A Year Later:

It was a warm sunny afternoon when Hannah was sitting at the park with Rachel who was fascinated by her doll, and the birds chirping while Hannah was waiting for an important phone call that could make or break her career in fashion with fashion week coming up in the next few weeks. It was 2:30pm Seattle time when Hannah got a call from Donald her ex-boyfriend, and Rachel's father who went to Boston for a job opportunity and wanted Hannah back and that he regretted leaving her for the other chick who turned out to be married and he still loved her. Hannah didn't know what to say all she could say is can we meet in Boston on Friday. Although Lexie had been helping Hannah with Rachel for a year Hannah couldn't tell her that she was taking Rachel to Boston to meet her father.

When Hannah, and Rachel returned home Derek was home eating some ice cream because he had a recent dental surgery because of an abscess tooth. "Hi Dad so Rachel and I are leaving for Boston in the morning." Hannah said to her father. "Wait what Hannah Mae Shepherd what are you talking about?" Derek asked his daughter. "Rachel and I are going to Boston for the weekend, as I have an interview, and another reason that you don't need to know." Hannah said. Derek didn't have anything to say about his daughter taking his granddaughter by herself without anyone. At dinner Meredith came home with Betty who has a brace on her wrist from an injury she did at school, Tyler sitting waiting for Thursday night tacos, Amelia studying for her drivers license even though she is only 15 almost 16, Luke spending the night with Bailey, and Annabelle, Lexie who went to Zola's for the night, and Hannah who was packing for her trip for Boston in the morning.

"Hannah are you leaving with Rachel?" Meredith asked. "Yes and no were going to Boston for the weekend we will be back on Tuesday." Hannah replied to her mother. Meredith was shocked that Hannah was leaving with her granddaughter and was upset that she was leaving because she was scared that Hannah was going to get a house so that she would never see her daughter or granddaughter.

Hannah was afraid to tell her parents that the reason why she was going to Boston besides a job interview. Hannah didn't know what her parents were going to say about her choice to see someone that for a year straight that she was going to leave behind. Hannah very much loved Donald as she saw him every day in their daughter who Donald has yet to meet his daughter. When the morning came Hannah swore that she saw her parents fight back tears to say goodbye to their daughter for the weekend. While on the plane Hannah read her diaries from when she was pregnant with Rachel, and how Donald was everything that she talked about, and Rachel's first birthday.

Dear Diary;

Today I found out I'm expecting a little bundle of joy. I scared to do this on my own I miss him but I know that this baby doesn't need his or her father sleeping around. I know being on my own isn't fun but at least I have my family, and friends. I know that having lost all connection with my family is hard. I miss my family but I don't want to take the shine away from Ellis who recently had triplets Luke, Leia, and Gail. I haven't been to see her in weeks because I'm afraid of what she is going to say about my situation.

Sincerely,

Hannah

Dear Diary;

Today was a rough day Maya Anderson my best friend who has been helping me through this pregnancy lost her father to colon cancer yesterday, and today her grandfather to a heart attack. I know that Maya is having a rough patch as I am but I miss him. I miss the endless laughter we had together, the endless fun, the endless romance we once had. Donald was my life and still is I wish he didn't have to do this to me. I know that this baby needs a father but do I really want to expose him/her to its father. I hope one day we can meet each other again and he can meet this baby.

Sincerely,

Hannah

Dearest Diary;

I lost my grandmother, and the only person I want is him he's my person he's my love, he's my child's father who is going to miss the birth of our child. Our first child who could come any day now. I keep all of his texts to remind me of who he was or who I am without him, and to remind myself that this baby is a miracle and that he is my love and will always will be.

Sincerely,

Hannah

Dear Diary;

Well I had a beautiful baby girl I named Rachel Meredith Shepherd. She reminds me of her father. I wish he could see what looks like, I wish he could be apart of our life as a family like we were suppose to. I'm glad my parents took me in along with Rachel so that we have a place to live until we are able to be a family again even if he never wants me I will never give up. Rachel is my world and is all I have left of him, and all I have to love other than my parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces.

Sincerely,

Hannah

Dearest Diary;

Today is Rachel's first birthday and I wish Donald were her to see how beautiful she is. I wish I knew where he was I know that he would love to meet Rachel. I hope he gets to meet Rachel one day. During the past year it's kind of hard to think of all of the fun things that I have done with Rachel but still be sad because my lover is missing, and I really want him back even though he probably never contact me again but I will never forget him. I will never forget the 3 years we had together, College sweethearts and his fiancé before he went off with her that women who I don't dare talk about because she destroyed what could have been my life.

Sincerely,

Hannah

When Hannah and Rachel landed in Boston Donald was there to meet Hannah and was surprised to see a young girl attached to her hip. "Hannah who's this little cutie?" Donald asked. "Well she's your daughter." Hannah said to him. "My daughter you mean you were pregnant when I left you for that married woman?" he asked Hannah. "Yes and for the past 18 months you are all I could think of besides our daughter." Hannah said. "Hannah I missed us but why didn't you tell me about Rachel?" he asked. "I didn't tell you about her because I thought you were in love with that girl." Hannah said. "Well the only reason why I did it was to get your attention because you had been busy, and I needed pleasure it was never to get you to leave or me leave. I wanted to be your husband, I wanted to be Rachel's father." Donald said. "I missed you actually I never got rid of my ring I still have it on a necklace and I never go anywhere without it as you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with and I don't want that to change." Hannah said.

After the long weekend in Boston Donald decided that he would get his job transferred back to Seattle and that he would follow his love, and daughter home. When Hannah returned home with Rachel, Meredith, and Derek were shocked that she was back with Donald and that they would be living in the house until they were able to get a house. Derek told his daughter that she could stay as long as she wants and that they never want her to be distant from the family again. Lexie was surprised because of Hannah's strong statements about how she didn't want Rachel to know her father but instead Hannah got back with him. When Ellis found out she was excited because she liked Donald and was upset when they broke up. Now that Hannah was happy again with having the man she loves, and the child she loves nothing could stop her from proceeding with what she believed in and that was finally working on her relationship which meant that she would marry her lover, and become a big family like the one she grew up in.

A/N: I wanted to try a new form of writing I hope you liked it. Also Rachel's father isn't going anywhere now because he is going to become a character that gets mentioned a lot like Fred, Roger, and Annabelle. Also I hope you liked this really long chapter with multiple diary entries that shows Hannah's pain and how Donald is all she could think of.
