McEditor Posts: 1,625 Group: .Grey Girls. Member #23 Joined: October 25, 2006	Disclaimer: Grey's is on really soon. We have idea of how tonight's episode might go. But really, we're not sure. And if we owned Grey's we would be sure. But we don't, so we're not. Meredith clutched Derek's hand tightly as they walked into the main building of Hannah's ballet camp. She wasn't nervous. She wasn't scared. She just wasn't entirely sure she could stand up entirely by herself if she tried. Leave it to Derek to suggest taking a shower and then having sex with her in the shower, and then again after the shower. She definitely wasn't sure standing was possible. "You okay?" he frowned slightly, looking at their hands. "Yep," she giggled. "Just wobbly." "Wobbly?" he laughed softly. "The last time...against the wall..." she whispered, "evil." "Oh that was fun," he smirked. "I still don't think...I mean, can you have like...I haven't recovered." "That's only because that last time was all about you." "And entirely evil." "Amazing." "Fine, evil and amazing," she sighed, leaning into him. "Hmm..." he breathed, squeezing her hand. "Today was great." "It really was," she murmured. "Ballet camp was the best idea ever," he grinned and then frowned. "I'm a terrible father." "She loves it," she assured him. "You'd only be a bad dad if you sent her here against her will to have...well...to do what we did." "You have a point," he nodded. "Daddy!" "Hannah!" Derek grinned. "Hi!" the little girl came running towards him, throwing her arms around his legs. "Guess what! Guess what!" "What?" Derek asked, giving her a tight squeeze. "We're gonna have r'cital!" she shouted excitedly, holding up an envelope. "You are?" Derek smiled. "When?" "At the end of camp," she nodded. "And we're gonna have costumes and everything!" "Very very cool," Derek nodded, quickly looking up at Meredith. "Isn't that cool, Mer?" "Oh," Meredith smiled, "yeah. That's really cool, Han." "Mer and I will have to book the day off to make sure we don't miss it," Derek grinned. "You're gonna come too, Mereith?" Hannah grinned widely, moving from Derek's grasp to hug Meredith's legs tightly. "Of course I am," Meredith giggled lightly. "Good," Hannah nodded firmly. "Guess what, Hannah?" Derek asked as he pulled himself off the floor and grabbed Meredith's hand again. "What?" Hannah grinned. "Meredith and I were talking and we think today is a good day to go find Eskimo." "Really?" Hannah bounced slightly. "Really, really?" "Really really." "Yay!" she clapped her hands and then ducked under their hands. "'Scuse me, Mereith," she said, trying to break their hand hold. "No, Han," Derek shook his head, watching Meredith slightly chew her lip. "Meredith's got that hand. You can have my other one." "But you're holding my bag," Hannah frowned. "And I gotta hold your hand cause I'm real small." "I know I do," Derek nodded. "But I want to hold Meredith's hand too. So one of you can carry the bag and I'll hold both hands." "I'll take the bag," Meredith smiled widely, her head feeling suddenly light. Well, not suddenly. But not post-sex light. Just...happy light. Really happy light. "Thanks, Mer," Derek smiled lightly as he handed it to her and then held his hand out to Hannah. "Free hand, Ms. Shepherd." "Okay," Hannah nodded, grasping his hand tightly. "Are we gonna go right now and get Eskimo?" "We are," Derek nodded. "And then we'll take him home and maybe go out for supper. Or order in if you want to stay home with him." "He's gonna be just a baby, Daddy," Hannah sighed. "He can't be home all by himself." "Ordering in it is," Derek laughed softly. "That okay with you, Mer?" "Yeah," Meredith smiled. "That's great. Puppies can't be all by themselves." "Of course not," he rolled his eyes. "He's gonna need lots of toys, Daddy," Hannah piped up. "Toys and food and a bed!" "We'll get that all today at the pet store," he nodded. "Can we get him a i'loo?" Hannah asked. "Eskimos live in i'loos." "And where do you suppose we put this igloo?" Derek asked, smiling at the sound of Meredith's giggle. "In my room." "I don't think you have room for it in there." "And igloos have to be cold, Han," Meredith giggled. "They have to be in cold places. Your room's too warm." "She has a point," Derek nodded. "Maybe when we move to our new house we can build him a dog house