Derek POV
"Well Allison can I ask you a few questions?" I asked looking into the four year olds eyes. She nodded so I asked, "Can I call you Ally or should I stick with Allison?"
"Ally." She replied.
"Okay what is your favorite color?" I asked.
"Pink, purple, or blue!" She replied full of enthusiasm.
I chuckled, "Okay. What is your favorite food?"
"I like pizza just like mommy." Ally said with a grin.
"Okay would you like to ask me questions Ally?" I asked.
"Yeah what is your favorite color?" she asked.
"Blue but not the light blue the indigo blue." I replied.
"What is your favorite food?" She asked.
"My favorite food is trout." I said.
"What is a trout?" She asked.
"It is a type of fish. I live on an island and when I catch a trout I cook it and eat it." I tell her. "I could take you fishing on my land when you are can feeling better just ask you mom."
"Mommy can we! Can we!" She asked Meredith.
"Of course we can we will do once you feel better." She told her. "Ally you should probably get some sleep." Meredith told her.
"Yeah goodnight mommy I love you. Good night Derek it was nice to meet you." She said.
"I love you too Ally. Sweet dreams." Meredith replied as she kissed her forehead.
"Good night Ally." I said. Meredith and I both left Ally's room to let her get to sleep and I said, "Hey Meredith."
"Yeah Derek?" She asked.
"I had a good time tonight. Maybe we could go out to my land and fish with Ally sometime." I said.
"That sounds great she will be so excited." She said.
"Goodnight Mer." I said.
"Goodnight Derek see you tomorrow." She replied. I nodded and she went into Ally's room and I said, "Wait! Um do you want to get something to eat at Joe's?"
"Sure why not." She said. She told the nurse to page her if Ally wakes up. We both walked across the street to Joe's side by side our hands grazing each other lightly once in a while. When we there I ordered two cheeseburgers and fries. When our food came I knew Meredith was hungry because she ate her cheeseburger so fast. I then said, "I really had a great time tonight Meredith."
"I did too we should do this again." She said.
"Yeah how about tomorrow night we could have dinner." I asked hoping it wasn't too soon.
"Yeah Ally just gets released in two days I can get Alex to watch her. What if you come over and we watch a movie and hangout?"
"Yeah oh here's my number." I say as I give her my number and we say good bye and we go our separate ways.
Meredith POV
I went down the cafeteria to get a coffee before I went back up to Ally's room. Once I got onto the pediatric floor I saw Arizona and said, "Hey Arizona!"
"Hey Meredith I was just going to check on Ally today and see how she is doing." She said. We walked up to Ally's room and I could tell that she was still in some pain so Arizona gave her some pain killers and her stitches were looking pretty good right now so I had Alex come in and watch her for a little bit while I went home and cleaned the house for later when Derek comes over. Once I got back to the house I made my bed and Alex's bed, since I was cleaning, I picked up all of the dirty laundry and put it in the laundry room, I vacuumed every room in the house, started to unpack Ally's things in her room, emptied and reloaded the dishwasher, I picked up the living room, and picked up my mom's office a little bit. Once I got back to the hospital I went and checked on Ally and Alex was in there reading her a story once I got in there I said, "Hi Ally!"
"Hi mommy Uncle Alex is reading me a story! Can you read me one tonight before bed?" She asked.
I suddenly felt really bad and said, "I can but I will have to read it to you a little earlier than usual because I am going to hangout with Derek."
"Oh okay." She said sadly.
"How about Derek and I come here and we can both read you a story and then I will go back home eat dinner with Derek and I will bring you some clothes for tomorrow because you get to go home tomorrow."
"Ok! Who will be here while you are gone?" She asked.
"Uncle Alex could be here or maybe Dr. Robbins you could ask her to read you a story or something." I told her. I then turned to Alex and said, "Okay I am going to meet Derek and then I will be gone for about an hour if I am not back page me." He nodded signaling he understood and I went to find Derek. Once I found him we drove to my house and I made spaghetti for dinner. After we ate Derek suggested, "Hey why don't we watch some TV or a movie?"
"Yeah just for a little bit, because I have to be back at the hospital." I told him. He nodded and we watched The Dark Knight and I leaned on to Derek's shoulder and closed my eyes for a few minutes and then felt his arm wrap around my waist and pull me closer to his chest. I then fell asleep and I woke up just as the credits were rolling. I said, "Crap!" When I realized I was supposed to be at the hospital with Ally. Then Derek started to stir and I said, "Hey Derek I was supposed to be at the hospital like an hour ago can you take me there?"
He then replied "Yeah sure!" Once we got to the hospital I was rushing off the peds floor when Derek stopped me he spun me around and kissed me. He then said, "Goodbye Meredith and call me." I just blushed and ran into Ally's room and Alex yelled, "Meredith where the hell have you been!"
"Alex shut up she is sleeping!" I whispered loudly. "I fell asleep on the couch."
"Oh sorry I thought someone kidnapped you or something." He said.
"It's fine." I replied.
We then heard a little voice ask, "Mommy?"
"Hi sweetie I am sorry Uncle Alex yelled." I said as I glared at Alex.
"It's ok." She said. I then got on the bed beside her and she curled into my side and fell back asleep and I fell asleep beside her. When we woke up in the morning Arizona gave me the discharge papers and I signed them and she said, "Okay now Ally has to rest for a few days and she has a checkup in a week to check her stitches." I nodded and then I helped Ally change and then we got into the car and went home. Once we got home I carried Ally inside and made her a spot on the couch and then we watched movies all day and when it was around dinner time I opened the door and saw Derek there and he said, "Hey I know Ally got discharged today and I wanted to bring her some dinner so I brought some chicken noodle soup."
"Thanks! Why don't you come in for a little bit I could use the company?" I said. He nodded and came inside and I told Ally, "We are going to in the kitchen for a little bit." She nodded but was too engrossed in her movie. Once we got in the kitchen I asked, "Do you want something to eat?"
"Sure." He said.
"I can make grilled cheese sandwiches." I said nervously. He nodded and I started to make them he then came up behind me and helped me flip them and he wrapped one arm around my waist and he took my hand and helped me flip them. He then said, "This is how you flip them the special Shepherd way."
I said, "Oh really." I then smirked at him and he turned me around and kissed me and we made out in the kitchen when I smelt something burning I turned around and saw that the grilled cheese was burning and took it off the burner and said, "Well I guess we will be having burnt grilled cheese for dinner."
"Oh that's my favorite how did you know?" He said sarcastically. I just laughed at him. He started to eat his sandwich and I looked at him with a gross look on my face and asked, "Why are you eating that?"
"Because it is food and I don't see anything sitting around." He replied.
"Well I am going to order a pizza if you are interested." I told him.
His face lit up and he said, "Really that sounds great! Your sandwiches were pretty good though." I just laughed at him while I called the pizza place and went into the living room and saw Ally asleep on couch and heard Derek come in and I told him, "I am going to take Ally upstairs." He nodded and I carried her upstairs and I decided to take her into my room and I laid her down on the bed and she said, "Mommy can you stay." I nodded and she latched onto my body until she fell asleep and I felt my eyes starting to get heavy and I woke up 20 minutes later to Derek saying, "The pizza was here."
I nodded and then said, "Derek can you stay?" He looked at me confused and then he slipped onto the bed and wrapped his arms around me and Ally and we fell asleep the pizza soon forgotten.
