Alright I am well aware that I should be updating my other story, which I recommend all of you check out, but I felt the complete total urge to write about what I think happens right after three Season Five Premiere. Enjoy!
Meredith shut the dresser drawer as she finally finished helping Derek move in. She closed her eyes and let out nervous breath a she realized he was here to stay. He wouldn't be here one night, and spend the next night at his trailer. He was going to be there. All the time.
"Mere?" said Derek as he finished hanging his shirts. "You okay." asked Derek questioningly as he walked over to her.
"Hmm." said Meredith as she opened her eyes. "Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" said Meredith as she walked over to the bed to fix the covers, to keep herself distracted from reality.
"Meredith. Come on you think I don't you well enough to know that you're not ever when you say you are." said Derek as he changed into something to sleep in. " You want to talk about it?" asked Derek as he walked over to the bed.
Meredith shook her head as she walked over to the dresser and pulled out her Dartmouth tee-shirt and pair of pants. She quickly changed into and walked over to the bed and lay down pulling the covers over her.
"Alright." said Derek as he climbed into the bed and pulled the sheets over himself. "Baby steps Mere." said Derek as he shut the lamp off and kissed her forehead, before draping his arm over her waist and lying down.
Meredith lay there for a few moments, listening to the silence in the room, the crickets outside chirping away and the cars still driving by. "I'm scared." she admitted suddenly.
Derek leaned over and turned the light on to see her. "Because I moved in." said Derek knowingly.
"No... No Derek... you moving in was right, I know it was. It's just what comes after that." said Meredith as she finally turned over to face him perching herself on her elbow.
"What comes next?" asked Derek, knowing the answer.
Meredith raised her eyebrows. "You know what happens next. The house… actually gets built. We get married. I become Meredith Grey Shepherd. We have five children. Five freaking chatty children that have great hair. And I'm…. I'm scared for what happens next." said Meredith as she looked down at the pale white sheets.
Derek looked up at her after letting her ramble." Meredith you're not the only one scared." said Derek.
Meredith looked up suddenly. "You're not scared." said Meredith.
"Of course I am. I want it all, just like you. But it's a huge, big, different and definitely scary change." said Derek as he caressed her cheek running his thumb back and forth over it, in reassurance. "I'm right there with you. We can be scared together."
Meredith smiled slightly at that thought of him being with her, step by step. Comforting and reassuring her through all this as they took it day by day, step by step.
"Together?" said Meredith as she laced her fingers with his.
"Together." repeated Derek as he quickly turned off the light and Meredith snuggled into his chest.
"We can be extraordinary together." said Meredith as she laid her head in the crook of his neck.
"We can be." said Derek as both he and Meredith finally feel into a nice peaceful slumber.

Meredith opened her eyes the next morning to see the early morning sunlight streaming into the room. She rolled over to see a peacefully sleeping Derek watching her sleep.
"You're here." said Meredith as Derek kissed her good morning.
"Did you think I wouldn't be here, when you woke up." asked Derek with a smirk.
"You never know." said Meredith quietly, her nerves crawling back into her system.
Derek's smirk immediately dropped. "Meredith… I'm going anywhere. I promise not right now. When I'm one hundred and two and in your arms, that's another story." said Derek as Meredith giggled slightly at that. "But right now, if I have anything to do with it, I'm not going anywhere. Okay?" said Derek as he tucked a piece of blonde waves behind her hair.
"Okay." said Meredith with a smile.
"Alright then. Now how about we get up and get dressed and go to supermarket, so we can buy some real breakfast food… like muesli." said Derek knowing Meredith's response.
"It tastes like dirt." said Meredith with a giggle. She laughed even more when Derek started tickling her.
"And what cold pizza and grilled cheese tastes better?" asked Derek with a smile as he stopped tickling her.
Meredith sighed dramatically. "I guess I can learn to like it somewhat." said Meredith.
"And I guess I can survive your horrible breakfast habits, every now and then." said Derek as he smiled.
"Good. You're going to have to."