that looks like an igloo." "In my room?" Hannah asked. "Dog houses are usually outside." "But Eskimo's gonna be lonely outside." "He won't be outside all the time," Derek sighed. "But dogs like to be outside to play a lot. They like it." "Can I be in the i'loo too?" Hannah asked as Derek helped her into the backseat of the car. "No, Hannah, dog houses are just for dogs," Derek laughed. "Yeah, but I can stay there sometimes," Hannah pointed out. "Mereith has a house and she stayed at my house today." "She did," Derek nodded. "But Meredith's house is a people house and so is ours. Eskimos house will be for dogs." "Can I visit him in the i'loo?" "Well...no. But you can play with him outside." "Fine," Hannah sighed dramatically. "Fine," Derek echoed as he pulled back and closed the door before jumping in his side of the car. "She sounds so sad," Meredith giggled as she took his hand, squeezing it tightly. "She'll get over it," he laughed, leaning over to kiss Meredith quickly before starting the car. "Kissing's gross, Daddy." "Kissing's fun," Derek smiled. "Nuh uh, it's gross." "You say that now," Meredith giggled. "Boys are gross too," Hannah nodded. "'Cept Daddy and Uncle Monkey." "Exactly," Derek nodded. "Always remember that." "You're that dad," Meredith laughed. "I'm what dad?" he frowned. "The dad who is going to buy a gun when she's old enough to date." "I am not going to buy a gun," he groaned. "And who said anything about her ever being old enough to date." "I was thirteen," she giggled. "Will Dennison kissed me after gym." "Will Dennison," Derek nodded. "His name has been added to the list." "Almost twenty years ago, Der." "So?" "Daddy!" Hannah shouted from the back seat. "I got an idea!" "That's great, Han," Derek smiled. "But Mer and I are talking right now so can you hold onto that idea and tell us as soon as we're done?" "What if I forget it?" "Keep repeating it in your head over and over again." "Fine," Hannah crossed her arms and then started muttering under her breath. "Are you going to answer my question?" Derek asked Meredith, laughing softly at his daughter. "Oh, um," Meredith couldn't help but grin. He definitely hadn't ever done that before. Hannah interrupted all the time, she could remember conversations they had never finished because of her. "You can't hate a guy who kissed me twenty years ago." "Want to make a bet?" "Derek...if you hated every guy I've kissed and...well, um, kissed, that would be...well, not a lot. But there's...never mind. You just can't hate all of them." "I'm pretty sure I can. Even if it is a long list," Derek shrugged. "Feel free to hate every girl I've kissed." "Unlike you I'm not twelve and I'm not jealous of people I've never met." "I'm a tiny bit hurt," he shook his head. "You'll get over it." "We'll see about that," he sighed. "Daddy, are you done yet?" "Yes, we're done," Derek nodded. "What was your idea?" "Okay," Hannah took a deep breath, "what if we built a people house i'loo and then Eskimo can be in the people house i'loo with me." "You want to build a people house igloo?" "Yep." "Well umm...we could build you a playhouse that looks like an igloo. Yes." "And then Eskimo can bet with me stead of in the dog house i'loo?" "Yep," Derek nodded. "Okay, good," Hannah grinned. "Just for me and Eskimo. No grown ups allowed." "No grown ups," Derek smiled, squeezing Meredith's hand. "Kids are kind of random," Meredith giggled softly to Derek. "They really are," he nodded. "I guess we'll have an igloo on our land." "Have fun explaining her igloo isn't made of ice." "Really? I was thinking you could have a go at that." "You're the one who agreed to a people house igloo." "But I've been doing this for six years, you need to be broken in." "I...I do?" she pulled back slightly. "I mean, I figured...I just...I do?" "Yeah, you do," he nodded firmly. "But...that's probably a bad idea. Like, a really bad idea." "Why?" he frowned. "Because...I'm...me." "Yes." "And probably shouldn't be allowed to influence small children at all." "Mer, you already do." "Not in...not in a really big way." "Yeah, you do." "I really don't." "Mer...you do." "How?" "You don't think Hannah looks up to you? She adores you, Mer. Of course you have an influence on her." "But not like...not like parenty influence." "Maybe not yet but you're moving in with