A/N-I'm super glad that you all like this story. Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, but I've just been busy. Hope you enjoy!
Getting off the plane Ryan knew that Meredith and Derek would most likely be at the hospital. So, that's where she decided to go. Normally she would have gotten her bags at baggage claim, but hopping a plane was at last minute so all she had were the clothes on her back and what little money she had in her pocket.
Ryan grabs a ride from a taxi and makes her trip to Seattle Grace Hospital.
Walking into the hospital gives a different feeling for Ryan because she was used to walking through Oceanside Wellness Group her whole life, so walking through a huge hospital was different.
Walking further into the hospital by the doorway was a seat of chairs where she saw her, Meredith. Out of the corner of her eye she sees Derek walking over to Meredith, so Ryan starts walking towards them.
"So, are you ready to go home?" Meredith stands up and nods her head.
"Yeah, I-," Meredith stops what she is doing and looks behind Derek. She couldn't believe who was standing behind him.
Derek turns around and is also in shock.
"Ryan?" they both whisper.
Derek looks at Meredith and she does the same.
"How do you know her?" they both say at the same time.
Ryan rolls her eyes and steps forward.
"Who would've thought that Derek Shepherd would wind up with his ex wife's ex fiancé and my mother."
Both Meredith and Derek look at each other and then back at Ryan.
"What are you doing here?" Derek asks softly.
"Come on Derek. I look in the paper and I find some news and you didn't tell me."
Meredith just looks at Ryan with surprise. She steps forward and puts her hand on her cheek.
"I can't believe you are really here. I haven't seen you since…"
"I know since I was like 5 and you since I was like 10," Ryan says sharply.
Meredith moves her hand away and steps back.
"Is your mother here?" Derek asks.
Ryan looks away and avoids the question.
"Ryan?" Meredith questions hopeful to see Addison again.
Ryan shakes her head.
"No, she doesn't know."
"Come on Ry, we'll take you to ours and one of us will call your mom. You do know you are dead when she finds out right?" Derek questions.
Ryan groans and nods her head.
"Yeah, I do."
Meredith turns to Derek and snaps out of her reverie.
"How do you know Addison?"
Derek sighs and Ryan answers the question for him.
"It's a long story, but I'm kind of tired so if you wouldn't mind. I would just like to crash."
"I'll go bring up the car," Derek says before walking away.
"Come on Ryan."
"She misses you," Ryan whispers before walking away.
"Addie," Meredith whispers to herself.
Addison paces back and forth in her house waiting for anything to happen. She had tears in her eyes and she had Naomi and Sam and Mia searching outside for Ryan.
"Where the hell is she?"
A knock on the door makes Addison rush towards it. She opens it to see Dell standing there looking scared.
"Dell, I don't really have time for this."
"I know where she is or at least I think."
Addison grabs Dell's arm a little harder than necessary and drags him into the house. She pushes him towards her couch.
"Do you want to tell me where the hell my daughter is?"
"She asked me to um, to um, bring her to the airport."
Addison starts laughing and Dell looks at her funny.
"You took her to the airport. You took my 15 year old daughter to the airport. What the hell were you thinking?"
"She begged. I didn't know what else to do."
"How about NO?"
Dell shrugs his shoulders. Addison sighs and sits down on the couch next to Dell.
"Where the hell did she go?"
Derek, Meredith and Ryan enter the Grey household and Derek heads upstairs right away leaving Meredith alone with Ryan who has taken residence on her couch. Meredith approaches Ryan carefully.
"So, um…how are you doing?"
Ryan freezes at the question and glares at Meredith. The kindness act quickly disappearing.
"I don't think you have a right to answer that question anymore Meredith."
Meredith flinches when Ryan spoke her name. It never used to be like that. She thinks.
"Ryan, there were a lot of—"
"Save it! I don't want to hear it okay? I don't know why I came here in the first place, but it might have something to do with seeing my mother sad for the last 10 years. You just left." Ryan stands up from the couch and walks closer to Meredith. "No word, no note, no nothing. You left Addison and your 5 year old daughter alone. Don't stand there and act like you did nothing wrong because you did." Ryan wipes away her tears and sits back down on the couch to calm down. Meredith turns around and makes her way upstairs to see Derek on the phone.
Addison wipes away her tears when she hears her phone ring.
"Ryan is that you?"
"Addison, its Derek."
"Derek, I can't talk right now. This line has to stay open."
"Ryan's here in Seattle."
Addison releases a breath.
"She's there? Is she okay?"
"Yeah apparently she holds a grudge and you never told me the truth about Ryan."
"Derek I can't get into that right now. Is she okay to stay with you until I get there?"
"Of course I missed her."
"I trust you Derek. You were always a good father to her. I'm going to handle things before I come out."
"We have to talk don't we?"
"I owe you that much. Bye."
Addison hangs up the phone and looks at Dell.
"I need to pack a bag and then you are driving me to the airport."
Dell watches as Addison walks upstairs.
"Women," Dell says as he shakes his head.
