Chapter 9: Beautiful Disaster

"Derek! Hey, good to see you." An older man said slapping Derek on the back.

"Hey Dad, this is my girlfriend, Kelly." Derek said grinning widely.

"Dr. Shepherd, It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry that Derek forgot to mention I was coming." Kelly said smiling apologetically while shaking Charles Shepherd's hand.

"Oh, please call me Charlie. It's no problem, we're always prepared for some extra arrivals, and people drop in all the time." Charlie reassured Kelly.

"I told you it wasn't going to be a problem." Derek said hugging Kelly tightly to his side.

"Why don't you go in and meet the rest of the family, they're in the kitchen." Charlie said shooing Kelly and Derek into the general direction.

"I think that's a good idea. You have nothing to worry about, Kells. My family is filled with women so it will be completely different for you than it was with me." Derek said mentioning the stern talking to Kelly's brothers had had with him.

Before Kelly could answer they were in the kitchen being surrounded by women and who Kelly assumed were their husbands. "Derek! I haven't seen you for so long!" Derek's sister, Daisy exclaimed.

"Everyone, I want you to meet my girlfriend, Kelly." Derek introduced grinning widely.

"Hi Kelly, I'm Lily, Derek's mother." A pretty older woman introduced herself. "This is Ava and Cole, that's Cassidy and Carter over there, Daisy and Max are right here, and-."

"And…I'm Derek's sister Lacey." Lacey said interrupting her mother.

"Lacey did always have a problem with people introducing her to other people." Derek said laughing.

"It's really nice to meet you all." Kelly said acknowledging each person who was introduced.

"I bet you $5 that you can't name all the kids and who their parents are." Derek's brother-in-law, Carter joked.

"I'll take that bet," Kelly said smiling. She had a great memory. "Cody, Ella, Molly and Chase belong to Ava and Cole. Landon, Bianca, Avery and Hope belong to you and Cassidy. Braden, Bryson and Leila belong to Daisy and Max, and Cara belongs to Lacey." Kelly smiled confidently.

"Jeez, I still can't keep track of them all." Carter said which made everyone burst into laughter.

"So Kelly, how did you and Derek meet?" Derek's oldest sister, Ava asked.

"Well, we met through my friend Meredith. I was at her surprise birthday party at Seattle Grace and Derek and Meredith are pretty good friends. So, I was talking to Meredith and Derek just walked up and started talking to me." Kelly said smiling as she remembered that night. "Then that night we went out for Meredith's birthday and Derek drove me to the restaurant because I had just gotten into town and had no car." Kelly explained.

"May I ask why you were in Seattle?" Lacey asked.

"I lived out there a long time ago and my father still lives there. Plus Richard Webber had called me in to help on a case." Kelly explained.

"What type of surgeon are you?" Ava's husband, Cole asked.

"Neurosurgeon, my grandfather was one and he was like, my hero." Kelly replied.

"That's quite a coincidence." Lily Shepherd said what everyone had been thinking since Kelly had walked into the house.

"Hey, what can I say? I love smart, talented, beautiful, red-haired women." Derek joked. Kelly laughed along with the rest of Derek's family.

"So, Kelly, your last name is Garrison? Is that any relationship to William Garrison?" Daisy's husband, Max asked while they were starting to clear the table.

"That's actually my father." Kelly explained. "It could be my brother you're talking about also. Or come to think about it, my grandfather too." Kelly said laughing a little.

"Wow, you must be an amazing surgeon, your family is pretty much all surgeons, right?" Daisy asked.

"She is. We had a little girl. She was an actress and she had to have a super secret silent sunset surgery, as I like to call it and Kelly was there the whole time doing everything the way it was supposed to be done." Derek proudly announced to his family.

"Oh, I'm really not that good." Kelly said, a little embarrassed.

"Liar. Okay, well, we have to be heading out now. I'll call you all when I get back to Seattle." Derek said kissing all the women goodbye and shaking hands with the men. "Tell the kids, I love them." Derek said mentioning the sleeping children.

"Will do, Derek. Goodbye, Kelly. It was very nice meeting you." Charlie Shepherd said.

"It was nice meeting you all too." Kelly replied.

"How about we go to the pier and go on a ferryboat ride?" Derek suggested while pulling out of the Shepherd's neighborhood.

"Sounds good. You know you really didn't have to talk about how great a surgeon I am." Kelly told him.

"Why not? You're talented and beautiful; you should talk about your accomplishments." Derek said.

"In med school, when everyone found out who my parents were, they thought I only got in because of them. So, I guess I got used to hiding all my accomplishments that had nothing to do with my parents." Kelly told him.

"You don't have to do that around my family, that's for sure. They don't care, they're pretty laid back." Derek explained.

"I saw that." Kelly replied.

"You know what I love about you?" Derek asked. They had just gotten onto the ferryboat.

"No, what do you love about me?" Kelly asked.

"I love your cute little nose and your beautiful hair." Derek replied.

"It's all about the outside appearance for you, isn't it?" Kelly joked.

"No, I'm not that shallow, I also love your personality and your ability to make everyone love you." Derek continued.

"There we go! I love your hair, a lot." Kelly told him giggling. "It's floppy. I just can't help but smile every time I see it."

"I know, right?" Derek joked. They both laughed, but then, something caught Kelly's eye.

"Derek, watch out!" Kelly screamed. But, it was too late.

AN: I got really sad. No one reviewed! I know this chapter is kinda short...I thought it was longer and it was a perfect place for a cliffy. Tune in tomorrow(?) to learn what happens to Derek.
