It was hard enough driving down the road in the ice and snow. But with your two most prized poessions in the back seat, it was even harder. Meredith was trying to comfort baby Elly but nothing seemed to work.
"Derek she's getting worse."
Elly was screaming at the top of her lungs now and was beginning to become exhausted.
Derek looked only at the road and just thought of his daughter suffering in the backseat and began to remember the day he pulled Meredith out from the freezing waters of the Seattle bay.
As tears began to well up in Derek's eyes he began to realize that he had to fight for his daughter and not break down, not yet.
Derek pulled into the Seattle Grace parking lot, parked in his usual spot and got out of the car as fast as he could. Meredith was carrying baby Elly who was at this point barely breathing.
The Shepherds ran into the ER and placed Elly on the bed and started a work up.
Cristina, and the chief quickly ran over to see what was going on.
"She's having trouble breathing, she's running a dangerously high fever and ..
Derek couldn't even finish his sentence when suddenly Elly began seizing.
" Yang hold her still." said the Chief
"Chief we need to get an MRI and fast". Said Derek fighting back tears.
Meredith stood at the end of Elly's bed and stared at her beautiful daughter thinking about the 100s of patients she's treated with seizures and brain problems never thinking one of them would be her very own flesh and blood.
As the seizure came to an end the Chief and Cristina began rolling Elly down to the MRI and Derek and Meredith followed.
"Derek she's our only baby" Meredith said as they looked in from outside the MRI room.
"I know Mer I know, you just have to believe that shell be ok, she's a fighter I know shell pull through this, I know she will."
Meredith moved closer to Derek and he pulled her close and let her cry, as he did to.
