Ellie was feeling a bit uneasy about her visit with the Shepherd's. She couldn't tell if they liked her or not, especially Meredith. Meredith felt familiar, but she didn't know how. It just felt as if she knew her somehow. And, she could've sworn she saw a picture of her mother in Meredith's living room. She needed to talk to her mom about this. Because there was no dad in the picture, her and her mom were very close.

"Hey Mom! I'm back! She said as she walked through the door.

"Hi Honey! How was your first day? You didn't slip up with your name?" Lexie questioned.

"No mom, I'm really getting used to saying that my name is Ellie. But I still don't understand why I have to lie about my name. And, I had a great first day. But I wanted to ask you about something." Her mom sat up, looking at her curiously.

"Ok, what about?"

"Well, remember how I told you I was going over a friends house today,but you had to get off the phone quick so I couldn't even tell you who?"

"Yes..."

"Well, as I was there, they acted kinda strange once they saw me...As if they were seeing a ghost or something."

Her mom looked up quickly when she said that.

"A ghost? Really?"

"Yes Mom. I was just wondering if you knew why...I mean I'm not that bad looking! Meredith even dropped something when she saw me. And Derek just kinda stared..."

When she heard the names Meredith and Derek, she couldnt believe her ears. This couldn't be happening, she thought, my daughter goes to a new school and she happens to go home with her sisters daghter. My own daughter's cousin!

"Sweetie, lets sit down. We need to talk." She motioned for her daughter to sit down.

"Mom your starting to freak me out...You know something abut this don't you! You need to tell me about this, because I can't go back and face those girls tomorrow if they know something that I don't..."

"Wait, you said girls? There were two?"

"Yeah, Zola and Sofia. There best friends...I guess there dad's grew up together and everything..."

Hearing Zola's name made her start crying. She missed that little girl so much. And Sofia, she was going to be that baby's stepmother! That was Lyla's sister! Lexie decided she needed to start from the beginning and tell Susan everything.

"Lyla, I need you to listen carefully to me, and pay attention. But don't ask any questions until I'm done. Okay?"

"Sure Mom."

"Well, about 16 or 17 years ago I moved here to Seattle. My mother and father lived here. My mother had just recently died suddenly, from the hiccups. I know it sounds strange, but it , I did my internship and residency here in Seattle, at Seattle Grace. There, I met my sister. She didn;t like me at first, because my father chose me. We had the same father but a different mother. And our father left her and her mother when she was only 5. But, we eventually grew very,very close. I ended up dating her boyfriends best friend. first, we were kind of secret. But after we became a couple, things were on and off for a while. I kept running because I didn't want kids. I was only 24! He wanted kids. Then, his daghter showed up pregnant,and I was like no way can i be a grandmother. That was the first time I ran. Then, he impregnated his best friend after she suffered a bad breakup. I dated a few guys after that and everything, and he dated more girls. Fast forward about a year. I decided I loved him too much to let go. I Had to tell him. I loved him. And so, I gave him this whole big speech on how I was infected with him, and that I loved him so much. He loved me too, and he started acting really weird around me. Then, things got very complicated, and I still don't understand everything.

"We were called to do a case on conjoined twins in Boise. But, we never made it there. The plane crashed. The plane that me, my sister, my sisters husband, the love of my life,the love of my lifes co-parent, and my sisters best friend. I was trapped under a huge piece of the plane. A huge piece of metal. I was dying. Mark, the love of my life was there with me. He was telling me stories about what a great life we would have together when we got resuced. He really meant those things, but he also knew I was dying. He thought I was dead. He left after I "died". He couldn't deal with it anymore. He cpuldnt see me like that. But he was so good, sitting by me in my "last moments"."

At this point, Lyla and Lexie were both crying. Lyla on how her mother almost died, and Lexie thinking of those moments with Mark.

"But, obviously I wasn't dead. I passed out. But no one checked on me after they thought i died because it was too hard for any of them. So I woke up, later. After they were rescued. I didn't have any internal injuires like they thought. It was on my legs, not my stomach. I had some bruises, and I lost blood. Thats why I passed out. But, I was able to slide out. And I found some extra granola bars in my pocket. I was able to escape. I just kept walking. It hurt, but I did it. But, I didn't remember any of it until about 1 week ago. Thats why we moved back out here. I wanted to connect back with my sister. And, you had to change your name, because I had onky remembered a few things from before the crash. I knew how to do everyday things, like going to the grocery store and brushing my teeth, but I didnt remember much about myself. there were 5 things I did remember though. i remembered that I was a doctor. I remembered that I always wanted to name my daughter Lyla. I remembered that I used to live in Boston. I remembered that I loved a man, but I didnt know who. And I remembered that my last name was Grey. You had to lie about your name, because I remembered telling Meredith about how I wanted to name my eventual kid Lyla. And between your name being Lyla, and last name Grey, and looking like me, I just wanted to be safe in case you ran into anyone. I wanted to tell them, so they could have the whole story.

"I didn't know that i was pregnant before the crash. I didn't find out until later. It frustrated me that I didn't know who your father was. But I dealt with it and raised you on my own. But, about a week ago I remembered everything. You were conceived the week before the crash. And I remembered who your father is. And he lives here.

"His name is Mark Sloan."

I hope you liked it! Sorry the whole story was all explained at once, sometimes it makes it less interesting than figuring it out over a period of time...But enjoy and keep reading!
