Okay so we are up to the next chapter. Thanks for all the positive feedback. It definitely got my creative juices flowing!
Derek quietly opened the door, carefully incase Meredith had fallen asleep. She hadn't she was sitting there reading a medical journal magazine. Immediately after hearing the door open, she looked up and smiled.
"Hi." said Meredith her voice hoarse.
"Hi. said Derek as he sat down on her hospital bed and then lay down with her, wrapping is arms around her waist.
"I'm sorry for not telling you I felt so sick." said Meredith as Derek pushed stray hairs away from her face.
"It's okay. Just next time just tell me. I seriously thought I was going to lose you or something." said Derek as he laid his head in the crook of her shoulder, as her back pressed into his chest.
"Lose me. Never. You agreed to marriage. You're stuck with me for life." said Meredith as she closed her eyes gently.
"That's the best news I have heard all day." said Derek as he kissed her temple and let her fall asleep in the protection of his arms.

One month later.
Meredith was folding laundry with Ava, when Derek walked in late afternoon after finishing up at the hospital early.
"Daddy your home!" screamed Ava as she ran into Derek's open and waiting arms.
"Hi Bear, are you helping Mommy?" asked Derek as he kneeled down in front of her.
"Uh –huh. Daddy guess what?" asked Ava as she jumped up and down.
"What Bear?" asked Derek interested in what she was going to say.
"Emma sat up all by her-self today." said Ava as she ran over and clapped in front of Emma's swing.
"She did now? Do you think she would do it for me?" asked Derek towards Meredith.
"Why don't we see." said Meredith as she took out her and laid her down on the carpet in front of Derek.
Emma first just looked up and smiled a toothy grin when she saw Derek, and then slowly began shifting her weight to her top half and sat her-self up.
"Wow. What a big girl." Said Derek as he picked her up and kissed her.
"Yep they're both getting so big." said Meredith.
"Bear, can you go play in your room and color Daddy a picture, so Mommy and I can talk." asked Derek.
"Okay Daddy." said Ava.
"What did you need to talk to me about?" asked Meredith as she put Emma back in her swing next to a sleeping Paige and sat on Derek's lap.
"We need a vacation. As a family, And now we, are getting one. We leave in two days for Disney World." said Derek.
"Wait what?" asked Meredith after he said this.
"We're leaving for Disney exactly in two days. Seven nights and eight days. You, me and the girls." said Derek.
"Oh my goodness Derek, thank you." said Meredith as she turned around and passionately kissed him long and hard on the lips.
Derek slowly started to kiss her neck and Meredith slowly kissing and biting his ear. Derek then slowly put his hand up her back, wanting and needing more. Meredith stopped him.
"Derek our kids are right there. Not now later." said as she got up to tend to Paige.
That night the whole family fell into a deep sleep, dreaming wonderful things about Disney. But before any Disney magic happened, Meredith and Derek had some magic of their own.

Two days later
Meredith sighed as her alarm clock. Three o'clock in the freaking morning. She sat up slowly and then kissed Derek's temple, in motivation to get him up. His tired looking eyes fluttered open moments later.
"Good Morning." said Derek as he kissed her lips gently.
"Good Morning. I can't believe I'm up at three o'clock and it's not for a baby." said Meredith as she got out of bed and turned the lights on.
"Yeah. Seems different. "said Derek as he got out of bed and picked up the clothes he left out the night before.
"I'm going to get the girls up and dressed, and then I'll shower." said Meredith.
"Alright. As soon as I am done showering, I will bring all the suitcases down." said Derek as he headed into their master bathroom.
Meredith walked out of the room slowly and headed into Ava's room. She slowly flipped the light in her room on, and headed farther into he room to wake her up. She rubbed her back slowly before Ava's eyes opened.
"Good morning sweetie." said Meredith.
"Hi Mommy! I fly to Mickey Mouse today?" asked Ava as she sat up in bed.
"Yes we are flying to see Mickey Mouse today." said Meredith as she smiled and helped Ava out of bed. She quickly changed her diaper and then got her changed into comfortable pink terri-cloth shorts and a pink tee-shirt. She then put on her little white and pink sneakers.
"Mommy I wear flats today." said Ava as Meredith put her shoes on.
"No sweetie, when we go to where the airplane is, you have to take off your shoes. Mommy doesn't want you barefoot at the airplane's house." said Meredith explaining it in a two year version.
"Okay." said Ava as Meredith finished velcroing her shoes.
"Okay Ava you stay here, while Mommy get's your sister's dressed. Don't make too much noise though, it's still nighttime." said Meredith.
