaxed. The walls were painted in neutrals and blues, and greens. There was lots of white furniture and exotic furniture. Flowly fabrics covered cushiony chairs and friendly faces greeted her.
Meredith signed in, and was led to a locker room. It had a sink, a few lockers, a bathroom, and a shower. She was instructed to change into a robe, and leave her cell phone and pager in her locker. She wasn't worried because her program didn't even start until Monday morning. She changed into the fluffy robe, and put her locker key into her pocket.
Entering the hallway, she sat down on the fluffy cushions that surrounded the floor where people waited for their appointments. Picking up a magazine, she browsed through a copy of Seattle.
Seattle Grace was rated the best hospital in the area. Flipping through the article, she found a picture of Derek, and a story of his coming to Seattle Grace. She smiled as she read it, then flipped to the outside, to find that it was a very old story, two years old!
Meredith chuckled and looked romantically at his picture until the lady came and got her.
"Dr. Meredith Grey?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Hi, im Lara. I am going to be taking care of you today."
"That sounds great, what exactly am I getting done, I'm kinda clueless."
"Well, I have been told to tell you, not to worry about it. Dr. Sheperd has the day planned out, and everything sounds very relaxing. He will be coming to pick you up around six tonight."
"Okay, that's fine."
"Okay." Lara said with a smile.
"This is Gertie, she is going to be starting off with you today." Lara explained as Meredith shook Gertie's hand.
"Follow me." Gertie said. "So, today we are going to start you off, with a facial."
Meredith smiled. This was going to be fun.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Derek paced back and forth inside his apartment. 10:00 am. Meredith was at the spa right now. He hoped that she was having a good time. He had so much planned for her today. He knew he was going to propose tonight, but how? He had been sleepless for two nights thinking about it, and he still had no clue. He knew that they were going to the Red Room, and then for a horse-drawn carriage ride around the park, a few miles outside the city. He thought he would probably propose on the bridge overlooking the lit-up lake, during the fireworks that were supposed to happen around 9:00 p.m.
Derek sighed. 13 more hours of worrying.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Meredith smiled as the massouse massaged her back. Deep tissue massage. That was what was after the body scrub that she had just received. This was great. The room was all white, white table, white towels, white walls, white candles, and white uniforms for the massouse. She enjoyed being massaged while thinking of what the night had in store.
"Is this good?" the massouse asked her.
"Mmmm yeah." Meredith answered.
"You are very lucky to have a boyfriend who does this for you."
"I know. I'm confused, there's no special occasion."
"Well, men can surprise you sometimes."
"You don't think…."
"Well, maybe."
"A proposal? Goodness."
"You never know. Men are mysterious and can be very romantic if you let them."
"Gosh, what if he does? What am I going to say?"
"Do I really have to tell you that?" she chuckled.
"No, of course I'll say yes. I love him."
"Such a nice place to be. A doctor, in love, getting engaged."
"Yeah, it is." Meredith said, appreciating it all.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"Alright, Meredith, I have to ask you some questions before we give you this sauna bath."
"Sure."
"Okay, have you ever had a sauna bath before?"
"Nope."
"When was the first day of your last period?"
"Um, let me think."
"Today is March 30th, if that is any help."
"Yeah, March 7th."
"Okay. That's a bit of help, is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
"Well, I'm really not sure. I really don't know. I wouldn't know by now, would I?"
"Er, I guess if you were planning a pregnancy you could take a test, I don't know if you read yet. Have you had any morning sickness?"
"Well, no I got sick from this restaurant a few nights ago, and I've been pretty sick."
"Well, since we don't know, I say we skip it, that's the safest thing to do, and if it turns out that you aren't pregnant, you can come back and get the sauna bath."
"Okay." Meredith replied glumly. She knew that she couldn't be pregnant. She and Derek were always careful. Plus, she hadn't missed a period yet, she'd just been sick. But that was from the restaurant. Wasn't it?