us." "Eventually." "So eventually...that influence will happen." "Yeah but...eventually is a long time," she sighed. "And...puppy houses and people houses and igloos are your...they're your thing." "Okay, letting you off the hook this time." "Puppy store!" Hannah exclaimed as they pulled into the parking lot. "Puppy store," Derek laughed. "You have to stay calm." "I'm calm," Hannah said though she was bouncing. "Of course you are," Derek smiled. "What does Eskimo look like, Daddy?" Hannah asked as Derek got out of the car to unbuckle her. "I don't know, Han. The three of us have to pick him out." "How will we know which one he is?" she asked, taking Derek's hand. "We'll just know," Derek explained. "But he's definitely a puppy," Meredith interjected as Derek took her hand with his free one. "Definitely a puppy," Derek agreed. "If I call his name, will he come to me?" Hannah pulled Derek into the store. "Not right away, the puppies here don't have names so he's going to have to learn it." "Hey, guys, I'm Erin, what can I do for you today?" a sales associate came forward. "Looking for a puppy," Derek smiled. "An Eskimo," Hannah spoke up. "Any kind of puppy," Meredith giggled. "That will be named Eskimo." "Okay," Erin grinned, bending down to Hannah's height, "we have a lot of puppies here. So how about you and Mom and Dad come back with me and we'll see which puppy is your favorite?" "Okay," Hannah nodded excitedly. "Come on," Erin smiled, leading them towards the back, where they could all hear puppies barking excitedly. "Hannah, be careful with the puppies," Derek murmured as his daughter let go of his hand to look at the puppies closer. "Can I pet them?" Hannah asked excitedly. "Of course you can," Erin grinned before looking at Derek and Meredith. "Is there any kind you had in mind?" "Oh," Meredith breathed, "I'm not...they're...I'm just..." "Hannah was thinking something small but I have no idea if she's going to stick to that," Derek cut her off, squeezing her hand tightly. "Can I hold one, Miss Erin?" Hannah asked excitedly. "Of course," Erin nodded. "Which one would you like to see?" "Um..." Hannah chewed on her lip, looking at all the yapping puppies. "That one! He has blue eyes like me!" "Be careful with him," Derek reminded his daughter. "I know, Daddy," Hannah grinned as Erin handed her the small white, grey, and brown puppy with clear blue eyes. "What kind is he?" "He's a Husky," Erin grinned. "A Husky?" Hannah grinned, petting the puppy eagerly as he licked her. "I like him Daddy." "You do?" Derek asked. "He'll get pretty big, Han. He's not going to stay tiny." "Yeah, but he's got blue eyes like me!" "He does have your blue eyes," Derek laughed. "He's my puppy brother," Hannah giggled. "What do you think, Mer?" Derek asked. "Oh," Meredith smiled slightly, bending down to pet the puppy with Hannah. "He is cute." "Huskies get pretty big," Erin informed them. "And they need a lot of room to run around in." "We have room," Meredith smiled. "And a lot of land." "We do," Derek echoed. "We're in the process of building a home in the middle of nowhere." "Then that's perfect for Huskies," Erin nodded. "So Hannah...is that Eskimo?" Derek asked. "Yep," Hannah nodded firmly, looking down at Eskimo. "Hi, my name is Hannah Shepherd and Daddy says you don't got a name yet. That's okay, cause you're Eskimo. And that's Daddy. And that's Mereith. She's Daddy's girlfriend." "So I guess we'll take him," Derek smiled. "Yay!" Hannah grinned. "You're gonna come home with me, Eskimo. And sleep in my room and on my bed and then in the morning we'll lay down with Daddy. And Daddy will make pancakes and french toast and waffles and go on walks and everything!" "Puppies can't eat those things," Derek laughed. "And I think I need a bigger bed." "Probably," Meredith laughed as she stood up. "And we're going to need all the puppy stuff," Derek sighed. "He's gonna need lots of toys," Hannah nodded, hugging the wiggling puppy close to her. "Another Shepherd to be spoiled," Derek laughed. "C'mon, Eskimo," Hannah said, "let's go find you lots and lots of toys." "How many do you think lots and lots of are?" Derek asked Meredith, grabbing her hand again. "Twenty? Thirty?" Meredith smiled, leaning into him. "It's a good thing I have a high paying job," he sighed. "They're cute together," she giggled slightly, watching