Ok so here is another chapter, I really hope you like it, and thanks for all the reviews, I hope you keep it up and even more.
"You are both still alive!! I'm impressed" said Derek as he entered his office to find both Kylie and Mark there, little did he know that they had joined forces for a common purpose, and had been plotting for it moments before he entered his office.
"So what did you do today?" Derek asked Kylie as he sat on the couch because Kylie was occupying the chair behind his desk.
" I watched Uncle Mark here, practice what he calls medicine" Kylie lied, she didn't follow Mark around as he went to do his job, but she stayed here in the office trying to come up with ways to get rid of Rose, they were very well used hours.
"Hey, I make people look good….and real" Mark defended.
Both Derek and Kylie snickered at that, causing Mark to scowl at them.
"This topic always leads to a never ending argument" said Derek while shuffling with some paper "so we are not going there"
"You're no fun Uncle Derek" Kylie fake pouted, Derek just smiled at her and shook his head.
"So how was your surgery?" asked Mark from his position by the door
"It looks promising" Derek answered
"Hold it!! Kylie said suddenly "are you being hopeful?" he was never been an optimist, he always assumed the worst so he won't get disappointed, which she understood in a way, but the important thing was what changed him?
"As a matter of fact, I am" he replied lifting his head from the paper work at Kylie's very loud fake gasp.
Once he buried his head back in the paper, Kylie glanced at Mark, a knowing smile on both their faces.
"So Uncle Derek, when am I going to meet Rose?" asked Kylie innocently, if she was going to start on her plan, now was as a good time as ever.
"Oh no, that's not happening" Derek said surprised she had even asked.
"What?! Why not?" she seemed to say this a lot these days
"Oh let me think" Derek put two fingers to his chin in mock thinking, Mark on the other hand was laughing his head off "it's the insides that matter! Seriously Kylie?!"
"I was being honest, if she can't handle it she should just shove a-" she broke off noticing the look on her Uncle's face "all I am saying" she continued on a softer note "that it's not my fault she has no self confidence"
Kylie stood up and walked over to where Mark was doubled down in laughter "me and Uncle Mark, would really like to have dinner with her, get to know her better"
"What?! No I-" Mark started, but he quickly stopped when he felt a sharp pain in his waist , looking around at Kylie he saw her glaring at him.
"I mean, er…yeah of course, I'd love to er.. have dinner with er… Rose" he stuttered, and Kylie's face relaxed once again to a smile.
They both looked at Derek having very stupid grins, as he stared back at them with raised eyebrows, very unsure of their sanity.
"You want to have dinner with Rose?" he asked
"Yes"
"Absolutely"
"You want to get to know her better" he asked wanting to make sure.
"Yes" said Mark once again, while Kylie nodded enthusiastically.
"Are you intoxicated?" he finally asked in a completely different tone
"We are not on drugs, we just want to meet your girlfriend" said Kylie casually.
His eyes were narrowed suspiciously as he looked at them, but after several moments he said "okay, I'll ask her, so tomorrow night?"
"Yeah, it'd be great" said Kylie, her smile not wavering.
Xxxxxxxxxxx
Four hours had passed since they told Derek about dinner, and Kylie has been following him around ever since, she waited for the moment he told her, the moment she knew, because starting before that would be pointless, she didn't think the evil nurse had enough brains to put two and two together, and figure out that they were not trying to open their arms and embrace her into the family, but quite the opposite.
Now watching them talking, she sneaked behind a supply cart to hear what they were saying without being detected.
"Tomorrow night?" came Rose's voice, she was uneasy, uncomfortable, and wide-eyed, which was not a pretty sight if I may add.
"Yes, tomorrow night" answered Derek trying to be reassuring
"I don't know" Kylie could see Rose's feet moving uncomfortably on the ground.
"It'll be a chance to meet my family" Derek was now trying to persuade her, which Kylie would gag on was it not so crucial "they were the ones to suggest it, you know"
"They did?" Rose's voice turned hopeful, but Kylie couldn't help but notice the slight trace of suspicion.
"Yeah, all them" Derek reassured her again, as if he too noticed that she was suspicious too.
"Ok, tomorrow night" Kylie had to bite on her lip to refrain herself from crying a "YES" out loud.
"Ok then" Kylie looked around from around the cart to see Derek kissing Rose on the cheek.
She watched as her Uncle walked away, and his girlfriend got back to work, but before she could sneak out, a shadow covered her and she looked up to see the head of Meredith Grey peering from over the cart.
"What are you doing?" she asked, trying to keep the laughter at bay, at the sight of Kylie crouching behind a cart.
"Er… I er… dropped my pen" Kylie answered, she was so screwed, she was caught by her Uncle's ex-girlfriend nonetheless.
Meredith looked at Kylie's hands which were pen-less "ah yes, the invisible pens, I heard about them, thought of buying one, but didn't really have the time" a smile was gracing her lips
"You are so enjoying this" said Kylie, a small smile on her own lips.
"More than you think" Meredith let out a small chuckle at Kylie's frown "so, who are you hiding from?"
"Er… no one?!" said Kylie uncertainly, which made Meredith look around, her eyes landing on Rose, the smile on her face dropped, and she looked back at Kylie
"Come on, I'll cover you"
They waited for Rose to turn around for Kylie to rise up, then she and Meredith walked down the corridor together, appearing to be engaged in a very interesting conversation and Kylie couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
At the nurses' station, a certain nurse frowned seeing Meredith and Kylie laughing and talking.
Xxxxxxxxxx
"Uncle Mark" shouted Kylie, finally spotting him at the nurses' station flirting with some nurses, however at hearing his name he spun around not sparing them a second glance.
"Kylie my dear" he said, a huge grin fixed perfectly on his face.
She came to a halt in front of him, wearing a very annoyed expression "Seriously! The dear thing is freaking me out, so knock it off"
"Ok, so what's new?" he asked as he and Kylie started walking together.
"Well, he told her, so we should start" said Kylie, keeping her head up for any sign of Rose.
"You know, I don't even know what we're going to do" Mark told her.
Finally spotting Rose in the middle of a hallway, leaning on a wall and drinking some coffee, Kylie picked up her pace and said "just work with me here"
When Kylie was sure Rose was within earshot, she started "how do you think Rose will do on the test?"
"What test?!" asked Mark, quite bewildered
"You know, the family names test" she replied in a loud voice, appearing to not notice the people staring around her.
"Ah yes, the test" said Mark catching up "I don't know, I mean I've been his best friend for years and I still forget some of the names, there are just so many of you"
"I know, they are my family and I still haven't memorized them" Kylie leaned on a wall a bit far from Rose, but close enough for her to hear what they were saying.
"Don't let Derek hear you saying that, remember how he flipped when Addison mixed Aden with Jaden, and they were identical twins" Mark chuckled, impressed by his own wit.
"I remember, he didn't talk to her for a week, and she was his wife" Kylie held a serious and amazed tone in her voice, that she was not familiar to, specially the seriousness.
Kylie straightened up "you know, I am feeling in the mood for a snack" she said casually.
"Come on, I'll buy" said Mark giving her his hand
"You are such a gentleman Uncle Mark" Kylie said sarcastically, hooking her hand with his.
As they walked past Rose, Kylie glanced at her and was very satisfied to see a freaked out expression settled on her face.
"We don't even have an Aden in our family" said Kylie once they were past the door that separated them from the previous hallway.
"Yeah well, sue me" Mark said, his own smirk mirrored in Kylie's face.
Disappointed? Or was it ok? Please tell me what you thought by reviewing.
