Thanks to everyone who has been supporting my fic. It's great to know that people are enjoying what they read. Here is a long update for you
There was a moment's silence. Katie and Meredith stood close by Pete and Addie. Richard shuffled awkwardly. He looked at the people standing in front of him, he truly felt like he was out of the loop.
Meredith stepped forward and placed a hand over his. "We will talk again soon." she soothed. "But right now I need to get my assignment and then I will sort some more of this out."
Richard nodded. "I should probably get Adele in and explain all this to her." he muttered an excuse me before he left.
Meredith took Katie's hand. She turned to look at Pete and then at Addison. "What do you say to Joes for lunch?" she asked.
Addison nodded. "Better make it 1."
Pete looked confused. Addison laughed. "Joes is the bar across the road. It is the go to place for half the hospital."
Pete just shrugged and agreed.
"We will do an ultrasound first though." Addison told her.
Meredith chuckled. "I better include Mark in on this one." she told
them.
"Uh hello, baby sister and future aunt here." Katie reminded. "I do believe I should get in on this."
"Fine" Meredith said with a grin. "How about we make it an open House."
Pete laughed. "We better not forget Wilson."
"Never" said Meredith happily.
She then left with Katie following close behind.

Meredith was assigned to Shepherd who had been pulled before surgery to discuss the case that had so far baffled him. She sighed knowing that her family would be able to pick up on the tension of them as well as their prior knowledge that she had been dating the head of neuro.
Meredith couldn't help but laugh though because Meredith knew that she was better off and Derek's relationship with Rose hadn't lasted as he had gotten cold feet. It turned out that he ended up being a commitment phoebe. Now he existed if solitary. No relationships. He had once claimed that she broke him, but she considered differently.
Meredith found Derek in the first conference room. The information he had collected scattered in front of him. Meredith knocked before entering. "Dr Shepherd, I'm your resident for today." she advised him.
Derek didn't even look up as Meredith moved in; Katie took up position in the corner.
"I assure you Dr Grey you won't be needed. My surgery has already been scratched."
Meredith shifted uncomfortably. "Please Dr Shepherd I would like to look in on this case. I would find it intriguing and very beneficial."
Greg watched closely. He could see the cold look on Derek's face.
"Whether you find it intriguing or not does not concern Me." he replied. He still could not bring himself to look at her.
"Derek, don't be so unprofessional." She exclaimed as she moved in front of him.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" he asked, finally bringing his head up to look at her.
Meredith flinched when she could see the anger in his eyes.
"I am your resident whom you are required to teach." she bit back.
"And I don't wish to teach you. I can't even look at you right now." he
yelled.
Meredith glared at him. "And what the hell I have done this time?" she asked.
Her uncle went to stand, as did Lisa and Jimmy. Katie moved from the corner but still didn't say anything.
"You let him impregnate you. Sloan. My brother. Those kids should have been mine."
Meredith laughed in his face. "You're serious aren't you? What a pathetic creature you have turned out to be. You chose someone else over me. There would have always been someone else. You go on about how I broke you. You broke me and left mark to pick up the pieces."
Derek glared at her. He was struggling to find something to say.
"Are you done?" Greg finally asked "or are you going to continue to harass your pregnant resident."
Derek turned to look at Greg. "Excuse you Dr House, but this is a private matter."
"Yes I can see" he replied as both Wilson and he made their way around the table to stand in front of Meredith.
"This doesn't
concern you." Derek said sharply.
Both Wilson and Greg laughed. "That's where you are wrong" Jimmy replied. "Anything to do with Meredith Grey concerns me."
Derek's eyes flared. "Is it because you've slept with her, or her mother? Because I have heard they were both whores."
Greg swung his cane hard, cracking Derek in the ribs. "Are you going to continue?" he asked fiercely.
Derek looked at Meredith coldly. "Like mother like daughter."
Greg raised his cane again. But Meredith caught me.
Meredith pushed past both her uncles and slapped him hard across the face. "You lost the right to call me a whore when you kissed the scrub nurse." she bit.
Greg glared at him, and Katie moved to her sister's side, both Pete and Addison came in to see what the commotion was. Addison was surprised to see Derek holding his side. "He hit me" Derek said pointing at Greg.
Addie looked curiously at the scene in front of her.
"He called my mother and me a whore" Meredith stated clearly.
Pete clenched his fists.
Addie rested her hand on Pete's shoulder and told him no.
"I don't see why he is defending her unless he has slept with her." Derek said sharply.
"You've got to be kidding me" Meredith said with a laugh.
Addison cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Derek, but no one in this room believes in incest."
Derek looked at her confused. "The only person in here that has had sex with Meredith would be you. And I'm sure she's regretting it. Actually I'm kind of regretting it to." she told him as she walked over to Meredith.
"What the fuck are you talking about Addie?" Derek snapped.
"Grey I see you failed to do the introductions." Addie said with a grin.
Meredith smiled "Oh right" she swallowed and stepped forward. "You were never important enough to meet my family." she said smartly. "But I guess you need to know. This is my uncle Greg." she said pointing to him. "He is my mother's brother."
Derek winced.
"This is my uncle Jimmy. The lady over there is my Aunt Lisa, Greg's wife. Who I assure you found the thought of any of them sleeping with me kind of disturbing after all. Like Addie said, my family doesn't do
incest." she then continued.
"This here is my cousin Pete, and this is my cousin Addie. You may recall her being you ex wife, but I do believe she is also referred to as Dr Addison Montgomery House. She's Pete's wife so I suggest you hold your tongue. And this here is Katie. I suggest you stay away from her. Not only because she is my sister, whom you just inclusively called a whore. But because she is also their niece, their cousin and..."
"My daughter" Richard cut in across her as he entered the room.
Derek's eyes grew wide. "And if I hear that you have called any of the women I love a whore again you will cop more than a beating. I assure you."
"Is that a threat?" Derek asked as he tried to stand properly.
"No, that's a promise." Richard said quietly. "Now why are you wincing in pain?"
"I hit him with my cane." Greg said proudly.
"And why did you do that?" Richard asked.
"Apart from him calling my girls a whore, he abused her for carrying Marks children."
"I see" said Richard,
"Oh and my favourite part is he accused me of sleeping with my niece and my sister."
Richard glared at Derek.
"I'm not sure if it was directed at me or Greg, but same goes." Jimmy said.
"Hmmm... you're lucky Marks no here." Addie spoke up. "Mer told me how he pulverised you face last time you accused her of deliberately miscarrying your baby."
Addie shook her head.
Richard still glared at Derek. "Get out of my sight. Get an x-ray on your rib and then go home. I don't want you back here today."
"But my case" Derek protested.
"Not going to happen." Richard replied.
Derek stormed out of the room.
"Meredith this is your case now." Richard told her, he then nodded and he too left.
"I'll need to read over these before I can confer with you about the patient. Meredith told them.
"Now" said Jimmy, "before your aunt kills me, I suggest you get an ultrasound after the panic attack this morning and the show just now."
Meredith looked at Addie. "Open house" she said loudly, and they followed her only stopping to get Mark paged so he could be present for the scans.
