-1"Iz, how's Derek doing? I mean he just became a dad and you abonded him with six more kids." Meredith rambled beginning to get worried.
"He'll be fine, as long as he's got them watching Mickey Mouse Club." Izzie said as Meredith handed her the discharge papers.
"Mer, have you ever had the chicken pox." Izzie asked.
"No, why?" Meredith asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. She gave Izzie a Bailey glare and for once, it actually turned out looking like a Bailey glare.
"Well…you see…Jessica…" Izzie stammered under the glare.
"Iz, you didn't…" Meredith replied with a slight groan and a sigh.
"She did." Alex said entering the room and giving Izzie a peck on the cheek and giving Izzie a muffin.

"We are watching Mickey Mouse Club!" Morgan and Lexi shrieked at the top of their lungs. Derek was in the kitchen and had seven bandages on his face. He was trying to cover Sam's bleeding sore but she was being fussy and decorating his face with Hello Kitty band aids. Christina was in the bathroom clinging to the edge of the toilet seat after vomiting twice on the floor. Ryan had slipped and fell into the vomit and was crying uncontrollably. Matt was bouncing off the couch and flew himself towards the TV which ended in him crashing and the TV falling and breaking on the floor. Luckily nobody was hurt by broken glass and the battle for the remote began again, with kicking and screaming, and children pausing every now and then to itch a sore.
"I am so going to kill Izzie." Derek muttered to himself hearing the crash and screaming fight.

"My house…" Meredith stuttered quietly while walking slowly towards the family room, all the others following slowly behind her. The house was wrecked but the house was dead silent. Meredith headed straight towards the living room, being careful to avoid the puke.
There were two large pink stains of calamine lotion in the middle of the room. The TV was doubled over onto the floor and glass was strewn everywhere, along with a little bloody footprints, which also contained glass. A sewing kit was out and so was the first aid kit. In the middle of the floor was Derek, who lie sleeping on his back in the middle of the carpet. Jessica was snuggled up against his side next to Lexi, each holding a death grip on the remote, which also looked broken. Matt was on the other side of Derek, using Morgan's nails to scratch his neck in his sleep. Christina laid beside Morgan with Sam asleep on her chest. Ryan was sleeping huddled next to her sucking his thumb. Alex and George each took a giant step back waiting for Izzie or Meredith to freak out. But Meredith just sighed and yawned. She walked over and moved Matt gently away from Derek and snuggled up against his chest, stifling her laughter as she noticed the thirty seven hello kitty bandages all over him. Izzie and Alex laid down and pulled Lexi towards them. George sighed and between Matt and Morgan to prevent Matt from using Morgan's arm as a back scratcher. Then they all fell into a deep sleep.

"We are going to the house, Derek built it specially for us, and now we're going to go live in it. All your clothes and stuff is there." Meredith stated firmly across the breakfast table.
"It's right next to the woods." Jessica hissed, wide eyed and scared.
"Derek won't let anything happen to us, besides he has a dog. Dogs are very protective." Meredith said over her newspaper.
"But I've lived here my whole entire life, and Max would be the worst guard dog ever. He's the most lovable golden retriever. He would lick Finn to death, besides the guy's a vet, animals don't bother him." Jessica said spooning another spoonful of Muselini into her mouth. Izzie entered the kitchen and wrinkled her nose.
"I can make you pancakes Jessica, you don't have to eat that crap." Izzie said pointing at the Muselini.
"It's not crap, it's crunchy and it has raisins, and it's fibery, I like it." Jessica stated.
"You know you sound just like your dad." Meredith said turning the newspaper page.
"Morning Mer, Jess, Izzie." Derek said entering and smiling at his daughter eating Muselini before grabbing himself a bowl.
"You can't call her Jess, she won't let anyone call her that." Meredith said and Izzie nodded.
"He can call me Jess." Jessica said pouring Derek some Muselini.
"Whatever Jess," Meredith said.
"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you! It's Jessica." Jessica stated firmly with her mouth full of cereal.
"Jess, you shouldn't talk with you mouth full." Derek said grabbing the sports section from Meredith.
"Okay dad," Jessica said. Meredith glared at Derek and Jessica smiled to herself. She liked saying Dad, having a dad, being able to gang up on her mom with her dad, eating cereal at breakfast with her dad.

