"How are you feeling?" Meredith asked Lexie as she walked up to her bed.

"I've been better. The contractions are getting closer. Where's Derek?" Lexie asked between breathes.

"He's outside the room." Meredith answered.

"Did you guys make up?" Lexie asked.

"You don't need to be worrying about that right now. Concentrate on that baby." Meredith knew Lexie she wouldn't stop asking.

"I will not stop worrying about you. You are my sister. I love you Meredith. You need to go and talk to Derek." Lexie wanted to see a smile on her sister's face again.

"I'll talk to him later. You are going to have a baby. I want to be with you." she squeezed her hand.

"You listen to me. I will not have this baby until you and Derek are back together. I will not push until you come back and tell me that everything is alright between the two of you." Lexie yelled.

"Your kidding right?" Meredith asked.

"Go talk to your husband. Don't come back until you guys are done talking." Lexie yelled pointing at the door.

Meredith knew that Lexie wouldn't stop yelling until she left. She shook her head at her and walked out of the room.

Meredith walked over to George "Your wife has problems. Where did Derek go?" she asked looking around.

"He needed some air. Go find him Meredith he needs you." George said.

"Okay I'll be back. Call me if she needs anything." Meredith gave him a quick hug and walked away.

Meredith walked outside. She figured he had walked outside after telling George that he needed air. She walked over to the park in front of the hospital. She spotted Derek right away sitting on the bench. She didn't know what to say to him. She didn't want to talk right now but she had to for Lexie.

Derek sat on the bench looking down at the ground. He was having a hard time breathing. This should be a happy occasion. His sister in law was having a baby. Instead his heart was breaking and his mind was a mess. He stood up to stretch his legs and spotted Meredith walking towards him.

Meredith walked toward Derek. "Breath Meredith." she whispered to herself. She walked up and stood next to him.

Derek looked at Meredith. He really looked at her and realized she still looked like the woman he fell in love with.

Meredith didn't know what to say. "Hey" she whispered.

"Hey" he whispered back at her. He didn't know what to do so he sat back down.

Meredith sat down next to him. She looked at the kids playing in the sandbox. "I miss having little one's running around." she said.

Derek stared at her. He knew she was fighting for the right words to say. "What are we going to do Meredith. I mean are you giving up on me?" he was having trouble breathing.

Meredith didn't know how to answer his question. She should have thought of the right words to say to him. "We both messed up Derek. I'm tired and I don't know if I have the strength to keep fighting for us." she admitted.

Derek didn't know what to say. The words she spoke felt like a stab to his heart. "You expect me to be perfect Meredith. I know that I made you feel like you weren't important to me. I know that you questioned my love. I am here now telling you that I love you that I need you. I don't know what else to do to prove myself." he was so angry with her.

Meredith couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She wiped her face. "I love you Derek." she cried.

Derek looked at her and saw the tears falling from her eyes. He stood up and pulled her off of the bench. He took her into his arms. "I came upstairs last night after you fell asleep. I couldn't leave the room I just sat there and watched you sleep. I kept thinking that I would rather listen to you sleep than to not see you at all. I love you and I will never stop. I will not give up on us. I will not let you give up on us." he pulled her close.

Meredith fell against him. She was home in his arms she couldn't deny it any longer. He was her soul mate. He was the love of her life. She felt over whelmed with sadness and finally broke down and cried like a baby.

Derek felt Meredith break. She started crying it was all it took for his heart to melt "Oh Meredith I love you. Please believe me I LOVE YOU." he whispered into her ear.

Meredith looked up into his eyes. For the first time in a long time she could see the love he had for her in his eyes. She breathed it all in.

He watched her waiting for her to realize that he loved her. "I am nothing without you Meredith Grey Shepherd." he ran his fingers through her hair.

Lets waste time

Chasing Cars

Around our heads

I need your Grace

To remind me

To find my own

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

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect Eyes

There all I can see.

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things

Will never change

For us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

"I love you Derek. I could never imagine my life without you either. My heart broke when I left you. Please forgive me I am so sorry. I should have never packed up and left you and the kids." she cried.

Derek pulled her back into his arms. He didn't want to let go of her. He wanted to hold her forever. "I should have done something. I knew that something was going on with you. I thought that if I didn't say anything we would be okay. I was afraid if I talked to you that it would be over between us. I love you and I promise to never let you feel that way ever again." he said holding onto her. He wouldn't let her go this time.

"I want to stay until Lexie get's out of the hospital. After she goes home I want you to take me home." she was ready to go home. "I can do that. I love you." he said as he leaned in and kissed her.

A/N: Okay so I hope everyone enjoyed this story. I know that this was a short story but I really enjoyed writing this. I am thinking about writing a sequel. The sequel would go back in time and tell the story about how they got married and how everyone else got together. R/R tell me your ideas..

Thanks to everyone who read the story.
