Author's Note: So I was able to write a few chapters tonight. I think I will start updating with a new chapter every time I get 5 reviews. That way I know you are liking what is happening, and people are still reading. I am hoping to have more requests about what people really want to see too. So leave your feedback. Thanks for reading.

"Ma?" Derek said immediately after he heard someone pick up on the other end.

"Der, it is late here. What is wrong?" She questioned realizing he wouldn't be calling her at this hour if something wasn't wrong.

"Something is wrong with Amy. I called her tonight to see if she could perform the surgery on Arizona because I can't but I wasn't able to get her on the phone-" Derek tried to continue but his Carolyn cut him off.

"Derek, you can not just assume your sister has fallen off the wagon just because she didn't answer her phone, she could have been in surgery." Carolyn said hoping Derek had just jumped to conclusions.

"No Ma, I am not assuming anything. I didn't talk to Amy, but I did talk to her co-worker Sheldon. He said that she was recovering-" Derek said unable to finish because his mother cut him off again.

"Oh no, I really thought she would stay clean and everything this time. I thought last time she hit rock bottom she would never go back. She worked hard last time and everyone at the practice really seemed to help her. Why didn't Addie call us? We could have done something to help her. How come I am never notified until after something bad happens to my children? First the plane crash, now Amy relapsing, what's next? I don't think I can handle this anymore." Carolyn said so quickly that Derek was unable to cut in.

"Ma so down. It is okay. Apparently she did not relapse. Something else happened." Derek said just to calm her down, but instead making her even more anxious.

"Wait, what? If she didn't relapse then what is wrong with her?" Carolyn asked in an anxious tone.

"I don't know Ma. Sheldon said it wasn't his place to tell me." Derek tells her.

"Did you call Addie? She must know what is going on." She asked Derek.

"I did, but I didn't get an answer." Derek answers her.

"What are we going to do? I need to know what is going on with my baby. She needs me Derek. Why wouldn't she have called us?" Carolyn asks her son with tears welling in her eyes.

"Well I am gonna go out there hopefully tomorrow, if it is okay with Meredith." Derek tells his mother.

"Are you sure you are ready to be on a plane again? The accident just happened. You are still recovering. You need time to emotionally prepare yourself, before you get on a plane again. Your sisters and I will fly out tomorrow. I know you want to be there to find out what is happening with her, but we can always call. You should stay home and spend more time with Meredith and that sweet grandbaby of mine. Don't worry I will take care of Amy." Derek's mother says to him.

"Ma, I am okay to fly. Amy needs me. She needs me. Although she didn't call me and ask me to come, I know she needs me. I am her big brother, I need to protect her. If I can't help her now then I would not be doing my job as her big brother. I am going not matter what." Derek told his mother, mildly annoyed she said he didn't really need to be their.

"Oh my, how times will never change. Just as stubborn as the day we brought you home from the hospital. You need to make sure Meredith is okay with this too. She and Zola still need to come first Derek. They are your family too." Carolyn tells Derek.

"I am going to do that when I am done talking to you." Derek says.

"Okay well I am going to book our tickets once I talk to your sisters. I want to try and get to California at around noon their time. If you can get your flight to be around the same time, we can all meet up at the airport in LA. And make sure you bring me new pictures of my little Zola." Carolyn tells him.

"Okay Ma, I will. I will call you back with my flight time later so we can see where we want to meet up. Don't tell the girls everything, just let them know that we need to go see Amy. We don't want them freaking out over something we have very few details on." Derek tells his Ma.

"Good plan. I love you Derek. I guess I will see you tomorrow if Meredith agrees." Carolyn says finishing the conversation with Derek.

"I love you too Ma. See you tomorrow." Derek says as he puts down the phone.

Derek then goes to look for Meredith who had left to give him some time in private to talk to his mother. He found her on the couch watching the video of when Zola took her first steps. You could see the happiness in her eyes as she re-watched a moment of her life that she would never forget. Derek sits comfortably next to Meredith as the home video finishes up.

"Hey Der, how did your mother take the news about Amelia?" Mer asked.

"At first she thought the same thing I did, that Amy had fallen off the wagon again. But once I explained to her that, that didn't happen she became even more worried. She decided that she and my sisters will fly out tomorrow to see what is going on with her." Derek told Meredith.

"Derek, I think you should go too." Meredith tells him before he even tells her he wants to be there with his sister.

"You do?" He questioned hoping the answer would stay the same.

"Of course I do. She is your sister. I know that she has had her struggles in the past, and I think now you need to be with her. She is going to need your help with whatever she is going through. I don't want you to travel on a plane, but your sister needs you. I know you would put your feelings aside for something like this if I needed you to." Meredith explained to him.

"God Mer, I love you." He tells her as he kisses her.

"One thing Derek." She says as they pull away from the kiss. "I want Zola and I to come with you. We are apart of the family too, and seeing a cute baby always helps me feel better."

"I don't know how it is even possible, but I love you even more than I did 2 minutes ago." He says with a smile.

"While you better go book our tickets, we are probably going to have to get up pretty early tomorrow so we should get our sleep." Meredith tells him.

"I will get right on it." He tells her.

Soon after Derek books the tickets he calls his mom back to tell her that he will be there by noon. He did leave out the fact that Meredith and Zola were also coming, figuring it would be a nice surprise at the airport. She managed to tell him that all of his sisters in New You had managed to drop everything going on in their lives to fly out to California tomorrow. It was starting to look like a Shepherd sibling family reunion was about to take place. But the main focus still needed to be on Amelia.