Two days later everyone had settled into a new routine. Jessica and Meredith moved in with Derek at the new house. Jessica was always jumpy at night and had night mere's, but she didn't complain. Izzie and Alex finally had a house to raise their family and already were painting Jessica's old room pink, and redoing George's room for Ryan, they were also building a nursery as Izzie was expecting another baby. George had moved into the small two bedroom two bathroom house across the street with Steven and was seeing Sharron, the doctor who had monitored Steven during the whole chicken pox thing.
Scabs had slowly begun turning into sores with the proper care from the parent's. Meredith had even taught Derek about helping Jess when she was sick.
One late night Jessica was staring out her bedroom window into the darkness of the forest. She shuddered to herself, she didn't want to think about Finn, his cabin, or his dogs that created his insane side of his life. Suddenly she saw a jet black figure come out of the woods near the bushes. Jessica snuck downstairs and was unnoticed by Meredith and Derek who were kissing and doing other things Jessica didn't want to think about. She slid open the kitchen glass door and took a rolling pin out of the drawer in the dark kitchen. She took a whistle out of her flannel pajama bottom pocket. It was long and hollow, and was a shiny silver and was hung on a leather cord tied around the back of her neck. She took a breathe and blew into the whistle. A shrill sound came out from the whistle and Jessica waited patiently for the black lab in the backyard.

"One more time?" Meredith said snuggling closer to Derek.
"I am old Meredith, your going to be the death of me." Derek said out of breathe. Meredith frowned and looked up and at him through her eyelashes, batting them once for effect. Derek sighed "Fine but I need to eat first." Derek said gathering his boxers and a T-shirt and heading towards the kitchen.

Jessica began rummaging through the cabinets for Derek's beef jerky. It was the only meat on hand. Derek came up from behind her and bumped into her in the darkness. Jessica let out a shrill scream and grabbed the rolling pin, hitting Derek squarely in the stomach. He groaned in pain and grasped the rolling pin and Jessica against him, trying to hold her still. Meredith came running in and flicked the light switch. Jessica stopped trying to attack Derek and muttered a sorry blushing in shame. Derek only patted her shoulder with reassurance while all their eyes wandered to the kitchen. Jessica slowly approached the dog and dropped some beef jerky. The dog dropped a package covered in brown and wrapped with twine and began lapping up the beef jerky while Jessica gave the dog a quick ear rub.
"Okay Floppsy, you should get going now." Jessica cooed rubbing the dogs ears. "Finn will be mad if you don't come back." She said slowly recoiling from the black lab. The lab gave her a pouting look but another shrill whistle was heard from the distance. Floppsy looked at Jessica disappointed, but trudged out and began running towards the edge of the woods, and then her figure became nothing but black as she ran into the woods. Jessica handed the package to Derek before tearing up and running towards her room. Meredith followed her up the stairs in quick pursuit, leaving Derek alone to close the kitchen door and untie the twine. There were three items in the box. One was a card with Jessica's name. The second was a music box, and the third a cd. Derek opened the music box to find a ballerina twirling and soft music beginning to play. On the inside of the lid the name "Jessica Lynn Grey Sheppard" was etched in gold. But the Sheppard and Grey were crossed out, replaced with Finn's last name. He opened the card and out fell a picture of Meredith and Jessica, torn down the middle. Jessica's picture had "I'll be seeing you soon." written on the back and Meredith's had a skull and crossbones drawn on the back.
Derek's hand shakily removed the cd and he put it in his laptop on the kitchen table. He put on his headphones and pressed play.
A hissing voice of pure evil said in a serious voice "Seven more days."
Derek shut his laptop and immediately locked the front door and tucked everything into an empty kitchen drawer, planning on showing it to the police tomorrow morning.
AN: I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter so some reviews would be nice. I will be releasing the next chapter later today if I get enough reviews. Also I could use some advice cause I'd like to add maybe a little Alex and Izzie romance in here. The next chapters will be count downs like the next will be day 6. So stay tuned and keep reading and reviewing.
