Breathtaking

Derek looked over at Meredith, who was fidgeting in her seat. He couldn't help but laugh at her, when she was a nervous wreck.

"What is so funny?" She said innocently. Sometimes she thought Derek was a little weird.

"You." He replied, waiting for her freak out.

"Me?" She said shocked.

"Yes, you. You're about to pull out your hair." He said.

"No I'm not. I'm fine." She said, facing the seat in front of her, and trying to keep her cool. He knew. He knew she was losing her mind. She sat in silence for about two minutes before she said anything.

"Did we leave Sarah the car keys? What if she needs to leave? And I think I forgot to put more diapers in the changing table. What about Delia's blanket? She can't sleep without it." Meredith rambled. Derek started to open his mouth to respond but was cut off by her.

"OH! We forgot to put up Lexie and Izzie's numbers. What if something happens and she needs help?" She spit out.

"Meredith calm down! We have cell phones. We can call when we land and talk to her, okay?" He said taking her hand.

"Okay. I'm sorry. We've never left Delia for this long before." She replied.

"Besides, if you are at home right now, you won't be able to enjoy what I got you to use during the trip." He said handing her a wrapped present from his carry on bag. She looked up at him, with a smile on her face, peeling off the paper.

"It's a webcam, for us to use on the laptop to see Delia and Sarah. I set one up at the house just like it. So now you can see her anytime you think something is wrong." He said smiling back at her.

"Oh Derek, its perfect. You don't know how much that means to me." She leaned close to him, setting her head on his shoulder. She could do this. She was going to Hawaii for god's sake. How hard could it be to enjoy herself.

A bit later, they finally landed, getting lei'd as they stepped off of the plane. It was breathtaking. Everything was so pretty. She couldn't stop looking out of the window as Derek drove the rental towards their hotel.

As they checked in, she couldn't keep her mouth from hanging open. She was like a kid in a candy store. He led her towards their room, and as he opened the door, she had seriously felt like her heart had skipped a beat.
