Derek awoke to an empty bed and it didn't take him long to realize it had
been empty for awhile. He had a feeling he knew where Julia was, so he
slipped out and groggily headed to the baby's room, where he found them both
asleep. He sat down on the edge of the window seat and looked down at the
pair, before kissing Julia on the forehead.
