"I am not happy about this." Derek said firmly as he sat down the the kitchen table.

"Derek... Addison approved it. You were right there next to me. you heard her say it." Meredith said as she sat across from him and took a bite of her english muffin. Peanut butter and honey, her new favorite.

"A week. One week of rest. I think you need to take off until the twins get here." He said with a serious tone.

"No. I can't. I will be off for forever when they get here. I need to work. I have to use my mind." She told him frankly. "If I watch one more t.v. show, I think my head will explode. And I will be on SCUT. I'm not even doing anything overwhelming." She said as she shoved the last bite in her mouth.

"Meredith, now is not the time to be stubborn." He told her as he took another bite of his muesli.

"I'm not being stubborn. If it bothers me, I will stop. I promise." She said with a smile.

"I don't know about you, Meredith. You are too much for me." He said with a huff.

"Well, if that's the case, I'm sure you could find some other woman to put up with you. Actually... Probably not." She said with a chuckle.

"Definitely not. And I wouldn't want another one. You are all I need. And you are almost more than I can handle." He told her.

"Did anyone feed the horses?" Meredith asked as she looked out at the barn.

"Jane does when she comes. But I think Anna will need to start doing it too." Derek told her with a nod.

"She's too young to go out there by herself." Meredith told him.

"Well, i will help her." He said quickly.

"See, here is the problem. You can't. You work. Our schedule is nuts. There is no way we could do it. Now we have the thing... If Jane quit, we'd be screwed." Meredith told him.

"Jane wouldn't quit. And we would figure it out. Besides, it's teaching Anna responsibility." Derek told her as he took his last bite of muesli.

"Keep telling yourself that." She told him with a chuckle. "I think it's teaching her how spoiled she is and can be." She snapped. "Well, I need to go." She said as she leaned down and kissed him. "I'm sure there is an awesome surgery that will be happening today. Maybe holding something very heavy. Or standing in the OR for thirteen hours."

"Don't make me have to check up on you." He shouted after her.

"Goodbye, Derek." She said as she shut the door behind her.

Meredith climbed in the car. She was lucky. Very lucky. Long legs. If she didn't have long legs, there would be no way she could drive. Her stomach was very close to touching the steering wheel. It wasn't dangerous yet, but it was getting close. The load she was carrying around seemed to get heavier and heavier by the day. It wouldn't be long before she couldn't drive.

"You are a cow." Cristina said as she looked down at Meredith's stomach as she pulled her top off.

"Thanks, bitch." Meredith joked as she pulled her shirt down.

"No problem, you old married whore." Cristina responded with a smile.

"Holy shit, Grey!" Alex said as he began to laugh. "You aren't having twins, you're having a football team."

"Don't listen to him. You look great." George said with a nod.

"O'Malley, do you have an obsession with pregnant women now?" Alex said with a chuckle.

"Meredith, you look fine." Izzie said firmly as she walked over and put her hands on her stomach. "And you two are so lucky you stayed put." She told the twins happily. They heard the door open and glanced up.

"Assignments. Shepherd. I think you know what you are doing today." Bailey said as she walked in. Meredith nodded her head and walked out of the locker room.

Meredith grabbed the charts and started reading over them. She was still sleepy. The twins, kept her up. Lately they hadn't been sleeping. Occasionally she could talk to them and calm them down, but they were getting pretty active. And as much as she didn't want to admit it, she knew they were getting ready.

"Dr. Shepherd... How are you feeling after your ordeal?" Dr. Rayburn asked as he walked up from behind.

"Good. I'm feeling good." She said quickly as she glanced up at him.

"Well, I'm glad they didn't make their presence know yet." He said with a nod.

"So am I." Meredith said with an agreeing nod.

"I have an craniotomy scheduled in an hour. Do you want in?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes. Oh god yes. But no. I promised Derek I wouldn't. And I won't." She said with a frown as she patted her stomach.

"Well that's no fun." He said with a chuckle.

"No. No it's not." She agreed as she looked back over at him.

Meredith looked up at the clock. She knew there was a reason why her stomach was growling. She was hungry. But she was tried too. Her charts were done. Bailey's post-op notes were up to date. And she needed to rest. She went to the cafeteria and grabbed a turkey sandwich. She finished before she even made it down to the basement. Her feet ached. Ached didn't even begin to describe it. It was more like a someone had smashed her feet with a hammer feeling. Her head was pounding. Her back was pounding. She had never been so happy to see a gurney in her life. She laid softly and closed her eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.

"Dude, she looks like a beached whale." Alex said with a chuckle.

"That was mean." Izzie said as she smacked him in the arm.

"It's true. She actually does." Cristina agreed as she looked at her sleeping friend.

