Why yes indeed it is. So you know the characters. Cute little Hannah. Adorable Eskimo. Uncle Monkey. Mer and Der, of course. And now you're going to find out what's been going on with them since the last fic ended. Exciting, right? Before I go around with the lyrics and all that, rules for the thread: If you are posting on this thread, you are posting one of the following: 1) Randomness (we support random conversation, we love it. 2) A theory. We will discuss theories. We will love theories. 3) A concern that is causing you to teeter on the edge. We will talk you down. 4) A comment about the fic. 5) Sneak peeks, general spoilers You SHOULD NOT be posting the following: 1) Blatant spoilers (aka, the full script, dialogue, etc.) 2) Bad juju. We don't like it. And we'll just be angry if you do it. This is a safe haven. So get your bad juju out of here and go be bad juju-y somewhere else. And remember: "No one ever said it would be easy, only that it would be worth it." "If the road were easy, you wouldn't want to travel that far." Now, on to the fic! Song lyrics: I Do Paul Brandt I've seen the storm clouds in your past But rest assured 'cause you are safe at home at last I rescued you, you rescued me And we're right where we should be when we're together I know the questions in your mind But go ahead and ask me one more time You'll find the answer's still the same It won't change from day to day for worse or better Will I promise to be your best friend And am I here until the end Can I be sure I have been waiting for you And did I say my love is true Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do I know the time will disappear But this love we're building on will always be here No way that this is sinking sand On this solid rock we'll stand forever Will I promise to be your best friend And am I here until the end Can I be sure I have been waiting for you And did I say my love is true Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do Baby I will, I am, I can, I have Oh, I will, I am, I can, I have Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do First update is on it's way! Hope you stick with us! xo Katie Disclaimer: If we owned Grey's Anatomy Derek's date in 408 would be with Meredith. Actually no, that's silly. We get why he has to "date" again. So yes, it wouldn't be with Meredith. It would be with one of us. And in 409...the other one. Meredith Grey sighed as she closed the door to her car, her completely overly stuffed car. Stuffed with her stuff. The stuff she had been packing for the past month, the stuff she had pulled out of her house after selling it. Somehow, the Seattle Grace Youth Hostel was...it was gone. It was completely gone and she was moving into her boyfriend's house. Finally. It had felt like it had been ages since they had started talking about. It had been ages since they had talked about it. Derek and Hannah had moved in a couple of months before and now she was going to join them. She was entirely ready for that, entirely ready to join them and start living like a family or whatever. Family that still seemed like this strange amazingly huge word. They had been together for almost a year. Almost a year and they were...they were good. Great. She couldn't actually remember a time when she was happier...ever. Even Hannah was happy now. Entirely happy with her puppy and with Meredith practically living with them. Because she had been for the past few months. She couldn't actually remember the last time she spent a night at her house. But now it was official. Now she was actually going to be living with them. There was no escaping when she didn't want to deal with Derek after a fight. And there were fights. Not a lot, just a few and always normal ones. Completely normal ones. But fights all the same. According to Derek it made them a much stronger couple and that was a good thing. And make up sex was a lot of fun. But still...no escaping now. If they fought, she couldn't storm home and wait for him to get his head out of his ass, or avoid him until she felt like saying sorry. Or maybe there could be avoiding. Avoiding was possible in this house. This huge house on the huge amounts of land. Avoiding him might be easy...but she would actually have to fall into bed next to him after a fight. Which was actually amazing. She knew she would be scared, there was this tiny voice in her head that kept telling her she should definitely be nervous about this level of committment. Old Meredith would have freaked out at the idea of living with her boss and his daughter. Except she wasn't scared at all, she didn't want to freak out. She wanted to move in and put her stuff everywhere and crawl into Derek’s arms. "Meredith's here!" Hannah called, running down the front steps, her hair flying out behind her. Somehow, in the past few months, Hannah had learned to say her name correctly, had learned to accept that she was