I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while! I'll try to update more regularly, as in once a week or so. If anyone reads my other story 'Can't resist', I'll update on that one shortly, too! Hope you'll enjoy this:

Meredith's head shot up and she looked at him. „What did you say?"

„I said 'marry me'. I want to marry you Meredith. Will you?", he asked, looking into her eyes.

„Yes!", she squealed. He hugged her tightly before swinging her around. „Derek! Getting sick here!", she cried.

„Sorry", he said, setting her down. „We're going to get married."

„Yes we are", Meredith smiled and kissed him.

„I don't have a ring", Derek realized.

„That's okay, Der.."

„But we'll buy one for you. As soon as we get home", he told her. She knew she couldn't change his mind.

„Okay", she whispered, kissing him again.

„Engagement sex?", he asked suggestively.

„Oh yeah", she nodded, following him into the house. They walked past the others sitting on the couch without paying attention to them.

They walked upstairs and had engagement sex.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

„That was amazing", Meredith said, feeling completely satisfied.

„You are amazing", Derek said.

„So cheesy", she giggled.

„I hope they didn't hear us downstairs. You were pretty loud", he said.

„I can't help it." She sighed.

„I didn't say I didn't like it. Be as loud as you want to", he winked at her. He pulled her into his arms.

She was so glad to have him. She could always show her feelings in front of him. She could cry or laugh or scream during sex. She could be how she wanted around him.

„Let's sleep okay?", she said softly. „I'm really tired", she added her eyes already dropping shut.

„Okay", he whispered. „Love you."

„Love you too", she breathed before she fell into a deep sleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meredith woke up startled. Nightmare, she realized. She let out a breath and gripped Derek a little tighter and closed her eyes again. It was still dark outside so she assumed she still had a few hours of sleep.

An hour later however she woke up again. She immediately pressed her hands to her stomach in fear, realieved to feel the small bump there. She'd dreamed she had a miscarriage. She only remembered bits and pieces of it.

She rolled away from Derek. He didn't even stir. Her hands were still on her stomach but soon fell to her sides as she fell asleep again.

Much to her misery two hours later she woke up again. Plane crash. She'd dreamed that their plane back to Seattle would crash.

Feeling uncomfortabe she closed her eyes again and fell asleep only to wake up again when it dawned outside.

She felt the familiar nausea sweep through her and she hastily got out of the bed, managing not to wake her fiancée.

She started to throw up as soon as she was on her knees in front of the toilet. When she was finished and returned to the bedroom Derek was still asleep. She got back in the bed, still not feeling too well. Derek stirred beside her and woke up.

„You okay?", he asked, putting his arm back around her.

„Morning sickness", she told him quietly.

„Did you throw up?"

She nodded. „I didn't sleep well all night. Nightmares..."

„You could've woken me up", he said.

„And what would you have done?"

„I...well I don't know but maybe I could have helped somehow."

„Whatever...", she mumbled.

„Try to sleep a little more. We still have a few hours left", he said.

She nodded and closed her eyes. They both fell back asleep and woke up to the alarm clock Derek had set.

„Oh god! Turn it off!", she cried, covering her ears.

He turned it off and looked at her. „You okay?"

„Great. I feel fucking great", she snapped sarcastically.

„Don't snap at me. It's not my fault you didn't sleep well", he said as he got out of bed.

„I'm sorry. I just feel crappy." She buried her face deeper in the sheets.

„I know. I know. But we have to get up and pack our things. We have to leave for the airport at noon."

Meredith reluctantly stood up. „We have time for breakfast, right?", she asked.

„Yes, we do. We can tell them then."

„Tell them what?", she asked.

„Uh, about our engagement, Mer. Remember?", he asked mockingly.

„Oh right. Of course...yeah, we'll do that", she rambled.

He laughed. „Come on. Go take a shower. I think you need it."

She glared at him plafully and then went into the bathrooom.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

„So, we've got to tell you something", Derek spoke while they were having breakfast.

„What is it?", his mom asked.

„We're engaged", he told them, a big smile covering his face.

„That's great!", Sarah cried. „Since when?"

