FLASHBACK

"Ugh, why are you doing this to me exactly?" Meredith let out a long tortured sigh as three pairs of hands tweaked her attire.

"A little gratefulness would be in place," quipped Nancy standing up and taking few steps back to admire the overall effect. "I think it's perfect."

"It's as far from perfect as it could be," grumbled Meredith looking down at herself. She was wearing a dress, a strapless pink knee length dress that made her feel like some ridiculous prom queen. The dress was not that bad in itself. She just wasn't the dress type of girl.

"You're a total spoilsport, Mer," ranted Kath, folding her arms over her chest.

"You know I'm grateful for everything you've done for me-"

"It's not about gratitude," Carolyn stopped her categorically, pride in her eyes as she looked at Meredith. "It's my daughter's Sweet Sixteen. Wouldn't even think of not celebrating it properly."

"Thank you," Meredith smiled warmly. "But, and it's not your fault, I feel silly in this dress…"

"The dress is beautiful," stated Nancy with a tone that could as well say "shut the hell up".

"Yeah, but it's… a dress…"

"Derek will be shocked when he sees you," said Kath knowingly. "He won't know what hit him."

"Which might come in handy… later, you know," Nancy winked at Meredith who made round eyes at her in warning. One thing, she asked for Nancy's advice in one thing and she couldn't shut her mouth about it! Especially in front of their mother!

"Derek will be completely dumbfounded, I'm sure," smiled Carolyn. "You are beautiful, Meredith."

"Thank you, Mom," she sighed gratefully.

"I think we've done in here," nodded Carolynn at the girls. "Just a quick word with you, Sweetie. Nancy, Kath, we'll join you downstairs.

"Meri," she put an arm over her shoulders in a motherly gesture. "I… look forward to having grandchildren but I'd prefer them not to come so soon. And I know we've had a talk about it… but I must ask if you thought about protection?"

"Wha…?" Meredith looked up at her in horror, her blush easily comparable to the greatest of Derek's.

"I know you're not comfortable with the subject, I'm just asking about one thing."

"We, uhm, we did," she stammered. "How… how did you know?"

"A mother just knows things," shrugged Carolyn. "You'll see when you're one yourself but… as I said I'd prefer it not to be so soon."

"Oh," she breathed out. "Uh, why haven't you said anything to Derek?"

"Honey, I know my son," she let out a chuckle. "He would be completely flustered and inarticulate and… well, I don't want to ruin your evening."

"Oh, Mom…"

"Just… this changes nothing about no sneaking policy," warned her Carolyn.

"Okay," she grinned. Well, that policy was ineffective anyway. Carolyn herself probably was well aware of that but it was not like she could approve two teenagers sleeping together under her roof.

"Now, let's go and make Derek speechless."

"You don't think everyone will die of sugar shock?" Meredith arched her eyebrows skeptically. "Pink hair, pink dress, pink shoes…"

"Perfect harmony," she smiled at her reassuringly.

T H E G E E K A N D T H E R E B E L

Meredith slowly made her way down the stairs. It was so cliché… To make an entrance and leave everyone swooning… But it felt so right. It felt so right to celebrate her special birthday with her family. It felt so right when Derek's eyes scrutinized every inch of her from the tips of her first high-heeled shoes to the tip of her head which sported a silver hair band, giving a semblance of a tiara. She even got rid of her earrings for the occasion, replacing them with a pair of long delicate chains.

"Wow, Meri!" Lanie exclaimed enthusiastically.

"You're a princess, sis," backed her Amelia.

She smiled widely but waited for the reaction she anticipated the most… and it was not coming.

"Derek!" Nancy shoved him sharply on the back.

"Say something!"

"I…" he stammered, his eyes shining as he took her in. He offered her his hand as she descended to the foot of the stairs and kissed her fingers. "You… are… breathtaking…"

"Thanks," she smiled and leaned on to press a kiss to his lips. She didn't even have to stand on her tiptoes thanks to the shoes. Everything felt a little different today. Maybe it was because of the dressing up thing or maybe what they planned on doing after dinner.

"Let's move on to the living room shall we?" Carolyn ushered them in. "Time for the food and the presents."

T H E G E E K A N D T H E R E B E L

It was the most beautiful day of her life. Even the fact that her own mother forgot about her sixteenth birthday couldn't change it. Her new mother didn't forget it, she never would, just as her new family.

