Derek had this big romantic evening for Meredith, he wanted to surprise her. And it was a surprise for her. Derek being the man he is wanted to take her someplace special, someplace they have been before. As they drove it seemed like ages for Meredith, until she realized what was going on. He was taking her to the tailer on Derek's land. Meredith could tell as soon as they passed the city and came across a long dirt road.
Derek's car halted to a stop as he parked it, he looked over at Meredith and gave her a small smile. He then got out of the car and went over to the passenger side to greet her, she frowned watching as he opened the door. Before she could unbuckle the seat belt he undid it for her, which made her even more confused but she let it happen. Taking it as a nice gesture.
"I want to show you something," He spoke softly, wearing a smirk on his face. Derek took Meredith's hand and helped her out of his car. She smiled at him as they met eye contact, his smile making her feel so comfortable. "So, it isn't finished but everything is coming along great."
"What is?" Meredith asked letting out a small chuckle, she looked up at her husband as they walked down a large path, a path that she's seen before.
"You will see." Derek chuckled, continuing to walk as their hands were intertwined together, swaying back and forth.
They walked half a mile until they reached what Derek wanted to show her, it was a tall structure that looked like the outlining of a house. It was their dream house and next to it was the infamous trailer. Meredith exhaled at the sight, she had no clue the house was in the process of being built. But it looked good so far.
"Remember during the Alzheimer's trial, we talked about the layout of the house?" Derek asked, looking over at Meredith. She nodded, giving him a bright smile. "Well, I had some builders come out and start a month or so ago. I thought since the house is a quarter of the way done, I'd show you."
"Derek, this looks awesome. I love it," She told him, still smiling. He couldn't help but smile as well. Seeing her happy just warmed his heart. He watched as she walked around the start of the house, looking at every little thing. "I can see it, I can see us living here."
"I'm really glad you like it," Derek told her, following her around the structure. Meredith turned to face him, her smile starting to fade into a small frown and it worried him. Derek couldn't help but step closer to her to see if she needed comfort.
"T-the dream I had, I remember it," Meredith muttered, looking over at him. Her eyes growing sadder at the second "I-I was still missing and I was in the room w-where they found me. And Jane told me that. She told me Jake escaped from custody." Meredith told Derek, he listened until the last word was said before taking her into his embrace.
"Everything is going to get better, I promise." He whispered into her ear, running his arm up and down her back as a few small strands of tears fell from her cheeks. She was scared as all of these emotions began to overcome her again.
"I know, It's just that what if he's out there. Looking for me." She muttered underneath her breath, causing him to sigh and squeeze her a little tighter than he was before. Continuing to run his arms up and down her back.
"He's in jail Mer, if it makes you feel better we can call Jane."
"No, we can't bother her." Meredith stammered, shaking her head as she let tears fall from her eyes. Her face burrowed into his shoulder.
"But it'll make you feel better, I don't think she'll mind. She cares about you guys."
"Derek," Meredith sighed "Okay. Okay, Let's go into the trailer and do it. It's kinda cold out here." She added, pulling away from the hug and taking his hand once again.
