"Meredith?" asked a voice they all knew too well.

Quickly they all turned to see Derek Sheppard trying to look at the little girl Meredith was hiding behind her.

"What. What do you want?" Meredith asked him her voice filled with hate and yet by the look on her face se was ready to cave.

Christina came to her rescue "Dr. Sheppard don't you have a patient to see in room 4234? And I mean... Now!" She asked him. "Well Dr. Yang I am entitled to my lunch and what I do with that time is none of your concern or Dr. Omalley's over there." He said pointidly.

"Awkward" George managed to mummble as he and christina left Meredith on her own.

"You got that right double o 7." She said in a tone.

Lilly was getting angry from being hidden behind her mother so she pushed with all her little might to see the man in front of her. "Mommy is this another uncle or auntie?" The little girl asked smiling sweetly up at Derek.

"No baby he is not."

"Hi what's your name?" Dereck aske ignoring Merediths protest.

"My name is Lilly Anne Grey and I'm 4. You look alot like the guy in the picture." She said so inoccently.

"What picture?"

"The picture mommy is always looking at but whenever I ask who it is she say's nobody you need to know."

Derek looked up into Merediths shocked eyes. Derek knew this was his daughter, it had to be. He gave Meredith a searching look but she chose to ignore him.

"You're him aren't you sir?" Asked Lilly.

"Lilly dear would you please give me some time alone with your mother we need to talk but I promise I'll see you once we're done okay?

"Okay." She said and happily walked back to the play area.

"Mer, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" He asked as a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. "Because Derek...You have a wife. You love your wife. She's a great wife, but the thing is she is YOUR wife Derek. I am not going to be a homewrecker. So for the sake of us all please leave me and my daughter alone." She managed to get that all out without bursting into tears. "Don't you mean our daughter Mer. And I am not leaving either of you. I wont let you leave me either. Please Mer, talk to me." He said closing the gap between them.
