A/N: Sorry it's been so long since I updated. Life has been a rollercoaster this school year. Now that it is finally winding down…let's see what I can type out :) lol

By the Grace of God

Previously in A New Beginning….

Derek heads into the PICU and walks to his daughter's room. Pulling a chair up close to her bed, he lowers himself into it. Holding her hand, he lays his head on her bed. Please be okay. Please let me fix this. Whatever caused you to do this, let me be able to fix it for you.

After twenty minutes, Derek drifts to sleep. Even though visiting hours were over, no one has the heart to wake him to tell him that. After an hour, something jolts Derek awake. His daughter's hand is wiggling under his head.

"Daddy?"

—

"Kinsley?" Derek jolts up in his chair.

"I'm sorry, Daddy!" Kinsley cries, blinking back tears. "I'm sorry for everything."

"Baby, it's okay. It isn't your fault." Derek pats his eldest daughter's head.

"It is my fault. It's my fault you and mom are fighting. I figured that if I wasn't around, you wouldn't have to talk anymore. And if you didn't have to talk anymore, you couldn't fight." Kinsley turns her head away from her dad.

"Sweetheart. I hate to break it to you, but your mother and I have been fighting long before we even had you. I can promise you that."

"But if I wasn't around, you wouldn't be arguing. If I had never been born, you wouldn't still have to talk to her." Kinsley rolls to her side, putting her back to her father, as well as she could with all the wires still attached to her.

"Don't talk like that. Your mother and I love you. We would never want to imagine the world without your smiling face." Derek leans down and kisses his daughter's forehead. "I'm going to go find your Aunt Amelia and let her check you over. Then I'm going to go find your mom, Meredith, and the kids and let them know that you're okay. You scared your brothers and sister half to death." Derek gets up and walks out of the room in search of his sister.

Derek finds his sister with the entire brood in the cafeteria. "Hey Amelia." Derek motions for his sister to come over to where he is. He didn't want to let the family bombard Kinsley just yet.

Amelia gets up and walks over to her brother. "What's wrong? Is Kinsley okay?"

"She just woke up. I believe she's okay. Do you want to come and check her out?"

"Yea, come on." Amelia follows Derek out of the cafeteria.

—

A few weeks have passed since Kinsley woke up in the hospital. Derek and Addison now attends family therapy with her weekly. Summer is coming to a close. The entire Grey-Shepherd brood are getting ready for a new school year. Life is looking up for all of the family. Kinsley realizes that what she did was the stupidest thing she could have done. Suicide doesn't solve anything. It just hurts the people you love and leave behind.

The End.

A/N: Thank you to everyone who stuck by this trilogy the past few years. This is where I draw it to a clsoe. I know this is a sucky ending for my writing standards, but I have been struggling with this chapter for 6 months and feel like my attention has been pulled away from writing by work and just life in general. I am tinkering with writing a fan fiction about April since I am sad she's leaving the show. She's the one I identify with the most. But please review. Thank you for reading the Dark and Twisty Life trilogy. Love ya'll