"I give it a week." Alex said with a nod. "A week and we'll have two screaming McWhatevers."

"No, two weeks at least." Izzie told him. "She's big, but she's not ready."

"Full term. Mer's too stubborn. She'll stick it out." Cristina said firmly.

"Would you like to make a friendly wager?" Alex asked.

"You bet your ass. Two hundred." Cristina said with a nod. "Full term, I don't care if I have to push them back in." She said as she looked at her friend, sleeping peacefully.

Meredith ambled down the stairway. The house was quiet. Eerily quiet. She needed some fresh air. The twins were making their presence known tonight. Damien was in her ribs. A true Rosemary's baby. She loved it. She really did. It was like a wake up call. Every time they moved, she knew they were still in there. Still kicking, still alive. She was hungry, craving something. She looked in the refrigerator. She grabbed the jar of peanut butter fudge sauce and a pickle. Meredith looked out the picture window at the barn. She slowly slid her shoes on and started to walk through the damp grass. She hadn't really been out to the barn. She refused. She was still letting Derek think that she was mad about it.

Meredith flipped on the light, seeing two sleepy horses blinking their eyes. She looked at the brass name plates on their stalls. Everything was so perfect. The barn was completely spotless, not a scrap of hay on the concrete aisle-way. Dipping her pickle in the jar, she stood there and watched them. Both nickered softly at her. She grabbed a little hay from the bale and watched them both eat. They seemed so content by such a little gesture. Paige made her way over to the stall door, sticking her head through the fold down door. She sniffed Meredith's peanut butter fudge dipped pickle.

"Do you like that?" Meredith asked as she held it out. The mare's ears went up as she reached for the odd concoction in Meredith's hand.

"Fine, you can have the last bite." She said as she dipped the small piece and held it out. Paige snapped it up quickly. Sandy quickly went to her door and began talking.

"I don't have anything left." Meredith said with a shrug. She quickly turned around and opened the tack room door, grabbing a few treats. She smiled as they gobbled them down and then went back to their hay.

"I see how it is...you get what you want, and then walk away." She said with a chuckle. "Horses are just like men." She muttered as she walked to the light switch and made her way up to the house.

Meredith climbed back into the bed. She looked over at her sleeping husband. Addison gave her the okay. She was shocked, but Addison said yes. She wanted to wake him up. She hadn't felt him in so long. She needed him. She wanted him. She had needs and he needed to fill them. She leaned over and kissed him softly on the neck. She felt him stir slightly and roll onto his back.

"Mmmm." He said as he sleepily opened his eyes. He looked into hers. He knew what she wanted. Her mouth quickly moved to his, full of need.

"I need you." She moaned as she moved her hands down to his boxers.

"It's two in the morning." He said as he looked at the clock.

"I know." She said as he hand slid into his boxers. He gasped as he felt her hand teasing him. "I need you." She reiterated with haste as she began stroking his member.

"Oh god..." He moaned as he felt his erection growing in her grasp. She released his pulsating cock and pulled his boxers down.

"I want you to fuck you. Hard." She said as she hovered over him. He smiled as she once again began working him, a glint of pre-cum making it's presence. She slowly lowered herself onto his waiting shaft. He groaned as he felt himself filling her tight space. He slowly slid his hands inside of her shirt and massaged her throbbing breasts.

"Der..." She moaned as she felt him inside of her. He smiled as she rocked her hips. His smile grew as he saw the deep desire in her eyes. She began pumping harder as she felt his cock grow inside of her. The blood pumping forcefully.

"Fuck...Mer..." He shouted as he felt her tighten around him.

"Oh god, Der...Oh god..." She moaned as she felt herself nearing. She felt his hands squeeze her ass tightly, causing her to pump harder. His hips met her every move. Meredith began to shudder as he climax took her over, her mind becoming cloudy.

"Shit...I'm...I'm coming...Fuck..." Derek shouted as he felt her clamp around him, sending him over the edge. "Oh...oh god..." He moaned as he released inside of her, their fluids mixing inside.

"Oh god..." She muttered as she collapsed. She lifted herself up, pulling him out.

"I'm glad you woke me up." He said breathlessly.

"Yeah...me too." She agreed. She laid there looking at the ceiling. "I'm...today was my last day. You were right. It's too much."

"Yeah? You're sure?" He asked as he looked down at her. She nodded. He pulled her against his side. He knew how hard it was for her to admit that. He was proud of her. She was truly taking care of herself. It was about time.

-----------------------

Meredith climbed into her BMW. She didn't know what to do. The house was boring. Anna was at school. Jane had already left for the day. Everything was done. The house was clean. And there was no way she could stare at the television for another second. Driving down the familiar streets of Seattle she made her way to the baby store.

