Derek watched as she screamed. He quickly jumped to his feet and wrapped his arms around her. Several nurses came in along with an office and Dr. Rayburn. She gasped for air as she started to panic. Derek felt her pull away as she began ripping the i.v. out of her arm. She threw her legs over the bed and started to take off.

"Mer!" Derek said as she swooped her up. She looked up at him and started swinging at him. "Meredith!" He yelled as she pulled her close.

"Mar-- Mar- Marty and Holly!" She screamed.

"What about Marty and Holly?" Derek asked as he looked into her red eyes.

"They have my babies! They took our babies." She cried out. "We have to stop them!"

"Ma'am... I'm detective Crisholm. What exactly do you remember?" He asked as he rushed over.

"Tell them, Mer." Derek said as she looked at her.

"I was making lunch. I thought Derek was home. He grabbed me from behind and covered my face. I knew his voice, his watch, his smell. And then I looked up. Holly grabbed the twins. Everything went black." She said as she sobbed. "I tried to hold my breathe... I tried..."

"Who are these people?" Detective Crisholm asked.

"Marty Tanner and Holly Davison." Derek looked down at his wife. "They're on that list I gave you..."

"You're sure, Dr. Shepherd?" He asked as he looked down at her. She nodded her head.

"They're siblings..." She muttered.

"What!" Derek said loudly.

"Brother and sister..." She said as she began to sob harder.

"Oh my God..." Derek said in utter shock.

"I'm going to..." The detective trailed off as he rushed off.

"Mer, I'm so sorry..." Derek said as he glared at the nurses to get out.

"Why? Why, Derek?" She moaned as her body quivered.

"I don't know, Mer. I have no idea." Derek said as he too began to cry.

"Where is Anna?" Meredith said in a panic as she jerked away.

"Disneyworld." He said quickly. "I sent her there with Jane and a bodyguard. She didn't need this. She doesn't know."

"Disneyworld... What is today?" She said as she looked up.

"They've been gone for two days." He said sadly. She quickly jumped off his lap and began dressing herself.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he watched her.

"We have to find them." She said frankly,

"Mer. You haven't been in the right year for the last two days. You can't go anywhere." He told her as he grabbed her hand.

"I'm not sitting around." She said as she shoved him and continued to get dressed. She looked around the room, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything before she rushed out.

"Dr. Grey!" Justin Rayburn yelled as he watched her rush down the hallway. "You can't leave."

"I am." She said as she continued on, with Derek on her heels.

"The police have a post here. In the conference room." He said as he grabbed her arm and rushed towards the room.

"Dr. Shepherd..." They said as they looked up.

"What's going on?" Meredith asked as looked around.

"We think we have a lead to where they might be..." He said as he looked over the papers.

"Where?" Derek asked loudly. The detective ignored him as he looked around. He didn't want Derek to get in the middle, to cause more trouble. "Where?"

They both stood there as the world flew around them. The thought of their children in someone else's arms made them sick. The thought of them crying with no one to hold them. No one to assure them that life was going to be okay. They didn't know what Marty and Holly wanted to do with the kids. But either way, they knew it wasn't good. Their attention was piqued when they heard someone speak over the radio.

"Suspects Tanner and Davison have been spotted by the dock." The voice said. "What would you like me to do?"

"Set up a team... I'm on my way." The detective responded.

"The dock?" Derek said in shock as he looked at Meredith.

"Stay here!" The detective said as he ran out.

"Fuck this!" Derek spat as he grabbed Meredith's hand ran towards the stairwell.

"Our babies." Meredith cried as they rushed down, two stairs at a time.

Derek jumped behind the wheel of his Land Rover. He didn't care about anything but his children at the moment. His hatred for Holly and Marty was immense. Unbearable. As he drove, he thought about all the ways that he could torture them. Meredith had a feeling about both of them. And he ignored it. He thought when he had warned Marty, that he was out of their lives. And at the party, he was sure that Marty was truly sorry. And Holly. He brought that one on himself. He was the one that fell in love with Meredith and dumped her as fast as he could. He was the reason that Holly did all this. And now they suffered. Everyone suffered.

"What if they're hurt." Meredith said as she began to cry. "What if they're dead..."

"Meredith, now is not the time to think about that!" Derek snapped as he sped along. "I'm sorry...I just..."

"I can't lose them..." She cried. "And what have they been feeding them?"

"You're breast milk. They emptied the refrigerator." Derek said reassuringly. "The police are convinced that they didn't want to hurt them."

What a joke. They didn't want to hurt them. If they didn't want to hurt them, they wouldn't have taken them away from their parents. From their loving family. If they didn't want to hurt them, they wouldn't keep them away. They wanted to hurt them. Maybe not intentionally. They really wanted to hurt their parents. The babies were just the tool in a very sick plan.

"What if I'm dried up?" She said as she looked down at her chest.

