Author's Note: I have had this idea for awhile, if you are wondering why I those to write about this diagnosis in Grey's is cause when I was about 2 years old the same thing happened to me. And I thought that it would make a good story.

Derek and Meredith were spooned up together, asleep. When the bed side clock turned to 4 am and started sounding off.

"mmmhhh" Meredith moaned, showing her distaste in the hour. "Ellie just went back to sleep two hours ago."

"That's why I suggested that I get up with her tonight since, I have today off."

"Oh don't remind me" she said giving him a quick kiss then getting up and into the shower. About a half hour later Meredith was out of the bathroom dressed and ready for her shift. Derek was already downstairs waiting for her with coffee. He knew her too well.

"Are you sure you'll be okay" Meredith asked has she was putting on her coat.

"We'll be fine, father-daughter time, I know she won't remember it at two, but I will" he said smiling at her. He gave her one last kiss before she left.

Smiling up at him, "have fun," she said before leaving.

Derek went upstairs and got ready himself, before going down to the kitchen drinking his coffee and reading the paper. About an hour later he heard his daughter's little voice over the body monitor. Derek put down the paper and went upstairs to Ellie's room. Ellie was sitting in her crib, talking to herself until she heard her bedroom door open, then she stood up against the rail.

"There's my little Ellie" Derek said as he walked up to the side of the crib.

"Dada"

Derek put his hand on the top of her head and then moved his hand to the back of her head and stopped. His expression changed from happy and smiling to serious.

"Up dada"

Derek made a small smile then picked her up. He held her to him examing the small bump that was on the right side at the base of her head. He took a deep breath and pulled her away and looked at her. She looked fine, like nothing is wrong, but that bump was anything, but normal. "You want to go see Mommy"

"Yeah go see Momma"

Derek smiled and then got her dress and was in the car in 20 minutes. As Derek drove Ellie was in the backseat talking to herself. On the way, all he was thinking is what tests that needed to be run. First he wanted a CT scan then maybe an MRI, but before he could even start a CT scan, she would have to be sedated. A two year old would not hold still for the time that it would take to do the test. When they got on the ferry, Derek took Ellie out of the car and went upstairs to sit down. When they sat down, he pulled out his phone he needed to tell Meredith. The line rang about five or six times when it went to her voicemail. "Meredith, you're probably on morning rounds but Ellie and I are on our way to the hospital. We should be there in about 30 minutes". He took a breath "Ellie has a small bump on the back of her head. But she is acting like her usual self. We'll be there soon. I love you." He looked down at his daughter, who was sitting in his lap. "Let's call the hospital"

"Momma hospital"

"Yeah Momma's working at the hospital" He said as he dialed.

"Seattle Grace Hospital, how may I direct your call?"

"Hi this is Dr. Derek Shepherd, can you transfer me to the surgical floor."

"Yes, Doctor"

Derek waited as the phone rang and rang. Why wasn't anyone answering he wondered.

Dr. Bailey was standing at the nurses' station, but no one was around, everyone was busy in other things and no one was answering the phone. She couldn't listen to a ringing phone. "Seattle Grace surgical floor, this is Dr. Bailey."

"Miranda, this is Derek. Is Meredith around anywhere?"

"Derek…oh she is on rounds right now."

"I know, but there is something wrong with Ellie and we are on the way to there now."

"Oh goodness she…"

Meredith was coming out of one of her patient's room. "Stacy, Nick make sure you are doing his neuro checks every hour, and if anything changes let me know."
