Greys Anatomy: This first chapter will be set awhile ago, I will say how old they are and such, but please enjoy. Reviews are most welcome.

"Zonie. Zonie. Zonie". Whispered someone to my left. I mumbled half asleep and rolled over and laid on my stomach. But the voice persisted.

"Zonieeee". Whispered the voice, but this time louder, but whimpering also slightly. I opened one eye and turned my head to the side to see my little sister standing there with her bunny rabbit hanging from one hand.

"What's up Merry?". I asked, staring at my little sister.

"They're fighting again". Sniffled Merry. I moved over more to one side, lifted my doona and patted the spot I had just left. Merry quickly scampered into the free space and curled into my side. I placed the blanket over the both of us and wrapped my arms around my little sister.

"Thank you Zonie; I wuv you". Whispered Merry.

"I love you too Merry; time to sleep. We have to wake up early tomorrow". I whispered as I kissed my little sisters head. Merry snuggled into my embrace and sighed. When mum and dad fight, Merry always ends up in my bed. I don't know what it is, but I think it's because she feels safe in my arms, or maybe because my beds comfier then hers. There's one bad thing about having my little sister sleep in the same bed as me, she snores. Laying there holding my little sister, I wished and hoped for her to not turn out like mum. I love mum, I really do, but she shouldn't be our mum, she can barely look after herself. Let alone us. Merry is still so young, she deserves someone other than her older sister to look after her. I don't know why, but for some reason, I'm glad mum isn't home so often because when she is, she always locks herself up in her office and we always have to be quiet. I sighed, it sucks.

"Zonie?". Whispered Merry as she broke me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?". I replied.

"Think quietly, go to sleep Zonie". Mumbled Merry. I laughed quietly. She always knew me better than what I knew myself.

" Sorry Merry, I'll sleep now, I promise". I whispered as I kissed her head again as she snuggled in further down in my arms. A few minutes later, I heard her breathing evening out, which meant she was asleep. I soon to fell asleep, listening to my little sister breathing, feeling glad that she was safe and sound in my arms and nothing was going to change that.

"MEREDITH ELIZABETH AND ARIZONA JANE! GET OUT OF BED NOW". Yelled a voice from downstairs. Meredith rolled over and almost fell of the bed, but I caught her just in time.

"Thanks Zonie". Smiled Meredith as she slipped out of my bed.

"Anytime kiddo". I laughed as we both made our way down the stairs and into the lounge room where our mum was waiting.

"Your dads already gone to work, I'm heading there now, Arizona, look after your sister". Said Mum stiffly as she left. I sighed.

"Breakfast kiddo?". I asked. Meredith nodded and followed me into the kitchen and sat down at the table whilst I made breakfast. It's Saturday morning and both mum and dad were at work? This is stupid. Meredith is only six, I myself am only 10. We still need parents. I am only 10, it's not like I'm 16 and can do everything. I mean, I can barely reach the top of the stove, let alone do anything else. One thing I wish for more than anything was for my mum to teach my how to cook, but that would never happen, she can't cook. I made Meredith and myself cereal and sat down at the table across from Merry and handed her the cereal.

"COCO PUFFS!". Giggled Meredith as she spooned some into her mouth. My little sister was so innocent, yet she's literally being brought up by me? Poor kid.

"Zonie?". Asked Meredith. I looked at her.

"Yes kiddo?". I replied.

"Eat. Stop thinking". Said Meredith as she poked her tongue out at me. I laughed lightly and ate some of my coco puffs, whilst listening to Meredith talk about her dreams. I rolled my eyes, her dreams are always so vivid.

"Dont roll them blue eyes at me". Said Meredith as she threw a coco puff at my head. I gasped and looked at her, but then laughed.

"Gee, thanks Merry. But I think I've got enough in my bowl". I replied as I spooned some cereal into my mouth. Meredith giggled and spooned some more into her mouth.

A few hours later, Meredith and I were lying on our stomachs in front of the television with our heads propped up on our hands. We were watching some kid show Meredith was determined to watch, I think it was Hannah Montana? Mum and dad were arguing in the kitchen, once again. Both saying how the other is never home enough, which is true, but neither of them are home enough. I turned the television up as they yelled louder. The fighting stopped.

"ARIZONA JANE! TURN THE TV DOWN". Yelled Dad. I didn't turn it down, for I knew in a minute they would be still yelling at each other and I was right, for not very long later, they were yelling at each other once again. A few minutes' later mum and dad walked into the lounge room, together.

"I thought I told you to turn the damn television down". Said Thatcher.

"Thatcher, do not yell at them". Replied Ellis swiftly.

"Arizona, turn it down". Said Thatcher. I turned around and glared at Dad, standing up in the process.

"No. If you two wouldn't stop fighting I wouldn't have to keep turning it up. Do you forget how old I am?". I asked as Meredith followed suite and stood up, holding my hand and standing behind me.

"Excuse me? Do not talk to us like that". Replied Thatcher.

"No, do you not understand that I am only 10? 10! I am 10 Dad, I can't everything myself because you two are NEVER HOME!". I said as I yelled the last part. I knew talking back was a mistake, and I soon learnt that as Dad's hand came in contact with the side of my face and slapped me. I gasped as I placed my hand on the side of my face, feeling the sting. Meredith gasped.

"Dad, why would you do that?". Asked Meredith. Dad turned and glared at Meredith and his hand collided with the side of Meredith's face before I had a chance to stop him. The tears began to fall from Meredith's eyes as I wrapped my arms around her. I glared at him through tears in my eyes.

"You will never touch her again. Mum, are you not going to do anything about this?". I asked as I stared at her. Just as she was about to open her mouth, her pager went off.

"I have to go to the hospital". And with that, she left, once again, soon followed by dad. We were alone, once again. I held Meredith in my arms and tried to soothe the tears, but they wouldn't stop. My face was hurting badly, I could only imagine how badly hers was hurting too.

"It's okay, I'm not going anywhere. Promise".

So as you can tell, Meredith and Arizona are sisters and Thatcher is still with them, kinda. Read and review please.
