Meredith was drying her hair. She had come home about half an hour ago and she was exhausted, so she had taken a quick shower. It took a while to dry her long hair and it normally gave her time to think. Actually she had been thinking all day. About their stupid fight. It really was stupid to fight over shower sex when you thought about it, but she was still angry at him and hurt.

The problem was she missed him. She had not seen him all day and she missed him. And she didn't know what to do. Apologize? Staying angry? But she knew she hated fighting with him.

As she thought a figure appeared in the doorway. When she noticed him she turned off the blow- dryer and looked at him. „What do you want?", she found herself snapping. She did not mean to but she could not help it.

„I'm here to apologize, Mer. I'm sorry for what I said, and I'm sorry you misunderstood me. I really didn't mean to make it sound like I was calling you a whore, Mer."

She sighed. „I know that is...not what you meant", she finally said.

„But, why...?", he began but she cut him off.

„I do trust you, Derek", she admitted quietly not looking at him. „It's just hard for me to trust anybody and you, you have to understand that", she said fearfully he might leave.

„I do. I do understand, Mer"

„Okay...", she said hesitantly. „And...I'm sorry I caused such a fight. I started it and I'm sorry", she finally looked into his eyes.

„It's ok, Mer. It was my fault, too", He said walking over to her and pulling her into an embrace.

„I'm glad you came", she mumbled into his chest.

„You didn't think I would?", he asked softly, while rubbing her back.

„I wasn't sure", she admitted.

„I will always come, Mer. Even when we fight. I'll always be here", he reassured her.

He pulled away slightly and gave her a kiss. She immediately felt the familiar warmth shoot through her body. She had needed that kiss.

She tried but could not stifle a yawn.

„Tired?", he asked and she nodded.

„Let's go to bed", he said as he tried to pull away but Meredith didn't let go.

„Mer", he whispered. „What's wrong?"

„Nothing. I just missed you today", she sighed.

„Aww, I missed you, too. But we can hug again once we're in bed, ok?", he said, knowing that they were both tired and needed it.

„Mhmm"

„Mer"

„Mhmm" She wouldn't let go, so he scooped her up in his arms.

She yelped a little in surprise, but didn't say anything as he carried her to the bed and layed her down.

He changed into his pyjamas and climbed into the bed after her. Pulling her close to him they both fell into a peaceful sleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meredith woke up in the middle of the night, breathing heavily. She sat up and looked around her, realizing it had just been a dream. She fell back onto the bed in relief.

„Meredith?", Derek said beside her. It starteld her so much that she almost jumped out of bed.

„Mer, it's just me", he said turning on the light to see a panicked looking Meredith covered in sweat.

„Derek? I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean to wake you up", she said.

„It's fine. I'm sorry I startled you. Are you alright?", he asked with concern as he looked her up ad down.

„I'm fine. Just...bad dream", she said, falling back onto the bed once more.

„What did you dream about?", he pressed.

„It's nothing. Nothing important anyway", she said, not wanting to talk about it.

He rubbed her arm softly. „Mer-"

„I gotta pee", Meredith interrupted him and jumped out of bed before he could say anything more.

His brow furrowed in concern.

She came back a few minutes later.

„Are you sure you're okay?", he asked when she layed down again.

„Positive", she said closing her eyes. Derek guessed she wouldn't open up to him and decided to give her some time.

„I love you", he said putting his arm around her.

„Love you, too", she mumbled going back to sleep.

So, what did Mer dream about? I don't even know yet! Haha pretty stupid I must say but well, what do you think?