Hannah walk ahead of them, whispering excitedly to the puppy in her arms. "They are," Derek nodded. "I'm happy he's going to be a big one." "I couldn't see you with a small yappy dog," Meredith nodded, squeezing his hand. "I would have hated the thing," he laughed softly. "Daddy, can me and Eskimo sleep with you tonight?" Hannah stopped in front of them. "We'll have to figure that out tonight," Derek nodded. "Mereith's sleeping at her house right?" "I don't know," Derek shrugged. "We haven't decided but she might sleep over again. It's up to her. I want her to sleep over tonight." "I...I want to sleep over too," Meredith whispered. "In that case, yes, Hannah, Meredith is sleeping over." "Oh," Hannah frowned. "No frowning about that," Derek shook his head. "You two can sleep with us if you want but we'll have to figure out how to make it work for everyone." "Okay," Hannah sighed. "C'mon, Eskimo." "I have a feeing that's going to be a headache tonight," Derek whispered to Meredith. "Yeah," she sighed. "We can handle it," he murmured, squeezing her hand tightly. "No asking you to move." "Thank you," she whispered. "And just...I mean...will we sleep alone...ever? Or even, I mean, there was a lot of fun stuff today. A lot of good things. So I'm not asking for more. I'm just...ever?" "Definitely," he nodded. "We'll set up rules with her or something." "Okay," she nodded. "Rules. Rules are...hopefully she's not like you and actually follows rules." "I am quite certain me not following the rules was the best idea ever." "Well, maybe," she smiled coyly. "Still...annoying." "You loved it," he smiled. "And she'll follow the rules...or get grounded. It's easy." "Okay," she sighed. "I'll fight with her if I have to, Mer," Derek whispered. "She can't break up with me at a wedding." "You hate fighting with her," Meredith rolled her eyes. "I hate fighting with you too. And she has to learn." "I don't want...I don't want to make her hate me anymore," Meredith whispered, though she couldn't help but feel in the least bit hopeful. "She won't," he murmured, kissing her forehead. "Your daughter is buying the entire store," she giggled, leaning into him. "Yeah, I know," he laughed, letting go of her hand and wrapping his arm around her. "Think Webber will give me a raise?" "For a puppy?" "Yes." "Doubtful," she giggled. "Ruin my fun." "No, ruining your fun will be pointing out that you're about to have a not housetrained puppy sleeping in your bed tonight," Meredith laughed as she moved out of his grasp and towards Hannah. "I hate you," he frowned after her. "You love me," she called over her shoulder as she helped Hannah pull a bag of dog food off the shelf. Derek smiled to himself as he watched them talk to each other, Hannah's eyes bright as she held her dog in her arms and a soft smile across Meredith's face. He was trying. He was really trying and maybe he hadn't noticed it before but now he noticed the difference. Because this felt good. Having Meredith there by his side, entirely with him on this, felt pretty amazing. But touching your hand is making me understand That love is in everything Disclaimer: Grey's is literally about to be on. Like...really really soon. And we're feeling zen...well zen with a nervous edge. Which means we can't think of a disclaimer but we don't own the show. "Wake up, Mer," Derek murmured running his fingrs throough her soft waves. He loved waking up like this, her curled up around him, her hand resting on his chest. It was definitely his favourite way to wake up. Even if she snored ever so slightly and moved around a lot in her sleep, it was pretty perfect. She had been here almost every night and he was loving it. "Hmmm," she groaned, cuddling closer into his chest, her legs wrapping themselves around his. "Wake up," he repeated, kissing her forehead. "Sleeping," she sighed, shifting slightly so she blindingly found his hand. "Sleeping people don't talk," he pointed out. "Sometimes they do," she mumbled. "You don't," he argued. "It's a new development." "Or is it?" "It definitely is," she groaned, rolling on top of him and resting her cheek against his t-shirt. "Poor thing," he laughed softly, winding his hand through her hair. "Good morning." "Morning," she whispered. "Sleep well?" "Amazing," she breathed. "You?" "Amazing," he echoed. "You know what else