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Derek was on his way to pick up Meredith from the spa. He had gone around 4:00 p.m. and dropped off a dress for her.
He was nervous. Still. Still nervous, so many hours later."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Meredith was dressed in the beautiful strapless black gown that Derek had bought her. It was a beautiful piece of clothing on top of a perfect spa day.
She came out of the back spa room to find a perfect looking Derek waiting for her.
"Meredith. You look beautiful."
Meredith blushed. "Thank you, its this dress you got me. Its so amazing. This whole day has been so amazing."
"Amazing day for an amazing woman."
Meredith giggled and took the arm that Derek offered as they walked into the cool night.
"You look great, Derek. You clean up nice."
"Well, thank you. Look who's talking, Miss Princess."
"Where are we going?" Meredith asked.
"Ah, there is a good question. It is a restaurant called the Red Room."
"The Red Room? Derek, that place is amazing! My friend Kate and I used to walk by all the time and just look at the gorgeous people in there!"
Derek chuckled. "Well, you are a gorgeous person, so that is where we are going."
Meredith gave Derek a kiss on the lips.
Arm around her, they made their way down the corner to a fabulous looking restaurant.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Dinner was served with a level of elegance that Meredith had only seen in movies, and not since college in real life.
The servers were so professional that you hardly knew that they were even there.
The atmosphere required a certain amount of class just to enter. Derek was greeted by two couples in the process of dinner, with kisses on each cheek and a few kind words before getting back to what he really wanted to be doing, talking to Meredith.
"You're quite popular." Meredith remarked after the second couple left.
"Not popular, just known. It's a New York social thing. Both those couples were from New York. It's a large social circle of a certain group, and its just the thing to do."
"Ah. Mr. New York."
"Haha, I wish. But, I'm starting to like Seattle. I really have a thing for"
"The ferry boats. I've heard."
"Well I was going to say you. But ferryboats are a close second."
Meredith chuckled.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"You hardly ate your cheesecake, you okay?" Derek asked after dessert had been cleared.
"Yeah, too full. This has been an amazing night Derek. This dinner was great. The spa was great. The dress is great. And, you're more than great."
Derek smiled back at her. "You're not so bad yourself. You know, I really love you."
"I love you too."
"I have a surprise for you." Derek said as he took Meredith's blindfold. For the ride to the park, he had blindfolded her, so that she wouldn't know where they were going.
Removing the blindfold, Meredith looked around and saw hundreds of beautiful flowers, a lit up lake with a huge waterfall, and a bridge that was magnificent.
"Derek, its gorgeous."
Derek didn't say anything but he smiled and took her hand and led her to the bridge.
As if on cue, the fireworks went off, shooting into beautiful shades of reds and oranges, hearts, stars, and the original shapes.
Derek took Meredith's chin in his hand and kissed her deeply. Meredith took his face in her hands and deepened the kiss. When she finally opened her eyes again, Derek was down on one knee.
"Oh my God." She whispered.
"Meredith." Derek said pulling a small black box from his pocket.
"I love you. I am more than in love with you, I am madly in love with you. And I want to be with. I want to be with you for a long time. For forever. For the rest of the time that I am alive and afterwards. I want to grow old together, and travel with you. I want us to have a house full of children, and a life full of importance. I want to go to bed every night knowing that you are right there with me. I want to have a wedding and a honeymoon, and I want to fight with you and then have great make up sex, and then I just want to be with you. I want to sit on the porch of our house and hold you hand. I want to love you forever. I love you Meredith. Will you marry me?"
A lone tear rolled down Meredith's cheek as she nodded fiercely.
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"Yes!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
Derek slipped the ring onto Meredith's finger and then wrapped her in a huge hug with his strong arms. Meredith hugged him tightly back, and he showered her with kisses.
"I love you Mer."
"I love you too Derek."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
So I know this was longer than I normally make them, but the scenes were shorter, but I think it went ok, they said I love you a lot, but they're inlove and they are smitten and engaged so I allow it. Haha. Review!