going to be around, and was slowly but surely learning that a closed door meant Daddy and Meredith wanted privacy. She giggled as the almost seven year old wrapped her arms around her legs. "Hey Han!" Meredith grinned, ruffling her curls. "We missed you lots!" Hannah grinned widely. "Eskimo too." "I missed you too," Meredith smiled. "But now you don't have to miss me anymore." "Cause you're moving in with us," Hannah nodded. "I am!" Meredith laughed softly. "Where's Daddy?" "He's supposed to be coming," Hannah frowned, turning towards the house. "Daddy! Daddy! Meredith's here!" "She is?" Derek asked as he walked out the front door. "Hey," Meredith smiled at him. Two days. Somehow they had actually gone two days without seeing each other. Not that she had noticed that. Definitely not. He had worked, she had packed...they hadn't seen each other in two days. Missing him seemed stupid. "Hey," he smiled widely, closing the gap between them and pulling her into his arms to kiss her hard. "I missed you." "Me too," she breathed against his lips. "So it's...today," he murmured. "Yeah," she sighed, leaning against his chest. "I...I have stuff." "You do," he grinned. "I'm assuming you expect me to help you." "No, not at all," she rolled her eyes. "I can do it by myself. You go and rest." "So sarcastic," he smirked. "I've got this." "Meredith, guess what!" Hannah grabbed Meredith's hand, dragging her towards the house. "What?" Meredith grinned. "Me and Daddy are making the house like Christmas!" "You are? That's pretty exciting, Han!" Meredith smiled, wondering exactly what that meant in this home. "We got a tree and Daddy's gonna let me put the angel on the top!" "That sounds fun," Meredith nodded. "When are you going to do it?" "Um...soon as we're done putting all the other ornments on," Hannah nodded. "It's really pretty and Daddy says he's gonna put lights on the house even though no one can see it cause no one comes to our house cept Nana and you and Uncle Monkey." "Well Santa needs to be able to find the house," Meredith nodded. "That's what Daddy said," Hannah giggled. "It's very true," Meredith grinned. "I wanna dress Eskimo up like a reindeer but Daddy says I can't," Hannah sighed dramatically. "I think your daddy might have a good idea. Eskimo might not like it a lot." "Maybe," the little girl nodded. "I gotta go find Eskimo. I'll be right back, okay?" "Okay," Meredith giggled softly. "Don't go nowhere," Hannah nodded, running into the house. "Why are you just standing here?" Derek frowned coming up behind her. "I was talking to your daughter," she turned to him and the boxes he was carrying. "And she told me not to go anywhere." "Of course she did," he rolled his eyes. "All I heard about this morning was you." "Really?" she grinned, taking a box from him. "Really." "Why?" "She's excited to have her bestest friend living in the house." "I've been practically living here for months," she pointed out as she followed him into the house. "I know but this...it's different, Mer." "I know," she nodded carefully. "You okay?" "I'm great, Der," she breathed, leaning forward to kiss him. "Really, really great." "Good," Derek smiled. "So am I. And so is Hannah." "Really okay? Because I wasn't sure when we told her..." "She's been off and on about it," he sighed. "And I have a feeling she doesn't really understand how this actually changes things." "Probably not," she sighed. "She didn't seem to really get it. That I'm not going to have another home now." "It's a big concept for her. And I don't think she's grasped that you can't just be only her bestest friend anymore." "I could be," Meredith bit her lip. "No, Mer...you can't be. You're an adult in the house now." "Which means..." "See, I knew I'd manage to get you to freak out today," he smirked. "I'm not freaking out," she shook her head. "There are boxes and...apparently Christmas. Apparently you and Hannah are decorating the Christmas tree." "Me, Hannah and you, yes." "Oh," she couldn't help but smile slightly. "She said...she said it was almost done. I thought...you want me to help?" "Of course," he smiled, kissing her lightly. "It's your home, Mer." "My home," she smiled widely. "And the big scary changes can happen slowly," he sighed. "Don't worry." "Big scary changes?" she asked, starting up the stairs with her box. "Yeah," he nodded. "Living with us now kind of changes." "Okay," she nodded slowly. "Slowly. We can...we do slow. Well, not really. We haven't even been dating a year and I'm moving in but...slow is good. And Christmas is...good. Really good." "You're so cute," he grinned. "Right...cute," she rolled her eyes. "Moving in, Der. I have to move in." "Moving in," he nodded. "What's all in these boxes?" "My stuff," she shrugged. "I have stuff. People have stuff when they move out of houses and into other people's houses." "You really are freaking out," he laughed. "Where does this stuff