Early Thursday morning, Amelia meets Addison, Harper, and Harvey at the airport in the gate they were departing from. When Amelia walks over to them, she hugs Addison and then hugs Harper and Harvey.

"Okay so I bought the plane tickets but the most you can seat in a row is three so I got two in one row and two in the row behind." Addison explained

Amelia nodded, "Okay so who's sitting where?"

"I want to sit next to mommy." Harvey said

Then Harper whined, "No fair! I want to sit next to mommy."

"No fighting, kids." Addison told them, "Harvey, you can sit next to mommy and Harper you can sit next to mommy on the flight home."

"Okay mama." Both kids replied even though you could clearly tell that Harper was a little sad

Amelia hugged Harper, "It's okay, baby. Don't be sad. I won't be far away."

Harper nodded, "I know, mommy. I just wanted to sit next to you."

Many hours later, when the flight landed at their destination, Derek is waiting a the airport to pick Amelia, Addison, and the twins up.

"Derek!" Amelia yelled as she ran and hugged him

Derek hugged her back tightly, "I missed you, Amy." Then he looked up and saw Addison, "Addison, what are you doing here?"

"It's kind of a long story." Addison told him

Derek nodded, "I'm sorry we couldn't make the long distance relationship work. I was your husband though and I should have gone with you."

"It's okay, Derek." Addison replied "It's in the past."

"Who are you?" Harper asked

Derek looked at the girl confused, "I'm Derek Shepherd. Who are you?" Derek responded

"Harper Allison Shepherd, and this is my twin, Harvey Allen Shepherd." Harper stated

Harvey waved, "Hi."

"Shepherd?" Derek questioned before looking at his sister.

Amelia nodded, "They're my kids, Derek."

"Is that why you ran away? Cause you were pregnant?" Derek asked as Amelia nodded.

"Harper, Harvey, this is your Uncle Derek." Amelia introduced

"It's nice to meet you." Harvey said to Derek

Harper smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Harvey and Harper." Derek replied. Then he looked at Addison, "What does any of this have to do with you, Addison? This seems to be a family matter."

Addison nodded, "I know. I am family. We'll explain later."

Harper looked at Addison, "Mama, I have to go to the bathroom."

"Could you hold it, sweetie? We're not very far from mommy's house." Addison asked

Harper nodded, "I think so, mama."

Derek looked at them strangely and confused as he questioned, "Mama?"

Amelia sighed, "Allow me to explain, Derek." Then she added, "I made some bad choices in the past and I went to get help, but I left my kids alone and social services took them from me. Addison's their foster mom, but she's going to adopt them with permission from me of course. I'm going to go back, finish high school, and then go to college. My kids will still see me though. Addison and I came up with an arrangement this way everyone is happy, and I can focus on my studies."

Derek nodded, "I'm proud of you, Amy. Just one question. Who's their father?"

"I'll tell you later when their are no little ears listening." Amelia told him as she noticed both Harper and Harvey look at her intently waiting to get her mention their father.

After getting in Derek's car and arriving at the Shepherd house, Derek walked in first, and Addison and Amelia followed closely behind with Harper and Harvey. Derek showed Addison and Harper where the bathroom is, while Amelia got reacquainted with her family and Harvey stood with his mommy.

Carolyn was the first to hug Amelia, "I missed you baby girl."

"I missed you too, mom." Amelia replied as she hugged her mom back. Then she added, "Mom, this is your grandson, Harvey." Then she added, "Harvey, this is your grandma and the women next to her are your aunts, Liz, Kathleen, and Nancy."

Carolyn smiled at the young boy, "Hi Harvey, it's nice to meet you."

Liz, Nancy, and Kathleen all waved and smiled at their nephew.

"Hi it's nice to meet you all." Harvey replied with a smile

Then Amelia hugged each one of her sisters, but when she noticed her Uncle Christopher she froze. She looked around the room and noticed Addison and Harper had come back from the bathroom. Addison walked over to Amelia and rubbed her back gently.

"Are you okay, Amy?" Addison asked concerned

Amelia turned around and bolted out the front door, and Harper chased after her.

"Mommy!" Harper yelled as she ran after Amelia

Meanwhile back inside the Shepherd house, everyone except Addison looked confused.

"Why did Amy just run out like that?" Liz asked

"You'll find out later." Addison replied. Then she turned to Carolyn, "Carolyn, can I talk to you privately?"

Carolyn looked confused but nodded, "Of course, Addison."

Addison and Carolyn stepped into another room, as Carolyn stared at Addison confused.

"Can you please tell me why my daughter reacted like that to her uncle? She used to love him. He has been like a father to my children since the death of their father, who was his brother." Carolyn asked

Addison took a deep breath, "There's no easy way to say this but Christopher, he raped Amelia. He's the biological father of Harper and Harvey."

