Thanks for your reviews, they mean a lot to me. Here's chapter 2, hope you enjoy.
Chapter Two- And it feels like rain
"Liv," Derek Shepherd whispered as he stared at his daughter, her eyes unreadable. Still dressed in her navy blue school kilt and white blouse, she fumbled with her collar. It was one of her many quirks Derek noticed, when she was nervous she needed to have something in her hands.
"Hi, daddy," Liv whispered back her eyes now shining with confidence, somehow still cold. "Mom."
"Liv, what are you doing here, is something wrong?" Addison spoke and Derek realized to look at Meredith. His girlfriend looked like she was in a state of panic, this was not the way Derek had imagined introducing his girlfriend to his teenage daughter.
Liv's first response was to say yes. Everything was wrong and they didn't even know it. They didn't call, they didn't write, she was alone. Her answer however told a different story, "I just missed you," she said giving her head the tilt Derek always felt for.
Addison and Derek smiled at their daughter when their pagers went off. "Go," Liv said as they gave her an apologetic sign. "Safe lives." With one more glance they were gone leaving Olivia with a very nervous and unknowing Meredith.

Meredith Grey stood staring at the girl she knew would make life as she had began to know it a whole lot different. In designer shoes Olivia still stood across from her texting to someone on her cell phone. Olivia seemed like the type of girl Meredith would have stayed clear in high school, Meredith had pink hair, Olivia had a pink cell phone. Looking up from her phone, Olivia smiled and Meredith braced herself for the worst. "So you must be Meredith."
The statement was suggestive and sickly sweet, Meredith wanted to run. There she was at work with a fifteen year old who was making her shake and sweat. "Yeah, Meredith Grey."
"Olivia." Both stood in silence, an accomplishment for Meredith who wanted nothing more than to run and for Olivia who wasn't quite sure what to think.

"Dad, you just let her come? She's missing school, she doesn't know what's going on!" Addison yelled into her cell phone. Her father was acting insane, her fifteen year old daughter had no idea what was going on with her parents' marriage and sending Olivia to Seattle was going to make everything so much harder. "Dad, Dad, you know why I asked you to watch her. It's hard enough, throwing Olivia into the mix is insane. She's going to miss her friends, miss New York, and she's going to have to wonder why her father decided to leave and move across the country! I'm not ready, she's not ready!" Addison realized she was screaming into the phone and almost in tears, taking a deep breath away from the phone. She thought of the girl she'd seen that morning she was her daughter, she had her eyes, chestnut waves, and lips that twisted differently at every emotion. Olivia looked as sweet as she did the day she was born, today she looked colder and more detached, but still sweet. Picking up the phone she was filled with regrets of the past, "You shouldn't have let her come."
After calming down Addison heard a knock at her office door. "Come in,"
"Hey."
"Hey, baby. Sorry we left you earlier."
"Yeah, it's fine. I talked to Uncle Mark."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah," Olivia looked around the room trying to find words.
"Liv."
"Mom, I just wanted to…I missed you."
"I know Liv, talk to me. How's Emily? What about Jay?"
"They're good, Jay and I went to see Carrie Underwood."
"Jay went to see Carrie Underwood?"
"Yeah, he told me not to tell anyone."
"So was it a date?" Addison asked laughing at her daughter's now red face.
"I don't…maybe." Olivia looked at her mother who was smiling at her. These were the moments she missed.
"Jay's nice."
"Yeah."
"Yeah," Addison signed glad to finally see her daughter's real smile again.
