Chapter 3: Day off.

Meredith's POV:

I hated having my day's off on a Saturday since the malls were always so crowed. Christina and I always took our days off at the same time for girl bonding time. Time that Owen and Derek said that we needed, apparently we are still too dark and twisty. When the alarm clock went off Derek moaned.

"You my love are so lucky." He said reaching over and pressing the snooze alarm.

"Shouldn't you be getting up?" I asked Derek who was still lying down. We were still a little mad at each other. Last night we had our backs turned to each other.

"Yeah, in five minutes," he said. He turned over and held me close. Normally I wouldn't find this gesture strange, but he and I had little to say to each other right now.

I wanted to apologize to Derek. I really did. I felt bad for everything, after all Addison and him were on pretty good terms and Addison didn't hate me… well not too bad. If Lexie can deal with this, then so can I. Addison truly wasn't a bad person, despite what Chris and I call her.

"Any morning sickness yet?" Derek asked.

"No I don't luckily. I still need to get those pre-natal vitamins. Remind me tomorrow to get them." I said to Derek.

"And next week you and I have the same day off so I was thinking that you and I could go to that new Italian Restaurant… I can't remember the name but Mark and you sister said that it was delicious."

"That sounds good. I love it when we have our days off together." We all get two days off a week. Most of us have Sunday and another day off.

There was an awkward pause between us. "So, I should probably get in the shower or else I'll be late." Derek said awkwardly.

"Yeah, you probably should…" I said as Derek started to get up. He went around the bed and knelt by my head.

"I really love you, you know that right." Derek said running his fingers through my hair.

"I know, I love you too." I replied sleepily.

All of a sudden our door swung open and sleepy Izzie walked in. She crawled into Derek's side of the bed. Derek looked at her like it was the weirdest thing ever.

"Good Morning Izzie." Derek said to her.

"Barely morning Derek." She moaned.

"Day off?" I asked Izzie.

"Yeah I just checked my schedule this morning." She replied.

"Okay well I'm gonna go take my shower." Derek said leaning down and giving me a quick yet soft kiss. I couldn't help but smile.

Derek grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. Lexie was walking down the hall when she passed our room. The door was wide open, so she saw me and Izzie still in bed.

"Are you serious? You guys have the day off? Oh come on!" Lex said.

"Shut up Lex. Need more sleep." Izzie said on the verge of falling back to sleep.

Lexie moaned and walked away.

I apparently must have fallen back to sleep because when I woke up it was almost ten.

"Iz?" I asked the empty space next to me. Just then Izzie stood in my doorway.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"You, me Chris mall?" I asked her, even though I knew that she would say yes.

"YES!" Izzie said overly excited. "By the way your husband called. He said that he was going to have about two hours for lunch so he said that he'll be free at one."

"Okay. I say we hit the food court and gain like twenty pound!" I joked.

"I agree. So when's Christina coming over?" Izzie asked, but not soon enough. Christina walked into the hall and over to Izzie.

"Right now." Christina said.

"Okay Christina, that was creepy!" Izzie said.

Chris shrugged. "Whatever Stevens, you're creepy. All bright and shiny, while Mer and I are the normal dark and twisty."

"Mall?" I asked. They all nodded and off we went.

All three of us were walking through the mall like best friends would. We were trying to decide which store to hit first.

"So where is Addison today anyways?" I asked remembering that I had not seen her today.

"She was catching up with some old friends. She left about nine or so. So how are you feeling about her staying with us for the week?" Izzie asked.

"Meh… I mean sure I don't want her to, but Derek does, and you know I love him and all…"

"Mer, I am going to be bright and shiny for all of one minute. Can you handle that?" Christina asked. I nodded.

"Okay so do you honestly think that he would leave you for Addison? I mean you're the one and the only Meredith Grey. He loves you with everything that he has. So Mer, don't worry." Christina said. Izzie and I stood there dumbstruck at Chris. She was just being… supportive. "And if you tell a soul what I just said to you, you will be dead." She warned us.

"Oh. My. God." I said shocked.

"I know right!" Izzie agreed.

Just then a pale boy with copper hair passed us. His hands were linked with a pale brown haired girl. There was something about both of them that was intriguing. He looked almost protective of her. One thing was for sure; they were in love. Not that sort of young love that never lasts; but the kind of ever-lasting love. As they kept walking they went under a ray of light. I swear to God I saw the pale boy's skin sparkle, as if his skin was a thousand diamonds. I shook that thought out of my head. I was probably just hungry. Yeah, that was it. I was just hungry.

My phone started to buzz in my jeans pocket. 'I hope it's Derek!' I thought to myself. I looked at the caller ID… sure enough, it was him. I smiled to myself. "It's him." I told Izzie and Christina. I answered the phone. "Hey Der." I said into my cell phone.

"Hey Mer. Anyways did you get my message that I left Iz?" He asked.

"Yeah she told me that you would be free for lunch. Right now Chris, Iz and I are hanging out at the mall. Do you wanna go to like P.F. Changs or something?"

"Yeah let's do that. Okay so I just have to finish up some paperwork and I'll be there in about twenty." He said. I smiled to myself. Last night was extremely and painfully awkward and I wanted to see him. Really badly.

"Sounds great. I can't wait to see you. I miss you." I told Derek honestly.

