Chapter 7: (Nice To Meet You) Anyway
"I can't believe I never told you that I grew up in New Jersey." Kelly said while she and Derek sat in the car outside Kelly's mother's house.
"I guess you just forgot that tiny detail." Derek said smiling before opening the door for himself and then Kelly.
"So, this is the Derek Shepherd." Kelly's mom, Hannah greeted warmly.
"It's nice to meet you Dr. Garrison." Derek greeted back.
"Please, call me Hannah. Everyone else does." She smiled. "Kelly, your nieces and nephews have been looking for you." Hannah told Kelly.
"I'll go look for them right now." Kelly replied.
"Derek, Kelly's brothers have been waiting for you, I think they wanted to speak with you." Hannah told him.
Derek gulped. "Okay,"
"You'll be okay, I promise." Kelly reassured Derek and giving him a quick kiss before walking away which made Derek smile.
"Hello. I'm Derek Shepherd, Kelly's boyfriend." Derek introduced himself to Kelly's 3 older brothers plus her 3 brothers in law.
"Hi Derek, I'm Ben. I'm married to Mia." A handsome blond man, Derek's age introduced himself. Derek shook his outstretched hand. "This is Will, he's the oldest." Ben said pointing to a guy that looked about 45 and had brown hair. "That's Matt, that's Austin, Jake, and Justin are these two." Ben said pointing them each out. Matt looked just like his brother only younger, he was 40. Austin was 38 and he had red hair like Kelly and his mother. Jake and Justin were brothers, both with dark brown hair and handsome faces.
"It's nice to meet you all." Derek smiled. Unlike these men, Derek was handsome and hot, something they would never be.
"So how long have you been going out with my baby sister?" Will asked, not sounding too friendly.
"Almost 2 weeks." Derek said leaning down to unleash Shadow, who he had walked in with. The young dog pranced away to join in the fun of the other dogs who were playing with the kids.
"Isn't that a little soon to be bringing someone home to meet the family?" Austin asked.
"Hey, I was brought here a week after Mia and I started dating. We got married 3 weeks later, we are so in love." Ben said turning to Derek.
"Yeah, but Mia isn't our baby sister." Matt replied.
"So, that makes me less important?" A tall brunette joked walking up to them. "Hi, I'm Mia the unimportant." Mia smiled.
"Hi Mia, it's very nice to meet you." Derek returned the smile.
"Let this poor guy go hang out with Kelly. She's playing house with the kids." Mia said pointing to Kelly sitting at a tiny table holding a cute baby.
"Thanks," Derek said walking away.
"Derek, one more thing." Will, Matt, and Austin walked over and they all leaned in. "If you hurt our baby sister, you're dead."
"I'll keep that in mind, thanks." Derek said walking away.
"I think I was just threatened." Derek said sitting down next to Kelly.
"They did not!" Kelly replied astonished.
"It's no big deal. Who's this cutie?" Derek asked making silly faces at the baby.
"This is little Mason, Mia and Ben's baby."
"Ben and Mia seem nice." Derek said holding out his arms to take Mason.
"Ben is definitely the nicest of my brother in laws. Jake and Justin are brothers and they're kind of shallow. They don't talk much either." Kelly replied.
"I noticed that. Where are the rest of the kids? Kayla, James and Savannah, right?" Derek asked.
"Yup, I think we're playing hide and seek. Help me find them?" Kelly asked smiling and holding out her hand behind her as she walked away. Derek grabbed onto it with his free hand.
"Hm, where could they be?" Kelly asked, playing dumb.
"I have no idea!" Derek exclaimed putting his hand over his eyes like he was looking over the horizon instead of looking in a big yard.
Mason gurgled a little and pointed to a little girl nearby underneath the picnic table.
"Who is that Mason?" Kelly asked.
"Sava," Mason replied which really meant "Savannah."
"I'll get her from behind, go stand in front of her and pretend like you're looking." Kelly whispered. Derek did as he was told and pretended to be confused as to where the little kids were.
"Gotcha!" Kelly said tickling a now giggling Savannah. "Where are Kayla and Jay?" Kelly asked and Savannah whispered in her ear about where they were.
"Savvy, you just gave away our hiding spots!" The twins yelled.
"It's okay guys; I want you to meet someone anyway." Kelly told them smiling at Derek who smiled back. "This is my boyfriend, Derek." Kelly said.
"Hi Derek." Savannah, Kayla and Jay said in unison.
"Hi guys." Derek said crouching to their level. "You want to play a better game then this?" Derek asked smiling.