is amazing?" "What?" "Sleeping in." "I know," he breathed. "Perfect." "Okay...you might have slept in. But I meant letting me sleep in. Longer." "But we're up now," he laughed softly. "Because of you." "Because right now at this moment we have completely quiet privacy." "We do," she nodded. "We should enjoy it." "Oh really?" she murmured, looking up to kiss him deeply. "Really," he breathed against her lips, running his hand up and down her back. "And how do you suggest we enjoy it?" she asked, biting down on his lower lip gently, allowing her hands to move up his sides and then move down under him, squeezing his ass. "Pretty much like this," he laughed breathlessly, moving his hand under her shirt to rub along her stomach. "I like this," she giggled, quieting him with a deep kiss as he turned over, pinning her underneath him. His hands moved further underneath her shirt, gently massaging her breasts. "Me too," he whispered, pulling his mouth away from hers, gently pressing his lips to her neck. "Hmmm," she sighed lazily as her fingers played in his curls. "I love you," he murmured, before kissing her again, letting his lips play against hers sofly. "I love you too," she breathed against his lips, her tongue gently thrusting into his mouth. He moved his other hand up her top, cupping both her breasts in his hands as he deepened the kiss further, pressing his lips hard into hers. "Mer..." "Morning, Daddy!" Hannah threw the door open, Eskimo following closely behind her as she ran towards the bed. "Ha...Hannah," Derek groaned, quickly slipping his hands quickly out of Meredith's shirt and rolling off of her. "Morning, Mereith," Hannah nodded, lifting Eskimo out on the bed as Meredith rolled closer to Derek, burying her face in his chest. "Hannah....you..." Derek sighed. "The door was closed." "I know, but me and Eskimo wanna say good morning," Hannah grinned, clambering onto the bed. "That's great, Han," Derek sighed, hugging Meredith tightly. "But...the door was closed." "I know," Hannah nodded and then frowned. "Mereith, you're in my spot again." "Hannah, you have to share your spot." "But it's my spot." "It is," Derek nodded. "And it's Meredith's spot too." "No, it's my spot," Hannah said firmly. "I was here first." "You were," Derek smiled. "But sometimes someone else comes along and you have to share." "But it's my spot," Hannah pouted. "It's my spot." "Yes, Hannah, it is. But right now it's Meredith's spot because she needs a spot too. But I have a whole other side that can be all yours." "But I'll fall off," Hannah pointed out. "Mer and I will move over," Derek offered. "And I'll hold you really tight." "How come Mereith won't take the other side?" Hannah crossed her arms. "Me and Eskimo want my side." "She's already on this side." "But I was there first." "Not today you weren't." "But Daddy..." "No but daddy..." Derek shook his head. "If you want to share the bed you can sleep on this side. And tomorrow you two can switch sides if that helps." "Fine," Hannah said angrily, crawling over Derek. "Move, Daddy." "You know what, Han? I think we need to talk." "Why?" Hannah frowned, pulling Eskimo close to her, pushing slightly at Derek. "Because things are changing around here and they will change more." "I don't like changing." "I know you don't but this is all good changes." "Move, Daddy, me and Eskimo are falling." "Actually...I think I'm going to sit up," Derek sighed. "Or maybe we could go downstairs and make pancakes while we talk." "But we always cuddle," Hannah frowned. "We do," he nodded. "But we could always cuddle after we talk." "I don't wanna talk. I wanna cuddle." "That's fine but we need to talk." "Fine." "Good. So here or making pancakes." "Here," Hannah sighed, turning and burying her head underneath the pillow, Eskimo licking her arm. "Hannah, I need you to look at me," Derek sighed. She shifted a little and then lifted the edge of the pillow only slightly to reveal one of her blue eyes. "I'm looking." "Hannah Rose Shepherd...unless you want to spend your day in your room you'll get your head out from under that pillow right now." "You're mean now," Hannah whimpered, throwing the pillow to the floor. "Han, I don't want to be mean," Derek sighed, wrapping an arm around his daughter and kissing her head gently. "We need to talk and I need your attention, that's