Ally Forbes Montgomery Shepherd stood in front of her mirror in her en suite as she shook out her long dirty blonde curls, wearing her cute faded skinny jeans, plain white tee and her long Red Cardigan with her scarf she pulled on her Ugg Boots to finish her cute winter look. With her golden tanned skin, toned body and tall frame there was no doubt that she was a heartbreaker and being the daughter of Addison Forbes Montgomery and Derrick Shepherd there was no way that she wouldn't be. Ally was the envy of all teenage girls and a parents dream she excelled in her dance being an amazing ballet and jazz dancer and she got straight A's in her grade 9 class, Ally was also popular amongst all her pairs no body would mess with and her and she was class president . Ally stared at her light blue suitcase with her name in gemstones on the top lid she put her blanket which she called her cuddly on top although at 14 she knew she may have been too old for it. But after her parents divorced and she moved to Los Angeles with her mother it was the only thing that made her feel like her Mom and Dad were both with her. After grabbing her Suitcase, Duffel Bag and Black Berken handbag she headed downstairs. Her Mom was sitting on the couch flicking through some paper work.

"Hey Baby bear you almost ready to go?"

her mom said to her when she noticed her standing at the bottom of the stairs, calling her the nickname she had been given since she was a baby by both her Mom and Dad.

"Yeah can I grab a muffin please before we head off"

"Sure but be quick James is waiting for us, and I have already delayed him 1 hour so I could finish looking at this case file Sweetheart"

Being the daughter of a world class Neonatal surgeon and a world class Neurologist Ally was used to waiting around for her parents. Ally started pulling bits off her muffin as she walked around the room eating while her mom wrote down the last sentence on the case she was working on.

"Right lets get out of here Al's Bells"

her mom said to her with a grin.

"Mm Kay Mom".

Ally walked up to their Labrador of ten years named Holly she was a golden Labrador and loved Ally to death Ally hated leaving her.

"Bye my wee Holly dog, I love you to the stars and back"

Ally said as she patted the beloved dog who always seems to look as of she is smiling right back at you.

"Ally"

Addison called for her, Ally got up gave one final pat to the dog and grabbed her gear. Addison and Ally grabbed their gear and headed towards their car popping their gear in the boot of Addison's S Class Mercedes Benz.

"I'm going to miss Holly , the beach, the surf, our LA Family so much"

Ally said to Addison as they placed their gear in the car.

"I know me too baby"

"I hate leaving Holly, she always misses me so much, and then when I come back she makes me feel guilty for like three days"

they headed off to the airport to board their plane.

"Finally"

James says as Ally hops out of the car and gives him a hug

"Your are never late when I fly you Al"

"I know blame my Mom"

Addison laughs as she follows her daughter up the stairs onto the plane.

"Your bringing your Mom this time to visit your dad in Seattle"

James asked Ally

"Yeah well its Christmas and I want to be with all my Family Daddy, Mommy, Mere, Uncle Archer, Auntie Amy, my Grandparents"

Addison smiled at her daughter although she was spending 2 weeks with her ex-husbands new wife Meredith, Ally loved her Step-mom so she decided years ago to make nice with the woman. The planes jets roared as they took off to Seattle, on the couch inside the plane Ally leant against her Mom and lay her head into her chest Addison stroked her daughter's wavy curls Ally was the first to break the silence between them,

"Mom?"

"Yeah Honey"

"I got an A+ on my Biology paper"

"Well done Baby, you will have to tell daddy when we get to his house. Are you excited to see Dad again"

"Yeah definitely and Mere"

Mere was Ally's special name for Meredith she had called her that for as long as she could remember. Suddenly Ally's phone went off playing the song California girls which made Addison wish that she was back in LA

"Hey its Ally"

Ally said answering the phone Ally suddenly got up from lying on her Mom's knee when she realised who it was and entered the Bedroom

"Hey I'm so glad you called, how are you?"

"I'm good I cant believe you are going to be away for a whole month this trip"

"yeah I know I'm going to miss you so much, but my Mom is going to be leaving after 2 weeks and my Dad is always working so we will be free to skype then without getting caught"

"2 weeks Ally"

"I know Brooklyn, Hey I better go I miss you and I love you"

she said to her boyfriend of almost 5 months

"I love you too, Bye"

Ally hung up the phone call and blushed she hadn't told her Mom about this she loved her Mom and told her pretty much everything but considering how many teenage pregnancies that her Mom deals with she decided to shield the details from her for now. Picking up the phone she rang up her best friend Tillie she needed a cover for her previous chat

"Tills hey Brooklyn just called me on the plane with Mommy so I am calling you as a cover up because Mom doesn't know play along"

"You so owe Me Miss Ally Rose Carson Forbes Montgomery Shepherd"

Tillie said down the phone loudly

"I know your size 6 for shoes" Tillie smiled Ally walked back into the main part of the plane her Mom looked up at her

"Okay Tills I love you and I will call you later girl Kay, Bye"

"Sorry about that Mom just Tills"

"Secret Best friend conversation is that why you left the room"

"yeah, that's what you call it"

Ally smiled as she grabbed herself a water. The plane landed 3 hours later in the city that never stops raining Seattle Addison and her daughter walked down the stairs of the plane and jumped into the town car.

"So Ally do you want to head straight to your Dad's or do some shopping?"

Ally would never usually turn down the chance to shop but she did today

"Can we just go straight to Dad's please, I'm really tired Mom"

"Of course, are you okay baby bear"

"Yeah I'm just tired sorry"

"Don't be sorry Honey"

Addison said to her daughter although she decided to dismiss it for now it was obvious something was wrong with Ally she had been saying she was tired for weeks, but every time Addison brought it up Ally would tell her she was fine.

Should I continue, I know it Cheesy!
