Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy… I wish I did…

Last time: "He's with his what?!" both of them stared at her and answered in shock.

XXXX

Both Cristina and George began wiping off the liquid that came from their earlier reaction.

"Daughter. McDreamy has a daughter. As in he-was-married-and-have-a-child daughter." Meredith said, taking another shot of tequila. She was already getting drunk.

"Did he tell you?" George asked.

"No. I found him in room 219 with Addison. Apparently, it was their daughter admitted there. I didn't ask what the diagnosis was."

"So you've met his daughter? What's she like?" Cristina asked, earning incredulous looks from both Meredith and George. "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Seriously, George, don't tell me you're not curious about what McDreamy and Satan's spawn is like?"

"I am but—"

"I can't believe you, guys." Meredith told them, clearly drunk but answered anyway. "has fabulous red hair… looks as gorgeous as Addison… McDreamy's eyes and hates me for obvious reasons. His ex-wife and their daughter are gorgeous. How can I compete with that?"

"It's karma…" Cristina replied "What have you done, Mer?"

"I got into a relationship with an attending who was married for almost 12 years."

"Alex, you won't believe what Dr. Bailey just told me to do!"

Alex looked up from the chart he was reading, while waiting for the lab results of Dr. Mark Sloan's patient, and saw a very excited Izzie Stevens.

"Are you just gonna stand there or are you going to tell me?"

"What's your problem?" Izzie wasn't going to let Alex's grumpiness ruin her happy mood.

"Once again, I'm Sloan's errand man. My chances on getting on a surgery with him are between zero to none."

"You'll be surprised. Ever since he started working on his friendship with Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Shepherd, he's actually starting to be a quite decent mentor."

"I wouldn't know. I haven't been assigned to him in while." How would he know? He was working mostly with Dr. Montgomery since he was considering going into her specialty, although he wouldn't admit it to anyone else yet. "Anyway, what was it you're going to tell me?"

"Dr. Bailey said the patient in Room 219 specifically asked for me. Can you believe it? Me!" Ever since Denny, Izzie wasn't as sure of herself as before and needs all the encouragement she can get from her superiors.

"Great! You get to be a doctor to the super confidential patient while I get to be a plastic surgeon's secretary. How fair is that?"

"Shut it, Alex!" They each took the results handed to them and headed to their designated cases.

"Is Uncle Mark here?" Erika asked her parents who were both sitting on the couch, reviewing the charts of their latest cases.

"Well, he's here in Seattle and works in this hospital but I'm not sure if he's on-call." Addison answered her, taking off her glasses and lying back on the couch.

"Since you guys are working on your friendship or whatever, do I get to see my Godfather?" she glanced from Addison and Derek. She saw the two of them making eye contact and she wasn't sure what that meant. "Look, it's fine if I can't. It was just a thought."

Derek suddenly felt guilty. He knew how close Mark was to her daughter. He was as much as a father to Erika as he was. Most of the activities he couldn't attend, he sent Mark with Addison and just gave Erika gifts to make up for it.

He closed the chart he was perusing and sat on the bed beside her daughter and placed his arms around her, hugging her. "Gummy Bear, I'm not saying you can't. I just want you to finish your meeting with Dr. Stevens first."

"Miranda said Stevens is on her way here. Honey, you do know that Izzie and Meredith are friends, right? They live under the same roof." Addison prepped her daughter like she would prep her patients for surgery.

She wasn't sure what to expect from the conversation with the intern, but she hoped it wouldn't put any additional stress on Erika.

"I know, you've told me. I just want to talk to her, that's all. I heard you guys talking about possible interns for me, and I want it to be Izzie. I don't want any other interns, and I know you said she's one of the best you've seen in years."

XXXX

Izzie didn't have any expectations. She didn't know what to expect from Room 219 but she felt special for being chosen.

She took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She wasn't surprised that Addison was the one who opened the door since she requested for her but she wasn't prepared to see Dr. Derek Shepherd lying on the bed with his arm around the patient, who looked so familiar. They were both asleep.

"Come in, Dr. Stevens and I'll try to explain the situation as best as I can." Addison said, and opened the door widely and waited for Izzie to enter before locking the door.

Derek woke up when he heard Izzie enter the room. Being a light sleeper comes naturally to any doctor at the start of their internship. He didn't want Addison to face Izzie alone knowing it was both their fault. He slowly rose from the bed so as not to wake Erika.

Addison handed her daughter's chart to the shocked intern. "Dr. Stevens, this might explain half of the situation."

She read the name on the chart on turned her gaze to her superiors. "Erika Montgomery-Shepherd?"

Now Izzie knew why the girl seemed so familiar. Everything clicked in place: the hair, the New Yorker style, familiarity with the board and understanding the surgeries.

Derek instinctively stood beside his ex-wife, putting an arm around her and holding her close. He didn't know why but it felt just right.

Addison didn't mind and accepted Derek's comforting touch. It felt so perfect, like nothing ever happened, the affair and the divorce never happened.

"I know this is quite confusing for you, Izzie, but Erika is our daughter. As you can see from the chart, it's Congenital Heart Disease and it has dangers of leading to Congestive Heart Failure." Addison said, tears threatening to fall at the thought of the possibility.

This triggered strong emotions on both women: Addison, because she can't stand the possibility of her baby suffering and Izzie because it reminded her so much of the Denny incident.

"Dr. Stevens, I know this is a big favor to ask you but Dr. Burke needs an intern on her case and Erika said she wants you and only you. She told us you met her when she came here and was really nice to her. She trusts you." Derek said, pleadingly.

"I know Meredith is your friend but please we don't want this getting out yet. The hospital thrives on gossip and stress is not good for Erika right now." Addison added, almost begging.

Izzie looked at the world-known surgeons in front of her. She didn't see two bad-ass surgeons and certainly not Satan and McDreamy in front of her but two worried parents who will do anything for their child.

"Why do you want me on her case? Haven't you heard of what I did to Denny Duquette? I cut his LVAD wires! How can you trust me after that?" Izzie said, tears starting to fall.

"Izzie, it was a mistake and I know you know it, but that doesn't make you a bad doctor. You're the only one she trusts. We want you on the case, Izzie. I know you won't judge her because of what we did. Please, Izzie." Addison pleaded.

"Please do it for me, Izzie?" a voice was heard from the bed.
