Meredith and the gang reached the room to which burke had paged them. They all filed in, Richie following hesitantly.

"Burke" Mark began.

"Ok guys lets talk." Burke began, as he moved to Richards bedside.

Meredith shifted nervously.

"Richard suffered as Meredith initially suggested a severe panic attack. It elevated his heart rate significantly but he appears to have now settled and seems ok." Burke explained.

Meredith let out a sigh of relief.

Derek pulled her close.

Mark nodded to Burke while Alex stepped forward and thanked him

Richie shifted nervously. "So i didnt' kill him?" he asked. "Thats good."

Preston turned to look at him and gave him an odd look. "and you are?"

Richie looked at Meredith and the boys.

"He's my son." Richard spoke up.

Burke turned back to the chief.

"When Ellis left, well she took a part of me with her." Richard explained.

Burke nodded. "I'm preston burke, head cardiologist." he introduced.

"Richard Webber, long lost son." Richie replied.

Burke looked at Mark who nodded. "Alright then, well, he's good to go."

Richard sat up and removed the ventialtor. "Good"

"What now dad?" Alex asked.

"You will all go back to work, as will i and Richard will go back to his mother." he answered.

"Richie, dad, call me Richie." Richie told him.

Richard nodded. "Well Richie, you should go back to your mother."

Richie nodded.

Meredith sighed. She quickly turned to Derek. "Are we going to check on mom?" she asked.

Derek could see the concern in her eyes. "Yeah we can start with her."

Meredith smiled and leaned in and kissed him softly.

"Dr Shepherd." Richard said sternly. "You are currently at work can you please keep your hands off of your intern."

Derek stepped back from Meredith. "Sorry Chief."

Meredith groaned.

"Dr Grey, you have work to get to. Please dont fraternise with your attending, and keep your relationship out of work." Richard added.

Alex and Mark chuckled.

"Now all of you disappear. I have to get changed and then i have work to do."

Meredith stepped forward. "Love you Daddy" she whispered.

Alex and Mark moved forward and placed a hand each on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you are ok dad." Alex told him.

Mark stood there a moment longer. "It's all good dad."

Richard nodded.

"Good to hear you are ok richard." Derek cut in, before anybody else could speak.

"Looking good Dad" Addie said with a smile.

Richie nodded at his father before following the others out of the room.

"We will walk with you." Derek told Richie.

Richie nodded

Derek took Merediths hand and Meredith smiled at Richie.

"Let's go" Meredith said as they slowly made their way back to Ellis's room.
