MEREDITH P.O.V
Today was my 6 week appointment and to be honest, it was almost like second nature for me, walking the aisles of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. I remembered the secluded nooks and the noisiest spots, the panoramic corridors and the dark stairwells. It just about felt like coming home, walking through those aisles again.

Derek walked beside me, so close I could feel his warmth, our steps almost in sync, Bailey was strapped on my chest in his carrier, while the girls were still at home with Alex and Cristina, enjoying the sunny morning.

"What time is Connie waiting for us?" Derek asked, casually linking his hand in mine

"Ten."

"Wasn't it nine-thirty?"

"She called me this morning to delay the appointment. She was busy in a rough delivery, that's why." I smiled at his puzzled look.

"Right, you told me that. I forgot, it was when I trying to feed the twins breakfast wasn't it?" Derek sighed, obviously defeated that his brain was so scrambled from the constant lack of continuous sleep.

"Well, after weeks of gourmet breakfasts from you, they had a right to complain when I presented them cereals before leaving them to tend to Bailey."

He laughed playfully before continuing

"I took the day off today." Derek smirked, a glint in his eyes. He had been flirty all morning, borderline inappropriate, and I had a good idea why. Yet, it still felt nice for me to be looked that way while I felt all but sexy.

"You did?"

"Well, we can celebrate properly if we have the whole day and the all clear from Dr Ryan" He replied sultry, wriggling his eyebrows at the suggestion, and I felt my cheeks heating up at his look. I didn't reply, and I tried to push the dirty thoughts out of my head as we settled in the waiting room, but it seemed almost impossible.

"We should make the most of nap time." Derek whispered, giving me a look. Our Look.

"I agree."

"What about the twins?" My voice became closer to yelp then. A very quiet, very whispered yelp.

"I'll find a way to keep them out for a couple of hours. Maybe their special playdate with Auntie Amy could start a bit earlier?"

"Derek!" I laughed, but I was appealed by the effective benefits of having the girls away from the house. "We can wait for tonight."

Derek grinned, his lips so close to my ear that his words were a breath of air, just as inconsequential as his fingers at the base of my neck. "I don't think I can wait one more second."
