He took her to his property next. He made sure she kept her eyes closed until they were out of the car and standing in front of his trailer, which was covered in lights shining brighter than the moon. Finally, he instructed her to open her eyes. She giggled and her eyes fluttered open, a soft gasp escaping her lips as her mouth fell open.

"Oh, my god!" She cried, her hands covering her mouth as she turned to look at him. The light shining from the trailer reflected off of her eyes and illuminated her face, making her entire body seem to glow.

The trailer had been surrounded by bright lights, with roses scattered across the porch and attached to the lights. Through the windows, Meredith could see that the entire inside of the trailer had been decorated and covered in roses as well. A line of candles led into the trees, disappearing out of her sight.

"Come with me," Derek said, taking her hand and leading her toward the candle trail. She stared back at the trailer and then looked ahead at the candles, a smile taking over her face. She lifted her dress to keep it from brushing the ground and followed him, struggling to keep up with her heels on the uneven soil.

"You could have told me we were coming to the great outdoors, and I wouldn't have worn heels!" She giggled as they weaved through the trees, the warm light from the candles casting soft shadows across the entire forest. Finally, they emerged and Meredith saw the candles leading to the edge of a hill, creating a large circle at the end. Derek led her so that they were both standing in the circle and placed his hands on her hips so that she was facing the edge of the cliff.

From the top of the hill, she could see the entire city. Buildings reached up into the sky as if they could touch the stars. Beyond the city, ferryboats glided peacefully across the water, their light reflecting off of the sound, sending waves of brightness over the entire city like a second sunset. The city was peaceful, with only a few cars lingering on the roads and no police cars or ambulances speeding through the streets. Derek wrapped his arms around her from the back, his head resting on her shoulder as he inhaled her scent slowly.

"It's beautiful." She said, tears flooding to her eyes. He turned so that he was standing in front of her, holding both of her hands in his.

"Meredith... I love you. More than words could ever describe. When I'm with you, it's like everything is brighter. You're everything to me. I can't imagine ever spending another minute of my life not being with you. You... you. You complete me. You're my better half. You inspire me. You give me the strength to do everything that I do. I feel like I can do anything when I'm with you. You give me life." He cried, staring down into her eyes, which had overflowed with tears.

"Oh, my god... Derek..." She said softly, a shocked smile on her face. He let go of her hands and she held them over her mouth as he took a velvet box out of his pocket and knelt down on one knee in front of her. He smiled up at her as she laughed shakily.

"Meredith Grey... I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you make me the happiest neurosurgeon on this planet... and be my wife?" He asked, tears flooding to his own eyes as he flipped open the box. Meredith smiled at him, tears coating her face.

"Yes! Yes, Derek, yes!" She practically screamed, grabbing his face as he stood up and pulling him against her. He placed his hand on her cheek and kissed her, filled with pure ecstasy. They pulled away moments later and he slipped the ring onto her finger, smiling as it fit perfectly. Her hands dropped around his neck and he smiled down at her.

"There's one more thing." He said. She raised her eyebrows.

"Does it have to do with you, me, and the bed in your trailer?" She smirked, looking back at the trail of candles leading through the woods.

"Possibly..." He said tauntingly, taking her hand in his again. This time, she led him through the trees, both of them giggling madly as they dashed around the candles like teenagers. They emerged from the forest and sprang up the steps of the trailer, their bodies already intertwined. He reached behind him and threw open the door, allowing them both to stumble into the cramped trailer and slam the door behind them. They both kicked their shoes off and Meredith wasted no time in ripping the jacket of his suit off and pulling the tie over his head, discarding both of them to the floor and he pulled them both down onto the bed.

He unzipped her dress and pulled it down her body, exposing the small bump in her abdomen where their child was growing. She unbuttoned his shirt, slipping it quickly off of his shoulders and throwing it on the ground. Her fingers gripped the waistband of his pants and pulled them down his legs so that they were both in their underwear. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss as she lay on top of him, feeling his skin against hers and running his hands all over her body.

They did not leave the trailer until very late the next morning.
