"Rise and shine sweetie its time to get up!" Emma was awoken by her mother's voice she looked up at her mom and dad wondering why she was waking up so early. Then she remembered it was her first day at kindergarten. She was excited but nervous at the same time.

"Morning mommy and daddy." said Emma in her cute adorable voice giving each of them a kiss on the cheek

"Are you excited sweetheart?" ask Derek as Meredith shuffled through her closet looking for Emma's pretty blue top it was cold this morning so Meredith also grabbed Em's Pink jacket and her scarf

"Yes daddy I told you yesterday that I was" she answered her dad with a tone that was used as if to say Derek was a bit dumb

Derek and Meredith laughed. Meredith knew that her daughter had definitely not developed that cheeky humour from her it was most likely her dad that gave it to her. After all Derek was kind of cheeky. Meredith just hopes she kept it to the point where she still listens to her parents as a teen.

"Come sweetie lets get dressed so that you can go downstairs and eat pancakes"

"Pancakes? YAY!!!!!!!!" she squealed so loudly that both Meredith and Derek had to block their ears for a few second

"Inside voice Em but yes daddy made them. Come let us get you dressed" said Meredith

10 minute later they were all sitting at the table eating their breakfast and talking about the day while Meredith and Derek were talking about the day

"Oh I've invite Mark and Lexie over for supper I hope that's okay" said

Derek

"That's fine i haven't seen her for a while outside of work I mean" said Meredith, she remembered how she used to hate lexie but since learning more about her and realizing it wasn't Lexie fault that Thatcher hadn't stayed in contact with her after all Lexie hadn't even know about Meredith 5 years ago and it was only because of her moms death that Lexie was told about Meredith.

"Come on hurry up eating mommy so that we can go." Emma's voice came drifting through Meredith thoughts

"Relax sweetheart we've still got half an hour it takes 5 minutes to get to the school" but Meredith ate quickly anyway because she knew her daughter wouldn't stop nagging until they went

AN: I know there is still no action but I'm trying to set the scene

So review so I know what to correct when I write the next chapter and suggestions are most welcome
