"Morning Sunshine," Mark sat on the edge of Meredith's makeshift bed as she pulled a pillow over her head. "Come on," He laughed.

"Mark," She groaned and looked at her phone. "It's seven in the morning. Why the hell are you waking me up?"

"Cause you're coming to hang out with me and Holly downstairs before breakfast is done. Plus, I heard what Nancy said before and you don't need that right now."

"I'm fine, Mark." She shrugged. "I'm used to it by now," She sat up in bed and pushed her hair out of her face. "Great, I'm awake now."

"Good, now you can come downstairs," He laughed. "Come on."

"I'll be right down." She laughed as he nodded and headed back into the basement. Meredith walked into the bathroom to fix her hair before joining Mark on the couch.

"Holly, this is Meredith and vice versa," He said.

"Hey," Meredith smiled.

"What's up?" Holly laughed. "So, you're Derek's girlfriend?"

"Yeah," She nodded and pulled her feet under herself and bit her lip.

"Don't worry," Holly laughed. "I'm nothing like Nancy is, so don't worry." She smiled as Meredith let out the breath she was holding. "And by the way, she was way out of line."

"Yeah, like I said to Mark before, I'm used to her already so it's not that big of a deal." she shrugged.

"Well, you shouldn't have to get used to it," Holly told her.

"How many times have I said that?" Mark laughed as Meredith smacked him. "Hey, you're just jealous I'm right."

"Shut up," She laughed.

"Mark, Meredith, Holly!" Angela yelled from the top of the staircase. "Breakfast is ready, come on."

"Kay."

"So, Meredith, you're still in high school, right?" Derek's Aunt Linda asked her.

"Yeah," She nodded. "I'm a junior."

"And how did you meet him?"

"We had a class together my freshman year," She explained. "We've been friends since then."

"Just friends, right?" Nancy looked at her. Meredith didn't know whether to ignore her or answer her.

"Nancy," Angela narrowed her eyes at her daughter.

"Hey, just a question," She held her hands up in defense. "So, how long have you and Derek been dating?"

"A week," She answered.

"Then you obviously care about him a lot, don't you, Meredith?" Angela smiled in her direction and she nodded.

"Derek, honestly, I am never meeting anymore of your ridiculously huge family without you." She sat at the edge of his bed. She and Mark had gotten there before anyone else had.

"It couldn't have been that bad, baby," He smiled.

"Derek," She looked at him. "Does it look like I'm kidding?" She shook her head.

"What did Nancy do now?" He sighed as Meredith shook her head. "What? Just tell me."

"No," She shook her head. "I don't want to be a freaking tatle-tale." She mumbled. "I'll be fine."

"You're not tattling. I'm asking for the information," He smiled. "Please, Baby," His smile then turned into a pout.

Meredith gave him a quick overveiw of it, but sighed. "Please, do not talk to her about it."

"Why?"

"Trust me, Derek. It'll just start more crap," She explained. "Pinky promise."

"Pinky promise," He held up his pinky finger.
