One Week Later
Meredith rolled over onto her back for the third time that night since they had gotten home. Home sounding slightly strange, considering that this was the first time they were staying in the house. The mattress felt different then her old one. More stiff, not warm and cushiony like the old one. It also didn't help that Meredith's stomach was grumbling every fifty seconds.
"Mere?" asked Derek sleepily as he turned onto his side slipping his arm around her waist. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I'm fine go back to sleep." said Meredith as she sat up pulling the covers back as she slipping on a ratty pair of flip-flops to walk downstairs in. " I'm going to go raid the fridge, see if Izzie did a good job doing our grocery shopping."
"Okay." mumbled Derek as he moved slightly on the pillow. "Hurry back."
Meredith smiled slightly as she left their master and headed into their kitchen. She still couldn't believe this was her kitchen. It really was a shame she couldn't cook. Izzie had almost died when she saw it, begging to use it. So in exchange to breaking it in for them while they were gone, she did all their grocery shopping. Meredith opened the fridge to see unfamiliar sights in front of her. Vegetables she had never seen, or so she though they were vegetables. Expensive high quality items that both she and Derek would never eat.
"Izzie." mumbled Meredith with a frustrated sigh as she closed the refrigerator door. So much for eating something. She sighed and went to the cabinet pulling out a glass, to take some water from. She slowly filled the glass with tap water. She slowly turned around.
"Nothing good in the fridge?" asked Derek's voice.
Meredith jumped slightly startled, dropping the glass and hearing it crash onto the floor in a million pieces.
"Oh shit." swore Meredith as she bent down reaching to pick it up. She grabbed the big pieces dumping them on a paper towel she had grabbed. She then swatted Derek's chest. "Look what you made me do." said Meredith as she picked up any pieces you could see.
'I'm sorry." said Derek as Meredith turned her body slightly to throw the glass away under the sink. "Will you forgive me?" asked Derek with a mock put and sly smile.
"Maybe" said Meredith as she kissed his lips gently.
"Come on, let's go back to bed." said Derek as kissed her and then pulled away walking. He expected Meredith to follow him and looked back when she didn't.
"Ow." said Meredith as she stepped down on her foot.
"What's wrong?" asked Derek as he walked back over to her.
"Something hurts in my foot when I put pressure on it." said Meredith. "Flip that light on for me." said Meredith as Derek reached under the cabinet to the wall and flipped on the light. They both looked down at Meredith's foot to see a noticeably big piece of glass stuck deep in her foot. Meredith groaned as she hung her head down. "Perfect."
"I'll go get the medical kit in the closet." said Derek as he quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Meredith sighed as she limped her way over to the table where she rested her foot on one of the chairs. Moments later Derek returned with a white box.
"We actually have one of those?" questioned Meredith with a laugh.
"We do indeed. For these specific purposed." said Derek with a grin as he opened and reached inside to grab the medical tweezers. He held her foot as he gently tried to pull the deep piece of glass out.
"Ow, Ow Derek stop that doesn't feel right." said Meredith as she bit her lip at the pain she was feeling. "I don't think plastic medical tweezers or regular tweezers are going to cut it."
"You're right, I think you're going to need stitches too, when they've pulled it out." said Derek. "Looks like we're making a late nigh trip to emergency room.
"What great way to start our lives together."

Meredith sighed as Derek carried her into the emergency room. He insisted on carrying her in, so she didn't do more damage. She had to admit that was very husband-like and all. They entered the emergency room to see Dr. Bailey look from doing charts.
"Dr Shepherd? Dr Grey?" asked Miranda Bailey as she closed her chart. "What on earth are the two of you doing?"
"Grey-Shepherd." said Meredith as Derek set her down on one of the cots.
"What?" asked Miranda as she walked over to them.
"I'm not just Grey anymore." said Meredith.
"Right, well what happened?" asked Miranda
"I accidently startled her and she dropped a glass on the floor and partially her foot. I would have taken it out myself, but it's in too deep for tweezers." said Derek speaking for Meredith.
"Alright let me get forceps and a suture kit." said Miranda to an intern who immediately raced off to get them and returned moments later. Alright now Meredith I need you to hold your foot very still." said Miranda as she lifted her foot onto a tray. She then took the forceps and gently pulled the glass out. She immediately held gauze to the blood that came out of where the glass was. "Yep this going to definitely need a few stitches."
Meredith groaned as Derek held out his hand to her." I know how much you hate needles." said Derek.
Meredith smiled gratefully as she took hold of Derek's hand as Miranda began to suture the cut. Meredith winced slightly on the first one, but then managed to handle the pain.
"A doctor who's afraid of needles?" joked Miranda. "I imagine that's not good. Derek if you're both okay for you to leave for a minute you just have to put your signature on a form."
"You'll be okay?" asked Derek as he looked at Meredith. She nodded with a small smile. Derek pressed a kiss to her forehead and pulled the curtain to go to the main desk.
"Don't you ever let him get away." said Miranda.
"What?" asked Meredith surprised to hear the once proclaimed "Nazi" talking with her about her marriage.
"You heard me." said Miranda as she started to wrap a bandage around her foot. Derek then re-appeared carrying a bag.
"Hey you were gone for like ten minutes what happened?" asked Meredith.
Derek smiled slyly as he pulled a tub of Bryer's Strawberry Ice Cream. Meredith gasped and smiled.
"Thank you. How'd you know?" asked Meredith as Miranda walked away giving them some privacy.
"Well you were up in the kitchen, getting something because you were hungry. And your stomach grumbling could be heard down the hall." said Derek with a laugh as Meredith pulled him down for a kiss. " I take it I did well?"
"Very well. You deserve the best husband award."
