Prompt: Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway. --Mary Kay Ash

Disclaimer: If I owned, Derek and Meredith would have nothing to do with one another...
Notes: A little underlying snarkiness as I totally do not sail this ship. Unfortunately, Derek does.
Derek didn’t like to think about odds or probabilities. In the OR, he didn’t believe in giving up on a patient because, statistically, they probably weren’t going to come to after four attempts at revival. He believed in doing what felt right to him. But not just in surgery-everywhere, all through life.
For example: his relationship with Meredith Grey. For everything they had been through, they shouldn’t be together. The odds weren’t good for a man and his mistress-whether he viewed her as one or not. Statistically, they should have called it quits a long time ago. But Derek believes in what feels right, not what’s easiest. At least, he believes as much when it’s convenient for him. That’s not the point, though.
All it takes with the two of them is faith. The past year, when he couldn’t stop looking at her and it very nearly drove him crazy, he knew-subconsciously, he just knew-that it would work out for them. After over a decade of marriage to another woman, and a love lasting even longer, two months with Meredith was all he needed. He was hooked. So he believed, despite the odds and the whispers behind their backs and the fact that his mother and sisters would kill him-he believed in what he and Meredith had.
