We spent the day together and it was time for Derek to go. He brought his suitcase outside and put it into his car. Everyone left and it was just us.
"Derek" I said tearing up
He turned around and looked at me. He walked in front of me and kissed my lips. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.
"I love you Meredith" he whispered kissing my cheek
"Derek please be safe" I said
"I will. I don't want to leave but I have to" he said pulling away
He went into his car and I went into the house. Theirs is the first time that he's really gone away since the twins were born. I miss him so much already. I went upstairs and went into the twins room. I grabbed a blanket and sat onto the rocking chair. I reclined it. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up the next morning and yawned. I cuddled into the blanket and laid here for a little bit. Today was Christmas and I can't spend it with Derek but I have my keeps to keep me happy. I started getting a phone call. I answered it
"Hello" I asked
"Hey Mer I wanted to see how you're doing. How's everything down there" he asked
"Well someone's making something downstairs. I don't know who it is and I can't wait for you to get back" I said
"I'll be there hopefully tomorrow night" he said
"Hopefully" I said
"Is it snowing" he asked
I got up and opened the blinds
"Yes it is. It's really snowing out there" I said
"Can you FaceTime me so I can see you and the twins" he asked
"Of course" I smiled
I switched the call to FaceTime
"Ugh I love your beautiful face" he smirked
I started smiling and biting my lip. I turned the camera around and faced it onto the sleeping kids.
"Hey guys daddy loves you so much and misses you. I can't wait to see you both when I get home" he said
I turned the camera back to me and looked at him. Someone knocked on the door in his hotel.
"Hey I'll call you back in a little bit" he said
"Okay" I said
"Bye" he said
I hung up the phone and the twins started waking up. I changed and fed them. I put them back into their cribs and left the room. I went downstairs and everyone was over. It was crazy down here. The kids were drinking hot cocoa.
"Hey finally you're up" Amelia said walking over to me
She got me a hot chocolate and I drank a sip.
1 hour later
The kids were opening presents. I held the twins into my arms.
"Damn Meredith Derek missed out" Amelia said
"Yeah. He did" I said
"He's a dick" Lizzie said next to me
"Mmmhm" I said
"Speaking of dicks. Dad came to talk to me again" Amelia said
"What" Lizzie and I said in sync
"Yeah I got a restraining order against him finally" Amelia said
"Good. That's great to hear" I said
Amelia and Lizzie held the twins. They played with them. All of the kids finished opening presents and Amelia helped the twins open there's. She opened a teddy bear and handed the tiny things to them. They loved it
"Ooo I'm glad they love them. For now" Kathleen laughed.
They opened all of the presents. The twins were so excited.
3 hours later
We were all eating. The twins were down for their naps. It was snowing more and the kids went outside to play. We all cleaned up the kitchen and got everything prepped for dinner. I went upstairs and took a shower. I got out and dried my hair. I put my pajamas on and my phone started ringing. It was Derek and he wanted to face time. I went over to the bed and answered the phone. His shirt was off and he was laying on his bed
"Hey" he smiled
"Hi" I smiled
"I miss you" he said
"I miss you too" I sighed
"Did you guys open presents yet" he asked
"Yes and the twins loved everything" I said
"How are you?" He asked
"Honestly your sisters are being nice to me for once" I said
"That's amazing" he said
"Yeah I'm paranoid" I smiled
"So who was at your door earlier" I asked
"It was my boss. She came to talk to me about some stuff" he said
"She" I asked
"Yes" he said
"What's her name" I asked
"She's the president" he sighed
"The president. Your boss is not the president" I laughed
He wasn't laughing
"What the fuck Derek. Why. What. How. I-" I said shocked
"Honestly I don't know myself. I got here and she showed up. I almost passed out. I can't keep this from you. She told me to but I can't so you have to keep it away from everyone else" he said
"I will. I promise" I smiled
He knew exactly what I wanted
"No Mer you cannot meet her- yet" he smiled
"Yet so I can" I smiled
"Yes but not now" he smiled
"I better meet her" I smiled
"Oh trust me you guys would love each other" he smiled
"So what are you doing right now" I asked
"I'm chilling for now until I have to go back out there to the lab" he said
"Oh interesting" I smirked
"Don't give me that look" he smiled
"What look" I said giving him the look
"The look. Our look" he whispered
I did it again
"You know what you do to me" he said
"Mmhm" I said unbuttoning my shirt so he can see
"Fuck" he groaned clearing his throat and adjusting himself
"Mer" he said
The door opened and I looked over.
"Hey i have to talk to you. Are you on the phone with Derek" Lizzie said
"Yeah" I said
My shirt was covered so she couldn't see.
"Hey Lizzie" Derek said
"Hey Derek" she said
"How is everything over there" he smiled into the phone
"It's crazy out here. There's about to be a snow storm. Get your ass back here before it or you won't be able to come back home for at least a couple more days" she said
"What" I said
"Yeah it's supposed to get really bad tonight" she said leaving the room
"Shit" he said getting up
"Yep" I said
"I'm going to pack" he said
"No you can stay down there if you want" I said
"I don't want to" he said
"Okay I'm not going to stop you" I said
He hung up the phone and I laid my phone next to me. I laid back and sighed deeply.
30 minutes later
I got out of bed and went to check on the twins. I left them and went downstairs.
5 hours later
We all ate dinner. Everyone left after we cleaned up. It was night time. The storm was starting to get stronger. The twins were both crying because of the thunder. I grabbed flashlights and candles just in case. I sat on the couch and held the twins into my arms. They finally stopped crying and I started watching tv. All of the power went out. I laid the twins down and lit the candles around the living room and kitchen. I grabbed the kids and a flashlight. I turned the flashlight on and walked upstairs with the twins. I laid them into their crib and left the room. I lit a candle in the hallway and master bedroom. I went back downstairs and got a bunch of blankets because we were going to be cold. I brought them up to my room and laid them onto the bed. The wind was loud outside. I went back into the twins room and grabbed them. I brought them into my room and laid them onto the bed because it was really cold in there room. I pulled the blankets over there little bodies and put pillows next to them. I went downstairs and laid a bunch of blankets down onto the floor. I moved the couch and coffee table. The blankets were next to the fireplace.
1 hour later
I heard someone messing with the front door and walked over to it. I opened it and Derek walked in. He had ice all over his face and he was freezing.
"Derek" I said
He walked in and I shut the door. I went over to the fireplace and lit the logs. I helped him take his freezing cold outfit off and he stripped fully. I held onto him to try and give him body heat. I let go and he went over to the fire. He stood in front of it to try and get warm. I went upstairs and grabbed pajamas and boxers for him. I grabbed the twins and brought them downstairs. I laid them next to the fire and gave Derek the pajamas. I sat down next to the twins and held them into my lap. He sat next to me.
"I have never seen anything like that weather before" he said
He was still shivering. I put my hand onto his chest and laid him back down. He pulled the blanket over him and laid the twins next to him.
"It's crazy out there and I was so worried about thinking what would happen to your plane in this weather. You should've stayed but at least you're okay" I sighed
"I couldn't do that to the twins" he said
"Well they could've had a high chance of never seeing you again so why take the risk" I said
"I'm here okay. That's all that matters" he said
"I can't believe this" I said lying back
Woman pres😩 like mommy
Why take the risk Derek hmmm do you have something to hide? 😏
