This Life

Chapter 10

As they had both worked on Christmas Day both Derek and Meredith had the following day off, and all Meredith wanted to do was to go outside and play in the snow. Derek had already mentioned he was going to teach Beth how to make a snowman.

Meredith had just given Beth her breakfast and had left her to play in her cot. She walked into the bedroom and grabbed a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom to have a quick shower. She opened the bathroom door to find a naked Derek coming out of the shower.

"Sorry, I should have knocked" as she quickly turned around and headed for the door.

"Meredith wait" Derek laughed as he grabbed a towel and walked over to her.

"I'm so sorry... I should have knocked" Meredith giggled. She then noticed just how pleased Derek was to see her and she started to get embarrassed.

"Don't be – you can walk in on my shower anytime. That's what couples do".
Derek said as he reached out and pulled her closer to him. She could feel his arousal pressing into her as he kissed her.

"Okay." Meredith answered as Derek started kissing down her neck and on to her breasts.

"Where's Beth?" he asked.

"Playing her cot... oh god don't stop" Meredith groaned.

"You know we never got to finish screaming orgasm number three" he huskily muttered in her ear.

"You're never going to let me forget that are you" Meredith moaned to response to his kisses.

"No." Derek answered as he lifted her wrapping her legs around his waist and carried her back into the shower.

After some hot shower sex Derek was called into the hospital for a consult. Due to the heavy snowfall there had been a road accident on the interstate and although Seattle Presbyterian was taking the majority of patients Seattle Grace was taking those classed as critical.

Thankfully Derek was only gone for a few hours and he arrived home with Mark who decided to come over and help Derek build a snowman. A short while later they were all in the front garden with Meredith sitting on the steps capturing the event on the camcorder when her cell phone rang, it was Christina.

She hit pause on the camcorder. "Hey Chris enjoying the snow?"

"Hell yes – I've had back to back surgeries all day. What about you? Christina excitedly answered.

"I'm watching Derek and Mark build a snowman, and then watching Beth crawl over knock it down" she laughed.

"I love that child – please tell me you're taping it" Christina said.

"Oh yes". Meredith laughed as Beth grabbed hold of the carrot they were planning to use as the snowman's nose and started hitting Mark with it.

"Owen wants to know if you are watching the game tonight" Christina asked continuing the conversation.

"I take it this is a hint that you want to come over and get drunk and pass out on the floor like the last time." Meredith answered never forgetting coming down the stairs at 5:30 in the morning to find a naked Owen and Christina sleeping on the lounge floor.

"Yes it's a hint but there will be no passing out. I have to be in here at 6am for rounds tomorrow".

Meredith quickly asked Derek and Mark about their plans for football game that night and it was soon arranged that Owen and Christina would bring the pizzas on their way from the hospital.

Several hours later they were sitting in the lounge with the blinds open watching the snow starting to fall again.

Beth had decided to show everyone her new trick – kissing. She had crawled around the floor to Derek and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
