Thank you for all of your reviews! Only because of this reviews I have decided to write the final chapter of this story!

I am so sorry that you had to wait so long for it, but this last months were really hard for me and I had only very little time (as I finished school and had to study for the final exams and all that stuff).

Now I hope that you will like this last chapter and maybe you will recognize parts of it! :)
There will be some timejumps!

There is something else I wanted to talk to you about. I would like to write a Japril FF and I am right now trying to find a cowriter. If you are interested please send me a message!

Now enjoy the chapter! :D

Meredith's POV

I was woken up by the first sunbeams of the day. Slowly I opened my eyes. Derek was lying next to me. He was already awake. As soon as he saw that I was waking up he said: "Good morning my beautiful wife!". He leaned forward and kissed me. Derek and I remarried yesterday at the same date as our Post-It-Wedding was so many years ago. After everything we have been threw we decided to not just sign a paper which says that our divorce is rescinded, but to remarry. This time the wedding was in a small, but very lovely church. All our family and our closest friends were there. Even my father and Molly and Addison and of course Christina came the long way to Seattle to celebrate with us.
The wedding was perfect. I was wearing a simple white wedding dress. The dress was an A-line and it had pearls at the top and flowers at the waist. Derek was wearing a dark blue tuxedo with a black bow tie and a purple flower in his pocket. He looked very handsome in it. Amelia and Maggie were wearing very beautiful purple dresses. They were our best men. Zola and Ellis were wearing beautiful, tiny white dresses. They were our flower girls. Bailey was wearing the same tuxedo as Derek, but many numbers smaller and without the tie and the flower. He had the responsibility to bring in our rings. He was so excited.
April, Callie, Arizona, Christina of course and even Miranda and Moly were my bridesmaids. Richard and Alex walked me down the aisle.

First I wanted Christina to be my best man but she refused to do it because she wanted me to give this honour to my sister Maggie. At least she agreed to be one of my bridesmaids.

While Alex and Richard were walking me down the aisle Callie and Miranda were singing "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. It was so beautiful. Almost everyone was crying.

Then there was the ceremony. Derek's words were so sweet. They melted my heart immediately. He talked about our beginnings, about Addison, about Renee and about everything we have been threw together. He talked about how his love to me grew through everything we have been through. I really had to cry.

At the end of the ceremony Miranda and Callie sang "The Rose" by Bette Miller. It again was so beautiful.

After the ceremony there was the party in the house that Derek had built for me and Zola. We moved back into it after my recovery.

I couldn't believe that all of this was already almost a year ago. Renee was in a mental hospital for the rest of her life as the jury found her unaccountable.
But it didn't matter to me because like this she also was locked up for the rest of her life.

"Let's get up!", Derek said suddenly after a few minutes. I nodded and then we got up. Derek helped me up and then looked at my little baby bump as I was already four months pregnant. This time we agreed on not wanting to know the gender of our baby. We just wanted to let our life come and not to try to control everything because I believe that this somehow is the reason why we got to the point where Derek was dead. But from now on everything should go different. Derek and I changed ourselves and got up to the living room where our three kids were already playing peacefully together.

~10 months later~

Today was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and it was really hot for Seattle. Derek and I were outside on our porch. I was reading a book and he was just getting to bears. Zola, Ellis and Bailey were playing together in the garden. Our youngest child, who we named Markus Alexander Shepherd was peacefully sleeping in the cradle next to me. Everything was just perfect. Our life was perfect and the lives of our friends. Amelia and Owen got married about a month ago, April and Jackson will soon be parents to a little healthy girl, Maggie is in a relationship with the new resident Andrew DeLuca, Alex and Jo are engaged and Callie and Arizona are back together.
In the hospital have also changed a lot of things. Owen had retired as chief of surgery as he wanted to spend more time with Amelia. He still is chief of traumatology. Amelia is still chief neurology as Derek wanted to concentrate on research projects with whom he would be able to help other brain dead patients to get back to live. For this the Harper Avery Foundation together with the hospital board members opened up a new wing, the Samuel Avery Research Wing.

After Owen had given up his job as chief Miranda Bailey was able to assert herself against a few well-known doctors. First thing she did was making me chief of general surgery which I still am today.

As I was now looking back to my life I don't only see the bad things that have happened to me, I first of all see all the good things which led me to where and who I am today.

Today I am a proud mother of four children, although I would have never imagined to ever become a mother to anybody. But my kids love me and I love them.

Today I am a wife to a man I love more than my own life. He is treating me like a goddess every day. He is showing me every day how much he loves me and so do I.

Today I am part of a big family. I have two half-sisters, my father, Richard, who is something like a father to me, a very kind mother in law and four sisters in law. I have so many nieces and nephews who call me Aunt Meredith and who love me and my kids, who love to visit us in their holidays with their parents or the elder one's even without their parents. They love to stay in the guest room which we have built especially for our numerous visitors. We even make a trip together to a place within the U.S. every year together with everyone of Derek's crazy family. Amelia and I are not best friends but we are getting along pretty well.

Speaking about friends. I would have never achieved so much without them. They are part of my family and together with my family and Derek's family, who is now also my family, they make me whole. We are one big family and, no matter what the future will bring, we will always be. And Derek and I will always be together until we will be 110 years old and we will both die.

I stood up and took the baby out of the cradle and placed him in my arms. Derek had put down the two bottles of bear and had placed a hand at my hips. Together the three of us walked to Zola, Bailey and Ellis and together we played in our garden for the rest of the day. And today I was sure that my kids will have bright future, where they will be loved and where they will get their one families and where they will have incredible jobs and of course incredible friends.

Just everything will be fine because I will do whatever I will have to do that it will be – forever.
