He was slowly waking up and felt as though he was being taken advantage of. Then he felt nibbling on his neck. Yeah someone was definitely taking advantage of him and that person had been doing so for the past three weeks. They weren't even back from LA when Meredith decided she wanted Derek to join the mile high club. She actually jumped him quite a bit. He was sleeping back at the house again, but none of her friends knew about the baby. Meredith told him she wanted to wait until she was at sixteen weeks to say anything to her friends. Derek didn't think she could hide it that much longer because Addison had been right she was gaining baby weight fast. Izzie, George, and Alex were just starting to get suspicious. Every time the morning sickness snuck up on her Derek or Mia made sure they were with her and if questioned about it when leaving the bathroom they would blame it on tequila. Cristina on the other hand was the leader of the suspicion coalition. She kept giving them strange looks and insisted Meredith go to Joe's with her.
"Hmmm… You're taking advantage of a sleeping man." He breathed opening his sleepy blue eyes. He gasped a little when he saw the sight before him. Meredith sat straddling him. She had on a white tank top that now exposed her small baby bump and a pair of his boxers on.
"I am… pregnancy hormones equal porny thoughts." She purred in his ear.
"I love porny thoughts." He groaned.
"I thought you would." she smirked as she snuck her hand under the waistband of his boxers.
"Mer… what… what time is it?" he breathed while he tried to focus.
"Five-thirty" she said stroking him.
"We… running late." he stuttered.
"So" she breathed.
Something was up with her. Yes part of the jumping him anytime she pleased was part of the pregnancy hormones, but there was something up. She was using sex as a way to avoid and he knew it. Derek grabbed her sneaky hands that were under his boxers and gently flipped her so she was now pinned under him. Meredith burst into a fit of giggles. He looked at her amazed at just how much he loved her, but as her giggles slowed he saw something in her eyes.
"What are you thinking about at the moment?" he whispered nuzzling her neck inhaling her lavender scent.
"Porny thoughts." She giggled breathlessly.
"Mer, that's not what I meant." He let out a frustrated sigh.
"Derek, I want to play." She pouted staring into his crystal blue eyes.
"We have work and we'll be late." He tried to reason.
"You don't want sex?" she asked disbelievingly.
"I want sex, but we have work… I think you're avoiding something." He mumbled.
"Avoiding!" she exclaimed while pushing him off of her. "I'll show you avoiding Derek!" she screamed and ran into the bathroom slamming the door.
"Mer…" Derek said gently knocking on the door. He heard the shower running for fifteen minutes then it stopped. He slowly backed away from the door.
Meredith stormed into the bedroom with her towel wrapped around her. Derek knew she had been crying. She didn't care if he was watching her she was trying to make a quick exit. She grabbed her bra to put it on and it barely fit, but Meredith tried to ignore that. She threw on a v-neck henley and then her jeans. Trying to button them was just too hard, there was no way she could wear any of this. Derek's heart went out to her when he saw her look in the mirror on the verge of tears.
"Nothing fits." She clasped onto the bed beginning to sob.
"Oh Mer, we'll figure something out." He soothed.
"I have nothing that will fit… I can't wear anything of yours either… What am I suppose to do? Go to work naked… I'm pretty sure they would fire me for that… Derek." She rambled through her tears.
"Shhh, As much as I would love to see you at work naked I agree we can't have that. I have an idea." He smiled softly at her.
"You…You do?" she sniffled.
"I do. Wait here I'll be right back."
Derek ran down to the den or also known as Mia's temporary room. Mia and Izzie were the only girls in the house that could help, but he couldn't go to Izzie because Meredith would only get angrier with him. He lightly knocked on the door. "Mia."
"Alex go away I'm not going to sleep with you." Mia mumbled loudly.
"Mia, its Uncle Derek." He said annoyed that Karev was trying to sleep with his niece.
"Huh?" he heard her say just before the door opened. "Uncle Derek?" she asked squinting at him. Her hair was in total disarray. Derek was trying not to chuckle at her appearance. "It's like six in the morning." She yawned glaring at the amusement on his face.
"Alex?" he frowned.
"Nothing happened he's just persistent." she shrugged. "Now why are you disturbing my beauty sleep?" Mia said throwing her hands on her hips.
"Mer is having a clothing crisis." He sighed.
"Nothing fits." She stated obviously.
"How did you know?" he looked at her curiously.
"It was only a matter of time." She shrugged.
"We need your help."
"She can probably where my clothes I'm bigger then her so they might fit."
"Um… she needs… a… um." Derek started awkwardly.
"She needs a bra too." Mia giggle at him being uncomfortable.
"Yeah…Yes." He cleared his throat.
"It's ok Uncle Der, I have boobs, she has boobs it's all good." Mia giggled. "Let me grab a few things and I'll be up."
"Thank you." He whispered sheepishly.
"No problem she's my family."
"She is." He grinned.
Derek ran back up to his room only to find clothes scattered everywhere and a huge lump in the bed. He could hear her crying. Mia came waltzing past him and sat next to the lump on the bed.
"Go away." Meredith mumbled.
"Mer…" Mia said gently.
"Mia?"
"Yeah… what are you doing under there?" Mia said trying to lift the blanket.
"I'm naked… Nothing fits." She sniffled.
"Well lucky for you I have clothes!" Mia stated in a singsong voice.
"You do?" she asked sticking her head out from under the blanket.
"Yup. I'll be out in the hall put them on." Mia said while standing up and leaving the room. Derek silently followed her.
A few minutes later Meredith stuck her head out the door. "Mia… can you.,. um come in here?"
"Sure."
Mia stepped in the room expecting the worst, but everything actually fit except for the jeans that were dragging.
"Mer it fits." She smiled.
"Yes."
"Here I brought scissors." Mia said nodding towards the jeans.
"Mi, don't destroy your jeans." She sighed.
"Don't worry and now they're yours."
Meredith sat down and let Mia tailor the jeans when she was finished the outfit actually looked perfect.
"I can't believe I'm wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt to work." she giggled.
"Well it works for you and it's vintage which makes it amazing."
"It covers the bump." She sighed rubbing a hand over her stomach.
"Then it's doing its job." Mia nodded.
"Thanks Mi." Meredith murmured.
"No prob… I do anything for my aunt and cousin." She said nonchalantly.
"Aunt?" she breathed.
"Yeah you're my Aunt Mer." she said giving her a McDreamy smile.
"Aunt Mer." Meredith nodded smiling.
"Well I'm going back to bed it's way too early… lunch?"
"Lunch." Meredith said as she watched Mia leave the room.
"All better?" Derek asked leaning in the doorway.
"All better." She nodded "I'm sorry Der." Meredith walked over and leaned against him.
"For?"
"For being mean to you for no reason it wasn't very nice of me." She whispered into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry too." He said kissing her head.
"For?" She asked looking up curiously at him.
"For being an ass." He sighed.
"You weren't an ass." She giggled.
"Well then that as a future apology." He chuckled.
"Ok…" she drifted off.
The clothing crisis for the day was solved which left Derek relieved, but something was bothering her. He had to find out what and fix it.
