It's Christmas. Me and Der have spent the whole day together, of course. We exchanged SOME gifts, but the rest are at home so we'll have to wait.

Now we're just chilling in our hotel room before the family dinner. "Hey handsome" I lean down and kiss his cheek from behind. He's sat on the couch, watching tv. "Hi gorgeous" he whispers.

"Oh, you look so pretty baby" he smiles as I walk infront of him. I'm in a red dress with my hair curled, red lipstick and high heels.

Dereks pov:
"Are you gonna get ready soon?" She giggles, scanning my body. I'm just sat in my boxers. "Yeah baby, whatever you want" I pull her ontop of me and kiss her. She giggles more against my lips as I run my hands up her thighs slowly.

"Can we please please please go back to bed for a tiny bit first?" I pout. "No der" she giggles. "Why?" I frown. "I just got ready!" She grins. "I won't make a mess, I promise.. and I'll be gentle so you don't ruin your hair" I whisper.

A smirk slowly appears on her face and she gets lost in my eyes. As soon as I lean in to kiss her, she snaps out of it. "No der!" She giggles, pushing me away gently. I chuckle softly and smile brightly at her.

"Come here" she giggles, leaning in and kissing me deeply. "Stop it" she giggles. I smile brightly at her. "Okay, let's go then" I chuckle. "Okay baby" she smiles brightly.

"Just give me two seconds" I gently move her off of my lap and go to our bedroom to get ready quickly. I walk back out.

She stands up and turns around to look at me. Her whole face lights up. "You look so handsome!" She walks towards me and hugs me. "Do you like it?" I ask. I'm wearing my new Christmas jumper that she bought me and a pair of black jeans.

"You look so cute, I'm gonna cry" she giggles, putting her hands on my cheeks. I smile. She kisses me softly. "Put your shoes on and we can go" I say. She goes and grabs them and sits on the couch.

"Can you help me baby?" She asks. I walk over and kneel infront of her, helping her to do up the straps on her heels. "Thank you" she kisses me softly. "It's okay" I stand up and help her off of the couch. She holds my hand after we both put on our coats and we leave.

Meredith's pov:
It's three hours later and we're in the restaurant. We've all finished our meals, but as we were waiting for our deserts, der fell asleep with his head on my shoulder, so I'm just holding him so he doesn't fall as the rest of my family and I speak to eachother.

"How on earth did he just fall asleep like that?" My mom chuckles. "He's not slept very well lately.. Der doesn't get much sleep if he's in a new environment like a hotel room" I shrug. Not sure why but I just noticed that about him.

My eyes widen as he starts to fall against me. I try to steady him but his head falls down to my lap. I giggle. We're sat at the booth side of the table so he's just laid across it now. I stroke his hair gently and smile, looking down at him.

"Baby" he mumbles a little while later. I look down at him. "What's up?" I whisper. "Can we go back to our hotel?" He asks. "I don't want you to be asleep for the rest of the day" I pout. "Whyyyyy? I'm tired" he pushes his face into my belly. I smile.

"Because I want to be with you today.. it's Christmas" i say. He just closes his eyes. I sigh as he falls back asleep.

"Can you tell him to wake up?" I look at my mom. "He's not my kid, you are" she chuckles, shaking her head. "Der get up!" I shake him hard. He sits up slowly and rubs his eyes. "Meredith" he whines.

"Can you stay awake please?" I hug him. "Yeah" he sighs. "I want to have a good day with you" I snuggle into his side. "We will, I'm sorry" he strokes my back. I grin. He does end up staying awake and we spend the rest of Christmas Day together.
