Sorry this took so long to finish. This part was difficult for me to get done for some reason. This story is definitely winding down, but I do have a lot of loose-ends to wrap up, so it'll be a few parts yet.

Absolutely wonderful, as always. The 'gold star' moment made me laugh, which is something I needed after a very, very long day - so thank you!

Thank you :) The gold star thing was a late addition that I'm really happy with :)

Yay, another update!! Your dialogue is always spot-on, and I know you said this part was difficult to write but it doesn't come off that way.

I loved the wedding conversation with Meredith and her rambling, but Derek wanting to wait until he was fully healed was so sad! Really nice touch though!

It's so good to see that Derek IS healing. He's up walking around, he's more alert, he's flirting with her...things are getting better for him physically. Can't wait to see where you go next!

Thank you! Dialog is almost always what I write first. It's the easiest for me. It's the first line of defense in making someone seem in character. This part was difficult! But more in a sense of flagging enthusiasm than technically difficult. I'm really glad I was able to finish this one before I needed to take my break. Derek is indeed healing. Slowly, but surely. I wanted it to be a slow, steady climb.

So cute and sweet! It's wonderful to see Derek getting back on his feet, both literally and figuratively!

You do such a great job of mixing the fluff with the more serious underlying issues. I love the way you do it!

Off to the next part! :)

Thank you :) Derek is definitely getting better! More of that to come! I'm glad you like my fluffy/serious mix. It's the one way I can stomach doing it for a prolonged period :) I'm awful at fluff just to be fluffy :)

Thank you so much :) I agree, Meredith is going to be having doubts for a long while yet. She can be sure, but she can't be SURE. I'm glad you liked that pugilist sentence, that was one of those that I spent a long time on trying to word it the way I wanted. I just loved writing this part, despite how hard it was for me to finish, because it did show Meredith and Derek actually talking. Talking about deep subjects and things that you would talk about with the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with.
