I missed this story :) I loved the update as usual. Derek is getting so much better, and yay, he's finally back in the OR, at least for a little while. The flashbacks were utterly adorable. Audrey is such a pretty name, so is Samantha, but that one is - unfortunately - already taken :) looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks so much for the feedback :) I was worried people wouldn't like this chapter as much because MerDer was not front and center, but I really needed the opportunity to show Derek's progress at work, and I'm pleased you enjoyed the results! I was reading LST the other day and I noticed Samantha popped up a bunch, once as one of the Shepherd brood, and once as a hotel receptionist. Apparently, that's one of my favorite names, too!

I really should make myself comment on this right after reading it and not years later :-) I very much enjoyed this chapter with all the various plots popping up. Well done. You once again managed to show how much better Derek already is but how much he still has to work on. Small steps, but at least he's getting there. I love that Meredith understands him and his fears so well and that she continues to be the support he needs. *sigh* And Samanatha's new trick was utterly adorable.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so glad you liked Samantha's trick :) I scratched my head over that one for a while, trying to think of something she could do that would be useful, instead of just neat to watch.

Finally caught up with this fic, and even 2 years later, I'm still enjoying it just as much as I did in the beginning! I know I said this before, but I prefer your version of season 7 over Shonda's any day (though I think that's the general consensus of every MerDer fan). It's great to see them moving on as a couple and individually as characters, especially Derek. Even if he doesn't have the confidence to operate yet, just standing in the OR is an accomplishment. And to see Meredith by his side is just perfect. Love all of the baby talk/prep, too!

I saw that you posted the next chapter, so I'll be reading that ASAP! :)

Thank you so much for the feedback -- I'm so glad to hear you're still reading :) Derek's definitely improving in leaps and bounds at this point, and will only continue to do so! The name picking was one of my favorite bits :)
