Merder the best of love

Chapter 22

I woke up the next day refreshed. Derek wasn't here though. I had the day off of work so I decided to make a day out of it. I got myself ready for the day and went downstairs. I ate some of Izzies banana bread and drank some orange juice. I grabbed my phone and saw a text from Derek

D- How are you feeling today
M- Not that good

I put my phone in my pocket and ate the rest of my banana bread. I drank the orange juice and started feeling sick. I tried to hold myself together. I got a text notification and looked at it

D- I'm coming over

I decided not to argue with him because nothing was going to stop him. I couldn't hold it anymore. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Grey there goes my banana bread. I threw up again and flushed the toilet. I washed my hands and face. I went upstairs. I brushed my teeth and washed my mouth out with mouth wash. I went back downstairs. I hate morning sickness, but it means the baby's healthy. I watched tv until I heard a knock at the door. I went over and opened it. Derek walked in.

"You weren't invited in" I said shutting the door

"Well I know you wouldn't let me stand out in the rain" he said taking his coat off

It was sprinkling outside. He hung his coat up and walked in front of me.

"What" I smiled fixing the collar on his shirt

He started smiling and put my hand on his chest. I felt his heart beat. I put my hand on the top of his button up and unbuttoned a little off the top. I put my finger on his chest hair and twirled it. He kissed my forehead and backed up. He walked over to the couch and laid on it.

"So what are we watching" he smiled

"Are you kidding" I laughed

"No" he said laughing

I rolled my eyes and went over to him. He sat up and I sat next to him. I laid down and he laid down behind me. He put his arm over my stomach and held me close. He pulled a throw over us that was on the couch. He buried his head into my neck. We watched The Bachelor. I started feeling sick again.

"Derek" I whispered

"Mmhm" he said

"I have to-" I said and held my mouth

I quickly got off the couch and ran to the downstairs bathroom. I threw up. I put my head basically in the toilet and sat there feeling the coldness. I felt his hands on my shoulder. He held my hair back and rubbed my back. I threw up again. I laid my forehead on my arm. He rubbed my shoulders and I flushed the toilet.

"I'm good" I said turning around

He gave me his hand and I took it. He lifted me up. I went to the sink and washed my face. I flossed and took the little bit of mouth wash down here.

"Meredith are you sure you're okay" he asked

I spit the mouth wash in the sink and turned around to look at him.

"I'm fine. This baby is crazy" I smiled

"Well I wouldn't expect less considering us" he laughed

"Shut up" I said hitting his chest gently

We walked out of the bathroom

"Do you want to go somewhere, like the park. I would really love to go jogging" I said

"Mer you just threw up" he said

"Yeah from morning sickness. It comes and goes" I said

"Well I guess yeah that sounds fun a little" he said

I nodded and went upstairs. I changed into a tank top and running shorts. Derek came in.

"Your clothes are in the top" I said

He nodded and went to the dresser. He grabbed shorts and a t shirt.

"Ooo this is going to be fun" he laughed getting undressed

He changed and we walked downstairs. We grabbed some water bottles and walked out of the house. The park was close, so we started walking there. We got to the park and went to the trail.

"Mer I don't run" he laughed

"Come on. It'll be fun" I smiled

"Whatever you say" he said starting to jog to me

We started running down the trail

"Can't catch me" I said running fast

"Oh bet I can" he yelled

I ran really fast and after about half a mile I was exhausted. I felt him from behind. He picked me up

"Caught you" he laughed out of breath holding me in his arms

"Derek thats not fair" I laughed as he took me over to a chair.

He sat me down in the shade. He sat next to me and handing me some water.

"Thanks" I said out of breath

I took the water and started taking sips of it. He wiped the sweat off his forehead

"You're pretty fast being pregnant and all" he smiled

"I'm fast no matter what" I said

"'Mhm" he said taking my water

"Hey we have two" I said

"I want yours" he said

He took a drink and screwed the top on. We laid back on the tree hand in hand. After a while in the shade I got up and started jogging in place

"Come on" I said holding my hand out

He sighed and took it. I helped him up and held my water bottle. We started jogging down the track through the woods. The track started getting smaller and the sticks started hurting a bit.

"You wanna go back" he said out of breath stopping

"Ya" I painted as I put my hands on my knees and my head down.

"Meredith please don't hurt yourself" he said drinking his water

I drank mine

"I won't" I said out of breath

He held onto my hand and we walked to the nearest rest area about .2 miles back. We went into a golf cart and he started driving us down the track as I drank a lot of water. I heard beeping and he shook a little. I looked down at his pants and his pager was clipped on

"You're on call" I asked

"Yeah, but I wasn't supposed to be paged unless something really bad happened" he said

We drove to the beginning of the park and walked back to the house.

"I'll see you later. Go do whatever, but I really want you to rest" he said

"Ok" I said

He leaned down and kissed my lips. I walked back into the house and he went into his car. I shut the door and went straight upstairs to take a shower. My body was weak.

Fun fact when I did cross country in elementary school we had to run through a long track in the woods everyday🤢🤢
