Merhayes Italy

Dinner

Cormac's POV:
Meredith and I rented two cars because we can't all fit in one. I help her get the kids in the car as well as her bags. Meredith and I are standing outside of the car by the trunk when she looks at me dead in the eyes. "I love you." She says placing her hands on my hips. "I love you too..." I say almost confused "thank you for taking me to Italy." She replies I smile "thank you for coming" I say as she goes on her tippy toes to kiss me we kiss as Zola and my boys say "oooo" watching us Meredith and I both smile still kissing then pull away. "See you at the house." I say walking to my car.

Cormac's POV:
"Liam Meredith and I will be back, make sure you feed the kids and do not open the door unless you know it's me. I'll text you." I yell as I open the door for Meredith.

"Are you ready for dinner?" I ask letting her walk ahead of me. "I am." She replies. I smile looking at her petite body, her dress perfectly hanging off of it, with her hair resting on her shoulders. "What are you going to get?" I ask as I open the door to my car. She gets in the car, I walk to my side and get in "pasta probably I feel like it's the right thing to do since we are in Italy." She replies knowing I can now hear her. "You're not wrong." I reply. The car ride was quiet as we both were observing our surroundings. The water was so blue and green. "The water is a combination of our eyes." Meredith says as she looks past me out my window i smile placing my hand on her inner thigh. "It is, although I think you eyes are far prettier than the water." Meredith blushes at my comment. "Thank you babe." She says placing her hand over mine on her thigh.

Sitting outside at a table Meredith and I are drinking a fancy bottle or red wine. "Do you think you'd ever get married again?" I ask making small talk. She looks at me for a minute taking my hand over the table "I don't know, maybe. I- you know I don't think I would. If your asking if I want to spend the rest of my life with someone then yes but the whole married, weddings, people... it was never really my thing. Derek wouldn't like it; if I got married again. He would hate that. He wants me to be happy I know but married? No." Meredith replies. I nod and smile are her response. Most people hate talking about their ex's on dates or in general but Meredith and I do it on purpose. It in a way makes us stronger. "How about you? Would you get married again?" She returns my question. I look down at the ground then back at her sage green eyes as I run my thumb in the back of her hand. "No. I wouldn't. I know it's not but I would feel like I was cheating on Abigail." I reply she nods. "I get that." She says then it goes quiet for a few moments. "How about kids? Would you have more kids?" I ask. She smiles at me. "That's hard, Derek and I had a hard time having kids and he understood my pain. I don't know if I want kids with anyone besides him. Cormac I still love him. If he walked up to me right now asking me to go with him or if he some how wasn't dead anymore and I had to choose; I'd pick him. Not because I don't love you or anything but because I will always love him more. I'm sorry if that hurts to hear." Meredith was so honest. I could tell she missed him and what they had. She knows I'm not here to replace him. "I know. I'd do the same for Abigail. I love and miss her more than I will ever love anyone." I reply. "Ouch." Meredith says making a hurt face. I roll my eyes and smile at her "I'm just kidding." She continues.

"Are we ever going to go back? Are we going back to Seattle? With Jo, Jackson, Richard? They are probably all so confused." Meredith nods as out waiter walks over with our food. "Eventually. I needed a break, sometimes that place is hard to handle." Meredith replies. I lightly laugh. "It's true." She continues. I nod "you aren't lying babe."

Authors note:
Short chapter sorry it's been so long since I last updated. This story is harder to write because I've never been to Italy. I'm thinking about making them come back to Seattle but idk how I feel about that either.... I hope you guys like this story though. Happy greys day too.
