Daphne lays in the on call room, her feet resting on two pillows. Over the past couple days she's learnt why so many women complain about pregnancy: swollen feet.

She's been observing some of Derek's surgeries recently and her feet are betraying her. Though she had a pair of very comfortable shoes for surgery, her feet have gotten so swollen that she's had to wear Callie's shoes.

She continues to lay on the bed, her eyes closed, when she hears the door open. Her head turns to find a small brunette intern, lightly crying.

"Are you okay?"

The girls head snaps up and she looks at Daphne with wide eyes, "I'm so sorry Dr. Torres! I didn't mean to disturb you!" She goes to run out of the room when Daphne stops her, "Stay, what's wrong honey?"

"It's my sister - well my half-sister - I've just met her, and she works here, but she wants nothing to do with me. And I-I just want her to like me yet she hates me!"

Daphne sighs and sits up, patting the spot next to her, "What's her name? Maybe I can help you."

"Meredith, Meredith Grey."

Daphne hums, "You're Lexie." Lexie stares at her scared again, "Oh my god! How could I not realize, you're Daphne Torres, you're in her year! Shit! Shit! Please don't tell her!"

Daphne gives her a comforting smile, "I won't tell her anything, but, back to your problem, she has a difficult time trusting people. Over time, she will learn to trust and love you, just like a sister should."

Lexie smiles and wraps her arms around the resident, "Thank you so much Dr. Torres."

"Daphne, call me Daphne, all my friends do."

Two months ago

Daphne and Mark stand outside a brick home, flowers blooming on the outside, "Do you think she'll like me?"

Mark chuckles and hugs the brunette close to his body, "She'll love you honey, Mrs Sheperd never hates anybody."

"But she's basically your mom!"

Mark smiles down at her and places a small kiss on her forehead, "Come on baby, we'll be fine." He walks forward and knocks on the door, it opening ten seconds later.

"Mark!"

Mark chuckles, again, and let's go of Daphne, reaching forward and pulling the short grey haired woman into a bear-like hug, "Hi Mrs Sheperd."
