"Mom! Don't cry." Delilah said as she she looked into her mom's eyes.
"My babies are graduating from high school today. How can I not cry?" She said as the tears fell freely down her cheeks.
Meredith looked at her daughter with her soft blonde curls and dazzling blue eyes. She was dressed in her navy gown and holding her hat. Today her babies were graduating. They were leaving. They were moving on, leaving she and Derek behind.
"Is mom freaking out again?" Devlin said as he walked into Derek and Meredith's room.
"Of course she is!" Delilah said as she looked over at her brother.
"Mom..." Devlin said as he walked up to her.
Meredith felt his strong arms wrap around her as she closed her eyes. She felt like her world was ending. All of those years. Everything they have been through. Almost losing them. Devlin being a crazy dare-devil and Delilah thinking she can do anything he can do. She pulled away and looked into his blue-rimmed green eyes.
"I'm okay..." She said as she rubbed his dark curly hair.
"Yeah?" He asked as he looked up at her.
"I am." She said with a nod as she tugged at her black dress.
"You do realize we are going to get shit for having the hot mom, right?" Devlin asked with a chuckle.
"Don't say that word!" Meredith said as she smack him on the arm.
"Sorry..." He muttered.
"It's true, mom. I don't need that today." Delilah laughed.
"I just won't go..." She said as she dropped her head.
"We're kidding!" Delilah answered.
"Where's Anna Banana?" Devlin asked as he looked at his mom.
"She's on her way. You know Anna, she's always late..." Meredith muttered.
"Well, she has to find just the right thing to wear!" Delilah laughed.
"You have a point..." Meredith muttered as she looked at the floor.
"Well, we'll be downstairs with dad." Devlin said as he pulled his sister out of the room.
"What are you doing?" She asked as they walked down.
"Mom needs time. She is going nuts." Devlin said as they kept going.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Delilah asked with concern.
"Are you kidding? She has dad. And you know they will be going at it like crazy once we're gone." Devlin said with a chuckle.
"Seriously, I don't need that vision!" She said as she scrunched her nose like her mom.
"How's your mom?" Derek asked as he looked at his children.
"Freaking out." Devlin said with a shrug.
"Not good..." Derek muttered as he jogged up the stairs. He walked up to see her bawling on their bed. "Mer..." He said as he held her. "It will be okay."
"I know. I know. I will miss them. That's all..." She said with a frown as she looked up.
"I will too. They need to move one. They need to have their own lives. But it will be fun. You and I will have fun..." He said with a smile.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Oh yeah. I remember a time when we could have sex anywhere..." He said, thinking back.
"I remember that..." She said with a smirk.
"Well, soon it won't be a memory. You have me..." He said as he kissed her head. "You have your job. You will be fine." He said as he kissed her softly.
"And we still have that rotten pony." She said with a chuckle.
"Yes, we still have the rotten pony." He agreed as he laid his head against hers. "Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be." She said with a faint smile.

"Delilah Shepherd." They called her name as she walked up and grabbed her diploma. Meredith began to cry when Delilah blew her a soft kiss. She watched as her daughter walked off the stage.
"Devlin Shepherd." He said as Devlin walked up. Meredith saw him wink between her tears. Derek squeezed her hand as they sat there.
"You're okay." He said as he kissed her temple.
"I know." She whispered.
"God, mom, you didn't cry this hard when I graduated!" Anna said in shock.
"I know. But I knew you'd be okay." Meredith said sadly. "Devlin is-"
"A mama's boy!" Drew, Anna, Jane and Derek said quickly. Meredith started to giggle.
"Well, that too... But I was going to say wild. He's wild." Meredith said.
"They will be fine." Anna said as she hugged her mom.
"They're off to Europe. You're going back to med school..." Meredith said with a sigh.
"And you have dad." Anna said with a hug.
"I do have your dad." Meredith agreed as she looked over at Derek. He kissed her gently. They sat there for the rest of the ceremony and then met Devlin and Delilah.
"We'll be okay, mom!" They both said as they hugged her softly.
"Okay..." She said with a nod. "Okay..." She heard their friends call them, she nodded for them to go.
"They will be fine. I'll be fine." Anna agreed. "And you were the best mom and dad I could have ever wished for." She said as she hugged them both. "And I miss you everyday!"
"We miss you too..." Derek said with a nod.
"And Sandy. I miss Sandy." She said with a giggle.
"I think Sandy misses you too." Derek said with a nod. "She still greets your mother with pinned back ears every morning."
