It was the following day at Grandma Sheppard house Derek deeply asleep when the mobile phone rang. In which he tried to ignore but it was persistent so he pick it up.
"Sheppard speaking" Derek said tiredly over the mobile.
"Derek." Meredith greeted over the phone.
"Hey." Derek said as he was more awake now then before.
"I've read your letter." Meredith said nervously
"Yeah, sorry that I didn't tell you about my daughter." Derek apologise
"Derek I don't do kids and I can't be a mother I probable stuff her up bad." Meredith ramble out nervously
"Wow, calm down Mer I'm not asking you to be her mother and not asking you to look after and you can just be a friend for if you want. We can do this as slowly you want." Derek stated softly
"Derek I need to think about this." Meredith said quietly
"Okay. We'll talk about this when I get back." Derek stated "Love you Meredith."
"Okay see you when get back Derek." Meredith said as she hangs up the phone. Meredith and Derek laid back starring at the stealing and thinking about each other even they are both separated in different states.
"Meredith you are going to be late!!" Izzie called out before she ran out of the door to head to the hospital.
"It's one of those days." Meredith muttered to herself as she got up to get change to clothes to go to work.
Meanwhile back with Derek he was still in bed he was just laying their where his daughter Alaska came bounding into the room with full energy that in which show her full ADHD.
"Hey Daddy." Alaska greeted happily
"Good morning princess, I gather you haven't taken your tablet yet." Derek greeted his daughter.
"Well no, I have to have my breakfast first and Grandma send me up here to get your for breakfast." Alaska stated "So come on dad."
"Okay, I'm getting up." Derek groaned as he got up from bed and headed down to the stairs with Alaska.
"Good morning Mum." Derek greeted his mother.
"Morning Derek your up late." Grandma Sheppard stated
"Well I was talking to Meredith." Derek said quietly
"Oh, when am I meeting her Derek." Grandma Sheppard asked
"Well she doesn't do families, mum." Derek answered as he was trying to avoid it.
"Why is that dear?" She asked
"She hasn't have an great family background so she doesn't know how act around family." Derek said as tries to defend his girlfriend. "And that she is still kind of pissed at me at the moment not telling about Alaska."
"Well I can see her point Derek, if you are still a kid by now I would have grounded you and then again I still can." Grandma Sheppard stated
"But Mum." Derek whined
"I think you need to mowed the lawn and take out the garbage." She ordered. "Now off you go and while spend more time grand daughter."
"Fine." Derek groaned as he went to take out the garbage and to get change into clothes to mow the lawn. For the next two hours Derek mowed the lawn while Alaska spend time with her grandmother but it was nearly time for Derek and Alaska head back to New York. Derek and Alaska went up to their rooms to pack their belongings and get ready to say goodbye to his mother.
"While mum we are off." Derek said
"You will call more often then before and promise you will come up for thanksgiving and Christmas with Alaska and your girlfriend." Grandma Sheppard ordered
"Yeah of course mum if I get time off." Derek answered
"You better." She stated
"I'll try my best." Derek muttered
"Grandma it be great meeting you and I hope I'll see you soon again." Alaska said
"Call me whenever you need me." Grandma Sheppard said happily as she gave her an hugged.
"Mum we need to head off now." Derek said as he quickly gave his mother an hug.
"Okay sweetie, do have a safe drive and don't let sun be in your eyes to much." Grandma said worriedly
"Of course mum." Derek said as he rolled his eyes.
"Don't you dare rolled your eyes at me, Derek." Grandma Sheppard said
"Of course not mum, I wouldn't dare." Derek said cheekily
"I will miss my son and you Alaska." Grandma said with a few tears in her eyes.
"I'll miss you to mum." Derek said "While we are off." With that Derek and Alaska driven off on two hour drive back to New York.
"I like Grandma." Alaska stated
"She loves you too." Derek answered; the car wide back was silent and uneventful. Now they where back in New York in brownstone in Manhattan and they where getting ready to have dinner.
"So dad when is our flight tomorrow?" Alaska asked
"10am in the morning." Derek answered.
"Are you sure you are going to be up by then after all you are getting old." Alaska asked cheekily
"I'm not that old, I'm only 36 years old." Derek answered
"Yeah that's old." Alaska stated
"Aw off to be bed for you then." Derek said
"Alright then, goodnight dad." Alaska said as she gave Derek a kiss on his cheek and a quick hugged before she bounded up the stairs leaving Derek do the clean up in the kitchen. Rest of the night Derek clean the kitchen and pack his bag and Alaska bags for tomorrow to head back to Seattle.
