Leighton Amelia Shepherd giggled as she snuck out of her bed as Meredith stayed sleeping. If she wasn't going to wake up she was going to find Daddy. Her Daddy was always awake and she giggled as she walked down the hall, standing on her toes to reach his bedroom door. She covered her face with her small hand as she giggled and ran to the bed. "Daddy Daddy!"
"Good morning Leigh." Derek laughed as his little girl struggled and finally got her self up onto his big bed and curled up to him.
"Daddy I gotta princess in my bed!"
"You do?" He chuckled, kissing the top of her head.
"Uh huh." Leighton nodded. "Sleeping Beauty!"
"And why aren't you still in bed?"
"Cause my eyes are awake." She said, her head bopping with her.
"Oh okay." Derek laughed, holding his daughter in his arms. "Love you, Leigh."
"Love you Daddy!"
"Are you hungry?" He ran his fingers through his daughter's hair, getting out the tangles.
"Muesli like Daddy!"
"I was thinking pancakes."
"Yummy!" Leighton breathed.
"What do you think...would we wake up Meredith?"
"Lets go wake her up!"
"Okay." Derek chuckled, helping her off the bed.
"Are you gonna kiss her?" Leighton landed on the floor, turning around to face her dad.
"Why would I kiss her?"
"Cause she's sleeping Beauty Daddy!"
"Oh...I don't think so, Leigh. I think she's um...she'll wake up if I don't kiss her."
"Come on Daddy!" Leighton scurried down the hall.
"I'm coming." He laughed, shaking his head. Trevor was never a morning person and Leighton was wide awake early.
"Shh Daddy." Leighton put her finger over her lips.
"I thought we were waking her up."
"Wake her up Daddy!"
"Why don't you wake her up?"
"Okay." Leighton climbed up on her own bed.
"Just...be careful." Derek breathed.
"Meredith...." Leighton leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Daddy says its time to get up."
"Mmm....come here." Meredith breathed, opening the covers for Leighton.
"It's time to wake up...We're going to eat pancakes!"
"Leighton..." Meredith pouted as Derek sat down on the bed.
"Wake up...wake up...wake up." Leighton bounced up and down on the bed.
"Leighton...calm down please." Derek told his daugther.
"Leighton." Meredith giggled tiredly, turning onto her back.
"Don't you want pancakes?"
"I like pancakes."
"Then wake up!" Leighton giggled.
"Fine." Meredith yawned, pulling Leighton down next to her as she tried to pretend Derek wasn't there, even as he put his hand on her side.
