Meredith walked downstairs. Her head was pounding and she couldn't remember how she got here. The last thing that she could remember was moving to the other side of the bar. She shouldn't have been drinking she knew better. She walked into the kitchen she needed some coffee.
Derek walked in the kitchen and found Meredith standing at the counter with her back to him. He walked over and swirled her around. He didn't give her a chance to pull away. He wrapped his arms around her. "I have missed you so much. I love you Meredith how could you think otherwise?" he kissed her.
Meredith couldn't believe that Derek was here. She felt warm in his arms. "What are you doing here?" she asked pushing him away.
"I came to get my wife. How's your head?" he didn't want to stop looking at her. She was beautiful. "Meredith I am in love with you. You are the only woman who can make my heart stop and skip a beat. I am sorry that I have made you feel like I stopped loving you." he wiped the tear that fell from her eyes.
"I don't know Derek. Our life has become such a routine. At some point you stopped talking to me. At some point I stopped listening. I want to be a great mother but I think that I need to be in the operating room again. I miss it and I miss standing next to you while you perform life saving surgeries. We use to be a team and I miss that." she walked over and sat down at the table.
"We are a team Meredith. That is what a marriage is. I want you beside me in the O.R. I am sorry I just thought that you enjoyed staying home." he sat down next to her.
"I love you. I hate that it took me leaving for you to notice me. That's what hurts the most. I tried so many times to tell you. Goodness Derek I cried myself to sleep almost every night." she cried.
George ran into the kitchen "Lexie is in labor" he yelled.
Meredith jumped up off the chair "We have to get her to the hospital. George go call the hospital let them know that she's on the way." Meredith said.
Derek stood up and reached for Meredith's arm. "Are we going to be okay?" he knew it wasn't the time to ask.
"I don't know. I better help Lexie." she said walking out of the kitchen.
Derek ran his hand over his face. He followed Meredith out of the kitchen.
Lexie sat on the couch attempting to put her shoes on.
Meredith walked over to her "Let me help." she sat down and tied her shoes.
"I'll get the car ready." Derek said walking towards the door.
Meredith watched Derek walk out of the house.
"Did you guys make up?" Lexie asked.
"Don't worry about us right now. Your going to have a baby." Meredith helped Lexie off of the couch.
George ran into the living room "Let's go" he said rushing the two out of the house.
Meredith and Derek stood outside of hospital room. Meredith was nervous for Lexie. She could tell that her sister was nervous.

We do it all
Everything
On our own.
We don't need
Anything or anyone
Derek watched Meredith pace around the hallway. There was still so much that they had to say to one another. He hated standing next to her and not being able to hold her. He was afraid of losing her.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
"Mer would you like to get something to eat?" he asked.
Meredith looked at Derek. She could see the pain in his eyes. She wanted to run into his arms and take his pain away.
"I'm fine" she said.
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said to much
And not enough
Derek knew she wasn't fine. She was feeling the same pain that he was feeling. He needed her in his arms. "It might take a little while to get her situated. We could go and finish our conversation. I want to fix "us". I want to hold you in my arms." he walked closer to her.

Those three words

And not enough
Meredith didn't have the strength to talk right now. She was actually relieved that Lexie went into labor. It would give them both time to figure out what they wanted. She wanted to be with Derek but she was afraid. "I better stay close. We can talk later okay."
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what were told
Before we get to old
Show me your garden
That's bursting into life
Derek wanted to scream that it wasn't okay. That there marriage should be top priority. "I understand" he lied. Why didn't she want to finish there talk.
George walked out of Lexie's room. "Meredith she wants you in there." he said holding the door open for her.
Meredith walked towards Lexie's room. She turned back and looked at Derek "I'm sorry" she whispered as she walked into the room.
Derek shook his head and started walking away.
George ran after Derek "Hey stop" he yelled.
Derek stopped and turned around "I don't know why I came. She's not going to come back with me." he didn't want to admit the truth even though he knew he was losing her.
"Derek she loves you. I know she almost lost in on the beach the other day. Just give her time." George hated seeing his friends in this situation.
"That's the problem I gave her to much time. I knew something was wrong. I kept thinking if I gave her space she would be okay. Now I don't know what to do. I have told her so many times today that I love her and yet she's having a hard time believing me." he didn't like feeling like he was losing control.
"Tell her again. Make her listen to you." he said.
"Your talking about Meredith." he laughed.
"I know who I am talking about. I also know that she loves you." he said.
"I have to get out of here for awhile. I need some air." Derek turned and walked away.
