My Mcfamily, my Mclife

MEREDITH GREY

I was sitting in the living room with Ellis in my arms as she nursed with Bailey sitting next to me, cuddled into my side. when Ellis finished eating I laid her on the couch and fixed my clothes.

I stood up and lifted Ellis into my arms and laid her down on the bouncer. I went back to Bailey and laid him down on the other side of the couch so he could fall asleep.

I went into the kitchen and did the dishes. after I finished, there was a knock at the door. Nobody was supposed to be at the house and Derek was at work. I went over to the door and answered it. there was a woman that I had never met before.

"Hi, is Derek Shepherd here?" she asked.

I looked her up and down for a second, she kind of looked like Derek's sister Amelia.

"No, who are you?"

"Just tell him Renee came looking for him," she said before walking away and leaving.

I closed the door and picked up my phone. I called Derek and waited for him to pick up.

"Derek," I said sternly into the phone.

"Hey, baby. is everything okay?" he asked.

"No, who is Renee?"

"I don't know a Renee, why?"

"because she came looking for you," I said before hanging up the phone.

I threw the phone onto the couch before going to check on Ellis to see that she was still asleep.

thirty minutes later I heard the front door open and saw Derek walk in. I turned around to see him looking at me. he placed his things down on the floor and started walking toward me.

"who is Renee?" I asked.

"she's from D.C." he answered.

"why was she at our house and how does she know where we live?"

"I don't know, Meredith,"

"Well, you better figure out why because I don't want her here. is that why you came back home? because there was a woman you were with and didn't want anyone to find?"

"No, Meredith. I left for you and the kids, not because there was a woman,"

"So there was a woman?"

"No, I worked with her and it was a late night, she leaned in to kiss me but before she could I pushed her off, and that's when I realized that nothing good was coming from being in D.C. so I came home,"

"so it was because of a woman... she helped you," I mocked.

"Meredith,"

"if she comes here again I'm gonna buy a gun and shoot her with it... deal?"

"... deal,"

"What was she doing here anyways?" I ask.

"I don't know I haven't seen her since D.C, did she say what she wanted to talk about?"

"No,"

"then there's nothing to worry about," he says walking over to me.

"I'll go get the kids and we can get started on dinner," he smiles. he walks over to me. he places his hands on my arms and kisses me passionately. He pulls away, still smiling like an idiot before he walks away.

I roll my eyes and walk into the kitchen. I put some hot water into a hot and place it on the stove before turning the burner on.

Bailey comes running down the stairs, crying. he runs over to me and wraps his arms around my legs. "what's wrong?" I ask, Bending down and lifting him into my arms. "Daddy hit me!" he cries. I look at his cheek and see his cheek is bright red.

"why would he hit you?" I ask, feeling my blood boil. "I don't know!" he sobs into my shoulder. I put my hand on the back on his head.

"it's okay, it's okay," I whisper over and over into his ear. I kiss his head a few times. he doesn't stop crying. I walk back into our room, he's still sobbing heavily. I sit down on the bed, holding him in my lap.

"it's Okay. I won't let Daddy hurt you, I promise," I kiss his forehead repeatedly. he sits on my lap with his legs wrapped around my waist. I hold his cheek in my hand and rub my thumb over the spot that is still bight red.

"what were you doing that made daddy hit you?" I ask him softly. "it's not my fault, Mommy!" he starts sobbing harder. "I know, Sweetie. I'm not blaming you, I just want to know," I kiss his head. "he told me to come downstairs and I said that I wanted to play longer, he kept on saying 'no' over and over and when I didn't go downstairs he hit me!" he sobs.

"Okay, Okay, Okay," I say. I pull him close to me as he lays his head on my chest. he eventually falls asleep. I stand up with him carefully. I pull the covers down and lay him down on my side of the bed. I kiss his forehead before going into the bathroom.

I run a cloth under some cold water and go back to where Bailey is sleeping. I hold the cloth on his cheek and wait for the redness to go down.

I finally updated after months... If you have suggestions let me know.
