Hello again everyone

Hello again everyone! "Day by Day" was such a great success I knew I had to write a squeal! It wouldn't have been appropriate just to end it like that. So here's "Forever and For More". This takes place a year after Christopher was born. So Ava is five, Paige and Emma three and little Christopher one.

It was quiet in the house too quiet. For a house filled with four kids under the age of six, it just seemed almost eerie. Meredith thoughts suddenly went out the window when she heard Ava scream loudly at her sisters.

"Stop!" Meredith heard Ava say and then crying.

Meredith quickly jogged up the stairs and into Ava's room where she saw Emma on the floor crying.

"Ava Marie what's going on?" said Meredith as she picked up a crying Emma and sat on the bed.

"She wasn't playing the right way with the doll." complained Ava. "So I pulled it away from her." finished Ava looking at the ground, suddenly realizing what she did was wrong.

"And who was the one that asked her to play?" asked Meredith sternly.

"Me." said Ava quietly.

"Right, now apologize and hug your sister please." said Meredith as Emma wriggled out of her arms.

"I'm sorry Em." said Ava as she hugged her sister.

"Its okay." said Emma. "Mommy can Paige and Chris and I play play-do?" asked Emma.

"Well honey it's nearing dinner time. Why don't we color instead? Daddy said tonight after he gets home from work, we could walk up to the park and then maybe go for ice-cream." said Meredith with a smile.

"Ice cream!" said Paige excitedly as she heard this and ran into the room. Not far behind her was Christopher attempting to keep up to her speed. Recently learning to walk, the almost year old baby, was having trouble keeping his balance. He slipped and fell down, and immediately started to cry.

"Oh. Its okay bud." said Meredith as she reached for him and grabbed him and pulled him onto her lap.

"Mommy?" said Ava excitedly

"Yes babe?" answered Meredith

"I'm starting Kindergarten next month." said Ava excitedly.

"Really?" said Meredith pretending she didn't know. "Such a big girl." said Meredith as she ruffled Ava's brown curls.

All her kids' hair beside Paige's, who had inherited Meredith's straight hair, had curly hair and blue eyes. Ava and Emma were girl versions of Derek, with curly brown hair and big blue eyes. Paige had definitely inherited Meredith's stubborn personality and hair but had the same blue eyes as her siblings. Chris was the spitting of Derek. He looked like a younger baby version of him. He already had all women all over him, for how adorable he was. He easily flirted back by smiling a toothy grin. Derek of course loved his girls to death, and they like wise were "Daddy's Girls", but Derek and Chris shared a special father/son bond that not one of his girls could hold. Chris could speak very little, but one word he said loud and clear was "Daddy". Meredith smiled at her children before starting to usher them downstairs.

"Alright dinner is in the oven and almost ready. Daddy will be home soon. Everyone sit in their chairs." said Meredith as she buckled Chris into his high chair. Meredith quickly pulled the pizza out of the oven and then went to toss the salad. Just as she sat dinner on the table, Derek walked in the door.

"Any one home?" joked Derek hearing all the noise.

"Daddy" screamed Ava, Paige and Emma in union as they all jumped out of their seats to hug them.

"Hey." said Derek kneeling down to hug each of them.

"Daddy we're having dinner." said Emma innocently.

"I can see that Em. Thank you for telling me." said Derek as he kissed her forehead.

"Daddy" called Chris as he reached out to Derek from his high chair.

"Hey buddy." said Derek as he came and sat down in the chair next to his high chair and ruffled his curls.

"Alright Ava you eat pizza with all things still on it.'' said Meredith as she cut a piece for her and put it on her plate. " Emma and Paige you both don't like cheese on your pizza." said Meredith as he pulled the cheese off and left it on the side of their plate and handed it to them. "And Chris you eat the pizza like it is, just cut into tiny pieces." said Meredith as she pulled his pizza into tiny bite size pizza bites. She then put one slice for her and Derek on each of their plates and finally sat down. They finished about half an hour later and sent the kids into the living room to play, while they cleaned up.

"Derek." said Meredith as she loaded dishes into the dish washer. "We need a vacation." said Meredith as she sighed and sat on the counter.

"Alright maybe we can do Disney again or…" said Derek before Meredith interrupted.

"No, not with the kids, just you and I." said Meredith as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Alone." Meredith whispered seductively into his ear.

"I can do alone." laughed Derek as Paige came running into the kitchen complaining how Emma stole her toy. Meredith sighed and picked up Paige and tickled her,

"Is this little girl ready to go to the park?" asked Meredith.

"Yes!" said Paige excitedly.

"Alright let Daddy change Chris into his pajamas and then we'll go." said Meredith as she went in search for everyone's shoes.

Oh the joys of Motherhood.

After getting ice- cream, Derek and Meredith decided going to park would give them time to run around and blow energy off. Meredith was pushing Ava on the swing, and Derek was pushing Chris, while Paige and Emma were on the slides when they heard a scream come from the slide. They both grabbed the kid's in the swings and ran over to find Emma on the ground holding her arm and crying.

"Mommy Emma slipped and fell getting off the slide." said Paige as she started to tear up, clearly upset her sister was hurt.

"It's alright. Daddy's going to help." said Meredith as she pulled Paige into her arms.

Derek immediately crouched down beside her and inspected her arm. He then pulled a whimpering Emma into his arms and stood up with her.

"Well we're going to have to make a trip to Seattle Grace. We have a broken arm." said Derek.

Great just great, thought Meredith, perfect way to end the night, a broken bone. And the Parents of the Year award go to… not us.

Well I thought that was a long enough starter chapter. Hope everyone enjoyed. Reviews are always well appreciated!
