Meredith stood there for a moment, and didn't say anything. She was in shock, and didn't know what to do.

Derek stood there, waiting for Meredith's answer. He was done with his speech and was shocked that he got everything out that was on his mind. Moments passed, and still Meredith didn't say anything. Derek was starting to loose hope.

"Clearly if she wanted to be with me, she would have said something by now." He thought.

Another moment passed, then another. When Meredith still said nothing Derek was pretty sure he knew the answer.

"Ok. I understand." He said as he turned toward the doorway, a look of sadness planted across his face.

"No." Meredith said.

Derek turned around, his hope coming back.

Meredith closed up the space between her and Derek in 3 strides, and looked him right in the eye. "I will never be able to live without you. But, if this is going to work, you need to promise me that you'll never leave me."

"Not a problem."

Gazing into the eyes of the person they loved, caused them both to smile, a genuine, happy one that stretched from ear to ear. And in one swift movement, Derek's and Meredith's lips were locked, in a kiss with so much meaning in it.

Maybe happy endings can happen.

THE END. So, what do you think? I was thinking about writing a sequel. So a yes or no on that would be great. I hoped you enjoyed the fanfic.
