A Destructive Path

3 weeks later…

"DEREK!" Meredith frantically ran around her house, searching for her blackberry charger. She pulled the clothes out of her drawers, unmade the bed and dove between the pillows, and even checked the drawers in her bathroom, but still no charger. "DEREK!"

Derek ran up the stairs and into the bedroom, only to see a mess that resembled the aftermath of a tornado. He laughed quietly at the sight, Meredith nearly upside down hanging off the bed, searching under the bedside table.

"What Mer?" He said, waiting for her to sit up. He watched her struggle, nearly flip over, and then finally catch her balance and pull herself up.

"I can't…" She said stopping short of the end of her sentence. "Oh, Mr. Derek Shepherd, you wipe that shit-eating grin off of your face. I can't find my charger." She said sternly with her hands on her hips. He chuckled loudly tackling her back to the bed and tickling her until she couldn't breathe.

"You know guys. This is really heartwrenching, but you have a plane to catch." They both stopped and looked up to see Cristina leaning against the doorway holding the charger Meredith had been searching for. Meredith wriggled out of Derek's grasp, and took off, making it to the end of the bed, only to trip and fall with a loud thud. Cristina couldn't contain her laughter as the heap of limbs, known as Meredith, finally got back on her feet and snatched the charger, and continued out into the hallway, leaving Derek in the mess of a bedroom.

"Sarah has got Delia settled downstairs, so we are good to go. I've got my car loaded with all the suitcases." Cristina said, as Derek tried to straighten up a bit.

"Thanks again for taking us to the airport. It really helps with my mom and all." Derek said with a friendly smile.

"Don't mention it." She said with a straight face. Derek opened his mouth to say something but was cut off. "No, literally, don't mention it. I'll barf." She responded. "I swear you two are to damn mushy sometimes. It's just a car ride." She finished as she turned on her heel and headed back down the stairs. Derek followed only to find Meredith nearly doing the same thing to the kitchen as she had done to the bedroom.

"Meredith! What did you lose this time?" Derek said, grabbing the items out of her hands that she was pulling out of drawers and cabinets. "I lost my Blackberry!" She said frantically. Derek reached into his pocket and retrieved it and held it in front of her face just to see how long it took her to realize it was there. Finally she shrieked and grabbed it out of his hands, hitting him in the shoulder to justify it.

Sarah gave them both a goodbye hug and let them hug Delia bye. It would be hard but they needed this. Meredith said her last words, and turned to walk out the door, only looking back once to see her smiling daughter and mother-in-law. The week had officially started. A Meredith-no-worries week.

Wonder how long that would last…
