Chapter 6

Derek's pov

So…here I am. My dream has finally coming true…

My wife (!) smiles at me over morning coffee and I grin. We look like two students after a hot prom night. A sigh of utter contentment escapes my throat.

"You have no idea how happy I am," I say to Meredith. She smiles and holds my eyes captive with hers while she stands and walks towards me. Straddling my lap, she plants a serious kiss on my lips, "Not half as happy as I am!" My hands gently massage her back, rubbing softly in circular motions. When I get to the small of her back, she sighs, "Mmm…I little lower!"

I grin but continue my massage. As my hands reach the elastic band of her pajama shorts, I stop to look at her but she just smiles and puts her head on my shoulder, "A little longer…please," she begs. She puts her arms around my neck and squirms on my lap, causing the bulge in my sweats to react. I moan softly and she smiles, looking up.

"Wanna go upstairs?" she asks innocently.

"And just what are we going to do up there?" I tease. Meredith's radiant smile, kisses and lap-squirming tell me everything I need to know about her intentions. I smile but grab her hand. Together we hurry upstairs. In the bedroom, I let go of her but she grabs my hand and pulls me towards the bathroom.

…..

Meredith lets water flow over her face, while I stand behind her. As we stand under the spray together, I wrap my arms around her waist and hold on tightly. I dip my head into the space between her neck and shoulder, running the tip of my nose along her collarbone. She reaches back, holding the nape of my neck, sighing contentedly. I grab a washcloth and start washing her. When I'm done, she takes the cloth from my hand and returns the favor. The moment, her hand touches my skin, I'm instantly hard. All, she has to do is look up at me with her eyes and I want her. Without a word, I grab her hips and lift her up against the shower wall. I lean over to kiss her as I slip effortlessly into her. I bury myself in her over and over again. We move silently, slowly in tandem, lost in the feeling of our joint movements and our orgasms are a slow, passionate burst, together.

After turning off the spray, I grab a towel to gently dry her off. As we're both in the process of getting dressed, the doorbell sounds loudly and we both almost jump at the shrilling sound. I put a t-shirt over my head before running down the stairs.

Meredith's pov

I make my way to the kitchen where I hear muffled voices, wondering who's calling this early when suddenly, the door swings open and 'Whoa'; Derek's mom stands in front of me.

"MEREDITH!" She calls out, "Welcome to the Shepherd family!" The next moment, I'm being enveloped in her strong arms. I stare at Derek awestruck, my heart soaring in my chest but he simply shrugs his shoulders as his mom hugs me even tighter.

"I'm so happy you two are finally married," she says, clapping her hands in approval. "It's a pity though you've kept it small. I would have loved giving you a real wedding!"

"Mom…please?" Derek sighs wearily but he can't hide the amused expression on his face.

"So mom?" Derek says slowly after a while, "How long are you staying?"

I look at my mom-in law, waiting for an answer, because I'm genuinely curious.

"Er…that depends," Carolyn smiles as she looks at us hopefully. Derek chuckles beside me but I dismiss it as I hurry to say, "You're welcome to stay Mrs. Shepherd…for as long as you want!"

"My children call me mom," Derek's mom pauses for a moment, "…and my friends call me Carolyn. You can call me whatever you want, dear!"

"OK…Mrs. She…Carolyn." I smile shyly.

Derek's pov

When my mom is settled in the guest room, I enter our bedroom to find Meredith there, putting on a pair of jeans and a nice T-shirt. I go behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, sweetly kissing her neck.

"...Don't you mind…my mom being here?"

Meredith turns around in my arms and stares at me with a certain glow in her eyes. I can't quite tell what it is…Resentment? Anger? Love? I don't know but she wraps her arms around me and kisses me. I moan into her mouth at the suddenness, wrapping my arms around her neck and pulling our bodies as close together as I can. When, she breaks the kiss, she cups my face and says, "She's your mom, Derek. She has every right to be here. You almost died…and you told her she didn't have to come. What I want to say here is…your mom has every right to be here!"

I stare at Meredith in awe for a while, not being able to wrap my head around how she's grown since we are together. She smiles at me, taking both of my hands in hers, leaning forward to kiss me. When she lets go of me, she turns and walks towards the door,

"I go and see if your mom is settled in…OK?"

I nod before I sit down on the bed, sighing contentedly. My life is perfect. My wife is perfect!

Meredith's pov

Lifting my hand, I knock lightly on the guest room door with the backs of my fingers, "Mrs. She…Carolyn? Can I come in?"

