This chapter is dedicated to Maureen, she gave me the suggestion of Luke having ADHD. I'm looking for more ideas so please let me know. Thank you.

"Dad why do I have to see a shrink?" Luke asked his dad over the dinner table. Everyone stops eating and looks at Derek for an answer. George and Ella made an educated guess why their parents were making him see a child psychologist but didn't know the actual reason.

"They're just going to run a few tests, there's nothing to be worried about" Derek assures his son, who isn't satisfied.

"But why? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No sweetie, there's nothing wrong with you, the psychologist will just run some tests to make sure everything is okay in your brain" Meredith replies. She and Derek had thought about it for a long time and had finally decided to get their son tested for ADHD.

"You want to check my brain because of the crash?" Luke asks thinking he had understood what they were meaning.

"No, we know your brain is fine from the crash we just thought because of it now would be a good time to have some tests run" Derek corrected his son

"But why?" Luke asks exasperated, he was becoming very worked up and they could tell he would lose his temper soon.

"Jesus Luke you have ADHD. That's why you're getting tested so mum and dad can prove to themselves it's not their fault you're how you are" George replies with a raised voice, but he regrets it when he sees his parents angered looks but even more when he sees Luke's hurt expression.

"George! That is not why we're getting him tested. Luke we're getting you tested so we can help you" Meredith tries to make the situation better.

"You think I have ADHD? I don't even know what that is" Luke mutters hurt. He was a smart kid but he didn't know much about things that didn't interest him.

"ADHD is a condition where you seem to be quite hyperactive, or you like to be the centre of attention. It's easily fixed though, you'll be prescribed some pills which will help you a lot buddy, I promise" Derek explains to his son.

"But I don't want help, I don't think there's anything wrong with me" Protested Luke. He was looking at the floor not wanting to make eye-contact with anyone. Was there really something wrong with him?

"There's nothing wrong with you, we just feel if we get you some medicine you will find things a lot easier, okay buddy?" Derek moves his arm across the table to put a supportive hand on Luke's shoulder. Luke looks up and their blue eyes connect, and for the life of him Derek would never think there was anything wrong with him. He was brilliant, handsome and witty, there can't be anything wrong with his son.

"Okay" Luke mumbles. He looked over at George and Ella who smile sadly at him. Of course they'd known most of Luke's life he'd suffered from ADHD. They had to grow up with him constantly wanting to be centre of attention, constantly leaving tasks half-finished and always being hyperactive.

Jackson sat with Luke in his back garden. When Derek and Meredith were both working late, George, Ella and Luke would stay at either Cristina and Owen's or Jackson and April's depending on who was working. Ever since they were left alone at home a few years back and Luke found the matches and started a small fire which the fire department had to come and put out, they haven't been allowed to stay at home alone for more than a few hours. Although the fire didn't do any permanent damage, Derek and Meredith were not impressed.

"I have to be tested for ADHD" Luke mumbles sadly.

"I know buddy" Jackson smiles putting his arm around the boy and pulling him closer "But it will be fine"

"Do you think there's something wrong with me?"

"No of course I don't. But I do agree with your parents that you probably have ADHD, so maybe getting tested isn't the worst idea in the world" Jackson theorised

"I never really thought there was anything wrong with me" Luke replies sadly

"Hey buddy look at me" Jackson orders lifting Luke's chin so he was looking directly at him "There is nothing wrong with you, absolutely nothing. Having ADHD doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, lots of people have it, and having it makes you who you are"

"Will you come with me when I have my tests?" Luke asks hopefully

"Course I will, get your dad to give me the date and I'll be there" Jackson smiles, ruffling Luke's hair.

Derek and Jackson were sat in the waiting room of the child psychologist. Luke had been much happier to go with Jackson there, so it was a lot easier.

"Thanks for coming with him Jackson, it means a lot to him" Derek smiles at the younger man

"I don't mind at all" Jackson beams

"You're a really good god-father, I hope you know how much Luke loves you. He enjoys spending time with you so much"

"The feeling is mutual Derek, I love that kid and I would do anything for him" Jackson admits.

Luke walks out of the office with the psychologist, who was smiling at him. She walked over to Derek and Jackson following Luke.

"Could I have a word?" She asks them both. Derek turns to look at Jackson who nods "You go, I'll stay with Luke". Derek nods agreeing before following her in to the office where Luke had just come out of.

"How was it? As bad as you thought?" Jackson asks Luke, referring to the tests he had to do.

"She thinks I have it, I could tell by the way she looked at me" Luke observes.

Meanwhile in the psychologist's office. Derek was listening intently to what she was saying about his son.

"I have come to the conclusion that Luke does suffer from ADHD which is why he often talks a lot, and is easily wound up" She explains "However this can be solved with Ritalin pills which will calm him down, he should take them daily" She adds handing Derek a container of pills.

"Thank you for your time" Derek smiles getting up from his seat.

"Dr Shepherd there's one more thing" She comments and Derek sits back down slightly confused because all she was supposed to be testing for is ADHD.

"After only spending 20 minutes with Luke I can tell he is very intelligent"

"He is very intelligent, one of the smartest kids I know" Derek agrees

"Yes but I mean very intelligent. I think Luke is gifted. A lot of geniuses often suffer from problems like ADHD which make them seem less capable but the way your son thinks and can solve problems suggests he is very gifted academically"

"So my son has ADHD but is a genius?"

"Yes exactly" The psychologist smiles.

"Well okay, thank you again" He smiles actually leaving this time. When he walks out he sees Luke laughing with Jackson about something.

"Hey buddy, you ready to go?" Derek asks walking over to his son

"What did she say?" Luke asks curiously

"She said you do have ADHD" Derek explains "However she also concluded that you're gifted"

"Gifted?" Jackson looks at Derek "As in gifted academically?"

"Exactly"

"So I probably actually am smarter than both of you?" Luke asks grinning

"You probably actually are buddy" Derek smiles at his son, who continues to make him proud every single day.
