What if Derek wasn't in the plane crash? How would he react? ------------------ Owen didn't equip me for the team. He said I would distract Meredith to much. So I had to stay home, with Zola and Alex. Alex was the only one left in the house of Meredith. So he would help me with Zola when I had late operations. ------------------ This is an AU, so this isn't real. I don't own any of these characters. They all belong to Shonda Rhimes and the cast. -------------------

Derek leaves Seattle with his first wife Addison, and while doing so also left behind Meredith with a baby that was unknown to him.
