Tape and glue guy

My once upon a time

katie bryce ... 16-Year-Old female, Subarachnoid aneurysm. From a fall during rhythmic gymnastics
Our one in a million girl

I smiled in remembrance of Katie, and turned to the second note attached to it.

It was the first surgery you ever scrubbed in on, our first surgery together, our first save. I was so irresistible, you jumped me in an elevator whilst we were working her case

I laughed out loud at this. I DID NOT 'jump' him. Or maybe I did. Oh well yeah I did.

I continued down the path toward the next light, enjoying whatever game this was. It was like a treasure hunt, like the ones I never had as a child.

I reached the next post and saw another CT and another note.

Right here is a cerebral cyst. Tough save, but we did it... I kissed you in the stairwell after the surgery.

I continued down the path, LITERALLY taking a trip down memory lane, and reached the next post.

Grade II meningioma, mid grade tumour. Bailey threw you out to the OR because she caught you and I in your driveway, in my car

I continued to the next post, which read:

And right here ... This is a 7-Hour craniotomy, And you held the clamp the entire time, never flinched. That's when I knew you were gonna be an incredible surgeon.

My eyes started to water at this. I remember that surgery, I was a second-year resident and Derek let me assist rather than just observing.

I looked up and saw i was almost at the dreamhouse, I was at the start of our driveway, where there was another note and CT.

Beth Monroe, Who made our clinical trial a success by surviving. You talked me into putting her under. That's when I knew I needed you.

I felt tears running down my cheeks but I made no move to wipe then away, instead continuing up the driveway, which was lined in lavender-scented candles. They continued all the way to the wrap-around porch where I saw Derek standing there, dressed in his suit.

I took off in a sprint towards him, and threw myself into his arms. Fresh tears springing to my eyes
"Hey Babe" he said, releasing me from his hold
"I've got something I need to ask you"
I burst into tears when I saw him take out a ring box and take my left hand in his.

"If there's a crisis, you don't freeze. You move forward. You get the rest of us to move forward, Because you've seen worse, you've survived worse. And you know we'll survive, too. You say you're all ... dark and twisty, But that's not a flaw. It's a strength. It makes you who you are. It makes you even more the woman I love. Now I know you hate traditions, but you're getting one anyway."

He laughed and got down on one knee, still holding my hand tightly. He smiled and looked up at me, at least I think he did, I couldn't tell because of the tears blurring my vision.

"I love you Meredith, and i want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want all the ups and all the downs, all the fights and make up sex, and every one of your crappy babies. So Meredith Grey, will you marry me?"

"YES!" I shouted and fell to my knees in front of him. I barely registered him slipping the ring on my finger before I crashed my lips onto his.
Our tongues dueled whilst tears ran down bith of our cheeks. We eventually broke away, laughing and smiling so wide my jaw ached.
"We're engaged" he said almost I'm awe
"We're engaged!" I said, squealing before I kissed him again.

We stood up and he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, laying his hands over mine on my lower torso. I took the moment to appreciate the ring. It was perfect, not big and flashy, but not tiny either. It had 3 white diamonds set in the centre of a platinum sliver ring and was beautiful and elegant- perfect for me.

"Well I guess this overshadows the present I got you" I said, remembering the news I had been waiting all day to tell him.

"You got me a present?" He said, turning me around in his arms.
I kissed him slow and deeply before running towards the driveway to grab the small silver bag I had unceremoniously dumped on the floor in my hurry to run to him.

I ran back and thrust it into his hands eagerly
"Open it" I could barely contain my excitement

He pulled out the item and read what it said in the front, looking up at me in shock with fresh tears in his eyes.

"W-We're having a baby?!"
I saw his face morph into the biggest smile I'd ever seen, not unlike the one he'd shown just minutes ago when I said yes.

I nodded vigorously, a fresh onslaught of tears gracing my eyes. He started to laugh and picked me up, swirling me around

"I'M GONNA BE A DAD!!!" He said joyously, before placing me back down again and kissing me passionately on the lips, our tongues dueled for a minute, before air became a necessity. He smiled again, still crying before he kneeled before my stomach. He carefully lifted up my t-shirt to expose the smooth skin of my stomach and kissed all over my flat abdomen. He leant his forehead against it, taking in the moment I ran my hand through his curls as I heard him talk in the cutest voice to the baby

"Hi baby I'm your daddy, I love you so much already... try not to give mommy a hard time alright? I love you and i cant wait ro meet you" he gave my stomach one last kiss before standing and kissing me hard on the lips.

"I love you my gorgeous fiancee" He said once we broke apart
"I love you too fiancee"
