Love like crazy
Meredith Grey has never been good with crowds, specially when it comes to Derek's family. When Derek's mom becomes ill the shepherd family heads out for a long time needed family time. Or it is?
I don't own anything! Title is a reference to "love like crazy." By Lee Brice.
Chapter 1
"Tell me again why we agreed to this?" Meredith Grey turned back at her husband. He sighed. They had been over this more than enough times.
"Because my mother and sisters asked us to." Derek said calmly. "It's just a few days Meredith.
"A few days with the Shepherd women is a lot more of what I can handle." She frowned.
"Light up mom!" Zola smirked excitedly as she dragged her bag over to the front door where Derek had begun to pile up the luggage. "It's New York!" Right, said the 13 year old girl who was obsessed with fashion. No doctor bone in this one.
"You're only happy because Kate promised you an arranged tour.."
"She did not! She said we could all go." Zola bantered on.
"She bribed our child.." Derek smiled. "She did!"
"So.. That's one less kid for us worry about breaking things..."
"Boys! What's the hold up?!" Lets go!"
"Casey lost his shoe again." Bailey said putting on a bag over his shoulder.
"Uncle Owen will be here any minute!" Meredith frustration over the overload of boys at her home got to her every time they were supposed to make it out the door in the mornings. "Help your dad with the bags" Bailey did as he was told and got a hold of the bags before they heard a horn. Wes, bolted out towards the door as soon as he heard the door. They really didn't need a dog.
"Hey." Owen said noticing the despair in Derek's face.
"Don't ask.." Derek smiled as Owen shrugged. "Come on Wes, we've got to go..."
"My toys! Daddy are we taking my toys?" The 3 year old asked, clearly concerned.
"Yes." Derek said as he picked up the little boy. "Lets go."
By the time Meredith made it out with Casey, the boys and Zola had loaded Owen's truck.
"Mamma, I don't want the blue sneakers, I want the black ones!"
"You've already changed them twice Case, it's this or nothing!"
"Then noting!" The little boy began to pull back towards the house. Derek and Owen shared a glance, Derek climbed off the truck to get Casey while his wife locked the house.
Yes, they were going to be a very long few days.
"Mom?" Bailey asked Meredith as they sat on the plane. His messy black hair getting messier by the minute. "Do I really have to bunk with my cousins, they are so.."
"Yes you have to, we've talked about this, everyone in this family is making sacrifices so we get to survive.." Yes well, out of all of Derek's sisters, Meredith had only bonded with Amelia after she had moved to Seattle for good, she was already in New York much to her dismay.
"You are such a drama queen Bailey." Zola said annoyed. "I have to share with all the girls and you don't see me complaining."
"You're now." The boy sank on his seat.
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!" It all went down from there as the kids began to argue until the flight attendant asked for their composure. Derek and Meredith sighed. Both the younger boys had fallen asleep and it all became quiet once more.
"Tell me again why we are doing this?"
Okay I hope this doesn't suck I haven't written Grey's FF in a while so I don't even know how this will turn out but I'm really excited!
To clarify:
Zola is 13.
Bailey is almost 10
Casey is 5
Wes is 3