go? Our room?" "Yeah," she nodded. "And...I mean, I put a lot of stuff in storage because...and I'm not freaking out. This is good. And amazing." "Mer...as good and as amazing as it is, feel free to freak out a bit." "You're not freaking out." "I am a little." "Seriously? You? Freaking out?" "Yeah," he nodded. "I'm more controlled about it but...this is big, Mer." "You're not...I mean, it's amazing for you too, right?" "Completely amazing," he smiled widely. "One of the best days of my life." "Me too," she smiled, putting a box down on the floor in their bedroom before turning to him and kissing him deeply. "Hmmm..." he groaned softly, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. "Close the door?" she breathed, her fingers working through his curls. "Definitely," he whispered. "Though I can't promise how long that will last." "It's been two days," she sighed, pulling away to close their door. "It has been. I hated it." "Me too. It was...okay, it's pathetic to say that I missed you. Cristina thinks we're lame. And pathetic. And that living together will make me soft or whatever." "I think we're already pretty soft," he pointed out. "And I missed you too. Never again though." "Yeah...no more two days at my house.' "Oh you can spend as many days as you want at your house." "Fine, my old house," she giggled, kissing him again. "You live here," he breathed, holding her tightly. "We live together." "We live together," she echoed, resting her head against his chest. "We...together." "You're stuck here now," he whispered. "We're going to die in this house...together." "That's a little morbid, Der." "I know...but true." "Is it...you're not good at this slow thing, Der." "No, not when it comes to you," he sighed. "Not ready for that stuff?" "I don't...not yet," she bit her lip. "I mean...it's just...I know it's going to. But we just...and we haven't even been together a year and this could...this could go bad. People live together and it goes bad. So...I mean, I want that stuff. But it's fast. Really fast." "Okay," he nodded, squeezing her tightly. "We're not going to go bad. Not us." "I know," she smiled against his chest. "Good," he murmured. "I love you," she breathed. "I love you too," he whispered. "Daddy!" Hannah came bursting in, throwing open the door. "Daddy!" "Hannah, door," Derek pointed out. "Oh," Hannah frowned, biting her lip and then looking up. "Eskimo had an accident and we gotta finish the tree and...I'm not in trouble, right? Cause it's a mergency!" "You're not in trouble," Derek sighed. "Because today's a special day but don't forget about the rule. Even though Meredith lives here now the rule still stands." "I know," Hannah nodded. "Eskimo had a accident, Daddy." "Probably too excited. Where?" "In my room. We were playing." "Okay. I'll come help you clean it." "I don't like to clean it, Daddy," Hannah pouted. "Okay," Derek sighed. "How about you stay here and help Meredith unpack and I'll go clean?" "That's not any fun, Daddy," Meredith giggled. "Come on, Han, how about you show me the Christmas tree?" "Okay, Meredith!" Hannah smiled, grabbing her hand. "I'll see you downstairs," she smiled to Derek, kissing him quickly. "See you," he smiled. "Come on, Han," Meredith grinned, following Hannah out of the room. Derek smiled as he watched them head out the door, hand in hand. Today was it. He had been waiting for it since he had bought the land and started building the house. This had always been the plan. This had always been what he wanted, Meredith, him and Hannah living together and building a home. This was kind of actually perfect. It was a huge change but perfect. He couldn't believe she was actually moving in though. He hadn't been sure she would say yes when he finally got up the nerve to ask her one night in bed. At first, he thought her mumbled yes was a post-orgasmic answer with no meaning at all, but then she had put her house up for sale and...now here they were. And he couldn't actually imagine this going any better. He wasn't kidding himself. He knew this was huge, he knew this was going to take some time for everyone to completely adapt for this to become easy but it felt too good to worry about this stuff. He'd be coming home to her all the time. He'd be doing groceries with her, paying bills with her, all the things couples that lived together did. The completely mundane things that felt perfect. It was the step he wanted to take, the step he needed to take. They hadn't been dating for long, they were still a couple months shy of a year, but he was ready for this. He wanted to make it much more official. Since Mark had proposed to Addison, he had been thinking about proposing to his girlfriend, his entirely skittish girlfriend. He wanted everything with her, and he felt this was the first step in that direction. Now I picture things Wedding gowns and wedding rings Since I let myself fall in love with you
