Since my granddaughter was admitted to the hospital I have felt so bad for the poor girl as Gail gets everything and yet her brother and sister don't which is sad. Sometimes it doesn't matter she still ends up sick sad because she's a brilliant little girl that I love dearly. Poor Meredith thinks that her Grey curse didn't affect our children but naturally went to our grandchildren instead. Although Lexie, Luke, and Mia have it hard. Lexie is going through a divorce with Allen because he left her for another women because he couldn't handle the pressure of impressing Meredith and I as a good husband, or father or even being married to a actress but mostly model. Lexie gave up being an actress the day she brought Henry into this world. She loves her children dearly and found that being a model in Seattle was better than being stuck in LA all the time. Although Lexie just returned home because of the situation, its great to see my daughter, and see little Austin again. Meredith and I haven't seen Lexie in a year and that was when Austin James Shepherd was born. But Lexie isn't the only one of the children that have left to return, as Luke just returned after the death of Louise. It was tough on him because he's got two little girls he's taking care of that are only 9 ½ months apart in age. Makayla May is two now but Danielle Nichole, is only one years old. As for Mia well, she amongst it all lost her husband overseas while pregnant with his child.

Mia returned home a week ago with our grandson Jack, and newborn grandson Benjamin. Of course Meredith and I always have the space for the children but Mia insisted she move in with Lexie and her kids because they were always so close when they were living together. this morning when I went to check on my sweet granddaughter Gail, Bailey stopped in to say hi with little George, today was his day off but he wanted to see how Tyler, and Gail were. A few days ago Tyler ended up in the hospital for a concussion from Football, and a torn ACL which still needs to be repaired as soon as possible but we wanted to wait on healing before we tackled that with his concussion. As for Gail she ended up in the hospital yesterday because of her infection in her foot, and her broken bones. Poor girl has already had one operation to put her foot back into place, but now we have to wait till her swelling, and infection goes away before we can do anything.

"Dad what do you think about Matt Carson coming over for dinner?" Elizabeth asked. "Maribeth who is Matt is he the father of the baby?" I asked. "Really dad i'm not a baby anymore, and Matt is just a friend. The father left the moment that he found out he was going to be a father." Elizabeth said. "Really sis? Why did you have to get pregnant at your age and tell the father about the baby." Ellis said. "Ugh don't you have like 5 kids of your own to care for one in this very hospital with an infection that you refused to look at so that she is in this position." Elizabeth yelled at Ellis. "Excuse me young lady are you being rude to your older sister, because if you are your in trouble the one thing your father and I taught you was to be nice to your siblings, and not rude so you better rethink what you are saying to your sister." Meredith said in an angry voice.

This was the first time in several weeks that she had used her angry voice with our children. First of all Ellis decided that she was going to give up everything that she had built up just so she could focus on being an ice skater but because she was pregnant and didn't know about Stewie at the time she decided that she couldn't quit because she already had 4 kids, and welcomed Stewie who I love dearly. I never thought that my daughter who was so pure and said she didn't want to end up like Zola, Lexie, Ellis, Hannah, and Amelia would be a troubled teen. Elizabeth is smart and now she is going to be a mother. Tyler isn't too happy about his twin sister having a baby. Bailey hasn't been himself lately because of Annabelle's moods. Just as I was talking to Bailey and Zola about getting the family together for a dinner after Tyler, and Gail get out of the hospital when an emergency came in so I had to go.

When I got to the emergency bay I saw a woman who was in a car accident barely conscious. I paged Ellis to get a head CT until we realized it was Annabelle. I quickly got Bailey down to her when he started to question about the baby that she was carrying. Bailey and Annabelle were keeping this baby on the down low considering what happened with little George. I paged my niece Olivia to check for a fetal heartbeat which was fast. We tried everything to help Annabelle that we could. The only thing we could do is take the baby. Of course Bailey knew what it was like to have a child in the NICU as George was there because he came at 30 weeks. Bailey, Ellis, Meredith, Amelia, Olivia, Zola , and Roger were a mess because we were worried about Annabelle and the baby but there was nothing we could really do to help out. The next worry was where was Michael, and Madeline, because they were supposed to be with Annabelle, as Bailey had George. When I called Luke, Lexie, Amelia, and Hannah about Annabelle they began to cry and started to ask about Mike, and Maddie because they were with Annabelle before the accident.

The next thing I remember is another ambulance from another hospital was bringing in another trauma. Zola this time went to investigate, and it was the other driver from the same accident. We asked him about children in the car, and he replied and said that their were no children in the car. Bailey began to worry about where his kids were until Caroline came in with Maddie.

"Mom is it that bad?" asked Caroline. "Yes sweetie I don't know if she's going to make it." Zola said to her daughter. "Oh Dear does Mikey know?" Caroline asked. "No do you know where he is?" I asked. "He's suppose to be with Elizabeth, and Tyler." Caroline said. "Okay so where is Luke, Leia, Sally, Stewie, Albert, and Elliot?" I asked. "Grandpa their with Carrie she's bringing them here, besides Uncle Luke, Aunt Lexie, and Aunt Millie are coming with their kids this is a time to grieve because well by Aunt Anna's injuries she's probably not going to make it past having the baby, and if Uncle Bailey loses her I don't know if he will be the same uncle, that I know and love." Caroline said.

No matter how old Caroline is it still melts my heart when she calls me Grandpa. I remember the first time she did and it was the most beautiful moment of my life besides seeing my children besides Zola being born. As I walked with Maddie, and Caroline to the waiting room a nurse was pushing a small baby girl towards us. Maddie looked scared, but Bailey told her that her baby sister Bonnie Anne Shepherd was going to be okay. I asked Bailey about Anna but he didn't say anything. When Dr. Bailey came out she told us that we could only hope for the best at this point as their really is no way of knowing of what is going to happen. Even my granddaughter who is a patient in the hospital ended up in the waiting room with our whole family minus Hannah because she has a 8 hour flight from New York to get here with her 2 kids, and Donald. It was good to have our family together waiting to find out if Anna is going to live or not. The night ended sad, as Bailey knew that she wasn't going to make it so he called Meg, and Nat to see her before he said his final goodbye to his loving wife of 4 children. I felt bad for my son as he now knows what Luke went though just not this bad sad. After they said goodbye we all had a chance to say goodbye. Meredith and I were a wreck because we loved Anna and how she was in our Family for 15 years even before Bailey Married her. We will never forget the impact that Annabelle had on us. Saying goodbye is hard to do when you aren't fully prepared. I was hoping I would never have to say goodbye but life happens that way.

A/N: I know this chapter is a little dark but its a story of how the family deals with this situation and how they come together again and not drifted apart like they currently were at the beginning of the chapter. Also I hope to discuss why Fred Zola's husband disappeared, and the other children's spouses besides Ellis' as he is currently a character that is seen quite a bit with their story. Anyway I hope you like this chapter even if it is a little dark
