I'm sorry for the very long wait, I have read all your reviews and have took the one about longer chapters on board and will try to.

They wanted to eat lunch with Lily but they did not want everyone staring at her so they left her at the day care and decided they would go out for dinner later together.

Christina sat down opposite Meredith and glared at her, Izzy sat opposite smiling away, Alex sat there admiring Mark and George just tagged along.

"Welcome back Mer, I've missed you. Your daughter is stunning, how have you been?" Izzy asked.

"Thanks Izzy, I've been good I moved to New York and I love it, sorry I haven't contacted any of you I have had no free time as you can see." Meredith answered; Mark put his arm on her knee to support her and to comfort her.

"I thought you were dead Mer due to not hearing from you and you leaving so sudden. Also plastics really? Boob jobs?" Christina said

"Sorry I was badly hurt I had to leave and it hurt too much to remind myself of Seattle. Hey plastics is brilliant and I now understand why Alex loved it, it's not just boob jobs it's so much more." Meredith exclaimed knowing it would take a while to gain Christiana's trust again.

"I've missed you Mer" George said,

"Me to" Alex piped in.

Meredith could feel the awkward atmosphere and looked down at her warning her it was time to go.

"Sorry guys we have to go. I missed you all to." Meredith said while standing up and watching mark put their rubbish in the bin.

Walking upstairs to the patient's room, they could still see the nurses whispering as always the nurses were still the same. Mark pulled her into the nearest On call room and pinned her to the wall, kissing her and removing her clothes, Meredith caught on and started removing his clothes, she felt his bulge and she was also hungry for him. Mark started kissing her all over and she started calling for him to "stop" the fore play and to enter her, she shouted his name louder when he entered her and you could hear the pleasure in both of their voices. "Well thank you Mr Sloan, another great performance, but I think we may be late for the meeting if we are not quick." Meredith whispered while her head was resting on Mark's shoulder.

"You may be right but I don't care, it was worth it and how was I going to get through the whole meeting without undressing you with my eyes if I did not do it beforehand."

"Good idea I much prefer you undressing me with your hands than your eyes."

"Second round?"

"No, pass my bra and get dressed!"

"Here you go; I much prefer you without it on."

They got dressed in minutes and they both looked the same as before two very well dressed doctors, no one would know what happened in the on call room. Except for if you looked at Marks eyed full with love and desire and Meredith mouth smiling away. They may be married but they were still as in love as they had been when they first met.

Sneaking out of the on call room so they were not seen, Addison walked past them you could see the jealousy seeping out, her hair was stringy and her clothes did not fit like they did last time, she didn't have that wow look anymore she just looked hurt and bored, they loved that in New York they didn't have people gossiping about them luckily the patients room was close and they walked in with Mark's hand on the small of Meredith's back both close together, obviously happy and confident such a contrast to the other doctors in the room who were glum and tired. They stood at the edge of the patient's bed waiting for the chief to speak.

"Now that's everyone is here, we can talk about how we will proceed in your operation Daniel, Derek would you like to start us off" The chief said.

"Of course chief, Hello Daniel my name is Doctor Shepherd and I will be removing the tumour first, I will split the blood vessel apart so it will starve the tumour of oxygen therefore it will die and then I will gently cut out the tumour." Derek said showing no passion for his surgical field.

"Is there a risk of cutting parts of his brain away?" Daniel's Dad asked.

"Of course there is a risk but i will try my hardest to stop that from happening"

"If it does happen what are the implications of it?"

"He could lose his short term or long term memory; He could lose his speech, his movement..."

"But Derek is one of the best, he wouldn't cut the brain." Meredith piped in scared for the parents who would be clearly overwhelmed with what they just had heard, Meredith felt for them as a parent she knew how hard it would be and Derek showed no care or emotion she glared at him to show he needed to be careful with what he said to scared parents. Mark gave her a squeeze knowing how she was starting to care for this young child and was worried for him.

An aerie silence came over the room, the parents were apprehensive of the surgery and obviously scared so Mark took over the talking of what would also happen in the surgery to improve the parents confidence in the surgery he hated doing such serious surgeries on children since Lily was born he scared him that it could one day be him there.

"So he won't lose his skin on his forehead even though the tumour is attached to it?" The mother asked.

"No as we have grown a replacement for him so he won't look much different than before and can go back to being a normal child a few weeks after the surgery." Mark said

"The surgery will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be a long 10 hour surgery so prepare yourself for the long wait." Meredith explained.

The parents both smiled and you could see they liked how caring Mark was and Meredith was proud of how much Mark had changed into such an amazing person.

Meredith and Mark left the room and they could both see Derek scowling at them and they didn't care, they were happy and had a family.

They quickly collected Lily from day care and drove to a local restaurant for dinner and then went home to bed. They were both exhausted and could see Lily was to, Meredith got Lily ready for bead and Mark read her a bed time story, they had a routine. They both fell into bed and Meredith moved close into Mark and he moved his arm around her until there was no space between them.

Both of them falling asleep in seconds.
