Meredith looked at the terminal gates waiting for her boyfriends parents to walk through the gate. She was so nervous. Derek sensed this and squeezed her hand gently.

"Don't worry. They'll love you. I promise."

"I hope your right."

When have I been wrong?"

"Oh I can think of a few times"

"You're such a liar."

"Hey hate to break it up but I think I can see

Paul's head towering over all those people." Hailey said pointing at a very tall man towering over everyone else in the crowd

Meredith looked over at Hailey "Do you seriously think they'll like me?"

"If I like you they'll like you. Oh my mother nearly threw Addison out of the house when she went to visit them."

"Hailey not helping!"

"Oh calm down woman."

"I am calm. I'm just nervous."

A large group of people came hurtling towards Meredith Hailey and Derek, hugging and kissing them. When everyone had finished hugging and kissing Derek's mother stepped back and looked Meredith up and down.

"It's so nice to meet you honey!" she said as she pulled Meredith in for another hug.

"Ok so everyone this is Meredith, Meredith this is everyone." Derek announced. He leaned closer to Meredith and whispered in her ear. "I'll introduce you to everyone properly when they come over tonight ok?"

Meredith nodded. "Ok"

"Ok everyone go get your bags and we'll meet you at the front of the airport."

Everyone scrambled in the direction of the conveyor belts that bought the bags out. Meredith and Derek stayed behind. But Hailey got pulled off by her mother.

"So what's she like sweetie? Be honest." She said to Hailey as they waited for the bags. Hailey's sisters and 1 brother and their wives and husbands came in closer to listen.

"She is amazing. Really great. She is so much fun to hang out with and its clear that Derek loves her and she loves him."

All the sisters sighed. Then her mother spoke up. "What's this about Addison being in town still after they got the divorce?"

"Oh she reckons she wants to stay in town because Izzie, Meredith's room mate, shows a lot of promise in her field of work and wants to teach her. Which I reckon is complete shit. She just thinks there's still a chance of Derek going back to her. That's what I think anyway."

"Well I'll give her a piece of my mind when we go see Richard." Hailey's older sister Amelia spoke up.

"Oh don't worry Am I've already done that.' Hailey announced. There talk stopped when there bags started to come out of the conveyer belt.


Meredith and Derek stood outside of the airport neither one of them had said a word since Derek's family went to get their bags. Meredith spoke first.

"Oh my god."

"What? Happy that they like you."

"Yeah but also…" Meredith face went from a serious one to a playful one "…there's so many!"

Derek laughed and grabbed Meredith around the waist and started tickling her.

"Ahhh Derek stop it!" Meredith squealed. Hailey had ran in front of everyone to tell Derek to get the cars ready when she saw them playing around , she motioned for her sisters to hurry up so they could see them. All the sisters' awwwed knowing there brother was truly in love.

Derek continued the tickle attack. Oblivious to his sisters watching him.

"Derek stop!" Meredith pleaded.

"Ok ok but only because I love you." He held her close to him and heatedly kissed her.

"I love you too." She breathed as he let her go, only to pick her up so her legs were wrapped around his waist. Meredith stared at him straight in the eye.

"What?" he looked up at her.

"Nothing." She looked around at her surroundings when she looked at Derek he was still looking at her. Something caught the corner of her eye. "Ummm Derek?"

"Yeah"

"We have an audience." Meredith said indicating to his sisters inside the airport.

"Really? Well we'll just have to give them something to watch." He winked at her.

"Uh I think not! Now put me down."

"Never!" He announced and maneuvered her so she was lying in his arms. (Like when after a wedding the groom sometimes picks up his bride ya know) He began to spin her around.

"Derek stop it!"

He placed her down so she was standing on her own to feet again.

"You evil man!" She hit him playfully

He grinned at her then kissed her. He looked over and glared at his sisters. Who immediately jumped back from the glass window, put there hands behind there backs and pretended to walk around like nothing had happened. "Come on we'll go get the cars." When Meredith and Derek pulled up in separate cars to take people to wherever they were going everyone was waiting at the front for them. Derek jumped out.

"Ok so Am you, Nathan, Jack and Casey are coming with me as well as Josie and Greg. Jack and Casey will have to sit on your laps. Mum, you, Dad, Hailey, Paul, Jackie and Hannah will go with Meredith back to our place. Kate, Kevin and your littlies will have to get a cab. Sorry about that where just a bit short of room. Ok so everyone you know where your going, so go." Derek announced.

Meredith walked over to him. "You know what's really scary about that?"

"What?"

"You just reminded me so much of Bailey." She walked away laughing to herself.


About half an hour later Meredith pulled into her driveway.

"Wow! Your house is huge!" Paul exclaimed.

"Oh thanks. It was my mothers."

"Oh is she dead?"

"No she's traveling." Meredith said nervously as she opened the door and let everyone in. "So this is it! George and Izzie should be home soon." Meredith showed everyone to there room's and helped them get settled in. By the time she had finished Derek showed up with the rest of the crew.

"Hey." He gave her a quick kiss before he rounded everyone up into the living room, as well as George and Izzie when they came home.

Derek stood at the front of the room.

"Ok every body! I understand that you all want to go to the hospital and see Richard tomorrow. But please don't say too much about Meredith and I ok because seriously we don't want the whole hospital knowing, even if Richard does kind of know a little bit. He has only guessed that Meredith and I have gotten back together since my divorce. So for the sake of our careers don't say anything!"

Meredith spoke up "Not only don't say anything, someone is always around the hospital watching."

"And that person watching is normally Bailey."

"Exactly! So even something like a wave or a smile is a big no! Ok!"

Everyone in the room nodded. Meredith went and sat down next to Derek's father, Drew.

He lent over and whispered in her ear "I'm really glad he's found someone like you. You're a wonderful person Meredith."

Meredith looked up at him and smiled, then hugged him. "Thank you."

Derek watched Meredith from across the room and smiled. He followed Meredith when she got up to go to the kitchen, to get some people drinks. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey." She said

"Hey your self beautiful."

Meredith felt her cheeks go red.

"What's the time?"

Derek looked over at the clock. "Midnight"

"Oh I have to get up at 4 tomorrow morning. I'm going to bed ok?"

" Were going to bed." Izzie said as she and George trudged up the stairs. Meredith walked into the living room.

"It's been really nice meeting you all, but I have to go to bed. I have to et up at 4 tomorrow morning. Good night." Meredith walked up stairs to her bedroom and collapsed on her bed. A few minutes later Derek fell next to her. "What are you doing? You don't have to go into work tomorrow or the next day!"

"I though I might come and cuddle you."

"What do you mean by cuddling?"

"Like holding you, wrapping my arms around you!"

"Oh ok then cuddle away."

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, he fell asleep listening to her breathing softly next to him.
