Alex realized that he still hadn't heard from the hospital. A c-section usually takes half an hour tops, so he was worried. He called the hospital and asked for Nurse Oliver.

"Hi, this is Dr. Karev. I'm calling to get an update on Meredith Grey."

"I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to call. She is out of surgery, and she is doing well. She had a baby girl."

"Thanks. I should be there by 2 p.m. at the latest. I got a 7 a.m. flight, but I have to change in LA."

"No problem. See you then."

Alex then called Maggie. "It's Alex."

"What's up?"

"Meredith has surfaced. I'm on my way to see her. It turns out she was pregnant; she just had a baby girl."

"Have you spoken to her?"

"No, I got a call from a nurse. I'm her emergency contact. Anyway, I just spoke to the nurse again, and Meredith and the baby are both fine."

"So she disappeared to have a baby."

"I'm going to make sure she comes back here."

"Good. Please let her know I send my best wishes, and I'd be happy to come and visit."

"Will do."

Alex smiled. He had spoken to Hunt and Maggie, and he had gotten the latest info from the hospital. He texted Jo and Hunt to let them both know that the baby was a girl and Meredith was doing fine.

Meanwhile, at the Dream House, Hunt was still talking with Amelia when he saw the text. "That was Karev. You have a niece, and Meredith is doing well."

"Derek would have loved another little girl."

"Yes. We're all going to have to be there for Meredith and her kids. I'm sure it's going to be tough for all of them, but we can help. " Hunt bid Amelia good-bye as he went to work.

Amelia went to the phone and called Addie.

"Hi Amelia, it's awful early for you to be calling. Is everything okay?"

"Things are great. I thought you'd want to know that we've gotten word about Meredith. She just had a baby girl in San Diego."

"Meredith had another baby?"

"Yes. Apparently she disappeared so she could be alone for her pregnancy. Karev was her emergency contact, so he's on the way to see her. And maybe bring her and all the kids back."

"Amelia, are you happy that Derek has another baby?"

"I'm in shock, Addie. It's been so weird to be here in Derek's dream house by myself, no Derek, no Meredith, no Zola, no Bailey. I usually sleep at the hospital. This house is full of Derek. I get why Meredith left. I know what it's like to be pregnant with a dead man's baby. And really, when I was pregnant, none of you cared about Ryan. You only cared about me. I know it would have been hard for her to stay here, carrying Derek's child, all of us feeling sorry for her. And it sounds like she is has a healthy baby, so she's lucky in that."

"Are you jealous of Meredith? I would understand if you are. She has three children, and your baby died."

"How can I be jealous of Meredith? If Derek wasn't my brother, I might be jealous. But the baby is my niece, another person to remember Derek with."

"Do you know which hospital she went to?"

"No, but probably the best one there, I would expect."

"Do you think I should visit her?"

"Ask Alex. He's the only person she's spoken to since she left. I don't think she's even spoken to Cristina."

"She really loved Derek."

"I know. So did I."

"I know. And Derek knew. And I'm sure you'll be a big help with Derek's kids, if Meredith lets you."

"Anyway, I thought you would want to know that Meredith is no longer missing."

"Thanks for letting me know. Strangely enough, I was worried about her."

"You're a good person, Addie, being worried about your ex-husband's wife."

"I'm lucky. I have Jake and Henry. It all worked out for me. And I feel terrible about Derek's death. He was a big part of my life, and I was happy we were able to stay friends after we divorced."

"Well, you're a great sister to me."

"Thanks."

Meanwhile, Jo was having breakfast when Arizona came downstairs. "Where's Karev? I thought I heard him leave early this morning."

"He's off to San Diego to see Meredith Grey."

"Meredith?"

"He was her emergency contact. Don't worry, it's nothing bad. She had a baby, Derek's baby, and had an emergency c-section. She's fine, and the baby's a girl."

"That's great."

"He's determined to bring her back to Seattle."

"Sofia would like that. Have you told Callie yet?"

"No, I was going to tell her when I got to work."

"I'll call her now." Arizona called on her phone.

"Hi Arizona, is everything okay?"

"Better than okay, Callie. Alex heard from Meredith, and she's in San Diego, and she just had a baby girl."

"A baby girl?"

"Yes, she disappeared for her pregnancy."

"It must have been very rough to go through the pregnancy alone."

"I guess she thought it was better to be alone than to be here, with all of us hovering over her. Jo said Alex plans to bring her back to Seattle."

"That would be good."
