Okay, I lied. My AP Homework, not done. That's for tomorrow. Had to write new chapter. By the way the answer to the question of whether the story is AD or MD it is AD friendship but MD are married love each other all that wonderful stuff. But not the perfect marriage cause really I've never met a married couple that didn't argue every now and then, nothing is perfect. For all those Meredith haters there most likely will be times when you will have a legitimate reason for hating Meredith. And for the Meredith lovers there will be times when you'll love Meredith. I try to be realistic in my writing. But like I said before there is romance in the background but it is not the main focus.

Previously in Hailey's arrival:

The wheels in Derek's head began to turn. If it was the same Hailey that Morgan was always talking about, then Addison's daughter was eighteen. He began to do the math. Addison watched as everything came together in Derek's head at the same time Hailey's head was working out who her mother had been talking to.

Deciding that it was better to introduce the father and daughter sooner rather than later, Addison began to speak. "Derek this is Hailey my daughter, Hailey this is Derek your father."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hailey stared at the man not knowing what to do. Addison stared at Derek trying to gage his reaction. Derek stared at Hailey taking in the young girls features from her red hair to her blue eyes. Morgan stared at all three people feeling like she did not fit with the current situation.

The four people stood staring at each other until Addison's pager went off.

"Hails, I gotta' go I'll see you later on tonight," Addison said as she turned to leave.

Being forced out of her trance, Hailey looked up at her mother. "Mom, what time will you be at the house? We are going to order pizza."

"It doesn't matter what time you order, Morgan's parents will be home," Addison said.

"Actually, they're both on call tonight," Morgan said.

Derek watched as the three women communicated with each other amazed at how all three of them had quickly returned to acting like everything was the same. Like nothing had changed. He watched as Addison left and Hailey, his daughter had also turned to go.

"Bye Uncle Derek," Morgan said before she left.

Startled out of his daze he gave a lopsided grin to his wife's goddaughter.

"Bye Morgan." He watched Morgan catch up with Hailey and he watched how the two best friends walked in sync with each other.

Morgan and Hailey returned to the house with four movies and a box of popcorn. "That was interesting," Morgan said as she took two bags of popcorn out of the new box and placed one in the microwave.

"That defiantly was not how I pictured meeting my dad." Hailey said as she fixed two glasses of water.

"Really, 'cause that is exactly how I pictured it would be," Morgan joked trying to lighten up the mood.

Hailey rolled her eyes at Morgan's lame attempt, "I can't believe my mother just introduced us like, I don't know colleges or friends." She said making her way to the overly stuffed sofa in front of the TV in the living room.

"Hailey, she didn't know what to do. Your dad's a doctor; he could have easily figured out that the timing was perfect. Everything would have worked out for your conception to be around the last time they saw each other." Morgan said after putting in a DVD, flopping down next to Hailey.

"I know, you're right Morgan. It just didn't feel right. I had everything planned out. What I would say when I met him, what I would ask." Hailey said.

"You still have the opportunity to do all of those things. He's probably still getting over the shock."

"I guess you're right," Hailey said as she leaned back into the sofa to enjoy the movie—Aladdin.

Derek had searched the hospital for the red head he had lunch with to no avail. He was furious. Why did she hide her from me? Addison had no right at all to keep my firstborn a secret and raise her without me in New York City. Derek thought as he changed into street clothes in the locker room. He yanked his shirt out of the locker when he heard the door open. He looked up and watched her walk in with Dr. Yang. The two women did not notice him until they heard him close the door to his locker.

"Addison I need to go check on a patient. If Morgan orders anchovies on the pizza again, you have my permission to throw her out of the attic window." Cristina said as she turned and walked out of the room.

As he stared at her, he began to calm down. "Did you know when you left?" Derek asked thinking that the best place to start was at the beginning.

"I guess I had an idea," Addison said as she sat down on the metal bench in front of the lockers. She leaned her head up against the cold metal.

"Then why did you leave?" Derek asked sitting down in front of his own locker a few feet away.

"I couldn't stay; you didn't want me to stay." Addison said, not believing they were having this particular conversation in a hospital locker room.

"You didn't know what I wanted Addison."

"Yes I did. You thanked me earlier for leaving. You know as well as I do that if I had stayed, you would not be happy. A child did not need to be brought up in that kind of home. I didn't want our child to grow up with her father resenting her because she was what kept him away from the woman he had fallen in love with."

"Addison, you don't know that was what I would feel. You assumed. When you make assumptions you make an ass out of yourself."

"I know that now." Addison said looking into her hands.

"You should have known that then. We as a couple may not have been able to work. I know that for us divorce was inevitable, but you should have at least given me the chance to determine that."

"I did give you that chance. When I first came to Seattle, I gave you that choice." Addison said her voice rising slightly.

"I mean a chance to see if we could overcome that glitch in our marriage. Not only that but a chance to be a father. You took my daughter away from me. How could you do that? Why would you do that Addison? Did you want to hurt me again, as much as I was hurting you at the time."

"I just wanted you to be happy Derek, that's all." Addison said as she felt a tear drop into her lap. She got up and opened her locker and removed her things. Addison then walked out of the locker room to the hospital exit.

Derek watched her leave realizing he was the father of not two, but three children, two of which were girls. Girls that he would have to walk down the aisle, girls who he would never let date, girls who could get hurt and end up in bad relationships, girls who could make bad decisions and end up pregnant, girls he would kill for, girls he would die for, girls he loved more than anything in the world, one of which he had not even said two words to.

AN: The whole girls… thing with the dating and stuff. Only daughter right here, the youngest with two older brothers, a daddy's girl. Uhuh and both brothers and dad all want to go to the prom with me, and then to college. Does anyone feel my pain?