And Derek was… he was indescribable. She suspected he had to be everything a woman could want from her man. She had no doubts whatsoever about the decision they made to progress their relationship further physically. She wanted to do it with him. She wanted to belong with him in every sense. Forever.

At one point during the evening, she got so lost in thought about their later activities that Nancy had to elbow her discreetly to come back to earth. But she couldn't help being in total and utter amazement of Derek. He sang a song for her playing his guitar and he got her the most tasteful and discreet necklace with a small heart. She wasn't a jewelry type of girl. She thought she could never take that necklace off her neck though. He probably saved up for it from his share of income they received for the jobs they did together. Meredith didn't have to work, Ellis would provide her for anything. But she figured she could start on being financially independent from her as soon as possible. Meredith suspected her mother wouldn't be so obliging if she learnt the true nature of her relationship with Derek and that was the most important thing in her life, much more important that the prospective career in medicine.

The dessert was nearly over and although Meredith enjoyed every second of the time she spent with the Shepherds her eyes darted to Derek more often than not. Just as his were running to her. She gave him the tiniest of nods and he stood up from the table, "So… I'm going to take Mer for a ride. We'll be going to the city to celebrate on our own."

"Right, little bro," Nancy smirked knowingly.

"Just be careful," stressed Carolyn as she always did when they used the bike but today Meredith knew there was also a different meaning to her words.

"Don't worry, Ma," she smiled at her. "You know I always keep him in line."

She chuckled at them and watched them hurry to the bike, giddy smiles on their faces. Ah, young love. She would prefer them to wait of course but youth was impatient and hot-headed by nature. Meredith and Derek were already more cautious and considerate than an average couple. And she trusted them, she trusted her children.

T H E G E E K A N D T H E R E B E L

They smiled at each other nervously holding hands, both equally flushed. They were in their secret spot on the cliff outside Seattle. The cliff had already seen a number of indecencies on their part but what it was about to witness clearly surpassed them all. A simple blanket was spread in the tall grass inches from where they were standing with troubled breathing and wide eyes.

"You're sure?" Derek asked her gently.

She smiled. Always the gentleman. "I am. Are you?"

He nodded and took a step forward, closing on the distance between their bodies but not yet touching.

"I'm… nervous," he confessed honestly.

"Me too," she whispered.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't ever hurt me," she assured him with fire in her eyes and lifted her head expectantly.

His eyes became hooded as he lowered his lips onto hers. They brushed softly, a bit shyly. Meredith let go of his hands and passed her fingers through his hair while his palms gently traced her back to grip her hips a little tighter. Her tongue plundered his mouth and dueled with his.

"You really are breathtaking," he muttered when they paused the kiss to catch a breath.

"You're not so bad yourself," she uttered tilting her head back and allowing Derek to trail little kisses on to her neck as his hand moved past the wide belt of her dress onto her thigh, diving into rich folds of the skirt. Her breath hitched and a shiver ran down her spine as she held onto Derek's arms. They never went all the way in the exploration of their bodies. There was an unspoken agreement not to hurry. If they pleased each other, there was usually some layer of clothing between them. Not today, there wouldn't be.

One of her arms went around his back, while her other hand stopped on his chest, over his heart, clawing into his shirt. With trembling fingers she started to fumble with the buttons. She loved his chest. Derek actually worked up some muscle, not too much, not at all like the guys from the team, but he was no longer skinny. And there was a modest trail of dark hair leading from his sternum and disappearing under his belt.

She gasped feeling Derek's light evening stubble rub against her clavicle as he feathered her very exposed cleavage with kisses. With another gasp, she managed to get rid of his shirt pushing it back over his arms and letting it fell to the grass. Her outstretched palms flattened against his chest and when they pressed into each other again, she could feel his swollen length against her hip.

The feel of her hands and the soft material of her dress on his bare chest made the blood course faster through his veins. His fingers blundered behind her in search for the zipper. He wanted her and he wasn't afraid to admit it. She was beautiful and she was there for him. He craved to see her body, to touch her, to… With a breathless smile she reached behind her to unfasten a little hook hidden at the top of her dress and steered his fingers onto the zipper allowing him to undress her.

Keeping their eyes locked, he inhaled deeply as he slowly pulled the fastener down.

"Derek…" she breathed out feeling his fingertips grazing the skin along her spine, down, down… She hooked her arms around his waist to lead him backwards onto the blanket. Biting on her lower lip, she let the dress fall down pooling at her feet leaving her in a delicate black strapless bra and matching panties. She stepped out of the dress and kneeled on the blanket looking up at him. She reached to take off her heels, her inexpert feet were experiencing a bit of discomfort.