"You're not. I pumped." He said frankly.

"You pumped?" She said as she looked at him in shock.

"When you were asleep. I nearly risked my life. If seventeen year old Meredith Grey had woken up, I think she would have beat me to death with her ineffectual fists." He said with a faint chuckle, before remembering the seriousness on the situation.

"What?" Meredith said in confusion.

"You thought you were seventeen." Derek said quickly. "What a shock it was for you when you looked in the mirror."

"Oh my God..." She said in shock, thanking God she woke up. "Thank you, Derek."

"For what?" He asked as he looked over.

"Everything." She said as she grabbed his hand.

Derek sucked in a deep breathe when they pulled up to the docks. It could have been any dock in Seattle. But he knew when they saw the flashing of lights in the distance. He barely put the car in park as they both jumped out. Then they approached, two officers ran up and stopped them.

"You can't come up here." He said frankly.

"Bullshit... My children. Those assholes have my children!" Derek said as she continued to walk.

"Oh my God!" Meredith gasped as she looked up to see Marty and Holly, standing ext to a boat, each holding a baby. Marty had a gun in his hand.

"Holy shit..." Derek said as he caught what she saw.

"My babies!" Meredith cried as she struggled to move forward. The officer moved up and allowed them to come somewhat closer. They could hear a negotiator trying to talk to Marty.

"Place the babies on the ground and put your hands up." He said into the speaker.

"Fuck you!" Marty shouted as he looked towards the boat.

It seemed like forever. They stood there as time crawled past. They suffered as they watched two vile people stand there, holding their babies hostage. Two people that probably didn't know their names. People that didn't care about what happened to them or anyone else. Marty glanced at the boat again, contemplating what to do. Meredith watched as a team of offices pointed their guns at them.

"Don't shoot my babies!" She cried as she watched. "Oh my God, Derek." She said as she leaned against his chest.

Everyone looked at the desperation on Meredith's face. They looked at the determination on Marty's as he clutched Delilah tightly. Meredith could hear both of the babies wail loudly for their parents. Marty was getting irritated.

"Shut up, you little shit!" He yelled as her as he squeezed.

"Stop!" Meredith screamed.

"Fuck this!" He yelled quickly as he glanced at the boat, and at Holly. He held Delilah up over the water. They all gasped as he did the unthinkable. He swung her arms and threw her into the bay. An over-zealous rookie quickly fired his weapon. In the confusion, shots rang out loudly. Bullets flew freely.

Derek quickly ran out into the middle and down the dock, diving into the cold water. Meredith ran after him. Everything went quiet. All except for the screams from a desperate mother. She looked down at Marty, who had a solid shot between his eyes. Holly was covered in blood. She looked at the three holes that had pierced her, causing her to bleed out.

"Oh my God!" Meredith screamed as she looked at Devlin in Holly's arms, covered in blood.

Meredith quickly pulled her crying son out of Holly's dead arms. She held him close against her chest as he sobbed. As she looked down at him, his eyes locked with hers and he quickly quieted down. She looked at his blood soaked onesie and the dark blood running down his head. She gasped as she saw Derek come to the surface, holding Delilah. The rescue personale quickly helped him out of the water.

"She's okay. She's okay..." He said in disbelief as he held the crying baby in his arms. Meredith felt her cold skin on her hands. "We're okay... We're all okay." He said as he kissed Meredith's head.

"Derek... You're freezing!" She said as she touched him. The paramedics quickly rushed them to the ambulance. "I love you." She said as she looked up at him.

The ride to the hospital was quiet. The babies looked lovingly at their parents. As she looked down at them, she had never been so relieved in her life. To think, a year ago, she didn't want kids. She didn't want a family. And now she was blessed with the more perfect family, and she couldn't imagine it any other way.

"They are fine." Addison said as she finished checking the twins out. "A little dehydrated, but they look good." She said as she stroked Devlin's cheek.

"I can't believe you found her, Derek." Meredith said as she pulled Delilah close.

"She's my daughter. I can't explain it... I just knew where she was." He said as he kissed her head.

"Well, babies instinctively hold their breath underwater." Addison said quickly. They all sat there, looking at the perfectly content babies. "I told you it would be fine." Addison said as she looked into Derek's eyes. "I'll leave you two alone." She said as she walked out.

"You will never know how much I love you." Derek said as he looked over at her.

"I do. Believe me, I do." He said as she leaned in and kissed him.

As she looked into his blue eyes, she knew she could never have more love in her heart for anyone else. He was her heart and soul. He stuck with her as times got rough. When Ian showed up. When he found her book. When she wasn't sure that she wanted kids. When she got custody of Anna. Even when it seemed like they were close to the end, somehow they pulled back together. And now that she had her children back, and she had him, and Anna. She knew life was complete. But she also knew how close she had come to losing it all.

So the babies were okay... You didn't really think I'd hurt them, did you?