"Some things never change..." Anna agreed.
"You're right about that." Derek said as he looked into his wife's eyes and kissed her.
----------------
"So now what?" Meredith said as they walked into their empty home.
"Well, I think I could thing of something to do..." He said as he attacked her neck, sucking and biting.
"Yeah?" She moaned as she looked at him.
They walked towards the stairs, not being able to keep their hands off of each other. Meredith peeled off her dress, letting fall on a stair. Derek unbuttoned his pants and let them fall mid-stride.
"Hurry..." She moaned as the ran to their bedroom, all of their clothes now in a long trail leading to their room. She shoved Derek onto their bed. He smiled as he kissed her. He massaged her breasts softly, rolling her nipple between his fingers. His tongue quickly began to suck.
"Oh..." She moaned. She leaned down and started to kiss his neck. He let her hair down and combed his fingers through it, something about her hair always turned him on. The smell, still that same perfectly soft, flowery scent. Her lips moved down his chest and stomach. She licked up and down teasing him with her tongue, finally meeting spot she was aiming for. She took his balls gently in her hand. He rested his hand gently on the back of her head.
"Fuck..." He moaned as her lips pursed his enormous cock. He felt her tongue trace his pulsating vein. She placed her mouth back on him and sucked hard.
"I'm...Oh God, Mer..." He moaned as his cock hit the back of her throat and he released in her mouth. She moved up and kissed his stomach until her lips crashed against his.
"I'm going to fuck you now..." She said with a smile on her face. He nodded happily. Meredith straddled him sliding him inside of her, while rocking slowly. His hands moved up her sides and he grabbed her tightly as he steadied her. He looked into her eyes and saw the same desire he had seen all those years ago. He began to thrust upward harder and harder. He felt her heated core wrap around him. Her moist folds, filling tightly. "Oh God..."
"Fuck, Mer... Oh God!" He shouted as he began to pulsate.
"I'm coming!" She let out a loud scream while her body shook. He released with a groan. She fell onto his chest as he cradled her in his arms, as they laid there tried to catch their breath.
"I will never get tired of that." Derek moaned as he kissed her head.
"We are pretty talented..." She said softly as she kissed him back.
-------------------
Meredith woke up in a tangled mess of sheets. She looked around, not seeing Derek anywhere. She was sure he was already downstairs eating his breakfast. She pulled herself out of bed, knowing that she had something to do. Something important.
She did it. The important something. She did it. And then she climbed in the shower. The hot shower that she had climbed in almost everyday for twenty years. Twenty years with the love of her life. Twenty years with the best, happiest family she had ever known. She climbed out and dressed in her favorite skirt and top. She had office today. Office with her husband. No surgeries. She loved surgery, but she really liked the personal feel of seeing her patients in the office. To meet them. To speak with them. That was truly satisfying.
She decided not to look as she walked down the stairs. As she looked out the large window, she way Sandy grazing in the field. A perfectly content, happy pony. Paige had died years ago, and was not replaced with a goat. They decided not to get another horse. Anna was the only one that was really into them, and now she was gone.
Meredith smiled as she looked at Derek at the kitchen table. There he was, sitting in his usual chair completely naked. He had always said that he couldn't wait for the day that he could eat breakfast naked. Of course, with all the kids, and their friends, it never happened. Their dreams of living completely nude had been put on hold for so long.
"What are you doing?" Meredith laughed as she looked over at him, spooning muesli in his mouth.
"Eating breakfast." He said with a grin.
"But the kids!" She said quickly. Reality soon caught up with her.
"Are in Europe..." Derek said quickly.
"Oh... Yeah." She said with a sigh.
"What do you have in your hand?" He asked as he looked over. His eyes quickly got wide. "Is that a--" He asked as he looked at the stick in her hand,
"Yeah. It is." She said in shock, herself.
"Did you- Are you--" He asked quickly.
"I haven't looked at it yet." She said in a daze. He life could be changing. She had a feeling. She had a feeling that she was. Nausea. Cravings. She had a feeling...
She quickly crossed the room to Derek. His body hadn't change much in all these years. He was still as good looking as ever. Not to mention he made sure he lived as healthy as he could, even with Meredith's teasing as she ate greasy pizza and burgers. She stopped next to him and held the stick out. They both peered down at it.
"Oh my God..." Meredith gasped as she looked at the stick, and then at him.
"Holy shit..." Derek said as he looked at the stick and then at her. "We're having a baby..."
