Well so far only one review. But I felt that this chapter too adorable to wait for more reviews! Enjoy!

Meredith finished putting the last touches on herself and Ava, before they were off to Mark and Izzie's for Christmas Eve Dinner. Meredith and Derek were very excited this Christmas, because it was Ava's first Christmas. She put on her black heeled boots and started out of the room and downstairs. She walked into the living room to see Derek trying to teach Ava how to talk.

"Say Da." said Derek trying to coax Ava to say Daddy. Ava who looked she inherited Meredith's stubbornness just kept looking at him blankly as she sucked on her pacifier.

"Derek she's only seven months, I don't think she's going to be talking quite yet." said Meredith as she got on her wool pea coat.

"She's a smart baby I really think she'll do it." said Derek as Meredith shook her head and sighed taking Ava from Derek to put on her coat and hat.

"Say my Daddy's crazy." Meredith said as she put her into her car seat carrier.

"Ha Ha Very funny." said Derek as he lead them out the door.

"Okay time for some presents and coffee." said Izzie as she set the coffee pot on the table.

Meredith sighed take a large cup knowing she would need it. Derek and she had a long night ahead of them, with all the baby toys they had to put together Derek put his arm on the small of her back while holding Ava around the waist as she pulled on the tablecloth in front of her.

"Okay so everyone bought for their secret Santa, so I'll start by saying mine was Mark." said Izzie with a smile playing on her lips.

"Rigged Secret Santa." yelled Alex from the end of the table.

"Just because she got her husband doesn't mean its rigged." said George.

Izzie smiled as she handed him and a long square shaped velvet box. Mark looked confused as to what it could be. No woman would buy guy jewelry. He opened to reveal a long plastic positive pregnancy test. Mark looked at and then looked up at Izzie who was shaking her head up and down and smiling. Mark ran up to her and gave her a passionate kiss and hug. Everyone shouted out their congrats.

"Alright now that I've had my excitement, I'll give someone else their present. I had Meredith." said Mark as he handed Meredith a present.

Meredith opened it to reveal a shirt that said "Watch Out I'm An Ex Dirty Mistress." Meredith laughed and thanked Mark.

"Alright now that I have my present, I'll give my Secret Santa their present. And I had George." she said as she handed him the present.

George took it and opened it to reveal a complete season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, his favorite old TV show. He thanked Meredith and moved on to his Secret Santa.

"Alright I had Alex." said George and then continued to hand him a present.

Alex opened it to reveal book called "How To Be The Perfect Plastic Surgeon". He grinned and then thanked George.

"Well George told me what he was getting you so I have something to add to it." said Mark before handing Alex a manila folder.

Alex looked confused to what it could be but opened it and read what was inside. It said Face Transplant to be done on 12.28.10. It then listed a patient's name and medical records, and then at the bottom it said the surgeon to be performing the surgery Alex Karev.

"Wow dude you can't be serious." Alex said to Mark with a big goofy smile on his face.

"I'm supervising it but from the gallery. You're flying solo on this surgery. You're ready." said Mark.

Alex smiled and put the folder away. Well now that I have had my present. I'll give my Secret Santa Away. Mine was Derek." said Alex as he handed Derek an envelope.

Derek took the envelope and opened it to reveal two tickets to the Ferry Boat Show opening in Seattle this coming April.

"Thanks Alex." said Derek patting him on the back.

"Alright I will have to admit I didn't know what to buy for my Secret Santa." said Derek before handing an envelope to Cristina.

Cristina opened it to reveal a ticket to a Cardiology Convention next week in New York.

"Thanks Derek." Cristina said genuinely happy and excited. "All right my Secret Santa was Izzie."

Cristina reached underneath the table to reveal the "Cake Master 3000". Izzie immediately rushed up and hugged her.

"Wow I don't do hugs. Not even on Christmas."

Everyone laughed

Meredith handed Derek a screwdriver to finally put together the last of Ava's gifts. They had been working on this since they got home from Izzie's at midnight. It was almost three thirty in the morning. Both of them were exhausted beyond relief.

"Done" said Derek as he tossed down the screwdriver.

"Merry Christmas". said Meredith as they walked down the hall to their bedroom

Meredith's head hit the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

Meredith awoke three hours later to the sound of Ava crying. She sighed and nudged Derek.

"Wake up it's time for presents." she said before leaving the room to get Ava.

Derek sat up groggily and started towards the living room where Meredith and Ava were heading. They entered and Ava smiled and gurgled baby talk.

"Look at all the toys Santa got for you!" said Meredith as she put Ava down so she could explore all her new toys. Meredith and Derek each handed each other gifts and started unwrapping. A few hours later after all presents were opened Derek picked Ava up and sat her on his lap.

"Did you like all your presents Bear?" asked Derek to wards Ava.

Ava giggled and then pointed up at Derek with her little tiny finger and said,

"Da."

Derek smiled as Meredith laughed and said how proud she was of Ava. Derek smiled and truly though that was the best Christmas present ever.

Wasn't that sweet! Please review!
