Chapter eight


7th month

Derek was sitting on a couch in his office, thinking of the events of the last month. Meredith was now seven months pregnant and getting more tired at work, but she'll never admit it. Lucas is growing strong and healthy, and of course he and Meredith got engaged. Derek smiled remembering the day he proposed to her and she said yes.

"Mer, I know it's early, but I love you so much That I can not think of spending a day without you by my side. I wanna wake up every day with you by my side, and I want to take care of you and Luke forever, and have more children with you, and dies When I'm 110 years in your arms. So Meredith. Will you marry me? "

She looked at him with tears in eyes. "Derek i ..." she whispered.

"Mer please give me the honor of being your husband, and take care of you forever." he begged her looking into her eyes.

"Ok ... I mean Yes I'll marry you." she said smiling as he put the ring on her finger.

Derek smiled as he remembered until his phone started ringing, causing him to return to reality and then answered the phone.

"Hello .." he said

"Dr Shepherd. Here is Peter. "

"Oh hey, how everything is going ?" he asked, when he heard someone enter his office, and looked to see who it was.

"Everything is going well, actually. I'm calling to say that we finished the project, you just have to stop by my office and sign the papers. " Peter replies.

"That's fantastic, I'm going there this afternoon if it's alright." Derek said as he signaled for Meredith to lock the door and sit beside him on the couch.

"That sounds good to me Dr Shepherd."

"Okay then, see you later." Derek said hanging up the phone and giving a kiss on Meredith's cheek.

"Who were you talking about? Meredith asked curiously.

"With my friend Peter. He wants me to take a look at one of his projects." he said kissing her stomach and then her lips. The kiss lasted a few minutes and then they parted smiling.

"I'm so tired, I can not wait to get home and relax in the tub while you do me a foot massage." she said smiling.

"It will be a pleasure." he smiled and kissed her again.

"So I was thinking, and we need to buy baby stuff." she said, running her hands up and down on her belly.

"Mer, do not worry. I have everything under control."

"Seriously Derek. I'm seven months pregnant and we don't even have a crib."

"Mer just trust me, everything will be fine." he said hugging her.

Meredith looked at him suspiciously, she knows that look, he was hiding something.

"What are you plotting Dr Shepherd?" she asked

"Nothing, why do you think I'm plotting something?"

"I know you Derek, and I know you're hiding something, you have that look different when you're hiding something."

"I'm not hiding anything, it's just that I have a surprise for you." he said taking her hand.

"What a surprise?"

"If I tell you will not be surprised." he said smiling at her.

"I do not like surprises, you know that." she said pouting at him.

"I know but I'm sure you'll love this. We're going out to dinner tonight and then I'll show you to your surprise, ok?" he said kissing her forehead.

"Ok ..." she sighed when his pager went off.

"911, I have to go. I'll see you at seven." he said leaving office going toward the ER.


Meredith was having lunch with Izzie and George talking about their surgeries and about baby Lucas, and how they were happy for Meredith and Derek get engaged when Cristina came and sat with them at the table.

"Your husband is an idiot." she said to Meredith.

"First. He is not my husband yet, second. What'd he do?" she said looking at Cristina.

"He canceled my hemispherectomy, because he had something important to do today." she said with a grimace. Everyone at the table started laughing.

"Oh this must be about the surprise he'll do for me tonight." Meredith said.

"He's going to surprise you? That's so romantic." Izzie said smiling

"Oh this is all your fault. You owe me one, hemispherectomy." Cristina said angrily.

"She's just jealous that Mer."

"Shut your mouth barbie." Cristina said.

"So Mer you have any idea about what's the surprise?" George asked.

"I have no idea." she replied.

"I bet it will be something great." Izzie said excitedly.

"Maybehe will give you a new car because your is falling apart." Cristina said.

"What, my car is not fallen apart." Meredith exclaimed. Everyone at the table looked at her smiling sympathetically.

"Mer it is." George said.

"Whatever." Meredith said taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Mer So, when will be your baby shower?" Izzie asked.

"I'm not having one." she said simply.

"What. Why not?" izzie exclaimed.

"Iz these things are boring, I just do not have the patience for it."

"But Mer, you are having a baby, you need to celebrate that."

"Iz I know I'm having a baby, and I'm very happy, I just do not want to be sitting in a room full of people talking about babies."

"She's right Barbie, these thing are depressed." Cristina said.

"Ok but I'll give you a present anyway."

"Thank you Iz." Meredith said.


The rest of the day passed quickly, and Meredith was anxious to see the surprise that Derek had prepared for her. At seven o'clock, Derek was waiting for Meredith in the lobby. He was nervous about tonight, he just hoped Meredith would like surprise. Then he saw Meredith out of the elevator and smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Hey you ready?" Derek asked before kissing her softly.

"Yes I am. So where do we go?" She said as they walked through the parking lot holding hands.

"First I'll take you to dinner and then I'll have to give your surprise." Derek said, opening the car door for her. "Okay good, because I'm starving." Ela disse

"Let's go then." Derek said putting the seatbelt and starting the car.

Derek and Meredith had a nice dinner. They talked about work, marriage and how they were happy and eager to meet Lucas. After dinner Derek took Meredith to see the surprise as he had promised. He was driving while Meredith was sleeping with hands resting protectively on her belly. Derek stopped the car and looked at Meredith, he loved seeing her sleep but now she had to wake up.

"Mer, we arrived." he said shaking him gently.

"Oh okay ..." she said getting out of the car and looking around. That's when she saw a beautiful and huge house. "Derek where are we? Whose house is this?"

"This is your home, our home." Derek said handing the keys to her.

"What ... how?" she asked looking at him, and picking up the keys.

"I decide to build a house here. Would I tell you the day that Addison appeared. Remember that we were going to dinner ... I would tell you that day, but Addison appeared and everything was messed up, but I continued with the house project I hired a contractor and I start building the house when Addison was still here. then you told me about the baby and I ask them to hurry up with the construction of the house, because I had a baby on the way, and needed everything to be ready when he arrived." he said wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him.

"Thank you Derek ..." she said getting on tiptoe and kissing him softly. "Now lets get into our house, I want to see every room in this house." she said pulling his hand and walking toward the front door. Meredith opened the door when she had another surprise, the house was completely furnished.

"Derek ..." she sighed.

"You liked it ? I knew you don't like to shop so I chose everything, but if you don't like it we can change." he said with fear that she had not liked the furniture

"No. I loved Derek." she said smiling as she walked through the house.

Derek showed her the kitchen, the office, the living room, and a games room where Lucas will play in the future. The house had four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and Meredith was delighted that all that belonged to her and Derek.

"Ok Mer has only two rooms that I want to show you. Ready?" Derek said after they made a tour through the house.

"Yes I'm ready." she said and he opened the door he was in front of her.

"Oh my God Derek... This is ..." she stopped speaking while a tear ran down her face.

"This is Luke's bedroom. Did you like?" he said wiping the tears from her face.

"Yes, everything is perfect." she said while recording every detail of the room, the walls painted light green, white crib, stuffed animals that adorned the room, and the swing chair positioned near the window. She loved every detail of this room.
