Chapter 7!
Meredith walked over to the door and opened it. "Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Sloan, Dr. Montgomery Shepherd" said Meredith has she let them in. "It`s just Montgomery now" said Addison. "Oh" said Meredith. "Uh everyone is in the Kitchen" Meredith started walked towards the stairs. "LUKE DINNER!" screamed Meredith up the stairs. You heard a door open at the top of the stairs then slam. By now Derek, Addison, Mark, Christina, Alex, George, and Owen were in the living room. Luke walked into the living room and heard the music. "Why is the troll`s music playing?" asked Luke. Kate walked into the room. "You're calling me the troll now!" yelled Kate. "Is there anything nicer to call you?" asked Luke. "You are asking to die Luke" said Kate. She took a step closer to him.
Kate noticed the fashion magazine she had left on the couch. She walked over grabbed it and rolled it up. "What you got there troll?" asked Luke. Kate smiled at him. "What I am going to kill you with!" Kate said happily. Kate hopped over the couch and chased Luke out of the living room and upstairs. Meredith walked into the living room. "Where did my kids go?" everyone pointed towards the stairs. "I better go check on them if they threatened to kill each other they mean it" said Meredith. "I will help to" said Derek putting his drink down. "No, no it`s okay" said Meredith. "No no I am glad to help!" said Derek walking up the stairs behind Meredith. When Meredith got to the top of the stairs right before she opened Luke`s door Derek grabbed her arm and pulled her into her old room.
"When are we going to talk about the kids Meredith" asked Derek. "After dinner Derek Not while all these people are here" said Meredith. "Meredith I love you" said Derek. "What I have to go… you know before… the kids kill each other…bye" said Meredith leaving the room. Derek ran his hands through his hair. He kicked the bed and sat down on it. He knew Meredith would put up a fight. He just had to be patient. He got up and walked downstairs. When he came down he found everyone in the dining room ready to eat. He saw that Meredith separated the kids. And she was seated at the end of the table. He sat next to mark and across from Alex. Izzie came out of the kitchen and put the chicken on the table.
"Well everyone dig in I just have to get the rolls out of the oven Meredith can you help me with that please" asked Izzie. "Sure" said Meredith. Meredith got up and went into the kitchen. Izzie shut the kitchen door then turned to face Meredith."Why didn't you tell me that they were coming to dinner?" asked Izzie. "Derek was the guest I was talking about. I didn't know he was going to bring mark and Addison" said Meredith. Meredith got the rolls out of the oven and put them on a plate. "I tried to tell you Iz but you got stuck on me not drinking for 14 years and me not getting laid!" said Meredith. Izzie shrugged "Well it's okay at least he doesn't know the kids are his" laughed Izzie watching Meredith.
Meredith didn't laugh along and avoided eye contact with Izzie. "Oh my god he knows!" yelled Izzie. "Shhh… keep your voice down Iz" said Meredith. "And yes he knows he figured it out by looking at Luke" Izzies mouth was wide open now. "Oh my God are you going to tell the kids because if you are I will not be around for all the screaming and yelling" said Izzie. "No we are not going to tell the kids after dinner tonight Derek and I are going to talk and that's it I promise you" said Meredith. "Now let's get out there and eat that delicious meal you cooked for us." Meredith grabbed the rolls and opened the kitchen door. She put the rolls on the table and sat down. The table was quiet for awhile. "So…just want to say this is kind of awkward just sitting here and not talking." Said Kaitlin.
"You know what is awkward Kate you playing softball." Said Luke "That's an hour and half of my life I will never get back" There aunt`s and uncle`s hide their faces to laugh. "Just because I am really good at it does not mean you get to make fun of me water boy!" yelled Kate. Luke smiled at her "That's right I was the water boy for an all girls softball team and I had fun" Kate glared at him "The only reason you had fun is because you made out with half of the team. I was embarrassed when the coach caught you and Lucy Sanders behind the shed" said Kate. Luke shrugged "The coach could have joined in if she wanted too you know I had no problem…" but he was cut off by Meredith warning him "Luke…" Luke looked at his mother. "What?"
"Luke my coach is our math teacher! I can never look at Mrs. Smith the same way again" said Kate pushing her food towards the center of the table. "I feel like I am going to be sick just thinking about it" Said Kate looking disgusted. Luke shrugged "I enjoy thinking about it our math teacher is hot!" said Luke. Kate closed her eyes "Please just stop talking before I climb over this table and rip your vocal cords out!" At the end of the table Mark leaned over to whisper into Derek ear. "The kid is nothing like you Derek he chases after nurses, girls, and his teachers, he sound like me" said Mark. Derek rolls his eyes and whispers to mark "yes but at his age you were nothing like that" said Derek.
Mark rolled his eyes "Whatever" he whispered to Derek. Back at Meredith`s side of the table the kids were still going after each other. "At least I have good grades!" said Kate "At least I have a date to the next Dance!" said Luke. Kate chuckled "Who Sandy Jennings? She is such a whor…" Kate didn't finish her sentence because her mother stopped her "Kate watch the language…" warned Meredith. "I was going to say horse not what you thought but anyway she is a horse!" Luke glared at Kate. "She is not right mom!" yelled Luke. "Luke keep your voice down and sadly honey I agree with your sister and I am finishing the sentence here by saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!" said Meredith taking another bite of her chicken.
The rest of the dinner went in silence. After dinner everyone went back into the living room to chat a bit. The first people to leave were Christina and Owen. Then George and Lexie (Lexie showed up while Meredith and Izzie were talking in the Kitchen) then last to leave was Mark and Addison. Izzie and Alex went to bed and so did the kids. The only two left were Derek and Meredith. "So…" said Derek. "So…" said Meredith. "Why don't we start this talk off by asking why you kept my kids from me?" asked Derek. Meredith looked at her feet then back at him with tears forming in her eyes. "You had just chosen Addison. I was already a home wrecker when she showed up the first time and I didn't want to put you both through that experience again so I left" said Meredith.
"So you thought that it was right to keep them away for 14 years!" said Derek. Meredith shook her head "I was going to let you meet them I was but things came up. I was a 4th year resident I couldn't just take a vacation and come see you. What was I going to say "Hey! How are you? These are your kids!" said Meredith. "I missed a lot of things in their childhood Mer I would have been there for them. Did you think I would have been a horrible father?" Meredith looked up from the ground and shook her head "No I didn't think that at all I just thought you weren't ready for it! You had just gotten back together with Addison. I thought you would had started a family with her!" Derek shook his head "I made a mistake choosing Addison I wish I had choose you but I had to give my marriage a try!"
Meredith looked at the clock. "I am sorry you missed your childrens childhood Derek I really am. You would have been a great father" said Meredith getting up off the couch. "Well its 11 o`clock I got to get to bed I have an early surgery tomorrow and a flight back to Boston tomorrow night." Derek got up off the couch "What you can`t go back I just found out I had kids I can still be there for them. Their childhood isn't over yet!" said Derek. He was on the verge of crying. He couldn't let her go back. "I will think about it tomorrow Derek but for now goodnight" she said walking into the hallway and opening up the front door for him. Her grabbed his coat and put it on and just before leaving he grabbed Meredith and kissed her on the mouth. When they broke away from the passionate kiss he grabbed the door and left. She stood there watching him leave with her fingers on her lips. She smiled to herself and turned off the living room light.
She walked up the stairs and checked on the kids. She walked into her old bedroom and saw that Izzie kept it just like she left it. She climbed into bed closed her eyes. She didn't want to think about anything. She wouldn't let her worries and troubles keep her from a good night`s sleep. All through the night she just couldn't keep one thing off her mind though. Derek.