"May I?" he breathed out following her down and taking her feet in his hands. He tried hard to get his breathing under control, it was minimally helping to get his erection under control. He wanted to please her, give her everything she deserved. In order to do that, he needed to take things slowly. Even if it was literally painful for him. Meredith was more important.

His touch as gentle as a caress, he slid her shoes of her feet, slowly moving upwards, over her ankles, calves and thighs. When he got to her hips, she lay down on her back pulling him with her. With a tiniest of hesitations he unbuckled and gingerly took off his slacks, letting out a sigh of relief. He rested beside her resuming their kiss and their embrace.

She wasn't just breathtaking. She was taken out of a dream, dazzling, bewitching. His length never throbbed that insistently for release as in the moment she shed her dress. He saw her in swimsuit a couple of times, and sure it always ended up with him trying desperately to cover the bulge in his trunks from innocent people that happened to be at the pool in the same time, but… the black lingerie she had on now was making him go crazy.

His fingers stopped on the thin, partially transparent material of her bra.

"Yes," she gasped as though anticipating his question. "It's… on the front…"

His fingers shaking, he reached to unclasp it, the back of his hands brushing against her breasts.

"You can do it," she teased him with a grin as he fumbled with the hook.

"Oh, I can," he declared with satisfaction as the hook let go and her glorious mounds spilled before his very eyes.

"Mer…" he fought to keep his breathing steady. It was sensory overload. Her two perfect breasts heaved up and down so close to his face, almost hypnotizing him.

"Der…" his name came out as a plea. He wasn't the only one aroused. Her body screamed to be touched, she could feel the wetness soaking though her underwear in preparation for her lover's sweet invasion. Her core clenched impatiently.

He finally brought his hand to her soft breast, grazing it, caressing it. He covered it whole, pushing it slightly.

"Yes…" a rugged exclamation fell from her lips and it coaxed him to squeeze the delicious weight encased with his hand. His fingers rubbed her nipple while he watched with fascination as it swell and darkened. It was the most stimulating sight he'd ever seen. Taken by a sudden boldness, he took the neglected twin into his mouth.

"Oh, God!" She arched her torso into him involuntarily. Her body was showing him she wanted more. Her core was in flames, her panties becoming more and more uncomfortable on her. She took her hands that were wandering blindly over his back and sides and started to wriggle out of her underwear. He momentarily tore away from her breasts as he realized what she was doing and helped her to remove the offending garment from her legs.

He completely froze in his movements admiring the view before him. She was utterly naked and so so beautiful, it was hurting him not to touch her. Her closed legs were fidgeting slightly as though unsure if they should try to hide her intimate place covered by a trimmed patch of hair away from his scorching gaze. Finally, she relaxed them down but kept them pressed together. She wanted it with Derek, she desired him, but she also couldn't help being a bit afraid of it all.

"I want to see you too," she whispered looking him in the eye.

"Okay," he nodded and shed his boxers in a confident move. She trusted him with her body and soul. He trusted her equally.

A tremor of desire shook her body at the sight of his erected length and two swollen testicles. Drops of precum already glistened on the tip. He lay down back and their regards locked. It was the moment. She nodded her head, swallowing. So did he.

She gingerly spread her legs to accommodate him between them.

"Oh… wow…" he murmured as her smooth inner thighs embraced him and the engorged head bumped against her. He lowered himself to rest his weight on his forearms so as not to crush her. Beads of sweat built up over his brow. He was close to achieving mastery at self-control this afternoon. He hoped he'd be ready to sustain it longer…

"I love you," he whispered and locked their fingers together.

"I love you," she said back her hand plunging into his thick hair.

The saw nothing but each other's eyes as their bodes met again and Derek started to slide inside her. They decided not to use condoms. It cost Meredith a visit to the doctor to get the prescription for the pill. Actually, she had to make a special trip to Mercy West to avoid meeting her mother. If Ellis got the wind that her only daughter was using birth control, Armageddon would be nothing in comparison.

Meredith's mouth popped open at the completely new experience of being filled this way. Almost immediately, she felt a slight pressure on what she figured must have been her hymen. He obviously felt it too as he halted, concern on his face beside the incredible tension.

"You're okay?" he managed to grit out.

