Meredith was sitting next to her husband. Soon his mother and sisters would be here and their 'peaceful' days would be over. Derek was different from them. He was kind and friendly, never blamed others for something they have never done and always was together with people, who meant something to him. Amelia, Meredith and their kids. They were his world. He would do anything for them. But them were different. Meredith didn't know them well, but a few minutes at Derek's funeral were hell to her.

Amelia, who was standing next to Meredith, put her hand on Mer's shoulder. "We will be alright." She said and Meredith looked up. She met Amelia's blue eyes. "We will fight them together if we will need."

Meredith smiled and stood up. "I hope there won't be a need for it. I don't want to have a war with them. We are here for Derek."

"Dr. Shepherd's?" Called nurse from the doorway. Meredith looked at her and nodded. "Dr. Bailey asked me to say you that they are here. They will he here in about three or four minutes."

"Thank you, nurse Karen!" Answered Amelia and smiled at nurse. She left the room and closed the room.

"Amy – " Meredith started but Amelia stopped her.

"We will get through it. I'm doing this for all my life. Don't worry about them." Amelia tried to joke but it didn't work out. Meredith was afraid and scared. She didn't want to be here. She wanted to run away and hide, be with her kids and pray for Derek. He had to wake up, there was no other way.

"Meredith – "

There was a knock on the door and they both turned around. They save Bailey and behind her them – Carolyn, Nancy, Kathleen and Elizabeth. They were all looking at her.

"Can we come in?" She asked and Meredith nodded. She couldn't say anything. She was afraid and felt uncomfortable. Seeing her sisters and mother in law made her nervous and scared. And she remembers their words at the funeral. They hurt her.

Amelia and Meredith stood at the end of the room, allowing them to entry. They came inside and Bailey left them alone, closing the door after her. They were alone. All Shepherd woman were in the same room.

"Derek!" Meredith heard Carolyn say. Her hand flew to her mouth and she saw tears in her eyes. She was the first one of them who stepped closer to him. She took his hand and cried. Her son was lying there. His heart was beating and he was alive. Next to her stood Nancy and touched Derek's right leg. Liz went to the other side and touched his left hand, which now had his wedding ring on. Meredith had put it back after a long talk with Bailey and Owen. They were against it, but Meredith managed to persuade them.

Kath was the only who stayed back. She looked at her brother and then at her sister and sister-in-law. She took a step closer and came to stand in front of Amelia. She took her youngest sister in a hug.

"Amelia, I'm so sorry!" She said and touched her face. "I'm so sorry for being a bad sister and sister-in-law." She turned and looked at Meredith. Her brown eyes were soft and wet. "I'm so sorry Meredith! Please forgive me for everthing."

Meredith took her hand a squeezed it. "I'm so sorry for not defending you then. I was broken and – "

"It's alright." Meredith answered ans looked into her eyes. "It wasn't your fault and it's in the past."

Kath took Meredith in her arms and hugged. Meredith hugged her back and closed her eyes. She was happy. She was happy that at least another one of Shepherd sisters were nice and cared also for her. She was waiting for this moment for a long time and finally it came. She always wanted to feel loved in their family.

"Thank you, Kath." Meredith said with tears in her eyes. This meant a lot to her.

"Thank you, Meredith." She answered a wiped away her tear. Meredith smiled and Kath but then Mer's phone stopped the moment.

Arizona R.: Ellis is crying, we can't stop her.

Meredith almost instantly dialected Arizona's number and called her.

"Mer, we are coming up. I'm so sorry – "

"It's alright. Is she sick?" Meredith asked and looked at Amelia, who was concerned.

"No. We don't know why she is crying."

Meredith opened the room's door and heard her daughter's cry. She put her phone down and ran to Arizona, who was carrying her. Arizona looked tired. Next to her was Alex wtth concerned expression. Meredith took Ellis in her arms, but she didn't stop crying.

"Ellis, honey, please don't cry! Mommy is here." Meredith caressed her small body and soon after she stopped crying. Meredith smiled and kissed her cheek. Ellis was asleep and her small fingers were wrapped around Meredith's index finger.

"You are a life saver, Mer." Alex said. "We tried to calm her down for ten minutes, tried to feed her, changed her diaper and more. She didn't stop crying."

"What's happening here?" Amelia asked and stood next to Kath. They both were looking at them.

"Ellis was crying and no one could stop her." Meredith answered. They both came closer and stood next to Meredith. Kath was looking at Ellis and smiled.

Meredith smiled back and said "This is your niece Ellis."

Kath touched Ellis little arm. "She is beautiful."

"Because she has our DNA." Amelia said and Meredith rolled her eyes. "She looks like Derek."

"I see that." Kath smiled and looked at Arizona and Alex. "I'm Katleen, Derek's sister."

"She is the good one." Added Amelia.

"I'm Alex, Mer's best friend." He said and shook hands with Kath. Arizona did the same.

"Arizona Robbins."

"Should we take her with us?" Alex asked.

"No, it will be alright. If she starts crying again, I want to be there." Meredith said and looked at her daughter.

Alex gave Amelia a bag with Ellis' stuff and left. Arizona followed him shortly after and promised to take care of boys.

"Boys? How many kids do you have?" Kath asked, as they went back to Derek's room.

"Four. Three boys and one girl."

"Three boys. Derek must me happy. He always wanted to have a son, now he was three and a little princess." Kath said and looked at Meredith. She was smiling.

"You don't have an idea. He loves them. When my OB told us about the twins – "

"Twins?"

"Matt and Chris. They are five and they are the little clones of Derek." Meredith said and laughed.

"I have to agree with Mer. They even share his personality. Let's say – Mer has three Derek's at home." Amelia added. She was walking next to Meredith and carring the bag.

"And then we have a two years old Bailey. Derek Bailey actually, but we call him Bailey."

"As that doctor?" Kath was suprised.

"She saved my life. I almost died."

"He should be in New York!" They heard Nancy shouting.

"No, Nancy. His place is here, in Seattle." Carolyn argued back.

"I'm with mom, Nance. He has a life here." Liz added.

"With her? Seriously? Do you really think – "

"We know. Meredith is made for Derek. You always saw him with Addison, because she is your best friend." Liz said when Meredith, Kath and Amelia came into the room. They suddenly stopped and looked at the child in Mer's arms.
