A/N: Amelia is 10 and Addison and Derek are 21
"Amy! Come here!" Derek called, spotting his little sister in the backyard.
When she arrived running, he caressed her head with a smile. "Hi pumpkin."
"Hi Der. Who's that girl?"
He squeezed the redhead's hand, giving her a smile of reassurance.
"She is my girlfriend, Addie. We came here because I wanted you all to meet her. And Addison, Amy's my little sister."
"Hi Amy. You can call me Addie if you want." she smiled at the kid.
"Hello. My name's Amelia Roselynn Francesca Shepherd. You can call me... mmm... Amelia."
Amelia ran away to play again.
"I'm sorry. I guess I'm the only one she allows to call her Amy." he apologized.
"Don't worry, it's okay." she laughed. "I like your sister. She looks like you."
The lunch went very smoothly. Addison answered Mrs. Shepherd's questions cheerfully, telling stories about her childhood and about how she and Derek met. As soon as Amelia heard that Addison owned a horse at her parents' house she pushed Nancy out of her sit and suited herself next to her brother's redhead girlfriend.
"Come on!" she told her after lunch. "I want to show you my room!"
"Okay, but... I wanted to help your mom clean the dishes first."
"You'd better go." Derek informed amused. "When Hurricane Amelia want something, she has to get that something."
"Stop it Derek! Addie, follow me!" she ordered.
She pulled Addison in her small bedroom. "Look outside of the window. Once I climbed on that tree. Everybody was freakin' out." she laughed.
"I bet bet they were." Addison raised her eyebrows. "So, is this where you hide when you want some space? It must be difficult to be alone with three sisters and a brother. Especially if the brother is Derek." she smirked, and Amelia giggled.
"What's your brother like?"
"He's... well, he's over-protective."
"Like Derek."
"Yeah... but he's sweet. Sometimes he's also very annoying but I wouldn't change him for anyone else."
"Me too. I don't like my sisters very much but I love Derek. He's a good big brother."
Addison nodded. "I believe that."
"Oh, and by the way... you can call me Amy, after all."
