Alex: Leah, what

Derek: What are you doing here? Do you need one of us?

Leah: No, no everything is ok but I need to tell you guys something, may I come in?

Meredith: Of course

Leah: Loosing Heather made me realize a few things and its entirely my fault but I thought you should know now so

Derek: What is it?

Leah: I think you should sit

Owen: Leah

Meredith: Well I am lying down so what is it?

Derek sits down on Meredith bed, Alex is holding Bailey in his arms, Owen grabs a chair

Leah: I am, I wanted you to like me as me and the reason, I realized you can only be yourself if you open up and tell everybody the truth.

Derek: What is it? I don't think we can take much more

Leah: I wanted you to like me as me and not

Meredith: Leah just say it out loud, we have been through a lot lately so nothing shocks us that easily believe me.

Alex: Yeah, we don't have all day.

Leah: A long time ago, the reason I am in this program was my mom called my real dad although he never knew he was my real dad, I wanted him to get to know me but then

Derek: Are you mine or Owens, Leah, do you want to talk to me alone, you know, Meredith, I

Leah: No, no don't worry, it's not you either of you. I am sorry I should have started in a different way, I mean

Meredith: Who is it?

Leah: My name is not Leah Murphy its Leah Adelstein , my dad was Mark Sloan, I am his daughter. I am your dead best friends daughter. My mom s name is Elisabeth Rosenthal

Derek: No, that isn't possible! I don't believe it.

Leah nods: Yes, you and my mom and Mark used to play together. Her parents got upset when she fell in love with my dad who was not only not Jewish but also had kind of a reputation back then. So they separated my parents, at that time it was still easy, she was sent off to boarding school and had me and they were able to interrupt their contact with each other until my mom met somebody else and my grandparents convinced her to marry him, my stepdad, Paul was a good guy, I missed nothing growing up but I found some letters once in the attic, pictures, its so cliché I know but that is when my mom told me. Mark I think he thought my mom had left him but that wasn't true, so

Derek hugs her when he sees Leah in tears

Derek: I should have known, I should have seen. Mark, you, you look like him and Eli

Leah: I know, I am the perfect mixture, blue eyes, her smile, his passion for medicine, my mom, every time from that day in the attic she told me all about him.

Derek: Its so good, you, I got a bit of him back. Hey, hey you are staying with us. You have to meet Sofia, your half-sister. From now on we will take care of you. My god, I have, this is great

Owen: Why didn't you tell us in the first place?

Leah: Because I listened to my grandparents, I spend a lot of time with them before I went to Boarding School, they told me my dad betrayed my mother with his best friend and that he was a horrible person. I wanted to find out for myself who he really was, I wanted to know if what my mom told me was true or the story that my grandparents told me.

Owen: I understand, who

Derek holds her: You know Mark never got over your mother. He really thought she left him, that is whye became the person he was, that is why he was afraid to commit.

Meredith: Really?

Derek: Well, he always had his charm, he was always a ladies man but Elisabeth, she was something. Beautiful and intelligent, so lively and

Meredith: Was that before you met Addison? I mean, were you into another woman, come on you can tell me

Derek: No I was never in love with Elisabeth and yes, I met Addison later at university, Elisabeth, we grew up together. Mark and Eli that was it from the beginning, we it was him and her and I was their best friend. Leah is your mom

Leah: Yes, she always asks about you, whenever my stepdad isn't around and I also send her pictures that I secretly took, I am so sorry but I am slowly understanding that my grandparents lied and she told me the truth all along.

Derek: Why don't you ask her to visit?

Leah: I

Meredith: Derek you

Derek takes a deep breath: Yes I am

Derek smiles: I guess we just got us the perfect godmother for our child.

Meredith looks at her smiles and knows he is right.

Derek: Leah, as being Marks and Eli s daughter and to include you into the family would you do us the honor and become Baileys godmother?

Leah: What?

Derek: You are family and my mother never did tell me what happened to Eli and my sisters, I will have a very tough talk with them so

Leah: I don't know what to say

Alex: Yes would be easy as he already got me

Leah: You?

Alex: Me

Derek: He is a good guy, you will realize that sooner or later. Leah, you should have said something earlier

Leah: I wanted to make it on my own

Derek: I understand, Meredith went through it, Jackson did

Leah nods

Derek: But believe me its easier when you have some help. And I always thought you were a good doctor, Heather was just more lively, and we had a connection but she is gone and we will miss her but you, you are now here.

A nurse is knocking on the door

Owen smiles

Owen: As we have the owners of the hospital here, I think we have something to celebrate

Derek opens the bottle of Champagne

Meredith: To the people we lost

Derek: To the people we found

Owen: and to the people that were born today.

Cheers

Meredith: Oh I really needed that and Owen, fill Christina in.

Owen: I will, Leah

Meredith: Leah, stick to Owen

Derek: Tell Bailey who she is otherwise she will

Owen nods: I will although Bailey and Mark

Meredith: Hey

Derek: I will call Callie, she needs this now

Leah: I really cant believe all that, all this time

Meredith: Hey I tried but you wouldn't tell me, I told Derek that I believed in you but there was something you didn't tell us now we know.

Leah nods: I was afraid and

Meredith: You are going to be great in every possible way. We got your back now we are family and that is not always easy, you will hate us sometimes

Leah: I think its great to have family, a big family

Meredith: Most of the time but you are gonna spend your time in this hospital learning or you will do babysitting, tons of it

Leah: I look forward to it.

Meredith: Then go, tell everybody, make your way

Leah starts crying again

Meredith: Come over

Leah: You

Meredith: I am there for you ok, you can do this. Derek and I

Leah nods

Meredith: Don't cry

Leah: I am trying

Meredith: Try harder and come back to me after you shift ends. I need to give you the keys to the house. Guest bed room is now your room, I will be out in a few days and Derek, Owen

Derek: If you agree to play nurse for a few days I would be really grateful

Leah: I am staying in your house and

Meredith: I will be back in to work in a few days, maybe even earlier but I need somebody watching me and helping me with Bailey. Whenever he sleeps I tell you about Mark, about me and I show you tapes of cool surgeries my mother did, ok?

Leah: Ok
