Into the dark

Chapter 4

Derek woke early the next morning to the sound of Meredith throwing up in the bathroom. He got up and did the same thing he had for the past week. He went into the bathroom, knelt next to her, massaged her back and held her hair out of her face.
After a few minutes she stopped and flushed the toilet. "I guess your pretty used to this by now" Meredith said to Derek

"Yea I guess that you could say that I am" he helped her up "Come on why don't you get cleaned up and meet me downstairs. I'll cook you some breakfast"

"You cook?"

"Anything but grilled cheese of course"

She laughed "Oh of course"

"Take your time we don't have to be at the hospital for another 2 hours"

"Ok"

Derek gave her a kiss on her forehead and went downstairsand started making breakfast. Meredith sat on the floor of the bathroom a bit more just think about how truly amazing their life together was. They probably had fights like any normal couple but they loved each other so much, it was unbelievable. She cleaned herself up and went downstairs to find Derek. It did take awhile for her to find the kitchen but she finally did.

She sat down at the bar and watched him move around the kitchen with as much style as in the operating room. When he spotted her, he threw the towel over his shoulder and smiled at her.

"So I was thinking, since you really can't remember much and I know your not going to want to stay home" She smiled "Then you can just stick with me today, you know kinda of like my intern until you can get your memory back"

"That sounds fine"

"Are you sure?" he asked

"I still feel like an intern, so it be like just spending the whole day with you"

He gave her a grin and put the finishing touches on their breakfast

"So what has my McDreamy prepared for me this morning?" Meredith asked

"Eggs, bacon, and pancakes" He said while putting the plates in front of her

"This smells amazing" She took a bite "Wow I'm impressed, you can actually cook"

"Haha"

They ate mostly in silence for the next half hour until Meredith had finished and decided to go and take a shower.

"I'll get your clothes for you" he told her

"Thanks"

She went upstairs into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She looked at herself in the mirror and you really couldn't tell that 6 years had past. She didn't look any older but her hair was a bit shorter than before. She pealed off her clothes and stepped into the blazing hot shower. Meredith always loved hot showers. She always believed that if they were hot enough, they would burn away all of her problems.

She finished up, found some clothes that Derek had slipped into the bathroom and blow dried her hair then put it up in a loose bun. She didn't worry about any makeup and headed downstairs to hear Derek singing to The Clash.

"Darling you have got to let me know

Should I stay or should I go

If you say that you are mine

I will stay until the end of time"

She laughed and continued walking down the stairs. She stood at the bottom of the stairs for several minutes just watching him. He turned around and when he saw her, his face became bright red.
