Merder mafia ✔️

42

I was still in the living room waiting until I heard two cars pull into the driveway. the curtain was open but it was dark outside so I couldn't really see anything.

I heard the keys jingle a bit before the lock on the door turned and the door opened.

Meredith walked inside and then looked at me surprised.

"wow you really meant it when you said you would be waiting for me," she said before closing the door behind her then setting Greyson's carrier down on the floor.

"you wanted to see him? there he is" she said before walking into the kitchen.

"Meredith," I started while standing up and following her into the kitchen.

"what do you want Derek? don't you have a girlfriend to go see?" she said while sipping her glass of water.

"It wasn't what It looked like," I told her.

"so you weren't kissing some girl in the living room while my son was sleeping in his bassinet not too far from you?" she asked sarcastically.

"our son" I corrected.

"we'll see," she said back.

"she's my ex-girlfriend..."

"doesn't look like an ex"

"I haven't seen her in over ten years when we broke up, I don't know why she was here today"

"well she seems to know very well what she wants"

"she doesn't even live near here, or at least she didn't when we broke up"

"things change in ten years" she rolled her eyes.

"exactly, in those ten years I met you, I fell in love with you, I married you, we had a son together... please don't let her ruin our marriage," I said with tears in my eyes.

"Why should I believe that story? How do I know you didn't just make it up?"

"Would I ever lie to you?"

"I don't know, would you?"

"Meredith,"

"Derek,"

"I didn't and I wouldn't cheat on you. I love you and Greyson far too much to do that, to you, to Greyson, she's not worth ruining our marriage. she's supposed to be married anyways"

"so you talked to her long enough to know she's supposed to be married?"

"No, when I talked to her years ago she said she was going to marry my at the time friend"

"Did she have a ring?"

"I don't know I didn't look"

"... I don't know if I want to stay here tonight," she said quietly before putting the glass down and walking out of the kitchen.

"Meredith, please," I begged her.

she stopped and turned around to look at me.

"I'm staying in the guest bedroom," she said.

"I can't sleep alone, you know this," I said to her.

"sleep with Greyson," she said before walking upstairs.

I sighed before going over where Greyson's carrier was. I picked up Greyson and carried him upstairs. I walked into the bedroom. I set the carrier down on the bed. I unbuckled Greyson and took him out of the carrier before bringing him over to the bassinet and laying him down.

once Greyson was settled I walked into the bathroom. I turned the shower on and waited for it to get hot. I got undressed and then got into the shower.

I stood under the water for a few seconds before washing my body. then washed my hair.

I got out of the shower. I wrapped a towel around my waist. I went over to the sink and brushed my teeth.

I grabbed another towel and dried my hair. I walked back into the bedroom and went to the closet. I grabbed a pair of sweatpants. I dropped the towel and put on the pants.

I turned around and saw Meredith standing by the bassinet holding Greyson.

"you scared me," I said while walking over to the bed, and sitting down on the edge while towel drying my hair.

"He needs to be fed every morning and every night. if he doesn't eat in the morning he cries all day and if he doesn't eat at night then he doesn't sleep through the night" she told me.

"I know" I whispered.

"did you mean it? when you said you wanted another kid?" she asked me.

"yes, I do want another kid, but whenever your ready or whenever you get through this"

"if we get through this" she mumbled.

"we will," I said standing up.

"What makes you say that?" she asked smiling a bit.

"you don't want us to get through this?" I asked as I held back my tears.

"I was teasing you, Derek. of course, we will" she giggled.

"How?"

"Tomorrow we'll pretend nothing ever happened"

"you really think that'll work?"

"I don't know"

What do you want to happen next?