"I am," she nodded, her heart beating like mad. "Just do it, love. Rip off the band aid."

He almost looked grateful. He didn't think he could just stay immobile doing nothing in the current position. The pressure in his body was only increasing by the second and his legs began to tremble.

He thrust into her, her barrier breaking underneath him. She arched up with a sharp gasp but it was as far from pleasure as it could be. Her eyes squeezed shut as she almost saw stars from the overpowering pain. Her legs tightened around him to hold him in place. She kept breathing deeply but the pain was gone almost as soon as it appeared, leaving a lingering soreness.

"Meri," he swallowed and whispered tenderly, brushing a single tear the escaped down her temple. "I'm sorry…"

"It's okay," she smiled at him reassuringly opening her eyes to calm him down. "It's just how it's supposed to be. I love you." And somehow she loved him even more now as he lay on her, in her. He completed her.

"Are you sure? I can just-"

"Start, start moving okay?"

"Are-"

"Please, Der? It's my birthday, you know?"

"Okay," he muttered breathlessly. "Okay…"

He slowly pulled out of her and slipped back. The splitting pain didn't return but she was still a bit sore. Another thrust, and another. She finally stated to feel something else past the slight discomfort. The pleasure was starting to rise very timidly in her belly.

"Oh, God, Mer," he gasped and she knew he was in the point of no return. His length started to twitch inside her. His release was hot on her walls. She caressed his scalp with a smile as he experienced the pleasure of his first orgasm inside her. She wasn't disappointed. She didn't even expect Derek to hold out long enough to make her come. She was just happy to experience it with him. She couldn't even think about being like this with someone else. He was it for her. The love of her life, even though she just turned sixteen. He was so beautiful to watch too. His orgasm was much more intense than ever before.

When he was done, he slid down onto the blanket trying not to squash her, still staying intimately joined with her. He felt utterly spent and would be utterly satisfied if he wasn't aware he left her hanging.

"Mer, I'm sorry," he breathed out, opening his cloudy eyes.

"Really," she chuckled. "If I hear you saying sorry once again today I swear I'm going to hit you!"

"But you didn't…" he sighed slipping out of her.

"It's okay," she assured him and couldn't help feeling suddenly empty. "I enjoyed it. We'll just have to… work on it."

"I want to make you feel good," he whispered and his hand moved gently from her hip between her legs and sank between her folds.

She flinched a little. "I… it's sore," she sighed. "This is going to have to wait for the next time."

"I'm sorr- " he didn't even finished when her fist collided with his chest.

"Ouch!" he whined rubbing the spot. Meredith could have a really heavy hand sometimes.

"I told you I'd hit you," she shrugged.

"I just… I want you to feel what I did," he said fiercely.

"I know and I'm not gonna take it easy on you until you do," she smirked at him finally bringing a smile onto his lips. He leaned to kiss her. Not much changed in the way they kissed, it was as tender and loving as ever. But there was a new sense of peaceful intimacy between them.

She pulled away from him after a while and whispered apologetically, "I… can we… It's starting to feel a bit weird you know," she pointed at her lap.

"Oh," he nodded understandingly. "Sor- I mean, I'll help you out."

She sat up wincing just a bit and feeling his semen drip out of her.

"Here," he handed her tissues and helped her to clean up, pulling a protective arm around her bare back. Somehow he felt a whole new level of responsibility. He wanted to be the one protecting her, caring for her, providing everything she might need.

She relaxed into his chest gratefully. "The blanket is ruined," she remarked at the blatant traces of his cum and her own blood. "We might throw it out somewhere on the way back… I would die if Mom caught the sight of that..." Carolyn was incredibly tolerant but showing off with the fact that they were sexually active would be unwise.

"We're not going to throw it out," Derek shook his head. "Too many fond memories."

"Cheesy," she teased him nuzzling her nose against his playfully.

They way she turned her midriff to face him, her breasts bouncing, made the air hitch in his lungs while his cock stirred to life against her butt.

"Impressive," she grinned at him. "But not for today. Sorry."

"Now you're saying sorry?" he chuckled. "Well, I'm not gonna hit you but I can bite!" he growled and attacked her graceful neck with his teeth. She giggled madly squirming against him and they both fell on their back, resting half on the blanket, half on the grass.

Derek encircled her strongly in his arms and they lay in peaceful silence staring at the sky that was beginning to darken. A single star was twinkling at their blissful faces.
