Why is it annoying? They survived explosions, drownings, shootings, and plane crashes together. He pulled her out of the ocean and she stood up to a mass murderer for him. It had been only a year at the most since he lost his oldest friend and she lost her little sister. Of course when Mer has to be cut open during a blackout Derek is going to be extra protective of her.
I don't get why some people feel like Derek is like a tool here, I think he is just freaking scared about Meredith and the baby. I specially love that "don't mess this up" from him when they are about to start the C-section.
How can people say that Derek was being mean and an asshole when he was trying to protect his wife and baby I mean Meredith had a miscarriage before this baby he doesn’t want this one to die too
Derek is just being a normal husband and father in this situation he's scared she's scared there stressed it's pitch dark trust me he's being a normal husband
"Not the minor risks, the big, ugly, scary risks. Because I'm a lightning rod for those!" Poor Mer. At this point, she's expecting bad things to happen.
