Amelia's POV

Many hours have already passed since they have brought Derek to the hospital and Meredith had left me with the children, alone in the house. I had called my mum and she had caught the next flight out to Seattle. She had made me the promise to not tell my other sisters and their families that our brother is still alive. My mother should see him first and he should get some calmer moments because I was totally sure that if my sister and their families would know that Derek is still alive, they would fly out there as soon as possible and Derek wouldn't have any calm minute anymore. And he needs a lot of silence at the moment.

"Auntie Amy, when does Nana arrive?" my little niece, Zola, asked me. I have woken up the children today pretty early, so that I had enough time to make them ready before we had to drive to the airport to pick up my mum. I have left Meredith a message which I have posted on the fridge. I have also left her a voice mail on her phone because I wasn't able to get a hold of her. My mom should be there any minute. I haven´t seen her since the funeral, but I had spoken to her very often. She had called me almost every day to be sure that I was okay. She couldn't bear to lose another child.

"Aunt Amy?" Zola asked me again and poked me on my coat.

"What`s the matter, Sweetie?", I asked my little niece.

"When does Nana arrive?" she asked me again.

"She's right there. See?" I answered and pointed at an elder, sporty dressed woman with a gray short haircut. She was going very fast to our direction. The children and I ran towards her.

"Amelia!" she said when we met. She hugged me and then she turned towards the kids. "Zola, Bailey, you are so big!" she said, and hugged both of them.

"Nana!" Zola said happily. She was so excited that her grandmother was here. Bailey was a little bit shy, but he was definitely also very excited to see Carolyn again.

After she cuddled both of them extensively she said, "And this must be the little Ellis. She totally looks like Derek."

"Yes, she does." I said with a lovely glimpse to my youngest niece. "Come on. Let's go. Do you want to go to the hospital now?" I asked my mother.

"Yes, let´s go to the hospital immediately." she answered. I took Zola by my hand, Bailey and Ellis where in this special double stroller which Meredith had bought one or two months ago. Together, we went outside the airport where I had parked the car. I placed the kids into their car seats and then I tucked my mum's luggage and the stroller in the compartment. I got inside the car on the driver's seat. My mum sat in the passenger seat next to me. I started the car and turned the player on. Since very recently, our sweet Zozo listened to the soundtrack of Frozen, while we are driving. Just today, we listened to this CD because otherwise she would start to nag. That's what she has been doing as of late, during she was in the car and we would need about an hour from the airport to the Seattle Grace. Except of the music, it was pretty quiet in the car, Bailey and Ellis slept, Zola drew something and my mom and I were just sitting her and didn't say anything.

After about an hour, we arrived at the hospital, it was already nine o'clock. I didn't have to work today and Meredith was probably still in the hospital because she hadn't called yet. My mom and I went out of the car and we took the kids outside, then we went inside the hospital.

We took the elevator to the surgeon's floor. There we met the woman from yesterday. "What are you doing here again?" she asked me rudely.

"We're here to see Derek. We are his family and you won´t be able to stop us from seeing him." I said calmly.

"Daddy?" Zola asked nosily.

"Yes, Daddy." I said.

"But isn't Daddy with Uncle Mark and aunt Lexie in heaven?", my niece asked me confused. Zola is very smart.

"And you must be the little girl, which was planted on Derek." Renée meant.

"Zola is the adoptive daughter of my only son and his wife. And who might you be?" my mum snidely asked.

"I am Derek's wife." she answered in a very arrogant way.

"Mrs. Collier-Shepherd?" Stephanie asked from behind of me. She scared me because I didn't recognize that she was also there. We turned around in order to be able to look at Stephanie. "We have a few questions regarding Dr. Shepherd's health insurance and all that stuff. May you follow me?" she asked.

"Of course." Renee answered and followed Edwards. Before Stephanie went away she whispered Derek's room number into my ear. She also told me that Meredith was with him. We went to the room number and I knocked on the door and stepped inside. My mum was staying outside with the kids because I wanted to talk to Meredith without them.

"You scared me, I thought that you were Renee." she told me.

"Don´t worry. She is with Edwards at the moment." I told her. Meredith sat down again.

"Where are the kids?" she asked me.

"They're waiting outside with my mom." I told her.

"Your mom is here?" she asked me disbelievingly.

"Yes, I called her after you went to the hospital. She is his mum, too, and I thought that she should know that he is alive." I explained myself to her. "Don´t worry, my sisters' don´t know it yet." I continued after I saw her tense. "What do you think, can the kids see him?" I asked Meredith finally. She nodded.

I went outside to my mum and my nieces and nephew. "Your Daddy is inside, but he is really tired and that's why he is sleeping." I told the kids before we went inside. I opened the door and Zola ran immediately inside.

She wanted to jump and Derek's bed and cried "Daddy" but Meredith stopped her and put a finger on her mouth. "Shh… Daddy is sleeping and we don´t want to wake him up just yet, okay?" she asked Zola calmly. Zola shook her head and then sat down on Meredith's lap. Also Bailey sat down on Meredith's other lap. Ellis slept peacefully in the stroller.

I turned to look at my mother; she stood frozen in front of Derek's bed. "Derek!" she whispered calmly and cried. She was so happy.

I took Zola and Bailey so that Meredith was able to stand up. She took the chance to stand up and went to my mum. She placed her arm on her shoulder, "They gave him some sleeping pills so that he was able to rest."

My mum nodded and I started to play with the kids in the corner so that Meredith and my mom could talk without being interrupted by the kids.

"Who is that woman outside?" my mum asked, Meredith stared at the floor. It was clear that this situation was new to her but my mum didn't give up. "She calls herself Collier-Shepherd and she claims to be his wife."

"Yes, it seems like Derek re-married. I have called a lawyer and also a detective. They're trying to find out what's going on, I think Derek have amnesia. I don´t understand how it could be that he is still alive. I just don´t understand. After all, I have pulled the plug and we have buried him. How could that be then? I`m feeling so lost." Meredith said totally anxious and confused. She started crying. My mum hugged her.

Suddenly we heard a raspy male voice, "Where am I?" Zola jumped up promptly and she called, "Daddy!" She recognized the voice immediately and ran to him and hugged him. Also Bailey ran to Derek.

I looked at him, he was awake but he still looked pretty groggy. It was clear that he didn't know what was going on. He was just so confused and helpless. Meredith cried even more and my mum started crying silently, too. I took Ellis outside of her stroller and went with her in my arms to Derek. He looked back at everyone with confusion in his eyes while Zola and Bailey hugged him.
