Merder mafia ✔️

37

I go upstairs to check on Meredith. She's sitting in bed feeding Greyson with him in her arms. I walk into the room and as soon as she sees me she covers herself up.

"Are you okay? You haven't talked about what happened while you were... gone" I said sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"I'm fine, everything's fine" she answered back before looking down at Greyson.

"It doesn't seem like it, your different and you're not as comfortable with me or anyone else like you used to be," I said looking at her.

"Well, things change," she said back still not looking at me.

"Meredith, please just tell me what happened... my parents think I should take you to a shrink but I don't know if that's the case so please just tell me so I can help you" I pleaded.

She looked at the bed before she looked back at Greyson.

"You already saw the video... more of that happened of the camera.. and they just... they touched me places that only you have ever done, and more things that only you have ever done. I don't want to say but I'm sure you already know what I mean" she answered before wiping her tears and looking back at Greyson under the blanket.

"They... raped you?" I asked to make sure I was getting everything right.

"Yea... multiple times," she said looking out the window.

"Okay... if you need anything... just let me know" I got up and kissed her I then head before leaving the room.

I walked out of the bedroom. Closed the door behind me before pressing my back against the hallway wall. I took a deep breath in and then out. I wiped the tears from my eyes. I went downstairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured some scotch into it.

I drank it all at once before placing the glass into the sink. I went back upstairs and into the bedroom.

"I tried pushing them off but they wouldn't listen... please don't be mad, Derek," Meredith said with tears streaming down her face.

"Meredith I'm not mad at you, it's not your fault," I told her walking over to her side of the bed.

Greyson was asleep in her arms with his face pressed against her breast. I pulled the blanket down and picked him up. Meredith quickly fixed her clothes when I did.

"did he latch on right away or did it take a bit?" I asked her bouncing him in my arms.

"He seemed a bit confused at first but he eventually latched on" she answered.

"does it make you uncomfortable to breastfeed?" I looked at her.

"a little, but it's fine. he's my son" she smiled a bit but it soon faded away.

"do you wanna talk to someone about it? like a therapist?" I looked at Greyson.

"I don't know I haven't thought about it," she said quietly.

"how about you try talking to me about it? and if it doesn't work then we'll take you to a therapist, how does that sound?" I asked looking at her. she nodded her head.

"Are you tired? do you need to get some sleep?" I asked before placing Greyson in his bassinet.

"I'm a little tired but not tired enough to fall asleep," she said quietly looking into her lap.

"Meredith?" I asked. she looked up at me.

"you can talk to me, I know you might not want to but you should. the more you talk about it the easier it will be for you to cope with it... I want us to be able to go back to the way things were" I told her sitting down at the end of the bed.

"things are different now so they never will go back to the same, but things will better you just have to talk to me about it. you don't have to do it right now, we can do it tonight when we're alone and Greyson is asleep" I told her. she nodded her head.

"did they do it the day I brought you home? when I found you were naked, passed out and bleeding"

"yea, they left saying that they were going to go kill some guy and that if I tried to leave or do anything they wouldn't kill me but they would kill Greyson"

"Are you hungry yet?" I asked changing the subject.

"a little" she answered.

"I'll go make you something if you need anything just call me. your phone is on the nightstand" I pointed to the nightstand before leaving the room.

-----

Derek left the room to make Meredith something to eat, whilst Meredith stayed in bed reminiscing everything that happened in the two days she was gone. she hated what happened to her in that cabin, in that basement, the things they did to her, and the way they made her feel, about herself. about herself as a mother and a wife. but she would much rather have something happen to her than have something happen to Greyson knowing it was her fault.

this isn't a very long chapter but I might do some time jumps further into the story because I already have two more kids' names planned for this story, and maybe some cheating thrown in there for fun.
