Chapter 1: I Assume They Are Yours

When she came to Seattle, she didn't want to see him. She wanted to hand over the two important things to him, and leave. So she did. She strutted into his secretary's office, placed down the envelope, and then placed down the carrier. "These belong to Dr. Shepherd," she said, and then she left.

The secretary, appalled, didn't know what to do so she paged Dr. Shepherd. When he stepped into her office, his secretary calmly said, "a red headed lady dropped these off for you, I assume they are yours." She handed him the envelope and the carrier, which Dr. Shepherd soon realized contained a small infant, clad in pink. Obviously surprised, Dr. Shepherd placed the infant down and opened up the envelope, knowing it had to be from her, as she was only red head he knew.

The first thing that came out of the envelope was divorce papers, which he placed down. They weren't surprising, as he was expecting them eventually. He reached in and pulled out a lined piece of paper, and unfolded it revealing the scribbled message on it.

Went to Europe with Mark, sign the papers & send them back. By the way, she is yours. –Addy

Derek looked at the baby quizzically. By the way, she is yours. The baby looked to be about three months old, and he had left New York almost a year ago. So it was most likely his and she had left him to care for a small infant all alone while she was traveling with Mark. Derek looked at the baby, then at the papers. "Cancel the rest of my surgeries for today, and tell the chief I have a family emergency to take care of so I am taking the rest of the day off," he told his secretary as he picked up the carrier and papers.

His secretary obeyed him and made the call to Dr. Webber, as Dr. Shepherd got ready to leave the hospital and go home with his daughter that he never knew he had until today.