all." "I'm paying 'ttention." "Good," Derek nodded. "Meredith has been around a lot, hasn't she?" "Yeah," Hannah nodded, pulling Eskimo close to her. "She doesn't stay at her house anymore." "No she doesn't. She likes being around us a lot." "She likes being round you the mostest." "Maybe, but she likes being around you lots and lots. She loves you, you know that." "You're my bestest friend, remember, Han?" Meredith said softly. "She loves both of us," Derek murmured. "Lots." "Okay," Hannah sighed, giggling slightly as Eskimo licked her face. "So she's around a lot now," Derek smiled. "And that's not going to change. If anything she's going to be around a lot more." "And she's gonna steal my spot." "No she isn't," Derek shook his head. "She can't steal your spot." "She did today," Hannah pointed out. "She said she wouldn't but she did. She lied." "She didn't steal anything, Han. She slept with me last night and that's how she slept. And she's not going to move just because you came in when I have another side. You have to share, Hannah." "But it's my spot." "But you get a new spot, isn't that exciting?" "No." "Hannah, Meredith is part of my life now. You have to accept that." "I am but it's my side. It was my side first." "But you can share sides. Sometimes it can be your side and sometimes Meredith's." "Okay," Hannah sighed dramatically. "Thank you, Hannah," Derek smiled. "It means a lot to both of." "Done talking now?" Hannah asked. "No, we're not," he shook his head. "When things change new rules are needed." "Rules?" "Yep, rules, just tiny ones." "Rules are stupid." "No they aren't," Derek shook his head. "And really...it's just one." "One rule?" "Yep. You saw that the door was closed today, right?" "Yeah," Hannah sighed. "If the door is closed you're not allowed to just walk in. You have to knock and ask if you can come in." "How come?" "Because if Mer and I have the door closed we want some privacy." "But what if I'm sick?" "Than you don't have to knock, just yell for me really loudly." "What if I have a real bad dream?" "Same thing. Just yell and I will come running." "What if Eskimo has to go potty?" "You can knock on the door and tell us." "What if aliens are here?" "If aliens are here you can yell my name really really loudly. And yell aliens too so I know to bring something to save you." "What if it's monsters and aliens?" "Same thing." "What if I'm thirsty?" "That's a knock and ask situation." "What if you say no?" "I won't." "What if you do?" "I won't." "What if Mereith says no?" "Meredith won't say no either." "But what if..." "No what ifs. If the door is closed you knock or yell if it's really bad and we will always come to help you. Promise. Pinky swear." "Okay," Hannah nodded slowly. "But it will be open a lot so don't worry too much." "You sure?" "Definitely sure." "So no more cuddling?" she whimpered, pulling Eskimo closer to her. "Hannah, there is always room for cuddling," Derek smiled. "Just no more walking in on us unannounced but definitely cuddling." "But what if the door's closed and me and Eskimo wanna cuddle?" "Than you knock and it might take a few minutes but we'll let you in so we can all cuddle." "All of us?" "Me, Meredith, you and Eskimo." "That's a lot," Hannah giggled. "It is," Derek laughed. "Makes it that much more cuddly." "I guess," Hannah sighed. "Sometimes...I'll...it can be just you guys sometimes," Meredith offered. "And maybe...Han, if you want...just us, without Daddy." "Really?" Hannah looked up from where her face was buried in Eskimo's fur. "Really," Meredith nodded. "Okay," Hannah nodded. "So we're good, Hannah Banana?" Derek asked quietly. "I think so," Hannah nodded. "Good," Derek smiled. "And really...the door will be open lots and lots." "It will," Meredith nodded. "Just not all the time." "Definitely not all the time," Derek smiled at her. "Okay," Hannah sighed. "Cuddling time?" "Cuddling time," Derek grinned, laying back down on the bed. "You gotta move, please," Hannah said. "Or me and Eskimo will fall." "Moving," Derek sighed, scooching closer to Meredih. Hannah grabbed Eskimo and fell onto the bed, cuddling up on the other side of Derek as Meredith rested her head back on Derek's chest. "Gotta stay still, Eskimo," Hannah whispered. "It's cuddling time." I wanna lay like this forever, until the sky falls down on me
