AN: Okay some questions about who is with who and has kids with who will be answered here. So no worries about that. Also I'd like to add that if you're a MerDer writer, then most likely you are on my favorite list. But anyways, on with the chapter.
"Cool a fishing boat!" Jessica said as Derek lifted her off her shoulders. She darted over to it and almost tipped it over when she almost fell in. "You know what Charlie and I wanted to do? We always wanted to dress up in big frilly dresses and run off the end of a dock." Jessica glanced at him to see if he would laugh, but he nodded in what seemed like understanding.
"So do you want to fill me in on what all the adults are doing these days?" Derek said wondering whose kids were whose.
"Well, Charlie, Matt, Morgan, and Sam are all Christina and Burke's kids. You know Charlie. Matt and Morgan are the seven year old twins. Morgan's really sweet, she can break a heart just by crying. Matt is really laid back like his dad, but he has Christina's sarcasm. Sam is only two, but I think she already wants to be a surgeon too." Jessica said pausing so Derek could take in all the information. "Izzie and Alex are married, they both live in my mom's house. They have Ryan and Lexi. Ryan is two, he is really stubborn and is the one who looks like Uncle Alex. Lexi is the one who looks just like Aunt Izzie, she's sweet and smart, and she loves people." Jessica paused again and got out and patted the spot next to her on the edge of the dock, her feet dangling off. Derek joined her. "George was married to Natalie, but she died last year from cancer. He has a son named Steven, he's not even a year old." Jessica said with sorrow. "The chief you knew retired years ago, he still lives here and Adele and him are my grandparents. Burke is chief now, but he still manages to see his kids. Bailey's baby is thirteen, and Will is really…nice. Bailey also has Veronica, whose ten." Jessica finished.
"So tell me about Will." Derek said. Jessica's cheeks turned pink and her mind quickly thought of something to say.
"Um he's nice. He's in my class, he's not that much older. He looks very um, well groomed." she stuttered as Derek tried to keep from laughing. "He really cares about his friends and is really loyal." Jessica finished in looking up, cheeks no longer pink.
"So this Will guy? When am I going to meet him?" Derek asked with a cocky grin.
"I guess he'll be at Sam's birthday party, it's in a week." She replied. "Burke and Christina are taking us to Chuckie Cheese, the older kids sit around and talk and stuff." she explained.
"So all those people living in Meredith's house?" He asked thinking about how the house was fairly small.
"Usually the adults never came in together and Ryan, Lexi, and Steven spend most of their day in daycare. So it was mostly just me and…" She swallowed hard and suddenly reached towards her lower stomach bruise. Jessica wrapped her arms around Derek who wrapped her into a hug.
'It's okay…he's gone now…nobody will ever hurt you again." Derek said staying strong for her.
"Just promise you won't leave, you'll protect me and mom." She said. But before Derek could promised she bounced up and nearly fell backwards into the water. "Mom! We have to go get her, Finn said." Jessica said as she began sobbing. Derek grabbed her arm and they began running towards the house where Mark was lying unconscious on the ground with a bruise face and a bloody baseball bat near by. Jessica just began screaming and Derek held her still. Jessica squirmed out of his grasp and ran into the house.
"Mom!" She screamed crying in desperation. She ran through the whole house, but Meredith was nowhere to be found. She sprinted outside next to Derek where he was helping Mark up.
"She's gone, he took her." She said as Derek grabbed her close.
"We're going to find her it'll be okay." Derek soothed, hoping it was true.
'No, you don't understand. He's going to kill her, he said that if I ever told he would. And then. He." She broke down sobbing again. Derek gazed at his car and he lifted Jessica and ran towards it putting her in back while Mark hopped into the passenger seat.
"I'm not going to lose her now." Derek said starting the engine.
AN: Cute and fluffy is already out the window. And Finn is of course back. Of course Derek beat him up, but sometimes beating isn't enough. Only Jessica knows the dark side of Finn so some of her past will come up. Meredith being completely okay? I can't make any promises. Review and I'll be more motivated to put up the next chapter.