"Aww Honey, I miss you too. I'll see you soon. Love you."

"Love you too." And with that I hung up the phone. Izzie put a hand on my forehead.

"Are you like sick or something? You're all like Bright and Shiny." Izzie commented.

"I know, where is the Meredith that we know and what have you done with her?" Christina asked.

"I don't know! One second I hate him and the next second all I wanted to do is be with him! It's exhausting!" I explained to them.

"Aww Meredith you in love!" Izzie said.

Christina and I both looked at her like she was high. "No really Izzie, I'm in love? Well no freaking way! I mean, I've only been married for a year!"

"No I mean really in love." Izzie said.

"Listen Iz, I don't follow. I only know 'like' and 'love'. There is nothing higher than 'love'" Christina said to Izzie. I nodded in agreement.

"There is something higher than love. It's called love." Izzie said.

As we were walking by Marc Jacobs' we saw Carlisle, Esme and what I was guessing, their teenage girls.

"Is that Carlisle?" I asked them. They nodded in response.

"We should go say hi!" Izzie said excitedly. Christina and I looked at her uneasily. "Oh come on guys, we only just have to say hi."

Just then Carlisle noticed us and walked out of the expensive store. "Hey guys. Day off?" He asked us.

"Yeah, you?" I asked in return.

"Yeah sadly. A lot of times on my days off my daughters make me take them shopping. That's them in there." He said pointing at a girl with short black hair and a blonde one with beautiful long hair. Next to the blonde one, the black haired one looked really short. "The black haired one, that's Alice and the blonde one is Rosalie. My other kids are around here somewhere, but Ally and Rose needed my credit card." He said with a chuckle.

"Well that's good." Izzie said. You said that Rose was your niece right?" Izzie asked.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Well I can tell where she gets her blonde hair from." Izzie commented.

"Yeah, my brother and his wife were both blondies. I used to make fun of them all the time saying that they were a Blonde family, although Esme's hair used to be more blonde than it is now."

Esme and their two daughters walked out of Marc Jacobs. The two girls were each holding a large Marc Jacobs' shopping bag, a Louis Vuitton shopping back and a Jimmy Choo shopping bag.

Wow, these people must be loaded! That probably coasted the Cullen's at least ten thousand dollars. "Hi Izzie, Meredith and Christina!" Esme said cheerfully.

"Hey Esme. How are you doing today?" I asked her kindly.

"Great, you?"

"Couldn't be better!" I responded.

"Alice, Rosalie I would like you to meet some of my friends at the hospital. This is Meredith, Izzie and Christina." Carlisle introduced.

"Hi!" Alice said. She was so bubbly, she could fit right in with Izzie.

"Hey, it's nice to actually meet normal doctors." Rosalie said. Rose was beautiful. She had perfect wavy hair and the prettiest golden eyes that matched Carlisle's.

"Rose…" Esme warned.

"Oh come on, have you met some of Carlisle's friends? They are so weird!" Rose said.

"Rose, dad's friends aren't that weird." Alice responded.

We started to talk to the Cullen's until Rose and Alice left to put their bags in the car and to continue going shopping. Carlisle gave him his credit card. Some father he is…

"So we're all going to P.F. Changs and were going to meet up with Derek there. You wanna come with us?" I asked Carlisle and Esme.

"Sure we'd love to come along." Carlisle said.

We all walked to P. F. Changes together. Carlisle and Esme were holding hand. It was a really cute sight. They looked like they were those college sweet hearts. Actually they looked like they could still be in college. Looking at them now, they look pretty young, like in the low twenties.

Once we got to the restaurant we put in our names and sat down. It was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. Soon after we all sat down Derek arrived. As I saw him walk in my heart started to race. 'Was I really this nervous to see my husband?' I asked myself.

As he was right in front of our table I stood up and gave him a hug. "I missed you so much today." I mumbled into his chest.

His arms wrapped around my waist as he replied "I missed you too."

"Really Grey? You just saw him like a few hours ago!" Christina said.

Derek and I both sat down next to each other. "So Derek, how was your day so far?" I asked.

"Boring, all I did was paperwork and go in and out of meetings." Derek said.

"Aww, well that's too bad." I said to him. Izzie smirked at me and Christina was shaking her head.

"You little softy." Christina said to me.

Carlisle's phone started to buzz. "Sorry I got a text message." He said as he was reading the message. He read the message out loud in a confused voice. "Do blondes really have more fun?" He looked up from his phone. "I'm confused…"

"Who's it from?" Esme asked.

"Emmett..." He replied. He looked around, but then saw his son standing in the window smiling and waving. "Well this will be a crash and burn…" He mumbled. "Sorry, my son Emmett can be a little… I don't know, weird at times." His oldest black-haired son walked around into the restaurant.

"Hey Dad, Jasper and I are heading out now." Emmett said to Carlisle.

Carlisle introduced Emmett, as another one of his children. Emmett greeted everyone with a smile and twinkling eyes. Emmett left us shortly after to go home. I imagined that the Cullens have a huge home, considering what he could afford.

"Nice kid." Derek complimented.

"Yeah, he really is a great kid." Carlisle agreed.

Derek looked at me knowingly. He probably had the same thought in his head. We hoped for the best in our child. Although still unborn, we still wanted the best.
