Author's note: Whoa haven't updated in a long time. Sorry. I'll try to update some of my other older stuff too.

"I thought I'd find you here." Meredith exclaimed as she approached Derek. She was on her break and figured she'd spend it with her husband who often frequented the ferries at this time.

"Yeah, I have a thing for ferry boats." He laughed drawing her close with his free hand.

"Really." She laughed as he trapped her body against the railing with his as they looked out onto the water. He pressed his face close to her hair taking in the lavender scent.

"What are you up to?" he whispered kissing her cheek.

"Hmmm, nothing to exciting today. How about you."

Derek chuckled quietly, "You know Chief business and such." He never really liked to talk that much about the hospital's business with his wife. They agreed on keeping work and home separate. She took his cup from his hand taking a sip from the cardboard lid.

"Hey!" he protested.

"Yummy." Derek looked down at Meredith. Her blonde hair was wavy and wild whipping around in the breeze; her cheeks had a healthy glow to them as she smiled up at him.

"I was thinking about what you said about the other day." She said innocently pressing her backside against him.

"What." He said trapping her further with his body.

"Sex." She said bluntly. Derek chuckled; his blushing bride was never shy talking about sex.

"Yeah, what about sex."

"We haven't had any in…" she shuddered as Derek peppered her neck with wet sloppy kisses. He bit at her skin lightly delighting at the red mark it left. Claiming Meredith as his.

"What?" he prodded as she laced her fingers with his.

"…a long time. Maybe we could do it tonight?"

"I don't know I have a late surgery tonight I can't promise when I'll be home." Meredith pouted shrugging away from his warm touch.

"Come on Mer."

"You're never home anymore. The kids miss you, Doc misses you, and I miss you the most. God, you've turned me into one of those whiny housewives who sit at home twiddling their thumbs until their husband comes home. Soon I'm gonna have to resort to pleasuring myself."

"Can I watch?" he asked in all seriousness. Meredith looked back at him incredulously freeing herself from his grasp.

"I'm leaving." She announced walking away from him.

"That's okay I'll watch you walk away." He teased.

"Hey Colby don't open that box of mallow mars." Meredith instructed as she juggled her cell phone on her shoulder and shopping list in the other. She had pretty much gotten everything accept for the requested Trojans Derek had asked for and was on her way to the checkout aisle. Colby mumbled something unintelligible as she stuffed her small mouth with the messy chocolate cookie.

"I hope you can pay for it." Meredith said, Colby made a very audible gulp and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"That's what mommy thought." She nodded as she made her way to an open aisle. The phone began to ring and Meredith flipped it open checking the caller id. It was Derek.

"Hey." She breathed into the phone.

"Hey babe. Did you get the condoms?" he asked point blank.

"Any possible chances you had of getting laid tonight just flew out of that large window of opportunity."

"No!" he exclaimed jokingly.

"Mmm. Besides why would we use condoms I'm on the pill."

"Excellent point." Derek laughed into the phone.

"Mommy what are condoms?" Colby asked innocently with chocolate smudged all around her mouth.

"I don't know ask Daddy okay." Meredith said smoothly.

"Ask Daddy what?" Derek said into the phone.

"You'll find out when we get home." She laughed closing the phone.

"I have two nickels and a penny, will that cover it?" Colby asked giving her mother the loose change.

"That just might do."

After a successful craniotomy Derek came home to find Meredith lounging languidly in their bedspread out amongst the fluffy and warm comforters. Her golden blonde hair fanned out across the pillows as she rubbed her bare legs together getting comfy in one of Derek's dress shirts that she loved to wear to bed. Careful not to wake her, he slipped off his shoes and jacket and quietly made his way to her. Meredith stirred a little as she felt the dip of Derek's weight as he got into bed.

"Mmm." She murmured as he spooned into her. "You're back."

"Shh, don't let me wake you." He whispered kissing her behind her ear.

"I guess no sex tonight?"

"Yeah that's okay you need your rest babe." He placed one last kiss on her bare shoulder and rolled over.

"How was your surgery?" Meredith asked as she turned towards him. Derek laughed as he removed his watch; no matter how tired she was she never failed to ask him about his day.

"It was good a little tricky but good. Now sleep." He ordered again turning off the lamp across from him.

"Derek." She pouted as he rolled out on top of him. Her hands came to rest on his waist clutching the waistband of his jeans.

"Mer that's not gonna make it easier for me to keep my hands off you." He told her with his arms propped up on either side of her.

"Maybe I don't want to sleep."

"I knew you'd come around." He teased as Meredith giggled and rolled him over so she was now on top. Derek's lips found her's as ran his hands up her thighs coming to rest on her bum. He hooked his thumbs into her panties and slowly slid them down her legs.

"God how I've missed this." He exclaimed and reclaimed her mouth with his.
