Meredith Grey was unpacking all her stuff out of boxes in her Mum's old house. She had missed this house…she had missed Seattle. A lot had changed in nine years and she was a little sad she had missed it all. Izzie and Alex were now living together and are planning to get married next year. Christina and Burke are married and Burke is now the Chief. Meredith sighed. She wished that she hadn't moved away, she now hoped that she could settle back into her old life and pretend the last nine years had never happened. She had moved to California to get away from everything that had went wrong in Seattle. The problem started with her and Derek, they had slept together at prom but he still wouldn't leave his wife. Then Meredith had found out she was pregnant with Charley and she left without saying bye to anyone. She completely regretted her choice now; she wished she could turn back the time. A tear rolled down Meredith's face and she quickly tried to rub it away. Unaware to Meredith her daughter Charley had been standing by the door for at least ten minutes. She could tell her mum was upset, she quietly tiptoed into the room. Meredith was now sitting on the bed tears streaming down her face. Charley climbed up onto the bed and snuggled into Meredith. They sat in silence while clinging to one another. Meredith's tears slowly stopped and she kissed her daughter's forehead. She was the one and only thing that she didn't regret in the past nine years.

Addison lay in bed her mind full of thoughts which was giving her a headache. She couldn't stop thinking about what had happened yesterday. Jennifer had definitely said the girls name was Charley Grey who had just moved from California. It had to be Meredith's daughter; it was too much of a coincidence otherwise. She couldn't tell Derek about it, she couldn't live through the pain again. If Derek knew about Meredith being back, she couldn't guarantee that he would stay with her. She rolled over to face Derek who was sound asleep, snoring lightly. She smiled; everything had been going great recently with her and Derek. Why now did Meredith have to screw it up again! She made a decision. She was going to get Jennifer to invite over Charley for dinner and she would find out what the hell was going on. She closed her eyes trying to get back to sleep; everything was going to be fine.

The next day at three o'clock Addison stood outside Jennifer's school waiting to take her home. It was a cold day and the wind was blowing in Addison's face making her teeth chatter. She shoved her hands in her pockets and tried to see if Jennifer was coming. Five minutes later, Jennifer Shepherd came running out of school with her long red hair blowing everywhere in the wind. Addison smiled, she still couldn't believe how much Jennifer looked like her when she was little. Jennifer had spotted her mum and she came running towards her hands open for a hug. Addison greeted her and then quickly asked,

"So where's your friend Charley?"

"Erm..I think she's just coming!"

Jennifer had a smile from ear to ear on her face. Charley was coming to her house and they were going to play with all her toys and Charley was going to meet her mum and dad.

Addison saw a little girl walking towards her and she knew right away that it was Charley. She was a mini Meredith. She was tiny with lots of long brown wavy hair. She had huge big blue eyes and the most adorable smile. She came right up to Addison,

"Hey! I'm Charley Grey, are you Jennifer's Mum?"

Addison nodded slowly. She was Meredith's daughter without a doubt but the only problem was that it was not only Meredith who Charley resembled.
