It was the night of Prom. Derek was nervous. He nearly slept with Meredith Grey tonight. He felt guilty but on the other hand was glad because that incident showed him that he loved Addison and only her. When he run out of that exam room, he wanted to find his wife and take her home. He found her in the lobby.

- Addie, can we go home please?

- But why? Is something wrong?

- No. I just want to go home and spend some time with my wife - he smiled at her and took her hand.

- Oh OK then let's go - she smiled back and they went to the parking lot.

While driving to the trailer, Derek was holding Addison's hand. She was touched by the gesture and affection Derek was showing her. When they got home, she started to undress from her gown and Derek took off his jacket. He looked at her and wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her closer to him.

- Derek is something wrong? You act strange.

- Something almost happened tonight Addie - he sigh - but I'm glad it did - he hugged her tighter.

- What happened Derek? - she was afraid to ask but she wanted to know - You have to tel me!

- I almost slept with Meredith at Prom - in that moment Addison pulled away but he grabbed her wrists to keep her close - I know what you think but I didn't do it. We were in an exam room and she kissed me but I pulled back. I stopped because I understood that the only person I love is You and only you - he wrapped his arms again around her and pulled her so close that their faces were just millimeters apart. When he was sure she won't pull back he cupped her cheeks and looked her in the eye.

- I love you Addie. I'm sorry I hurt you and pushed you into Mark's arms. And I promise you I'll be your husband, friend and lover for the end of the World. Will you forgive me and try to trust me again? - they both had tears running down their cheeks.

Addison nodded her response. She was too shell shocked to talk. She was ready to give up on her marriage. She couldn't compete with Meredith so now when Derek was sincerely apologising and promising his love for her she felt like she was flying.

- I love you too Derek. Always and forever - she whispered.

That made Derek smile wide. He kissed her softly and Addison immediately responded. They were kissing for a few minutes when Derek picked her up and carried her to bed. He laid her gently and just looked at her with admiration. Addison laid on the bed with closed eyes. She thought she's dreaming and didn't want to wake up. Derek, who read her like a book, hovered over her and kissed her lips.

- You're not dreaming baby. It's not a dream and even if it is I'll make sure it stays that way - he laid above her kissing her again. She was only in her lingerie so it wasn't long before he was turned on but tonight he decided was her night and he wanted to show her how much he loved her and how serious he was about their marriage.

So when Addison started to unbotton his shirt he grabbed her arms and put them above her head.

- No, Addie. This is your night. I want you to know how much I love you - he let go of her hands and trailled down her body.

That night they made love several times and than fall asleep in each

other arms.

In the morning Derek was the one waking up first. He laid in bed just watching his wife and when sie stirred he kissed her.

- Morning baby

- mmm Morning and thank you

- Don't. I'm the one who should thank you.

- I'm thanking you for giving me my husband back

- Thank you for waiting so long

- I love you and I wouldn't be anywhere else and I'm so sorry for Mark

- It's ok. It was my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you into his arms and react like I did and than cheat on you with Meredith.

- Please, let's not talk about it anymore. We should move forward and try to be happy.

- You're right baby. How about I'll call Richard and ask him for a few days off? We'll go around Seattle, have a diner in some fancy place etc.

- I'd love that Derek!