„Since yesterday evening."

„Oh, that was the reason you two hurried to get upstairs yesterday", Mrs Shepherd stated knowingly.

Meredith looked at Derek, blushing but they didn't have much time to be embarrassed as everybody hugged them briefly and gave them their congratulations.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

At noon they were ready to go. They had loaded their bags into the car and were saying goodbye to everyone.

„It was lovely to meet you, Meredith", Lyss said, hugging her.

„You too", Meredith smiled.

„We'll stay in touch, Mer", Sarah smiled.

Feeling slightly overwhelmed Meredith nodded. „Okay."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Once they had brought the car back to the car rental at the airport they checked in and two hours later they were sitting in the waiting area until they could board the plane.

Derek put his arm around her and she leaned her head against his shoulder. „You feeling okay?", he asked. She nodded. „I'm good, exept that I'm really in the need of a chocolate bar right now", she giggled.

„Hmm, I think I know how to help you there", he grinned. He began to shuffle through their small bag until he said „Ha, found one. Here", he said handing her a chocolate bar.

She looked at him . „How did you...? Why do you-?"

„I know you", he cut her off. „So I brought some chocolate with us just in case", he explained.

She smiled sweetly at him. „You're amazing. Really", she said as she took a bite.

„I know", he said and she laughed and shook her head at his arrogance.

„I can't wait to be home", she said.

„Really?"

„Yeah, I mean I have to talk to Cristina and everyone. And there's this thing called work we've been missing for the past four days", she said sighing.

„I don't want to go back to work", he complained.

„You will live", she rolled her eyes.

„Don't roll your eyes at me", he said only to have her roll them again.

„This is so boring", she mumbled after a few minutes. He was rubbing small circles on her stomach while she was leaning against his chest, practically sitting on his lap. He laughed into her hair. „What am I supposed to say to that?"

„Just agree with me."

„Ok, I agree with you", he said truthfully. „We were just a little early."

„How long do we still have to wait?", she asked.

He glanced at his watch. „Half an hour."

„I have to pee", she sighed and reluctantly stood up. „I'll be right back", she told him.

„Okay", he said and kissed her quickly. He watched as she walked away. He began reading some medical magazine. After 15 minutes Meredith still wasn't back. Just when he started to worry his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller id and saw it was her.

„Meredith?", he asked into the phone.

„Hi, uhm...I think I'm lost", she said.

„How the heck did you manage to get lost?", he asked amusedly.

„I don't know! I mean I'm probably not far from you but I don't know where you are. Is there any sign that says where you are?", she asked, having an idea.

„I'm in waiting area three as it seems", he replied looking at a huge sign a few feet away.

„Hm. I'm looking for signs. Oh, found one that leads the way to that area."

„Then follow it."

„I am." She rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see her.

She followed the signs and a minute later she saw Derek sitting in his seat.

„Found you", she said and hung up before he could reply.

She walked over to him and he burst out laughing. „That's not funny!", she hissed making him laugh even more.

„It kind of is, sweetie", he said when he regained his composure.

Just then the announcement that they could board the plane came. „Come on", he said.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

„Meredith, sweetie wake up", Derek said shaking her gently.

She moaned and opened her eyes. „What?", she mumbled.

„We're home", he announced.

„Oh", she said. It was already getting dark outside.

„Come on", he said. „Let's get inside and sleep. It's been a long day."

She nodded and they got out of the car. Derek took one of their bags and Meredith went to take the second one. As soon as he saw what she was trying to do he said „Meredith, you will not carry that!"

„But Derek-", she protested.

„No buts. I'm taking that one after this one", he said picking up the bag again and carrying it into the house. She rolled her eyes and followed him inside only carrying some jackets and other lighter stuff. He carried the other bag inside the house and went into the kitchen where Mer was.

She was drinking a glass of water and handed him another one. „Thanks", he said, drinking it.

„Bed?", she asked.

„Yeah, I'm exhausted", he said. They went upstairs and got ready for bed. They layed down and he wrapped his arms around her before they both fell asleep.

Reviews still make me incredibly happy...! :)
