After a long 36 hours and only 6 1/2 hours to prepare for Derek's arrival, she has to clean and make sure every thing was neat and tidy.
"Hayden and Kaia can you please come here?" Meredith asked.
"Hey mom what's up?" Hyaden wondered.
"Hey what do you need. Have you seen my Louis Vuitton bag?" Kaia wanted to know.
"Remember I told you I don't know where your dad was." said Meredith.
"Yeah" Kaia and Hayden answered together.
"Well I found him. Well I wasn't looking for him but he is my boss. Also he wants to meet you guys." said Meredith.
"No way, no I don't want to see him." exclaimed Hayden.
"Cool. Is he rich?" asked Kaia.
"Is that all you care about is money and your stupid designer bags. You are such a fashion whore." Hayden said hatefully to his sister.
"Well you're a stupid head." Replied Kaia.
"Nice come back, Geekziod" said Hayden.
"Oh it takes one to know one." Kaia said.
"ENOUGH you two. You will be civil and respectful. And yes Kaia, he has money." Meredith said angrily.
"He left you. Why are you letting him back in our lives?" Hayden said as he looked at his mother with care.
"Yeah why does he want back in our lives? It's not like I really care, though." Kaia said backing up her brother.
"He wants back in our lives because e never knew I was pregnant. We broke up right before he graduated high school and I was still a freshman. Then about a 2 months after our break up I missed my period. I went to the doctor and he told me I was pregnant. By then your father had already left for collage and I did not know how to contact him" Meredith stated.
"Fine, but I still don't want to meet him." Hayden said dryly.
"Oh okay, do I need to get dressed up or will jeans and nice shirt work." Kaia asked making sure she wouldn't be overly dressed.
"Um jeans and a nice shirt would be fine" said Meredith taken aback by her daughter's coolness with the situation and son's hostility.

Hearing the doorbell Meredith yelled to her kids. "Hayden can you get the door?" she asked.
"Sure mom." Answered Hayden, who did really want to.
As Hayden open the door he spots Derek standing in the doorway.
Derek looked at the young kid who answered the door. "Umm hi. I guess you are Hayden. Is Mer- I mean your mom- around? I'm your-"
Hayden cut him off. "I know who you are and don't even try sucking up I already don't like you." Hayden stated.
"Uhh, can I come in?" Derek asked.
"Sure whatever my mom invited you." Said Hayden.
"Mom I am going Ryan's house." Hayden yelled up to his mom.
"Oh no you're not. You are staying right here." Meredith said as she came down the stairs.
"But why?" Hayden said in a fake whiny voice.
"Why? Because that man is your father and go get Kaia for me."
"Yeah whatever." And Hayden went upstairs to find his sister.
"Ke (A/N Hayden nickname for kaia) get down our father is here." said Hayden in the most condescending voice.
"Oh okay I be down in a few." Said Kaia.

"So I never thought I would see you in a house this big" said Derek as he looked around.
"Yeah it was my mothers." Meredith said.
"How is Ellis?" Derek wanted to know.
"Umm fine she is just peachy. Well actually she has early on set Alzheimer's." said Meredith with almost no emotion.
"Ohh I am sorry." Derek said with compassion in his voice.
"It is fine." said Meredith.
"Hi I'm Kaia" said Kaia as she sat down between Derek and Meredith.
"Hi I'm Derek you can call me that or dad if you prefer." Derek said as he looked at the young girl.
"Umm I stick with Derek for now, mom where is Hayden" asked Kaia
"He is probably in his room. I will go get him. Why don't you stay and talk to your father?" Meredith suggested.
"Okay" said Kaia

As Meredith left the kitchen she heard some talking.
"So Kaia what is your favorite subject in school?" Derek asked thinking he should start slow.
"Umm well, I like history and science. Now I have a question for you. Do you love my mom" said Kaia.
"Umm I loved a long time ago and I still have feelings for her. I hope we can maybe start seeing each other again. I know I made a big mistake all those years ago and now I realized it and I am trying to make it better. Does that answer your question? So what is your favorite food?" Said Derek wanting to steer away from the topic of Meredith.
"Umm yeah it does. And like pizza. What about you?" Kaia wondered.
"I personally like Mac and cheese." Said Derek with a grin.

"Hayden can I come in?" Meredith asked as she knocked.
"Yeah whatever it is your house." Hayden replied.
"Why are you so mean to Derek?" said Meredith
"I don't want to lose you and I'm afraid that he might want to take us away." Said Hayden truthfully.
"Ohh sweetie that will never happen." Said Meredith reassuringly. "Are you okay now?" Meredith saw Hayden nod. "Why don't you came down and get to know Derek?"
"Sure" Said Hayden as he got up and found his sister and father downstairs. "Um I sorry I was mean to you." Hayden apologized.
Derek nodded and hoped his son was finally coming around. "It is okay come sit me. Your sister and I were just talking."
"Kaia can you come here I need help with the laundry." Meredith hollered from a different room.
"Oh okay mom." Kaia said and got up to find her mother.
"So Hayden what is your favorite subject in school?" said Derek. He thought it would be best to start with the same question he did with Kaia.
"Umm I like math and science. Now I have a question for you. Why did you leave my mom" Hayden wanted to know.
"Well I was graduating high school and I guess I thought I could not handle a long distance relationship. I had no idea she was pregnant. Does that answer your question? So what is your favorite food?" Said Derek again wanting to shift the conversation away from Meredith.
"Umm yeah it does answer it. And I like Mac and cheese. What about you?" Said Hayden being polite.
"I like Mac and cheese too" Said Derek with a smile.

"Thank you for letting me to get to know them" Derek said as he was getting ready to leave.
"You welcome they are half yours." Meredith reminded.
"Yeah they are" Said Derek remembering the things he has in common with his kids.
"I just wish we could have kept up our relationship" Meredith muttered.
"Umm me too." Said Derek.
"You know I never stopped loving you." Said Meredith at almost a whisper.
"Me too" Derek returned.
"Well maybe we can go on a date next time your off?" Said Derek taking a chance.
"Yeah maybe" Meredith said as she shut the door behind Derek.