"YEAH!" They screamed. Kelly stood behind him and laughed. Derek is so hot when he smiles.
"Okay, have you ever played Red light, Green light?" Derek asked.
"No," The cousins said again in unison.
"Okay, Aunt Kelly s going to be it, okay Aunt Kelly?" Derek asked.
"Sure, I remember this game." Kelly said walking 15 feet away and turning around.
"Okay, she is going to say 'green light'. When she says this, you can run as fast as you can as far as you can. But when she says 'red light' you have to stop running. If you don't stop, you have to go back to the starting place, which is going to be the picnic table. Everyone understand?" Derek asked.
"Yes." Savannah, Kayla, and Jay said.
"Ok Kell, we're ready."
"Green light," Kelly screamed. This caused the little kids and Derek (still carrying Mason) to run towards her. "Red light!" Kelly yelled turning around quickly. Derek was all the way in the back, the two girls were in the middle and James was right near Kelly. Satisfied that no one had moved Kelly continued the game which resulted in Jay winning. The game continued until Hannah announced that dinner was ready.
"So Derek, have you been married before?" Will, who was sitting next to Kelly, asked. This question caused Kelly to slap her brother's arm, hard.
"No Kell, it's okay. I was married before, she um, cheated on me." Derek paused when all the women in Kelly's family gasped. "With my best friend." Derek finished. This caused another gasp. "When I found out, I moved to Seattle and met Meredith, we started dating and then Addison, my ex-wife, came to help with a neonatal case. Then I had to choose between Addison and Meredith. I chose Addison; we thought we could work it out. But it turned out that we couldn't and by then Meredith and Addison and I had all become friends, so we got divorced. And then, I met Kelly." Derek smiled at the last sentence.
"See kids, you don't have to hate your father for cheating on me, I'm over it, and you should be too." Hannah reasoned.
"Let's just not talk about that right now, we might spoil our wonderful evening." Kelly's sister, Isabella said.
"Good idea." The Garrison siblings said in unison.
"So where are you guys going tomorrow?" Kelly's sister Madison asked.
"Well, first we're going to the hospital so I can get some things. Then, we're going to Derek's penthouse in the city for lunch. Lastly, we're going to his family's house for dinner." Kelly finished smiling and squeezing Derek's leg underneath the table. This caused him to jump and cough into his napkin. Kelly winked at him.
"That sounds nice. Where are you staying tonight?" Abby, Will's wife asked.
"My house, I have to call the realtor also." Kelly said thinking aloud.
"Why, are you selling your house hunnie?" Hannah asked.
"You didn't tell them?" Derek asked.
"Didn't tell us what?" Will asked suspiciously.
"Richard Webber asked me to move to Seattle to be an Attending at Seattle Grace, and I said yes." Kelly smiled at Derek who squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"Kelly, why did you do that? You know that dad lives out there." Matt exclaimed with hate.
"I love it out there. I love the ferries. I love the rain. I love the people." Kelly said looking at Derek.
"New York has ferries, people and it rains a lot." Austin tried to reason with his younger sister.
"I already signed the contract. I probably should have told you first, but I wanted it to be a surprise." Kelly said.
"Oh, it was a surprise alright." Isabella said sarcastically.
"You know what? I did not come all the way back to New Jersey to be yelled at. If you all can't act civilly Derek and I will leave." Kelly said irritably pushing her plate away and walking away in a huff.
"I guess I'll go after her." Derek said after a few seconds of silence.
"That might be a good idea. It was nice meeting you Derek." Hannah said kindly.
"Bye everyone." Derek replied grabbing his jacket that Kelly had been wearing and walking away.
Derek found Kelly leaning against the rental car with Shadow lying near her feet. "Are you okay, babe?" Derek asked calmly.
"I'm just never good enough for them. They make a stink when I make my own decisions but no one says anything when they make important decisions. Did you know that when I got Shadow they wanted me to bring him back to where I got him and get a refund on my money? I was furious." Kelly said.
"How about we just go to your place and you can relax." Derek suggested.
"Yeah, let's go. I can't stand being here anymore." Kelly said jumping into the car.
AN: Oh boy! What's going to happen next? I know but do YOU have any guesses? Thanks everyone that reviewed. PLEASE REVIEW! I like seeing my inbox filled with messages. But is it ever filled? I think not. Long enough? Next chapter will be Derek and Kelly at her house and meeting the Shepherds! (Sounds like it would be a good movie!)
