Derek sank into bed, trying to distract himself from his confusion.
Ever since Vincent had told him the news, he had been worried about Regina.
Derek knew Regina must have been affected by the news on a professional and mental level, but he chose not to ask. For the time being, he did not want to bother her and wanted to give her some alone time to handle it.
Derek put his hand under his head and glanced up at the ceiling. He was debating whether or not to continue ignoring Vincent's request until Cassandra alerted him to it. It would be a problem if he acted on his own.
Closing his eyes shut, Derek tried to relax when a knock on the door snapped him out.
"Are you sleeping?" Emily questioned as she walked in and saw Derek get up right away.
"No! Do you want something, Mom?" Derek asked, making space for Emily as she sat next to him.
