MEREDITH SHEPHERD

I was in the bedroom putting on Greyson's diaper, I had just given him a bath. I wrapped it up and moved Greyson a bit and took the rest of his clothes off. I picked him up and laid him down in the middle of the bed and put two pillows on the sides of him.

I took the diaper and carried it into the nursery. I threw it away in the bathroom and then got some clothes. I went back into the bedroom where Greyson was still lying in bed where I had left him.

I removed the pillows and dressed him into his clothes, it was a beige full-footed onesie that also covered his hands so he wouldn't scratch his face.

I gently picked him up and bounced him a bit with his head laying on my chest.

"Meredith, come here for a sec!" I heard Derek call from downstairs.

I carried Greyson downstairs and went into the kitchen where Derek was standing by the counter with his glasses on.

"what is it?" I asked, swaying side it side with Greyson.

"there's a guy who has been out for me since day one and he somehow found out about Greyson," he said firmly.

"How did they find out about him?" I asked confused, we've been trying to keep Greyson in the house and trying to make sure no one found out about him.

"I don't know, maybe they saw you bringing him to the office a few times"

"then just tell them it's your niece or nephew"  I shrugged.

"that's not going to stop then from trying to get to him, even if he was my niece or nephew they would still want him because he's related to me"

"How do we keep them from finding him," I asked.

"Whatever we need to do," he said walking over to me, putting his hand on the back of Greyson's head, and kissing him on the forehead. he pulled away and kissed me on the lips passionately.

"what if they do take him," I asked tearing up.

"They won't" he assured me, running his hand through my hair.

"but they could, what if they do when your awake and he's asleep in the nursery and they come into the house without me knowing?" I panicked.

"Meredith, calm down. that's not gonna happen" he said calmly.

I nodded my head a bit and turned back to Greyson and pressed multiple kisses to his head. I left the kitchen and went to sit down on the couch. I made myself comfortable, cradling Greyson in my arms.

"Meredith," Derek said softly walking into the living room.

I didn't say anything and pulled Greyson up to my chest and kissed his cheek.

"Meredith," he said again and sat down next to me.

"what?" I sighed.

"Greyson is going to be fine," he said putting his hand on my back and rubbing it up and down.

"you don't know that" I leaned back onto the couch, pulling Greyson close to me.

"I'll go make dinner," I said standing up, kissing me on to head, and then Greyson then went into the kitchen.

Greyson started to fall asleep on my chest. I stood up and walked upstairs. I carried Greyson into our bedroom and then laid him down in the middle of the bed. I pulled his blanket over him a bit and put both pillows beside him.

I leaned down and kissed his forehead, he moved his hand over his face before smacking his lips and then moving a bit to get comfortable lying on his side and falling back to sleep.

I smiled at him and left the room to go back downstairs and back into the kitchen. Derek was standing at the stove while cooking. he turned around when he heard me walk in.

"Hey, where's Greyson?" he asked softly.

"he's asleep... in our bed"

"why is he sleeping in our bed?" he asked smiling a bit before turning back to the stove.

"because I don't trust his nursery" I walked over to him.

"nobody is finding in his closet" he sighed.

"good, then there's nothing wrong with him sleeping in our bed."

"nobody will be able to take him, there are a bunch of guards outside that will make sure nobody gets in"

"Still, doesn't mean I'm not going to worry about him. I'm his mother I'm always going to worry about him" I said quietly leaning against the counter.

I was watching Derek cook dinner for a few minutes before we heard Greyson crying. I said I would go check on his and then left. I ran up the stairs when I was halfway up the stairs the crying stopped. I made my way the rest of the stairs, I walked down the halls, and then went into our room to find Greyson.

I looked on the bed and I couldn't see him. I walked closer into the bedroom and thought he was just under the blanket, I pulled the blanket down and saw that he wasn't there. the pillows were still in place. my eyes filled with tears and then looked on the floor, he was nowhere.

I thought that I might have brought him into the nursery and just forgot. I went into the nursery and looked in his crib and saw that it was empty.

I put my hand over my mouth as tears started to stream down my cheeks. he was gone.
