Merhayes Valentine's

Talk's

Meredith's POV:
"What if I die? Or you?" Cormac questions. I smile "okay well let's not think about that..." I say taking his hand interlocking my fingers with his. "I'm still not leaving you." I whisper as we walk. Cormac swings our arms "what would happen if I just died?" He questions looking at me as I stare at the ground. I shake my head holding back tears. "Mer?" He says. I look at him the tears I was holding back flowing "I-uh-" I clear my throat when we stop walking. "I-I'm sorry." Cormac whispers pulling me into his embrace. He holds my head to his chest with one hand the other on my back. "I love you... I'm not going anywhere." He kisses my head to soothe me which doesn't work. "H-hey look at me... listen to me" he says still holding me close he stops talking for a minute, the sound of his heart beating and waves crashing filling the void. "I love you. I'm not going anywhere, I promise." His voice is soft, caring as always.

"Good I can't raise six kids by myself." I tease pulling away from his embrace. "You- I- Meredith." Cormac says making me laugh. "Can we go home now? I want cuddles."

Cormac's POV:
"Mommy!" Austin yells as he runs to us Ellis following close behind. "Hey baby boy." She says picking him up. He lays his head on her shoulder, his right arm around her neck and left hanging by their side. "You tired?" She asks him kissing the side of his head. He nods in response "okay, let's go home."

"Do we have all five kids?" Maggie questions standing outside of her car. I freeze, my mouth falling open as Meredith wraps one arm around me, the left on my chest. She looks up with a grin on her face. "Yes we have them all babe get in the car." Winston says. I mentally go over the conversation Meredith and I had just minutes ago

"Good. I can't raise six kid's by myself"

Plays over and over in my head. "Cormac!" Meredith startles me out of my trance I shake my head lightly looking back down. "Yeah- what's up?" I question watching Winston drive away with the kids. "I should be asking you the same..." she says turning us around. I wrap my arm around her placing my hand over her hand on my chest lightly squeezing it. "Just thinking about my sexy soon to be wife." I'm lying through my teeth but I can't tell Meredith what I was really think about. Meredith smiles looking at the ground. She still has no shoes on and we are one step away from the pavement. I quickly swipe her off her feet holding her bridal style making her quietly scream as she laughs. She tilts her head back keeping her hands around my neck. She sits back up as I walk planting a kiss on my lips backing up slightly "I love you" her lips brushing against mine as she talks. She leans back down taking my bottom lip in her mouth sucking on it. A moan unknowingly escapes my lips. Meredith pulls back smiling "you can't do that at the wedding." She says softly. "Says who?" I question opening her door to the car. "Me..." She counters "now when I have I ever listened to what you said?" I joke making Meredith giggle. "I can't wait to be your wife." I begin to pull out of the parking lot. "I can't wait for you to be my wife." I reply keeping my eyes on the road. The car ride is quiet comfortably but still quiet. "Mer?" I say briefly looking away from the road. "Hm?" She hums.

"Yo-you- said six..." she grabs my hand taking in between both of hers. "I'm not pregnant babe..." she replies bashfully looking at our hands. "Okay." I don't know what else to say. I know she wants a baby and it sounds like there's more to her sentence but she wanted a response. "I think." Meredith clarifies. I smile looking at her then the road again. "Look at me." My heart skips a beat. I pull the car to the side of the road. "Yeah... I- I might be... I don't know it's been so long and I'm older it could-" I cut her off with a kiss just to get her to stop rambling. "Are you serious?" I ask very clearly excited. She nods looking me in the eyes. "Y-yes. I'm serious I don't want you to get your hopes up babe... you saw what happened last time just-" She sighs I pull my hand away from her putting it on her face. "Stop." My voice was low I don't want to sound mad. "I just I don't want to fall in love with this baby and then not- not have it or-" I brush a strand of hair behind her ear "how pregnant are you?" I question. "I-I haven't taken a test." Her words are quite, hesitant, and almost scared. "You told me you're pregnant without taking a test?" I question. Meredith becomes tense pulling away from me.
