Chapter 29 Let It Snow

Chapter XXIX
Let It Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Derek watched as Meredith starred out the window of the plane. She nervously held Evie in her arms in a cute Christmas onesie. Alison sat quietly between them in her car seat, sound asleep from the smooth motions of the airplane.

"Do you want me to get her for a little so you can sleep? There's still three hours left on the flight," he offered.

"Yeah, since it's going to be 9am when we get there, we won't be able to sleep until tonight," she said as she handed Evie to him. She leaned her head against the neck pillow and was fast asleep, Evie on the other hand was not.

"I'm happy you're awake but when we get to Manhattan, you are going to be sleepy and grumpy," Derek frowned and her face just lit up with a smile.

"You don't want daddy to worry, do you?" He asked and she smiled again at him but she added a coo with it.

"I thought you were going to sleep through the flight but it turns out your sister is a sleep flyer and you are not," he said as he was talking to her.

He laid the seat back a little and put her on his chest, hoping she would fall asleep. He was correct when she slowly fell asleep on her chest. He drifted off into a sleep also but was awoken by the flight attendant saying buckle up and prepare for landing. He looked down and saw Evie was still sleeping along with Meredith and Alison. He reached over and shook Meredith slightly to put her seat belt on.

"I can't believe Alison slept the whole flight," he said as he was trying to buckle himself with Evie in his arms.

"Me either, and I thought she was going to stay awake," she motioned at Evie.

"Mark, wake up," Derek said as he reached across the isle and hit Mark. He jumped slightly and looked at Derek.

"What the hell?" He groaned.

"We are landing, buckle up Lex," Derek replied.

"It's snowing," Meredith said as she looked out the window.

"Look's like they are going to have a white Christmas for their first Christmas," Derek smiled as he referred to the girls.

"I haven't seen snow on Christmas since med school but of course I didn't really celebrate Christmas so it didn't matter to me," she noted.

"The last time I seen snow on Christmas was when I was 10," Lexie said.

"Me and Der are use to it," Mark spoke up. Derek nodded in agreement as he slowly rubbed circles on Evie's back to sooth her as the plane was descending. Alison stayed asleep while Evie began to wake up as they were getting their things together to get off the plane. Meredith grabbed the wrap and placed it around her, sticking Evie in between so she could carry her easily. Derek grabbed Alison's car seat and his carry-on bag.

"I'll get Meredith's bag," Mark said as he grabbed her bag. Meredith got the babies bag and they got off the plane and headed for baggage claim.

"It's so much colder it feels like," Lexie said as they were walking through the airport.

"It's the same temperature Lex," Derek said.

"Maybe seeing the snow makes it feel colder," she shrugged.