There is a short pause and then I hear her voice, "Come in…the door's open."

I push down the door handle and step inside the guest room.

"Hi, Meredith." Derek's mom smiles briefly waving at me with a friendly twinkle in her eyes. I notice her eyes quickly drift down my body in what I hope is an appreciate glance.

"Do you have everything you need?" I ask…"…we do have extra blankets!"

"No dear…I'm fine. I'm not a cold person. I guess…it's a Shepherd thing…We're never cold," she chuckles.

I smile, slightly blushing because I know she's right. I'm freezing all the time while Derek's always warm. It works best in bed because when we snuggle, he warms me up and I cool him down but before I get to comment, the guest room door opens and Derek steps inside.

"The hospital just called, "Nelson is separating Siamese twins. Richard wants…,"

"…Derek? You're not operating…are you? You're not strong enough for such a complicated surgery," I interrupt him.

Derek takes a few steps forward and strokes my hair, "Don't worry…I don't operate. Richard wants me up in the gallery to observe Nelson…instruct him…if necessary," Derek hurries to say.

"OK," I sigh wearily. I'd rather have Derek home but he has to return to the hospital some time and I know he's anxious to get back. I give him a quick peck on his cheek but he suddenly pulls me back and kisses me tenderly on the lips. A soft blush creeps on my cheeks and I push him away, slightly annoyed because I'm being embarrassed so easily. Derek grins and gives him mom a peck on the cheek, "See my two favorite women tonight, OK?"

…..

Derek's mom sits at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and leafing through the Seattle Times. Siamese twins looking forward to separation, the front page screams. Opening the cabinet doors, I scour the boxes of cereal for the one I like, wondering if I even remembered to pick it up. Of course, I haven't. Nothing but Derek's favorite fiber squares and disgusting marshmallow cereals, Alex likes so much. I sigh. Is it so hard to remember Cheerios? Without thinking, I slam the cabinet doors with a satisfying bang. Carolyn jerks her head up and looks at me. Her brown, kind eyes register my foul mood.

"You OK dear?" she calmly says.

I sigh and explain I have forgotten to pick up my favorite cereal. Derek's mom smiles understandingly, while I grab a bagel from the table and chew it slowly, keeping an eye on the clock. What would Derek be doing right now?

I look up startled as I feel how Derek's mom grips my hand, "How was it Meredith?"

"How was what?" I swallow hard because I know what she's asking me. I sigh and sit down. My mind has trouble processing my thoughts because the event she wants me to remember is still too shocking…too horrible.

That day…yes that was the day everything went wrong…

I clear my throat and start talking slowly…softly. I tell Derek's mom everything…from my pregnancy test, to the many deaths, Derek's shooting and…eventually the miscarriage. At the thought of it, my stomach suddenly heaves again and again, and I shake, painfully aware of my loss. I clasp my hands in front of my face when a cool hand presses a soft piece of material to my brow. I open my eyes and peer into deep brown ones. Derek's mom hands me a tissue.

"Shhh," she murmurs. "I'm here."

I shake my head, very aware of the shame I feel at being in such a vulnerable position in front of Derek's mom.

"I wanted it so much," I wheeze before transcending into a fit of dry heaves.

"Shhh," Carolyn says again, a look of sympathy on her warm face. "I know dear…I know!" Carolyn wraps an arm around me and after a while, the shaking stops and I can breathe again.

"I love you like a daughter Meredith. Tell me you know that?"

Her kind words bring tears to my eyes again but I slowly nod.

"Derek and you. You will have children eventually. I know…no I feel it!" Carolyn hugs me tighter and just at that moment Derek steps in to the kitchen, his eyes worried.

"What is it Meredith?"

I can't speak and instead I let out a long, keening cry. He's is near me in a heart beat wrapping his arms around me.

Derek's pov

My mom quickly explains how Meredith has told her everthing about the day I was shot. I shake my head and lay a hand on her shoulder, gently turning her around. When I see her eyes, I feel a burning sensation in my chest.

"Oh sweetheart," I murmur lowly.

Meredith's eyes are red and puffy from crying and when I pull her into my arms she cries. My mom shakes her head, her gaze on my face.

"You both should take some time off. You got shot Derek…and you almost died. Meredith has lost your child. You two should really take the time to overcome this!"

My mom shrugs and steps closer, curling her arms around us and for a moment I feel lighter than I can ever remember feeling.

"I love you children and I'm always there when you need me," she whispers. I hear Meredith murmur, "I love you too…Car…mom!" I smile because my mom is right and her advice is the best I've heard in a long…long time!