"Hello, ma'am. How are you today?" The salesperson said as she waddled in.

"I'm great." She said as she placed her hand on her stomach and began looking around.

"Do you need help with anything?" She asked as she followed Meredith.

"No, I think I'm okay." Meredith said with a smile as she continued on.

It was getting so close. She was nervous and excited. Pretty soon, she would be gaining her flat stomach back, and maybe she would even be able to see her feet again. She looked through the onsies. They were so little and cute. She grabbed ones that said Daddy's little girl, and Mommy's little man. Twins. It was amazing. Two children at once. Meredith moved to the back and looked at some tops for herself. Even her maternity tops weren't fitting right at this point.

"So, how much longer do you have to go?" The woman asked as she gestured to Meredith's large abdomen.

"Four weeks." Meredith said with a grin. "I feel like I just found out."

"It goes fast. Almost too fast. But they will be so much fun." She said with a smile.

"Are they your first?" She asked.

"I have a six year old daughter, but she's adopted. This is my first pregnancy." Meredith said as she watched her scan the clothing and baby items.

"I really enjoyed being pregnant. My husband and I are trying for number six." She told her.

"Six? I can't imagine. One six year old is enough right now." Meredith said with a nod.

"I know my daughter was so jealous when I had my second child. She got over it. They just get insecure. How is you daughter?" She questioned as she put the last of the items in the bag.

"I think she will be okay. She's pretty secure. Almost too secure. My husband spoils her horribly ." Meredith admitted as she handed her her credit card.

"Well, good luck. Maybe you'll have to bring them in sometime." She said with a smile as she handed her the receipt.

"Yeah, sure." Meredith said with a smile as she grabbed her bags and walked out to her car.

Driving down the road, she looked at her clock in the car. It was nearly lunch time. She knew Derek had office today. She called him up, and decided that she would pick up some lunch and meet him at the office. On her way down the road, she saw an ice cream shop. She quickly turned in the lot. She needed ice cream. After grabbing a large chocolate dipped waffle cone, she climbed in the car. She drove down the road, licking the chocolate goodness. It quickly melted, part of it landing on her shirt.

"Shit!" She muttered as she looked at the large chocolate stain on her white top. Wiping it with a tissue, she she drove down the road, stopping at the deli.

With their deli sandwiches on the passenger seat, she drove down the road. Her large stomach close to the steering wheel. Traffic was bad, and all she could think of was sinking her teeth into the large pastrami sandwich. Lately she had been hungry all of the time, and at her last checkup she had gained several pounds. At the moment she didn't care, her stomach was talking louder than her head.

"Hello, Dr. Shepherd!" The receptionist said as she watched Meredith walk in.

"Hello, Sylvia." Meredith said with a smile as she walked in the door. She had their bag of food strategically placed in front of her large chocolate stain.

"Dr. Shepherd is in his office." She said as she watched Meredith walk through.

"Thanks." Meredith said as she continued down the hall and opened the door to his office, shutting it behind her.

"Hello, beautiful." he said as she stood up and walked around the desk, kissing her.

"Hello." She said with a smile as she placed the bag on the desk.

"What did you do?" He asked as he looked at the huge chocolate stain on the front of her.

"Stopped for ice cream." She said with a sigh. He chuckled as he looked at it. "I was hungry. I am hungry." She said as she opened the bag and pulled out her sandwich. He watched as she took a big bite and moaned.

"I think I'm jealous." He said as he took his sandwich out of the bag.

"Why's that?" She asked as she took another bite.

"Because a sandwich is making you moan louder than I do." He said as he shook his head.

"This isn't just a sandwich. It's pastrami." She said quickly.

"Oh. That explains it all!" He joked as he sunk his teeth into his own sandwich. "So what did you do today?" He asked.

"Went shopping. I got some baby stuff. And I also got a few shirts for myself. And it looks like I'm going to have to change into one if I want to keep my dignity." She joked as she took a bite, a huge dollop of mustard landing on her shirt. "You have got to be kidding me!" She shouted as she looked down.

"I guess you aren't used to that being in the way." Derek joked.

"You do realize I am going to look like a deflated balloon, right?" She asked as she looked down.

"You will still look beautiful." He told her quickly. She rolled her eyes and finished her sandwich. She rolled her head back and moaned. Derek's gaze fell to her swollen breasts as she her chest stuck out.

"Well, I think I need to change if I'm going to get going." She said as she pushed her self up.

Derek watched as she peeled her dirty top off. Her butter soft skin was inviting. The cocoa butter she had been applying several times a day had her skin glowing. His eyes travelled to her cleavage. Her breasts sat perfectly in the pink bra. He sat his sandwich down and looked at her.

"Now why did you have to do that?" He asked as he looked at her.

"What?" She asked with a seductive grin.

