Burke left to grab a wheel chair. Derek shifted uncomfortably. Meredith sighed as she turned to him.

"You don't mind do you?" she asked nervously.

"Mer," he sighed as he pulled her to him. "I'm glad you looked to let me in."

"Well it is about our baby." she told him.

Derek kissed her on her forehead. "Everything will be fine."

Ellis cleared her throat.

Meredith turned to her placing a hand on Richard's shoulder.

"Meredith can you page your brothers please." she asked.

It is only now that she see's the young man who she can now assume to be Richard, the brother she had been told about.

"You didn't tell him first?" she asked.

"Meredith?" Richard asked confused.

"Last night she told me." Meredith sighed turning to her father. "Derek and i were about to leave and she told me, and then she said she was going to tell you." Meredith confessed. "I wanted to tell you, i did."



"Shhh... Baby girl it's ok." Richard lulled her as he piked up on her early signs of a panic attack.

"I'm sorry daddy." she whispered as Richard pulled Meredith onto his lap.

"It's ok baby girl it's not your fault." he soothed her.

Derek bent down and kissed her forehead. He hated that Richard could instantly calm her. He wished he could.

Derek then pulls out his pager and pages the boys.

"Page Addison for Mark." Richard spoke quietly.

Derek quickly did so as Burke entered the room.

Derek bent down ad scooped Meredith off of Richards lap so he could get up and into the wheel chair. Burke was waiting.

"Couldn't we just do it here?" Richard asked.

Richie remained silent as he watched his father climb into the wheel chair.

"We could if there was enough room for two beds, but there isn't." Burke replied.

Meredith was snuggled up into Derek's chest.


"Good thing you're my intern." Derek chuckled.

"Not that Mandy is too happy with that." She replied.

Derek chuckled. "You survived to tell the story."

"Who is Mandy?" Richie asked.

"Ummm my cousin... well i guess our cousin." Meredith replied.

Richard shook his head.

"Mer, the boys are on their way. Be there for Lex, I think he's going to need you." Richard told her.

Meredith sighed. Derek lowered her to the ground.

"We will probably be on the roof later." Meredith informed him.

"I'm your father, i always know where to find you." he told her with a chuckle as Burke then led him out of the room.