"Oh I think I'm going to be sick." Carolyn replied "I can't believe he would do that."

Addison nodded, "Me either, but I also feel bad for Amy. So how about you ask him to leave and I'll see if I can talk Amelia into coming back."

"Okay that sounds like a good plan." Carolyn said as she agreed with Addison

When they left the room, Addison ran out the front door to find Amelia and Harper, who had run after her mommy.

"Amelia!" Addison yelled "Harper!"

Harper ran over to Addison and took her hand, "Come, mama. I'll show you where mommy is."

Addison nodded and held Harper's hand as the little girl let her to Amelia, who was sitting down curled up with her knees pulled to her chest while crying.

Harper looked at Addison, "Mama, you have to help mommy. I don't know what's wrong with her?"

"I'm going to talk to your mommy. Everything will be okay, sweet girl. She'll be fine, but I want you to go back inside the house and stay with your brother, near your Uncle Derek." Addison told Harper

Harper nodded, "Okay mama." Then she ran back toward the house and went inside.

Addison sat down next to Amelia and wrapped her arms around her, "Hey Amy, it's okay. Your uncle can't hurt you anymore. Nobody's going to let him hurt you, especially me. Plus I told your mom, and she's telling him to leave as we speak."

"Thanks Addie." Amelia replied with a soft sniffle "I don't know what happened. I just saw him and it brought back all though old feelings and memories of what he did to me."

Addison nodded and rubbed Amelia's back, "I know, but don't worry. It's okay. You're safe, Amy. I promise."

Meanwhile inside the Shepherd house, Carolyn walks back into the living room and over to Christopher.

"You need to get out of my house, Chris." Carolyn yelled at him "And never come back. If I ever see you near any of my children or grandchildren I'm going to call the police and get a restraining order against you."

Christopher looked at her confused, "Carolyn, what's wrong? Why are you mad at me?"

"Don't play games with me. Don't pretend you don't know, because you know what you did." Carolyn replied angry. "How could you? She looked up to you and she trusted you, but you broke that trust and you hurt her." Then she slapped him across the face.

Nancy, Liz, and Kathleen all gasped shocked.

"Mom!" Derek yelled shocked

Then Nancy asked, "What did Uncle Chris do that was so bad?"

Carolyn sighed, "Harper, Harvey, close your eyes and cover your ears. You don't need to hear this."

Harper and Harvey did as they were told even though they wanted to know the answer to the question.

"Kids, he...um...he raped your sister Amelia. He's the biological father of Harper and Harvey." Carolyn told her children

Derek became enraged and angry that the man he had looked up to hurt his baby sister so badly. He started beating up his uncle as he pushed him out the door.

"Ow! Ow! Derek, stop! I'm sorry. Okay? I'm so sorry. I don't know why I hurt her. I just did, and I regret it." Christopher apologized as he walked out the door, got in his car, and drove away."

Then Harvey and Harper uncovered their eyes and ears just as Amelia and Addison were walking back in the house.

"Uncle Derek?" Harvey asked with his sister by his side waiting for an answer too "What did your uncle do that was so bad?"

Derek sighed softly, "I'm sorry, bud. I can't tell you exactly what he did, but I can tell you that he hurt your mommy and he broke her trust in him."

Harvey and Harper nodded and then walked over to Amelia and hugged her.

Amelia smiled and hugged her kids back, "What's this for, my babies?"

"I'm sorry that your uncle hurt you." Harper said

"It's okay. It's not your fault, baby." Amelia replied

Later that night, Addison is laying outside on the grass looking at the stars. Harper has her head on Addison's chest, curled up next to her sleeping, while Addison strokes the little girl's hair softly.

Derek walks outside and whispers, "Hey Addison, mind if I join you and my niece?"

"Nope not at all." Addison replied in a whisper "This little girl is fast asleep though."

Derek lays down next to Addison and looks up at the stars with her, "I've realized something with you being here. I still love you, Addison."

Addison interrupted him, "Derek, I'm going to stop you right there. We tried to make it work, and it didn't."

"Addison, would you let me finish?" Derek asked as more of a rhetorical question "Ever since you left New York, I was miserable and I missed you. I moved to Seattle to try and have a fresh start, but everything reminds me of you. I love you, Addison and I always will. Let's give us another try, please? I'm willing to move to LA to be with you, because I don't want to spend any more of my life without you."

Addison sighed softly, "Derek, you don't have to move to LA. You have a job in Seattle, and I'm sure you have friends there too, but if you really want to give us another try. I'm willing to try too." Then she added, "I still love you too, Derek."
