You've got a Way

56.

"Hmmm..." Derek Shepherd lightly moaned as he rolled over in bed to wrap his arms around his wife of only twelve hours. They hadn't gone to sleep that long ago but he was awake again and just wanted to be with her. She was sleeping soundly in the same curled up position that she always did. He knew he shouldn't wake her up. It had been a long, crazy day, filled with tears of joy and disappointment about negative pregnancy tests. But he wanted to wake her up. She was his wife. Mrs. Meredith Shepherd.

"Mer...Mrs. Shepherd..." He whispered in her ear as he lightly sucked on her earlobe.

"It's your turn to change Emma..."

"Emma's not here." He smiled.

"Oh yeah...." She groaned, swatting at her nose like she always did.

"Hmm..." He grinned, kissing her cheek as he ran a hand down her bare side.

"I'm cold...."

"We can warm up."

"Mmm...." Her eyes stayed close, as she cuddled further into him.

"I love you being my wife." He whispered.

"Oh..." She turned, burying her head in his chest.

"That wasn't a dream right?"

"Sleep..."

"Sex..."

"We just had a lot of sex."

"I know...amazing...hot sex." He smiled, kissing her neck.

"No condom...."She swatted at her nose again.

"All part of my plan." He laughed, kissing her lips.

"Derek..." She rolled onto her back, wiping her tired eyes.

"Yeah?" He smiled as she opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"I was sleeping."

"I know."

"You should sleep too."

"I'm not tired."

"And I got tipsy off of champagne."

"It was adorable."

"Licking it off of you and you pouring it down my throat was adorable?"

"That was just hot."

"And now I'm sleepy." She sighed, looking up at him with those eyes he loved so much.

"Sorry." He smiled, kissing her softly.

"Sleep?"

"Nope."

"Why not?" She giggled tiredly.

"Because I want time with my wife...preferably my conscious wife."

"Can't I just lie here?"

"That's no fun."

"But I'm sleepy."

"Wake up."

"Seriously?" Meredith pouted against his lips.

"Seriously." Derek laughed, kissing her lips and then her forehead.

"Are you still on the baby kick?" She yawned.

"I'm going to be until that test is positive."

"I could just lie here and you could go to town."

"That's just creepy Mer." Derek frowned.