"This." He said as he stood up, his hard erection making it's self known.

"Oh...That." She said with a giggle. She watched as he quickly walked around the desk. He walked up and ran his hands across her soft skin. "I think I want you..." She said as she nipped his ear with her teeth.

"I think that can be arranged." He said, his mouth sucking on her collar bone as he fumbled with the clasp of her bra. She moaned when she felt them set free from their confinement. Derek immediately moved his tongue down, trailing around her swollen tissue. Pregnancy had done amazing things in that department. She gasped when she felt his teeth pull at her swollen nipple.

"I need you." She said forcefully, as she hastily unbuttoned his shirt. Derek nodded as she pulled his shirt off. He quickly unbuttoned her jeans and slid them down with her thong. Derek placed her hands on her bare ass and sat her on his desk. She fumbled with her dress slacks, pushing them down with his boxers. She smiled as his fingers began to trail down her body. His ran his hands across her feminine mound, placing a finger inside.

"Damn you're wet." He moaned as he swirled his index and middle finger inside of her. He pulled them out and stared at his glistening fingers before sticking them in his mouth. "And you taste good too." He said as he licked them. Meredith slid off the desk, placing her feet on the floor.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he watched her.

"That will never work." She said as she began to stroke him rhythmically.

"Oh god." He said as he felt her warm petite hand tightening around him. She smiled when she saw his pre-cum glistening on the head of his large penis. She quickly dropped to her knees as she took him in her mouth. In and out. Her tongue traced the bulging vein, that was supplying the power.

"Shit..." He moaned as she placed him in her mouth again, deep throating his large cock. Derek held her head as she bobbed, in and out. His hips matched her rhythm, as she sucked harder and harder. "Shit...I'm...Ohhh..." He moaned as he released his hot fluid into her awaiting mouth. She pulled away, grabbing a napkin off of the desk and wiping her mouth of the abundant fluid. "Wow..." He said breathlessly.

"I still need you..." She pointed out as she ran her finger across herself. She lifted herself onto his desk, spreading her legs wide. Allowing him a front row seat to the erotic she was ready to put on. He watched as she plunged two fingers deep inside, swirling and twisting. "Oh...God...Oh." She moaned as she felt herself nearing. "Oh...god..." She said as she released.

She pulled her wet fingers out, extra fluid dripping onto his desk. Derek walked over and placed her fingers in his mouth. He smiled as he pulled her close and sucked on her lower lip then thrust his tongue into her mouth. She pulled away and he pulled her off of the desk, turning her around. She moaned as she leaned over, placing her hands on his desk. She felt him thrust into her hard from behind.

"Holy shit!" She shouted as she felt his large cock slam into her, his balls smacking into her hard.

"You like that?" He asked as he hit her again.

"Yes. Oh god yes." She moaned as she felt him pull in and out. "Oh god..." Derek placed his hands on her ass as squeezed tightly.

"God, Mer." He moaned as his cock slammed into her again. "Shit..."

"Harder, Der." She moaned, feeling him pound into her. The desk slid a few inches with the force.

"Oh...Shit...I'm...Fuck..." He said as he thrust into her.

"Der...I'm...Oh." She said as she released, her body pulsating, tensing and releasing around him.

"Oh..." He moaned as he spilling into her, his cock pulsating hard. He paused for a moment, and he stood there, leaning down to kiss her softly. He pulled out with a moan. Meredith turned around and leaned against the desk.

"That was a good lunch." She said breathlessly.

"Better than pastrami?" He asked with a smile as he slide his pants on. She began dressing herself.

"Way better." She said with a smile, as she pulled her new top over her head. They both looked up when they heard a knock on the door. Derek walked over and opened it. The nurse smiled at their disheveled but pleased looks. Derek temples still wet with sweat.

"Your patient is ready." She said with a smile.

"I'll be right there." Derek said as he straightened his shirt.

"I'll send someone in to clean up your lunch." She said as she looked in, seeing the food wrappers.

"I've got it." Meredith said as she began cleaning up and wiping the desk clean. There was no way she'd let anyone else clean that up. "Have a good day." She said as she gave him a quick peck.

"I will now." He said as he kissed her back. "And I'll see you tonight."

Meredith drove through the traffic. Most of the lunch people had gone back to work. She was worn out. But she was happy. Derek had just satisfied all of her needs. Now she was going to go home and take a long nap. She pulled down her driveway, seeing a strange car in the driveway. She pulled up into the garage and walked back out to the front. Her face dropped as she looked up.

"Meredith." The woman said with a huge grin as she walked up.

"Evelyn." Meredith said as she embraced her. So much for relaxation.

We needed the suss. There will be a lack of it. Things will be happening. Stuff will move along!