Ava nodded still being somewhat tired nodded, and then started playing with her dolls.
Meredith walked down the hall and went into the nursery and gently lifted Paige first from her crib, trying not to wake her. She was changing her diaper, when Paige woke up and smiled a toothy grin at her.
"Hi sweetie." said Meredith in her cutest voice.
Paige looked up at her with her match hazel eyes. She was definitely the feistier baby and more attached to Meredith. Meredith quickly finished dressing her and laid her in her carrier that was sitting on the floor. She slowly put her in her JJ Cole Bundler that kept her warm since, it being the middle of October and then put a baby toy next to her, for her too look at. She then proceeded to change Emma, who didn't wake up until she was putting her into her bundler. She then began to cry and quickly settled down when Meredith gave her a pacifier. Derek then walked into the room with Ava.
"Your turn." said Derek as he sat down with the girls on the floor.
Meredith quickly walked down the hall and grabbed a lavender purple sweater, jeans and white ballet flats. She quickly jumped in the shower and washed her hair with her lavender shampoo and then got out quickly and blow dried her hair. She then put her make-up on and got dressed. She returned half an hour later to the nursery.
"Are we ready to go?" asked Meredith as she sat down on the floor.
"Yep all windows are closed, Lady has been fed and the dog sitter's money is on the counter." said Derek.
"Great the car service is outside. Just grab Ava's car seat from the living room for the car ride and plane and we are out." said Meredith as he threw a diaper bag over her shoulder and grabbed the two carriers as Derek picked up Ava and they proceeded to the door downstairs.
"Hello folks." said an old man as he got out of the van they had asked to be picked up in. He proceeded to take their bags with Derek and put them in the trunk. Derek then set up the bases for the carriers and put in Ava's car seat. He then picked Ava up and put her in with her teddy bear and then took Paige while Meredith took Emma and clicked them in. They then got into the car and started to head towards the air-port.
"Daddy we going to see Mickey!" said Ava excitedly as she jumped as much as she could in her strapped car seat.
"I know Bear." said Derek as he smiled at her and winked at Meredith in the back seat.
"Mommy I hungry." said Ava
"When we get to the air-port we'll eat sweetie. I promise." said Meredith as she stuck a pacifier in Paige's mouth.
"Where you folks off to?" asked the driver.
"Disney. It's their first time." said Derek proudly.
"My grandkids just went; they were about your daughter's ages. They absolutely loved it." said the man as he pulled in front of the airport.
Derek helped Ava out and held her hand as Meredith climbed out after with both the girls. The old man then put their luggage with the people outside, so they can just head straight through to security, instead of waiting in line. Derek came up to the man as he held Ava.
"How much do I owe you?" asked Derek as he took out their wallet.
"Not a penny. You're a young family. You take the money and take your wife out to dinner. Or buy your kids a new toy. Have a good vacation." said the man as he got into his car and drove away.
Derek walked back over to Meredith and took one of the carriers along with the diaper bag, so Meredith could hold their carry-on.
"How much was the ride here?' asked Meredith as they walked into the airport.
"Nothing, the guy told me to keep it and do something nice for my family." said Derek as they headed into the security line.
"That was sweet." Said Meredith as she put the carrier down and put her shoes in a tray. She then removed the babies from the seat and handed Emma to Derek and took Paige and walked through security. Ava followed right behind them.
"Mommy I very hungry." said Ava as Meredith strapped her shoes back on.
"I know sweetie, so am I. We're going to get breakfast right now." said Meredith as she took Ava by the hand and grabbed Emma's carrier and the diaper bag, while Derek grabbed their carry-on and Paige's carrier.
They quickly found a Starbucks to eat breakfast at. Meredith quickly got two coffees for her and Derek and muffins, and water and a banana for Ava. Meredith quickly poured water into Ava's sippy cup and let her drink it then. They sat and ate for about ten minutes and then Meredith decided it would be a good time to give the twins medicine so they would sleep through the plane ride. Being only almost four months old, Meredith and Derek figured it would be better id they slept for the plane ride. They would see how it went for Ava. They then packed up again and moved toward their terminal. Once they were situated they had about twenty minutes left till the plane was going to board. Meredith gave Ava a coloring book and then rocked Paige and Emma to sleep, the medicine finally starting to work.
Twenty minutes later they started calling for their row to get on board. Meredith reached for Derek's hand.
"It should be an experience." laughed Meredith as they packed up and started to board their plane.
Well? Next chapter we will se how the family is doing 38,000 feet in the air!
