I woke up in a hospital room. There was an IV in my arm. Was Derek really alive? Did all of this really happen? Or was I dreaming. I took out my IV. I knew that wasn't smart but I needed to find Alex.

"Mer! What are you doing?!"
"Was I dreaming?"
"....No."
"So Derek is alive?!"
"We don't know. But you weren't dreaming."
"Wait. Does he have a new phone number?"
"I don't know Mer."
"Uhh. Ok."
"Can I go back to work?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."

"Dr. Grey."
"What?"
"I'm very sorry about earlier."
"Yeah um. Is Derek really alive?"
"Meredith!"
I recognize that voice. I would recognize it anywhere.
"Derek?!"
"Omg!"
I was frozen.
"You- you were dead."
"No. I was forced to fake it. I'm sorry."
"I- uh. Alex?"
"Yeah."
I gave him a look. I think he understood it. It was a look about my daughter. He ran to the daycare.
I pinched my arm.
"What are you doing Meredith?"
"I'm pinching my arm."
"I get that but why?"
"To wake up."
"You aren't dreaming. I'm real."
"What-I. Derek. I need to talk to you."
"About?"
"Come here."

Meredith pulled him into an on call room.
"I am out of words to say. But I'm gonna start with this."
"Ok."
"When you died, or fake died. I ran away. I found out I was um. Pregnant. So we have a daughter. Her name is Lexie Ellis Grey-Shepherd."
"How old is she?"
"Only a few months."
"I'm sorry Mer. I didn't want to do that. But I was forced to."
"I understand. This is a lot to take in. For the both of us. I'm just glad you are ok."
They hugged. Mer held on to Derek stronger than ever. She started crying. She always thought about this day. But she never thought it would be real.

"I. Do you want to meet Lexie?"
"Yea. I do."
Alex came back with Lexie in his arms.
"Here she is."
"She is so pretty."
"Yeah."
"She looks like you Meredith."
I know.
