What am I meant do to with you three! You all said that you didn't want to be treated different just because of who your parents are, yet you were just out there acting like 3 year olds!!" Richard stated with his voice getting louder.

Richard turned around to look at them. "I think that you all have some explaining to do, don't you?" his voice was still loud but now displayed a hint of disappointment that they had hidden the truth from him.

The 3 just stood there, the two youngest looking down at the floor not knowing what to say or where they should start the tale of what had just happened down stairs. Mark being the eldest, and the one who normally spoke first when they younger and being reprimanded, decided not to break a habit of a life time and spoke up first.

"What do you want to know? Why my 'best' friend punched me? Or why I'm here?" he snapped at Richard, thinking that the answers would have already been given to him to by Alex, and in annoyance that he was being treated like a small child.

"Yes, in time, but I want to know what Alex meant by 'to be honest who hasn't slept with her?' anyone care to elaborate on that one?" the equally sharp reply came.

Meredith sank on to the black leather chair nearest to where she was standing, she couldn't believe that Alex would say that about her!

Alex shrunk on the spot wanting nothing more than to become invisible, or to disappear so that he wouldn't have to deal with the looks he was getting.

Mark couldn't believe what he had just heard. He couldn't believe that his brother would say something like that about their sister! He couldn't believe that he sister was sleeping around and had a reputation like that! And he couldn't believe that Richard was trying to turn themselves against each other to find out what had happened.

But once a big brother always a big brother.

"Meredith… What did Lex mean?" Mark questioned in a quiet but firm voice "And don't even think of saying you don't know!"

"Derek.." she started in a quite voice that could hardly be heard but was cut off.

"Derek what? What did he do to you?" Mark butted in but the look that Richard gave him said ' back off, let her tell us, and I will sort it out later'

"When I met him we, we slept together, I didn't know he was married! I didn't know till his wife showed up!" she sobbed.

"Go on" Richard prodded.

"We, we were together till then, and when, he, he left me, George, he came into my room, to talk, but, I slept with him too!" she was breaking her heart now, just like when she was younger, but she kept going "There were some one night stands too! I don't even know their names. I'm sorry! I don't know why I did it!"

Richard walked to her and pulled her up then sat down pulling her on to his lap, and started to make shhhing noises to calm her.

"shhhhh, I'll sort it all out, daddy will sort it baby." he kept talking to her in a calm voice that soothed her till she fell asleep.

While Richard was calming her down, Mark had gone over to Alex. Speaking in a deadly whisper.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me that he was doing this to her! And what the hell did he do to break her like that?"

"He told her that she was the one. She told me that she thought he was the one. But then he picked Addison." Alex admitted to his older brother.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were in New York! What could you have done?"

"Don't take that tone with me! You just wanted the chance to play big brother! What did you think that you could do? Get Derek in a wrestling ring, so you could beat the crap out of him!"

Mark's voice had gotten so loud that Richard's head snapped up.

"Marcus, calm down! Alex come over here and look after Meredith, I think that there is someone that Mark and I better have a chat with!"

Richard carefully stood up and passed Meredith to his youngest son who sat down in the chair.

"What are you going to do?" Alex asked cautious of how loud he spoke so as not to disturb his baby sister.

"I told you, we're going for a little chat." Richard stated again as he walked out the room with Mark following after gazing at his little sister who looked so peaceful in her sleep.

The walk to Derek's office was quiet, but just before they reached the door Richard stopped and turned to Mark.

"Don't lose your temper in there, you are only here because I want it quite in my office so she can sleep! I don't care what you say, but there is be no violence! And what I say goes! Got it?"

Mark nodded, he might not be able to hit the man that had hurt his sister but he knew that he would make sure Derek never even looked at her again.

With that they walked in to the office.
